Chapter 69: This is to punish the Nine Clans
This will stand at the door of the house and look at the late lady, did not wait for her father-in-law, but waited for Miss Mu.
The late mother knew that her father-in-law was helping in the Mu house, and she came back yesterday and received her salary, and when she saw Xiao Qing coming to her, she thought that her father-in-law had something to do? After all, it's already time for dinner, and no one has come back.
"Miss Mu, why hasn't my father-in-law come back yet?" The late lady asked tentatively.
"There's too many people over there, and it's a bit too busy." Xiao said softly and bluntly. "I came here to ask my sister-in-law for a favor."
Hearing that she didn't come over because she was busy, the late mother's heart was slightly relieved. "Oh, what do you say to help or not, say it, let me do something."
Wanniang is a cheerful person, from the first time they met, Xiao Xiaoqing knew it, and Cai'er did not trouble Wanniang.
Knowing that Miss Mu is a nobleman, her husband is helping their family do things, and the remuneration is also high, and the late mother is even more sincere.
"You see it's dinner time, and the cotton sellers over there are still lining up, just to ask my sister-in-law to find a few women with quick hands and feet to help cook a meal, so you can't let everyone work hungry."
"Okay, nothing else, find a few people, I can still find it." Wan Niang patted her chest and promised.
Wanniang went to find someone, Xiao gently asked for the way and went to Wang Tuhu's house, asking him to send a processed pig directly.
The king's butcher's pigs were all raised by his own family, and he usually slaughtered them at the market and sold them at the town's market. It's not easy to sell, every time there will be some left, he will marinate the leftover pork, or make bacon, sausage or something, and then continue to sell.
It just so happened that tomorrow was the day of the market in the town, and today the king butcher happened to slaughter a pig, and Xiao came lightly.
This is still a little big business, and the king butcher has long been happy in his heart. Originally, I thought that this Miss Mu was a relative of Mrs. Chen's family, but later I heard that it was not, but she came here to do business.
I heard that the price at which Miss Mu bought cotton had exceeded the price at which he sold pork, and he really hated that he hadn't planted a few acres of cotton. It's a pity that his family has been a butcher for generations, and he doesn't know anything about farming, so he has contracted out all the land he has assigned.
After turning around, when Xiao gently returned to Mu Mansion, Wanniang had already brought someone to the kitchen, and she led the person to the kitchen, where there were chickens, ducks, fish and meat that Xiao Xiaoxiao had prepared a long time ago, as well as bundles of green vegetables.
The women who watched it were a little saliva, and they might not be able to eat these things during the New Year.
Wan Niang called a total of four people, plus her, a total of five people, two of whom have some craftsmanship, and give people the spoon whenever they are red and white. Even so, there is no such abundant time.
"There are dishes in the kitchen, and the king butcher will send a pig after a while, and a few aunts can watch it and do it." Xiao said softly and casually. "You don't have to save me."
Several people promised to do it well, plus the people who hadn't left outside, they had to cook a total of more than 100 people.
Xiao Xiaoxiao hadn't gone far before he heard a few aunts inside.
"Sure enough, it's a young lady from a rich family, and she's generous." The gentle voice should be the aunt with a charitable face, a little older.
"What's the use of being generous, it's not that you come out with a child, maybe you're disgusted by your husband's family." The voice was a bit harsh.
"Miss Mu treats us well, if you don't want to do it, go back." This voice was from the late mother, she didn't expect the daughter-in-law next door to be a broken mouth.
"She couldn't hear it again, so she told me what was wrong." It's still the same shrill voice from just now.
This woman's name is Xu Chun, and her cooking skills are okay, and many people usually look for her for red and white ceremonies. Her father was the chef of the town's restaurant, but it seems that he was driven back after stealing something. Before she got married, she always wanted to marry Wang Shi, Wang Shi is the only talent in Mad Cow Village, if she marries him, he will be in high school in the future, she can be a showman.
However, she was several years older than Wang Shi, and Wang Shi looked down on her, and when she was old, the proposer came to the door, and her father made the decision to let him marry the lame son of the Lou family next door to Aunt Chen for a few silver coins.
On weekdays, in front of people, she is also down-to-earth and generous, coupled with the simplicity of the people, and her mind is not so twisted and turned, so naturally she will not think badly. She also picked up Wang Shi when no one was around.
Wang Shi is a person who reads sage books, Xu Chun's insulting thing is the most unsightly, every time he sees this woman from afar, he is afraid that she will entangle himself, so he goes to a crowded place.
When she came to Mu Mansion today, she found that Wang Shi was also there, and she was happy in her heart, but she found that Wang Shi looked at the Mu girl who was leading the way in front of her, and her eyes were unusual, and she was annoyed and hateful, so she held a grudge against Xiao lightly.
"Okay, don't speak, let's hurry up and make the meal, it's better to eat more than 100 people, although the big pot of rice is fast, but it has to be done carefully." It was the first woman to speak who came out to play the round, and she handled the dish neatly in her hand.
So the voice died down, and the king butcher had already brought the pork.
Xiao came to the front yard gently, and only saw the black head, as if there were still people coming one after another. She was a little puzzled, and it wasn't that she didn't accept this cotton tomorrow, so why did she come here today.
"Let's be quiet, bother everyone to say to the later, it's okay to come back tomorrow, it's already dark, everyone goes back and bumps on the road, it's not good." Xiao said softly in a loud voice. "Also, I've already found someone to cook, let's go back after everyone has eaten later, a village goes together, even if something happens at night, there will be a response."
Everyone is also because they can't open the pot at home, so they are in a hurry to buy rice and eat.
"Miss Mu is so nice-"
"Miss Mu is really a good person—"
"Miss Mu, a good person has a good reward——"
The few women brought by the late mother, they didn't know each other, and they didn't know what they did, but they saw the pork sent by the Wang butcher, and they didn't doubt the authenticity of Xiao Qing's words at all.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the scene was high, shouting everything, and even shouting Long live Miss Mu, which made Xiao lightly embarrassed, fortunately this is a small mountain village in the corner, otherwise it will be heard by the person in the high position, this is the crime of destroying the nine clans.
The courtyard was lit with oil lamps, and the light was bright, so Chen Shuzi took everyone to stop what they were doing and borrow some tables and chairs first.
Although there are tables and chairs in the Mu house, they are not easy to move, how can there be simple tables and chairs in the farmhouse. How can you do without food and wine? Knowing that there are people in the village who make wine, although it is only rice wine, it is better than nothing, Xiao lightly prepared to buy some rice wine and come back.
Halfway along the way, Xiao thought softly, when her grandfather used to make wine, she watched it, and she might be able to open a tavern. Let's go back and make some sake first and see if it can be done.
