Chapter 419: Use less ice
After entering June, the heat in this Jinling City is a little unspeakable.
Du Jingyi wanted to turn back to Sui'an City several times, although the summer was the same scorching, but compared to here, the summer in Sui'an City was still slightly more relaxed.
The Gu family has its own special ice cellar, so it is not troublesome to use ice in each yard, but after the cost of making and using ice came up, the cost of the entire Gu family increased a lot.
Although the Gu family has a big business, the expenditure of nearly thirty percent still makes Du Jingyi feel that there is a lot of waste, and after thinking about it, he finally thought of a good way.
There are many children in the family, and it is troublesome to take care of them separately, so it is better to pull out three separate wings in the denser forest in the backyard, connect them together, and use ice uniformly.
When the heat wave is about to start, you can take the children there, and when the heat wave is at its heaviest, they can go back to rest separately, so that the children have time to play together, and the time when the ice is used the most in each yard is avoided.
When she first came up with the idea, she went to talk to her aunt.
She thinks it's good, too!
"In the past, a few of our lonely old women were at home, so the ice cubes were not very wasted, but now there are a lot of children, but it is indeed a little more useful, I will go and talk to the brothers and sisters in the other rooms, don't embarrass you."
The eldest aunt naturally knows the difficulties of being a housekeeper, don't look at the flowers at the moment, the money is still better used on the blade, so after hearing this, she consciously came out to block for Du Jingyi.
Even if there is something unpleasant in everyone's hearts, it is for her, and Du Jingyi will not be involved, and this is well-intentioned, how can Du Jingyi not know?
"The eldest aunt is serious, since I decided this matter, then I naturally won't let the eldest aunt come forward for me, it's okay, I'll tell the other aunts and aunts, presumably they won't embarrass me."
Du Jingyi's mouth is sweet, and whatever comes out of her is very comfortable.
Seeing that she was so sure, the eldest aunt didn't say anything more, but mentioned other things to her.
"It's going to be Brother Ming's first birthday banquet for the three brothers, and it's always been held at home before, why don't we move around this year and go outside?"
Du Jingyi also thought it was interesting when he heard this, the children's first birthday banquet would not be more exaggerated than that of Tai Ge'er at that time, but there should still be something, if you choose a restaurant with a good view, it is not an inappropriate thing to host this banquet.
So he asked.
"My aunt said so, but is there a suitable place to recommend to me?"
"How is Wangjiang Tower?"
Isn't this the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple? Originally, Wangjiang Tower was Yan Zhiqing's industry, so there seemed to be no problem with holding a banquet on his own territory.
It's not good to be too extravagant just to hold a banquet outside, and you still have to take into account the reputation of the Gu family.
Thinking about it, Du Jingyi said.
"Okay, wait until I go back and discuss with the general, if we can, let's go to Wangjianglou to try the food first, and by the way, let's see what location is more appropriate?"
"No problem, call your aunt then, that's also a person who can talk around!"
The eldest aunt teased Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Xing seemed to know in advance, and appeared from outside in a hurry, she was originally a frequent visitor to the Gu family, so after so many years, she was used to not asking her subordinates to report first.
"Yo, it's a coincidence that I came today, as soon as I entered the door, I heard my sister-in-law talking about me, what am I talking about? Tell me about it! ”
The eldest aunt showed that she had been caught lot, and said helplessly.
"Look, you just can't talk about people behind your back, otherwise, that person will definitely come to the door and make trouble!"
When Du Jingyi heard this, he also laughed, and then said in a circle.
"Auntie, sit down and drink tea to moisten your throat, the eldest aunt is telling me, the first birthday banquet of the three children, or it will not be held at home, go to Wangjianglou to see, change places, and the children will be happy."
As soon as Mrs. Xing heard this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately said.
"This proposal is good, three years ago when I celebrated my birthday, the lord also invited to the Wangjiang Building to do it, the place is spacious and comfortable, the food is also delicious, the most important thing is that the scenery is excellent, the river wind blows, but there is a different taste."
"Is the river wind strong?"
"It's not big, the owner of the Wangjiang Tower is a powerful person, I don't know how to find the person who is very good at designing, so there is wind, but I don't think it's blowing badly, and I don't miss a little bit of the scenery, especially after the evening, when the afterglow is sprinkled on the river, that's called a beautiful."
Hearing this, the eldest aunt was also moved.
She has also been to Wangjianglou a few times, but it was all at lunchtime, and she really hadn't seen the sunset on the river that Mrs. Xing said.
Du Jingyi saw the expectations of the elders, so he also felt that this matter was inseparable.
While they were sitting and talking, the four aunts also appeared in the courtyard of the eldest aunt as if they had heard some rumors.
has added another one who can speak well, no matter how you look at it, it's a game that can't be dispersed.
Seeing this, the eldest aunt simply said.
"Or, let's set up a meal in my yard today, although the craftsmanship of the people in the small kitchen is not as good as your girl, but we can make authentic Jinling dishes, let's try it together?"
The fourth aunt and Mrs. Xing naturally agreed, so the eldest aunt asked people to tell the second aunt and the third aunt.
A few people were happy to talk about homely things, and the maids who went to deliver the news also came back, bringing naturally agreed answers.
As a result, the small kitchen in the eldest aunt's yard was rarely busy.
When it came to dinner, the courtyard was not so hot, and the eldest aunt simply asked people to set up meals in the small garden behind the main house, but it was also interesting to enjoy the scenery and eat at the same time.
During the banquet, Du Jingyi told him about gathering the children to go to the backyard to play, but he got everyone's consent, but the second aunt mentioned it.
"Brother Zhong is still a little young, so I won't take him around with me, I have nothing to do anyway, but I can come to help you."
The second aunt expressed her position, and the third aunt also meant this, Gu Xiaolang would naturally go over with her, as for Gu Xiaoyun, it was better to be carefully confined.
Born at the end of May, this month sat too sweaty.
However, she has the personal conditioning of her husband Huo Shilang, and she looks a lot better than her complexion and figure before childbirth!
Even Du Jingyi was a little envious, praising her for being in good health.
And Gu Xiaoyun obviously agreed with this statement, so she thought that when her body was well adjusted, she would have to have two more words.
