Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Chapter 69 What a joke

Shen Qing, who was hiding behind Huo Lin, pouted secretly, it's really hard to serve, this young master's big maid is not easy to be!
Bi Zhu noticed a stranger, so she asked: "Is this a new cook?" She only saw Huo Lin, and she didn't feel like it, because she was too young.

Mr. Fang said: "They are the owners of Miaoweifang. They came to deliver food to me. Although it is the handicraft of rural people, it is home-cooked food. It is simple and natural. Please go in and let me know."

Hong Xiang was not happy, "Young master just fell asleep!"

Manager Fang glared at her, "Master is going to bed hungry, how can he sleep soundly, hurry up!"

Hongxiang wanted to defend again, but was stopped by Bizhu, she said: "My lord, please wait a moment, this servant will go now."

They are both slaves, but the status of the house manager is much higher than them. Even the officials of the fiefdom have to be polite when they see them.

Su Jing didn't fall asleep either, she just closed her eyes and rested her mind, while going through the latest news she received in her mind.

Don't look at him being idle now, as if he has nothing to do, in fact, he has a lot of things to deal with every day. All the messages and orders, not important or simple, are delivered by carrier pigeons.

Important, top-secret information is passed around by his hidden guards, or bodyguards.

These are basically hidden in the dark and will not show up at will.

Therefore, he handles business at night and rests during the day, giving people the illusion of being idle.

"Come in!" Before Bizhu could reply, he sat up.

Hongxiang quickly raised the curtain and opened the door of the main hall to disperse the smell of medicine in the room.

Shen Qing was in a bit of a hurry, for these wealthy families, there were so many things to do when they got up, and there was a set of procedures, which was too much time-consuming.

She looked for an opportunity to say to the house manager: "Fang Manager, I have other things to do. I have to go home after finishing them. Besides, look at the day. It's going to rain. We can't delay any longer. Why don't I go to the small house now?" The kitchen is frying the dishes so we can leave."

Manager Fang was right when he thought about it, "Then you go, the small kitchen is over there, Hong Xiang, take her there."

Hearing what she said just now, Hongxiang couldn't hold back, and seeing her shabby clothes, she snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "What can you do? My son can't eat cold food, can you wait any longer?"

Shen Qing smiled reluctantly, "Miss, what you said is wrong, country people, even if a chicken is lost, that is a big deal, my house is several miles away from the town, in case there is heavy rain along the way and the road surface is slippery, it may be evening They couldn't get home."

Huo Lin was also anxious and interjected: "That's right, walking on mountain roads is the most dangerous in rainy days. It's difficult to pass through rising water."

The more Manager Fang listened, the more reasonable he became, "Just go, I'll talk to you, Young Master, besides, you take this." He took out a piece of silver and handed it to Shen Qing, "If you make such a trip, the family's farm work will also be delayed a lot. , take it!"

Shen Qing's eyes widened suddenly when he saw Yinzi, it was a full twelve taels of silver ingots.

She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but soon thought, why are you being hypocritical!

To the house manager, ten taels of silver is just a hair from nine thousand cows to Su Jing, but to her, it is a huge amount of income.

You can't be hypocritical, you can't pretend to be noble, and you can't pretend to be forceful, and you will be struck by lightning!
"Thank you, Manager Fang." She took it to put the purse, and patted it like a baby.

Manager Fang smiled and said: "You are welcome, this is what you deserve, and it is not easy to take a trip." Hong Xiang looked contemptuous and whispered, "Sure enough, he is a countryman, and he has never seen the world."

This was heard by Huo Lin, and he refused to accept it, "What's wrong with the country people, they don't steal or rob, what's the law?"

Hongxiang glared at him, and the house manager also glared at her, "Go quickly!"

Shen Qing kicked Huo Lin lightly and followed Hongxiang to the kitchen, while the room manager went to report to Su Jing.

For the sake of money, and because she heard that the man had no appetite, she saw the juicy cucumbers in the kitchen, so she peeled them, cut them into slices and pickled them with salt water, preparing to make fresh pickles.

Hongxiang stared wide-eyed at her setting aside the sliced ​​cucumber, and looked at the knife skill again, she couldn't bear to look straight at it, "Don't tell me, this is intended for my master to eat."

Shen Qing blinked, and said innocently: "Could it be that I'm ready to take it away?"

Hongxiang suddenly became furious, "Are you kidding me? Do you think my master is your relative from the countryside and can be fooled at will? Also, what is this? It's black. Is this for human consumption?" she pointed out. Holding the casserole and jumping on his feet, he asked.

Shen Qing was very calm, "It's getting cold, I'll warm it up later."

Hong Xiang became even more anxious, "How many messy things do you have here, can they still be eaten after being heated? No, absolutely not, take all these and throw them away. If you want to do it, just look for ingredients here. Ask them to find whatever is missing. Here it is, but it must be clean, the color must be bright, and the presentation must be exquisite..."

"Stop!" Shen Qing couldn't help being quarreled by her, and was a little unhappy, "Sorry, we country people don't pay much attention to cooking, as long as we can eat it! Your master is precious, at worst, it will be cooked later, he won't I'll take it back after you eat it." Anyway, she did her best, and the ten taels of silver was not in vain, so she had a clear conscience.

Bizhu walked in, and said impatiently: "I heard you guys arguing from afar, is there any more rules, if it's at Su's house, I'll give you a meal early."

Hongxiang complained to her aggrieved, and pointed to the cucumber slices that Shen Qing had cut, "The cuts are so ugly, with different thicknesses, how can the young master eat them."

Bi Zhu walked over to look at it, she was indeed too ugly, even the servants of the Su family would dislike just these dishes.

But she didn't say it directly. She glanced at Shen Qing and saw that her clothes were shabby and patchy. She felt disdainful in her heart, but pretended to be nice on her face, "Little sister, since the house manager asked you to cook, you can do it." Hurry up and finish it, I'll have someone take you out."

She said kindly to the two kitchens on the side: "I have to trouble the two of you to make a few refreshing side dishes. My son has a bad appetite. Don't make greasy ones, especially don't cook chicken. You can't smell it."

Shen Qing sneered in her heart, but she wasn't very angry, anyway, she just came to ask the house manager for a few rewards, and she was fulfilling her previous promise, and she would never come again, hum!
Huo Lin was also very angry, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense. Outside, without Shen Qing's instructions, he would never dare to speak. Can't play.

So, in the small kitchen, she did hers, and the cooks did theirs.

The cucumbers have been slightly marinated, and after the water has passed, they can be mixed.

She didn't put any seasoning, just a little sesame oil and a few drops of vinegar were enough.

I don’t pay much attention to the presentation, I just find a small plate to serve it on and that’s it.

The casserole can be directly heated, so she put the casserole in the pot.

The green peppers had been simmering in it for too long, and they were already rotten. After thinking about it, she decided to pick out all the green peppers.
