Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 29

For the rest of the day, the four people who came had a fulfilling life. The banquet sent by Mr. Gao was "big four pieces", twelve dishes.

The dishes are not quite the same as modern Cantonese cuisine, but the advantage is that the raw materials are natural and carefully cooked, sweet, fresh and moist, especially the thick soup with tongue, which made several people nod their heads.

Bei Wei thought it would be good to be a leader, so that ordinary people would not be able to enjoy the opportunities of corruption in the Ming Dynasty.Just as he was thinking about it, Gao Qing's wife Gao Xian brought a reheated main course from the kitchen, but it was a plate full of meatballs the size of pigeon eggs, soaked in shallow clear soup, the fat was crystal clear, sprinkled with Green onion.

Wen Desi picked up the spoon first, and put one in his mouth. Once he bit it, his mouth was full of freshness, and the aftertaste was slightly spicy with pepper.Boss Wen is also a person who has been on the scene in this time and space. Although he doesn't have a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days, his eating experience is one of the best in all the miles.But I can't eat what it is made of. It feels like it has both chicken and aquatic products.asked:

"What is this?"

"This is Shuiluzhen." Gao Xian said softly, "It's made by mixing yellow carapace meat, big whitebait, chicken, frog, and white shrimp. Do you like it, sir?"

"Okay, it's really delicious."

"Yeah, it's really good."

"The landlord is living a decadent life." Wang Gong who said this had an envious expression on his face, which was clearly an expression of wanting to be corrupt.

"It's so exciting to make a meatball!" Bei Wei curled his lips.

"Almost all of these dishes are peppered with pepper, which spoils the good taste." Wen Desi shook his head, as if he felt a pity, "The raw materials are so fresh, and they are all natural..."

"This seems to be the cooking habit of the Ming Dynasty. In the spice export trade in Southeast Asia, Ming Dynasty is also an important market."

"This entrepot trade can be done."

While talking, Gao Xian brought six small plates, which were all smoked snacks and the like, to help the wine.Came over to warm the wine, but saw that the jar of Jinhua wine brought along with the banquet had not been touched, so he hesitated and asked:

"Master, don't you need alcohol?"

"No need to drink." Because they were afraid that drinking would cause trouble, they did not drink at all in Ming Dynasty.

"Masters don't want to use wine, the dew steamed by the slaves themselves, how about some water?"

"Floral dew, toilet water?" Everyone asked.

"Yes, it's all steamed by the servants themselves. Right now, there are only two kinds of rice leaves and perilla. If you don't mind, please try it first."

When it was brought out, it turned out that it was the essential oil liquid distilled from the leaves and flowers of plants. The distilled wine technology in the Ming Dynasty was mature. In addition to making shochu, the small distilling retort was also used for making floral water.

Drink it with water, it does have a delicate and elegant taste.

Xiao Zishan felt suspicious.This Gao Xian is obviously the wife of a tenant, and a maid who works as a rough envoy in Gao's family, but she knows how to make toilet water and recipes for cooking... He couldn't help but look at this woman carefully, and found that she was moving forward and back, with every gesture. They all have a certain style, not as clumsy as their husbands.

Wanting to investigate, he stopped her and asked, "Sister-in-law Gao, have you ever worked in the mansion?"

But Gao Xian trembled, and said in a low voice: "Yes, the servant has been in Gao's house..."

"No way, you are a rough servant in Gao Zhai, how do you know the recipe of this Shui Lu Zhen? And where did you learn how to make flower dew?"

Gao Xian became more and more flustered, and said falteringly, "It's all... all taught by the sisters... I made the master laugh..."

"How old are you?"

"The servant girl is 30 years old."

Xiao Zishan looked at her dark face but could still vaguely see the charm of a young girl, and thought of Colgate's appearance, and then thought of the age difference between the couple, he already understood eight or nine points in his heart, but there is no need at this moment. Say it.

After pondering for a while, he looked outside the hall.There was no one else, Gao Qing was probably working in the backyard.sidewalk:

"Does Gao Qing often go to Master Gao's place these days?"

"..." Gao Xian was taken aback, but said nothing.Xiao Zishan knew it right: Mr. Gao must often ask Gao Qing for news about them.

"Then Guan Shi often comes here too." Xiao Zishan only asked slowly.

"Never been here...just by chance..."

"Did I never come, or was it just a coincidence?!"

"Yes... came here by chance, just acquaintance walking around..." Gao Xian bit the bullet and lied.She was at a loss under this wave of pressing questions.Master Xiao's words imply that he knows everything, including her past, how is this possible, while he was hesitating, he saw Xiao Zishan's complexion gradually soften.Knowing something was wrong, he fell to his knees in front of the table with a plop:

"Slaves deserve to die, they shouldn't lie to the master..."

Bei Wei used to be a revolutionary soldier under the Red Flag, how could he get used to such things, when he was about to speak, Wen Desi stopped him.Although Xiao Zishan's questioning was sudden, it was part of their plan to win people over.

"He's been here many times, right? I'm afraid he went in and looked at the courtyard where we live."

"No, no." Gao Xian's face changed with fright.

"I also promised you that if one day I go back to Australia, I will take you back to Gao's house, but what?!"

Gao Xian was trembling all over - the master knows everything!She couldn't help but secretly resented that her man had no idea.Every time he was coaxed and frightened by Yan Guanshi, he agreed to take him to search. Although he didn't find anything, it was a crime against the Lord!

"Slaves deserve to die, it's all bad for slaves and men..." Gao Xian was so frightened by Xiao Zishan's words that he fell to the ground and pleaded guilty, and told everything about Guanshi Yan's visit and words during their absence.

"A slave man has soft ears and a soft heart, and it's not appropriate to misunderstand other people's nonsense," Gao Xian said with tears in his voice, "I beg the master to see that he is old and has leg problems, please forgive his family law, servant girl May you be rewarded twice.”

What everyone heard was not too different from what they had estimated in advance.Seeing her pleading hard for her husband, she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart.If you don't come to the old society, you really don't know the sweetness of the new society.

Xiao Zishan intentionally waited for a long time before letting out a long sigh:

"Sister-in-law Gao, your whole family has transferred to our name, can I feel sorry for you?"

"The servants were killed. The kindness of the masters, the whole family of the servants is grateful."

"Your family doesn't have enough food, we give monthly rice, and when the children grow up, they don't need money, so we give monthly money. I don't ask for knowledge and kindness. I just want to have a safe place to rest here after traveling thousands of miles. I don't want to give People can see every detail."

Gao Xian didn't answer, just sobbed and kowtowed.

"Get up."

"Slaves don't dare, please master to use the family law to the slaves to abolish the family rules."

Xiao Zishan thought that this woman was really one-of-a-kind, and she really wasn't an ordinary farmer's wife.

"There is no rule without rules. Although you and Gao Qing are at fault for this matter, we did not set the rules beforehand, so it is not a crime for those who do not know. Get up."

"Thank you for your kindness, master." Gao Xian changed his tone when he heard the master's words, and probably wouldn't drive them away.She is not afraid of getting a wrench, but if she angers the master, she is afraid of being driven away. Even if Master Gao is willing to take them in, they will not have a good life in the future.

"Do you understand what will happen in the future?"

"Yes, the servant knows."

"I know you don't come from a small family, and you are much better than Gao Qing when you see things. You must teach him well in the future, knowing how to advance and retreat!"

"I know, I know." Gao Xian nodded repeatedly.

"As long as you work with your heart and be loyal to the Lord, no matter whether we return to Australia in the future, you will not have no results. You can do it yourself."

"Thank you, servant..." Gao Xian was about to kneel down to thank him again, but Xiao Zishan stopped him—it's better not to show off the prestige of the landlord in front of everyone, "Go and call Gaodi here."

After Gao Xian went out, Xiao Zishan turned his head and said to everyone: "How is my acting skills?" He was eager to change the atmosphere in the hall.He doesn't want to give people the impression of domineering, acting, yes, it's just acting.

Wen Desi opened his mouth wide: "Zishan, your ancestors were really poor peasants?"

"of course."

"You are simply the Golden Horse Movie King." Wang Gong also admired.

"Scared the girl. Let's get over it." Bei Wei couldn't bear it.

"It's over, but it's the minimum to pay equal attention to kindness and power." Xiao Zishan nodded, "We are surrounded by eyes. If we don't reverse this situation, we won't be able to carry out our work in the future."

Wen Desi said: "It was 'en' to give them benefits in the past, but now it's time to show 'power'."

"Yes," Xiao Zishan explained, since they can't dig out these "eyes" now, they can only turn the "eyes" around.

"Is that enough?"

"Just start. Loyalty can't be established with just a few words. It's very difficult to accept younger brothers."

To gain loyalty, the first is to have strength—no one will be loyal to a weak individual or organization; the second is to have interests, and only with interests can one have the motivation to work hard.They have already given benefits in the past, and now they have to show their strength.To a certain extent, it will come naturally.

"I think it's easy for the seniors who travel through time, but after a few words, the younger brothers will fall down and worship."

"Aren't we arrogant?"

"You have it, I don't want to..."

The atmosphere at the dinner table became active again, Xiao Zishan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact he was not very sure about this conversation, but he took advantage of women's fear of the past.

After talking for a while, Gaodi came, he was young but very smart, seeing his mother's red eyes, he knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly brought the account book to see.

Wen Desi casually asked about the situation at home, and then looked at the account book—this account book is just a running account, and the access to and exit from the house is simple, and he can understand it in a short time, so he praised him a few more words. Faded, only to ask:

"Do people from the Gao family come here often?"

"Come here often!" The boy didn't hold back, and nodded vigorously, "That Yan Xiaomao comes here often, and always whispers to Dad."

"Yan Xiaomao?" Wen Desi was taken aback for a moment, before realizing that he was talking about Yan Guanshi - he often wore a Liuheyitong hat.

"What are you talking about?"

Brother Gao hesitated for a while, Xiao Zishan said: "Just say it."

"It seems that Yan Xiaomao is always inquiring about the old men," Gaodi said, "but father doesn't allow me to be around and listen to them."

"Does the Gao family treat you well?"

"Okay?" Brother Gao didn't quite understand the question, "I don't know if it's good or not, I... have never worked as an errand for the Gao family, the gentlemen in the cashier treat me well, and there are a few children, we often play together. "

"Are they all servants of the Gao family?"

"Yes, there are families who have children, and there are people like me."

"Are there any of those children who are particularly close to you?"

"There are some, Xiao Li, Xiao Qian, and the two brothers of the Wang family..."

"Okay, come to the study later and open a register." Wen Desi ordered.
