Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 76 Huairou

Speaking of this, Nan Surou looked up at Yunrong: "I asked you to prepare, and those things I told you, have you done it?"

Yun Rong was still worried at first, but when she heard Nan Surou's sudden question, she immediately responded like a conditioned reflex: "Yes, the slaves and maidservants are all done, but Miss, these..."

What exactly do these arrangements mean, Yun Rong couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it.

Nan Surou's smile deepened, and she said: "Since it's already settled, don't think too much, just guard the yard carefully."

Nan Surou checked the things in her purse, everything was ready, and then she got up.

After finishing speaking, Nan Surou got up and walked to the main hall, and called Du Juan over. She was going to Kangcheng Garden to pay her respects to Mrs. Wei Guo.

Although Yun Rong knew very well how powerful her master was, she couldn't help feeling anxious when she saw Nan Surou's leaving back.

Because the weather was still early, the road was unimpeded.

Due to various reasons, the children of Wei Guogong's mansion were very afraid of Nan Surou, so naturally they didn't come out to add trouble to her.

The reason why Nan Surou chose this time to pay her respects.

It is because she understands that this period is the busiest time for Mrs. Wei Guo.

Nan Surou knew very well that Mrs. Wei Guo was extremely stingy.

In order to save money, Mrs. Wei Guo must personally check all the ingredients in the mansion and the two restaurants outside the mansion every morning, for fear that the slaves who purchase them will be greedy for money.

At this time, Mrs. Wei Guo should already be checking the bill with the steward of the kitchen.

Kangcheng Garden in the morning light is a busy scene.

Nan Surou took Du Juan all the way there, and saw that the servants coming and going were orderly, and all of them put on bright new clothes, which looked a little festive.

Arriving at the gate of Kangcheng Garden, seeing Nanny Fen who was also busy, Nan Surou smiled and went up to say hello: "Hello, Sister Fen."

Mother Fen was so busy that she didn't touch the ground. When she saw Nan Surou, she smiled and greeted her, "So it's the cousin girl. She came here so early today, but she's in good health? Ma'am is inside. The servant will help you to report, please wait a moment."

Nan Surou nodded, and waited for Nanny Fen to give a routine report, then asked Du Juan to wait outside, and went into the main hall of Kangcheng Garden by herself.

Mrs. Wei Guo was checking the menu of today's big banquet with the boss of the kitchen. She was originally very serious, but when she saw Nan Surou, she seemed to change her face and put on a smile, "Cousin, you are here, you are in good health gone?"

Nan Surou nodded with a smile, and responded respectfully: "Thanks to my cousin's blessing, Surou is already in good health."

"Really?" Mrs. Wei Guo laughed, holding a red booklet in her hand, and beckoned to Nan Surou, "Cousin, come here and have a look, this is today's menu."

Nan Surou walked over slowly, took the menu with a smile, and took a closer look: abalone stewed with wild mushrooms, tooth picker's wings in thick soup, blood swallow stewed in rock sugar, chicken bone grass keel soup, braised squab, brine platter, stone Pot stuffed tofu, spicy skewered shrimp, steamed grouper, pork belly in scallion oil, red kidney beans in abalone sauce, beef tenderloin with tea tree mushroom, celery and lily fungus, double mustard balls in pot, vegetable in soup, potato in vinegar silk, golden pancake...

You can take another look at another piece of paper with the ingredients: flower sausage, raw sausage, reed chicken, baby abalone, nine-section shrimp...

After reading it, Nan Surou just felt strange, what is the list of ingredients...

Before Nan Surou could ask, Mrs. Wei Guo looked at her puzzled face and said solemnly: "Have you seen that? If I hadn't been vigilant, what would this banquet be like today? I don’t know what kind of ingredients are not good for them to cook, make flower sausages, raw sausages, can this kind of thing be on the table? It’s hard to wash, and it’s hard to make it delicious.”

Listening to Mrs. Wei Guo's diligently teaching tone and those somewhat wordy words.

Nan Surou immediately understood Mrs. Wei's intentions.

Mrs. Wei Guo couldn't bribe Nan Surou, and she couldn't decide what she wanted, so she wanted to use "learning to be a housekeeper and director", an opportunity that almost all girls dream of, to win over Nan Surou.

Nan Surou pretended not to understand, and asked in confusion: "Then the matter of ingredients has been resolved now?"

"Your cousin, I went shopping in person today. I didn't even look at the ingredients list they gave me. I'm teaching the servants a lesson now." Mrs. Wei was proud, squinting at the cook standing beside her with bowed head: "Do you understand? Finish the dishes with the menu. Today is a distinguished guest in the mansion. If the dishes are not well done, please come and see me."

Nan Surou has been listening quietly, why does this scene feel so familiar to her.

In the previous life, in order to show the importance she attached to Nan Surou, Mrs. Wei Guo often used this method to instruct her to manage the housekeeping and even manage the business.

But Nan Surou didn't want to repeat the same mistakes at all.

Moreover, she has learned what she should learn, and what she should not learn.

Coupled with the enmity in the past and the present life, as well as the grievances in this life, Nan Surou does not want to be deceived and used by Mrs. Wei again.

The cook obediently took the menu, and just walked out.

After Mrs. Wei drove the cook away with such a stern voice, she took Nan Surou's hand.

"Cousin, you used to be in Luming, and your family had a simple population. Your parents loved you so much, surely they didn't let you learn how to be a housekeeper? If you follow me, I will teach you by precept and example."

Mrs. Wei Guo was extremely kind when she said this.

But no matter how kind her face was, Nan Surou felt extremely disgusted in her heart.

Mrs. Wei Guo's previous bribery failed, so she changed to this method.

Nan Surou had to admire that Mrs. Wei really knew people's hearts well.

After all, if a woman from a small family wants to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, she naturally has to learn some tricks.

Moreover, the methods of these housekeepers and directors have to be learned from high-ranking families, so that they can see the level of eyebrows, and they will not be ignorant and petty.

But this time, Mrs. Wei Guo still made a wrong calculation, and Nan Surou didn't accept this.

Nan Surou didn't show her face, and chuckled lightly: "Thank you, cousin, but Surou's ambition is not high, she just wants to marry an ordinary person. I hope that her husband's family will also have a simple population in the future, so don't worry about it too much. Surou thinks she is not as good as her cousin." Talented, can't do so well."

Nan Surou shied away, and then flattered loudly.

Mrs. Wei Guo wanted to refute, but it was difficult to refute.

Mrs. Wei Guo laughed, and pulled Nan Surou to sit down at the breakfast table: "Cousin, you haven't had breakfast yet, I just had someone bring it in, let's have breakfast together. "

"Yes." Nan Surou did not shirk, and sat down with Mrs. Wei Guo.

As usual, Nan Surou picked up the chopsticks, put the food in her bowl, and before she could speak, Mrs. Wei Guo glanced at her, and said: "Cousin, you are still young, there are some things that are wrong. I understand, my cousin still has to remind you."

Nan Surou blinked at Mrs. Wei Guo with a pair of cat eyes, and responded: "What is the cousin talking about? Let's listen to it."

Mrs. Wei Guo served herself a bowl of porridge, and said with some emotion: "Cousin, this woman must hold money and power in her hands, so that she will have status in the family."
