The bought lady will farm

Chapter 24 Respond calmly
Seeing that his son was eating very vigorously, Qian Datong was relieved, but also a little curious about the food this woman made.

Looking at the dishes in front of me, they are not much different from the usual ones, are they?Why are these guys who are famous for their picky mouths all interested?Could it be that there is a potion in this dish!

Thinking of this, Qian Datong himself was amused by the idea.

Grab the chopsticks, and gently and slowly squeeze the chopsticks.

A chopstick of mashed potatoes was delivered to the mouth, a faint scent of bacon, mixed with the special scent of shallots spread in the mouth.

In just an instant, the whole mouth was filled with a special fragrance of potatoes mixed with bacon and shallots, which filled the whole body and mind with this fragrance, as if feeling refreshed all over the body.

"Okay, not bad, this dish will be rewarded for those in charge."

I ate happily and my mood improved a lot.

This reward from him made Guanshi Qian's heart drop.

"Okay, there will be a reward later. Actually, sir, you don't know. When I invited this woman into the mansion earlier, it was agreed that a dish that satisfies the masters will be rewarded with a tael of silver." .”

Hearing what the steward said, Li Hongmei gave him a high look.

Come to think of it, he hadn't had time to discuss with his master about rewarding one tael for a dish.Although as a steward, such a small matter can be the master.

However, whether this matter is big or small, after all, it is still unreasonable to reward so much for a person in charge.Therefore, taking advantage of the master's happiness, I proposed this copy right now... It is obvious that I am asking for credit for myself, so that it will be convenient for me to do things in the future.

It is said that the stewards in ancient times were extremely greedy, but now it seems that this steward is not bad.

"Haha, if a dish is cooked well, you can get a reward of one tael. I counted how many dishes I have today, seven, eight, nine, and there are actually nine dishes. In this way, the little lady's meal today , you can get nine taels of silver!"

Qian Datong smiled and glanced at the woman standing there bent over not far away, he didn't feel it at first, only seeing her as an ordinary woman.

But the more I look at it now, the more I feel that this person is really different from ordinary women in the country.

Looking at her head, it is obvious that she is a village woman from the countryside.

But seeing her confident smile, she was silent and humble, and she didn't have the feeling of being intimidated by a country woman at all.

That kind of self-confidence and calmness exuded from the bottom of his bones, even he, who is used to traveling around, appreciates it now.

"This..." Hearing what the master said, Steward Qian couldn't decide. Does the master think it's too much, or is it too little?For a moment, he also became a little panicked, standing there thinking about how to get over this matter.

"I said Datong, this woman has done a good job, and she should be rewarded. Isn't it just a few taels of silver? Datong, what the hell are you talking about here? If you want me to say, it is appropriate to collect the full ten taels. In the capital Inside, there is only a table of dishes like this, no less than a hundred taels. Putting it here, the reward for this little woman from the material fee is only 20 taels!"

Mr. Du, who was satisfied with the food, gave money to Datong unsatisfactorily.

"That's right, that's right, this competition for rewards is worth the money. Wu, little lady, if you cook well, you can cook with me in the future. I will reward you hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year." It's two coins, and then I can buy flowers and wear them." Gu Tongzhi, who was on the side, also joked at this time.

He casually glanced at Li Hongmei, if it were in the past, he would not have had to deal with this kind of country woman.However, today, this village woman is rare for him to be pleasing to the eye.

Especially when she stood there smiling slightly, her two dimples looked very eye-catching.Even though she was wearing coarse clothes, it still made people look comfortable. I just felt that this person was a happy person who was easy to like.

Qian Datong was a little embarrassed to be teased by several friends of the same knowledge.He tapped his chopsticks lightly on the edge of the table, "Guys, you misunderstood me. I was just joking about this woman. That woman, you can think about it and come to my house as a cook. If it is like today In this way, I always make some satisfying dishes, and the salary of 1000 taels of silver a year is paid by the Lord."

Manager Qian on one side was really terrified when he heard the 1000 taels of wages.

1000 taels, that’s not 100 taels.

Ordinary chefs, like Chef Jin in the mansion now, earn a salary of just over 200 taels a year plus the red seal at the end of the year.

Well now, an ordinary country woman has been targeted at 1000 taels!This woman should be excited to go up the mountain to say yes!

However, what was surprising was that the woman in the mountain just stood there smiling.Being looked at by several masters, he didn't feel shabby, on the contrary, the confident and calm smile on his face made Guanshi Qian slightly surprised.At this time, even he, who is in charge, would panic in the face of so many masters, but this woman, from the beginning to the end, was actually very calm.

In the end... is she from the village, or is he from the village?

For a while, money management was very tangled.

"Little lady, do you think Master's suggestion is good?"

Qian Datong was originally interested in food.But right now, his interest was all on this little woman.

Mr. Du and the others were also attracted by Li Hongmei, and looked at her together.

Li Hongmei clasped her fists at them and smiled slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but the little lady doesn't want to be a slave in the house."

"Why?" Mr. Du asked with great interest.You know, for a salary of 1000 taels, even in the palace of the capital, those big chefs have to go through layers of selection to have such money.

This country woman actually doesn't seem to be tempted at all?Is this fake, or is it too good a disguise!

Even Eryaer Saner, who was standing beside Li Hongmei, was 1000 times shocked and hadn't reacted yet.

After finally recovering her soul, she heard that Li Hongmei was unwilling to enter the mansion.While heaving a sigh of relief, the two little ones rose up at the same time: Look, this is my sister-in-law, and even 1000 taels of silver won't tempt her.

"Why? To be honest, the salary of 1000 taels is indeed touching. Especially for the little woman, the 1000 taels is even more tempting to me.

However, the little woman did not want to lose her freedom in the end because of the 1000 taels of silver. Is 1000 taels a lot?If I do well, I won't earn less than this after a year. "

"What?" Qian Datong asked curiously.Mr. Du and the others also laughed.

They come out to learn and follow the business, casually, and also learn some human customs and other things outside.

Regarding the market, there is also an ordinary villager, a merchant, a big businessman, who actually knows how much silver taels he will earn a year.

Like ordinary rural women, those who plant well and spin better can earn tens of taels of silver a year, which is considered extremely capable.

The income of hundreds of taels can only show that this village woman is a very good and capable person.

This village woman in front of her?
Everyone didn't think that she could earn hundreds of taels of silver a year.

Even the person in charge of money felt that this woman was too confident.At the moment, he couldn't help but hit her. "This woman, you're not in charge, so I'm going to hit you. If you sell your pancake for a few coppers, you can't earn 1000 taels of silver!"

Qian Datong is more interested in Li Hongmei. "Oh, you are the little lady who sells cakes. How much is a cake?"

"Six." Li Hongmei's smile remained unchanged, showing no embarrassment of being exposed.

"Oh, there are only six pancakes. Putting aside your wages and the level of hard work, after a year of hard work, it will cost you at most 300 taels of silver. That's it, you have to maintain the market, and still You have to keep everyone eating without getting tired. Little lady, are you sure that doing your little nutrition is more cost-effective than the 1000 taels of wages in my money house?"

As a businessman, the first thing he thinks of is cost performance.

"I am sure to tell all the officials that I am happy with my current life. I am very poor now and I need money very much. But I will not sell my freedom because of lack of money."

It's still freedom, Qian Datong and the others looked at each other and smiled, thinking that it was a bit funny for a woman from the countryside to talk about freedom.

Mr. Du, who was still a little interested in her, stopped paying attention at this time.

"Eat and eat... Although you woman is not very reliable, but anyway, you can be regarded as a person who can cook. Father, I only want to recruit you because I cherish my talents. , since you don't want to, I didn't say to be a father."

However, when they thought about eating, they were surprised to find that the food in front of them was almost eaten.

Everyone looked suspiciously at the little fat man who was holding a fruit plate and stuffing fruit while filling his stomach with puzzled eyes.

"you……"

Qian Datong caressed his forehead, who said that this kid's appetite has lost?

Grandma, this child actually wiped out all the dishes on the table, the food intake for July and August... all.Looking at his big belly... Qian Datong expressed his sadness. If he continues to force the feeding, how fat will this child be?

Mr. Du and the others wailed: "Brother Qian, that child of yours can eat too much. Xiaopang Qian, you have to lose weight!"

Qian Xiaopang chuckled, and his whole body trembled. "No, you don't need to lose weight, as my father said, the meat of this body...Okay, it's good. Mrs. Wu, you can get some more vegetables...Master, I still want to eat..."

"puff……"

Zhao Erya has long been aware of Qian Xiaopang's eating. Now seeing him talking, his whole body is trembling, and he is still clamoring to eat... It feels more joyful than the Maitreya Buddha in the temple that he has seen before. ah.Unable to hold back for a moment, he just laughed out in front of everyone.

This smile attracted the attention of the masters present.

Especially Mr. Du, when he saw Er Ya's slightly handsome face, his eyes straightened.

"This girl... this girl..."

He pointed at Er Ya'er, as if he had seen a ghost, his surprised look really made people wonder if he had seen Er Ya'er before...
