Shaoyao looked up at her friend and asked with her eyes, "Is this okay?"
Hua Zhi patted her shoulder soothingly, "Granddaughter will take Shaoyao to look at the prescription first."
"Go ahead and entertain them."
"yes."
Listening to the footsteps going away, the old lady said with emotion, "I don't know what happened in Zhuangzi, but he met such a young female doctor."
Nanny Su handed over the teacup, "When did a female doctor appear in the capital? I have only heard that there are female doctors in the palace, but this is the first time I have seen a female doctor!"
"Since we already have a female teacher, it's not surprising to have a female doctor. It's just a coincidence that it's all related to my family." Although she was a little worried, the old lady couldn't suppress her pride. A female teacher, and a doctor recognized by Mr. Mu, is something that ordinary people can do
"Do you think there is any truth in what she said?"
"Of course it's true. This girl came from outside and she doesn't have time to collude with the older girl."
"Did you think I didn't see their little tricks?" The old lady smiled and glanced at the old servant, making him lower his head. "Those words must be true, but they were not told in full. Zhi'er was not afraid of me knowing, she was afraid that other people in the family would know, so she was on guard against them!"
"Big girl can do it."
"Yes, you are capable." It is because she is capable that she has to shoulder such a big responsibility. Those incapable people are not grateful under her protection. They do not think about how to help, but calculate what they have missed.
A person may not be content, but he must know what is good for him.
On the way back to her own yard, Hua Zhi looked at Shaoyao. Seeing that she looked at the deep courtyard without any expression, she knew that what she saw normally would not be worse than the Hua family. To be honest, she was curious about the man in her heart, but this curiosity was not strong enough to make her want to find out the truth.
Curiosity kills the cat is more than just a proverb.
"Hua Zhi, what delicious food will Fu Dong make for lunch?"
Hua Zhi laughed, and all her thoughts disappeared. "Knowing that you are coming, she must have cooked a few more dishes. If you are not in a hurry to leave, let her make braised pork elbow in the evening."
"No hurry, no hurry, I won't leave." Shaoyao remembered that she hadn't asked the master yet, so she held Hua Zhi's hand and leaned in front of her, half lowered her body and asked, "Can I stay at your house?"
"Of course, are you done?"
"I'm done with my work. My master has given me a day off." Shaoyao was so happy that she even brought some spare clothes and personal belongings with her.
Fu Dong was really happy to see her, "I will go and prepare a few more dishes that you like, Miss Shaoyao."
Shaoyao swallowed a few times, her eyes sparkling, and she looked like she couldn't wait to follow Fudong into the kitchen, but fortunately, she remembered that good friends were more important.
The group entered the house. Bao Xia bowed with a smile in her eyes. She felt very comfortable when she returned to the young lady. "Everything is fine in the workshop. Just rest assured, young lady. Liu Qi and Liu Jiang are both very attentive. There has been no trouble during this period."
She motioned the maid to bring up the porcelain jar, and she scooped out a bowl of oranges and brought it to the young lady. "These oranges are all made according to your request. The peaches are all done. We have started making oranges since yesterday. This is the finished product. Please try it."
It has something to do with the color of the rock sugar. The crystal clear liquid has a little bit of yellow, with a few orange petals floating in it. A faint fruity aroma wafts over, making people's mouths water.
When stirred with a spoon, the juice is not thin, but a bit thick like paste, but not too thick. Not to mention the taste, it is a success just from the appearance point of view.
Hua Zhi scooped a mouthful into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and nodded slightly, "This is the taste."
Bao Xia was obviously relieved, and smiled, "I made this. I tasted theirs and it tasted the same as mine."
Yingchun tapped her forehead and said, "Are you still showing off? Don't be shy. If the young lady taught you step by step and you still can't do it well, do you still have the nerve to say that you are someone close to the young lady?"
Baoxia stuck out her tongue and dared not speak.
"You did a really good job, so I'll reward you with a new snack made by Fudong himself."
"Fudong has made new snacks again?" Before Baoxia could say anything, Shaoyao interrupted her with sparkling eyes and asked.
"Well, I'm planning to open a food store. Apart from cooking, she has been thinking about this recently. Don't worry, I guarantee you'll have enough to eat."
Peony was so happy that she laughed.
"How many cellars are filled with canned peaches? How many citrus boatloads of that size can be put in there?"
"It was barely enough. After you came back, Wu Da and his men dug out two large cellars. Then, Miss Shaoyao's people came again, so I asked them to send some more ice, and they did. Without these two new cellars, the oranges would not have been able to fit in."
Hua Zhi nodded. Compared to those people who had to ask for permission before doing anything, the maids around her were already very qualified managers. "After we sell this batch of canned food and get the money back, we will renovate the farm and turn it into a real workshop. It's still a bit makeshift now."
"Miss, do you want to do this business for a long time?"
"Why not? We can produce not only peaches and citrus fruits, but also apples, pears, lychees, etc. Even if someone tries to follow suit, the big cake will still be ours. You will all know in the future that this is a profitable business."
"Miss, if you say it makes money, then it definitely does." She hugged Xia Fu and bowed, "I'll go tell Fu Dong. If I don't do enough, I'm afraid that the reward for me will go into Miss Shaoyao's belly."
Shaoyao nodded straightly, "Yes, yes, let Fudong do more. I miss her a lot during this period."
"You're actually thinking about her snacks."
"Of course."
Everyone in the room burst into laughter. Yingchun heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the young lady's frown relax a little, and then she led the others out.
"Huahua, you've trained your maid so well. Not only is she a good follower of the rules, but she also has such a spirit and energy. She's totally different from other maids."
Hua Zhi raised an eyebrow, "Hua Hua?"
"Calling me by my name is too unfamiliar. You can also call me Shao Shao, or Yao Yao?"
“… Are there any other options?”
Shaoyao touched her face, "Henhen?"
That's not as good as Shaoshao. Hua Zhi grabbed her hands away from her face and asked, "Did you have a nickname when you were a child?"
"I don't know. I don't remember anything before I was ten. My face looked like this when I woke up. No one at home ever said anything wrong with my face. I didn't know anything at the time and thought a face like this was normal. One time, I sneaked out while my master and his men were out on a mission. I scared a lot of people. They threw stones at me and called me a monster..."
"Stop it, I won't ask you these questions."
PS: Girls, please don’t rush me. I really can’t write fast. I get anxious when you rush me.
