Huang Xiaohu was excited: his master is actually a scholar! Still a student at Rongxuan Academy! ! If he becomes a book boy for the little master, will he be able to attend Rongxuan Academy? Rongxuan Academy is a place that students all over the world yearn for. He didn't expect him to have such a great honor to attend a class in Rongxuan Academy!
Suddenly, his eyes dimmed again: So what if he could attend Rongxuan Academy? He has already sold himself into slavery, so he will never even think about gaining fame in this life.
Yu Xiaocao seemed to have read his mind, and said softly: "You guys do a good job! If Xiaohu intends to take the imperial examination in the future, I will find a way to restore him to good status!"
The four members of the Huang family are not stupid, and the miss's intention is obvious. If they can satisfy the miss, the miss will never treat them badly. Huang Dachui glanced at the ten cauldrons of stewed meat in the backyard. Although Yu Ji's stewed vegetables shop had only opened for three months, even he had heard how delicious Yu Ji's stewed vegetables were.
The most important thing to make stewed vegetables is the secret recipe. Since they were bought here, they must have access to the secret recipe of stewed meat. In this way, the master's chance of letting them go to good health is slim. However, the youngest son who studied with the master's family can still enter Rongxuan Academy to study. If they can be appreciated by the master's family, the best result is that the youngest son can recover his good status and continue his dream of studying.
They were bought back by the county prince beating someone in the magistrate, that is to say, behind this store, there are the magistrate and the county prince backing them! Miss looks like she is only in her teens. Her younger brother was able to pass the scholar examination at a young age, and he studied in Rongxuan Academy, where he has won several champions and second places. His future achievements are limitless. As long as they stick to their duties and are loyal, and the younger son is a little bit more competitive, can his future be worse
Huang Dachui was honest but not dull, and his heart was agitated. He took a deep breath and expressed his determination: "Miss, don't worry, we will definitely live up to your trust and love!!"
Yu Xiaocao saw the expressions of each of them and was very satisfied with their reactions. She smiled slightly and said: "Your family lives in the back room at the back. The back room is separated in the middle, and the west side is the place for processing raw materials and the warehouse. You can choose one of the three rooms in the east to live in. Right! By the way, you haven't eaten lunch yet, put down your things and come over to eat first!"
Huang Dachui led his mother-in-law and children through a small door on the east side, and came to the back room. He chose the easternmost room, and put the few changes of clothes he brought on the kang inside the room. The room is very simple, only a Kang, a wooden table and two small round stools. There is a wooden box at the end of the kang, which is empty and should be used for storing clothes.
Seeing his wife's and children's slightly cautious expressions, Huang Dahui felt a little shivering in his heart. He felt that it was necessary to remind his wife and children: "From now on, we will be the servants of the master's family. We must abide by our duties in what we say and do. Give birth to other thoughts, and honestly do well what the master told me! I'm definitely not used to it at first, but remember one thing, do more and talk less, and know it well!"
Sledgehammer's daughter-in-law nodded honestly. Huang Xiaomei showed a smile on her face, and said a little excitedly: "Father, I understand everything you said! The lady also said that as long as we work hard and satisfy the master, the younger brother can continue to study, and maybe he will be able to come back with a test in the future Guangzong Yaozu!! Dad, don't worry! I won't hold back my little brother!"
Huang Xiaohu's eyes were full of tears, he sniffed, and said: "Father, actually...it doesn't matter whether I study or not, you have to do what you can. My son doesn't want you to be too tired and too hard for me!"
Huang Dahammer walked over, patted his son on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Miss just now assigned us a task, which is much easier than doing hard work in the town. Don't worry, the master doesn't seem to be harsh on the servants." , our family is quite lucky! You, just relax and serve the young master well!! Let's go, don't let the master wait for us!"
When they came back to the backyard, a pot of stewed pork just came out. The strong smell of meat kept drilling into their noses, and even Huang Dahui, who had good self-control, couldn't help swallowing secretly. It's so fragrant, the rumors are really good!
Seeing Yu Caifeng leaving the kitchen with a pot of steaming braised pork, Huang Xiaomei hurriedly stepped forward to help. The two carried a large pot of stewed meat to the front shop. Yu Xiaocao, who came out of the kitchen with the food, nodded secretly when she saw this scene.
"Let's eat! It's time, and there are no dishes, so I just took some from the store, and you can eat as soon as you can!" There are two dishes, one is stewed dried tofu and seaweed, and the other is sliced pig's head pig Assortment of water, steamed buns are mixed with corn and white flour, one is as big as a grown man's fist, there are a dozen of them.
Huang Dachui hurriedly took the dish in her hand, and said with a little panic: "How can I ask Miss to help us serve the dish? Just give me an order and let Mei Ziniang go!!"
"That's right, that's right! I'll just come!!" Mei Ziniang hurriedly responded.
Yu Xiaocao nodded at her, showing a reassuring smile: "There is still a plate of cut vegetables in the kitchen, and the steamed buns are in the basket, let's bring them out as well! The pots are not idle, so there is no soup. I'm wronging you to drink some boiled water to deal with it!"
"It's already very good, very good!" Mei Ziniang went in for a while, and only brought out a basket containing steamed buns, but she didn't dare to move the plate of chopped vegetables. In her opinion, such a fragrant stewed meat is not something people like them can eat. If you serve the wrong dish from the host's house, wouldn't you be discrediting your son
"Isn't there another dish? Why didn't you bring it out?" Yu Xiaocao asked casually.
Mei Ziniang opened her eyes wide, with an incredulous expression: "Then... that plate of meat... is for us to eat?"
Yu Xiaocao nodded, and said to Xiaohu: "Yes! Xiaohu, go and bring the food!"
A plate full of stewed vegetables exuding an attractive aroma was brought up and placed on the stone table in the courtyard. The four members of the Huang family felt that their saliva secretion speeded up, and they couldn't swallow it all.
Huang Dachui rubbed his hands, and said embarrassedly: "This dish costs a lot of money, and it would be too wasteful for us to eat it. Miss, we can just eat this dish of vegetarian dishes, and we should keep this dish of meat for money?"
"Everything is cut up, how can you sell it? Today's dish is a welcome dish for you. Eat it quickly, there is still work for you to do later!"
Huang Xiaomei knew at a glance that she had a sharp personality. Hearing this, she hurriedly took a steamed bun for her parents and younger brother, and put some meat for them, and said: "Miss, this steamed bun is really pretty, golden and yellow, and it also smells good." It has a faint fragrance. Look, it doesn't look like it's made of bean flour?"
Yu Xiaocao smiled and said, "It's made by mixing cornmeal and white flour!"
"Cornmeal?" Huang Xiaomei broke open the steamed bun, sniffed it lightly, her face was full of doubts.
"Well, King Yang Jun of the imperial court brought back corn seeds from the West. Our family planted a few acres and the harvest was good. Except for the seeds handed over to the imperial court, there were still a lot left, so we ground them into flour and made steamed buns to cook porridge. It tastes good. Eat it, I'll go to the pickle shop." Yu Xiaocao knew that she would be restrained by her family, so she found an excuse to leave.
When Yu Xiaocao's figure disappeared into the backyard, Huang Xiaomei looked excited, ahhh, she took a big bite towards the steamed bun, chewed it carefully, and said impatiently before she swallowed it: "It's delicious, better than ours." The white flour steamed buns made at home during Chinese New Year are still delicious! Father, mother, please try it!"
Huang Xiaohu looked left and right while holding the steamed buns, and said to himself, "Corn? The host is really generous to use such a precious thing to make steamed buns!"
Huang Dachui thought for a while, and said, "These must be the food the masters eat. We came a little suddenly, and we don't have time to prepare."
Mei Ziniang said politely: "Father, is it appropriate for us to eat the master's food?"
Huang Xiaomei took a piece of braised pork belly and put it in her mouth, it was so delicious that she almost cried. Swallowing the food in her mouth, she smiled and said: "What's not appropriate? This is given to us by the young lady! I heard that in a big family, the leftover food from the master will be rewarded to those honorable maids Damn it. Xiaohu, try this, it's soft and rotten, and it smells so good!"
Hearing what my daughter said, Huang Dahammer also let go, and he took a piece of fat pork head and put it in his mouth. My daughter was right, it was so delicious! No wonder Yuji's business is so good! !
"Father, Miss is really generous. Such a plate of stewed meat can be sold for a lot of money, and she actually gave it to us to eat! It seems that our worries are unnecessary, and the master is fine!" My heart was gathered together, and I decided to work for the master's house wholeheartedly!
Mei Ziniang ate a few pieces of stewed vegetables, put another piece of stewed tofu in her mouth, tasted it carefully, sighed slightly, and said, "This meal is even better than what we ate during the Chinese New Year! There are vegetables With meat, even the staple food is fine grains. Will it be a blessing?"
Yu Caifeng came out of the kitchen, heard Mei Ziniang's words, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said! Don't worry, as long as you work hard, life will get better and better!"
Just now the lady of the main family has introduced that this woman wearing a strange blouse is an aunt. All the delicious stewed pork in Yu Ji's hand came from this aunt.
Standing up and saying hello to my aunt, seeing her go to the front yard, Huang Dachui said to his mother-in-law: "Follow my aunt from now on, you have to be more diligent, and rush to do the dirty work. When my aunt is stewing the meat, she won't tell you to go in. Don't go to the kitchen! The recipe for stewed meat is a big taboo, don't even mention it, let alone have the idea of stealing the teacher. Did you hear that?"
Mei Ziniang saw her man's serious face and serious tone, she quickly nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, I won't ask or say a word about Fangzi!"
Just after dinner, Mei Ziniang cleaned the dishes and brought them into the kitchen. There was a commotion at the corner gate next to it, and Liu Hu and his son came in carrying the slaughtered pigs.
