Xiao Zhen still didn't quite understand He Hua's decision. He pouted and asked, "Grandma, don't people always say, "If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it's better to go home to Lou Hongshu." Our father is now the magistrate of the county. He is in charge of everything, so he can't control it even if those people bully the people?" Hehuā was not in a hurry after hearing this, and first ordered people to take things to chase Sister-in-law Wang. The soldiers were waiting hard to sell them for money. It would be unreasonable to stay alive. Then he turned back to Xiaozhen and said: "Do you think being an official is just like managing your servants at home? Just shoot someone out if they don't do well? If it is that simple, how can it be? Not everyone can become an official, why do you need to study hard in the cold window, or take the scientific examination?" "Then" Xiao Zhen felt that what He Hua said made sense, but she still couldn't get over it at this time.
Chapter 361 Preparing a Banquet "Then have you ever heard of another saying, called "If you force yourself away, you won't suppress the local snake?" Seeing the confused look on her face, Hehuā added, "We are new here. Even when you go out to buy groceries, you don't understand what they are saying. You don't know what kind of groceries you are buying. This is my first time here, right?" The people here are all those who work as official errands. Isn’t it more difficult than us to do so? Especially the police officers, most of whom are local people. Their relationships with relatives and friends are intricate. If I punish them as soon as they come up, then what will happen in the future? How to run an errand? "
Xiaozhen felt convinced after hearing this, nodded and said: "I understand, slave."
Then he asked, "At noon, the wives of each family will come to the banquet. Grandma, where would you like to put it?" The girls and women followed, and the little play was set up in the courtyard. They were asked to put all their things in the west wing. They made faces there and changed their clothes, and sent people to watch them. They were not allowed to walk around, let alone go to the back. Called Zi Su and Ziyuan will also follow you to do some work, run errands and so on. Even if you are young, you have to start practicing, but don’t let them go in front of the guests, so as not to break the rules." Hehuā said and took out the menu he had prepared before. , I plan to think about it again in Chapter 361: Preparing the Banquet. "Be sure to be careful with the dishes. They are all in sets. If you smash them, you are not stubborn. Go down and prepare. Call the Ma Yong family to come in." No. After a while, Ma Yong's family came in and said, "Grandma, you are looking for a slave."
"Have all the cooks invited to help arrived?" Hehuā asked.
"They are all here. Grandma, don't worry. They are all recommended by Liu Ma. I don't know how good the craftsmanship is, but they are all honest and clean." Ma Yong's family said hurriedly, "Now we are gathering the ingredients in the kitchen and preparing I’ll be cooking later!”
"Well, these are all things that need to be eaten. You have to keep an eye on them, and you must not make any mistakes." He Huā lowered his head and looked at the menu. "Are these dishes okay?" "We discussed this with Mother Liu. It's in line with the rules and delicious, so grandma doesn't have to worry." Ma Yong's family took care of things not long after they arrived. I was actually a little nervous, but the kitchen was a busy job and I didn't always have to set rules in front of the master. She was determined to keep this job.
In fact, she could also tell that Hehuā was not at ease with her, but this was also human nature. After all, they were new contacts and could not become one of hers all of a sudden, so her job this time was even more perfect. Shangxin, as long as it can be done well, Hehuā will feel more at ease with herself.
So after coming out of the lotus house, she went to the kitchen and repeatedly told her to check the ingredients of each dish herself, and then said: "You all must work with great energy. Grandma has already said that if we cook today If you do well, you will be rewarded. If something happens at home, I might call you. Don’t cut off future contacts just because of your cheating this time. It’s you who will suffer.”
Several of the invited cooks rushed to respond, all talking: "This is the magistrate's family matter, how dare you guys be so careless."
"That's right, you absolutely don't dare to do it. You will definitely serve well."
"Okay, let's go get things done. Grandma may come to the kitchen to check in person later, but be alert." After that, the Ma Yong family turned around and went out.
A cook who had a good relationship with Liu's mother said upon seeing this: "She has treated herself like a big boss just now. She is really shameless. She doesn't know what she will do, so she is dictating to us."
"You don't care what she does. She is the master's domestic servant. This is the greatest strength. Even if she can't cook a single dish, she still holds the key to the kitchen.
"Another younger and fairer woman curled her lips and said, and the others agreed more and more.
Seeing a few people chatting non-stop, Mother Liu quickly stopped her and said, "Work more and talk less! My husband and grandma are both very nice people. If you were lucky enough to see them, you would know that the Ma Yong family is my son." I'm a slave, so how can I be so negligent? I'm just a wife in charge, so it's only proper for us to do our part well."
Miao'er, who was outside the window, listened to these words attentively. She felt in her heart that Mother Liu was indeed a mature and reliable person, and Mr. Sun had hired the wrong person, so she deliberately walked over slowly. As expected, everyone became quiet.
Mother Liu greeted with a smile first! "Miss Miao'er is here, but what are your orders from grandma?"
"Master got up, grandma asked me to come over to get breakfast." Miao'er took out the porridge jar that was still warm in the pot and put it in the food box, and put in a few dishes of side dishes soaked in the well water one by one. After taking a few more mooncakes, I picked up the food box and left.
When he returned to the house, Qi Jintang had already gotten up and changed his clothes. He was sitting on the couch and talking to He Hua without knowing what to say. Miao'er walked slowly at the entrance of the stairs, and then asked: "Grandma, please give me breakfast." Where to put it?”
"Bring it in, just put it on the kang table and eat." Hehuā said, putting the things on the kang table aside and letting Miao'er lay out breakfast. While helping Qi Jintang lay the dishes, he continued to ask, "Nama County Prime Minister , Mr. Wang, Liu Tuiguan, and Zeng Dianshi. What kind of people are they? What are the connections between them?"
"Why do you think of asking this?" Qi Jintang ate the lotus root paste. Porridge said, "This lotus root is a good thing. It can be used all over the body and tastes good. It's a pity that we don't have it in the north." "If you want to grow lotus roots, you can probably grow them, but I don't know if they can bloom and form lotus pods!" Hehuā responded casually, "I'm not here to receive the ladies from those families. I'm worrying about how to arrange it. I don't know the origins and relationships of each of them, so I'm asking you. I have a good idea." "Actually, I have only been here a few days and I don't see much clearly. I only know that the Magistrate of Nama County, Chief Wang and Liu Tuiguan are all from the south. Only Zeng Dianshi came from the north, and he usually suffers from others." But the other three people don't seem to have a very harmonious relationship. I'm afraid there are conflicts behind the scenes. I heard people say that Liu Tuiguan is actually a real person. He is a good judge in solving cases. He was in the provincial government. He has done some things, but somehow ended up in this small place, so he is always a bit arrogant and unsociable." "But when we came here the first day, that person we saw drinking on the porch?" He Huā recalled and asked, "It seems different from others." "Yes, that's the one." Qi Jintang said with a smile, "I don't know what his wife is like, but I really want to win over him. No matter what his temperament is, at least He has real skills." "Then I'll try to get close to his wife more often. I hope we can all be more harmonious, and I'll always be able to help you." Hehuā asked Qi Jintang about the government office in front of him, and found him. She took out her clothes and asked him to change and go to work in the front. She went to the kitchen to see how the banquet was being prepared. Looking at the dishes that had been unpacked and washed aside, she suddenly said: "Go and put the big table in the hall." Withdrew, six small tables are set up in a semi-arc shape, and the meals are served separately, so that it is convenient for watching the show." He then asked the cook, "Put the dishes into six portions, and put the soup in separate jars with lids. The movements are all Hurry up but don't panic, it won't be easy if you break the plate."
This way, Ding ordered, someone from the front sent a message: "Grandma, a very proud man has entered the street gate, I'm afraid he will be here soon."
Hehuā took out his watch and looked at the time. It was still half an hour before the time on his post. This person came a little early. He sent Miao'er out to greet him, then went back to his room and quickly changed his coat. His hair was already early. It's all sorted, now I just need to add some insertions and wear it, and then go to the entrance of the living room to meet her.
The first one to come was Zeng Dianshi's wife. Her clothes were brighter than last time. She was wearing a bright purple Confucian skirt with a lotus-colored blouse on top. She had more headbands than a lotus flower. As soon as he walked in, he smiled very politely and said politely: "Mrs. Qi, Lou came a little early and wanted to see if there is anything I can do to help you!" "Mrs. Zeng is so polite. I will post a message for you today. You are all guests, so there is no reason to ask guests to help you in turn." Hehuā welcomed her in, and since no one else had arrived yet, he did not invite her to sit down at the table, so the two of them went to the side hall to sit and talk.
"I can't help you at all, but since we met and got to know each other first, I can introduce them to Madam when someone comes later, so as not to be embarrassed if we don't know each other."
What Mrs. Zeng said made sense, and Hehuā smiled gratefully at her after hearing this: "After all, it is my sister who is thoughtful. If there is anything I don't understand, I hope that my sister will give me more advice." I.
"But I don't dare. It's a huge honor for you to invite us. We are all sisters. From now on, if we are joking and having fun together and talking about the rules, it will be ignored." Mrs. Zeng obviously stopped trying to win over her last time and just said They exchanged some ordinary polite words, and the two of them drank tea while waiting for several other people to attend the banquet. ! ! !
