The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 276
At this time, Meng Zhaojun was thinking again, no wonder those who like to stand on a high place and look at the crowd below are like those who are high and powerful, and the richest look at the common people.

The sense of pride in the heart, the wealth of birth, and the nobility shown by the status, some people dare not even think about it, but some people can get it with a raise of their hands.

Meng Zhaojun stood quietly beside Tang Shunyan, thinking silently that she would have to work harder in her future life, and there would be more opportunities in a place like the capital.

"Tang Shunyan, will you study at the Capital Academy in the future?"

Tang Shunyan didn't turn his head to look at Meng Zhaojun, but thought from her words, would he go to the Capital Academy to study when he grows up?

Just like my father, he will also spend a few years studying in the capital, and when he has time, he will go to the capital to manage his own family's property.

According to the training given to the heirs and young men by their Tang family, they will also study while studying business, so that they must be educated and business-minded.

"Yes, exactly when, I don't know yet!"

At this time, Meng Zhaojun had an idea in his mind again. If Tang Shunyan could go to the capital to study one day, then they would have more chances to meet in the capital.

Not to mention that this place is not far from the capital, you can come here many times a year. Although the distance is not far, there may be bandits in many places you pass by. Even if you have guards, you will be in danger.

She can't help herself, she knows that at this age, she is under the control of her parents and cannot go to far places, and even if she is older, she can't go to far places. In this ancient times, men and women are always unequal.

Men can say that reading thousands of books is not as good as walking thousands of miles. They can read and walk.

But the woman has been staying in the boudoir of the deep palace unfairly, and may only walk around some nearby places.

If it is said that they come to this place every year to play, it is better to wait for Tang Shunyan to come to the academy to study in a certain year, when they are closer, they can make an appointment to play.

Meng Zhaojun has not been to many places in Kyoto, and in the past few years, he just went back to his grandfather's house with his mother once a year. It was on the grandfather's birthday, but he couldn't move around during the Spring Festival.

It's not that the Spring Festival is the best holiday for visiting relatives, because they can only let the servants give gifts, and they can't go in person when they are good.

It was because my father was going to be in the county, and my mother was reluctant to leave my father and took their siblings to my grandfather's house.

Everyone has the experience of being in it and not being free.

The dishes came out quickly, as Xiaoer said just now, they were divided into two tables, and the portion of each dish was not much less. This may be for the sake of the owner, whether it will be wasted or not Shabby!

Meng Zhaojun and Tang Shunyan sat back on the stools in the table respectively, and the maids beside them did not eat at their master's house, so they also ate.

As usual, they will be given cloth dishes, but the two of them will take turns to eat.

The masters of two different mansions have a maid serving them dishes, soup and rice.

Meng Zhaojun eats delicious seafood. I don't know what kind of fish it is. It tastes delicious and not fishy. The most important thing is that it can be tender and smooth without thorns.

There is another kind of seafood like sea cucumber. This is the first time she has eaten it. There is also a plate of lobster. The lobster in the coastal area of ​​Nanyue country or the self-raised lobster is very large. Every time someone chooses seafood, they will order lobster. There are many ways to cook lobster.

It depends on the taste of the guests, how to choose seafood.

The soup was actually white pigeon soup, with some soup ingredients in it, not only white pigeons, but also pig bones, and the soup on top was very thick.

Only two bowls of soup are poured out of a stew pot. This is what Xiaoer said again. The dishes can be divided into two dishes, and a little more ingredients can be added, so there is more than one cup of soup.

Of course, such benefits are not enjoyed by others, it is entirely due to the boss's treatment.

It was not the first time for Tang Shunyan to eat here, nor was it the first time to eat dishes, nor was it the first time to drink this kind of soup.

He is living a high-quality life, and he only feels that this kind of taste is just very common, similar to the craftsmanship of a chef at home.

Those who can be chefs in their Tang family have to choose chefs with good skills, so they can go in and do it.

Tang Shunyan didn't know how many chefs there were in the kitchen. For a big family like theirs, with such a large population, in addition to the master's meals, there would also be workers' meals.

However, there are big kitchens and small kitchens here. The big kitchen cooks the workers' dishes, so you can order whatever you want.

The small kitchen for cooking the master's meals is not the small kitchen in every master's yard, and of course the mother-in-law will also be in charge of the small kitchen in the master's yard.

Tang Shunyan's yard was the same. He would eat three meals a day in his grandmother's yard, except for the occasional supper, and Muxiu's afternoon tea when he was hungry at home.

The five people could only share two sips of the soup at the maid's side, and these two sips of soup made them very satisfied.

The bookboys and maids who are with the master, when have they had such a good soup and such delicious dishes?

People are divided into three or five grades, it doesn't mean that every time you eat in a restaurant, whatever the master can eat, the maids and followers can also have the opportunity to eat so well.

For example, the guards who are following here now, they are not qualified to eat such delicious dishes, such delicious soups, it is possible that there is rice and vegetables in the big bowl of rice they eat.

It is already a very good treatment to be able to eat in the restaurant.

If you change to some followers who are not favored by the master, you may be asked to go outside to buy some dry food, steamed buns, steamed buns and the like.

Chinese food and dinner will be eaten as simple as breakfast. This is the humble civilian life.

Meng Zhaojun didn't eat a bite of the rice served by the maid, but mainly tasted the soup and vegetables.

When she was full, the servant girl poured tea for her and took a few sips before she put down her chopsticks in satisfaction. Her appetite was satisfied today. I don't know if such dishes are available in the capital.

I believe it won't be so cheap if he can eat it, and no one will let him be so tricked when he returns to the capital. Maybe one day he will have a chance when Tang Shunyan comes to the capital.

Meng Zhaojun hasn't gone to the capital yet, she already expected to miss the good time with Tang Shunyan every minute and every second.

Tang Shunyan, as a boy, is not full of food. He is growing up at this time, and he is also a martial arts practitioner.

Although he and Meng Zhaojun are about the same age and only a month or two apart, their heights are different.

As a boy, he is of course half a head taller than Meng Zhaojun, and he always looks down at her every time.

Tang Shunyan thought it would be a waste of food, but he didn't expect that the two of them ate more than the five people next door. Maybe they ate both food and vegetables. Eight dishes and one soup were enough for five people.

Unexpectedly, the two of them can eat the amount of five people. Meng Zhaojun, a little girl, seems to be a foodie too.

Born in a wealthy family, who can enjoy delicious food and treatment at the same time, but also met him who was taken advantage of.

With such a large amount of food, poor people will eat poorly, and the poor will become poorer.

Tang Shunyan put down his chopsticks when he was full, and didn't say much insipid words. Competing with Meng Zhaojun in eloquence would always give way to her, and he was not used to arguing with this girl.

"Tang Shunyan, don't you think it was wasted? You are really worrying. I was scolded by you. I am so innocent!"

Meng Zhaojun began to practice eloquence when he was full.

"Do you want me to apologize to you again?" Tang Shunyan didn't look at Meng Zhaojun when he spoke, but looked out the window.

Tang Shunyan's eyes were already looking out of the window. Before the Spring Festival, there were still people shopping in the afternoon, and there were also peddlers selling things, and the stalls had not yet been closed.

He thought to himself, this is also the purchasing power of people in a county, and hawkers can also make some money during the festival.

Meng Zhaojun saw Tang Shunyan's answer in this way, and saw his eyes looking out of the window.

He was full and didn't want to move, so he said unforgivingly:

"But your employees, if you treat the diners like this, don't you make more money if they order more dishes? Why do you want to protect him instead? I hate you scolding me in front of others!"

"He's right, there's nothing wasted, and there's nothing wrong, but it's not the money you gave, so of course you don't feel sorry for it!"

"Be careful, isn't it just a meal for you? I won't let you treat me to dinner here, but I will also eat it at your home. Could it be that your family will treat me badly again?"

Meng Zhaojun actually wanted them to make a small hot pot when ordering food, but few people here eat hot pot.

Maybe the people here only eat a little spicy food, and some people can't eat spicy food at all. In such a big restaurant, Xiaoer actually didn't introduce her to hot pot in winter.

Meng Zhaojun was thinking again, if she went to Kyoto to grow up, could she use hot pot to start her own business?

In fact, fast food is also very good, suitable for those people, but it is not suitable for the master who travels from rich and noble families, and the entourage is not too bad.

Tang Shunyan saw some people on the street who only bought some steamed stuffed buns to fill their stomachs, and they were eating and drinking. This is not a different comparison.

Steamed buns with a few copper coins, and dozens of taels for a meal, they may eat up other people's family's spending for a year with one meal.

Tang Shunyan heard that houses built by people in the country, not to mention those thatched houses, are even less valuable. A few dozen rooms can be built in a few dozen green brick houses.

But he didn't worry about it, maybe after this meal, Meng Zhaojun traveled far away, and there was no possibility of eating together again.

How did Tang Shunyan think, the girl in front of him had already thought that one day he would go to the academy in Jincheng to study, and went back to look for him.

……

Ye Shiqi seldom goes out in the cold winter, and there is a carbon basin in the room. As the weather gets colder and colder, she always feels afraid of the cold.

The clothes prepared for her by the family are a bit thick, so it won't be too cold in the room.

Before the Spring Festival, the weather has already reached four or five degrees. Of course, it will not be as snowy as in the north and the weather is below zero.

Ye Shiqi also went out to the manor due to the cold weather today, mainly to watch the planted and cultivated medicinal herb Niu Dali.

This is a kind of medicinal material that is suitable for planting in dry land and is more suitable for planting in the south. Some functions of the medicinal material can be used to make soup.

The reason why Ye Shiqi went to the manor to look at the medicinal materials was told by his mother. His uncle and mother said that the newly cultivated medicinal materials lost their leaves a little in the freezing weather.

Mrs. Li has been less likely to go to the manor in winter. If there is anything, the younger brother who is in charge will tell her.

You can also ask the employees who go to the manor to pick vegetables every morning to convey information to her.

Mrs. Li can't stay idle at home. In winter, he needs to make socks for children and adults, purses and handkerchiefs for the New Year.

Some can also be bought, such as ready-made clothes, and the workers at home help make only small things.

A lot of money is made, and red envelopes need to be given out to people during the Chinese New Year.

Ye Shiqi specially placed a quilt on the well-built ox cart at home in winter, and even put a quilt for her. The wind blowing in when the cart was moving was still biting.

She was not alone in going to the manor this time, besides the ox cart driver, there were also her four older sisters.

As the Spring Festival approached, Mr. Chen had given him a holiday, and Mr. Mo even had an early holiday.

When the two gentlemen are on vacation, the Ye family will give them annual gifts.

The gifts that Mr. Chen received include bacon, duck, chicken, and eggs. You feel full of joy, and you will go back to celebrate the New Year with a full load of gifts.

Mr. Mo will also have the same gift when he goes back. In winter, he comes less often, mainly because he has to spend time with his pregnant wife.

Mrs. Mo was already pregnant at this time, but the morning sickness was no longer serious, she ate delicious food, was in a good environment, reduced the number of classes she attended, had a ruddy complexion, and spent her free time doing things for children , and the maids around him help.

Waiting with anticipation for the arrival of the little life.

Ye Shiqi was with her four older sisters. When she came to the manor, she saw that the manor was also lush and green in winter.

Vegetables were planted in the place where rice was harvested before. After one or two months, the harvest is already in progress. Some Chinese cabbage, daikon, carrot, and various vegetables that happened to be produced a year ago.

When Ye Shiqi got out of the carriage, she looked curiously at the manor next door, only to see that the manor next door also grows vegetables, of course not as rich in various crops as their manor.

Ye Shiqi had heard it the day before, when her mother and father were chatting, that the manor next door was going to be sold. This news was heard from her uncle, and of course it was the owner of the manor next door who sent the message.

The selling price of the manor next door is not very high, it is only a little more expensive than the land and mountains they bought before, just because they built a house in the manor.

Including the cost of building the house, the Meng family released the news, of course they wanted someone to buy the manor, the sooner the better, because they were waiting to get the money back to Beijing.

If you can't sell it for a while, you can only let an agent sell it.

Butler Meng was the first person to find my uncle. He didn't ask him to buy the manor, but just asked him to help release the news.

Of course, the news that their family's manor had been released in the county, for a while, people looked at the elevated road and didn't want to buy it.

Some people even sent people to watch their manor. The house was built well, but the land bought at a high price was not worthwhile, because the crops they planted here were not very productive.

The mountain I bought has not yet been developed, so I don’t know if there is any chance of returning the money invested. People who do business don’t want to waste their money.

If it is said to buy some land to grow crops, why did they buy these lands that are not high-quality and expensive!
