lady

Chapter 189

Zhou Biyao's vigor on the kang made Mammy Liu feel more fond of her, and her words became more affectionate: "Our place is really small and cramped, please forgive me for my lack of hospitality. Second Miss can drink some tea, Eat some snacks, the tea and snacks at home are passable. Especially dim sum, there is no such thing on the street, and the small food shop is planning to put it on the counter, but now there is none."

Zhou Biyao immediately became interested. She leaned her upper body slightly, looked at the plates of dim sum, and eagerly said, "Did sister make it herself? Mammy, tell me, that's the best?"

Mother Liu smiled and said: "My eldest lady instructed the slaves to make it. The taste is different, and each has its own taste. Second Miss can taste all kinds."

Zhou Biyao smiled and said: "My sister tells me to do it, that's my sister's ability, I have to try it out." As he said, he twisted a small ball-shaped snack, squeezed it between his fingers, looked at it carefully for a moment, and put it in his mouth.

Boudoir women eat very delicately.Zhou Biyao chewed slowly at first, and after biting off, chewed a few more times, and immediately widened her eyes and glanced at Ye Xinyan.Then increase the chewing range.

After Zhou Biyao ate it with blinking eyes, she pulled Ye Xinyan's sleeve across the table, "Sister, you made this? It's delicious. What kind of ingredients did you use to make it so delicious?"

Ye Xinyan retracted her sleeves in time, and said to Zhou Biyao: "Didn't Madam Liu just say that these snacks were made by Madam Liu? The second lady ate cheese balls, which were mixed with my family. dairy products."

Zhou Biyao withdrew his hand that was in vain, and without being discouraged, picked up another shortbread, ate it a few times, smacked his lips lightly, and tasted the desserts on the table one by one.

After tasting them one by one, Zhou Biyao pointed to the sandwich cake and said, "This dessert is the best. Sister, what is this dessert called and what is it made of?"

Ye Xinyan pushed the teacup towards her and said, "This dessert is called sandwich cake. It's cheese sandwiched between slices of cake. Cheese is a new ingredient made from milk."

Zhou Biyao took a sip of tea and said, "I know this, it's the same as the cream used in the cream cake. The shopkeeper of Honghe Tower said that the cream is obtained from milk."

Ye Xinyan looked at Zhou Biyao, didn't answer her, and went straight to the point: "Miss Tuesday is a noble person, condescending to come to our country place, I think it's something to do. To tell you the truth, the little lady is very busy now. , Many things are pressed together, and they are all urgent. Second Miss, please tell me if you can do it, the little lady will definitely do her best."

Is this being rejected by others?
Zhou Biyao stopped holding the teacup, and did not intend to back down, "What is my sister busy with? If possible, I am willing to help my sister share some of the burden."

She suddenly remembered what she saw when she entered the door just now, and said, "Is it what my sister did just now? If there is something to copy and write, my sister can help my sister do it."

Scribe fart, can that be solved by copying?That is good or bad that needs to be written.

Facing Zhou Biyao like this, Ye Xinyan felt a little helpless, so she had no choice but to say: "It is a workshop that needs to be built to process milk, and it needs to be done in accordance with the construction and regulation procedures. Those are the things that craftsmen do. The second lady is the boudoir of officials. Girl, you can't do that kind of rough people to make a living."

"Ying, create regulations?" Zhou Biyao stumbled a little while speaking, "What is that?"

Ye Xinyan blinked, she is still getting used to these words, okay?
"Building houses, yards, courtyards, temples, and lighthouses all belong to the scope of construction. Construction regulations are the imperial court's regulations on all these earth, stone, brick and wood related businesses." Ye Xinyan explained.

"..." Zhou Biyao didn't understand.

Ye Xinyan smiled and said: "Look, these things are not something that a delicate girl like Miss Tuesday should know. As you, you should just recite poems, draw pictures, and learn to manage housework at home. Create the people who will do these things. , are rough people’s livelihoods, they don’t pay attention to the defense of men and women, and they are not worth the trouble of an official woman like Miss Er.”

"It looks so difficult." She really doesn't understand these things, and it seems that it is really not suitable for her to do.Zhou Biyao was extremely disappointed, "I don't understand, but how did my sister understand those things, that is, the imperial court's regulations on building houses?"

"I, don't I have to help the family make a living." Ye Xinyan herself felt that her explanation was weak, but she couldn't say, my sister, I am a serious student of science and engineering, and I have a solid foundation.

Zhou Biyao is a typical layman, not only doesn't know what to build, but also doesn't understand how far-fetched Ye Xinyan's explanation is.

She pointed to the outside and asked, "What did my sister write on the paper just now? Does it meet the regulations for building a house required by the court? There is also the cattle farm, which is a large and neat shed in the north, which is managed by my sister." Is it on?"

Ye Xinyan looked at Zhou Biyao and frowned.This is getting further and further away. If Zhou Biyao is allowed to ask this question, she won't have to do anything.

Ye Xinyan said helplessly: "Miss Zhou, seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the construction of such a business must be completed before the freezing. The little lady is really busy. If you have something to do, just ask."

If it is more straightforward, it is: you have something to talk about, and you have nothing to leave. I really don't have time to chat with you.

Although Zhou Biyao's psychological quality is strong, but being hit so obviously by Ye Xinyan, the eager exploration on his face has also restrained a lot.

She thought about it, and said simply: "I want to know what my sister will do? Not only can she make money to support the family, but she can also help Sixth Master Rong manage big business that others can't control?"

Master Rong Liu?

"Little woman can manage small businesses," Ye Xinyan said after deliberation, "As for big businesses, the little woman has never managed them, so of course I dare not say she can. It's nonsense. There are so many capable people in this world, as long as they are normal people, no one dares to say such things."

"However, Mr. Rong Liu let his sister take charge of the cattle farm, and he treats her differently."

Ye Xinyan suddenly didn't hate Zhou Biyao much anymore. The little girl who can speak so frankly and clearly must have a different heart from others.It's better than those who fight with each other but bury their thoughts deeply. It makes people feel more comfortable.

"It's not difficult to take charge of the cattle farm. The reason why the little woman is in charge can only be regarded as the right time. At that time and under the circumstances, the little woman was just a good candidate. And the cattle farm also It's not a big deal, it's just a small attempt by Master Rong Liu.

As for looking at it differently, it's even more difficult to say.The little lady works for Master Rong Liu. If she works for Master Rong Liu, she will be angry with anyone. It is Master Rong Liu who loses face, not the little lady.Second miss, don't you think so? "
