Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 582
The servants all registered the gift list before presenting it to Mrs. Xiao Hou Ye for review.

Mrs. Dingbeihou passed away early, and Dingbeihou doesn't care about things now. The Hou's mansion is basically managed by his son and daughter-in-law.

One person is in charge of the outside, and the other is in charge of the inside, which makes the old Hou Ye much more relaxed.

Mrs. Xiaohou took a look at the gift list, and then saw the gift from Shen Chenlan's family.

Said: "Be careful, let the kitchen prepare early. It just so happens that Xiaojing has not had a good appetite recently, so I will send more to Xiao Shizi later."

"Yes." The maid answered.

……

On the other side, the families of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wen also received gifts one after another.

There are not a few people who give gifts to Mr. Zhao every year, and the family is not short of money, so even if they give gifts during the Chinese New Year, Madam doesn't like to count them.

After a period of time, the accumulation is almost done, then look at the gift list and just return the gift.

Because there is food in this ceremony, the servants will pass it on to his wife to see what to do with it.

"Giving food?" Mrs. Zhao didn't care much. "Giving food is not as practical as giving silver charcoal. Silver charcoal can also be used for heating. Different tastes of food are different. Even if you give it, it is still a waste."

After hearing this, the servants didn't know what to do, and asked: "Then... the little one is taken to the porter, and let the servants divide it?"

"Wait," Mrs. Zhao asked with a rare moment of leisure, "What did you get?"

The servant hesitated for a moment, and said, "The roast duck from Jiangji Bread House, and some desserts."

After a pause, he said again: "I guess it was ordered at Ginger's Bread House, and it is specially used as a gift."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at the servants and said, "You said just now, what is Mrs. Shen's wife's name?"

"Ah?" The servant didn't know why, but he still replied, "It seems that the surname is Jiang."

"That's it," Mrs. Zhao said, "It is estimated that Mrs. Shen's wife's family is engaged in this business. Let's do it, send it to the back kitchen, and bring some for dinner to try."

"Yes." The servant replied.

……

Wen Hongfang also received the annual gift, but he didn't have time to look at it. When he saw it, it was already on the dining table.

"What is this, black or not?" Wen Hongfang said with a chopstick in his hand.

Madam responded from the side, "The roast duck sent by Mr. Shen."

"Oh..." Wen Hongfang responded.

The madam said at the side: "I don't like the roast duck from Gingerbread House, but the lotus leaf chicken from his house is quite to my taste."

After Wen Hongfang heard it, he was not interested in the roast duck at first, so he turned his chopsticks and put a piece of it on the roast duck plate.

The bones have been removed in the kitchen, so it's easy to eat.

"It's a bit greasy." Wen Hongfang concluded.

Madam gestured to the sour plum juice and shredded green onion next to her, and said, "It tastes better if you eat it together."

"Really?" Wen Hongfang was skeptical, but still took a piece to eat according to this method.

This one tastes quite good.

The sweet and sour taste of sour plum juice mixed with duck meat is an unprecedented experience.

"I didn't expect there to be such a way of eating." Wen Hongfang said, "Master Shen's present is a good one, and he has a heart."

The lady said: "If you like to eat, let the people below go to the Gingerbread House to buy some, but it should be earlier, and if you go late, you won't be able to sell them."

Wen Hongfang said: "Buy some lotus leaf chicken and try it. Didn't you say that lotus leaf chicken is more delicious? Why didn't I see it at dinner?"

Madam was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This lotus leaf chicken tastes better when you buy it fresh, and leave it until you come back from work, the day lily will be cold."

Wen Hongfang: "..."
