The beauty of the lady

Chapter 38
"Yes!"

At the beginning of the morning, these people got into a busy state. Near noon, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang cooked a table of dishes in the kitchen. As for the group of them, they put a table in the kitchen. On the first day, they ate It’s similar to Shangfang, four dishes and one soup, just because of the large number of people, the portions are very generous, and the staple food is steamed buns. I suffered a lot from the toothmaid’s hands a few days ago, but now life is much better.

"Hey, but I can finally have a full meal." Mrs. Wang sighed.

"That's right, that Mrs. Lu Ya is really capable of torturing people. We are lucky to find the master as soon as possible. Others are not so lucky." Mrs. Zhao felt like she would survive the catastrophe.

"However, I think the wife of this family is very good, but the young lady looks a bit powerful." After finishing speaking, Grandma Sun looked at Chunqin and said, "Chunqin, you should be smart when you are with the young lady, you know?"

Chunqin nodded nonchalantly, "Mother Sun, I understand."

She must be careful, because she really has no home other than here, and she is only nine years old this year, but since her father married her stepmother, she has been very bad to her, and after her younger brother was born, he even beat her up Cursed, later when her father accidentally fell to his death while hunting in the mountains, the stepmother sold her.

"Don't think about it so much. Didn't the lady say that you will be fine if you work hard? We are slaves, and we will give you two taels of monthly money when you first come. This is already a lot. I used to be in other mansions. He also drives a car, and it only costs eight qian ren a month, so do it well." Old man Zhang swallowed a big mouthful of steamed buns and said.

Everyone nodded, it's all like this now, what else can they do.

After lunch, Zhou Mei asked Uncle Cheng and Uncle Zhang to go to Xiankeju to buy fresh vegetables. After all, it was still the first lunar month, and there were no vegetable sellers on the street.

But Xiankeju is available all year round. It may be that their masters are really strong enough to supply so many fresh vegetables. There is no plastic film here, and the greenhouse is also made of glass, which is expensive.

But she has already made an agreement with shopkeeper Li that no matter how many vegetables from her family, they can be supplied there. Besides, there are not so many dumplings for making dumplings, which are not like stir-fried vegetables, and the price is not expensive. The market is the same.

In the kitchen, Zhou Mei removed the heads and tails of the two fish, and then sliced ​​them with precision, picking out the fish bones.

"Aunt Zhang, chop up the fish until you can't even notice the fishbone." Zhou Mei ordered, then took out four cabbages, and asked another person to start chopping vegetables.

Next, kneading the dough, cutting the meat, the kitchen is in full swing.

When everything was ready, Zhou Mei taught them how to adjust the trap, how to roll out the dough, and how to make dumplings. Of course, different fillings have different wrapping methods. Yes, all kinds, but today there are only three kinds of fillings, so you can only pack three kinds.

"Several aunts, your task is to make dumplings here. Of course, no matter what outsiders say, our method of making fillings cannot be passed on to the outside world. Although some people can eat it, they still touch it for a few special methods. No, we rely on this to make money."

"Yes, miss, we all understand, you can rest assured." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.

"Okay, just wrap these up this afternoon, and let's cook and eat tonight." Although I don't know how much these four people can make, I don't know the opening of the shop, and I don't know if there are many customers. If not, we still have to continue to add people.

In the room, Mrs. Zhao was coaxing Zhou Tang to play with Mama Li. When she saw Zhou Mei coming in, Mrs. Zhao waved her over.

"How is it? Is it alright?"

"I don't know yet. Let's talk about it later. Let's not talk about our shop, even at Xiankeju. I don't know what the sales will be, but I think it should be very good." He stepped forward and teased Mrs. Zhao. Zhou Tang in his arms, "Don't worry, mother, we will get through no matter how difficult it is, and we will gradually get better in the future."

"My Meier is the best." Zhao's eyes were moist with a smile.

"Mother, do you have any unspeakable wishes?" Zhou Mei asked softly.

Over there, when Mother Li heard this, she hugged Zhou Tang and went to the warm pavilion next to her, leaving space for their mother and daughter.

Mrs. Zhao looked at the backs of Li's mother and son disappearing outside the door, and after a long time sighed: "Mother is fine, but this matter is important, you are still young, let's talk about it when you grow up, even if I tell you now , It doesn’t help, let’s wait until you grow up, or when we have to.”

"Very serious?" Zhou Mei couldn't tell if she was curious, but it's okay to not know, but Mrs. Zhao has something on her mind.

She is a patient, and she has a long-term pressure on a heavy matter in her heart, which also affects her recovery.

Mrs. Zhao stroked her smooth black hair, nodded with a smile, "It's very serious, if they find out, our family might have a more difficult life than the most difficult time."

Not to mention the stepmother of the Shangshu Mansion, even if it is the big house, because of her escape from marriage, the resentment that died in her place is beyond words.

Now the six ministries control all aspects of the imperial court, and there is also that unknown Prince Chun who is not yet crowned. It is really unknown whether the Great Yan Dynasty will be a blessing or a curse.

"Then let's not talk about it, as long as our family lives well, it doesn't matter whether others eat bran swallowed vegetables or drink northwest wind." Zhou Mei said lightly, curling her lips.

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "You, how can you talk like that."

"We are not the saviors, how can we care so much about others."

After making a lot of dumplings in the afternoon, Zhou Mei asked them to take them to Xiankeju, told them how to make them, and then came back. In the evening, the family also began to taste these two flavors of dumplings. The cabbage meat was delicious, while the fish meat was also delicious Yes, although it has a little fishy smell, it does not hinder the taste.

"This taste is really good, both are delicious." Zhao nodded with a smile and satisfaction.

"Well, let's tidy up the shop in a few days, and it will open in a few days. As for the tables and chairs, Dad will go out to find a carpentry store in the next few days. Our shop should be settled, and we can see you sooner when it opens. Money is not."

Zhou Zhuang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to buy it tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Send it to the person next to me?"

"I gave you two dishes. They are neighbors anyway. If you want to eat, you can come and buy them anytime." Zhou Mei smiled slightly.

"If you need help, it's not easy for the grandparents and grandchildren."

The tables were all ready and delivered five days later, and the first and second floors were also packed. These cost nearly ten taels of silver. , Take it to Mrs. Zhao.
