The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 144

Shi Chuying looked down, thought for a while, and asked, "Has the kitchen steward in charge of this banquet come?"

A mother in charge of the kitchen stood up, and Shi Chuying asked, "Has the menu been drawn up?"

The mother hurriedly handed it over, and said hesitantly: "Returning to Madam, there is no one in our kitchen who has held a big banquet. The big guy started to ask and search after receiving the letter last night. We only know how to do it." In the end, I can only list such dishes, I'm afraid it's not enough to see..."

This mother was also forced to do nothing. They all came from Jianzhou to cook home-cooked food. They originally planned to hire two cooks for the banquet in the capital. Who knew that the banquet came so quickly. They and their wife I didn't even have time to prepare.

Shi Chuying is not faint, of course she knows the strengths and weaknesses of her cooks, looked at the list, although Aunt Yue and Aunt Chen pointed out, but after all, it was too homely, and it was enough for her to eat. Customers are always worse.

Shi Chuying frowned slightly, "Four cold dishes, ten hot dishes, and some soup and snacks are enough, but, have you asked about the appetite of the guests? How does it taste? Are there any taboos?"

The kitchen steward is quite interested, and has already inquired about it, and told Shi Chuying one by one. Shi Chuying nodded, took a black pen and crossed out a few dishes on the menu, and then said, "Cross down the menu." Let the steward of the outer courtyard go to the restaurant outside to order a few big dishes, and the kitchen will follow one, so don’t worry about the dishes.”

As he said that, he asked someone to send a message to Li San, and sent someone to contact the kitchen staff as soon as possible, and hurried to the restaurant. The restaurant was busy with lunch when it was late, so it would be bad if it was delayed.

Seeing Yuzhu rushing to pass on the message, Shi Chuying said to the wife in charge of the kitchen: "Since the main course of this banquet is fish, so many people can eat one fish, so let Master Ma change it to something that can make a big portion." , it tastes more delicious."

The girls on both sides came and went without mentioning the word. After the kitchen order was inserted in the middle, Shi Chuying turned around and continued to talk to the daughter-in-law in charge of the West Flower Hall: "The main dish in their kitchen is fish. The smell is not strong, but it is also delicious. Don't use silk screens, choose something else that is not easy to get the smell."

Immediately, he called the steward who was in charge of the furniture in the warehouse and asked, "Do we have such a screen in the warehouse?"

Shi Chuying didn't have time to check the warehouse, and she didn't even count these.

The steward frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Returning to Madam, I remember that there is a carved rosewood screen in Dongsanku. I wonder if it is suitable? There are also two [-]% off screens, one It has a marble landscape screen core, one has a white porcelain beauty screen core, and both have red sandalwood bases..."

"First lift the rosewood one out, and I'll check it out later."

The steward hurriedly wrote it down, turned back and ordered the servants who followed him to go to the warehouse to find things, and continued to serve as servants.

Shi Chuying took a sip of tea to moisten her mouth, and said: "If you eat fish, Aunt Li will go to the flower room to find a pot of camellia with peach pollen powder and move it there first to meet the occasion."

He asked again, "Who is in charge of the staff who serve?"

Aunt Yue stood up and said, "The servant is in charge."

"Well, Auntie remembers, it's good to only send servants and servants to serve, not girls. If someone goes fishing in troubled waters, we can't let him go."

At this moment, someone reported that those who applied for materials for the warehouse, those who purchased materials, all kinds of things, it took a lot of effort to arrange just this banquet.

Aunt Yue only nodded when she heard this, and she really felt that this lady's ability to comprehend is amazing. She knew that Shi Chuying had no such experience, so she only listened to the old Momo talk with Rongshou Hall twice before getting married. It was very thorough.

In fact, she didn't know that no matter what your advice was, more than half of it was taught by the unknown Taoist priest.In other words, it's no wonder that Shi Chuying thinks that her master has an extraordinary background, this old man should not be too familiar with all kinds of gifts and banquets!Although there are no real objects to give on-site guidance to the apprentices, the theoretical teachings are not bad, and many of them are from Gu Li.

For example, what is the main course of the banquet? According to this main course, consider the surrounding decoration utensils, flower and plant collocation, etc. Shi Chuying can only think about one or two things because of a sudden incident, otherwise it will be a big lesson .

At this time, the girl who sent the message came back and told that Master Ma Liu had chosen a home-cooked dish such as hot and sour crucian carp stewed tofu, and asked his wife how it was.

Shi Chuying nodded and said: "It sounds good. If there are always dishes for dinner, you are not considered an outsider. You can save yourself from looking at the dishes. Well, ask Master Ma to make two servings. I will also eat this at noon."

Everyone pursed their lips and bowed their heads, not daring to laugh.

"Did the general say anything to drink?"

"The general said that there is still an errand in the afternoon, and I will serve two jugs of the best 'Pear Blossom White'." So it would be appropriate to exchange the green porcelain for drinking.

Yuping followed and issued a letter of receipt for receiving the items, and there were people from all over the other side to apply for money to buy and order dishes outside.Shi Chuying checked it and indicated that Yuping had used the seal.

After being busy for half an hour, all the stewards in charge of the banquet in the front yard got a reply and were busy arranging it.

At this time, the steward who was answering other matters stepped forward to answer.

This time it was another quarter of an hour before Shi Chuying escaped.

Seeing that she came out of 'Chaochexuan' unhappy, Aunt Yue persuaded: "Right now, there are no regulations in the mansion, everything should be dealt with now, and it will be fine to make a regulation in the future. No more trouble It took a lot of effort."

"I hope..." Shi Chuying grinned at Aunt Chaoyue, she wished that there would be a rule tomorrow.

At this time, she led people to go forward to check whether the items found everywhere were suitable. If they were not suitable, she went directly to the library to pick them up. Shi Chuying walked on the green brick road, secretly adjusting her breath, I feel really uncomfortable!

And this is just the beginning, she still has to pick a jar of good wine for Chu Xu's banquet, Shi Chuying rolled her eyes in her heart, she didn't bother to go to the warehouse, she turned around and looked through the storage bag first.

Finally, everything was done, and Shi Chuying turned back to the main room. As soon as she entered the yard, a white shadow rushed across, followed by a fluffy, soft body hanging on her body .

Shi Chuying's face, which had been tense all morning, finally smiled gently. She stretched out her hand to hold Erfei, and patted his little butt, "Naughty again!"
