Blessed

Chapter 22 Beautiful Jade

Mrs. Mu recalled what happened when Jiaojiao’er was about one year old in Shao’an City. She was only weaned at that time, and she would feed Jiaojiao’er some stewed noodles and porridge, or steamed custard. Well, after more than half a month, Fuchu bought a new batch of grain noodles with salt and vinegar sauce, and then made them for her to eat, and refused to even touch them, and would spit them out when they were forced to feed her.

It was like this for two or three days in a row. After eating two mouthfuls every day, I vomited it out. Finally, I found that only the boiled white porridge still ate two mouthfuls. My son is in good health, so I can’t just eat white porridge like this. I specially bought fish and boiled it into fish soup and added some salt and vinegar sauce to remove the fishy smell. Some, but Jiao Jiaoer still refused to eat a bite.

After eating porridge like this for a few days, I lost a chubby baby.

He hired a few doctors, but they were all helpless, even Mrs. Mu and Licorice felt a little angry and had diarrhea for several days.

Unexpectedly, in the past two days, it was suddenly reported that there was a problem with the sauce and vinegar shop in the city. It turned out that there was something wrong with this batch of sauce and vinegar, the water was not clean, moldy and attracted insects. The sauce and vinegar were sold, and before they were sold out, they were discovered and sued to the government.

Mrs. Mu was very surprised when he heard the news. He immediately went to the kitchen with Licorice to get the sauce and vinegar and smelled it. He tasted it again, but he couldn’t taste anything, except that some moldy spots had grown around the porcelain jars containing the sauce and vinegar. You can't find it if you don't pay attention.

The vinegar and sauce are strong seasonings, and you can't smell it even if it's slightly moldy. These two must be seasoned with any food. If you eat them, you won't make people die, but they will make you more upset.

Mrs. Mu wondered if Jiao Jiao'er refused to eat it because of the mildew and taste, so she could eat the porridge without putting anything in it.Immediately let the licorice go to another shop to buy more vinegar and sauce, and then put a few drops of sauce on the steamed custard of the dish, and Jiao Jiaoer ate it immediately.

This time Jiaojiao refused to eat anything again, so Mu thought, maybe there is something wrong with the sauce and vinegar in the kitchen again?
At the moment, the old lady is still in charge of the uncle's mansion, Mrs. Lin occasionally helps out, and Mrs. Mu is not sure whether it is because of a problem in the kitchen or just Jiaojiaoer's poor appetite.

After two days, Yuzhu'er still ate like this, while Yinya'er ate, but didn't touch other dishes.She usually has a good appetite and is not picky about food, but the taste of the freshly made ingredients is not particularly bad, and basically there is no food wastage, and what is prepared for her can definitely be eaten.

Mrs. Mu knew that something might have happened in the kitchen. She also had some stomach troubles in the past two days, as did Brother Pogeer Xungeer and Baiji. People, I am afraid that the old lady will cause problems if she eats like this.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Mu took Yuzhu'er in her arms and went to greet the old lady together.The old lady is a nice person, and she is very considerate of their three daughter-in-laws on weekdays, and she doesn't want them to get up early every day to say hello, just come over to express their feelings on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Mrs. Lin is here today, having breakfast with the old lady.

Please Ann, the old lady carried Yuzhu'er over and turned upside down, oops, "Is our Yuzhu a little thinner, look at her little face, it's not as round as it was a few days ago."

Mrs. Mu nodded, "Mother doesn't know, and Jiao Jiao'er doesn't know why these days, she refuses to touch a lot of food, she puts it down after two mouthfuls, and asks her why, she always says the taste is not right."

"What's the matter?" The old lady stroked Yuzhu's cheek and said distressedly, "Don't be picky eaters, don't be like your elder sister when she was young, the ones with small appetites are like cats, and the thin ones are like monkeys, it's ugly. The ones from the girl’s house are rounder and more beautiful.”

Yuzhu said softly, "Grandmother, Yuzhu doesn't know why, but feels that the food tastes strange, and it's not the same as before."

"Speaking of this." Mu frowned, "Mother, there was one time in Shao'an City before, and it happened when Jiaojiaoer was young." She briefly told the story, and the old lady's face was not very good-looking. Lin also frowned.

The old lady immediately knew what was going on, and called Xing'er, the maid beside her, to come over and let her go to the kitchen to have a look.

The mansion has been down and out all these years, and the old lady is left with such a maid named Xing'er and Nanny Wang. Nanny Wang is a family member, and the whole family works in the uncle's mansion. Her husband died early, and a son married her. The servant girl is his wife, and she has a little grandson, and the family is also considered harmonious and beautiful.

Nanny Wang and Xing'er take care of the old lady and Uncle Yong Yi on weekdays, while their son and daughter-in-law work in the kitchen, one is in charge and the other is the cook.

Hearing this, Yuzhu was also very surprised. She didn't know about this matter in her body. To be honest, she really didn't remember very clearly when she was a child when she was one or two years old. Sleeping, all I can remember in my mind are the bad things in my previous life, I don't even know that I still have such a keen sense of taste.

But she can indeed taste all kinds of flavors in what she eats and drinks on a daily basis.

A quarter of an hour later, Xing'er came back with some rotten vegetables in her arms, and said to the old lady with her lips pursed, "Old lady, I just looked around in the kitchen, and many of the vegetables I bought are rotten, that's it Yes, and some meat-eating slaves don’t look very fresh.” The old lady is too vegetarian, so it’s not easy for her to show the old lady some meat.

Some of these vegetables are rotten, and you can still eat them if you remove them. Many poor people just buy this kind of food, which is much cheaper.

After Xing'er finished speaking, no one in the room made a sound, and Yuzhu'er sat in the old lady's arms without saying a word. She understood what was going on, someone in the kitchen was greedy for the money for buying vegetables, and bought back some rotten vegetables, which tasted stronger I thought the people in the government didn't know.

After a long while, the old lady sighed, "Nurse Wang has also been with me all my life. I married a maid as a dowry. These years, the mansion has been poor, and many servants have been sent away, so I left their family behind. It's still a bit more generous, and the kitchen has more money to buy ingredients. In the past few months, I have raised money for the shop of the third family, and my money is tight. The money I gave was more, and it was specially reserved for them. Anyway, I have been with me all my life, and the house is not rich, and there is not even a reward on weekdays. No matter thinking about the difficulties in the house, they feel that I owe them Yes! How dare you buy some rotten vegetables and come back to perfunctory people!"

The old lady was also very angry, and her breath was not going well, Xing'er hurriedly poured a glass of warm water and took a Shunqi pill to feed the old lady, and stroked her chest to let Shunqi go.

Both Lin and Mu hurriedly said, "Mother, please calm down."

The old lady waved her hand, "Go and call Mother Wang over here."

Xing'er went to call for someone, and Wang Momo didn't have to wait on the old lady, so she put it in her own room to make some clothes and shoes for her grandson, or came to chat with the old lady, but the old lady likes to be quiet recently and chant Buddha.Wang Momo came over very quickly, and when she saw the rotten radish on the ground, her face turned pale. It was obvious that she knew the way here. When she opened her mouth, tears flowed, "Old lady..."

The old lady didn't say anything else, and said to Wang Momo, "You have followed me for decades. If you don't want to follow me anymore, how about I let your family go out?"

Wang Momo prostrated on the ground and kowtowed, "Old lady, it was the old slave who made a mistake. The old slave was confused for a while and didn't manage the pair of idiots. Please give the old lady a chance. I will never dare to do it again in the future." Such a family If the child of the son's family is sold out, he must have committed a mistake. Who else would dare to buy their family?What's more, the matter of the kitchen buying back this kind of ingredients is very serious. If it goes wrong, it will murder the master's family. If they are caught and sent to the government, they will be beaten to death.

She is also clear about the kitchen affairs. The old lady is kind, and when the house is in trouble, she will give some cash to her family. In the past two months, the house has been in trouble, and the old lady has also told her that there is less money for the kitchen to buy ingredients. Quite a few, she even told her daughter-in-law, why don't you spend this money, how could you think of...

Nanny Wang begged the old lady to forgive them in tears, and finally called the Wang family's son and daughter-in-law to come over, and each of them beat ten boards and fined them three months' monthly money.

Under the influence of her previous life, Yuzhu'er felt that corruption was wrong and intolerable. If it was on her, she would definitely fire her if she encountered such an employee.

After the board was laid, Wang Momo wiped her tears and helped her son and daughter-in-law to thank the old lady, and left with tears in her eyes.

The old lady came to thank the Mu family again, "If it wasn't for the third daughter-in-law who ate such vegetables for half a month, the people in the house would probably get sick. Hey, I'm getting old. This family should be taken care of by you. From now on, the affairs of the mansion will be handed over to the eldest daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, you and the second son's family will help you."

Mrs. Mu held Yuzhu'er on the way back, but Yuzhu still couldn't figure it out, so she asked Mrs. Mu, "Mother, they did something bad, why didn't they sell it?"

Mrs. Mu laughed out loud, "There is no such thing in this family, the bigger family is like this in every house and door, and they have to show some money to them before they can do things with all their heart and serve the master. Today, this time, it is true that the Wang family did something wrong. It is difficult for the government to reduce expenses. They should also do their best to do things, instead of deducting them and using defective products to fool the masters. It is reasonable to sell them, so your grandmothers have their own goods. Punish things to give them a warning, hey, it is also difficult for the government, the current situation is not easy to sell them, the old lady still needs their care, the kitchen also needs people, and the newly bought slaves come back and don’t know where to use their minds ?”

Yuzhu'er thought, could this be the name of the inner house in ancient times?But she still really didn't know, wouldn't it be better to have clear rewards and punishments, so that she should sell it out and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys.

It is true that Yu Zhu'er doesn't understand that there are two eras, and the ways of survival of various systems are different, so how can one use fixed thinking to solve things.

I think she still has a lot to learn.

Fortunately, the five major boards were used, and the meals in the kitchen returned to normal. The taste was still average, but they could be eaten.

Two days later, Xie Che returned to Beijing with several baskets of beautiful jade stones.
