Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 182

Except for the last time she entered the county lord's mansion, it was the first time Xia Junyan visited the home of a rich family in ancient times.After all, the last time, she just stayed in the place where the servants gathered. Now that she came to this authentic ancient compound, Xia Junyan wished she could take a photo with a camera. They are all antiques!
"I've met Madam, Madam Wanan." Xia Junyan collected her thoughts and gave a slight blessing to Madam Chen.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "You are welcome, shopkeeper Xia, please sit down."

As soon as he sat down, a juicy little maid came to serve tea.Xia Junyan did some calculations, and there were three maids standing in this room to serve, and four maids guarding the door, not to mention the rough women and the women in charge in the yard.

Xia Junyan felt that she was too stimulated by the luxurious life in ancient times.

Mrs. Chen is also silently looking at Xia Junyan.Although this woman was born as a peasant girl, her demeanor is not rough. Although she would look twice at the furnishings of this room, her face is still calm. ——It’s a good seedling.

"It is a heartfelt invitation to invite shopkeeper Xia to come today. I plan to hold a small banquet and invite a few ladies who are close to the town to talk about it. Because they will be women at that time, I think that if the chef is a chef Mother, it will be a lot more convenient if you think about it. I tasted Master Xia's craftsmanship yesterday, and it is a masterpiece. I wonder if Master Xia can appreciate it?"

"Madam invites, but the little girl dare not refuse." Xia Junyan had already watched the silver ingot flying towards her with wings, "I just don't know how many people Madam wants to invite, what's your taste like, and when is the banquet scheduled?" ?”

Mrs. Chen heard her talk, she thought that this is a well-organized person, so she said to the maid beside her: "Go and bring the prepared list."

Qiu'er was taken aback for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, Ruizhu had already handed the list to Xia Junyan.

Mrs. Chen also wanted to take the test. Unexpectedly, Xia Junyan glanced at it for a few times, then closed her eyes, and said with a smile: "I see, Madam wrote very detailed, I will try to make some samples for Madam to taste in the past few days If Madam is dissatisfied, you can also confirm the nearby restaurant as soon as possible."

Mrs. Chen was a little worried, afraid that Xia Junyan would have the idea of ​​taking the list back and asking others to read it for her, so she said: "The ladies have different tastes, I wonder what shopkeeper Xia has in mind?"

Xia Junyan said: "This list is very clear. The ladies of the Wei family like sweets, and the ladies of the Wu family have a mild taste, and the ladies of the Wu family don't like spicy food...Because the wives and ladies are all spoiled guests, I also I can't bring out the recipe right away, I hope my wife will let me go back and think about it for a while."

She really can read! !

Mrs. Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "What shopkeeper Xia said is true. Shopkeeper Xia is a real person, so I can rest assured."

Ruizhu glanced at Qiu'er, took advantage of Xia Junyan's departure, and whispered: "I didn't expect that shopkeeper Xia can also read. It looks like she can recognize every single list written by Madam. Madam Qian'er Teach you how to write, can you memorize it all?"

Qiu'er took a deep breath and smiled: "At least he's a shopkeeper, knowing a few words is nothing. Ma'am will be admiring flowers later, so I have to go with her. Wait a minute, sister, don't give them away."

Another servant girl looked at this verbal lawsuit and couldn't help sighing: "Why are you doing this. She is a relative of the madam after all, and she is different from us. It is common sense that she has a higher spirit."

Ruizhu twisted her handkerchief, and said angrily: "I just can't understand her! What kind of relatives are not serving others, and they really treat themselves as a lady when they enter the mansion! Madam's jewelry was originally in charge of Xizi, but she came here So, I drove Xizi to the dining room, in the name of letting Xizi get used to the chores there earlier, and then help her find a lady in charge in front of the wife. Pooh! I don’t care how much face I have! "
