Chapter 580

As soon as the matter of Lily of the Valley was finished, Mama Fu didn't stay long, and asked Mama Jin about Mama Jin's health problems for the Wulanala clan decently, and then got up and left. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Erfu sat for a while with a fierce look in her eyes, and then suppressed the swear words that had rushed to her throat, blackened her face, called the guzheng standing behind her, and said in a low voice: "No matter what kind of great origin that Lily of the Valley is, since she has entered my West Courtyard, she is the person of my West Courtyard, you and Yaoqin don't have to care too much about her, and you two are still responsible for my close affairs." ”

"The slave knows. ”

Speaking of which, Lily of the Valley is like this, not only Erfu is not adaptable, but Guzheng and Yaoqin are also very uncomfortable, but because the mountain of Concubine De Niangniang is pressing on it, even Erfu, the master of the side Fujin, can't resist, so they can only endure it.

After Erfu's order, Gu Zheng only felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and his face looked much better than just now.

"Let Xiaoshengzi add two meat dishes to the maids in the courtyard at night, and welcome the arrival of Lily of the Valley!" Erfu talked freely, walked along the corridor to the upper room, walked to the door of the upper room, and suddenly turned back and said.

Gu Zheng hurriedly bowed down, waited for Erfu to enter the east room of the upper room and sat down, served hot tea with his own hands, and went to the small kitchen in the backyard to find Xiaoshengzi.

“......”

For Erf's orders, Xiaoshengzi has never had the slightest objection.

Only this time, Erf's orders made him a little embarrassed.

There are a total of five masters in the West Courtyard, and a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses are still young, so those meat, eggs, vegetables and fruits, etc., Erfu has asked the housekeeper to change them into clothes, fat powder and other things, that is to say, nearly 50 people up and down the West Courtyard, just rely on Erfu and Xiaoqi, Hongxuan The three masters are raised, in the past, according to the rules of the house, the big palace maid is a meat and a vegetarian two dishes, the second-class palace maid is two vegetarian dishes, the third-class palace maid and the rough palace maid are all a vegetarian dish, but it is barely enough, but the palace maid of the West Courtyard, The servants and women all added two meat dishes, and the little portion of the three masters was not enough.

"Don't bother the master about this.

The master is not in a good mood today, and I will ask Zhao Dezhu to go to the big kitchen to buy ingredients in a while. For the things that Xiao Shengzi was embarrassed about, Gu Zheng naturally understood, glanced at the ingredients stacked on the long table, and asked Xiao Shengzi to open a menu, estimated the gap, smiled and waved his hand, and said casually.

"Okay, just do as you say, but you have to hurry, this meal of more than 50 people, I alone make it, I'm afraid that if it is delayed any longer, this dinner will become a supper." Xiao Shengzi nodded with a smile, counted the missing seasonings and other things, made a unified list, and said with some anxiety while handing it over to the guzheng.

Although it is said that the two cooks of the maid can make some specialty dishes, but in the end they are not good at the spoon, they can't control the heat well, and they can cook some palace maids and servants' meals in the past, but today is the first day of Lily of the Valley to enter the West Courtyard, Xiao Shengzi doesn't want this palace maid who came out of the palace to see her master clearly, so she naturally wants to take these things on herself, his plan, Guzheng also understands, so he nodded without the slightest hesitation, and went to the inverted seat room to find Zhao Dezhu and Wang Shoucai.

Guzheng accompanied Zhao Dezhu and the two to the big kitchen to know that it was Erfu's order early, and Xiaoshengzi did things neatly, and quickly opened the list of ingredients, otherwise it would be really easy to open the skylight for dinner.

It turns out that the big kitchen prepares a number of ingredients every day, and the vegetables sent by Zhuangzi are enough, but the meat, eggs, fish and other meats are all sent in according to the example of the master in the house, plus one and a half of them, and suddenly there are more than fifty mouths to help eat, which is naturally not enough, but fortunately, Guzheng and others came early, and there is a convenience store opened by Erfu to supply, which is enough in half an hour, enough ingredients for the lack of West Courtyard.

Of course, because it is purchased directly from a convenience store outside the house, Guzheng, the big palace maid next to Erfu, also knows the prices of various ingredients in the store, so these ingredients are paid according to the market price, but it saves some silver.

The buying mother-in-law who made a fortune of less oil and water, looked at the guzheng and searched and found out a silver of about one or two more than one or two to settle the account, and immediately pouted, muttered sour words, and said that the people in the West Courtyard were too poor and sour, so angry that the guzheng face was red, and threw out a sentence, "Do you think that there is less oil and water in your pocket, then do you want our master and Fujin to mention the price of these ingredients on the market, and let Fujin recalculate the accounts for you" , the buying mother-in-law stopped talking, and with a smiling face, she sent Guzheng and others out of the big kitchen.

The Guzheng, who had made people sour for a few words, looked at the back of the mother-in-law, and said indignantly: "These people are really insatiable, they can buy fish with a few copper plates, and they are not afraid of eating their stomachs." ”

"Guzheng, don't be angry with them. Zhao Dezhu, who was carrying a basket of pork, glanced around in a ghostly manner, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he came to the side of the guzheng and whispered, "You don't know the price when the master of the main courtyard Fujin doesn't know the price, before you entered the house, the skills you learned in your mother's house were all in vain? ”

What Zhao Dezhu said, Guzheng naturally understands.

Before, when she was on an errand in the Internal Affairs Office, she heard about the rice, flour, grain and oil sent by the palace. All ingredients such as chicken, duck, fish, and meat are several times the market price, or even more than ten times, or even hundreds of times, but she has heard of it, but she has never seen it with her own eyes, and she is not taking money out of her pocket, so she doesn't feel how serious, at most, she is a little jealous that her family background is not obvious in the Internal Affairs Office, and she can't mix it with such a good errand, but this time the people in the house are greedy for money and greedy for the head of her master Erfu, she is completely unhappy, and she can't wait to arrest all these guys who are greedy for money and forget who their ancestors are。

"It's better for our master. Thinking of this, Gu Zheng checked the purse in his hand and said with a smile.

The day when Erfu came to serve by their side illustrated a point, as long as they were palace maids and servants, Erfu would have a reward for them, but if Erfu found that the palace maids and servants in the courtyard were greedy for ink, she didn't ask the reason, nor did she ask whether it was right or wrong, and directly let people take it and send it to Shuntianfu, or send it to the Shen Criminal Division, no one is an exception.

Later, he arrested two servant women who secretly sold the things in the house, punished them severely, and after killing chickens and monkeys, not to mention how positive the atmosphere of this western courtyard was, the careful eye of the big guy's activities was completely tightened.

And Erfu is also a loose hand, as long as he is on an errand, the reward has always been so rich that the servants who serve in other courtyards are red-eyed, and there are also other gifts to give during the New Year's holidays, up to clothes and jewelry, down to tea and candy, in short, it is dazzling, everything, and they can have a happy holiday.

"Our master, that's a good master who is hard to find. Zhao Dezhu agreed with what Guzheng said, when the west courtyard was in the small courtyard, a rough woman who sprinkled and swept her son broke her leg, and the rough woman who sprinkled and swept asked for Yaoqin, and the master of his own family did not stumble and covered the medical expenses, not only that, but also sent a number of precious supplements to the past, and also came forward to invite the doctor in the house to diagnose and treat, so that the front yard guy who broke his leg healed his injury without worries, and came back to work as an errand, otherwise he would also be a small guy who was also doing sprinkle sweeping in the front yard and waited for a lame leg to go to Zhuangzi！

The three of them talked, returned to the west courtyard, Erfu had also changed into a homely robe, was sitting under the grapevines in the courtyard, one hand on the cheek, the other hand holding the tea bowl of the stupefi, seeing the guzheng come in, smiled and beckoned, and said softly: "Why have you been there for so long, but someone has made it difficult for you?"

"No, it's just that the ingredients in the house are not enough, and I called the people in the master's shop to send some over, so I waited for a while. Guzheng didn't mention the sour words said by the mother-in-law, and Erfu was not happy, and smiled and sent a small basket of cherries in his hand to Erfu's eyes as if offering treasures, and replied respectfully.

"It's a fresh thing. Erf casually flicked the cherry as tempting as a ruby, smiled and nodded, "Leave half for me, and you big guys will share the rest, and give the big guys a taste." ”

If it is according to the normal planting method, although the cherry is the first branch of spring fruit, it will not be available for sale until April and May of the lunar calendar, that is, a month later, but Erfu spent a lot of money to build a greenhouse on several fruit trees in the village, so the time for the cherry to go on the market is also a lot earlier.

But even so, the number of fruit trees in the greenhouse is not much, so this very early cherry, the price is naturally quite expensive, if it weren't for the convenience store shopkeeper who knew that it was to deliver to the owner, and brought such a basket of fresh cherries to the owner to taste, as far as Guzheng herself, she really didn't dare to buy such an expensive thing.

Don't look at this basket of cherries, it's only ten catties, but it costs hundreds of taels of silver!

There are all convenience stores in Beijing, and there are only the largest shops near the inner city, which are exclusively for these dignitaries and nobles who live in the inner city, so Erfu casually rewarded half a basket of cherries, and the guzheng was still a little reluctant, "Master, this thing is rare, it is better for you to keep it and eat it with the little masters, it is good for the slaves and maids to have meat to eat." ”

"You're a worthless girl.

This thing will be in another month, it will be all over the street, and the yards of ordinary people will come down, where can it be regarded as a rare thing, at most it is a taste, if it is not for Xiao Qi and them, it will be enough for me to leave a small plate. "After eating modern cherries, Erf said that this kind of cherries the size of a little thumb cover are really not too rare, but after staying up for a winter, all I eat are pears, apples, or dried fruits, and Erfu doesn't even want to taste them.

Seeing that Erfu had made up his mind, Guzheng didn't say more, so he carried a small basket with cherries, and followed Zhao Dezhu and the two to the small kitchen, but when they were divided in the small kitchen, they still only divided half a sea bowl, and left it for the palace maids and servants in the courtyard to try it, and took a few plates, and filled most of the plates respectively, ready to be given to the masters of other courtyards, so they sent the others to the cellar behind the small kitchen, put them away, and planned to keep them for their own masters to eat slowly.

"Master, try it, the slave and maid just ate a few in the small kitchen, sweet and sour, very delicious. Gu Zheng put the cherries washed in well water, put them in a glass bowl, and sent them to Erfu with a smile, and said in a clever way.

Erfu is not a master who cares about money very much, the reason why he built a greenhouse on the Zhuangzi is also to satisfy his hunger, at this time she saw that the guzheng said seriously, a very happy look, she was also happy, smiled and grabbed a few, stuffed into the guzheng's hand, and said softly: "If you like to eat, let the shop send more over, they are all things produced in our own Zhuangzi, nothing is rare." ”

After speaking, she told the guzheng to send a copy to Mama Nan and Xiao Qi, Hongxuan, and the other women of the fourth master, and then pinched a black and red cherry, smiled and threw it into her mouth to eat.

Even if Erf didn't tell him, Guzheng wouldn't forget it, but when he saw Erfu asking, he naturally patted his head, saying that he was an elm head, and he forgot everything when he saw delicious food, and deliberately pretended to be very remorseful, which caused Erfu to smile again, so he beckoned Xiaowen to come over and wait, and turned around to go to the small kitchen.

Looking at the zither that turned away, Erfu smiled and shook her head.

For the palace maids around her, like Yaoqin and Guzheng, Erfu doesn't like to be too restrained with them, but she can laugh a few words like this, but it makes her feel much more comfortable, so sometimes Guzheng They deliberately pretend to be stupid to make her laugh, and she is happy to cooperate, if there are poker faces around her, Narf is afraid of her depression.

"Come, taste it too......

Your sister Guzheng has eaten it, if you don't eat it, it will be a loss. Erfu, who was smiling, raised his hand to greet Xiaowen, who was carrying a glass pot full of flowers and fruit tea, holding the glass bowl, and said softly.

"Thank you, master!"

Xiaowen is later, it is better to be free by Erfu's side with Guzheng and Yaoqin, seeing Erfu grabbing the cherries and stuffing them into his hands, although he did not refuse, but he still made a blessing in a proper manner, thanked him, and then wrapped the cherries in the embroidery palette and put them in the sleeve tube, a picture of reluctance to eat.

Erfu looked at Xiaowen and asked a little strangely: "Why don't you eat it, this thing is to be eaten while it is fresh, and it can't be saved." ”

The slave maid thought about going back and eating with Sister Yaoqin and Xiaoman. Xiaowen replied solemnly.

Hearing this, Erfu nodded with a smile and said softly, "Silly girl."

You just have to take it and eat it, it's still in the kitchen, and you can divide it at dinner, and everyone can eat it. After speaking, Erfu grabbed a few more from the glass bowl and stuffed them into Xiaowen's hand, afraid that she would not be willing to eat them.

It's just that Erfu has already said so, Xiaowen still goes his own way, and does not take out the cherries to eat, but wraps the cherries in a handkerchief and stuffs them into the sleeve tube, although Erfu has already seen that she secretly swallowed saliva, but she still did not take out and eat one.

Seeing Xiaowen like this, Erfu tilted her head a little strangely.
