Chapter 010 Small kitchen, fire alone
Song Heng wanted to have breakfast in Qiushiyuan, so this little dish was naturally not enough, so he ordered Qiuju to go to the kitchen to serve some food.
However, Song Heng also had a very unpleasant meal because he found that the food he had to come later and the one he had had at the beginning had completely different tastes.
After the meal, Qiuju collected the bowls and chopsticks and brewed a pot of green tea.
"Madam, what have you remembered?" Song Heng put down the teacup in his hand and asked at Chen Wan.
Chen Wan raised her hand and rubbed her temples: "Occasionally, some images flashed through her mind."
"What kind of picture?" Song Heng asked.
"It seems like the scene of me carrying a big bag on the dock." Chen Wan said, looking at Song Heng in discomfort and asked, "Aren't I a general's wife? How could I carry a big bag on the dock?"
Song Heng looked guilty and replied, "At that time, I was not a general and was forced to recruit soldiers. In order for my mother and children not to starve to death, you went to the dock to carry a big bag of rice."
"So that's how it is!" Chen Wan lowered her head and curled her lips sarcastically.
The two sat together, and talked for a while before leaving.
After Song Heng left, Chen Wan found the money box hidden under the bed based on her memory.
In the box, there were ten or fifty taels of silver and fifty taels of broken silver. Song Heng's monthly salary was only 120 taels. When he was appointed as a general in his early years, Song Heng bought pensions for the brothers who died in battle, or injured his arms and legs. There was no other investment in the general's mansion, and this hundred and twenty taels of silver would have to support more than fifty people in the general's mansion. Moreover, Song Ziyu would have to get married in another two years and would have to save dowry, so the original owner became a little stingy and frugal, and then saved more than five hundred taels of silver.
This was originally a dowry that Song Ziyu saved, but Chen Wan felt that it was a pity to give the little ungrateful wolf the money to make the dowry, so she decided to keep the money for herself.
Chen Wan took out ten taels of silver from the box and then put the box back to its original place.
"Autumn chrysanthemum"
"Hey" Qiuju, who was cleaning the yard, put down her broom and entered the house.
"What are the instructions for Madam?"
Chen Wan said: "You take the money and go out to buy some rice, noodles, meat, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. In the future, we will open the fire separately in the kitchen in the yard."
Since Song Zhu's hooves don't care, she will start the fire and eat it in the future! She doesn't want to abuse her stomach, and there is a small kitchen in the yard, but it has never been used.
"Why?" Qiuju blurted out. The lady has always been frugal, so why did she suddenly remember to open the fire alone?
Chen Wan rolled her eyes and said, "Because the food cooked in the kitchen is so bad, I'm afraid that if I continue to eat it, I will become thinner and thinner."
Qiuju also ate some leftover dishes that her wife and the general had eaten in the morning. The two dishes she had prepared for her were indeed a bit unpleasant. She saw that the general had eaten the two dishes this morning, and he must have discovered them, but he said nothing.
"I'll go now." Qiuju stretched out her hands and took the silver.
Qiuju went out, and Chen Wan had nothing to do, so she walked around the mansion. Although the servants and soldiers in the mansion saluted her when they saw her, they had no respect on their faces.
After walking around and admiring the ancient garden buildings, Chen Wan returned to Qiushiyuan. After a while, Qiuju came back with a basket of ingredients on her back. Qiuju first cleaned up the kitchen, and then placed the things she bought. It was already noon after finishing it. Because it was too late to cook lunch, Qiuju went to the big kitchen to get the meal.
Lunch consists of crispy duck, fried pork with ginger, stir-fried soybean sprouts, loofah meatball soup, and a cup of ginseng chicken soup. The dish is much richer than before.
After Qiuju put the food on the table, Chen Wan was quite surprised. Although she didn't know how it tasted, the dish was full of color and fragrance.
Chen Wan sat down and tasted it, and found that the taste was very good, and the ginseng chicken soup was also very fragrant and rich. Could it be that Song Heng had talked about the people in the kitchen?
"Qiuju, you just went to get the food. What are the attitudes of the people in the kitchen?" Chen Wan asked, looking at Qiuju standing aside to serve.
Qiuju said, "It's much better!"
In the past, people in the kitchen ignored her, but just now, they were very respectful to her and the food they gave was very good.
"I think it must be the general who told the kitchen privately." Otherwise, the group of people in the kitchen would not have such a change.
Chen Wan asked again: "What changes have occurred in the kitchen staff?"
Qiuju thought for a while and said, "There is no change, everyone is here!"
It seems that the kitchen food is still not enough. Although Song Zhutouzi privately talked about the people in the kitchen, the food has also improved. But the person who was told is still in the kitchen! What if she holds a grudge and adds ingredients to her meal?
It’s not that she thinks people too badly, but that people’s hearts are so bad.
After lunch, Chen Wan took a nap for a while, then went to the kitchen to take a look. Seeing Qiuju coming back from buying cucumbers, she sliced the cucumbers into Qiuju's face in surprise eyes.
