After a pause, she asked again: "Will the family's manpower be tight?"
"It's a little bit, but it's not a big problem. Let's wait and see." The old butler's original intention was to make do with what was needed.
How could Ning Jiayin not hear his good intentions? She only acted like this when she truly thought about her master's family, so she followed him and said: "Okay, if it's not enough after a while, you can tell everyone when you go back that I will give everyone a raise this month." silver."
If the moon goes up, then what the lady does will definitely come true!
The chief butler interpreted the lady's message as he walked, the wrinkles on his face squeezed together.
The butler had just left and the doorman brought someone over. He was a young man from Shi Mansion. He said that the eldest sister knew she was going to do business and sent someone to deliver a thousand taels of silver notes. Ning Jiayin said in front of the young man, "It's the eldest brother-in-law." Let you give it to me.”
The tone was so sure that the boy was stunned on the spot. The fourth girl was so powerful: "The fourth girl knows so much?"
Admitted. Ning Jiayin put it bluntly: "If the eldest sister gave it to her, she would definitely ask the mother-in-law next to her to bring it to her." She said that the eldest sister gave it to her, because she must be caring about her reputation.
The eldest brother-in-law’s character is really good!
She wrote a note and said to the boy: "Give this to the eldest brother-in-law. This thousand taels will be regarded as the money for the eldest brother-in-law's investment."
The boy wiped the sweat from his head and left.
The depression in Ning Jiayin's heart disappeared instantly. The one thousand taels of silver notes came just in time, and her plan needed to be adjusted.
She asked Qingdai to send the banknote to the housekeeper, and Zhang Anyang, who collected the peppers, brought an extra thousand taels.
She had originally planned to have the money given to her later, but she didn't need it now. The money Zhang Anyang brought was completely enough.
Because Zhang Anyang was traveling far away, Ning Jiayin thought of her nanny again. If the things she asked him to do were successful, he would be here in the next few days.
After Ning Jiayin finished handling the matters at hand, she got up and went to the bookstore to take a look.
At this time, the younger brothers and sisters were tracing red and practicing calligraphy. When they saw her coming in, they all looked up and smiled and continued. She didn't say much. She gave two small instructions on how to hold the pen and then went out.
Ning Jiayin reallocated her time. When her younger brothers and sisters were studying, she would deal with the problems left over from the night before, and then she would teach again. After noon, it is my brother's self-study time. You can just take some time to go there yourself. The sisters have to go back and practice the basic skills of girls.
Alas, if the second sister wasn't getting married, she would have wanted to drag her here and stare at her.
Just wait a little longer. When the time comes, you have to find your husband.
On the second day, Ning Jiayin first asked Qingdai to soak the bean tendons in advance. In the afternoon, Wang Cheng, who was collecting ground pears, sent some ground pears and wolf peaches. Ning Jiayin first prepared the ingredients with two maids. Prepared tomato sauce for future generations.
He called eight more women and entered the kitchen, instructing them to peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices or square strips as required. Then pour hot water into the pan and fry them. After they cooled down, they shared them with everyone. Very crispy.
The ladies nodded as they tasted it. After they were sprinkled with the ingredients prepared by Ning Jiayin, one was crispy and sweet, and the other was crispy and a little spicy. After eating one, I still wanted to eat another.
Following the example of the fourth girl, I picked up a long strip and smeared it with red sauce. The pear was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sweetness of the sauce instantly filled my mouth.
Several women thought in unison: "No wonder the housekeeper is so respectful to the fourth girl. The fourth girl is really extraordinary. I have never seen such a thing. How could she do it?"
Naturally, Ning Jiayin didn't know what they were thinking, so she directed Bai Zhi and Bai Su to send some to her grandmother and each room. Of course, her younger brother who was studying was also indispensable.
Ning Jiayin led everyone to make spicy strips for later generations. Last night, the bean tendons had been soaked in water by Chun Xing. While cooking, everyone was choked by the pungent smell and could only sneeze. The smell of Mrs. Yan who was cooking the pot was even more intense. Her eyes were covered with smoke and she couldn't see. She shouted, "Fourth girl, what is this?" and ran out staggeringly.
Everyone laughed when they saw how embarrassed she was.
Ning Jiayin also laughed.
While waiting for the juice to collect in the pot, Ning Jiayin motioned to Liu Kun's family to fill up a bowl.
She could tell that Liu Kun's family was the leader of these people.
Everyone was immediately attracted by the color of this thing. It looked golden with a bright red color, and there were scattered white sesame seeds in the middle. They were really salivating just looking at it.
Ning Jiayin first picked one up with chopsticks and blew on it, then told the ladies: "Everyone, let's have a taste. After you taste it, tell us what you think."
Mrs. Yan was the most impatient. She picked one up with her fingers and put it in her mouth. She immediately screamed "heaty" again.
Everyone was made to laugh again, but they accepted her lesson. They picked up a stick and blew it like the fourth girl before putting it in their mouths. It's a little sweet, a little salty, and a little spicy. After chewing it for two times, everyone immediately squinted their eyes because of the rich taste in their mouths. They chewed faster. The stimulation from the mouth and throat made people unable to stop, so they ate it quickly. I want to eat a second one.
Sister-in-law Liu Lin couldn't eat spicy food, but she really couldn't bear the taste, so she ate one with tears in her eyes. After eating, she picked up the palm of her hand and fanned it against her tongue.
Everyone was laughing non-stop. The Ning family had not been so lively for a while.
This is the best comment. Ning Jiayin smiled and said, "You can eat more if you want, or you can take some back to your family."
The fourth girl said that they could take it to their families, but they stopped eating and waited to take more home for their families. Neither the elderly nor the children had seen this thing.
Ning Jiayin asked Qingdai and Chunxing, who had returned home, to send some more to the backyard and prepare more for their aunt and aunt. Pregnant women had a unique taste and couldn't say they liked it. Ning Jiayin asked them to tell their aunt and aunt that they couldn't eat it once. After all, the physique of pregnant women is also different from that of others.
Let Liu Kun's family divide the rest among everyone.
Looking at the happy people, Ning Jiayin was in a good mood. These snacks will be loved by young and old in later generations, especially the unique taste of spicy strips that makes people want to stop. Moreover, these have also been confirmed by other time travellers.
Ning Jiayin's guess was good. When Chun Xing came back and said that the third aunt was very happy when she saw the potato chips, she praised the fourth girl for being extraordinary. When she tasted the spicy strips again, she said that after giving birth to the child, she If you come to the front yard to help, you can eat every day.
Ning Jiayin could imagine what her third aunt looked like after hearing these words. She was originally the youngest daughter of the Wu family and had a coquettish and naive temperament.
Qingdai couldn't help laughing, thinking that they were also like this when the lady cooked it for them. In the past few years, I have eaten too much delicious food with my lady.
The eldest lady didn't like potato chips very much, but she liked spicy strips. They were so spicy and numb that juice filled her mouth. She ate three strips in a row, but Mrs. Wang had to take them away so she didn't eat them.
Ms. Liu asked everyone in the room to taste it. She was afraid that she would be the only one who liked it. After all, the fourth girl belonged to their eldest family member and had a bearing on the eldest family member's face and dignity.
If everyone likes it, the business will go smoothly. When she saw the maids and servants in the house looking like they couldn't stop, Ms. Liu's mood improved greatly.
