Chapter 230, More Rain
The second room has converged, and Aunt Lin’s special treatment is gone. After solving these two problems, Daohua has taken over the kitchen more smoothly.
She did not make drastic changes to the kitchen, only to renovate some deficiencies, and she did not interfere too much with the personnel of the kitchen.
Only a few points were emphasized. First, it is necessary to ensure cleanliness and fresh ingredients; second, the kitchen expenditure should not exceed expectations, unless it is a banquet held in the mansion, or something else; third, the banquet in the mansion must be served. It must be handy.
As for the management of the kitchen staff, she almost didn't care about it, so she directly handed it over to Mrs. Ren.
However, she also told Lady Ren that as long as the people underneath got into trouble, the first person she would look for was Lady Ren.
As a result, the kitchen is a bit more regular than before.
"After taking over the kitchen, I didn't think the girl was busier than before. Look, Miss Zhou was dragged to ride a horse again, but she was more diligent than before."
In Daohuaxuan, Gu Yu was cleaning up the house while talking to Lixia.
Lixia: "That's because our girl is amazing. I heard the girl tell Sister Man'er before that, no matter what the matter is, we must first establish rules and regulations. As long as there is a regulation, then find a suitable person. Come to supervise, then she doesn’t have to go to the details."
"Doesn’t the lady praise the girl before, saying that she knows how to delegate power and be the master, if she has to do everything by herself, then she shouldn’t be exhausted. Our girl is a person who knows how to enjoy happiness."
Gu Yu smiled and nodded: “It’s really the case. Now when I look at the kitchen, I’m more motivated than before. To our girls, it’s also submissive.”
Lixia smiled and answered: "Can you refuse to obey, the girl has clear rewards and punishments. The rules and regulations should be clearly written. As long as you act in accordance with the regulations, you will be considered useless, but you will not be fined or deducted for no reason."
"Moreover, if you develop a new dish or discover any new food, you will get a certain amount of reward for everything that tastes delicious. Everyone has hope, and they won't be slanderous and slippery, and they won't be fooling around. It's more harmonious."
"is not that right."
Outskirts of Xingzhou City.
Daohua and Zhou Jingwan rode their horses for two laps, and it started to rain lightly in the sky.
The two had to stop, return to the carriage, and go back home.
"The weather this year is too strange. It rains every other time, which is annoying."
Zhou Jingwan jumped off the horse, got into the carriage, and let the maid help tidy up the wet hair and clothes.
Ina Flower also followed, wiped the rain from his forehead with a handkerchief, then lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the rain curtain that had been connected outside, and looked a little worried.
"This year there is indeed too much rain. If this continues, the crops in the field should be reduced again. I am afraid that there will be floods in some places."
Zhou Jingwan had no feelings about this kind of thing, and quickly turned the topic away: "Have you received the post from the little prince?"
Daohua shook her head: "What post?"
Zhou Jingwan: "It's the post he will hold a birthday banquet in the palace this year!"
Daohua suddenly said, "Isn’t this more than a month left?"
Zhou Jingwan: "One month has passed very quickly, okay, do you think you want to give a gift?"
Daohua smiled: "Little Prince has helped my family a lot, and it is his first birthday. I will naturally prepare a big gift."
Zhou Jingwan immediately opened her eyes wide and curiously said: "What is it? Tell me."
Ina Flower shook her head: "This is boring if you say it, and you will know it later. By the way, what about you, what have you prepared?"
Zhou Jingwan: "My mother helped me prepare a set of excellent pen, ink, paper and ink."
After hearing this, Daohua immediately laughed, remembering that Xiao Yeyang had specifically said to her at the beginning, not to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone. It is conceivable that he can receive a lot of such things every year. .
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the young man who drove the car had to speed up. It didn't take long for the carriage to enter Xingzhou City. Then Daohua and Zhou Jingwan separated and went home separately.
When Daohua led the horse back to the stable, she met Master Xiao who came back to return the horse. Seeing his awkward servant, most of his clothes wet, he immediately asked, "Where did Master Xiao go?"
Seeing that it was Daohua, Master Xiao didn’t rush to leave. He smiled and said, “This year there was too much rain. The adults asked me to check the river embankment.”
Ina Flower: "Is the river bank okay?"
Master Xiao shook his head: “When the adult first came to take office the previous year, he repaired the river embankment. In the past two years, the river embankment has not been cleaned and built. It is fine, and the water level has not risen.”
Daohua breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Xiao, hurry up and change clothes, don’t get typhoid fever."
Master Xiao nodded and left with a smile.
Immediately, Daohua returned to the main courtyard, just to see Mrs. Li reading the letter from her eldest brother, but her face looked a little unpleasant.
"Mother, what did the eldest brother say?"
Mrs. Li put down the letter: “It’s nothing, just said something about in the academy and greetings.”
Daohua: "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, are they coming back, brother?"
This year, the three of the eldest brothers have never returned home once, saying that they are busy with schoolwork.
Mrs. Li shook her head: "No reply."
Daohua narrowed her eyebrows: "Big brother, they are so busy?"
Ms. Li glanced at Daohua, thought for a while, and pushed the letter over: "You can read it for yourself."
Daohua quickly picked up the letter and looked like, after reading the content of the letter, her eyes widened suddenly: "Isn't it? Big brother and they went to Fenxi with the little prince?"
"What are they going to Fenxi for? Suppress the bandits?"
Ms. Li’s eyelids twitched quickly when she heard the words “suppress bandits”: “Fortunately, I’m back safely, if something happens.”
"Will not!"
Daohua quickly interrupted her mother's words: "Mother, what do you think, who is Xiao Yeyang? There must be a large group of masters around him. How could something happen?"
Although the words are sonorous and powerful, they don’t have much confidence.
The sword has no eyes. When the bandits are killed, it doesn’t matter what identity you are.
Mrs. Li was not comforted, but she didn't want her daughter to worry about it. She just said: "They are too courageous, and they don't want to talk to the family. After coming back next time, you have to ask your father to teach them a good meal. "
Taohua didn't dare to help speak at this time, and immediately nodded with approval: "Yes, it is necessary to learn a lesson."
Ms. Li thought for a while, but she was still a little worried: "You said, will your elder brother be injured, so they dare not go home for the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Daohua was stunned: "It should not be possible."
Mrs. Li shook her head: "No, if I don’t see them with my own eyes, I don’t worry. Go, write to your eldest brother and them, and ask them to go home during the Dragon Boat Festival."
