The Second Mistress stared at Danfeng and did not understand what Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) meant. It was strange that the Second Mistress knew about something like this that was hundreds of years old.
But the second mistress is a shrewd woman, and with only a little calculation, she knew that this kind of open-air barbecue and buffet would save money compared to ordinary banquets, so she went to grandma's house.
But the quality is a little lower, and I always feel that it is a street stall in the Tianqiao Market. If you invite a chef from the Eighth Building to cook in your house, you will have to spend thousands of taels of silver, and you will have to buy the best delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it will cost a lot of money.
Pen of silver.
Without using a calculator, the second mistress just talked and calculated that the birthday banquet would cost at least five thousand taels of silver.
Baoyu was shocked when the second mistress made such a calculation. According to the purchasing power of silver in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, 1 tael of silver was equivalent to 240 yuan in later generations. That is, a birthday banquet would cost 1.2 million. This is a luxurious birthday.
Feast!
Class? What is class? As long as you know how to arrange it, you can reach class even if you eat roasted sweet potatoes.
When he heard that most of the people who came were military bosses, Baoyu felt even more relieved.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) used his skills in encouraging investors to make angel investments in later generations, and finally convinced the second mistress to hold the old lady's birthday party with a combination of buffet and BBQ.
Then he returned to his residence happily.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard a whimpering sound.
Underneath a pair of macaws, a little woman wearing pink silk was wiping her tears.
When I walked over, I saw this girl crying so hard that she couldn't help but cry.
"Zhang what what Feng? It's a familiar girl again, oh my god!" Baoyu howled in his heart, how many big stars of later generations are in this Jia family.
Seeing that Baoyu was back, Xiren came out of the house and shouted: "Baoyu is back, but I hope you will come back. Everyone in the master's study calls you a poetry fairy. Qingwen, don't cry, Baoyu is back."
"He's back, what's the matter with him..."
Qingwen is from Shanghai?
"Why are you crying? Tell me."
Xiren said: "It's not because of the lack of money. Qingwen's brother was seriously ill and had no money to hire a doctor. Her sister-in-law came to her to ask for money, but the money was too little. Her sister-in-law said something weird, and Qingwen said
Not happy anymore."
"Isn't there money in the cash box?"
Qingwen wiped her tears and stood up and said, "I don't want your money."
Hey, it’s all about money. It seems that whether it’s in the hereafter or in this world, it’s really impossible to do without money.
After sighing with emotion, he took Qingwen and walked towards the house.
I originally wanted to see more beautiful actresses, but none of the other women were similar, so I had to give up.
A little girl with white pear petals, frail and amiable, it can be seen that this God is really blind sometimes, and he actually made such a lovely woman cry until she turned pale for a few taels of silver.
"It's really 'the jade face is lonely and full of tears, and the pear blossoms bring spring rain'" Baoyu blurted out such a poem. He was shocked. This was definitely not his own memory. Could it be Baoyu's memory?
After saying this poem, Qingwen said angrily: "You are still laughing at me when you are like this..."
"Isn't it just money? One day I will earn you tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and let you sleep on it."
Hearing this, Qingwen burst into laughter, "That's all you have in mind, I remember... I'm not sleeping up there, I'm so panicked..."
This smile is like the pear blossoms blooming.
Back in the house, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) saw Sheyue holding the pen and couldn't put it down.
"I want it, I'll give it to you."
"Call you a prodigal son. You really don't want to hear it. This is a Jun kiln brush washer. It's worth a lot of money, at least a thousand taels of silver. I can't afford it, let alone the master who rewarded you."
They are all people who speak freely, but they are much better than those so-called literati and poets.
Taking the pen and washer from She Yue's hand, he jumped and said, "Let Ming Yan take it and sell it tomorrow. It's a waste here. If you exchange it for silver, you can still make money."
"You want to lend money? This is against the laws of the Qing Dynasty."
"Who said you can only lend money when you have money? It seems that you are interested in money, and you will be my finance minister from now on."
Although She Yue didn't quite understand what the Minister of Finance meant, she was relieved to be recognized.
I took out my laptop bag and when I opened it, two hemp-colored pouches fell out.
When I picked it up, I saw that it was a small bag of rice seeds and a small bag of tomato seeds, with the word "Yuan" written on them. I couldn't help but be shocked again.
These are high-yield seeds that I ordered from the "Longping High-Tech" company for others in later generations. How come they are here?
It seems that God really arranged for me to come to the Qing Dynasty. Even the seeds were sent to me. I must plant Mr. Yuan's hybrid rice all over China and the world.
(I would like to express my highest respect to Mr. Yuan Longping. The people will never forget it, and the Chinese nation will never forget it!)
I found several styles of uniforms from later generations on the computer, made the samples myself, and mobilized the maids and women in the whole house to work together to make the clothes. In only two and a half days, 300 sets of uniforms were made.
The second grandma was even more busy. She had to do all the talking for all matters, and she also had to receive the wife's wife.
They are all live chickens and ducks. The pigs, cattle, sheep, deer and donkeys are all slaughtered the day before. They are marinated overnight in Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) special sauce, which must be delicious.
The gilded invitation said, "Rongguo Mansion would like to invite you and your wife to attend the most fashionable Folangji BBQ birthday party."
The calligraphy was written by Baoyu, the second son of Rongguo Mansion. Baoyu said that this was a kind of respect for his ancestors.
On the day of the banquet, at the main entrance of the Rongguo Mansion were young men wearing red tight-fitting uniforms, all playing military music. This was also Baoyu's invention. For this reason, Baoyu had to toy with the gongs and drums troupe of the theater troupe. Fortunately, their skills were better than Baoyu imagined.
Much.
When you enter the house, you will find nothing but wooden clogs.
Every three young men in beautiful white uniforms are in charge of a barbecue stall. The various barbecues piled into hills exude the alluring aroma of meat. There are also grilled vegetables, and even eggs and duck eggs can be grilled. Jia Lian even
Using connections to get 100 ostrich eggs from the royal garden for barbecue, it was quite a scene.
All the male guests were in the open space of the courtyard, eating barbecue with plates in their hands. As soon as they stretched out their hands, a beautiful waiter would hand over wine; the female guests were all talking in Jia Mu's hall and wing, eating whatever they wanted.
A maid and a boy picked up the hottest food from outside and brought it in.
Halfway through the banquet, drums and music were blaring outside and eleven cannons were fired. This was when Jia Zheng arrived with all the officials.
Baoyu followed the others to the main entrance to greet them.
All the people who came were military bosses.
The master of ceremonies loudly announced, "Sir Shangshan, General of Anyuan Jingkou... Lord Le'erjin, General of Jingkou in Ningnan... Lord Labu, General of Yangwei... Lord Laita, General of Pingnan..." There were more than twenty people behind him.
They are all current or future powerful figures in the military.
In the past two days, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) turned on the computer and read up on the history of the Qing Dynasty. He was surprised to learn that they were all prominent figures in the Qing Dynasty.
The military figures did not have as many bad rules as the civil servants, so they all feasted in the yard and enjoyed themselves.
Wearing his own special Napoleon general uniform, Baoyu got to know each of them one by one under the leadership of his father.
Baoyu also took out the gilt business cards he made himself and handed them out to the bosses one by one.
This later method of handing out business cards aroused great interest among the big bosses, and they all promised to take good care of him.
Halfway through the meal was a reward from the little emperor, followed by congratulatory gifts from Concubine Jia and the concubines in the palace.
A little while later, the drums and music were blaring outside again, and the master of ceremonies loudly announced, "The Duke of the State, the Crown Prince and the Protector... Mr. Obai has arrived..."
Along with everyone to greet him, Baoyu murmured in his heart: "He is indeed an arrogant and domineering powerful official. He is so arrogant, violating etiquette and being the last one to come. He is seeking death."
Under the bright lights, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was shocked again. Isn't this another great actor in later generations, "Chen So So Ming"?
"How could such a powerful person come to such a birthday banquet? It's not the birthday of the whole year." Baoyu whispered to himself.
Just when Baoyu was confused, his father whispered in Baoyu's ear: "Master Aobai is your uncle's real biological father. According to the rules, he has to come."
"Which uncle? Daiyu's father?"
"How many uncles do you have?"
"Ah?" This shocked Baoyu.
Is Daiyu’s biological grandfather Obai?
