Song Heng wanted to have breakfast in Qiushi Courtyard, so naturally this small amount of food was not enough, so he asked Qiu Ju to go to the kitchen to bring some food.
However, Song Heng also had a very unpleasant breakfast because he found that the meal that came next was completely different from what his wife ate at the beginning.
After dinner, Qiu Ju put away the bowls and chopsticks and brewed a pot of green tea.
"Have you remembered something, madam?" Song Heng put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Shen Wan and asked.
Shen Wan raised her hand and rubbed her temples and said, "Occasionally, some pictures flash through my mind."
"What kind of picture?" Song Heng asked.
"It seems to be a scene of me carrying a big bag on the pier." Shen Wan said, looking at Song Heng pretending to be confused and asked: "Am I not the general's wife? How can I carry a big bag on the pier?"
Song Heng looked guilty and replied: "I was not a general at that time and was forced to join the army. In order for my mother and children not to starve to death, you went to the dock to carry big bags in exchange for rice."
"So that's it!" Shen Wan lowered her head and raised her lips in a mocking tone.
The two sat together and talked for a while before Song Heng left.
After Song Heng left, Shen Wan relied on her memory to find the money box hidden under the bed.
In the money box, there were ten ingots of fifty taels of silver and fifty taels of broken silver. Song Heng's monthly salary was only one hundred and twenty taels. In the early years, Song Heng bought the land rewarded by the emperor when he was a general. The brothers who died on the battlefield, or injured their arms or legs, received pensions. The General's Mansion had no other income, and these one hundred and twenty taels of silver were needed to support more than fifty people in the General's Mansion. Moreover, Song Ziyu would no longer She was getting married in two years and had to save a dowry, so the original owner became stingy and frugal, and finally saved more than five hundred taels of silver.
This was originally a dowry saved for Song Ziyu, but Shen Wan felt that it was a pity to use the money as a dowry for that little white-eyed wolf, so she decided to keep the money and spend it herself.
Shen Wan took out ten taels of silver from the box, and then put the box back to its original place.
"Autumn Ju"
"Hey" Qiu Ju, who was cleaning the yard, put down the broom and entered the house.
"What are your orders, madam?"
Shen Wan said: "Take the money, go out and buy some rice, noodles, meat, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and come back. From now on, we will cook separately in the small kitchen in the courtyard."
Since Song Zhushanzi doesn't care, she can open the fire and eat it herself in the future! She doesn't want to abuse her stomach, and there is a small kitchen in this courtyard, but she has never used it.
"Why?" Qiu Ju blurted out. Madam has always been thrifty, how could she suddenly think of firing alone!
Shen Wan rolled her eyes and said, "Because the food cooked in the kitchen is so unpalatable, I'm afraid that if I continue to eat it, I will become thinner and thinner."
Qiu Ju also ate some of the leftover dishes that the madam and the general had eaten that morning. The two dishes she prepared for the madam at the beginning were indeed more unpalatable. She saw that the general also ate those two dishes this morning, so he must also have eaten them. I found out, but didn't say anything.
"My slave, go now." Qiu Ju stretched out her hands and took the silver.
Qiu Ju went out, and Shen 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, there was no respectful look on their faces.
After walking around and admiring the ancient garden architecture, Shen Wan returned to Qiushi Courtyard. After a while, Qiu Ju came back with a basket of ingredients. Qiu Ju first tidied up the small kitchen, and then She also put away the things she had bought. It was already noon when she finished, and since there was no time to make lunch, Qiu Ju went to the big kitchen to get some food.
Lunch was crispy duck, stir-fried pork with young ginger, stir-fried soybean sprouts, loofah and meatball soup, and a cup of ginseng chicken soup. The dishes were much richer than before.
After Qiu Ju put the food on the table, Shen Wan was quite surprised. Although she didn't know how it tasted yet, the dish was both delicious and delicious.
Shen 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 gone to talk to the people in the kitchen?
"Qiu Ju, you just went to get the food. How was the attitude of the people in the kitchen different?" Shen Wan asked, looking at Qiu Ju who was standing by waiting.
Qiu Ju said: "It's much better!"
In the past, everyone in the kitchen ignored her, but just now, they were very respectful to her and the food they gave her was very good.
"I think the general must have told the people in the kitchen privately." Otherwise, the people in the kitchen would not have changed like this.
Shen Wan asked again: "What changes will be made to the kitchen staff?"
Qiu Ju thought for a while and said: "There is no change, everyone is here!"
It seems that the food in the kitchen is still uneatable. Although Song Zhutizi privately talked to the people in the kitchen, the food has become better. But the person who was talked about is still in the kitchen! If she has a grudge, in What to do with the spices in her meals?
It's not that she thinks too bad of people, it's that people's hearts are inherently bad.
After lunch, Shen Wan took a nap, and then went to the small kitchen to take a look. She saw Qiu Ju coming back from buying cucumbers, so she sliced the cucumber and put it on her face under Qiu Ju's surprised eyes.
