Xiao Xixi didn't really know how much money there was, but she felt that since she wanted the horse to run, she had to let it eat more grass.
Although these women are not horses, they still need to combine work and rest, and have rewards and punishments, so that they can live a healthy life.
As for punishment——
Looking at the young ladies who were good-looking, had nice voices, and could play the piano, sing and dance, she was not willing to punish any of them.
She even felt for a moment that King Yan and the main mission were not important at all. She wanted to play with the girls for ten thousand years.
But it was only for a moment.
If her modern memory was erased and she became a paper person in a book, maybe she would be happy, but would she still be the same person after losing her memory?
The barbecue on the shelf was sizzling and oily, and the aroma spread out quickly. The concubines who were not greedy for meat couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The first batch of roasted lamb was mutton, and there was a lot of it. Xiao Xixi generously distributed it to everyone evenly, without any intention of bullying others because of her status as a princess.
Seeing that Xiao Xixi was not being polite, the female relatives started to taste it one after another.
The aroma that smells is already tempting enough, and it's even more difficult to describe in words once you take it into your mouth.
In the blink of an eye, there were only empty willow branches in front of everyone.
Xiao Xixi already knew about their appetite. After all, she discovered it when they had hot pot at noon, so she was not surprised to see them eating so fast.
But they kept staring at the grill, their eyes almost bulging out of their heads. In order to divert their attention, Xiao Xixi started chatting with them.
"What do you sisters do at home?"
Xiao Xixi was just curious and wanted to know what the family situation of these women who were sent here to be nameless and unnamed concubines was like.
The female relatives were now familiar with Xiao Xixi, or their fear of her was not as deep as before. They felt that as long as they spoke nicely, they would not be punished, so they became bolder.
"My father is the magistrate of a small county in southern Xinjiang."
Xiao Xixi nodded, this is the daughter of an official.
"My father is in business."
Xiao Xixi was not surprised, she was a merchant girl.
"My family owns a restaurant."
Xiao Xixi cast an admiring look at her. No wonder she felt that this girl moved quickly when working.
The next person was not to be outdone.
"My family runs a cosmetics shop."
"My family runs a dyeing workshop. If the princess likes any kind of cloth, just tell me!"
Xiao Xixi looked at the clothes on this person. No wonder she always felt that her clothes were different from others. It turned out to be because her family had a dyeing shop.
After everyone in the circle had finished talking, there were daughters of officials, merchants, and ordinary farmers, not to mention slaves.
Anyway, they only have one thing in common, that is, they are all very good-looking, and they were sent here to please King Yan.
But what's the use of looking good? It was invisible before being dyed with cold ink.
Xiao Xixi took a look and found that one of the girls had not spoken yet.
She asked: "What about you?"
Everyone looked over, seemingly curious, and they didn't know what Qingniao's family did.
Qingniao hesitated. Xiao Xixi thought she was in trouble and didn't intend to ask further questions. He was about to change the subject when she saw her say: "My family is a pig farmer."
The atmosphere instantly became quiet.
One person couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The others were about to laugh along, but Xiao Xixi glanced at everyone, and they were so frightened that they immediately covered their mouths.
Xiao Xixi looked at Qingniao, showed an appreciative smile and said: "It's good. We can eat delicious pork today, and it is inseparable from the efforts of pig farmers like yours."
Pork is a common meat eaten by ordinary people in Dachu. Rich people eat more beef and mutton, so Qingniao will feel ashamed when he speaks out.
Although these people are unknown and have no status in the back house of Prince Yan's Mansion, they are still pampered and well-dressed in rich clothes. It is not difficult to understand that they look down on Qade Bird's family background.
Others were shocked when they heard what Xiao Xixi said. Didn't they expect that what they ate had pork?
Just at this moment, the latest batch of barbecue was grilled.
Xiao Xixi asked the maids to share it with everyone, and then said: "This is pork belly. It tastes great when roasted. Can you smell the fragrance? Do you want to try it?"
Qingniao showed gratitude to Xiao Xixi. She had never dared to say anything for fear of being looked down upon by others. She didn't expect that the princess would speak for her.
Everyone hesitantly tasted it one after another, and only after taking it into their mouths did they realize that the taste was really extraordinary.
It's so delicious.
I never thought pork could be made into something so delicious.
Xiao Xixi picked up a piece of lettuce, put the roasted pork on it, and said: "It may be boring to eat alone, but it tastes better when eaten with lettuce."
Xiao Xixi had personally marinated the pork belly before roasting it, and it was very tasty. At this time, cumin, which is the fennel here, was sprinkled on it, and the aroma was immediately stimulated.
There was lettuce in front of everyone. Previously, they thought it was just for looking at, but now they understood its function and followed Xiao Xixi's example of wrapping pork belly with lettuce.
Not to mention, it's really good.
Vegetarian dishes are baked quickly, and each person has one portion. If there is not enough, you can take more.
Paired with the dipping sauce prepared by Xiao Xixi herself, the taste is also outstanding.
The female relatives couldn't help but admire him.
"I didn't expect the princess to have such cooking skills!"
Xiao Xixi smiled modestly: "I also learned from others."
Fortunately, she had reached a consensus with the system on the original owner's design issues, so the parameters of the finished product were not maliciously tampered with.
System: It has good wishes. In the past, it was also for the sake of the host.
Just when everyone was eating happily, Leng Moran came to the garden.
He first saw Xiao Xixi sitting in the crowd, surrounded by a group of women, the smile on her face almost overflowing.
Just as he was about to step closer, Leng Moran suddenly noticed the fire where barbecue was being grilled.
For a moment, past memories came to mind.
Huge tongues of fire engulfed the main courtyard of Prince Yan's Mansion in the North, and his parents didn't have time to escape.
Leng Moran covered his head, pain written all over his face.
Feng Yan quickly asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"fire Fire……"
Although Feng Yan was usually a little heartless, seeing Leng Moran's appearance now, he understood that he was thinking of something sad.
Feng Yan shouted: "Put out the fire!"
Xiao Xixi was eating happily when she turned to look at Leng Moran and Feng Yan, frowning unhappily.
While others are having a barbecue, you put out the fire?
You just said that she would be in charge of the female family members of the house, and you gave her a slap on the wrist on the first day?
Xiao Xixi walked over dissatisfied, while Leng Moran's mood returned to normal.
"Your Majesty, why did you ask Feng Yan to put out the fire?"
Leng Moran said with a gloomy face: "How decent is it to eat, drink and have fun? Since this is your first offender, I will let you off for the time being."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Xixi was confused. Could it be that menopause happened again?
But looking at the favorability, there is no change, which is very strange.
The fire was extinguished, there was no way to eat anymore at the barbecue, and the sky was getting a little darker, so Xiao Xixi asked everyone to go back and distribute some to them after the food was ready in the big kitchen.
Xiao Xixi lay on the bed tossing and turning at night, still wondering where Leng Moran had taken the wrong medicine this time.
Could it be that she was unhappy because she was having too much fun with his women?
Xiao Xixi snorted coldly, since she was not allowed to eat, drink and have fun, then she could just take the women to do other things, right?
