Shen Yi sighed sadly, but he didn't hide it from Lu Tong, "It's Dr. Li. I have a very good relationship with him. Dr. Zhou in the county once studied medicine with Dr. Li. After Dr. Li fell ill, Dr. Zhou went to visit him and mentioned that Cen Mingzhu's condition.
I guess the reason why Dr. Zhou mentioned this is that he is worried about Cen Mingzhu's condition. After all, treating a noble person can easily lead to illness if you are not careful. He came to seek help from his master because he felt uneasy. He didn't know that we were looking at the Zhu family. It was an accident. "
Lu Tong was convinced, "It has to be you! Yun Dao even scared me!"
Shen Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Master Lu, please stop making fun of me."
The two of them made a tacit understanding and didn't mention the Zhu family again.
Lu Tong was in a good mood as he talked about the county government's arrangements for the end of the year.
The imperial court has clear regulations on the time for seal opening, but small places can adjust it according to local conditions and do not have to follow the imperial court's arrangements.
Shen Yi negotiated with him before going home until evening.
Seeing that Shen Yuezhang and Su Tai were busy counting the New Year gifts for each family, they just smiled and didn't ask any questions.
Everyone was busy in the next few days. Until the day before New Year's Eve, Shen Yi and Lu Tong took leave in advance and took his wife and daughter out of the city to go home.
In the evening, Murong Jue came to Qingfengzhai again, and saw Alan and Chuncao just about to close the shop. They were holding a "Closed for the New Year" sign in their hands and prepared to hang it by the door.
"The shop is closed?"
Murong Jue's faint voice startled the two of them, and they quickly turned around and saluted respectfully.
"Go back to the young master, my master has gone home to celebrate the New Year, and the two servants stayed to clean up. They will leave early tomorrow morning. Before leaving, the master left a New Year gift for the young master and ordered the two slaves to deliver it."
I don’t know why, but Alan is particularly scared every time he faces Murong Jue, and he is also cautious when speaking, for fear of saying a word wrong.
"She also left me a New Year's gift? What is it?"
Alan heard Murong Jue's joy, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly invited them into the shop.
She and Chuncao ran to the backyard.
After a while, the two of them stumbled over from the backyard carrying the box.
Xue Mao and Xue Xiang immediately stepped forward to help.
"Hey! Master, this thing is quite heavy!" Xue Xiang shouted curiously.
Alan said weakly: "There are several boxes behind."
Xue Xiang couldn't laugh anymore.
Murong Jue's smile faded and he frowned slightly. There was no emotion in his voice, "Go and lift it out."
Xue Mao and Xue Xiang immediately followed.
The two of them carried a total of eight boxes.
Murong Jue was extremely disappointed in her heart. She thought that Shen Yuezhang was different from others, but she didn’t expect that she would be so snobbish, fawning over him so much because she knew that he had an unusual status!
Xue Mao asked weakly: "What are the things in here?"
Alan quickly replied: "It's seafood."
Have you seen Murong Jue? She said something, and she became more and more uneasy. She swallowed her saliva fiercely, and continued tremblingly: "It's the shop. As a return gift for the guest, as long as he spends more than one hundred taels in the shop this year, Qingfengzhai will give the guest two yellow croakers, two pomfrets, and two pieces of sashimi; if he exceeds five hundred taels, in addition to the previous items, he will also Two sashimi, two hairtails, two boxes of large prawns and some squid.
If it exceeds one thousand taels, the gift will be doubled. There is a difference between one thousand taels, two thousand taels, and three thousand taels. The amount of money that the young master spent in our Qingfengzhai is really too much, far exceeding the standard for ordinary guests, so my master made these arrangements after considering it. , if the young master doesn’t like it, the slave will go back and report to the master tomorrow. ""No! That's it! "
As soon as Murong Jue spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and the alarm was lifted!
Chun Cao hurriedly brought over the sauce for cooking seafood, "These are for cooking seafood. If you want to use it, you can let the cook arrange it yourself when you return. "
Murong Jue waved his hand, and the guards from outside came in one after another to carry the seafood away.
Murong Jue, who got on the carriage, glanced at the shop of Qingfengzhai and lowered the curtain.
Xue Mao on the side muttered: "Master, I don't know how smart this little boss is. He does things so thoughtfully at a young age and even gives New Year's gifts to his guests! No wonder the business is so prosperous."< br >
"Yes." Murong Jue responded happily, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Originally, I thought Shen Yuezhang guessed that I had a different identity and wanted to please me, but I didn't expect it was seafood!"
Xue Mao grinned, "I heard that the Cheng family in Shen County is engaged in seafood trading. Even the servants in the family buy it from Qiongzi. This seafood is expensive to outsiders, but it is probably nothing to the Shen family. , the little boss took it from It’s understandable to give something back to the guests.”
Murong Jue thought so too, but she felt a little unhappy in her heart. After all, she was also her most distinguished guest, so she should be more special to him!
The group returned to the garrison compound in the old city.
Murong Jue couldn't wait to let Xue Mao open those boxes.
The eight boxes each contain eight kinds of seafood, including sashimi, large yellow croaker, turbot, hairtail, prawn, pomfret, sequoia, and squid.
There is a piece of oil paper on each box, which introduces the types of seafood and the cleaning and cooking methods.
Xue Mao immediately became happy, "Master, you are indeed a small boss, and you are very considerate in everything you do. Would you like me to send it to the kitchen now and prepare a seafood feast for the master right away!"
< br>
Murong Jue readily agreed.
Faint expectations.
After waiting for the food to be served, I didn’t know if the chef didn’t know how to cook seafood. The food looked good, but it tasted very fishy, and the sashimi could only be eaten with the sauce.
But Shen Yuezhang had prepared the sauce in advance.
In other words, the cook played no role at all!
"What a waste of good stuff!" Murong Jue was very angry.
Xue Xiang hurriedly comforted him: "Master, I don't blame the cook, he is a cook from the military camp. You can't expect him to be as good as the chefs in the big restaurants. Besides! We in Langya will cook seafood. There are not many cooks there, and there are probably not even two in the entire Zhaohua County. "
The reason is so good, but you have everything in your hands, so you can't just waste it.
Murong Jue was very depressed.
As a foodie, Xue Mao did not want to waste a good thing, so he immediately suggested: "Master, how about we go to the Cheng family in Shen County to celebrate the New Year?"
Murong Jue suddenly raised his head and looked at Xue Mao.
Xue Xiang was shocked, "Xue Mao! You are so shameless! Just for a bite to eat? Aren't you afraid of being kicked out by Shen County Cheng when you are celebrating the New Year?"
"What are you afraid of! I'm the leader of the garrison! I'm going to the Shen family to celebrate the New Year, and Shen Yi has to treat us respectfully! Besides, I'm not the only one who wants to do that!" Xue Mao was shameless and confident.
Xue Xiang looked at Murong Jue subconsciously.
Murong Jue said expressionlessly, "Xue Mao is right, we can't waste good things, that's it! Bring the seafood to Master Shen!"
Xue Xiang: "."
"No! No! Do you know where Mr. Shen's family is?" (End of this chapter)
