Chapter 44
Eat and drink
When Xue Meixun looked at him, he saw a young man standing in the shadow, loose all over, as if his bones were too heavy and he couldn't hold on. He was so careless.
It's her fifth brother Xue Run.
Everyone saw it clearly and saluted: "Fifth Young Master."
Xue Mei greeted him: "Is it used for dinner? Do you want to fill it a little?"
A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old has a bottomless pit in his stomach, and he is hungry even after eating it for a while.
Xue Run stretched out her head and glanced.
Seeing that Xue Mei’s dinner included crispy duck, roasted fish, roast beef, ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup and other nine dishes and one soup, he was shocked: “Why is your dinner better than mine?”
Xue Mei: "I gave the money, and I gave me one or two more silver a day."
Xue Run was even more shocked!
Is the eldest sister so rich?
By the way, the eldest sister earned 20,000 taels from Zhai Yuxuan last time, so she was very affordable.
One tael of silver is given every day, and one month is thirty taels. The fifth young master thought that his monthly routine was only five taels of silver, and he had to go out to study and socialize, and he was immediately envious and jealous.
"You, you are too extravagant and can't eat this in a meal!" Xue Run said.
Then he waited for his elder sister to invite him, and came over to have a meal every day from now on.
Xue Mei: "I didn't eat it alone. When I moved my chopsticks a little, I would give it to my wet nurse and maids."
When Xue Mei was about to add food at the beginning, Dai's mother disagreed.
But Xue Mei said that the more you eat, the more you will get, and wealth will bring good luck. Dai's mother accepted her fallacies.
Every time, Xue Mei symbolically moved the dishes with chopsticks, and then rewarded them in batches, or allocated half to them.
They couldn't finish their meals, so they distributed them to the maids and the little maids. There was nothing left in each meal and no waste at all.
Everyone eats full and eats well, and is diligent and meticulous in their work.
I heard that many maids outside were so envious.
Of course, there is one more envious person now.
The fifth young master watched the servants eat better than him, and he was almost crying.
"Okay, sit down and have a meal." Xue Mei smiled.
The maids set up the dishes and chopsticks.
Xue Mei first used chopsticks to pluck each dish bowl, and then started to divide the dishes.
"I love to eat crispy duck, don't slap it." The fifth young master is very protective of food.
Xue Mei: "Then you have to finish the whole bowl. If you can't finish it, I have to beat you."
The fifth young master: "Annoying!"
Xue Mei: "..."
She gently knocked the forehead of the second boy and then began to divide the dishes.
Dai's mother and others were four, Xue Mei and Xue Run were two, so she divided two out of each dish.
Xue Run was so distressed that she was about to cry, but she was embarrassed to admit that, after all, the young master was so arrogant that he would not bother with you just for a bite!
After the division, everyone sat down to have a meal.
Xue Run had already eaten, but his appetite was still good. He was growing and he didn't care about hunger at all for three meals. Not long after he finished eating, his stomach became empty again.
When eating, no one spoke.
Xue Run found that when the eldest sister was having dinner, her maid and mother were eating, instead of waiting for the master to finish eating before eating, the servants were eating.
The eldest sister became very strange.
Xue Run didn't ask. A young man like him who was in a rebellious period hated the rules the most. He felt that it was so abnormal that his elder sister felt that it was good.
After eating half full, he asked Xue Mei: "Why do you eat in the back garden?"
"I made a homemade mosquito coil and try how it works." Xue Mei pointed to the side.
Xue Run looked along her fingers.
A small iron cone next to it was supported by something strangely plated.
He leaned over and smelled it: "It doesn't smell at all, it's weird. What does it mean to smell fragrance? Don't the other fragrances smell? Why not smell fragrant?"
The 100,000 whys made Xue Mei laugh.
Xue Mei explained to him: "This mosquito is not smelled by the other person. Mosquito refers to mosquitoes. Mosquito coils are the fragrance used to kill mosquitoes. You have been sitting for a while, do you not feel the mosquitoes lingering around you?"
Xue Run was stunned.
This place is called Fuyuting. It is close to the pond and the terrain is particularly low and is wet all year round.
Fuyuting is close to the small door of the back garden, and Xue Run often goes out to play from there. Today, their classmates are going to hold a banquet in Baihua Building, and the family will definitely not agree to him to eat flower wine, so he plans to go out secretly.
Unexpectedly, he just slipped over and saw his elder sister.
He was curious about what his elder sister was doing, and was attracted by her sumptuous meals, and immediately couldn't remember Yingying Yanyan outside.
Baihualou is beautiful, with good wine, but the food is not that delicious.
For boys of Xue Run, meals are more important.
Xue Run also remembered that he also dug out from here last year and happened to meet his vicious second sister, who had a secret conversation with his eldest sister's fiancé Wen Zhao in the back garden. He was afraid of being caught, so he hid next to Fuyuting.
When he went back, he was covered in bags and almost got eaten by mosquitoes.
Not to mention the night, even if it is blue and white, the mosquitoes in Fuyuting are also in groups in midsummer.
And at this moment...
At this moment, they were even deeper and heavy. They sat in the Fuyu Pavilion, eating and drinking, leisurely and freely, without any mosquitoes approaching.
Is this too amazing?
"This thing works so well?" Xue Run was shocked. "Then from then on, our classmates can enjoy the moon with confidence when they write poems in the suburbs at night and don't worry about mosquitoes."
Xue Mei laughed: "You can still write poetry?"
Xue Run was embarrassed: "I don't know, they do, I'm having a drink next to you."
Xue Mei laughed again.
Xue Run touched her nose: "If it doesn't work, it won't be. My father didn't like literature and writing. It was my father who insisted on forcing me to study. If I said, I would rather practice martial arts."
Xue Mei: "You can ask your father and marquis."
Xue Run didn't want to mention this, and her attention was on the mosquito coil: "Big sister, you have to give me one!"
It seemed like this was the first time he called her big sister.
Xue Mei was unmoved when she heard this, and shook her head and rejected him: "I plan to sell it to a mysterious rich man for a large sum of money. When he produces a lot of money, he puts it in a shop, and it will not be too late to buy it."
When Xue Run heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.
"Is it still sold to Zhai Yuxuan?" Xue Run asked.
Xue Mei shook her head: "Zaiyuxuan is not a fragrant shop."
Although it was not sold to Zhaiyuxuan, it was sold to Prince Ancheng. Because the little prince's industries were spread all over the world, he also had many incense shops in addition to jewelry shops.
Xue Run: "How much can it be sold?"
"I sold him the incense method, and then he would produce and sell it, so he had to sell it for 20,000 taels." Xue Mei said.
In this way, she can collect all the betrothal gifts from the Wen family as soon as possible.
What she sells is not mosquito coils, but patents.
Xue Run: "Big sister, I will go to your place for dinner every day from now on."
All the maids couldn't help laughing.
Xue Run was a little embarrassed by their smile. But no matter what, eating is important.
The elder sister has too many delicacies.
She still has money.
"Yes. But I have a condition." Xue Mei smiled.
“What conditions?”
