Chapter 155 (1/2)
”Is this a shad?” Asked a lady.
”Yes, this is the most delicious braised shad I have ever eaten. It takes a lot of manpower and money to eat fresh shad in the capital. Most of them are used for braised. If one day you go to Dinghai county and wait for fisherman Cui mengzhang on the shore, he will bite his silver teeth and swallow a mouthful of blood foam. He will also go back to discuss with Pei Shuo's father peizhengwen to see what he thinks. It's the Liu family in Hedong, which is as famous as their Cui family. Even if Liu Qingchi and Liu Chengxin are collateral branches, Liu Chengxin will marry Pei Shuo in the future, and their family will also provide support for Liu Chengxin and Pei Shuo.
Why did such good things fall on her son.
Cui mengzhang rubbed his handkerchief and got on the carriage back to the Marquis house.
The guests left, but six ladies were left by the eldest princess in the flower hall to discuss important matters.
The eldest princess is sitting in the right position. Behind her are four plum orchids, chrysanthemums and bamboos. There is a fine brush painting screen with sunny and rainy days and nights all year round. The six ladies are seated according to their identity.
The two wives from Dinghai county were also left behind. One of their husband's family was the leader of the fish market. He was responsible for the purchase of aquatic products in the imperial palace. The other husband was an official in charge of water transportation. They were ignorant. The other four husband's family were either Imperial merchants or four grade officials with real duties, such as tea, wine and oil candles, such as the sixth princess, The founding Hou's wife Cui mengzhang and the wives of several aristocratic families failed to stay.
What does the eldest princess want them to do?
”All the ladies here are heroines among women. There are female shopkeepers who supply tea and wine from the north and the south to Dali to replace their parents' ancestral industry, and there are virtuous inner helpers who help their husband with their own knowledge...” the eldest princess pointed them out one by one. Although she didn't give a specific name, the mentioned ladies have a bright face and a straight waist.
”The palace called you here to hear your opinions. The life of the people in guanshijing is much better than a few years ago, and their requirements for clothing, food, housing and transportation have been improved. For banquets such as marriage, funeral and birthday, they either pack the small restaurant or invite the cook, but the price of the cook is different. Some are famous but it is difficult to find someone, and some are extremely extravagant and wasteful, and the price is extremely expensive, which is prohibitive to the people. The palace plans to refer to the four divisions and six bureaus in the palace and set up four divisions and six bureaus among the people. At the same time, the cooks and cooks in the capital will be transferred to the four divisions and six bureaus to benefit the people. What do you think? ”
Ladies, look at me, I look at you, and my heart is calculating quickly.
There are four departments and six bureaus in the University, which are specially prepared for grand banquets. The accounts are divided into departments, kitchen departments, tea and wine departments, table departments, fruit bureaus, preserves bureaus, vegetables bureaus, oil candle bureaus, incense and medicine bureaus and scheduling bureaus, which are not available to some people. As the long princess said later, the cook and cook belong to four departments and six innings. There is a standard in pricing. Some also known as cooks no longer ask exorbitant prices, which is also good for them.
Seeing that they were silent, the eldest princess simply called the roll: ”Mrs. Li, Li Kui is the official business of the Hanlin company. You know a lot more about the fourth company and the sixth Bureau than other ladies. What do you think?”
Hanlin department offers Royal Wine, tea soup, fruit, ice and snow, and is responsible for the sacred visit, banquet, etc. It sounds easy for others to be confused with the Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy. The Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy '.
Mrs. Li, who was named, gave a shock, thought and thought about what she said in her heart, and then slowly said: ”Princess Huichang, according to the minister's wife, the four departments and six bureaus of the people are beneficial to the people, but they don't have to be complicated. In the early stage, the fruit and preserves, arrangement and incense can be combined into one, and there is no need for account design department, table Department and oil candle - these are arranged by the people themselves, We just need to register and send people from the tea and wine department and the kitchen department. ”
In this way, the staff of the kitchen department and the tea and wine department will be taken back. The tribes will go out and leave after finishing the work without occupying land.
