Chapter 541: I was in awe and didn't dare to cause trouble
The matchmaker recommended ten people, and she picked these six, and it seems like she made the right choice.
But it’s okay to be wrong.
If she comes back and finds out that she made a mistake, or that there are people who are overly picky but lack the skills like Liu Yan who came here at the beginning, she doesn't have the time to compete with them. She can just sell it and buy again. She will always find the right one.
Qiao Xuan had already given all the instructions and warnings, so there was no need to lecture them now. She just waved her hand to call Tao Tao and Xiao Qi over, and said with a smile: "Your fifth brother and I will go to the city again today. Let's buy some mutton and grill some mutton skewers tonight. What do you think?"
Taotao and Xiaoqi's eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
"We don't have much chili powder and pepper powder at home, so we'll grind some more today. We'll also grind some dried ginger powder, cumin, and cloves."
Qiao Xuan smiled and agreed, and then said, "First, take Chunyu and Chunfen to the bamboo forest to cut bamboos. Let them come back and cut the bamboos for grilled lamb skewers. Each person should cut twenty bamboos. You just take them over and tell them how to cut the lamb skewers. Let them do the rest by themselves."
Xiaoqi and Taotao were a little puzzled. In fact, they were quick and flexible, so it would be faster if they did it themselves.
But since Fifth Sister-in-law said so, there must be a reason for it. The two of them nodded and agreed readily.
Qiao Xuan said to Chun Yu and the others, "Did you hear me? Each of you cut twenty skewers. Keep the ones you cut yourself and don't mix them up with others. I'll check them when I get back."
The six people responded quickly.
Qiao Xuan continued, "We don't have much housework to do. My mother and sister-in-law usually do their own chores. You just need to lend a hand. So, the six of you will form three shifts, two people in each shift, and help with the chores for one day. Those who don't have a turn can go back to their rooms to rest or do some needlework. If there is anything, whoever is called can go."
The six people quickly agreed.
With this arrangement, Chunfen and the others felt more at ease and were no longer as confused as before.
None of them were the type who wanted to enter a wealthy family to serve the ladies and daughters, or to rise to prominence among the maids for the masters and young masters in the future. In addition, after Qiao Xuan bought them, whether they had been temporarily placed in a farm in the provincial capital or had traveled here yesterday, it was enough for them to see what kind of person their new master was.
At this moment, they were just thankful that they had a good master who was neither stingy nor mean, nor beat or scolded them at will, and who never treated them badly in terms of clothing and food.
The most important thing is that yesterday, Madam Mao stopped the carriage and had a confrontation with Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan. Although they did not dare to peek, they heard it clearly in the carriage behind.
Their master seemed kind and treated them well, but she was definitely not opinionated or easy to bully.
If you have reverence in your heart, how dare you cause trouble?
Even if there was a vague thought of being disloyal, it had long since disappeared.
Xiaoqi and Taotao led Chunyu and the other six people to cut bamboo. After they came back, they had breakfast and then cut bamboo sticks.
Thinking of the greasy and delicious grilled lamb skewers they would have in the evening, the brother and sister became extremely greedy.
There are suddenly six more people in the family, so I have to make more breakfast.
Qiao Xuan smiled at Fang and said, "Mom, if we make steamed buns, dumplings, porridge, or noodles at home, let them eat whatever they want. For everyday cooking, just prepare two dishes and a soup for them. Cook these two dishes with us, cook more, and serve them in separate bowls."
I read the wrong time. 11 will be free tomorrow, and the next update will be the day after tomorrow.
