"Miss, rice, flour, grain, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, pots, pans, and seasonal vegetables have all been loaded onto the carriage."
Xu Yulan put down the bronze mirror in her hand and asked, "Have Xingyun and Xingying been gone for a long time?"
Liuyun said, "I rushed to the city gate half an hour ago."
"Okay, let's go to Qixia Cottage now."
At this time, Si Chuyu, the chief manager Chang Xu, Mo Yunfei and others had already been waiting at the door of Qixia Cottage.
"Shopkeeper Chang, Chef Mo, today's ingredients have arrived. You can take one-third and distribute the rest to the counties. From now on, I will arrange for someone to deliver them to Huayang County every ninth day. Use them sparingly, as they are very expensive."
Mo Yunfei pinched his waist and touched the two kitchen knives at his waist and said, "Don't worry, son-in-law, I'll take care of it. I will control the consumption of the four kinds of peppers within a month. Even the tomatoes made into tomato sauce, crispy tomatoes, tomato beef brisket, and tomato fish are very refreshing, but they may not last more than seven days."
Chang Xu echoed, "Boss, it really can't last more than seven days."
Si Chuyu said, "Then we'll release the tomato divine dish every three days. It's higher than other divine dishes and will be reserved in limited quantities in advance. It's rare and can fetch a high price. We'll have time to release it every nine days."
Chang Xu, "Boss, you are really thoughtful."
"When you return today, bring a tomato dish and a fruit and pepper dish to the old man and the eldest lady."
Mo Yunfei said, "Sir, don't you want to make spicy divine dishes?"
"This chili pepper has a strong flavor, just like onions, ginger, and garlic. The old man is sick and can't eat it now."
Si Chuyu has been following Lu Yuan to seek medical advice over the years, so he naturally understands that patients should avoid certain foods and eat lighter meals. He intuitively believes that eating tomato dishes is good for the body.
When Si Chuyu saw the two carriages of the Xu family slowly approaching from a distance, he was shocked. How much food did they order from Madam Su?
He ordered the full quantity from Madam Su three days ago. Could it be that the quantity Madam Su could provide far exceeds the quantity he ordered?
Seeing Si Chuyu and the others waiting at the door, Xu Yulan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Master Si, I didn't expect you to come so early."
"The Lu Family Villa is only two blocks away from here. We just got here."
Xu Yulan waved her hand, "Liuyun, please move all the things down."
Si Chuyu was stunned when he saw that the items unloaded from the carriage were rice, flour, grain, oil and other items needed in the kitchen.
Seeing this, Xu Yulan put his hands behind his back and pursed his lips, muttering to himself: Although they are not as good as the gifts you gave to the children, what I brought are only rations, and filling the children's stomachs is both simple and unpretentious.
Si Chuyu came back to his senses, glanced at the items Xu Yulan brought, then said a few words to the entourage around him, and the entourage hurried away.
Soon, the housekeeper Zhou Tong and his attendant came over with a set of tea sets and high-quality tea. "Sir, bring the things."
Xu Yulan frowned slightly when she saw this, she still neglected it.
"Master Si, you have good eyesight."
Si Chuyu smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you."
The end of Chen hour.
The two Xingyun brothers arrived late, escorting the Su family's carriage.
"Yu Lan, Master Si, why are you here so early?" There was a pile of rice, flour, grain and oil at the door, and Xiao Lingyu couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.
"Madam Su, Mr. Si and I just arrived not long ago."
Si Chuyu sniffed lightly, it smelled so good, "Yes, we just arrived, I have to order a month's supply in advance with Madam Su today."
"Okay, okay, let's go inside and talk."
In order not to waste time, Xiao Lingyu weighed the ingredients the two had ordered and distributed them to them first.
Half an incense stick later, Mo Yunfei loaded one-third of the ordered ingredients into the carriage.
"Sir, Manager Chang and I are about to head back."
Si Chuyu said: "Go back quickly, be careful on the road."
"Uncle Chu Yu."
Suningan and Suningjie walked out one after another.
Su Ningjie glanced at the two kitchen knives on Mo Yunfei's waist and asked Si Chuyu, "Has your family member's condition improved after using the century-old ginseng?"
Si Chuyu touched Su Ningjie's little head lovingly, "Your mother gave me a gift of 300-year-old ginseng. My grandfather will surely be blessed by heaven and live in good health."
Mo Yunfei was busy weighing and didn't pay attention to the two Su brothers. Only now did he see their appearance clearly. When he saw the beauty mole at the end of Su Ningjie's eyebrow, he frowned slightly.
It turned out to be the century-old ginseng provided by Mrs. Su. The old man was able to recover, and he remembered her kindness.
Mo Yunfei stared at the two brothers with burning eyes for a few moments before turning around and driving away.
"Zhou Tong, send the remaining ingredients to Luyuan Qionglou and teach Yu Tao. Let him be responsible for distributing the ingredients to the shopkeepers in each county..."
"good."
"Uncle Chu Yu, we are going to deliver chili peppers to the other eight restaurants now. Please wait for us to come back before noon."
"Okay, go and come back quickly."
Seeing that Si Chuyu was not there, Xu Yulan took out nine silver notes with a face value of 100 taels and handed them over. "Madam Su, here are 900 taels. From now on, I want 40 catties of tomatoes, 5 catties each of chili peppers, dried chili peppers, and fruit chili peppers, and 10 catties of hot peppers every three days."
Xiao Lingyu only took a silver note and said, "Yulan, I will only take one hundred taels from you today. For the rest, you need to go to various brick kilns to buy one million bricks. I also need ten thousand kilograms of mortar, ten thousand kilograms of glutinous rice, a cart of pine wood, and two hundred kilograms of peppercorns..."
Xu Yulan asked in surprise, "How big a house are you planning to build?"
"The house isn't big. I bought a large valley and a large bamboo forest from the government. These bricks are for building the wall."
Buy a bamboo forest?
Xu Yulan thought that Xiao Lingyu could grow peppers and tomatoes, and he might be going to do something big by buying the bamboo forest.
"Okay, I'll arrange for people to go to various brick kilns to buy bricks today. When do you plan to start building the house and repairing the wall?"
"I have already ordered the bricks and tiles for building the house. Construction will begin in two days. Once we have purchased one million bricks within seven days, we will start building the wall."
"Then I'll arrange for someone to buy the glutinous rice, mortar, and peppercorns. Will they be delivered to Qixia Cottage after they're all bought?"
"Osmanthus Village."
"Madam Su, how can you build a house and repair the wall without me?" Si Chuyu walked into the main hall. "Since you are building a house, it is natural to repair it well. I happen to know a master who is a house builder."
Xiao Lingyu's eyebrows moved slightly. She really needed a professional architect. "Master Si, I have a design drawing here. Can I have a look at it?"
As Xiao Lingyu spoke, he took out the design drawings of the large flat from his shoulder bag and handed them to Si Chuyu.
Si Chuyu looked at it and said, "Madam Su, how can we build a single room? We need to build a large courtyard."
Xiao Lingyu said, "This house was built next to the old house, covering several acres. There are several rooms inside. This is the fire wall. In winter, as long as you boil water on the stove, this wall will be warm..."
It was the first time for Xu Yulan and Si Chuyu to hear about the firewall, and they were a little bit unbelieving.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the two people's suspicious eyes, his eyes flashing, "When the house is built, I will burn it down for you to see. I guarantee that you won't want to come out once you go in."
Let you have a good sauna.
Si Chuyu thought that he would be the first one to go in and take a look. If the wall could be heated by boiling water, A Yuan would have a better life in winter.
"Well, I'll broaden my horizons. I'll send someone to invite the master now."
