Chapter 248: The Way of Banquet
Write down the name of the prescription, so that some people who don't know medicine can help get the medicine, which can greatly reduce the time the doctor has to run errands.
[Although Sister Nanxing has prepared a lot of medicine, I still think it's not enough. ]
[These prepared medicines will probably be used up soon. The most fundamental method is to find some ordinary people to help, train them some basic pharmacological knowledge, so that they can get medicine according to the prescription, or help do some simple work. ]
Hui Niang and Su Nanxing talked about this method, and Su Nanxing thought it was very good.
"This method is good, where can we find people?"
All the servants and servants of the Gongsun family have been sent out to help.
They are not locals of Tongmen Pass, and it is not easy to recruit so many people in a short time.
During this period of time doing business, Hui Niang's horizons have been broadened and her mind has become more active.
She smiled and said, "Most of the wealthy families in Tongmen Pass have run away. The remaining ones are century-old families. They have deep feelings for Tongmen Pass. They are worried about how to express their feelings. Why don't we give them a chance?"
Gan Fanren occupied Tongmen Pass. These noble families were just nervous, fearing that they would be killed as an example. Giving them a chance to show their feelings would make them happy.
After all, it was a request for help, and it was impossible to go so dryly. Hui Niang asked Gongsun Yue's sister-in-law, Madam Gongsun, to help, and held a banquet to entertain these noble ladies.
This was the first time Hui Niang entertained these noble ladies, and she was a little nervous for a while.
Seeing this, Madam Gongsun comforted her, "Madam, don't worry so much. It's not difficult to hold a banquet. You just need to decide on the menu, choose a good location, and control the servants."
"Given your current status, whatever you do is right. Even if someone is dissatisfied, you have to bear it."
Hui Niang nodded nervously. Madam Gongsun came from a big family and learned how to run a household since she was young. She was already very good at hosting banquets.
But she didn't know that just setting the menu was a headache for Hui Niang.
Hui Niang had never eaten what the nobles ate, and the menu she listed was just some ordinary meals, just inviting some friends to eat.
You can't invite these nobles to eat smashed cucumbers and stir-fried lettuce, right?
Hui Niang talked about this with Gan Fanren in distress, and Gan Fanren's nose was a little sour.
In his previous life, he was also like this when he first became an official. He was ridiculed for not knowing how to host banquets. Later, he spent a lot of money to hire a steward who specialized in this.
Later, he hosted more banquets and gradually understood this matter.
In his previous life, he enjoyed so much glory and wealth for so long, but his wife Hui had never enjoyed it once.
He hugged Hui Niang and said, "I will prepare the menu. I will write down a few copies of the menu and you can keep them. If you have a banquet in the future, please ask the restaurant staff to prepare it according to the menu."
"You make plans for me every day, take care of my food, clothing, and daily life, and take care of three children. It's already very tiring. Don't work yourself up for this kind of thing."
He hugged Hui Niang, gently stroked her hand and said, "I'm useless and I'm tiring you."
Hui Niang's ears were hot: "How can you say that you're tiring me? Our three children are so sensible. During the day, my eldest brother takes care of the two sons to study, and they go back to their rooms to sleep after dinner at night. There's no need for me to worry about them!"
"Although Tian'er can't leave people, you and my sister-in-law often help me take care of her. During this period, even the little monkey Lao Er has become
well-behaved. I am not tired." Hui Niang showed a faint smile: "I am actually very happy during this period. I used to think that women could only stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. Now I find that women can also go out to do business."
Although she hated Wan Yan and Wan Shuhua, they were able to resist the secular gaze and expand their business so much. It's really amazing.
It's just a pity that they used the wrong means and followed the wrong people.
Gan Fanren assured her: "When the infrastructure of Tongmen Pass is completed, I can issue a decree so that women can enjoy the same rights as men. No one can despise or restrict women because of their gender."
Hui Niang's breathing was quickened, and her black eyes flashed with light.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true!"
Gan Fanren said, "Why would I lie to my wife about this?"
[If they weren't hugging each other now, I would definitely applaud and praise Daddy.]
[They are so loving and sweet, it's so rude of me to speak suddenly, hehe, I wonder if Daddy and Mommy will kiss each other later.]
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. The two of them standing together are enough to make people feel pleasing to the eye, not to mention that the two of them are leaning on each other and being intimate.
Gan Tian felt like she was watching a real idol drama.
Hui Niang hurriedly broke free from Gan Fanren's arms.
"Ah, why is Tian'er awake?"
"Did Daddy and Mommy talk and disturb Tian'er?"
Hui Niang's face flushed, and she hugged Gan Tian as if nothing had happened.
Gan Fanren looked at his daughter resentfully.
He stretched out his hand, teasing Gan Tian, and said to Hui Niang: "Tomorrow's banquet will be crowded with people, and it is inevitable that some people with bad intentions will sneak in. They are all concubines, so it is not convenient for Li Zhi to follow them closely, so he can only let a few female guards to protect them. However, their martial arts are still shallow, so you must be more careful."
"If someone wants to do something bad, you can use drugs to knock them out, and then go to the front hall to find Li Zhi."
"Be careful."
Tongmen Pass now seems to be peaceful, but Gan Fanren is not sure whether there are still some conservative royalists left.
No matter how bad the court is, there are always some people who firmly support it. These people must be hiding in the dark and dare not come out immediately.
And tomorrow's banquet, in the eyes of those people, may be a good opportunity.
"Tomorrow I will send people to surround the house in secret, don't be afraid."
Hui Niang nodded: "Don't worry, my husband, I will be careful."
"By the way, I will leave Huai Bi with you tomorrow. This kid is very cunning and good at fighting. If there is any danger, you can let him hold the front."
Hui Niang couldn't help but punch Gan Fanren: "How can you be such a father!"
As expected, on the first day of the free clinic, many people went out of their homes to see doctors. The medicines that Su Nanxing prepared in advance were used up in just one morning.
Later, the doctors had to be divided into groups, with some responsible for seeing patients and some responsible for dispensing medicines, which reduced efficiency a lot.
Su Nanxing looked at Hui Niang eagerly while taking a break.
"Sister, you are really smart. We don't have enough medicine. I hope you can think of a way to get more people to help."
Hui Niang clapped her hands: "Don't worry, I will definitely get people for you."
Young people like Su Nanxing are fine, but the elderly people like Su Baishou are old, and they can't stand sitting in the free clinic for a whole day.
