¡°Madam, my husband¡¯s family name is Lin, and I can cook Beijing dishes.¡±
Lin Xianyu was a little surprised by what one of the cooks said, and he couldn't help but take a second look at the cook.
¡°What a coincidence, my surname is Lin, and you actually know how to cook Beijing dishes?¡±
Lin Xianyu glanced at Chef Lin.
"I am originally from the capital, but my family fell into decline, and then I was sold here. Fortunately, I was lucky and was bought by my husband."
Chef Lin said respectfully, "My skills are pretty good."
"Madam, my husband's family name is Sun, and my skills are pretty good. I'm better at making pastries."
Chef Sun said.
"Both of them are good at cooking, and can even compete with the chefs in the restaurant. Even the best restaurant in Lemaguan wanted to hire them, but their husband's family did not allow them to show their faces, so they were unwilling to go."
The butler said: "One is good at Beijing cuisine, and the other is good at pastry. Both of them are pretty good at craftsmanship."
"The housekeeper has taken the trouble, so let's stay."
Lin Xianyu looked at the two cooks: "You two will cook at noon, and the rest of you will go down and learn the rules."
"Yes, ma'am."
" Several people were very happy when they heard that they could stay. After all, the salary given by the Dongfang family was very considerable, and they were working for the official's family, so they would gain face when they were told. What's more, Mrs. Dongfang was so kind.
"Butler, I will give you a drawing later. Try to change the yard according to this."
Lin Xianyu thought for a while and called the housekeeper.
The first thing Lin Xianyu had to change was to change the earth dragon fire wall. It was too cold this winter, so she drew a special drawing for the housekeeper, and then also how to transform the cellar into a greenhouse, which also required the earth dragon fire wall.
The vegetables grown in this kind of cellar greenhouse are limited, but they are better than nothing. Of course, the cost is not small, but as long as money can solve the problem, it is not a big problem for Lin Xianyu.
The only regret is that there is no glass here, so there is no way to build a glass greenhouse. It is not convenient to transport it. Of course, if you want to transport it, you can, but it will not be suitable until at least the spring of next year, and it will take a long time.
Whether they want to build a glass greenhouse next year depends on the situation. After all, they have just arrived in Lemaguan and they don¡¯t know what will happen in Lemaguan next year.
"Madam, your project is not small and it will take some time."
After the housekeeper saw it, he naturally knew what Lin Xianyu wanted to do. After all, this was the most popular practice in the capital, and many houses in the Dongfang family had already been modified like this.
"Recruit more people, just pay them more. When changes are needed, I will take Hong Ying out to familiarize himself with the situation to avoid collisions."
Lin Xianyu said, after all, there were a lot of people to be invited, so it was not suitable for her to stay in the house, and she also wanted to walk around.
"Yes, ma'am."
The housekeeper also knows that his wife has always been wealthy when it comes to spending money. Of course, she does not think that Lin Xianyu is extravagant. After all, this wife's ability to make money is much greater than spending money, let alone that much. A jaw-dropping dowry.
"Butler, after the house is renovated, the yard should also be renovated. Apart from this tree, everything else should be renovated. Help me plant some wintersweet, winter jasmine and other flowers."
Lin Xianyu said: "Butler, I'll leave all this to you, don't worry about money."
"Yes, ma'am, I will get it done as soon as possible."
The housekeeper agreed very readily. After all, since Lin Xianyu got married, the housekeeper has clearly seen who is in charge of the family. Although Dongfang Bai has the final say in major matters, Lin Xianyu must have the final say in these small matters in the yard. Whatever Xianyu said, Dongfang Bai agreed.
"Hongying, let's go out for a walk first. By the way, take Xiaoyue with you."
Lin Xianyu opened his mouth to give instructions, and soon Hongying brought Zhang Xiaoyue.
"Xiaoyue, come on, come with me for a walk outside, just in time to take a look at the vegetable gardens outside."
Lin Xianyu said to Zhang Xiaoyue very kindly.
"Yes, ma'am."
Zhang Xiaoyue agreed.
Lin Xianyu took Hongying and Zhang Xiaoyue out and saw a large open space behind the yard. It could be seen that it used to be a vegetable field, but it was somewhat abandoned.
"Madam, your wine is really good."
&Said: "What about this area over here?"
Lin Xianyu pointed to the shabby area on the outermost edge, and even wanted to walk there. Xiao Sun's expression suddenly changed.
"Thisthis is where the poor live. Madam, please stay, don't let those people rush into Madam."
Xiao Sun quickly spoke tremblingly. He wanted to please Lin Xianyu to please Dongfang Bai. If anything happened to Lin Xianyu, his future would be over.
"Slums."
Lin Xianyu looked at Xiao Sun, who turned pale with fright, and said, "Since you said so, I won't go now. I'll go next time."
Although Lin Xianyu was a little curious about what was going on there, he still wouldn't deliberately cause trouble for others when he first arrived.
"That's good, that's good."
Xiao Sun wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was so frightened that he was sweating in the winter.
"Madam, over there is the General Military Mansion and the Yamen. General Dongfang also has his office there. Madam, would you like to go and take a look?"
Xiao Sun quickly changed the topic, fearing that Lin Xianyu wanted to visit the slums. After all, this winter was particularly sad. After a glamorous lady like Lin Xianyu entered the slums, she would be surrounded by people soon. Asking for money and food.
¡°No need, let¡¯s go when I deliver food at noon.¡±
Lin Xianyu said unintentionally: "This winter is really cold. Are there any clues about the tragedy that happened in that village that day?"
Hearing Lin Xianyu asked, Zhang Xiaoyue couldn't help but look at Xiaosun nervously, clenching her fists tightly. She wanted to take revenge, but she didn't even know who her enemy was.
"There are some clues, but it may have been done by people from Wusun, but I'm not completely sure yet. Those people are too slippery."
Xiaosun¡¯s words made Zhang Xiaoyue a little disappointed and resentful. They were probably Wusun people. Who could be so cruel except foreigners?
"Xiao Sun, would it be expensive to hire people to farm the land here?"
Lin Xianyu said: "According to what you said, there is nothing here, just a lot of land. Although the land in the level is limited, I think there are a lot of lands outside."
¡°It¡¯s not expensive, it¡¯s very cheap, and although there are a lot of places out there, not just anyone can have it.¡±
Xiao Sun said.
"But didn't the imperial court give an order before that whoever reclaims the land should own it?"
Lin Xianyu was a little surprised.
"So that Madam will know that most of the land that is easy to cultivate has been divided up long ago. The rest is either relatively barren or more dangerous, close to the border and far away from the patrol line"
"And although the land belongs to whoever cultivates it, the taxes"
Xiao Sun just finished speaking, and then shut up: "Madam, just treat me as nonsense and never said anything."
"Xiao Sun, that's about it. I'll go to the market to check it out. You go patrol first."
Lin Xianyu also followed the good advice and did not ask further questions, but he had already remembered the matter in his heart.
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Sun was also very upset that he had let it slip, and the market was not within the scope of his patrol. Although the route could be more casual, he still couldn't wander around the area.
"By the way, madam, do you want to buy something? Do you want me to recommend some stores to you?"
Xiao Sun still said something before leaving.
"I'm just taking a look, not buying anything in particular."
Lin Xianyu responded and left.
"Let's go and see the prices in Lemaguan."
Lin Xianyu said, "I want to pay a visit to Mr. Zhou by the way."
When Lin Xianyu came to the market, he discovered that these houses were also very low and looked old.
This market is quite lively, but not very lively. Many people gather together to play cards and chat, with a handful of melon seeds and a glass of wine, and it is a pleasant scene.
But when Lin Xianyu passed by, the store owners all greeted Lin Xianyu: "Madam, take a look at the goods here."
"This is the most popular one in Beijing."
"It's no worse than Jiangnan's."
¡°Specialties from Wusun cannot be bought anywhere else.¡±
"This is the favorite wine of the Huns."
¡¡
There are all kinds of goods that seem to be for sale everywhere, but Lin Xianyu can tell with just one glance that these things cannot be called fakes, they can only be said to be of inferior quality or not top quality at all as they said.
There are also some daily necessities for buying and selling nearby, such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. If they are available locally in Lemaguan, the price can be said to be quite low, but if they are sent in from outside, the price is quite high.
Lin Xianyu even saw a small shop selling apples, which really surprised Lin Xianyu. Of course, the price was also staggering.
