Chapter 90
"Don't think that people are too bad. Try it with a silver needle and you will know if it is poisonous?" The eldest lady asked the maid next to her to take out the silver needle and test it to see if it is poisonous.
Their rich families will be very particular about what they eat. Rich people are the most precious, so they will be more particular about the food they eat and use. Of course, they are also afraid that their opponents will do harm to them.
What's more, they are afraid that bandits will mix in or some people will cause trouble, so every day the host will test the food to see if it is poisonous before eating it.
Especially the eldest lady, she is in charge of the housekeeping of a family. She is very careful about the food of her husband and sons. It is not that there are no fights in the big family, their family also has them.
The eldest lady said this. Everyone waited quietly and tested the poison out of caution. They felt in their hearts that it was nonsense to think that people from the Li family gave away poisonous things.
The maid took out the silver needle from the box, tested it in the earthen jar, and then picked up the silver needle.
"Madam, honey is not poisonous."
The young mistress heard and saw it, and asked Ju Feng, the maid next to her, to get her some honey water to drink.
Ju Feng was still worried and whispered in her ear: "I don't know if there is any abortion stuff in the honey, so I'd better be cautious, young lady."
"This...okay!" Mrs. Tang was a little worried and endured the sweet taste without drinking the honey water.
The eldest lady asked the maid to prepare some honey water for her husband, son, and her to drink, add some chrysanthemums to make tea, and honey sugar.
The maid heard about it and went to do it. Of course the butler also got the same treatment. Honey was added to the chrysanthemum, which gave it a rich floral fragrance.
When Mrs. Tang smelled this smell, she couldn't bear it and wanted to drink it.
"It tastes good..." Mr. Tang took a sip of chrysanthemum tea. Chrysanthemum tea with honey is really delicious.
I have never tasted such good chrysanthemum tea before. It must be because the honey is too pure.
"Jinhua, make some honey and let the kitchen make some pastries, quickly..." The eldest lady felt that her eyes were a little misty after drinking this chrysanthemum tea, which had a strong curative effect.
After drinking chrysanthemum tea, I feel like the doctor said that drinking chrysanthemum tea will stimulate body fluids and improve eyesight.
I felt very tired before, and women's hidden diseases have always been with me. Even after seeing the doctor, I felt very comfortable after drinking chrysanthemum tea.
She knew it was not the chrysanthemum, but the honey.
The honey in this earthen jar feels like a treasure. Honey can not only be brewed into tea, but can also be made into pastries, which can nourish the body.
The maid took a clean bowl, poured a little honey from it, and asked someone to put the bowl of honey into the kitchen to make pastries.
Of course, not everyone can taste this bowl of pastry made with honey.
There are so many people in the Tang Dynasty, how can everyone have something to eat?
Masters are also divided into high and low, not to mention that servants cannot eat the good food from the master's house.
Mr. Tang drank a cup of chrysanthemum tea and felt that some of the underlying illnesses in his body were relieved. After drinking a cup, he wanted to drink another cup and asked the maid to make another chrysanthemum tea for him.
Young Master Tang drank a cup of chrysanthemum tea and asked the maid to make another cup for him. He glanced at his wife and felt that he was too worried about this and that, and his thoughts about wanting to drink and being afraid were really unnecessary.
When Mrs. Tang saw everyone drinking chrysanthemum tea, she felt nothing had happened, as if she had eaten something good and wanted to eat it again.
She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and glared at Ju Feng accusingly.
Jufeng felt wronged by being glared at by the young mistress. She was doing this for the good of the young mistress. Isn't it normal for the things sent by the Li family to prevent them from poisoning?
At this time, Mrs. Tang was too embarrassed to ask the maid to make tea for her, and just sat there sulking.
After Mr. Tang drank two cups of tea, he remembered his son's toys, stood up and opened the toy box.
Seeing the appearance of the wooden toys inside, his eyes lit up and he said, "Butler, are the toys inside really carved by the doll that is only a few months old?"
"I heard that some of the small toys were made by Mr. Li, and others were carved by Mr. Li. They were all given to the young master by the little girl who was only more than four months old."
As soon as the butler finished speaking, Mr. Tang, who could resist his curiosity, stood up and came to his son's side to look at the toys.
"It's so special. Such a design, carved like real animals, and those little wooden figures. Is that a statue of a god? Is this one a statue of a fairy?"
When Mr. Tang said folding, he picked them up one by one and looked at them, allowing everyone to see the wooden toys in his hands.
"Reporting back to the master, Mr. Li has been carving some wooden Bodhisattvas during this time. During this time, they were all in his own village, and people from other villages came to buy them. The wooden Bodhisattvas he carved looked very precious, but it was a pity that they were ordinary.
They are carved from wood and sold very cheaply.”
The steward's words made the eyes of the father and son businessmen shine. Even though the price of making these items was not high, they could still make money. They not only sold the items in the county, but also transported them by water and land to all parts of the country.
They will also import some goods from all over the country to sell here, and they even have business going to the neighboring countries. They will transport their goods to neighboring countries, and then transport their goods to the neighboring countries. They will organize some convoys.
The convoy only makes a few trips every year.
The waterway can only be used twice a year to transport silk and various products from their industry overseas.
"Well, let's find good wood and let Mr. Li carve it into objects. There will definitely be a market. Butler, tomorrow you go recruit Mr. Li to work here in the county. The Chinese New Year will be coming soon, and there will be a market for selling wooden Bodhisattvas.
.”
Mr. Tang thought about this problem and immediately hired someone to do it if he could make money.
"Steward, let's invite Mr. Li to come to the county to do work. The price will be higher. Depending on how many carvings they can make in a day, the labor cost will be increased." Young Master Tang added.
"Master, young master, when I saw these toys, I also thought of inviting the man surnamed Ye to come and work in our wood factory, but he refused, saying that the dolls at home were too small, and the family didn't care about the dolls because he had brought them up.
The youngest baby, if he comes to the county town, he won’t rest assured that his family’s baby is at home.”
"This...is not easy to handle...his family's situation is special."
They also heard about the situation of the Li family. Master Tang and Young Master Tang hesitated.
"Husband, why don't you take his dolls to the factory? He works in the wood factory and the dolls live in his single dormitory."
The eldest lady thought of this trick.
"I'm afraid this won't work either. I heard that his sister will get married soon, and it's almost the New Year." The housekeeper added.
"My young master has a way to get the best of both worlds. First, let someone transport some good wood to his house. We will produce the wood and then pay him for the things he makes."
