Chapter 565 Butler
Because of Lin Xuan's mediation, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very harmonious.
During the meal, Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing sat at the head, Lin Xuan sat next to Lin Dongyang, Li Lizhi sat next to Zhang Qing, and Lin Wanxi sat next to Li Lizhi.
Although the furniture of the furniture shop has been sold well in Chang'an, and many people have replaced the previous tables and chairs with tables and chairs, the rich and powerful families still use the seat system when entertaining guests.
The superiority and inferiority that have been formed for thousands of years are not so easy to break.
The rich and powerful families all adopt the table-sharing system, let alone the imperial palace.
Li Lizhi didn't mind sitting and eating together like this, on the contrary, she liked it very much.
The meal sharing system seems too unfamiliar, how can a family sit together and have fun.
"Changle, I don't know what kind of food you like, so I won't bring you food. You can eat whatever you like. If you don't like it, I'll ask someone to make it again." Zhang Qing said.
It seems very enthusiastic to help people pick up food, but if you don't know what the other person likes, it's better not to pick up food.
If you put a dish that others don't like in a bowl, will others eat it or not?
Li Lizhi got up quickly and said, "I should be the one who cooks for my mother-in-law."
Li Lizhi asked someone to inquire about it before, and she naturally knew about the fact that the new daughter-in-law was going to be made things difficult by her mother-in-law after she just got married.
She saw that Zhang Qing was easy to get along with, and as a princess, she was taught how to behave as a husband and wife, but no one taught her how to serve her in-laws, so she forgot for a while.
Hearing what Zhang Qing said now, I thought Zhang Qing was accusing her of not serving Bu Cai.
"What are you doing up, sit down." Zhang Qing said.
"I cook for my mother-in-law." Li Lizhi said.
Zhang Qing was taken aback, and after a little thought, he understood Li Lizhi's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Our family doesn't pay attention to that, so sit down."
Li Lizhi's face turned red, only then did she realize that she was thinking too much, so she sat down.
"Father, move your chopsticks, I'm already hungry." Seeing Lin Dongyang not moving his chopsticks, Lin Xuan urged.
There are many rules in ancient times. Generally speaking, the person with the most noble status or seniority will move the chopsticks first, and the rest will move the chopsticks.
Usually when their family eats, Lin Dongyang is the first to move the chopsticks. Today, Li Lizhi is here, so Lin Dongyang is a little hesitant and has not moved the chopsticks for a long time.
It is a pity that this traditional virtue has almost been abandoned by later generations.
When Lin Dongyang saw Lin Xuan say this, he didn't refuse, and took the lead in picking up vegetables with his chopsticks and started eating.
"How is it? Do you agree?" Zhang Qing asked.
"Mother-in-law, the food is delicious, and my daughter-in-law likes it very much." Li Lizhi said.
It's not that she said polite words, the cooking method was passed on from Lin Xuan.
Although the royal chef of the palace also went to the Lin family to learn, but it can't compare with Lin Xuan's usual advice. In addition, Lin Xuan will cook some dishes by himself when he has nothing to do. The dishes made by the chef of the Lin family are naturally better than those of the palace. .
Of course, those who can be imperial chefs are very talented in cooking, and now they only have a short time to learn how to cook.
After a long time, their cooking skills will naturally surpass those of the Lin family's cooks.
Aren't the famous dishes of later generations all slowly researched after the invention of stir-frying?
Later generations formed many cuisines, among which the eight major cuisines are represented.
Many people think that there are only eight cuisines when they hear the eight major cuisines. In fact, there are many cuisines, but the eight major cuisines are very famous and have a wider audience.
"That's good. I'm afraid you won't be used to it. The dishes made by Xuan'er are even more delicious. Let him make them for you when you have time." Zhang Qing said with a smile.
Li Lizhi glanced at Lin Xuan with a smile, and said, "It's just right, I haven't tasted my husband's handicrafts yet, and I'll have to try it when the time comes."
Lin Xuan curled his lips, didn't he cook barbecue for you when he was out in the spring, why haven't he eaten it.
After the meal, Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing were even more satisfied with Li Lizhi.
Not to mention easy to get along with, but also very patient.
When eating, if Lin Wanxi couldn't reach any dish, Li Lizhi would pick it up for her, without the slightest hint of impatience.
After dinner, the family sits down to drink tea and chat.
Ziyi walked in, first saluted Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing, and then said to Li Lizhi: "Princess, the Princess Mansion sent someone to bring the dowry over."
Li Lizhi looked at Zhang Qing and said: "The things for the daughter-in-law's dowry have arrived, please ask the mother-in-law to appoint a steward to lead them into the warehouse."
As the saying goes, men lead outside and women lead inside, these are all housework, so Li Lizhi naturally wants to talk to Zhang Qing.
"Steward Lin, go and lead them to put the things into the warehouse. There is a separate warehouse. Be sure to count them clearly, understand?" Zhang Qing ordered.
Li Lizhi asked for the dowry to be sent over to show her heart.
And Zhang Qing asked people to leave the warehouse alone, just to tell Li Lizhi that the Lin family will not move your dowry.
"Yes." Butler Lin took the order and left.
"Changle, you have to pass the tickets now. From now on, all the big and small things in the family will be handed over to you. Later, I will ask someone to send you the account books of the family. You can take a good look at them. When you are familiar with them, I will hand over the family books to you. I will give you the keys to each room and storehouse." Zhang Qing said.
The big and small affairs of the family that Zhang Qing mentioned were within the scope of the Lin family.
Many people watch TV, and it is said that women should learn from female celebrities. In fact, although women from rich families can learn from female celebrities, it is only used to polish their temper and kill time.
Girls from ordinary families may need to make clothes for their parents-in-law, but girls from rich families don't need to do that at all.
In fact, they learn more about housekeeping and interpersonal communication.
The reason why Empress Changsun is called a generation of virtuous queens is because she manages the harem in an orderly manner internally and often advises Li Shimin externally.
In interpersonal communication, what you care about is walking around. Usually, men are busy with official duties, and these things are done by women.
It is up to the hostess of the family to decide which wedding, funeral, childbirth, relocation, etc., and what gifts to give.
Therefore, women in ancient times were not as idle as they were seen on TV, they only knew about fighting every day.
Those who compete for beauty are concubines. After all, they only get rich by pleasing the male master.
"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law just got married and doesn't understand anything. You should be in charge of the family affairs. My daughter-in-law has studied with you for a few years, and when everything is sorted out, it will not be too late to hand it over to my daughter-in-law." Li Lizhi said.
In fact, Li Lizhi still knows how to manage the family. Empress Changsun usually calls her older daughter over to teach her while she handles things.
Even some things will be handed over to them.
She has dealt with the affairs of Nuo Da's harem, and the affairs of these family houses are naturally out of the question.
It's just that she took over the family affairs just after passing the door, and she was suspected of seizing power, so she refused.
"Our family has a simple staff. Most of the servants were bought last year, so it is not difficult to manage. You take care of it first. If there is anything you don't understand, I will teach you." Zhang Qing said.
For the housekeeper, the most difficult thing to manage is actually the old servants at home.
After all, most of the things in the family have to be handled by servants, and it is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to be greedy.
Thanks Rong Ming for the reward.
