Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Butler Xiao looked at it for a while and couldn't let it go. He really liked it.

But then he closed it again, put it back in the box, and returned the box to Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Madam Guo gave me such a valuable gift, I dare not accept it!"

At his age, how could he not know that there is no reward without merit?

The Queen Mother brought him such a precious item as a gift.

What you ask for must be quite a lot.

He didn't dare to ask for it.

"Butler Xiao, you don't have to be afraid. We are old acquaintances. I'll be frank. My Xin Shu is getting married and needs a host. I don't know many people, but after thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable, so I would like to ask you to be the host."

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't beat around the bush and played it straight.

"This... let me think about it."

After all, Butler Xiao has a special identity. His presence not only represents himself, but also represents His Majesty.

If he just went there to have a drink, he could still say that he went there to seek good fortune, but if he was there as a guest, that might not be the case, as someone would definitely think of His Majesty.

"Butler Xiao, please take your time to think about it. I am not in a hurry here. Please give me some news after you have considered it."

Zhao Yuanzhen guessed that Butler Xiao was probably going to pass on a message to the palace and ask for instructions.

"Okay, then wait until I have thought it over and give Madam Guo the news."

Zhao Yuanzhen said goodbye and left the pocket watch on the table.

Butler Xiao saw it but didn't say anything.

Zhao Yuanzhen felt that this matter should be similar.

There is still a great chance of success, and Your Majesty should not stop us.

Chengyuan and his family have lived in it for seven or eight years, and the furniture in the house has never been replaced. Taking advantage of Zhang Xinsu's wedding, Zhao Yuanzhen plans to replace everything and do some repairs where necessary.

Needs a refurbishment and renovation.

Fortunately, when Chengyuan was renovated, good materials were used, so there were not many places that needed renovation.

Li Zhijuan sorted out the furniture that needed to be replaced in each courtyard, as well as the places that needed to be repaired or modified, and made a planning table for Zhao Yuanzhen to review.

After looking at it, Zhao Yuanzhen thought there was no problem and let her take action.

Li Zhijuan went to a furniture store to order custom-made furniture made of precious wood.

The repairman was the same company that Zhao Yuanzhen usually hired.

Lan Ying also needed to make some festive servant clothes for them to wear during Zhang Xinshu's wedding.

Fortunately, there is a needlework workshop, otherwise Zhang Qingyan would be exhausted and unable to finish the work alone.

Zhao Yuanzhen is going back to the village today to deliver invitations to the people in the village.

The first is the old house.

Zhang Sandao and Sun Zhang were not at home, and the doors to the yard were closed.

Probably in an instant noodle factory.

Zhao Yuanzhen went to the village chief's house first.

"Second Grandma, are you home?"

"Yuanzhen, come quickly, I'm at home, come in quickly."

"Where's my second grandfather?"

"He went out for a stroll. He couldn't stay idle."

"Yes, Second Madam, I am here to give you a wedding invitation."

"Wedding invitation? There's another big happy event at home!"

"Yes, Second Grandma, Xin Shu is getting married on the sixth of next month. You, Second Grandpa, and a few uncles can come over to the wedding banquet!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, we will definitely go. This is a big happy event for our Zhang family."

"Okay, then, Second Auntie, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go to other houses to deliver the wedding invitations."

"Go ahead. Go ahead."

Zhao Yuanzhen visited nearly 30 stores in the morning and delivered to all the stores that could.

So tired.

Finally, looking at the time, it was almost noon and Zhang Sandao and Sun Zhang came back.

So she went to the old house again.

"Mom, you're back."

"Hey, second brother, when did you come back?"

"I came back today. I came to give you the wedding invitation."

"Is Xin Shu's plan successful?"

When Zhang Qingyan came back before, she mentioned that Xin Shu had been wanting to read it recently.

"Yes, mother, Xin Shu will be getting married on the sixth day of next month. You and father can go to the city in a few days to wait for a drink."

"Okay, okay, this is a happy event. Your father and I will go there in two days."

When a grandson gets married, grandparents must go.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell the instant noodle factory to give you and Dad a 15-day holiday. You should go there early."

Zhao Yuanzhen actually didn't want to work with two people anymore, but the two of them refused.

"No, no, it will take too long. A few days will be enough."

Fifteen days is too long, that won’t do.

"Mom, just go ahead and help us with the chores. It's settled."

"That's a bit long, let's give it a few days."

"Mom, please don't make excuses. It's only 15 days away and I still have to deliver wedding invitations. I'm leaving now and I'll pick you up when the time comes!"

After Zhao Yuanzhen finished speaking, she waved her hand and left.

We can't give Sun Zhang a chance to refuse.

I have sent out all the wedding invitations to the villagers. I still have to go to the village.

Ask the warehouse to prepare all the wine in advance, especially the first batch that was buried.

That batch is now almost 10 years old. I think it is a fine aged wine and should be extremely fragrant.

I went to check the production situation of the women's needlework.

Depending on the progress, there should be no problem finishing it before the wedding date.

Zhang Xinshu's dress was embroidered with golden thread, with a bright red base and golden embroidery, and the design was also handsome and elegant.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the patterns and thought they were very beautiful.

Zhang Qingyan is getting more and more powerful.

Thinking about Zhang Xinshuo’s wedding, it is also a great joy for the host family.

Zhao Yuanzhen released Guo Jing and Huang Rong and sent them to Xiaoshan County and Yangzhou Prefecture respectively.

Sent a letter to the manager.

In order to celebrate the great joy of the master, on the sixth day of March, each servant of the family received a red envelope of 5 taels of silver.

The cafeteria will provide extra meals on this day.

Including 6 meat dishes, try to prepare more so that everyone can eat their fill.

In addition, you can have a day off on this day, which can be considered a paid vacation.

Thinking about hosting a banquet at home, Zhao Yuanzhen had to prepare some tableware.

Prepared for 90 tables.

There were more than 800 servants in the house, and if you add the people working in various shops, there were almost 900 people in total.

That means at least 90 tables.

Zhao Yuanzhen purchased tableware for another 900 people according to the style of the tableware she had bought before.

Dessert tableware, drinking cups, tea cups, and fruit plates were also purchased to accommodate nine hundred people.

Fortunately, they are all bought with points, so they are relatively cheap.

At the same time, various sweet soups and drinks should be prepared in advance.

Zhao Yuanzhen prepared four sweet soups, four cups of drinks, four plates of fruits, and four plates of dried fruits.

Dried fruits are fine, but the syrup and drinks need to be made in advance.

If we wait until the wedding date to make it, I'm afraid it will be too late.

From now on, there is less than a month left until the wedding date.

Sweet soups and drinks are all made one by one.

There are four kinds of sweet soup to choose from: signature taro balls, bird's nest and white fungus soup, peach gum, red bean and osmanthus milk, and double skin milk.

The drinks are: glutinous rice milk tea, thick taro milk tea, peach spring tea, and lemonade.

A minimum of 1000 copies of each are produced.

Because there are servants who have to eat dinner at night, too.

The dessert shop and the drink shop are doing good business, so they can produce up to 200 cups a day.

According to this progress, if we start making it now, it will be completed just in time for the wedding.

I greeted the two shops and asked them to start production.

To others, Zhao Yuanzhen simply said that she put it in the ice cellar to extend its storage time.

We also need to prepare some fresh mizuna and tell the greenhouse to not sell any that can be kept as they will be used at home.

All the big things have been handed over to others, and I just focus on the trivial things.

The most important thing is to buy, buy and buy.

Perhaps influenced by her past life, Zhao Yuanzhen always felt that the mansion should be decorated a little more.

But she couldn't think of what to decorate with for a while.

She was thinking about the wedding decorations in her previous life and wanted to learn from them.

There must be a red carpet and red ribbons.

Flower baskets are also indispensable.

You also need to have small lanterns made of red colored thread, and some small red flags.

You can also make some colorful windmills, pull the ropes to them, and place them on both sides of the main road leading into the palace. They should look nice when blown by the wind.

There were many guests that day, so there must be enough guiding arrows.

More road signs can also be made.

The most atmospheric thing is actually balloons, but unfortunately she has not yet studied balloons.

She was somewhat unwilling.

So I searched the process of making balloons.

After watching the production video, it’s not difficult and it seems possible.

First pour the rubber juice into the pool, add the paint of the color of the balloon you need, and make a mallet-like mold. After cleaning the mold with hot water, the mold will be inserted into the latex pool. After being stained with latex, they will dry quickly. During the transportation, the rolling brush will roll out a mouthpiece, and then enter the hot water pool for cleaning.

The cleaned mold will be transported to the blowing machine along the conveyor belt. The nozzle will inject air into the balloon. When the balloon expands, it will touch the brush on top and then be peeled off the mold.

What is peeled off is the balloon we are familiar with.

Of course, there is one last step, which is to clean it again. After cleaning, the balloon can be used.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the easy process and decided to set up a balloon workshop.

Balloons are a must at a wedding!

We don't have rubber here, but there is rubber grass on the mountains in Xiaoshan County. We pick the rubber and make tires ourselves.

But it doesn’t matter, you can buy it from the system yourself.

It is this machine that needs to be formulated.

The machine is not complicated, with a rubber pool, a mold, a hot water pool, a blowing pool and a cleaning pool.

"System, I will order a balloon production machine that meets the standards of Daliang Dynasty."

"Okay, host."

“How long will it take to complete?”

"Return to the host, about five days."

"Okay, then just order two sets."

"Return to the host, okay."

The machine is now available.

I still have to clean up the factory.

There is also a factory building for storing miscellaneous items in the village that can be used vacantly, but it needs to be cleaned up.

Zhao Yuanzhen also plans to use all his own people as workers in this workshop.
