After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Fang Tong interrupted the uncle and nephew and changed the subject, asking, "Zhizhi, how is the prince's health?"

"He's been detoxified, but his body is very strange. I'm a little unsure. I'll have to consult Master later."

Fang Nanzhi felt that there was another living being inside the prince's body, but how was that possible?

"Hmph." Fang Yin snorted heavily upon hearing this.

Even Fang Tong wondered if the prince was really faking illness? Couldn't all the doctors in the palace cure him?

Why does Mr. Zhou have to take Zhizhi to treat her?

However, Fang Nanzhi had no other feelings about his friend suddenly becoming the prince, except for anger at being deceived and a little surprise.

My family also noticed it, but they didn't give me any further warnings.

The child is so smart. If they were too nervous and reminded him to play less with the prince and stop exchanging letters, it would be too deliberate.

Zhizhi will be suspicious.

These destructive things can be done quietly by the adults.

At this moment, the brothers Fang Tong and Fang Yin looked at each other silently and reached a consensus.

Qian Fengping coughed dryly and interrupted the two brothers: "Second brother, look, which yard should we put our luggage in?"

I've been here for so long, but my luggage is still in the carriage and I haven't rested yet.

"You can choose whichever you like." Fang Yin scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "It's true, I'm busy with official duties, and I have to take care of the house and add or remove servants. You have to take care of it."

Qian Fengping didn't expect that she would get the power of housekeeper as soon as she arrived.

It can be seen that the second brother trusts them, and Tongzi is right, they are a family.

She agreed without hesitation: "Okay, that's right, second brother, the current list of servants in the mansion..."

"I'll have the butler bring it over tomorrow. You and your sister-in-law should rest more after all the travel today."

Fang Yin's expression was calm: "After my sister-in-law takes over, if there are servants who are not useful to me, you can do whatever you want with them."

This means that there is no need to treat the servants sent from the palace differently.

Qian Fengping understood, and then she knew what to do.

Fang Nanzhi looked left and right, and then her stomach growled loudly.

Everyone looked at her, and she had an innocent look on her face.

"Greetings, Master, Second Master, Second Madam, Young Master, and Young Miss." The butler walked in at this time, and the series of addresses made several people unable to react at first.

"The main kitchen has prepared the meal, and I've had the hot water boiled. Would you like to wash up first and then eat, or eat first?"

The butler looked to be in his forties, with fair skin, a medium build, and a mustache.

He used to be the second steward in General Meng's mansion. He had excellent abilities and character, and was given to Fang Yin.

It can be seen how much General Meng cares about this disciple.

Don't think that servants are worthless, they are just ordinary servants.

Who would be willing to send out a trusted servant like the butler who is literate, well-versed in human relations, capable of running the business and taking care of the mansion?

Fang Tong and his son both wanted to eat first, but one of them was glared at by Qian Fengping. How could he sit at the table when he was so dirty?

When Qin Yan saw this, he immediately went to take a bath obediently.

The main courtyard naturally belongs to Fang Yin.

Fang Tong and his wife felt that the west yard was quiet, had a well, and had two trees planted there, so it was comfortable to stay in. So they chose the west yard.

As for Fang Nanzhi, she put her hands behind her back and walked around all the yards like a mountain king inspecting his territory.

Finally, he raised his chin, waved his finger, and selected the second courtyard on the east side.

There are three rooms in this courtyard, and of course she lives in the main room.

One room is used as a study and the other as a tea room. Although she doesn't like drinking tea, she can use them to entertain guests. The same goes for her drinking sour plum soup.

Qian Fengping first simply assigned two people to each courtyard and asked them to carry water into the house.

Take a shower first.

Fang Nanzhi enjoyed the massage and back rubbing from the two maids with ease and adapted very well to the situation. In fact, Anmei took care of her in the same way when she was studying abroad.

Qin Yan, on the other hand, was a little uncomfortable with this, so he sent the servant away and did it himself.

As for Fang Tong and his wife, ahem, husband and wife help each other...

A quarter of an hour later, everyone gathered together.

The servants came in one after another and served the dishes.

The butler stood by and served: "This is eggplant fish!"

Before she could continue, Fang Nanzhi's eyes lit up: "I know this dish. You need to fry the diced eggplant in chicken oil, then stir-fry more than a dozen ingredients such as tender bamboo shoots and chicken together, simmer the chicken soup for a while, and then add some chopped dried fruits. Finally, put it in a clay pot."

"The book says it's salty, fresh, and slightly sweet, and has the effects of stopping bleeding, dispersing blood, and acting as a diuretic."

Ok?

What you said at the beginning was quite good and tempting, but why did it turn to the topic of curing diseases later?

Fang Tong was speechless.

Fang Nanzhi was already drooling. She had seen it in a book but had never eaten it. It seemed so time-consuming, laborious, and expensive to make, and it was a bit extravagant.

She looked at her second uncle with some envy. She didn't expect that her second uncle had eaten so many delicious things without her knowledge.

Fang Yin understood the look in his niece's eyes and felt a little aggrieved: "I haven't eaten it either, Uncle Yao!"

He looked at the butler with accusatory eyes.

Butler Yao was not at all flustered and smiled: "Master, don't you like eating meat? Eating braised beef or mutton hot pot every day is already very nutritious. Any more will not be good for you."

Fang Yin sighed. How could he know so much?

He used to be a fool, what good things did he know? He just thought that braised beef with soy sauce was the best in the world.

"Ahem, the second dish is lychee meat!" Butler Yao announced the name of the dish.

This dish is golden in color and fragrant, which also stimulates people's appetite.

"I know this too. You have to use lean meat, cut it into oblique pieces with a cross pattern. This requires a lot of knife skills. It can't be too deep or too shallow, or too wide or too narrow. Then fry it in 80% hot oil. It will sizzle and become lychee-shaped."

"It also needs to be seasoned with red fermented rice, soy sauce, starch, etc., and the taste is fragrant and crispy."

Fang Nanzhi tried hard to suppress the drool that was about to come out.

Butler Yao nodded repeatedly: "Young lady is an expert."

"This third dish is steamed crab with Huadiao wine!"

"Wow! This requires choosing the best blue crabs..." Fang Nanzhi was interrupted just as he started to speak.

"Okay, Uncle Yao, bring all the dishes up. Don't keep us in suspense. If you don't start eating, I'll have to eat the table." Fang Yin ordered.

The others nodded.

Yes, yes, let’s eat first! As for what dishes to eat and how to cook them, it’s not too late to discuss them after we’re full.

Just enough to savor it again.

Fang Nanzhi also stared at Butler Yao eagerly. The latter smiled and immediately all the dishes were served on the table.

But no one picked up their chopsticks, everyone was staring at Fang Yin.

Fang Yin looked at his third brother. When they used to eat, wasn’t it always his third brother who picked up some food for his sister-in-law first before starting the meal?

Fang Tong met his second brother's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then reached for his chopsticks.

"eat!"

Qian Fengping smiled slightly, picked up the lychee flesh and tasted it carefully.

"It tastes good, but it uses a lot of oil."

The others were too busy talking to hear the sounds of people picking up food, chewing and swallowing.

After eating more than a dozen dishes and finishing half of them, the family finally felt that their stomachs were no longer empty. They slowed down their pace and were in the mood to chat.

"Zhizhi, are you learning medical skills or recipes? How come you're talking so clearly about it?"

Fang Tong was the first to question his daughter.

Fang Nanzhi puffed out his chest and said, "Some dishes are medicinal, and some recipes are just memorized after just one look. Dad, I'm a good doctor. I can even treat the prince."

She looked a little proud.

Fang Tong was disgusted and thought to himself, isn't it because you have a personal relationship with the prince that they designed it?
