Chapter 605: Tea Party
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
MO Ruyue woke up an hour later, and Xue Qing had been playing with the two children at Qin Qingfei’s place for quite a while. The servant girl from the
Princess’s manor came over to invite them, and the two of them went to the Princess’s manor.
“l say, Sister-in-law, you’re really happy. It’s good that the children are older. Unlike Sister Xiaofei and l, we have a child who is dragged along by them wherever we go. We’re truly a burden!
“Sister-in-law, why don’t you quickly set up a school for children? Sister Xiaofei and I will send our children over.’
“l can do it. As long as your family is willing to do it, I’m willing to do it especially for one of your children!”
MO Ruyue thought of the kindergarten in her previous life. It was not impossible to set up a kindergarten, but it was a bit of a responsibility. However, it was not practical to set up a kindergarten at this time. After all, the people here were not like the people in her previous life, where women had to go out to earn money.
Even if she did, she would have to pay for it. Other people might not even be able to earn enough money to pay for the tuition fees. It was impossible for a country bumpkin to spend so much money to hire someone to take care of their child. It was even more impossible for rich families. Those families had children who were initiated at the age of two or three. They had all invited Mr. Xi to their homes.
Besides, would Old Master Hua be willing to let them send their great- grandson over?
“Hehehe, I won’t say anymore. I heard from Big Brother that you’re going to hold some tea party and asked us to come over to discuss this matter.”
Xue Qing also knew her grandfather. If she really dared to send her child to some academy, she would probably be whipped.
“Sister-in-law, what do you know? It sounds so high-end. Let Xiaoqing do it. I don’t think I can do it.’
Qin Qingfei felt that MO Ruyue was definitely going to hold a meeting related to the dignitaries. She was born a peasant, so she would not be able to host it.
The last time she attended the banquet at the Princess’s manor and Qin Rouwan’s wedding, she had helped to entertain the womenfolk. She felt that it was quite strenuous even after one round. She had also experienced those complicated etiquette and whatnot. Now, when she heard about the banquet, she had a headache.
“If you want me to drink tea and eat snacks, I will.”
“Sister Xiaofei, you’re wrong. There’s always a first time for people. You’ve already had two previous experiences.
Besides, your family will definitely have these things in the future. Let’s not talk about anything else. When our little girl grows up, won’t you hold some tea party for her to look at her son-in m law?’!
Xue Qing especially liked Qin Qingfei’s Little Niu Niu. Little Niu Niu was Qin Qingfei’s daughter’s nickname, but not many people called her by her full name.
Qin Qingfei felt that Xue Qing was right. She only had one daughter at the moment. Even if she had another child in the future, this would be her life. Also, Gou Dan had to find a good girl to marry in the future. He definitely couldn’t just find a random girl.
When that time came, they would have to hold some tea parties or something so that the children could meet each other, or the elders could help check on them.
“Xiao Qing, you’re right. Then I’ll learn from you.”
MO Ruyue did not mention that she was most likely pregnant. She only told them that the local specialties such as the Songhua Stone were shipped over from the Snow World Village and that they needed them to open up a market.
Xue Qing and Qin Qingfei’s eyes lit up as they listened to the plan.
They loved doing this!
Previously, they had really thought that it was a show about drinking tea and chatting with those madams. They were really not interested. If they could help a poor village slowly rise up, they would love to do it. After all, their village used to be so poor that they could not make a living. Now, every household had endless meat to eat every day, and they could even afford to wear silk.
This was all thanks to Sister-in-law. Of course, they were willing to do the same.
“We can’t do this alone. We have to call Madam Wu.
Originally, he wanted to invite her over in the afternoon, cough. I fell asleep in the afternoon. Let’s do it tomorrow.
Come back tomorrow and we’ll discuss it together.”
In the end, MO Ruyue and the other two sisters-in-law discussed for a long time. In the end, they called Madam Wu over and discussed the layout of the venue. They decided on a date to send out the invitations.
If Mrs. Wu did not agree to do this, she would not disagree.
What MO Ruyue was doing was a good thing for the country and the people. If Madam Wu did not agree to it, MO Ruyue could give an order to County Magistrate Wu.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Wu now treated MO Ruyue as her own sister. She was even closer to her than her own sister. As long as MO Ruyue said a word, she would immediately arrive at the scene.
The next day, when Mrs. Wu came, the few women chattered for a long time about how to decorate the venue and what kind of tea and fruit snacks to use.
MO Ruyue asked Su Luo when his people would be able to deliver the seafood. The tea tasting was scheduled for the day the seafood arrived.
They had originally planned to hold the banquet the day after the seafood arrived. MO Ruyue thought that it would be a special feature of the banquet to let the guests have a look at the seafood that they had never seen before. It could also enhance the atmosphere. The others also thought that this was a good idea.
There were still three days before the seafood arrived. MO Ruyue thought that there was no hurry, and they could take their time to decorate the place, Suddenly, she thought of a serious problem.
She only remembered that it was cold and snowy in the north, so she could add ice to the seafood to keep it fresh. However, the weather here was getting warmer and warmer. When the seafood arrived, the ice would melt long ago, so there would definitely be a lot of seafood wasted.
There were still some living ones left. They were all fed by the Eagle Guards with their own internal strength. It was really not easy. If the seafood was not sold at a price dozens of times higher, it would be a waste to the Eagle Guards who worked hard.
The seafood was all fished up by the Eagle Guards, and it was not easy to get them. She felt sorry for them to die on the way.
How could they waste such good food like this? It was such a pity. However, dead seafood could not be eaten. If it was not delicious, it could cause acute gastroenteritis or something like that. In this era, it could kill people.
Su Luo didn’t have MO Ruyue’s thoughts. Instead, he felt quite happy. Half of the Eagle Guards could be guaranteed to be alive. When the time came, they could be sold for a lot of money. He believed that he would be able to make a fortune very soon.
MO Ruyue looked at him as if he was a fool.
She recalled the seafood in the supermarket in her previous life. Many of them were frozen alive to keep the seafood fresh.
Actually, they could do it too!
“Big Brother, I’ve thought of a better way to not waste seafood.”
“Tell me what you have in mind.”
Of course, Su Luo didn’t want to waste it. How could she not listen?
“When you fish up the seafood, freeze them all with ice. If the ice is about to melt halfway, just add more ice.”
“How can it be that easy?”
It wasn’t that Sullo hadn’t thought of this method before.
“Then it’s fine when we’re in the north. The ice won’t melt. Since the frozen seafood has melted here, won’t the ice that we bring with us also melt?”
“Use saltpeter!”
