Chapter 167 , Inheritance
Xiao Li took Mianmian's hand and went back to the pavilion, just in time a servant brought tea and snacks, Xiao Li took Mianmian to wash her hands and eat snacks.
Every time Xiao Li went back to the old house, Xiao Li had the feeling that she had returned to the old era and time slowed down.
The servants in the old house all moved in the same way, and they seemed to have been professionally trained. As for the meals, they were also exquisite.
Xiao Li was suddenly a little curious, they didn't spend much time each time they came back, the people in the kitchen were careful in making things, and the servants also took good care of them.
What are these people doing when they are not around on weekdays?
After waiting for the servants to go down, Xiao Li asked, "Mom, have all the servants in the old house been trained?"
Qin's mother gave Mianmian a piece of snack first, and then said: "Yes, anyone who wants to be a servant in the old house can be a servant.
They also have inheritance, including the chefs. You can see how exquisite their dim sum is, which have been passed down for decades or hundreds of years.
Passed down from generation to generation, and innovated from generation to generation, this is the result of today. "
Xiao Li nodded, "Then are they like this every day?"
Qin's mother smiled and said, "You want to ask if they do the same when we're not around, right?"
Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, I'm curious how they lived when we were not around?"
Mother Qin nodded, "Of course they are doing the same work as when we were here.
Every room here needs to be cleaned, and they also have to be cleaned every day when we are away, so as to ensure that we can live comfortably whenever we come.
Just like Aunt Wu and the others who are in the villa in the city now, we have come to the old house, but they still have to clean up the villa, so that the villa will be clean when we go back.
Although the old house will be vacant for more time than we live in, the reason is the same.
If there is any difference in their work, it is that they are not used to serve us, but although they are no longer used to serve us, they still have to review how to serve people, what are the gestures, and what is the position of the dishes?
These are all particular, they want to make no mistakes when the host is around, and they can't relax on weekdays.
Only by copying a person's behavior day after day can the standard of behavior be engraved into the bone.
If we are not around, they will relax.
Then when we come, can they enter the state at once?
unable.
The things they pretend are different from the things carved in their bones. If you want to know whether they are in a good state or not, you only need to look at their current state.
As for the people in the kitchen, those individuals are even more unrelenting. When we are away, they don't have to cook for us, but they don't waste their time. They just use this time to study food.
Our kitchen! A new product will be released every once in a while.
To be honest, Xiao Li, you haven't lived in the old house for a while, and you stay there for two or three days every time you come back, and you are not familiar with the old house.
This time, if you have nothing to do, you can stay for a few more days, and let Ah Xiao take you to take a good look around the old house. "
Xiao Li looked at Qin Xiao when she heard the words, she can stay as long as she wants, anyway, she is alone now, so I don't know how uncle arranged this time?
Qin Xiao held Xiao Li in his arms, and when Xiao Li looked over, he smiled and said: "This time we will stay for a long time, when we don't want to live anymore, we will go back to the city.
Later, I will take you to the piano room in Tingfeng Pavilion. I promised to play the piano for you last time. "
Xiao Li smiled, "Okay! I have been waiting for this piano for more than a year, I have to listen to it..."
Several people sat in the pavilion for a while, Xiao Li was hungry, and cried out from time to time, Xiao Li took him back to the yard when he saw this.
Mianmian didn't want to go back to the yard yet, so Qin Xiao stayed with her to play around the pavilion for a while.
Back in the yard, Xiao Li fed Xiaoli first, and after he finished feeding and fell asleep, he tidied up the suitcase that the servant had just opened and had no time to tidy up, and took out all the clothes inside and hung them up.
The servants used to tidy up these things, but just as the servants were about to tidy up the clothes, she came back with Xiao Li in her arms. Xiao Li was afraid that Xiao Li would be disturbed by the noise of tidying things up, so she asked people to go down first.
Now looking at her and Qin Xiao's underwear in the suitcase, he thinks it's better to tidy it up by himself.
Xiao Li was hanging up her clothes, Qin Xiao came back with Mian Mian, Xiao Li looked at them, "Why did you come back so soon? Mian Mian tired from playing?"
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "How can this little girl be so energetic and tired from playing?
She was just looking at the fish in front of the fish tank, but she couldn't help stretching her hand in to play, and her sleeves were all wet. I was afraid that she would catch a cold, so I forced her to come back. "
Hearing this, Xiao Li hurriedly went to get a cotton dress, and took her to the bathroom to change.
After changing clothes, Mian Mian ran to Qin Xiao again, "Dad, I changed my clothes, shall we go out to play again?"
Qin Xiao raised the watch in his hand to check the time, "Mianmian, it's time for lunch now, we should go to the dining room to eat, now is not the time to play."
Mianmian just wanted to go out, as for where to go, she didn't care, she was also happy when Qin Xiao said to go to the dining room, and hurriedly dragged him to go.
Qin Xiao didn't move, picked up the little guy and said softly, "Mianmian, don't you ask mother and younger brother to go with you when you go to dinner?"
After hearing what her father said, Mianmian first turned to look at her younger brother on the bed, "Dad, my brother doesn't eat!"
Qin Xiao continued to guide, "My brother is just too young to eat now, and he will have to eat in the future.
If my younger brother doesn’t eat it now, won’t my mother either?
You didn't call mom just now! "
Mian Mian blinked, then turned to look at Xiao Li, "Mom, let's go eat together!"
Xiao Li smiled, "Okay, let's go have dinner together."
As Xiao Li spoke, she called a servant to watch Xiao Li, and the three of them went to the dining room.
In the dining room, Qin's father has also returned, and Qin's mother is sitting and waiting for them.
Seeing that they didn't bring Xiaoli, Qin's mother knew that Xiaoli should be sleeping, "Is Xiaoli asleep?"
Xiao Li nodded, "Sleeping."
The three of them sat down, and servants came to serve dishes one after another. Xiao Li didn't care much about the rules of serving dishes before, but after listening to Qin's mother today, she just paid attention to it now.
Looking at it, Xiao Li also saw that they were careful.
Both the gestures and the placement of the dishes are extremely particular. They are just eating a meal, but the rules of the servants serving the dishes are all according to the rules of the seats.
This is the foundation of the big family.
There are rules everywhere in life, but these rules will not make you feel uncomfortable, but have a natural feeling.
Because this kind of rule is inherited, it is not forced into your life, but penetrates into your life little by little.
