Chapter 131 Sending Dim Sum

Li Xiaonuan got off the bed, dragged his shoes and walked to the inner room, yawning and saying, Lan Chu took the lamp and followed him into the inner room.

Cheng Ke reluctantly watched Li Xiaonuan enter the inner room, stood in a daze for a while, and then turned around and swept towards the back corner door, Luo Chuan leaned in front of the window, stared at the torn silk yarn, and looked at it twice in distress.

Early in the morning of the eighth day of the first month of September, firecrackers were set off, and Li Xiaonuan and Gu Yunhuan's dim sum shop, Yuwei Zhai, was opened.

Cheng Ke and Zhou Jingran stood in front of the window of the private room on the second floor of the teahouse on the corner of the street, slowly shaking their fans, and looking at the guests who came in and out of Yuwei Zhai.

Not long after, Nanhai came back with a few large bags of snacks, Qingping, Yuanshan and others hurriedly took them and placed them on the table one by one, and the wide table was full in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke paced over, carefully looking at the snacks on the table, Zhou Jingran laughed,

"This girl, open a shop, but also open a dim sum shop, are you going to make this dim sum the first in the capital and press the dim sum room of Runan Wangfu to the second?"

Zhou Jingran turned his head to look at Cheng Ke and said, Cheng Ke reached out and picked out a piece of snack, took a bite and tasted it slowly for a while, and said nonchalantly:

"It's better than the dim sum room at home."

Zhou Jingran laughed, followed a piece, tasted it for a while, and nodded,

"This girl, no wonder she dares to open a dim sum shop, she also has some confidence, this dim sum is really good, refreshing and delicious, not greasy."

Cheng Ke picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and paced to the window again, frowning slightly and looking at the aftertaste not far away.

Zhou Jingran took another half of the snack and ate it, drank a few sips of tea, and then shook it to Cheng Ke's side, looked out together, and joked with a smile:

"If you want to help her, it's easy, tomorrow happens to be the Double Ninth Festival, you can ask Nanhai to order dozens of boxes of Chongyang cakes, send them everywhere, and then say, 'This aftertaste Zhai's dim sum is a hundred times stronger than the dim sum of Runan Wangfu', and it will be considered a help."

Cheng Ke snorted heavily, turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran, and said seriously:

"Your idea is not bad, I think so too, I just have to ask you for a favor, I will order this dim sum, I will give you the silver, so please come forward to send it, and then say 'This aftertaste of the dim sum is a hundred times stronger than the dim sum of Runan Wangfu', I will accept your great favor."

Zhou Jingran coughed lightly, Cheng Ke stared at him and continued:

"Otherwise, send a box to my aunt too, usually my aunt always thinks that those snacks in the palace are too sweet and greasy, such a refreshing taste, she must like it."

Zhou Jingran put away the folding fan, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, shrugged his shoulders, and nodded helplessly,

"Okay, I'll send it for you"

Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows, turned around and instructed Nanhai:

"You go, order 300 boxes of dim sum, just say that it is for the festival of the Double Ninth Festival, please do it with the heart of the shopkeeper, the price is not limited, as long as it is good to send it to King Jing's Mansion early tomorrow morning."

Nanhai hurriedly agreed, dropped his hand and withdrew from the private room, and ran out to order snacks.

At the end of winter, I was surprised and happy to accept this big order, and hurriedly asked Ruan Dafu to discuss the matching of the dim sum box, and the two discussed and discussed, but in the end they felt that they were not supported, so they hurriedly left the shop at the end of winter and went to the ancient mansion to find Li Xiaonuan to ask for ideas.

Li Xiaonuan listened to the report with a smile on his face at the end of winter, and felt uneasy in his heart, today's shop has only opened on the first day, how can King Jingfu know? Order so many dim sum at once, is it because the aftertaste is well made? No way

Li Xiaonuan wrinkled her brows, her face was gloomy, she looked at Li Xiaonuan suspiciously at the end of winter, and hurriedly explained:

"Girl, don't worry, these three hundred boxes of dim sum, although it is said that it will be early tomorrow morning, it is a little anxious, but we are not unable to do it, the shop has just opened, the business has not yet risen, this day, there are few people who come to buy dim sum, the back kitchen is empty, just do this, I have discussed with Dafu, I will do it carefully according to the **** night, a piece of dim sum can not be broken, it is rare that King Jingfu is willing to give us this face, if it is done, these three hundred boxes of dim sum will be sent out, and the reputation of our aftertaste Zhai will be half of it."

At the end of winter, she became excited again, Li Xiaonuan turned her head to look at the end of winter, whose face was flushed with excitement, and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say the word "no", forget it, just order it, she opened a shop and did business in all directions, no matter who he is to buy snacks, as long as he is cautious in everything, he has survived these two years and become a parent, even if it has passed.

Li Xiaonuan thought about it and explained carefully:

"The few collocations you just said are all proper, but since they are used by King Jing's Mansion for rituals, then it is best to use only one collocation, lest the palace send it out, and someone with a heart will think of something more, well, just use the first match, the lip gloss is good, the things are also the most exquisite, and each box of dim sum is covered with two layers of snowflake white cotton paper, and then cover the lid."

At the end of winter, he nodded in agreement,

"Girl, don't worry, we can save it at the end of winter, we have to make a reputation first, and things must be done."

Li Xiaonuan smiled and nodded, hurriedly withdrew at the end of winter, and rushed back to the shop, Li Xiaonuan walked around the yard a few times uneasily, and simply sat down in front of the long table in Nanmu to copy **.

Early the next morning, Ruan Dafu took his men and carefully sent three hundred boxes of dim sum to King Jing's mansion, Zhou Jingran personally watched the people receive the dim sum, and first ordered people to send more than a dozen boxes of dim sum to several familiar mansions, and the rest of the more than two hundred boxes of dim sum, simply six officials, each family sent two boxes over.

Leaving a few more boxes, I sent two boxes to Mrs. Meng in the main courtyard, Mrs. Meng ordered someone to open the dim sum box, took a piece of dim sum and tasted it slowly, listening to the henchman carefully report the origin of the dim sum, only to feel that the dim sum in her mouth was getting more and more bitter, and her stomach was churning bitterly.

After lunch, Zhou Jingran ordered someone to hold two boxes of snacks, got into the car and went to the palace.

Zhou Jingran got out of the car at the gate of the palace, walked to Yuncui Palace with a familiar way, and when he arrived at the gate of Yuncui Palace, the little eunuch came out with a smile on his face, and greeted him respectfully, Zhou Jingran reached out and took the dim sum box held in Qingping's hand, greeted the little eunuch with a smile, and entered Yuncui Palace leisurely.

The little eunuch bowed down and led the way in front of him, and reported in a low voice:

"The emperor is also inside, he came here in half an hour, and he looks a little tired."

Zhou Jingran held the box in one hand, took out a small gold coin from his purse with the other, threw it to the little eunuch, and said with a smile:

"It's a fresh style that just came out outside, so let's keep it for fun."

The little eunuch smiled and thanked him, led Zhou Jingran to the outside of the main courtyard, stood with his hands down, and the little girl bent her knees to pick up Zhou Jingran, and along the verandah, led him to the door of the main hall, and reported with her hands down:

"Lord Jing asks to see."

The door curtain was quickly lifted, and Zhou Jingran held the snack box and entered the main hall respectfully.

Zhou Jingran turned into the east chamber, and the emperor looked a little tired and leaned on the rosewood arhat couch under the south window, admiring Cheng Guifei's tea.

Zhou Jingran didn't dare to disturb, holding two boxes of snacks, and looked at his mother to share tea slightly.

Zheng Guifei carried a delicate silver kettle in one hand, slowly lit boiling water into the cup, and used a mutton fat jade spoon in the other hand to mix the tea powder quickly and slowly, and before long, a picture of the mountains and the moon appeared on the water, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, Zhou Jingran poked his head and sighed softly:

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and Niangniang's tea sharing skills have entered a new realm"

The emperor turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran, and then looked at the box he was holding in his hand,

"What did you take?"

Zhou Jingran hurriedly took two steps forward, put the snack box on the couch, opened it carefully, and said attentively:

"Yesterday, a new dim sum shop was opened in the capital, and I tasted very good, and it was light and not greasy, so I bought a few boxes and took two of them for my father and mother to taste."

Concubine Zheng looked at Zhou Jingran with a little surprise and asked:

"You know that there is a new dim sum shop in the capital?"

Zhou Jingran coughed lightly and hurriedly explained:

"This dim sum shop, is the Gu family two girls opened a private shop, Niang Niang knows, the ancient family, Er and Xiao Ke have lived a few times in the old years, the Gu family has a Miss Table, the dim sum is very good, this dim sum shop, is this Miss Cousin and the second Miss of the Gu family opened, I paid attention, let people go over to buy some to taste, sure enough, thinking that Niang Niang in the past always hated those dim sum in the palace tired, so I bought some and brought it to Niang Niang to taste, but also a piece of filial piety."

The emperor looked at Zhou Jingran, the corners of his mouth raised, and said slowly:

"Your filial piety is really a piece, I heard that the officials of the six ministries, each family has received your snacks?"

Zhou Jingran was a little embarrassed, coughed a few times in embarrassment, and hurriedly explained:

"Father, that, Erchen bought a few more boxes, and the old family took good care of Erchen up and down, besides, that, Xiao Ke, Erchen bought a few more boxes, and everyone ate good things together."

Cheng Guifei laughed, looked at Zhou Jingran with a smile in her eyes and asked:

"How many extra boxes did you buy?"

"Three hundred boxes."

Zhou Jingran said in a low voice, Cheng Guifei laughed, turned her head to look at the emperor, and the emperor "hummed" lightly,

"The officials of the six departments, almost every family has received his snacks, if you are like your eldest brother and second brother, you will send a big festival every year, but this year there is such a hum."

Zhou Jingran shrunk his neck and said in a low voice:

"Erchen is just thinking about the care of the ancient family, and wants to support the party, I bought so much, and I can't dispose of it if I don't send it out, anyway, it just happens to make a name for this aftertaste, besides, this snack is really good."

Zhou Jingran emphasized heavily, Cheng Guifei took a piece of snack, tasted it, nodded, and said with a smile:

"The emperor tasted it, it's really good, soft and delicious, with a fruity aroma, it's really not too greasy."

The emperor stared at Zhou Jingran and said slowly:

"It's okay to remember the old feelings, but you can't read the old evils"

Zhou Jingran was stunned, and hurriedly bowed down to agree. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
