This provoked Wen Niang to be funny, and it was rare to joke with Steward Zhang, "When the restaurant opens, I'm not afraid that these boys will steal food when they serve it." ”

Steward Zhang glared, pretending to be annoyed, "If they dare to break the rules, I will discount their legs!" ”

The half-grown boys who were eavesdropping at the door were so frightened that they quickly shrank their heads, and they played the role of diners and waiters to answer each other, trying to recite the recipes and wine lists.

Silly Zhu brought someone to transfer the fruit wine from the cellar today, and then buried it under the fruit tree, and when the guests came to the door and saw the wine jar dug out from under the tree, they would surely add three points of joy.

Dong Rong is pondering with Chu Silian a kind of dim sum called mille-feuille cake, this dim sum she had only heard people say in her previous life, but now she knows how complicated it is, after the rice milk is mixed with various colors, it has to be brushed layer by layer, which is a little uneven, and the finished product is much worse.

Chu Silian is stubborn, which can be seen in the elopement. Dong Rong was so tired that she was about to strike, but she experimented again and again, improved again and again, and spent three or four days of hard work, and finally succeeded today.

Dong Rong called everyone to taste a piece, and the soft and sweet taste in the mouth immediately captured everyone's lips and tongues, and Sister-in-law Liu shouted vaguely, "I have never eaten such a good dim sum in my life, the owner, this dim sum can't be sold cheaply." ”

Meihua also nodded vigorously, "I can't do more yet, there is a saying called what... It's just that there are fewer things that are expensive! ”

Dong Rong glanced at her appreciatively, and then said, "Rare is expensive, this mille-feuille cake costs labor and materials, of course the price should be set higher, and it will be made one day in the future, and it will only be sold in the orchard, never taken out." ”

Chu Silian slapped her waist playfully, and said with a smile, "If the owner asks me to make seven or eight cages a day, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted." ”

Dong Rong likes her to do her work with a lot of energy, these days she has to figure out the pottery kiln that acts as an oven, bake cakes and biscuits, and master the heat very accurately. In addition, her family Yu Guisheng helped make various molds, and the baked dim sum was delicate and delicious, if it was smeared with cream and painted with flowers, I am afraid it would be much better than the appearance of those cake shops in the previous life.

"Don't scare me, if you are tired, Yu Guisheng will be the first to kill you on the mountain." Dong Rong pretended to be frightened, turned her head and shouted to Wen Niang, "Go to the treasury and take three boxes of rouge brought by the second young master from Kyoto, I have to quickly bribe a few chefs, so that they don't have to strike, and our small wine shop will be built in vain." ”

Everyone laughed, and when they saw the rouge box taken by Wen Niang and put it on the table, the eyes of the three women immediately lit up. The small box is only the size of a palm, but it is a fine sour branch wood, the lid of the box is hollow and carved, and the texture of the box body is clear and smooth.

Sister-in-law Liu hesitated a little and refused, "Owner, this... Something precious, right? ”

Dong Rong took the boxes and stuffed them into their hands one by one, and said with a smile, "What's valuable, it's just a box of rouge." You think about eating well, and when you have more money in the garden, you will give each of you a good set of noodles during the New Year. ”

As long as it's a woman, no matter how old she is, she loves to dress up. The three sisters-in-law Liu saw that the owner was rewarding them sincerely, and they really loved this good rouge, so they all stood up and thanked the reward, and finally went to clean the stove with a smile.

Dong Rong turned her head and saw Silly Zhu walking in with his hands full of dirt and smiled, "Why did you bury a wine jar, why did you make yourself look like you were going down to a pond?" ”

The stupid pillar only laughed, raised his hand and wiped his forehead, and immediately beat the mud monkey and wolf by three points. Dong Rong was angry and funny, and stepped forward to pull him into the house to wash his face and change clothes. Silly Zhu let his daughter-in-law fiddle, occasionally looking down at her busy and nagging appearance, his eyes were full of happy smiles...

I don't know when I sleep in spring, and I smell birds everywhere. People who have been depressed for a winter, seeing that spring is coming, can't wait to take off their thick cotton clothes and replace them with light satin silk. The men pondered going to run horses outside the city, and the women also hated the fact that the sky above their heads could not see the color of spring.

Last autumn, when the emperor was born on his 50th birthday, he got four auspicious fruits, and it is said that the big red fruit has four big characters on it, and the longevity is boundless. The emperor was very happy, and he rewarded many princes and ministers in a row, and even Bailu Academy got a plaque written by the emperor himself. There is no other reason, it is because this auspicious fruit comes from Qingxian County, but no one knows which landscape in Qingxian County is favored by heaven and earth to give birth to such auspicious fruits.

However, in the streets and alleys of these days, there are people in the teahouse restaurant who mysteriously say that the auspicious fruit comes from a small orchard not far from the south of the city, which seems to be called the Four Seasons Garden.

Some people listened to the curious inquiry, but some people scoffed, auspicious fruits and other sacred objects that collect the essence of heaven and earth, unless the hundred-year-old trees in the deep mountains cannot bear fruit, how can they come from a small orchard? And it's so close to the county seat, so you're not afraid that the red world will destroy the spiritual things?

However, no matter how questioning or curious everyone was, this small orchard called Four Seasons Garden was familiar to everyone.

This day happened to be the first two days of the Bailu Academy's recess, and all the gentlemen and scholars were like grass growing in their hearts, and they occasionally had time to think about where to go on vacation.

Dong Ping received the letter from home and took advantage of the lunch break to visit his mentor Mr. Yang, and when he explained his intentions, Mr. Yang was very happy and said with a smile, "I discussed with a few gentlemen yesterday where to go for the spring, and I didn't want you to invite you today, but this is with our minds." That's it, let's go to your orchard the day after tomorrow. ”

Dong Ping was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted and thanked him. Mr. Yang was about to ask where the orchard was and how far it was going, but Mrs. Yang opened the curtain and walked in. Dong Ping hurriedly got up and saluted, and stood aside with half-lowered eyes.

Mrs. Yang liked him for being respectful and polite, and then remembered her master's plan and smiled, "You masters and apprentices have talked about something interesting, and you can hear laughter from a long distance." ”

Mr. Yang stroked his beard proudly and replied, "The orchard at the eldest sister Juncheng's house happens to be in full bloom, and we invite a few of our old masters to enjoy the flowers." ”

Mrs. Yang's eyes flashed, and she secretly praised this as a good opportunity to find out Dong Ping's details nearby, so she smiled and said, "Hey, it's an elegant thing to enjoy flowers in spring, but I don't know if Juncheng is willing to let his wife go to sit under the flower tree?" ”

"Naturally, if I know that my master is coming, I think the peach blossoms in my home will bloom overnight." Dong Ping's words were funny, which made Mrs. Yang take a handkerchief to cover her mouth and laugh, "Then I'll ask you the rest of your masters and wives in a while, presumably you are also very happy to go out for a walk." ”

Dong Ping hurriedly thanked him, and at the end he said a few more gossips and withdrew.

How could Mr. Yang not know what his wife had to do, he frowned slightly and said, "Why do you want to go with you to enjoy the flowers, do you still want to take Wanyin?" ”

Mrs. Yang glared at him coquettishly, and said with half annoyance, "Why can't you bring it, do you really want your daughter to see your lover on the day she gets married?" Take advantage of this opportunity to let her secretly glance at Juncheng, it is best to see the Dong family again, if it is pleasing to the eye, it is naturally better, and if it is not pleasing to the eye, she cannot be forced to be depressed for the rest of her life. ”

Mr. Yang remembered that he had secretly seen his old wife back then, so he made up his mind to ask his parents to propose marriage, so he picked up the book with a dry cough, which was regarded as acquiescing to the old wife and her daughter secretly looking at the man.

Dong Ping didn't know that this orchard flower viewing trip had not yet been completed, and it was already full of peach-colored atmosphere. At this moment, he was surrounded by a group of classmates chattering and asking, "Juncheng, how far is your orchard from the academy?" ”

"Juncheng, your dim sum is the best, let's eat enough this time..."

"No, no! How can you enjoy the flowers without wine? You must get two jars of peach blossom wine..."

Dong Ping was so noisy that he had a headache, and laughed secretly in his heart, who said that three women top a group of ducks, this man can't be clean either. He waved his hand to calm down the classmates, and then said, "The orchard was bought by my sister, and she likes food the most, so naturally she has already prepared good wine and food, so everyone just go with me." ”

"Great, come on Humuri."

"yes, I'm drooling."

When the students heard this, they all threw away the skin of the beautiful son in an instant, revealing the essence of a hungry wolf, and they couldn't wait to step into the orchard and have a crazy time.

Xue Dashao sat in the corner, his face turned blue with hatred. Dong Ping is poor, his family just bought a broken orchard and showed it endlessly, and these dirt buns are actually willing to make fun of themselves. Hmph, their Xue family has three or four big orchards, and it's not uncommon for him to wander around any small orchards. Of course, he would not admit the fact that Dong Ping did not invite him.

Not to mention how Xue Dashao was envious and jealous, just said that the two days passed in a flash, and Xiu Mu slipped out of the back door early in the morning, hired a carriage and rushed to the orchard in advance. Dong Rong listened to him carefully explain the number and identity of the guests, and then called Steward Zhang to arrange all the food, drink and supplies for the guests.

In the academy, all the scholars changed into the best satin robes and hosta hairpins, all of them were dressed up gracefully and handsome. It's as if there are countless beauties in the Dong family's orchard, waiting for them to enjoy it. Dong Ping looked funny, touched a piece of broken silver and handed it to Xu Mao, and entrusted him to hire a carriage to drive his classmates away. He waited respectfully outside the side gate of the college, and when the carriages of the gentlemen's families came out, he jumped into the wheel of the first one and guided the coachman out of the city to the south.

Xu Mao and the others saw that the gentlemen's carriages seemed to be unexpected, and almost immediately guessed that there must be family members accompanying them, so they looked at each other excitedly, ran madly to hire a carriage and chased after them. There is no other reason, just to meet the little junior sister who is hidden in the boudoir by the teachers and mothers on weekdays, even if you can't see it, even if you smell the aroma wafting out of the little junior sister's carriage.

Of course, they will not admit to such a dirty thing as tailgating and stealing incense, and in the name of protecting the safety of their sister and sister.
