Chapter 58: Hanwha Laughs
Since beating her and starting to take care of the house, the silver that these bastard brothers usually make is issued by her, and although the food in Nafu does not need to be taken care of by the eldest lady herself, but with such new things, Xiao Chu didn't realize that Xiang Zhu would forget about himself. So after listening to Chu Rui's words www.biquge.info Xiao Chu subconsciously looked towards Xiang Zhu and asked silently, while Xiang Zhu on the side also shook his head, indicating that he had never seen this kind of preserved fruit made of fruit.
If even Xiangzhu doesn't know, then the Xiao family must not have produced this kind of thing, if even the Xiao family has never produced this kind of thing, then where can there be such rare food in Kyoto? At that moment, Xiao Chusu's heart was fascinated, and he looked at the candied begonias in the pot that almost rolled off the porcelain plate when he reached out and poked the preserved fruit, Xiao Chusu asked.
"Fourth brother, you said that you had already tasted this candied begonia when you were in Kyoto? Where have you tasted it? Which new thing came out, why hasn't the eldest sister heard you mention it? ”
This thing is so rare, if it is sold in Kyoto, I should have heard of it, but I have never heard of it now, but it is difficult for Xiao Chu to understand. Although Xiao Chusu didn't dare to boast about knowing everything about the affairs in Kyoto, she was careful about everything in this business, so she was afraid that she would miss a way to make money and lose money to support the huge Xiao family.
I don't know about the preserved fruit, which makes Xiao Chushu feel depressed, and he also looks at the eldest sister frowning with a look that is not clear to herself, Xiao Churui said: "The eldest sister has never heard of it, it's normal, because the fourth brother of candied fruit and begonia has not tasted it in the market." ”
"Where is that?"
"I made an appointment with Han Gongzi to go out to Qingqing, and Han Gongzi once brought some novel preserved fruits, including this begonia candied fruit."
Because he had already tasted it, after tasting the Tang family's newly made begonia noodle preserves, Xiao Churui was so sure that the taste of this candied fruit was wrong. After the words fell, Xiao Chuxuan and Tang Guoan's eyes turned to Hanwha.
This Han Gongzi, Xiao Chuxuan has always felt that being an ordinary businessman is not as simple as an ordinary businessman. Now that he heard Chu Rui's words, Hanwha had already tasted this preserved fruit that had never been seen in the Kyoto world, and was accustomed to it, Xiao Chusu couldn't help but keep his thoughts.
She was thinking a little bit about it, but Chu Rui was there, obviously not feeling that there was something wrong with Hanwha, who had more of this thing at home. After saying that, Xiao Churui directly took the porcelain plate and handed the whole plate of preserved fruits to Han Hua, and said, "If you don't believe it, ask Han Gongzi to try it, as long as Han Gongzi tries it, you will know that what I said is true." ”
Chu Rui obviously didn't like the Tang family's candied begonias, because of Chu Rui's frowning eyebrows, Hanwha glanced at the porcelain plate handed to him, raised his hand to take one and put it in his mouth. The preserved fruit entered his mouth, and his teeth bit lightly, and the taste had just spread between his lips and teeth, and Hanwha's eyebrows were also frowned. Frowning slightly, it was not like Chu Rui who directly showed a little dislike, and after frowning, he ate the meat of the preserved fruit and spit out the kernels, Hanwha said.
"As the fourth prince said, the taste of this preserved fruit is indeed wrong."
"I don't know what's wrong, I still hope that Gongzi will teach."
"Although Boss Tang's candied begonia is fresh and tender, it is not crisp enough, and it lacks a crisp taste when biting. And the begonia is too sweet and greasy, and it is okay to bite it down with the first bite, but if you eat too much, it is inevitable that the tongue will be sticky and tight. Begonia fruit is sweet and sour and crisp, this preserved fruit should also be sweet and sour before it is delicious, if it is too sweet, and not to mention the sweet and sour fruit aroma of the begonia itself, it is too sweet and greasy taste, it is difficult to make people happy. ”
As soon as Hanwha's words fell, Tang Guoan's expression sank a little more, and instead of refuting, he took a preserved fruit and put it in his mouth. After tasting the newly made preserved fruit, Tang Guoan's condensed expression showed a little surprise, slightly surprised and then convinced, and then tasted the preserved fruit that Xiao Churui disliked, Tang Guoan said.
"This thing is really as Han Gongzi said, it is indeed too tired, this greasy taste hides the fragrance of the begonia fruit, and makes the whole fruit look sticky and sweet."
The Tang family has been doing preserved fruit business all year round, and what is the taste of all kinds of preserved fruits is just right, you will know it in your heart after tasting it. In the past, when he was young, he tasted the new styles in this workshop one by one before selling them, but in recent years, as he got older, he gradually disliked these sweet and greasy things, and the stewards of the workshop did a good job, so he gradually did not pay attention to this place.
Thinking that these things would be handed over to the manager of the workshop, it would be right that there would be no mistakes, so he didn't taste the new style this time and directly brought Xiao Chusu and others to the workshop. Unexpectedly, he directly called people to name the lack of preserved fruits, which also made Tang Guoan feel a little embarrassed.
Although he was a little embarrassed, he was not such a hypocritical person, and Han Hua's words were answered, but he did not forget to glare at the steward of the workshop and blame him for mismanagement.
Since he met Hanwha, Xiao Churui has tasted a lot of new things, and now seeing that Master Tang also sighed that what Hanwha said is very true, Chu Rui looked at Hanwha's eldest sister and said.
"Eldest sister, don't you know, this Han Gongzi has a lot of new things on hand. It's not just these foods that I haven't seen in Kyoto, but also some strange and strange things, and Han Gongzi has also brought a lot of them to me and my third brother. This candied begonia was previously answered by the third brother, Han Gongzi brought it out from home, and the fourth brother and the third brother tasted it first. Begonias taste sweet and sour, very appetizing, but to say that it is still the rose, the taste is even more first-class, bite down the floral fragrance overflowing between the lips, very beautiful. ”
For the preserved roses in his mouth, I think Xiao Churui is anxious about the taste of this preserved flower, and there will be a little aftertaste between the words. Which of the sons of the Xiao family is not piled up with silver, only they are tired of this mountain and sea delicacies, and there are no ones that they want to eat but can't get. Now looking at the aftertaste on Chu Rui's face, Xiao Chuxuan couldn't help but say.
"Look at your beauty, I don't know what kind of delicacy you eat that ordinary people can't touch, if you really love the preserved roses, I asked Han Gongzi, let's go buy some too, and then pile them all in your room, so that you can eat enough in one go."
If he is really happy, Xiao Chusu is not unable to buy it in one go, so that the fourth brother can have a good time. For these younger brothers, if you want to say that Xiao Chusu is also favored, as long as you don't make trouble, don't have bad thoughts, everything else she has the ability to be satisfied will be satisfied.
After tasting that thing before, I did ask Hanwha where to buy it, but Hanwha didn't say it, because the two of them had a bad idea afterwards, so this incident is also called Xiao Churui throwing the clouds. Now that it is mentioned again, the eldest sister has opened her mouth again, and Xiao Churui will naturally not miss it. Immediately looked at Hanwha, and wanted to find out where to buy the thing, but who knew that the words of inquiry had not yet been spoken, but Tang Guoan asked.
"Preserved roses? What Xiao Sigongzi said was a preserved fruit made from fresh roses? ”
"Exactly!"
I don't know what's wrong with this preserved rose, Tang Guoan's expression was obviously wrong when he mentioned the preserved rose, and his look of surprise seemed to be guessing something, especially when he was guessing in his heart, Tang Guoan's eyes moved to Hanwha from time to time. Whenever his eyes moved from Han Hua's body, the look on Tang Guoan's face was a little surprised.
There must be something surprising about this preserved rose, otherwise Tang Guoan's expression would not have been so surprised, and he didn't even know how to hide it. At that moment, Xiao Chusu's heart also moved, and seeing that face gradually became stunned and suspicious, Xiao Chusu said: "Master Tang, what's wrong with this rose?" Could it be that this flower can't be made into preserved fruit? ”
This preserved fruit made of roses was quite common in her original world, but now that she was in this world, she didn't know what was going on in this world, so Xiao Chusu didn't rush to assert it, but opened her mouth to inquire. The words that came out of this inquiry can be regarded as interrupting Master Tang's surprise, his body shook and then came back to his senses, his face turned a little whiter, Tang Guoan said.
"No, this flower can be made into preserved fruit."
"Since it can be made of preserved fruits, Master Tang is also a preserved fruit workshop, I don't know that Master Tang can have preserved fruits made of flowers here. Just like the kind that my fourth brother mentioned just now, Master Tang is here, can there be preserved roses? "It can be made, but Master Tang's complexion is obviously wrong, so his complexion suddenly turned white, and the problem is obviously in this preserved rose.
The preserved roses must have a reason, so Xiao Chuxuan specially repeated. Whenever she repeated, Tang Guoan's face was always a little pale. When Xiao Chu's words lagged behind, Tang Guoan's face also showed color, and he didn't answer immediately after being silent, but when Hanwha was about to divert the topic, Tang Guoan said at this time.
"This rose can be made into preserved flowers, but I don't have this preserved fruit here."
"So where can I buy this preserved fruit?"
"You can't buy it anywhere!"
"Why?"
As long as there are things, they will inevitably be able to be bought, and Boss Tang's sentence "You can't buy it anywhere" can make Xiao Chu embarrassed. At that moment, his eyebrows frowned again, and even Xiao Churui on the side said, "Can't buy it anywhere?" Is there anything in this world that silver can't buy? ”
"Xiao Sigongzi said with a smile, the whole world is so wide, there should be many things that money can't buy." In a different tone from Fang Cai, Tang Guoan's tone was obviously a little more awe-inspiring when he said this. The awe revealed between these words made people feel even more, and Xiao Chushu didn't make a sound at the moment, but Chu Rui raised his eyebrows and said after hearing this.
"Since Boss Tang said that there are many things that money can't buy, then Chu Rui wants to ask for advice, what are the things in this world that can't be exchanged for silver?"
"I can't say how much money I can't get here, but there is one that ordinary people can't afford. Even if you have thousands of family wealth on you, you can't buy such things! ”
"What?"
The more Tang Guoan was like this, the more curious Xiao Churui became, and he couldn't bear to ask after him. And although Han Hua didn't see much different color on his face, Xiao Chusu always felt that Tang Guoan's complexion changed suddenly, and his tone was strange, this Han Gongzi, who called the two brothers as confidants and friends, was obviously a little wrong.
Xiao Churui's attention was on Tang Guoan, and Xiao Churui subconsciously fell half of it to Hanwha. She didn't want Hanwha to notice, so she didn't understand it too clearly, she just glanced at it and wanted to find out the secret hidden under Hanwha's face.
After listening to Xiao Churui's inquiry, Tang Guoan said: "This flower is not an ordinary fruit, and it is difficult to make it into preserved fruit. Can make flowers into preserved fruits, and also preserve the fragrance of flowers, only one in the world has this ability, and this family made of preserved flowers and fruits, has never been sold to the people. ”
"It has never been sold to the people, Master Tang, don't you want to say this......" At this point, Xiao Churui, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, couldn't help but keep his voice. Just after Xiao Churui received half of the words, Tang Guoan answered.
"As Xiao Sigongzi guessed, these preserved flowers and fruits have never been in the people's circulation, because these preserved flowers and fruits, since they were made by that family, have always been tributes to the palace, and they have never been shown in front of the people."
Tribute.
Tang Guoan actually said that the preserved fruit made of this flower has always been a tribute? Since it is a tribute, it is impossible to buy it from ordinary people. At that moment, I was a little surprised in my heart, and I was even more surprised when I looked at Han Hua, and after a pause after that surprise, Xiao Churui said.
"Hanwha, aren't your family selling horses? When did you change to preserved fruits? ”
When they met, Hanwha said that his family was in the horse business, because this son was really right about the temperament of the two of them, and he was always the only Xiao Churui who calculated others, and no one else had ever calculated Xiao Churui, so Xiao Churui's identity was almost never questioned. Now this matter of preserved fruit has made Xiao Churui's face a little suspicious.
Tribute, the preserved roses are tribute, and since it is a tribute, how can ordinary people get it? Not to mention taking it out and sharing it with others. When the matter of this tribute came out of Tang Guoan's mouth, Mo said that Tang Guoan's face was a little pale, even Xiao Chusu and Chu Rui were a little more redundant.
Looking at Chu Rui's frown and the suspicion he carried, Han Hua's face also showed a little surprise, as if he had never thought that the rose was a tribute to entering the palace. Hearing this, Han Hua was slightly stunned, and said, "I don't know that the preserved rose is actually a thing that entered the palace." ”
"Han Gongzi doesn't know, this is interesting, if you don't know, where does the tribute from Han Gongzi's family come from?" Xiao Chuxuan asked lightly, and Hanwha replied.
These foods were given by my father and friends, and the family was in the horse business, so my father also made friends with many dignitaries in the court. Sometimes, in order to get a good horse, people often come to the house to entrust their father, because the parents in the family are good at this, but from time to time someone gives some fresh food. Because they are occasionally visible, they have never paid attention to the fact that these things are things in the palace. ”
Bad horses can be obtained, good horses are hard to find, and a good horse is indeed a treasure that some dignitaries will get even if they have a lot of money. The Han family specializes in horse business, so can they get thousands of miles of good horses, but they wasted their minds and asked the Han family to find a horse for them, but some tribute preserved fruits are nothing to some dignitaries.
It is reasonable to get something in the palace in this way, because of Hanwha's words, Tang Guoan's expression can be regarded as relieved. Fang just almost scared him to death, and thought that this son surnamed Han had a noble status, after all, how could ordinary people get this thing that entered the palace, but now that he said this, it makes sense.
Although I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, there was a little bit of thought in my eyes.
If you can build this bridge, the future glory is just around the corner. The abacus in my heart was very loud, but I calculated it again, and after a few times, I realized that this deal had to be negotiated.
The matter of the tribute is really shocking, but fortunately, it is only a small thing, but there is no reason why it must not be leaked. So after listening to Han Hua's explanation, Xiao Churui also breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped forward and put his hand on Han Hua's shoulder and said, "Han Gongzi, I can risk scaring you to death." ”
"What do you mean by this?"
"What? If you understand Han Gongzi's mind like this, you won't understand. The food you once brought was a tribute to the palace, and the people who could get the tribute were ordinary people. If Han Gongzi was really an ordinary person, the third brother and I would definitely ask the eldest sister to be killed. ”
In a word, I smiled a little, but this smile was heavy. The first few sentences were often said, but the last sentence deliberately lowered his voice, and the suppressed voice and tone made Han Hua sink his eyes and said.
"If I'm really not an ordinary person, what if I have a deep friendship with you both? Why did you get to Miss Xiao's head, and you two will be killed? ”
Everyone in the world is looking forward to getting acquainted with dignitaries, but this eldest lady of the Xiao family is obviously very resistant. The words fell, and then he looked over, looking at Xiao Chusu, who had already discussed business matters with Master Tang, and Hanwha listened to Chu Rui in his ear.
"Why? Probably because the eldest sister once sighed. ”
"Which one?"
"The Ping family is rich and free, and there are many rules in the official family, I wish to live for the rest of my life, and I will not be born in the emperor's family."
