Chapter 27: Red Bean Fragrance
When he returned to the house in the evening, Jing Su counted the water he bought late at night, copied it down and went to Xi Mo's main room, Gu Beijun was not here today, and it didn't matter if Jing Su went later. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Did my sister-in-law sleep?"
Jing Su asked about the spring leaves and summer flowers at the door.
"No, the lamp is still burning in the lady's house, Miss Jing, go into the house."
Spring leaves and summer flowers invited Jing Su to the outhouse.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you bathing? Can I get in? ”
"Come in."
Xi Mo beckoned people in, and Jing Su saw Xi Mo sitting on a bed next to the desk, sewing something seriously with a needle and thread.
"Sister-in-law, why is there a bed here?"
The master bedroom is an ensuite inside and out, with a desk and main hall on the outside and a bedroom on the inside. Jing Su saw that the Arhat bed where Xi Mo was sitting was neatly covered with futons, and there was a man's clothes on the quilt.
"Ah, the lord sleeps here."
Xi Mo was a little embarrassed.
"The lord is so pitiful, he sleeps outside here every day, sister-in-law, have you ever slept in an Arhat bed, the back of the man hurts."
"He sleeps here occasionally, but not often."
"Outsiders only think that the lord is a god-like figure, but I didn't expect that his status at home is a rake ear, hehe. By the way, sister-in-law, what are you sewing? ”
Jing Su spoke playfully and directly, Xi Mo didn't hate her like this.
"This is called a mask, and I sewed it up for Lan Lan."
It turned out that seeing Chen Lan suffering in a closed small kitchen during the day, Xi Mo was a little unbearable, afraid that it would hurt the child's lungs for a long time, so she wanted to sew a mask herself to reduce the soot from entering her mouth and nose.
"Is it that Chen Lan in the store? I think that child is also good, can talk and do things, and is diligent, but ah, she receives a lot of money a month. I heard that some guests specially asked her to serve the food and pour the wine, and the reward was also soft. ”
"The pay and return are the same, and such a good seedling should be watered well."
Xi Mo didn't take it seriously and continued to do the work in her hands.
"By the way, you came back early today, and in the evening, the military master of Yucheng Mansion came, saying that the birthday banquet of the mother of the county order next month was supposed to order our family's dessert, but it was not decided."
"Not sure? Why? ”
Xi Mo was startled, and her hand trembled and pierced the needle into the flesh.
"Sss
"What's wrong sister-in-law, you slow down."
Jing Su hurriedly took the mask aside and squeezed the blood on Xi Mo's fingers out.
"I'm fine, you say it quickly, why don't you want our red bean dumplings, that dessert is the signature of Shitongtian, it is my secret recipe, obviously the county order said that I like that dessert very much, why don't you want it suddenly."
Xi Mo was a little anxious. The county ordered the mother to do her birthday, and the county ordered hundreds of copies, this is an unprecedented delivery business, how to say that if you don't do it, you won't do it.
"The military master only said that the county order found a better dessert."
"A better dessert?"
Xi Mo frowned and sat there thinking. Because of the lack of development of Gu Dynasty's society, there are not many desserts themselves, and there are only a few restaurants made of exquisite and meticulous desserts, Xi Mo is generally clear, she asked Gu Beijun before, he admitted in person after eating red bean dumplings, but the entire Jade City can't find a second dessert comparable to red bean dumplings.
"Su Su, have you ever asked what the name of the newly ordered dessert is in the county government?"
"Called... Red bean incense. ”
Red beans are fragrant, it sounds like a very elegant name, and she has an appetite for this red bean dumpling, but the same main material is red beans, which makes Xi Mo have a bad premonition in her heart, could it be plagiarism?
When she thought of plagiarism, the first thing she thought of was Yu Tianxiang. This morning, she just found out that Yu Tianxiang next to her had learned to eat Tongtian and also set up a shed outside for tasting, she was a little angry, but there was no leaky wall in this transaction, and it was common for others to learn from the past. But this dessert is different, if it is the same production process as red bean dumplings but with a different name, and it openly steals business, isn't it too much?
Xi Mo decided to go to Yu Tianxiang tomorrow to see if the red bean incense also came from there.
Early the next morning, after dressing up a little, Xi Mo took the spring leaves and summer flowers to Yutianxiang.
"Guest, please inside!"
The little two at the door invited Xi Mo and his party to the house, and Xi Mo looked at the decoration inside and pouted. It's a far cry from hers.
"Find a private room."
Haruka spoke to Xiao Er.
"Okay! Upstairs received three female guests. ”
Xi Mo walked all the way up into the private room, and saw that a maid in the private room had already begun to pour tea inside.
"You may be seated, this is our new chrysanthemum tea."
Xi Mo narrowed his eyes: Could it be that the one who snatched the business of the county government from his own hands was not Yu Tianxiang? There is no red bean condensation in his house, and the free pre-dinner drink is a very ordinary rock sugar chrysanthemum.
"You heard there's a new product?"
Xi Mo didn't give up, and then asked again.
"You're talking about red bean incense, right? This is our family's signature dish, and next month, the county order mother made a birthday and ordered our red bean incense. However, the price is relatively high, do you want three copies? ”
The little girl asked.
The price is relatively high? Xi Mo frowned: It turned out that it was indeed this Yu Tianxiang who stole her red bean dumplings, and not only was it not a free drink, but it also dared to set a high price.
"Okay, take three copies. All that's left is a shortbread, a steamed sea bass, an oil gourd and three abalone sea cucumbers. ”
Xi Mo's mood fell to the bottom, and she casually asked for some common dishes in restaurants and left.
After the door of the private room was closed, Xi Mo was so angry that he scolded:
"It's really this black shop that stole my desserts, and the boss of that dog thing dares to charge for it!"
"Madame, be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears."
"I'm still afraid that he won't be able to beat me? If he does something wrong, he will definitely not dare to do anything to us. ”
"Beware of dogs jumping off walls."
Spring leaves and summer flowers still feel inappropriate, after all, this is Yu Tianxiang's territory, and they only have three women, so they definitely can't take advantage.
"Rabbits bite when they're in a hurry. Since you dare to bully me, don't be afraid of me spilling. ”
Xi Mo also knew that what Chunye Xiahua said was reasonable, but she couldn't hold her breath in her heart, so she could only get over it.
"Madam, the red bean condensation is here!"
In a moment, the little girl just now came in with three bowls of red bean incense.
Xi Mo sent people away and looked at the desserts on the table: the color was on par with the ones she had concocted, but because Yu Tianxiang was not a free dessert, it was more delicate and looked more upscale and good-looking.
Picked up the porcelain spoon and scooped a spoonful and sniffed, I could smell the fragrance of red beans, presumably the purity of red beans is also the same as the proportion of my own concoction, and the heat is about the same, otherwise I wouldn't smell such a strong bean fragrance at once.
