Chapter 105: Wuxi Tea House
Qian Sangui guessed what the second brother meant, he must have been afraid that his family would have good things and only remember the big house and forget about them. He gave Wu a look, but Wu didn't understand what it meant.
Qian Yixiu understood, pulled Wu into their bedroom, asked her to cut a few feet of brown muslin for Qian Ergui to make clothes, and asked her to take a small silver coin out and give it to Qian Ergui.
Qian Ergui accepted the cloth, and was embarrassed to collect the cashier, "That's silver, the third brother keeps it and uses it slowly." ”
Qian Sangui persuaded, "This thing is not worth much, it's just a rarity, and the second brother will take it." ”
Qian Ergui smiled and Mimi took the small silver bill, playing with this rare thing that only rich people have.
Mrs. Qian was also happy to see this scene. Ordinary parents prefer the weakest children, but now that the third room is better, she feels a little sorry for this honest second son. The second son and Manhe's grandson are all good, but the loser mother-in-law of the Tang family is disgusted.
In the evening, Qian Sangui left the old lady and Qian Ergui to have dinner at home and drank two cups.
Wu's moromi is good.
On the 30th, as soon as it was dawn, Qian Yixiu got up with Wu and Qian Manxia.
Summer was bright early, although the sky was already white by the end of the day, and there were a little dew on the roses shrouded in the mist. Qian Yixiu, who was still a little dazed, came to the yard, did stretching exercises, and jumped a few times before he was completely awake.
They are going to make steamed cakes today and take them to the county seat. Yesterday, Wu bought two catties of milk in Luliu Village, and he was afraid that it would be bad, so he put it in a basin and put it in cold water.
Eggs, fine white flour, white sugar, oil, and two sets of 12 gaiwans that I bought in the town yesterday as molds.
In order to get rid of the fishy smell of the eggs. There was no white vinegar, so I had to order two drops of household vinegar, and I didn't know what it would taste.
Wait until dawn. The cake was steamed, and a total of four pots were steamed. Forty-eight small cakes are yellow, chubby, and bubpy, and they look delightful.
This kind of steamed cake is that many people in the previous life did not do it well, and a detail was not handled properly. It's either not delicious, or steamed like an omelet. In order to make this snack well, Qian Yixiu worked a lot.
Because the gaiwan is limited. Each pot also steamed a few cakes in small earthen bowls. The cake in the bowl is good-looking, so I give it away, and the cake in the earthen bowl is eaten at home.
The fluffy and sweet cake was loved by the whole family, including Brother Monkey and Ben Hop. Dashan is really a great mother. It saw that the children liked it. The own one was also given to them.
Qian Yijin's children were so fragrant that they almost swallowed their tongues, and said, "This cake is better than the dim sum in the county." ”
Qian Sangui also said, "Not only the county seat, but also the county, I have traveled to so many places in the north and south, and I have even been to the capital, and I have never eaten such a soft and delicious cake." ”
Maybe it's been a long time since I've eaten this, and Qian Yixiu also thinks it's delicious.
Wu asked in surprise. "Why does Xiu'er make this rare cake?"
Qian Yixiu said shamelessly, "Xiu'er is fine, just think about it." I figured it out. ”
She looked at Cheng Yue, who didn't speak, and asked, "Mother, is it delicious?" ”
"Well, it's delicious. It tastes a little like a cream pine yellow roll, but it doesn't look like it. Cheng Yue said, wiping the cake crumbs on the side of her mouth with a handkerchief. The little lady pays great attention to appearance, unlike other people who lick their tongues when they get scum on their lips.
Although everyone was very interested in the cream pine yellow rolls that they had never heard of, they didn't dare to ask more for fear that Cheng Yue would get sick again.
Qian Yixiu also stretched out her little pink tongue from time to time to lick her lips and ate it.
It's delicious!
Cheng Yue frowned and said, "Xiu'er, you're not running and jumping, why are you licking your mouth with your tongue?" My mother made you a few handkerchiefs and rubbed them with them. ”
As soon as she said this, even Qian Sangui blushed, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
At three o'clock in the morning, Qian Sangui, who was dressed in new clothes, walked out of the courtyard gate with his little brother and sister with five hundred and fifty taels of silver and a few taels of silver. They are going to the county seat, and at the same time they will go to Yaxing to buy some fields, and then go to see if there are suitable people.
Brother Monkey was bought by two cakes, and he obediently didn't take the road, and took care of the house at home with Dashan.
The little brother and sister said to Cheng Yue again, "Don't worry, mother, let's go with my grandfather and come back next morning." ”
In Cheng Yue's mind, Qian Sangui is the most powerful person in this family. When the little brother and sister are with him, she is relieved. He instructed, "Come back early, my mother misses you." ”
When they are gone, the Wu family must stay at home, and everyone is not at ease with Qian Manxia to accompany Cheng Yue. Today, they had to bring six small jars of mash and three boxes of straw food cakes, so Wu had to send them to the ox cart in the north of the village.
Mrs. Qian knew that her son was going to buy a field with the silver today, so she didn't go to their house, but guarded at the gate of the Qian family's compound early in the morning. Dafang's family was quite puzzled, and she didn't say anything when asked her.
When she saw her third son's family passing by, she hurriedly ran over to look her son up and down, so nervous that she couldn't do it. also whispered, "Just the three of you are not afraid of being robbed?" Do you need your brother and nephew to follow? ”
Qian Sangui shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, don't worry, mother." ”
Qian Yijin smiled and whispered, "It's fine, but when people look at the look of the grandmother, something will happen." ”
The old lady hurriedly said, "Oh, it's too much, isn't it." Then you go quickly, and the grandmother will go home immediately. ”
Qian Sangui asked Qian Yixiu to hand her a few cakes specially brought to her.
She took the cake from Qian Yixiu's hand, but looked at her son and great-grandson and said with a smile, "The old woman didn't hurt you in vain, she still thinks about me when she has rare food." ”
Today, there are more people in the car. The villagers greeted Qian Sangui with a smile on their faces, "Brother Qian, bring so many things to the county seat to sell?" ”
"No," Qian Yijin hurriedly replied, "We are going to Baohetang, the old lady of the Zhang family likes to eat the mash made by my mother, let's send a few jars over." ”
When it's time to show off, you have to show off.
Qian Sangui smiled and patted his grandson's head. Don't look at him relaxed on the surface, in fact, his palms are tense and sweaty.
When they arrived at the county seat, the three grandchildren called a donkey cart and moved their things up.
Uncle Wu, who was driving the car, said to the people who hadn't gotten off yet, "It's different if you're rich, and you're willing to take a donkey cart when you enter the county." ”
The three of them went to the Wuxi Tea House on Tong'an Street first.
The tea house is a three-story building with a backyard, green walls and tiles, vermilion carved doors and windows, and eight facades. The outside is the same as many shops, but the layout inside the surface is unique, elegant and luxurious, and it is one of the top shops in the entire Xishan County.
Wuxi Tea Workshop is different from many tea houses, it is a collection of tea making, tea shops, and tea shops. The first floor mainly sells tea, the second floor is an open tea house, and a storyteller is invited, and the third floor is an elegant private room.
Because there is a master of tea making, Master Huang, Wuxi Tea Shop only accepts fresh tea leaves that have not been processed and roasts them into finished tea. The brand tea Wuxi Fengjian is also a hot commodity in the capital, and even the emperor and the queen mother like to drink it. (To be continued.) )
