Chapter 188: Bean Sprouts (Seeking Pink)
My aunt didn't let her send it, everyone was tired, so we had to rest quickly.
The third aunt and grandmother didn't leave, she was still worried about the promotion of the third aunt, and the current power of the Hou Mansion saw that she was jealous and jealous.
The third aunt and grandmother hesitated how to speak, but the old lady was already tired, so she asked Mother Sun to help her into the inner room to rest.
The third aunt and grandmother hurriedly stood up, her mouth was open, and she didn't say a word, and when the old lady was tired, she opened her mouth to promote the official, just afraid that she would anger the old lady.
The third aunt and grandmother thought about it, and decided to give up first, and come back again in Ming'er, it is not far from the left and right, and it will be there in half an hour.
I didn't go back yesterday, and I don't know if the master has taken in a new concubine.
The third aunt and grandmother thought of this, and the heart of returning to the house was also urgent, and after she left, the Hou Mansion was completely quiet, and An Rong was tired and panicked, and fell asleep when she returned to Linglong Garden.
I slept until midnight, and if I wasn't hungry, I probably wouldn't wake up.
Yu's mother asked her to warm the porridge, and when she got up and ate a bowl, it was a little difficult to sleep.
Wrapped in a cloak, he sat on a small pestle and wandered his mind on the charcoal stove in front of him.
Today was Dongmei's night, she was busy and tired, and begged Begonia to come back for her, Begonia has always been good at talking, so she agreed.
Seeing An Rong sitting there in a daze, she put on her clothes and lit a few more lights.
After lighting the lamp, Haitang put on her clothes, moved the small pestle and sat opposite An Rong, and asked with a smile, "What is the girl thinking?" ”
An Rong raised his eyes to look at Begonia, lowered his head again, and reached out to make the charcoal fire with the tongs, and the room suddenly lit up.
"Why do you have three wives and four concubines, there is no distinction between concubines and concubines, where is the battle between concubines and concubines?" An Rong muttered softly.
Haitang was stunned for a moment, and then it took a while to understand the meaning of An Rong's words, these girls in the house are fighting like this, isn't it because of the word concubine?
But what the elders like is that the children and grandchildren are full, how can a wife do it, and the wife has to manage the inner courtyard, and it is not good to take care of the master, and it is inevitable to take concubines.
There are a few men who don't like beauty, that is, poor people, who collect a few more buckets of rice, and they can't help but go around twice in front of the Qinglou restaurant.
Haitang didn't speak, only quietly accompanyed, until An Rong was sleepy and rested, she didn't fall asleep.
When she woke up the next day, An Rong only felt sore, she had slept for too long, she twisted her neck and got out of bed, and asked the maid to help her pinch.
After freshening up and dressing up, Anrong had breakfast, and Linglong Garden restored the atmosphere of the past.
Even Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu flew back.
Wow, there was a sound of going upstairs.
Dong'er stepped up, walked up to An Rong, and said, "Girl, the fifth daughter-in-law of Huafangdou is here, and she is downstairs at this time." ”
An Rong raised her eyebrows and asked Dong'er to invite the fifth daughter-in-law of Dou to come up.
Soon, the fifth daughter-in-law of Dou came, her face was full of spring, and she saluted respectfully when she saw An Rong.
An Rong took a look at her dress, it was much better than the last time she saw it in the flower room, it can be seen that Douwu has made a lot of money these days, and couldn't help laughing, "Something?" ”
The fifth daughter-in-law of Dou nodded again and again, "Yes, the slave maid is busy with the affairs of the bean sprouts workshop outside the house these days, and he has no time to come to see the girl, and it just so happens that the inner courtyard is not something he can enter if he wants to, no, let the slave and maid come and talk to the girl, saying that yesterday there was a man who wanted to buy the secret recipe of bean sprouts at a high price, he calculated yesterday, and the silver given by the other party was more than two years of profit from the bean sprouts workshop, and after selling the secret recipe, he could continue to open the bean sprouts workshop, he felt that this business could be done, let the slave maid come and ask the girl." ”
An Rong raised her eyebrows slightly, who is such a loser, spending two years of profits to buy the secret recipe of bean sprouts, and allowing her to continue to operate? Bean sprouts are not very expensive, although they are one of the few vegetables in winter, but you will get tired of eating too much.
"But who wants to buy it?" An Rong stretched out his hand to clip the shrimp dumplings.
"Young Master of the Xun family in the east of the city."
Let's go, the shrimp dumplings that were just picked up just fell down.
An Rong's embarrassed face turned red, and he quickly picked up the shrimp dumplings and stuffed them into his mouth to eat.
A group of maids looked at her blankly, and the girl ate a shrimp dumpling in one bite?
It's usually two or three.
An Rong's mind is all about bean sprouts, why did he buy the secret recipe for bean sprouts, not counting the profit for two years, it is not a buyout, he is not a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the emperor will reward him with 10,000 taels casually?
An Rong couldn't figure out why he wanted to buy the secret recipe for bean sprouts.
Originally, with such good conditions, An Rong would definitely sell it, but after hearing that it was him, An Rong had a trace of hesitation.
Isn't that the same as giving her money?
It's enough to take advantage of others, and you can't add any more, so An Rong decided to ask clearly.
After breakfast, An Rong did not go directly to Songhe Courtyard, but took a flower paper and wrote a letter and tied it to Xiao Qi's legs.
let go of Xiao Qi, An Rong took Qiu Ju downstairs, and before leaving, he gave Peony a look and remembered to receive the letter.
The peony nodded like pounded garlic.
Linmoxuan, study.
Xiao Zhan put on a mask, put the soothing cream into the drawer, and was about to get up, when he saw Xiao Qi flying in, landing on the pen holder, looking around.
A smile crossed his lips as he reached out and removed the small bamboo tube.
Unfolded the flower note, only to see that it was written: Are you going to buy the secret recipe for bean sprouts?
Xiao Zhan raised her eyebrows, it turned out that the bean sprouts workshop was opened by her.
Shotsuru-in, main hall.
When An Rong spared the screen and went in, he was stunned.
I saw that in the house, on the red peony carpet, there were more than a dozen food boxes.
The contents are even more stunned, and they can't take their eyes off it.
In those food boxes, there are not dishes, well, they are also dishes, but is this dish too peculiar?
A plate of pearls with four small greens on it, the pearls were the size of a dragon's eye.
A plate of cabbage jade, emerald and dripping, even if it is placed in the vegetable field, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
A plate of goldfish, lying quietly in the water, the goldfish is splendid, and the fish eyes are white jade beads, vivid.
A plate of dessert was filled with snow-white pastries, crystal clear, without the slightest blemish.
……
A plate of fruit after dinner is a cold melon, cut, green skin, red meat, black seeds, just like the real cold melon, breathtaking.
……
The most peculiar thing is that there is a plate with a stack of papers, and the first one is white, which is unpredictable.
Chief Fu happened to be standing aside, and An Rong asked, "What is that plate?" ”
Manager Fu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's salt, that plate of salt is enough for the Hou Mansion to eat for fifty years." ”
Outside, there was a small servant who came in with a food box and saluted, "Old lady, General Cen sent someone from the mansion to send a plate of plum blossom chicken slices." ”
The little girl didn't bring the food box forward, but only gently put it on the ground and opened the food box.
I guessed correctly, there is another dish of great value in it, to say the least, it is a thousand taels.
The plum blossom is jade, and so are the chicken slices, but the texture on the jade is very similar to the chicken, and it can almost be fake.
An Rong walked towards the old lady in surprise, finished the salute, sat down next to the old lady, and asked, "Grandmother, what are these?" ”
Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Shen Anxi on the side said, "These are all sent by the ministers who came to our Hou Mansion to eat before, and now they want to communicate with our Hou Mansion and send the special dishes of their mansion." ”
The third lady sat aside, her face was a little indescribable, seeing so many precious dishes, it was obviously impossible not to be tempted, even An Rong felt that these dishes were very kind.
It's just that these dishes are too precious and can be eaten, but they are not easy to digest, and if you don't get it right, you will eat it badly.
I was worried about what to do, and the Hou Ye, the second master, and the third master all stepped in.
The second master said with a look of surprise, "Now our Hou Mansion is not as good as before, and it used to be difficult to meet once or two a year to send these delicacies, but now we can set a big table." ”
The third master also smiled, pointed to the plate of white jade pastries and said, "That's mutton fat jade, right?" ”
The second old man bent down, took a piece of it casually, and said with a smile, "The third brother's eyes are so good, it is the mutton fat jade." ”
This kind of jade, if you give a piece, it is enough for a woman in the backyard to be happy for a month, and there is actually a plate here, which is ten yuan.
The old lady looked at their appearance and couldn't help but say, "That's a white jade pastry, whoever has good teeth, give me a bite to try." ”
The second master tugged at the corners of his mouth, and quickly put down the mutton fat jade, this has to be bitten, and the two front teeth must not be broken?
The third master saluted, sat down next to the third wife, frowned and said, "These gifts are too precious." ”
The third lady glanced at the plates and said with a smile, "It's not just that it's valuable, but it's also that the intention of giving gifts is different, and I have gained a lot of knowledge today." ”
The eyes of the people in the room were just looking at the food boxes.
The second master advocated accepting it, which was the intention of making friends with others, and it was not appropriate to refuse, although it was more valuable, and he would return it with the same heavy gift.
Hou Ye and the third master glanced at each other, and there was still some hesitation in their eyes.
The old lady sat there, fiddling with Buddhist beads in her hand, and no one could help but be moved by these things.
An Rong didn't speak, and listened quietly.
Shen Anxi smiled, "If you accept these dishes, Fourth Sister, let's move a plate back to eat, which one do you like?" ”
There was a sound of footsteps outside, An Rong raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand, "I like that." ”
The little guy who came in with the food box was suddenly stunned, a little at a loss.
There was a big word written on the food box: Zhou.
The food box is rustic, but it looks very strong, these are not the point, the point is that there is a faint smell in the air, which is very special.
But An Rong is still familiar, it's stinky tofu.
A room full of people covered their mouths and fanned the wind in disgust.
How can these delicate women withstand the bombardment of stinky tofu, and their noses are rubbed red.
"What is this, take it out quickly," said the third lady with a frown.
Shen Anxi was already about to be stunted, pinching his nose and looking at An Rong, "Fourth sister, why do you want that food box?" ”
An Rong wanted to say a word, stinky tofu is very good, she used to despise shì, abandoned it like a shoe, smelled it and detoured dozens of meters, but then tasted it once, thought it was really good, and gradually liked it.
Thinking of stinky tofu, An Rong's face was a little cold. R1152
