Chapter 151: Business Comes to the Door
This day was a new beginning for the siblings.
Nie Tianxi has a reputation for showing talent, and he is no longer a white ding, and he can not kneel when he sees the county in the future; And Nie Shuyao is his sister, and those who have bad intentions towards her have to take this into account first.
Nie Shuyao felt that if she earned more money, she would not be sad in the future. patted Nie Tianxi on the shoulder and said, "Xi'er, well done!" The next thing is the township test in three years, and then we will go to the capital together. ”
"Good!" Nie Tianxi is also arrogant, he finally doesn't have to go to the academy every day, and when he is admitted to the exam, he is in a hurry to try to apprentice.
"Yuqin, Wu Niang, you go out to buy vegetables, and you have to celebrate today. So many people, can't always eat the food we cook, each of you has to make a specialty dish, you know? This is a celebration banquet for my family Xi'er! Nie Shuyao pointed at Song Yunfei and said a few words.
Song Yunfei and the three of them bowed their heads as embarrassed, "Shu Yao, I will only eat." ”
Nie Shuyao sneered: "Why don't you say that you can't even eat?" It's a big deal that you learn to scramble an egg, that's what you want. ”
Lengzi said: "This is easy, Lengzi will scramble eggs." ”
Song Qing was always eating and drinking in the peony garden during this time, and he was embarrassed to refuse, so he echoed: "I, I also scrambled eggs." ”
Nie Shuyao nodded after hearing this, and a pair of wonderful eyes stopped at Song Yunfei, looking at his hot face.
"So, too, let's scramble eggs, but can Shu Yao teach me?" He looked up and said cheekily.
"Humph!" Nie Shuyao smiled: "Let you also taste the taste of cooking today, don't always think that you can eat and drink spicy food with a few dollars at home, when the cook doesn't want to cook, you don't have to eat either." Why don't you go grocery shopping with Yuqin! ”
Song Yunfei immediately said: "Lengzi, Xiaoqing, do you hear that?" Hurry up and buy more. I don't think I can learn this scrambled egg without a hundred or ten eggs. ”
Song Qing's face was depressed, and Leng Zi held back a smile and left behind Yuqin; As soon as Yuqin left, Da Niu also followed, saying that he was helping them get things.
Nie Shuyao felt that the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and watched them leave with a smile.
Only their sister and brother and Song Yunfei are left here, Dan Xing's mother and daughter are usually busy, and they will be busy taking care of the peonies that are blooming brightly outside.
At this moment, Jiang Yi strode over and congratulated him from afar.
As soon as he came, he was also faced with the difficulty of making dishes, but Jiang Yi was not like Song Yunfei who could only eat, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, I will invite you to eat Jiang's roasted hare tonight." ”
After saying that, he went out again to prepare the ingredients.
Compared with the two, Song Yunfei's face was even more dull.
That night, the peony garden was brightly lit, and after Song Yunfei wasted more than a dozen eggs with the help of Nie Shuyao, he finally scrambled a plate of eggs that sold very poorly. And Jiang Yi's roasted hare was also served, the whole body was roasted until golden, and the fragrance wafted out of the peony garden, and the people at the table also set their eyes on it.
After the dishes from Yongbo's side were also delivered, they toasted to each other.
"Congratulations to Tianxi for becoming a talented master!" A table of people teased him in unison.
Nie Tianxi replied shyly: "Same joy, same joy!" ”
No one was polite in the face of a table of dishes, and they all flew like flies, but no one stretched out their claws on the plate of eggs in front of Song Yunfei.
He looked at Nie Shuyao and said, "Shuyao, are my scrambled eggs hard to eat?" ”
Nie Shuyao shook her head: "How can what I taught be unpalatable?" ”
"Then why don't people eat me?"
Nie Shuyao said again: "That's more delicious." Hurry up and eat, or they'll all snatch it up. ”
Song Yunfei was devastated by the fact that he was eating eggs that didn't look good, but he made up his mind to make the best scrambled eggs, so that Shu Yao also wanted to eat them.
So Song Yunfei's road to egg killer began.
The next day, they slept again until the third day of the day.
Nie Shuyao felt that after Nie Tianxi and a classmate of Zhongxiucai went to meet the examiner and thanked him, he planned to go back to Qu County, and there was still an important thing to do there.
However, I have to indulge again today. promised Yuqin that they couldn't break their promises, and they also wanted to go to the restaurant to celebrate their younger brother again, and at the same time enjoy the play of the immortal class, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
It was almost noon when everyone went out, and it was just time to go to see the new play of the immortal class.
Fucheng is very lively these days, this year is not only the hospital test but also the triennial township test, the hospital test is unveiled earlier than the township test, I want to come in a few days, the major restaurants in the city will be full of guests and friends.
When they came to Desheng Building, they didn't know what Song Yunfei had done, so the shopkeeper personally came to take them to the theater room on the second floor. Here you can not only see the pedestrians on the street but also the best direction to watch the play, the second floor is not high, the stage is not low, and the angle of the two phases is just right.
Everyone took their seats, and Song Yunfei said: "Shopkeeper, today is to celebrate my brother's high school talent, and if there is anything good to take in Desheng Building." ”
"Yes, yes! The small ones will go down and arrange. The shopkeeper looked like he was forty years old, but he nodded to Song Yunfei.
Song Yunfei was immersed in the atmosphere of being in the limelight, looking at the stage, and the people in the immortal class were making preparations. Both lunch and night sessions are very important for the longevity class.
The seats on the first floor were basically full, and Nie Shuyao looked up and saw that most of the people sitting here eating snacks and listening to the play were women. There are also female juniors shuttling among them.
At this time, Leng Zi explained: "During this period of lunch, most of the first floor entertains female guests, which is equivalent to a theater, and the lunch scene of the Changsheng class is also for this kind of people. ”
"I see!" Nie Shuyao saw that there were still many people entering, and when men saw this situation, they generally went directly to the second floor to ask for a private room. And the people who watch the play are basically already wives, and there are daughters-in-law who accompany their mothers-in-law, and there are servants accompanying them; The boudoir women didn't see it.
She suddenly asked: "Brother Song seems to be the uncle here, I heard that Desheng Lou is the best restaurant in Beijing, and Brother Song is also a frequent visitor there." ”
Song Yunfei knew that she was making fun of herself, and said with a smile: "Shu Yao guessed accurately, there is still a little bit of me in Desheng Building in Beijing, so I am the VIP of Desheng Building, and the shopkeeper naturally has to be entertained." ”
"Oh!" Nie Shuyao let out a long sigh and asked, "Then the owner of Desheng Building in Qu County is the same as here, or it can be understood that you know the second son of Wu Zhonghou, right?" ”
Song Yunfei was seen through the purpose of this trip, and smiled awkwardly: "Wu Zhonghou's second son is a gentleman, and now I don't want to mix with him anymore, so I hid." ”
Nie Shuyao nodded slightly, this is about the same, in short, she feels good about herself to save a gentleman.
It didn't take long for the preparatory preparations for the longevity class to be made, the gongs and drums downstairs were jingling, and the play began.
The dishes they wanted also came up slowly, and the shopkeeper didn't forget to introduce the scene when he passed the dishes.
At noon, the longevity class sang a "Mandarin Duck Mistake" that was biased towards women's viewing, about a lady who fell in love with a poor scholar, but was broken up by her money-loving father, and when the girl was forced to marry a big family, the hero and heroine agreed to go to Huangquan at the same time. On that day, as soon as the hour came, the scholar hung the southeast branch, and the lady took poison in the sedan chair, and finally both died. Their emotions moved the gods, and they were brought to the sky as a pair of butterflies among the flowers.
Nie Shuyao listened to the introduction and thought: "The person who wrote this play is really bold, and the immortal class who sings this play is even bolder, this is the Ming Dynasty, aren't you afraid of being said to be immoral?" However, the person who wrote it is still very imaginative, a bit like Liang Zhu's drama. ”
Downstairs was babbling and drinking, but everyone upstairs was eating happily, with Nie Shuyao present, no one was shouting and drinking.
The seats on the second floor are separated by beautifully carved screens, and they are invisible to each other, but they are not soundproof, and everyone's voices are much quieter.
While the crowd was eating, someone knocked on their screen.
Nie Shuyao looked up, and an old man in his fifties with a smile on his face was arching his hand at them.
"Are you...... Uncle Merchant? Nie Shuyao got up and said.
The merchant surnamed Xu came to them with a smile, waved at everyone, and said, "Thank you for saving Xu Mou's life, please accept Xu Mou's worship." ”
When he was making a gesture, he wanted to kneel down and bow down, but Nie Tianxi hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Uncle doesn't need to be polite, this is what we should do." ”
But the butler beside him said, "Master, let the little one do this ceremony for the master." ”
Saying that, the old housekeeper slammed his head a few times, "Thank you girl for saving my hometown and saving the life of the little old man." ”
Nie Shuyao finally persuaded them to give them this kind of thanks, jokes, no one who is given a big gift by an elderly person will not be calm.
"Uncle, please sit down, we are here today to celebrate my brother's talent, why don't we have a meal together." Nie Shuyao invited.
The businessman's uncle hurriedly got up again and bowed his hand to Nie Tianxi, "I can't see it, the little brother has done this at a young age, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future." Steward Xu, go and get the brocade box I prepared. ”
After a while, Steward Xu was holding a square brocade box, and the merchant surnamed Xu respectfully handed it to Nie Tianxi and said, "Be careful, please be sure to accept it." ”
After sending away the brocade box, he took out a square jade pendant and handed it to Nie Shuyao, explaining: "I am from Yangzhou, and I am the current manager of Xu's firm. This is the VIP brand of our Xu's firm, and with this, we can enjoy the best hospitality in our firm. ”
Nie Shuyao solemnly accepted it and asked, "Uncle is Mr. Xu Guangfa Xu of Xu's firm, and the little woman has admired her name for a long time. ”
Xu's business involves a wide range of products, from grain and salt to the coarse cloth used by the common people in the market, and they have storefronts, and they are one-stop services, which can be described as big businessmen.
Xu Guangfa smiled and nodded: "The girl is polite, if it weren't for the girl's treatment that day, Xu would have died in another country." ”
Speaking of this, he said gratefully: "Xu's mother is nearly seventy, if he doesn't meet the girl that day, it must be a white-haired person who sends a black-haired person, and Xu will be very unfilial." ”
Nie Shuyao was moved by his filial piety and said, "This is what we should do, Mr. Xu seems to be very good." In the future, you need to eat more rattan vegetables. ”
Xu Guangfa said: "Yes, thank you girl." ”
Nie Shuyao said again: "Mr. Xu came to Xuzhou Mansion for business? ”R1152
