114 Pine Preserved Eggs
The carriage galloped all the way, and arrived at Baijiaji a full hour faster than the expected day.
As soon as the carriage entered the northeast entrance of the town, Guan Ping asked the old man who was driving the car to stop, and jumped off with his scholarly robe, and his fair and handsome face that was red by the sun looked much closer, Li Yinfeng felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, and he hurriedly asked:
"Why did Guan Gongzi get off here?"
"I'm going to buy something in Nanshi, and I'm here to thank Miss Li for her generous help, and I will prepare a small gift to thank you another day." The Li family's carriage is much more comfortable than ordinary carriages, even if they sit on the wheel, they don't feel how bumpy it is, and they save a few taels of silver, Guan Ping is not such an ungrateful person, so he naturally wants to find an opportunity to repay him.
Li Yinfeng was also not easy to keep, so he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, "Yuanhui, you have also served me for so many years, I am very satisfied, it is better to find a suitable day to go to Lijia Village with you to see your family." ”
You want to see Guan Ping, right? Qiao Yuanhui knew it, but his face showed a look of gratitude, and he bowed: "The slave has thanked Miss for her grace." ”
The master and servant had their own concerns, and they went all the way through the outer ring to the door of the Li Mansion in the inner circle, and saw the door of the Li Mansion open from a distance, and a lean young man was waiting at the door.
"Little monkey, why are you standing here?" Li Yinfeng got out of the carriage with the help of Qiao Yuanhui, and glanced at Li Changhai's personal servant by the door, "What about Changhai?" ”
"Miss, you're here." The little monkey had a bitter monkey face, and replied, "Young master, he went straight to Zhenweiju." I can't persuade him to come back, but there are still stewards waiting at home to inquire about things and rush back and forth. ”
Li Yinfeng sneered: "Shouldn't you know Changhai's temperament better than me?" If he doesn't want to see someone, then say anything and don't let him see it. Yes, he went to fill his stomach, but I was tired of my life, and I had to help him clean up the mess. ”
"This is a young lady who can work hard, if he really changes the third young master, he may not be able to listen to the things that the stewards will do." Qiao Yuanhui flattered Li Yinfeng just right, anyway, she had already followed back to Baijiaji, but she planned to make a difference in a short period of time, and Mother Liu could talk to her. The old lady is looking for a daughter-in-law for the third young master.
Li Yinfeng likes to hear this. She feels that she is much smarter and more sensible than Li Changhai, but on weekdays, her identity is not up or down, and she always has no chance to show her majesty in front of her subordinates.
At this time, Li Changhai, who was supposed to be majestic in Li Zhai, was eating and drinking happily in the lobby of Zhenweiju. He galloped on horseback for most of the day, and he was full of wind and dust, and his stomach was hungry. He didn't have the leisure to stay in his study with a group of half-old men and listen to those boring reports. I have long heard that the things in the store are the most authentic. Baijiaji Douban is also the freshest and most delicious, which can be regarded as a taste.
The sun sets late at the end of July, but this is not the time to eat. Yun Ying, who went downstairs with the shopkeeper Liu, saw the thin back of the slender man munching with his back to her at a glance, and after a glance, he returned to the basket in his hand as if nothing happened, handed it to the shopkeeper Liu and said:
"Uncle Liu, I won't continue to wait for Second Uncle Liu to come back. Please also convey to him, this time it is a real pine flower preserved egg, and it can start to be sold in Zhenweiju. ”
After the village banquet at noon, Yun Ying thought that she did not have the ability to deal with the flattery of others, so she simply found an excuse to drag Yuangen to Baijiaji, and after sending Yuangen back to the academy to pay the registration money, she brought the recently improved Songhua preserved eggs to Zhenweiju, but unfortunately Liu Er's shopkeeper went out with some things, and she didn't come back until now, she didn't want to go back late and be preached by Jia's family.
"Is this preserved egg really as you say it can give birth to pine branch patterns? That's really a god, and presumably those scholars who are vassals and elegant will flock to it. Tuo Yunying's blessing, we can earn a sum of money again. "Today's shopkeeper Liu is more affectionate to Yun Ying than Liu Er's shopkeeper, without him, the watercress, corn, and rape that have flowed out of Yunying's hands have brought him huge profits.
Yun Ying?! Li Changhai, who was lying on the table and eating happily, turned his head suddenly.
The woman who came into view was thirteen or fourteen years old, but her round face was not as bloated as Li Yinfeng, but looked cute. The eyebrows are slightly thicker and a little raised, and with the hairstyle that is tied high above the head like a man, it is a little more heroic than other girls. The black eyes in a pair of apricot eyes are as dazzling as black crystals, a few freckles on the nose, and a red beauty mole on the red lips that exude natural radiance make her so feminine. The neat narrow-sleeved skirt is dyed in green onion and white, which appropriately shows the pretty and colorful side of the girl.
She is not beautiful, but she is full of vitality, which makes people feel more than half of the mood at a glance.
She is Qiao Yunying! Li Changhai recognized it at a glance, he would not mistake the light in those apricot eyes, over the years, he had only seen such colorful changes in Yun Ying's eyes, and he had only seen the optimistic love for life and life on her face.
"Little Er, Young Master Ben wants to eat the Songhua preserved eggs in your store." The ghost sent the gods, Li Changhai leaned sideways on the back of the chair, snapped his fingers and beckoned the guy to command.
"This ...... The small shop has the 'preserved eggs' to eat, but the chef of the small shop is still experimenting with various ways to eat, if the guest wants to taste it, please come next time. "Zhenweiju's shop juniors have undergone strict training, and no matter what strange requests the guests have, they must greet them with a smile and try their best to meet them.
"It's bullying Young Master Ben for not having any money, right? Young Master Ben wants to eat it now. With a snap, there was an extra silver ingot on the table, which was full of ten taels of silver ingots, and Li Changhai squinted in the direction of Yun Ying and Liu Da's shopkeeper at the staircase, making it clear that he was coming towards them.
Shopkeeper Liu and Yun Ying looked at Li Changhai, who turned his head.
Some dirt on his face can't stop his handsome appearance. Yes, it's handsome, and it's a little too handsome, a little feminine, and the left cheek shows a deep dimple with his red lips slightly raised; He leaned on the stool so casually, one foot off the ground and swaying, and his royal blue robe was almost obscured by the dust. The whole person looks like a flow in terms of temperament.
"This guest officer, it's not that the small shop doesn't want to cook it for you, but the chef of the small shop hasn't returned yet, or is it? Will you wait a while? "The shopkeeper knows that there are still Liu Er's shopkeepers in the back kitchen to make the leftover preserved eggs, they don't taste bad, and ten taels of silver can make a table of banquets, but it's just a preserved egg.
"If you want Young Master Ben to wait, just forget the silver." Li Changhai took the silver from the table and tossed it up and down in his hand, "It's a pity that Young Master Ben just wants to taste the taste of that 'Songhua Preserved Egg' now, if you don't find someone to play with it, Young Master Ben can taste it, otherwise, Young Master Ben will go to the chief to sue you for being a big bully." ”
The shopkeeper's face was almost wrinkled with bitterness: "The guest officer can't talk nonsense." Who doesn't know that we cherish the joy of living in the children's house without deception and sincere hospitality. ”
"Then make it for Young Master Ben." Li Changhai is clearly unreasonable.
The shopkeeper Liu frowned, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and he was about to step forward to ask him who sent him to make trouble, but Yun Ying stretched out his hand to stop him and went to Li Changhai's table first: "This guest officer wants to eat 'Songhua Preserved Eggs'?" ”
Yun Ying smiled with crooked eyebrows, her black crystal-like eyes shone dazzlingly, and a few small freckles on her nose naughtily jumped into Li Changhai's eyes, making him almost want to reach out to help her pick up the "sesame seeds" that were in the way, but in the end he just nodded stupidly.
"This 'Songhua Preserved Egg' is now the first one in Baijiaji, and it is like a beautiful picture made by a sassy ink artist through the eggshell, which also means that the scholars who eat this Songhua Preserved Egg will definitely be able to hand over a splendid article in the upcoming exam." Yun Ying said this, but stared at the silver in Li Changhai's hand:
"As the first food in the entire Baijiaji and even Asahi City and Tengyun Dynasty to eat such a beautiful meaning, is the guest officer's ten taels of silver a little less? You know, there is only such a basket of pine preserved eggs in the world, and others don't know when they want to eat it? And it's not clear whether they are all like the preserved eggs in this basket can be painted with beautiful pine flowers. ”
"Is it that amazing?" To say that Li Changhai was just trying to find an excuse to talk to Yun Ying before, now he was completely curious about the egg-like thing wrapped in rice husks in the basket. "Preserved eggs" and "Songhua preserved eggs", these two terms he had just heard, and it was estimated that they were related to "eggs", but he was still confused why.
"Would you like to give it a try? How dare you give it a try? Yun Ying is still thinking about how to make up for the silver used by Yuangen today, God has sent this opportunity to her eyes, for ten taels or even more silver taels, she plans to let it go.
At this time, the lobby of Zhenweiju has been surrounded by a lot of people to watch the excitement, most of them are scholars with a few coins in the family of ten miles and eight villages, and they are going to eat some good supplements when they are going to take the exam. Listening to Yun Ying's highly inflammatory and agitated words, even someone in the crowd jumped to their feet and shouted:
"Ten taels of silver, this young master came to ask for this lottery."
Li Changhai couldn't stand the agitation, and as soon as his neck stiffened, he replied: "Who said that you can eat it for ten taels of silver?" Didn't you hear her just say that you can't eat ten taels of silver? Then he turned to Yun Ying: "Fifty taels of silver, I bought all the baskets, hurry up and get a copy." ”
"Ten taels of silver each, if this guest officer needs fifty taels of silver, I will sell you five." I handed over the rest to Shopkeeper Liu, and let others stick to the joy. But don't worry, I will definitely hand over the basket after you have eaten the first five. Yun Ying sat directly on the ground and raised the price, there were at least forty preserved eggs in the basket, and she sold them for at least a few hundred taels of silver. (To be continued......)
