Chapter 99, the folk song Dongfang Hong
Fortunately, she used an ancient version of the guqin, and if she used her modern qin, her fingers would have worn out the skin at this time. The ancient strings are different from the modern ones, the modern ones should use the nail pieces, the ancient ones are pure finger grinding, the strings are softer than the modern ones, and the sound that pops up is not as loud as the modern ones.
"What do you play?" The county lord listened to it for a while, why didn't he hear the track at all?
Dong Xiaoying said casually: "Dongfang Hong." ”
The county lord then asked, "Where is the song card?" ”
"Huh?" Dong Xiaoying came back to her senses, stopped and said, "Go back to the county lord, this woman doesn't know!" Isn't this a folk song? ”
The county lord knew that the original repertoire that sounded very atmospheric was actually from the folk.
The little copper spoon dug up a piece of cake, and the county lord squinted his eyes to taste it, and sure enough, it was right to partner with them, this pastry was a new style.
"There's a smell of apples."
Dong Xiaoying explained with a smile: "Apple juice is used in the cake, and there is also an apple pie, the county lord can taste it, but the apple pie is not good for the county lord, so it must be eaten hot." ”
"I like to be in the store, it's more comfortable than at home." The county lord smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Mrs. Hu swayed the chair, that's right, it's really more comfortable here than at home.
General Hua leaned on the pillar of the balcony and looked outside, eating chicken rice flowers, and did not forget to report to Mrs. Hu: "Someone is here again, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Works, tsk!" It's really late, whether it's waiting for the rain to stop before going out, or dressing up at home! ”
Mrs. Hu listened with a smile and preached: "You be quiet, don't let people hear, shame on others, how much meat have you eaten here, don't forget to pay the bill, people are open today, you can't eat for nothing, the omen is not good!" ”
General Hua smiled and said: "This is delicious, fried and delicious, I will also let the cook cook it when I go back." ”
The county lord listened to the piano crookedly, and the rocking chair swayed, and he also felt very sleepy.
General Hua suddenly said, "Oops! The princess's grandmother is here! ”
The county lord reluctantly stood up, looked at the rocking chair, and pondered that he would put two in the room when he went back, and he would also honor his mother, and one in his father's study, and his sister...... Forget about my sister, she is always in my yard all day, and if there is mine, she will have hers.
After the county lord went downstairs, General Hua had a seat again, and there were only two rocking chairs upstairs, an arhat couch and two circle chairs, which were arranged for the ladies to gather and drink tea and chat.
"I'll do the math! There are almost more than 200 officials in the six departments of the princess's mansion, plus relatives, rich families who came to the south to hide from the war, and families who moved from all over the country. General Hua yawned, was full, and wanted to sleep for a while.
Mrs. Hu said: "This is the private property of the county lord, and in the future, who is tired of bullying the county lord?" Let's take a trip to support the scene today, and the business in the store will not have to worry about it in the future. ”
Mrs. Niu happened to go up to the corner of the first floor, and when she heard Mrs. Hu's words, she continued: "I'm worried, but I'm worried, what should I do!" At this time, let the family send pastries, don't rush! ”
Dong Xiaoying looked at the sky and asked, "It's not sold?" ”
Mrs. Niu patted her waist, "It's not sold, the apple bag is set out before it comes out of the pot, it's all gone, and the cakes that came out of the shelves in the morning are all grabbed." ”
All right! Mrs. Niu has renamed the apple pie Apple Bag again.
"Still robbed?" Dong Xiaoying smiled and sold out!
Mrs. Niu found a chair to sit down, patted the coffee table at hand and said, "Looking at the rain in the morning, I'm worried that I won't be able to sell it, oops!" I just saw the ladies noisily grabbing the cakes, and I was worried that I wouldn't sell enough, but I was so tired! ”
General Hua clapped his hands and laughed, "You are still worried if you are not sold, shouldn't you be happy!" Don't worry, bring more goods tomorrow, don't be afraid of people grabbing, our pastries are delicious, you can't eat them if you grab them, that's why it's expensive! ”
"Don't say it, let you say it, I'm even more worried."
Mrs. Niu said: "Four cows, the milk produced is enough for our whole village to drink half a bowl of breakfast, look at a lot of milk, but it is not enough, there are a few kinds of mushroom cakes, without cream can be brought more, the rare decorated cakes of the ladies, we have so much a day, and we don't want to sell more." ”
The next day, the pastry shops in each county opened together, the old ladies became shopkeepers, and the delivery workers were replaced by the men of the village.
Delivery is not something that anyone can deliver, and Mrs. Niu set up an exam before. You must drive steadily, speak sharply, and wear clothes that will not be ground into pickles. I also have to have my hair and no lice, and finally my appearance, I look decent, I don't hunch over when I go out, and I don't have figure-eight feet.
The size is enough, the height is not good, people think that the men in our village are all, but they are not hit, and there are still boys waiting to marry! Those who go out are the faces of our village, and they must be decent and upright.
Dong Xiaoying thinks that Mrs. Niu chooses to deliver goods more strictly than choosing super boys! It's just that there are not enough people, there are so many men in the village, those who are married and those who are not married, according to the standards of old ladies, they can't have less white heads, and finally select a few, and say that they are taller in the stalks, make do!
In fact, Mrs. Niu is most satisfied with her eldest grandson, but Changshou was picked by Si'er to be a servant, and it was good to eat official meals, but she didn't make much money by sending pastries. The old lady pondered, longevity is going to be a daughter-in-law, there are official clothes to wear, with the saber of the servant, the woman can look decent.
The business of pastry shops in each county is about the same, every day at noon, only mushroom cakes, old bread, doughnuts, and pastries without cream can be stored until after noon, after two o'clock in the afternoon, and close at three o'clock at the latest.
The old ladies rush to the town every morning or every day, who let the children who drive the delivery not leave, must squat in the pastry shop piping room to listen to the excitement!
The piping room is only five square meters, and the window is open one meter two from the ground, and the guests outside can just see the cake while sitting, but they can't see the base of the cake.
When the boys come to the store, they don't want to stay in the back kitchen, even if they squat under the decorating table, they like to listen to the lively pastry selling in the store.
The people who came to send the money were the housekeepers of the rich people, rushing to send the money, and the cake was afraid that it would not be set, so I had to ask 20 days in advance, is there still the amount after 20 days? How many are left?
Another point, squatting downstairs, I can vaguely hear the people upstairs talking, who is upstairs? Mrs. Hu and the female generals led by General Hua.
Mrs. Hu introduced to Mrs. Niu, "Dahua's surname is Hua, and her family is Orion. The big flowers were followed by the children she picked up. This is Xiaohua, she is nineteen years old this year, and she is past the age of saying that she is married, and she is worried when she sees her, her face is darker than that of a man, who will she marry?
This is Chunhua, eighteen years old this year, six years old when he came to Dahua's side, learning kung fu late, very hard, this child is very accurate in archery, 100 steps through Yang.
Lotus, when Dahua picked her up, she was still a milk baby. I'm afraid that I won't be able to feed her, so I gave her a mare's milk to drink for a few months, and then the military rations and cakes were soaked and fed, and you can see that she has grown into a big girl in a blink of an eye, sixteen! ”
Then there are orchids, safflowers, emerald flowers, blue flowers, and yellow flowers! A row of flower girls, it's really rare to look at! Mrs. Niu calculated one by one, who can say this to, and who is suitable for that.
Staring at Xiaohua is even more smiling, three years older than Changshou, and the female junior hugs the gold brick! What are you afraid of in the long black! It's okay to give birth to a kid and be black, just raise a girl, how many girls are white in the village?
Mrs. Niu pulled Mrs. Hu upstairs, and the two got together to discuss.
"What do you think of my eldest grandson?"
Mrs. Hu frowned and thought for a while, but she didn't remember which kid was the grandson of Boss Niu, not that she had a bad memory, there was a mess of people in the mountains at the beginning, and she never went out of the city since she came back.
"Let's sister, don't be too careful! Don't look at them as female babies, they are all female babies who have been on the battlefield, killed the enemy, and have military exploits, and at worst they are centurions, eating the court and the court! Mrs. Hu held down Mrs. Niu who was about to speak, and said solemnly: "When the court rewarded them, there was a holy decree, and they were raised by the court before they got married. ”
Mrs. Niu opened her mouth and couldn't speak, her grandson and daughter-in-law had a fate, did she go home to kowtow to her grandson and daughter-in-law!
Changle who was squatting downstairs took a look, and the tall little flower went downstairs to greet people, Changle looked straight, it was so good-looking, and it was so cool to be heroic! is the same as the fourth uncle's red dates, looking at the waist is the waist, and the legs are the legs......
"Brother Changle, don't let me stick my head out, what do you see? Tell me about it, what's going on again? Changlian pulled Changle's pants, but you can tell me, what did you see!
"Don't pull your pants, it's indecent." Changle said, grabbing his pants.
Changlu's daughter-in-law laughed and her hands trembled, and she persuaded in a low voice: "Don't look at it, if it's rare, I'll go tell Aunt Niu." ”
"Sister-in-law go and inquire, I'...... I save money and build a house in the spring! "Changle doesn't know if Kaichun can save enough money to build a house, but if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you always have to have something to do!
