CHAPTER XLII

Of course, Huayitang changed the owner, but the princess just asked, Fang Hui took over, she is a fly and a dog, naturally only looking at her own interests, so she will not care about the business of the pharmacy, and it is already her conscience whether she can make money or lose money.

"Shopkeeper Li, I see that Huayitang's business is very good, why don't you make money?" Xie Ruqing asked again.

Shopkeeper Li smiled and twisted his beard, "Madam, let me tell you this, all businesses have a saturation period, our medicinal material business has a strong development momentum in the past few years, many people have made a fortune by selling medicinal materials, don't you see that the medicinal material shops in the capital are increasing year by year, which leads to a problem, there are too many medicinal materials in the pharmacy and the price is naturally high. ”

Xie Ruqing understood, Fang Hui made fake accounts to tear down the east and make up for the west wall, either the income of the pharmacy made up for other places, or as the shopkeeper Li said, he had no vision for business.

"Xiao Yanzi, if I don't look at your daughter-in-law's face, I don't care if you can have sex or not, be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs!" Outside, Wang Chong shouted.

When Xie Ruqing heard this, the tea in his mouth sprayed directly.

She didn't know whether to be surprised or laugh at the "little Yanzi" for a while

"Ruqing, it's not early, it's time to eat osmanthus lotus." Qi Yanzhi didn't care about Wang Chong at all, and just called Xie Ruqing.

"What, there is osmanthus lotus, where is there osmanthus lotus? Why not my share! Wang Chong jumped outside, "If you don't give me food, I'll poison you!" ”

"You go down." Qi Yanzhi squinted at him, "You can't eat it if you are poisoned." ”

Xie Ruqing and Shopkeeper Li stood outside the door and laughed. Wang was so angry that he was going to die, and when he saw Xie Ruqing, he was blessed to his heart: "If you don't give me food, I won't treat your daughter-in-law!" ”

Qi Yanzhi's eyes immediately swept towards him, "What disease?" ”

Wang Chong startled him, "What kind of eyes do you have, why do you want to eat people?" Immediately reacted that he was a nervous daughter-in-law, as if he was pinching the handle, he was fearless, pinching his waist: "What's the matter, are you afraid, come and beg me, but this is not something that a bowl of osmanthus lotus can solve." ”

"Let's go." Qi Yanzhi rolled his eyes and said to Xie Ruqing.

Xie Ruqing sneered, nodded, and the husband and wife walked away, Wang Chong almost fainted, "Okay, Qi Yanzhi!" You wait for me! ”

This year, Yao Guifei is going to set up a banquet in the harem, saying that the ladies and ladies who want to enter the palace will each prepare a bowl of Laba porridge, which must be made by themselves, and there will be rewards for doing a good job at that time.

The day before, Mama Liu soaked the beans in advance, because she had to boil for a long time, so Mama Liu didn't let Xie Ruqing do it, saying that she would stay up late to make porridge.

"Girl, don't fight with me, how can you do this kind of work, when the time comes, if you are confused or the heat is not enough, won't you lose face, although we don't have to ask for the reward, but at least don't be ashamed."

Ruhuan also said: "Yes, girl, I don't believe that those young ladies in the capital will cook themselves, and you shouldn't be too real, lest they laugh at you when the time comes." ”

Xie Ruqing put down the account book and looked up and smiled, "It's okay, it's just a reason to have fun, it's really not good, nurse, you tell me how long I can stay up, I won't be too stupid." ”

Mama Liu's cooking skills, she really boiled it out, and when the time comes, she has to steal the limelight, the young lady and the ladies know a few pounds and a few taels, you don't eat well at most and laugh at most, if you are top-notch, it is endless trouble, in case you deduct a "bully", it is too late to cry.

Mama Liu said that she couldn't help it, and reluctantly led Xie Ruqing into the kitchen, "Girl, why don't you stay up early tonight to save you a delay." ”

"The porridge overnight doesn't taste good, so let's make it first in the morning, is an hour enough?" Xie Ruqing asked,

"It's enough, it's enough, you just get up an hour early." In fact, Mama Liu boiled for more than an hour, she has an exclusive secret recipe, the porridge boiled out is glutinous and fragrant, not to be boiled into a paste, every year the girl has to drink three bowls, but she feels sorry for the girl to get up too early, so she lied that it was enough, and she planned to boil it in the pot first, anyway, it was the same for the girl later.

How did Xie Ru guess that Mama Liu was fooling her again, so she got up two hours early, and the kitchen light was really on.

When she came out of the room, she happened to meet Qi Yanzhi, who had just come out of the medicinal bath, the other party was wearing a white cloak, scattered long hair, black and white, which was particularly pleasing to the eye at night.

"What are you doing now?" Qi Yanzhi stared at her lightly, "I don't know how to wear more." As he spoke, he pushed the wheelchair to her, took off his cloak and handed it to her.

Xie Ruqing saw that he was a little sluggish, and he didn't react for a while, and then smiled after a while, "Oh...... No, I'll go to the kitchen and keep the stove cold. It's you, wash your hair and hurry back to your room. ”

"Kitchen? You really make your own porridge. Qi Yanzhi squinted with a smile, and said in his heart This girl is really real, "You put the rice in the pot, and boil it by yourself, and it depends on luck to boil out something." ”

Xie Ruqing laughed, "I've always had bad luck, so let's keep it, it's already up anyway." ”

"Well, when you can get through it tomorrow, can you give me a bowl to try?"

Under the moonlight, Qi Yanzhi's eyes were clear and hazy, Xie Ruqing always felt that her heart could not be calm when she met his eyes, at first she was a little afraid of his eyes, and always subconsciously dodged, and then opened up to him, and she didn't feel anything, but now, the feeling of wanting to dodge came again, but it was different from before.

"Okay, but don't dislike it, it's possible to boil it into a pot of paste, or simply make a paste." Xie Ruqing said casually, "Then I'll go first, you sleep well." ”

"Hmm." Qi Yanzhi nodded and watched her leave.

After returning to the room, he called Aoyama, gave a few words and went to rest.

Xie Ruqing rubbed his hands on the stove for a while, it was really cold after staying outside for a long time, and the fire on the stove was lit by Mama Liu in advance, and the temperature was suitable for cooking porridge at this time.

She sat on the small stool, looking at the materials that Mama Liu had prepared in advance, for fear that she would forget, so she deliberately placed them in the order of delivery, and told her which beans were resistant to cooking and which were not, she felt that there was no problem at all, stood up confidently, added water to the pot, and poured the first bowl of beans into it first.

How long does it take to cook these beans? She frowned and thought about it, she didn't think about it for a long time, she picked up the second bowl of beans, looked at the size and shape, it seemed to be about the same as the first one, and the estimated time should be the same, so she went in. Horizontal and vertical are to be cooked, not bad for a while.

The stove was very warm, she sat for a while and was a little sleepy, the time was not easy to grasp, so she put the latter two into it, and couldn't help but sigh why so many beans, the same is really troublesome.

She vaguely remembered that the boiling time was relatively short, so she waited patiently, and after a while, a person came into the kitchen, and it was Qingshan who was holding a pot of tea.

"Madame, are you thirsty?" Qingshan smiled and said, "Childe called me, saying that you are easy to get thirsty after staying by the stove for a long time, so I specially made a pot of flower tea and asked me to bring it." ”
