Chapter 273
He laughed twice, hurriedly handed Qiu Lisi'er over, fanned the wind with the palm of his hand, looked up at the roof and said, "It's autumn, but it's still very hot in this kitchen." ”
Lin Baoru put the autumn pear silk and red date rock sugar into the pot and boiled. In order to ensure the viscous consistency and effect, she didn't dare to put half a drop of water.
In fact, autumn pears are moist and moist, as long as they are stirred diligently, the pear shreds will soon be able to ooze enough soup after being heated.
Seeing Lin Baoru struggling to stir a whole pot of autumn pear silk, her head was sweating.
Liu Shulai didn't laugh anymore, he stretched out his hand and pushed the person to the side, and by the way, he took the spoon and said disgustedly: "As for your little arms and legs, you are not afraid of being tired and thin." ”
When Lin Baoru heard this, she rubbed her arm and said, "I don't know if it's for which guy who wants to eat sweets." ”
Liu Shulai smiled sideways and said, "Then I'm not here to do coolies for you too?" ”
Because Liu Shu came over, Aunt Liu had no room to meddle. But seeing that it was almost time for dinner, it was time for her to prepare lunch.
Wait until Liu Shulai followed Lin Baoru's guidance and boiled a pot of autumn pear soup with Chuanbei powder and Poria powder. When it was thick, I was already tired and didn't want to say half a sentence.
Obediently, I knew that if I had to stir and boil like this for nearly half an hour, even if I beat him to death, he would not rob this drudgery.
But the errands have been grabbed, and I still dislike the black heart lotus, if I give up halfway, won't I make myself a joke?
So, he gritted his teeth and boiled the honey cream. Even, he helped the black heart lotus, spoonful by spoon, into a ceramic jar and sealed it.
However, Rao felt tired in his heart, but when he saw the sweet honey paste into the jar, it gradually became sticky. When it thickened, the eyes were already bright.
When he went to the outside to sheng, for the sake of good taste, he added a few more spoonfuls of honey in front of the black heart lotus. Although it has several white eyes of the Black Heart Lotus, it is worth it after all.
Now Liu Shulai, where can he still remember the jumping energy when he first knew that his mother had married him to a country girl. It is estimated that he even forgot about the fact that he once got together with Zhang Xunsheng and Chen Rong and wondered how to give Lin Baoru a horse.
What's more, he wanted to coax Lin Baoru to do this and that, and then ruthlessly disgraced her thoughts.
Although the autumn pear paste boiled in the pot is basically scooped out, there is always a lot of it on the bottom of the pot. Lin Baoru simply took some warm boiled water and poured it in, and waited until the warm water washed away the remaining autumn pear paste in the pot, so that people could put out a few bowls to get over the addiction first.
Liu Shulai, who was smoked with smoke, grabbed the first bowl without concession. At this entrance, a rich sweet taste exploded in his mouth, which directly surprised Liu Shulai, who had not eaten sweet snacks for several days.
The rest of the kitchen lady and the little maid, as well as the little maid who got the letter, came over, saying that they wanted to help with the work, but in fact, they wanted to rub their mouths and snacks, and they were also given a bowl of honey paste water. Those who rejoiced were as if they had won the jackpot......
Lin Baoru is not stingy, she left a jar of honey paste in the back kitchen, and asked people to send a jar to the main courtyard and the west courtyard.
Thinking about the past two days, she estimated that Li Yufeng would have to get angry in a hurry, so she simply asked Xiaohua to send someone to the county government to see if Miss Li was gone. If she doesn't leave, bring her two jars of autumn pear paste back.
In this way, there were only three small jars left in the autumn pear paste, which was not much in the first place.
Liu Shulai was unhappy, for fear that she would think of someone again, so she hurriedly took the remaining two cans away, "Why are you like this, you said that you boiled it for me, why don't you turn around and give it away first!" You're not kind enough to do this. ”
Although Lin Baoru didn't stir much, she was guarding the stove, and she was sweating all over her body right now, so she thought about going back and washing it quickly, and by the way, she also drank some autumn pear paste to moisten her throat.
So, she pushed Liu Shulai and whispered: "You can just keep two cans to eat, when we went back to the village last time, didn't I give you the dried candied peaches." It just so happens that the shop is not busy now, let's go back tomorrow to take a look, and if the pickling is done, I will bring you some more. ”
As soon as she said this, Liu Shulai reluctantly became generous. But that's only because he didn't snatch back the jar of honey paste left in the back kitchen!
Now Liu's mansion is calm.
And Mrs. Liu went to the temple today to ask for a signature, and she got two signatures in succession. One of them signed a document, and even got the host's personal approval.
She didn't understand the original words of the signature. However, the master said that there was a noble man in her house, and this noble man was blessed with great fortune and could run a house in peace. She thought about it, didn't she say it like her own daughter-in-law?
What's more, the signature she drew for Liu Shuyan is "Creation and life come from nature, and the teacher is blessed for thousands of miles; In terms of fame, the gods help, and the snake and rabbit reunite to determine the change".
Although she didn't understand what it meant, she heard the master's words in her heart, "Although you are sick for a long time, you can be cured, and this son will be blessed".
Not to mention whether it is true or not, but it is indeed what she wants. Ranwen.com
Now, when she returns home, she is even happier when she receives the honey paste boiled in autumn pears. Although she doesn't expect this thing to cure her son's illness, in her opinion, it can be regarded as her daughter-in-law's heart.
After listening to the housekeeper talk about the Li family's door, she was worried about Liu Shuyan's body. But when she heard that her son was in a good mood, not only was he not frightened, but he was much more energetic, she finally exhaled deeply.
"It's really like what the master said, Baoru's girl is the nobleman of Liu's Mansion."
The fat aunt who was waiting for Mrs. Liu to drink tea heard this, and then nodded and said: "The slave looks like it, you see that the young lady has not been in the door for a few days, and our house is surrounded like an iron bucket." In the past, those who ate inside and out, obviously holding the moon silver issued by their wife, but turned their heads to nod to the patriarch and a few uncles, but now they are all clamping their tails and being people. ”
"Although the slave doesn't understand the things in the shop, when I go back these few nights, I can listen to my family talk about the excitement in the shop now." The fat aunt smiled and said, "In the past, although our cloth village had a good business, it was not one of the best. But since the young lady took care of it, those ladies and ladies in the back house, as well as the fabrics of the Xiao family's ready-to-wear shop, have all begun to be ordered from the Liu family's cloth village. ”
Therefore, even if there are not many people in the shop on weekdays, in fact, the business is good.
Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea comfortably, and said with a happy face: "Speaking of which, it is still thanks to the beauty and skin care products produced in the workshop in her hand." Don't you know that a few days ago, when I went to a small gathering of merchants' wives, there were still people who sneered at me in order to please the lady of the grocery store. But they don't know that from the town to the state town, eight out of ten official ladies and ladies have set up beauty soap and lotion in our shop......"
Beauty soap is good to say that beauty soap is good for beauty, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can basically buy it.
But those whitening and fragrant rose water, as well as his daughter-in-law's special lotion and body lotion, are hard to find. But whenever those ladies and ladies want to have a bottle, they have to speak in advance.
In such a situation, those who want to buy cloth, especially the people of this town, where will they not give Liu Fu a favor? Anyway, wherever the cloth goes, I buy it from the Liu family's shop, and I am always embarrassed to open my mouth regardless of whether I meet in the future, or if I want to order some new goods over others.
Of course, the same is probably true of Liu's other shops. Especially in the fruit tree orchard on the Zhuangzi, the sweet persimmons, pomegranates and chestnuts that were just harvested a few days ago were sold in addition to Liufu's own doorway, and a large part of them were some wealthy people in the vicinity, who directly called their subordinates to buy them.
Those people were happy to give money, but most of them explained a few words to the name of their own master with the steward. Naturally, when they were talking, they didn't forget to let the housekeeper say a few words in front of her, hoping that Liu's shop could prepare more lotions and skin lotion......
After coming and going, where can't Mrs. Liu hear the voices of those people?
It's nothing more than that I feel that the rose water and other things that are limited to sale every month in Liu's shop are really rare. In addition, the removal of those who had to be sent to the state city to the female dependents of several adults, the rest was not enough for them to rob.
So, speaking of which, these changes are still due to Baoru's ability.
Anyway, the more Mrs. Liu thought about it, the more satisfied she felt. To be honest, even when she knew that the Lin family had started a business under the control of Baoru girl, and the business was doing very well, she never thought that the girl was really such a treasure.
At that time, she valued the future of the Lin family's workshop, and what she could think of was to let her use the things produced in the workshop to bring her own rouge shop, and then maintain contacts with those official ladies for the Liu Mansion.
Unexpectedly, in just a few months, it was no longer her who wanted to bother maintaining the relationship. It is the ladies of wealthy families who have used the beauty and skin care products produced by the Lin family's workshop and have personally felt the effect.
More importantly, the profitability of the rouge shop has jumped from losing money year after year to the existence of Liujia Restaurant.
It can be said that in the past few years, even when her own master was alive, she had never seen anyone who could do this in such a short period of time.
"By the way, the pomegranates and chestnuts that Zhuangzi sent back a few days ago, did you have someone send them to your mother-in-law?"
"On the day you said that, the housekeeper arranged for someone to send it. An pomegranate and chestnut each gave a basket. According to what you said, in addition to the amount of the in-laws' wife's own taste, the housekeeper also helped the other side calculate the amount enough to give favors. ”
Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded: "That's good, the peasant family pays the most attention to human feelings, if we send less, we will embarrass the mother-in-law." ”
It's all a family, not to mention that their son married Baoru, so even if their family robbed the Lin family of the second room, it would be a big benefit.
Otherwise, with Baoru's mind, why can't you build the Lin family's second house industry in a short period of time?
Now, not only did he take the majority of the workshop's dividends, but even people were deceived into Liu's house!
If it's a good one, or if Baoru girl can't do it, maybe she doesn't think it's anything.
It's just her own son, even if her daughter-in-law says that he is good in every way, but can she, a mother, know what kind of virtue her son is?
Every time Mrs. Liu thought of this, she inevitably felt a little ashamed in her heart, and naturally thought about making up for the Lin family.
Besides, it's all a family, and she won't pick and instigate something to make her mother dislike her.
Lin Baoru, who had been busy all day, came to Liu Shulai, and it was rare to freshen up early in the morning and go back to the house to rest.
Liu Shulai was in a very good mood because he had drunk enough honey cream water, and while helping Lin Baoru twist his hair, he was talking about what he had inquired about outside.
