Chapter 212: The Pastoral Life of a Peasant Girl (62)
Not long after Gu Wantang returned to the house, the maid beside Yu Changning came to their house, "Master Hou, madam, the prince and the little prince have returned, and the princess asked me to come over and call the two of them over for dinner." ”
Xiao Qingyu and Gu Wantang didn't stay when they heard this, and after standing up, they walked towards Yu Changning's courtyard.
"Qingyi, how about you go outside with your eldest brother in the morning?"
Xiao Qingyi took a sip of tea, then smiled, "I talked to my eldest brother about a business, I gave a shop under my name to my eldest brother, so I can count it as a part!" ”
Xiao Yuran frowned when he heard this, "Qingyi has it, Qingyu also has it, did you only give Qingyu silver, not Qingyu Shop?" ”
Yu Changning smiled faintly when he heard this, "Qingyu's, I haven't sorted it out yet!" After a few days of tidying up, I'll hand it over to Qingyu.
Moreover, Qingyu and the two brothers did not grow up together since they were children, which also helped the two brothers get along. ”
When Xiao Yuran heard this, his frowning brows finally relaxed, Qingyu had grown up beside them, and they had to be able to achieve a bowl of water.
When Xiao Qingyu and Gu Wantang walked outside, they heard this, the two glanced at each other, and then followed in.
Yu Changning saw Gu Wantang and Xiao Qingyu, and there was a smile on his face, "Qingyu, Wantang, come here, this dinner has been coming up for a while, and your speed is too slow." ”
Gu Wantang smiled, "The maid came to call us, and we came, Qingyu Pavilion and your mother are also a little far away, so we are a little late, and when we wait until next time, we will come directly early, as long as our mother doesn't dislike us." ”
Yu Changning listened to this, his eyes were full of smiles, "I was looking forward to your coming back, I naturally want you to spend more time with us, you are here, I am too late to be happy!" ”
Xiao Yuran listened to Gu Wantang and Yu Changning's words, sighed helplessly, and then looked at Gu Wantang and Yu Changning, "Sit down!" ”
Xiao Qingyu and Gu Wantang sat down together, and the family began to have dinner.
"The lunch you have at the Wanhu Hou Mansion today, the cook of the Wanhu Hou Mansion was given by the emperor himself, what do you think of the taste of her cooking?"
Xiao Qingyu raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Wantang when he heard this, "I'll just say that the food made by the chef of the Wanhu Hou Mansion tastes so good, it turns out to be the imperial chef, and then we will have a good taste." ”
After the family had dinner, they talked together for a while, "What are you going to do with the shop?" ”
"Dad hasn't used a toothbrush and toothpaste, this is used up, you need to brush your teeth, my mother will take out the toothbrush and toothpaste, let Dad also see if the toothbrush and toothpaste are suitable to open a shop?" Ranwen.com
Xiao Yuran looked at Yu Changning at a loss, and then looked at Xiao Qingyu and Gu Wantang, some of them didn't understand how the matter of opening a shop came to this toothbrush and toothpaste!
Yu Changning said with a smile on his face, "This toothbrush and toothpaste are very easy to use, after you went out today, I entered the palace once and presented these two things to the emperor, and the emperor was full of praise for both things."
With the emperor's praise, when your shop opens, my mother will ask the emperor for a plaque, and when the time comes, as soon as the shop opens, business will be booming. ”
Listening to Yu Changning's words, Gu Wantang was really surprised, although he also knew that Yu Changning was the kind of person who thought of one out and one out, but he didn't expect Yu Changning to present the toothbrush and toothpaste to the emperor so quickly this time.
"Thank you, mother."
"Say thank you, you gave me the toothbrush and toothpaste, didn't you just let me give it to the emperor? If the emperor uses it, then the concubines in the harem and the ministers in the court will follow suit, and before it opens, the reputation of your shop has already been beaten! ”
After Xiao Yuran used the toothbrush and toothpaste, he looked at the green salt and willow branches placed on the side, his eyes were full of disgust, "This thing is good, in the future, we will not need this green salt and willow branches." ”
The corners of Gu Wantang's mouth twitched, there are so many people in this house, if everyone uses toothbrushes and toothpaste, she doesn't know how much her merit and luck will be negative?
Fortunately, although Xiao Yuran said so, he didn't mean to let Gu Wantang match everyone with toothbrushes and toothpaste, but just said that several masters of the palace used toothbrushes and toothpaste, and the rest of the stewards and servants must still use green salt and willow branches.
A month passed in a flash, and during this time, Gu Wantang almost stayed in the kitchen, first in the kitchen of the palace for twenty days, and then went to the Wanhu Hou Mansion for ten days.
In the past month, everyone felt very strange that Gu Wantang had been staying in the kitchen, after all, whether it was Xiao Qingyu or Yu Changning, they all thought that Gu Wantang just needed to know a little cooking, but they didn't expect Gu Wantang to take root directly into the kitchen.
The cook of Wanhu Hou Mansion looked at Gu Wantang's fried dishes, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were full of joy when she looked at Gu Wantang, but in an instant, it dimmed again, "You can learn from me!" ”
Hearing this, Gu Wantang also picked up the chopsticks and picked up a chopstick dish, feeling the taste of this dish, Gu Wantang's eyes also narrowed slightly, "Thank you Master Liu, I will go to the imperial chef to learn for a period of time in the future, so I can't come." ”
Chef Liu sighed when she heard this, "The master in the palace will not teach you cooking skills, you can't learn any good cooking skills in the palace, if you still think that your cooking skills can be improved, you don't need to go to the palace, you can go to several restaurants in the capital, each restaurant has a chef, and after you have learned the chef's cooking skills, you will definitely be better than the imperial chef in the palace." ”
Although Chef Liu said so, Gu Wantang did not mean to give up in the palace first, after all, her cooking skills have reached 75%, although there is still 25%, but the progress after that will definitely be faster than before.
When Gu Wantang returned to the palace, it was still early, she was now in the kitchen of the palace, and the people in the kitchen were no longer surprised, seeing that Gu Wantang was coming, the kitchen steward greeted her with a smile, "Wantang is here, is it going to show us a hand?" ”
Gu Wantang smiled when she heard this, "It's not a show of your hand, I told my mother and them before, after I learned the cooking skills from Wanhu Hou, I will come back to cook for them once!" ”
