Huang Yi'an couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhang Xi's eyes widening, and said: "The stove has always been taken care of by Granny Wang, and I am only occasionally in the mood to cook and fiddle with it." ”

Zhang Xi usually comes to the door, and she will send someone to inform her in advance, she wants to prepare to entertain guests, so naturally she will not cook.

Who knew that Zhang Xi would suddenly visit without breakfast today, and he happened to bump into this scene.

Zhang Xi nodded clearly, and asked curiously, "What do you do?" Can I go and have a look? ”

"Steamed flower rolls, fried dumplings." Huang Yi'an smiled, raised his face-stained hand, and asked, "Sister Zhang, do you want to try?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Xi was not hesitant, pushing Huang Yi'an to the back room, while chattering, "Are the flower rolls made of flowers?" I've eaten dim sum made into all kinds of flowers, are they the same? Why is the dumpling bait not steamed or boiled, but fried? And ......"

Huang Yi'an patiently explained one by one: "No, it's to twist the dough into strands...... It can be served with chopped green onions...... After the dumplings are fried, they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, well, a bit similar to eating stuffed oil cakes, but the skin is more crispy......"

Lan Xin saw that the two of them were talking and walking away, so she hurriedly handed over the arrival salute to Ah Mei and chased after her.

The Wang family was busy working in the kitchen, but Huang Yi'an actually brought Zhang Xi with him, and hurriedly said, "Why did you bring Miss Zhang here?" Let's go freshen up and accompany Miss Zhang to the flower hall for tea. ”

Lan Xin hurriedly stepped forward and curtled his knees and smiled: "Mrs. Huang is an elder, let's go and rest, there are slaves and maids here to help take care of it." ”

Wang glanced at the maid brought by Zhang Xi, and couldn't help but hesitate.

The small kitchen really can't stand up to so many people.

Huang Yi'an smiled and persuaded: "Mother, go and rest in peace, Sister Zhang is not an outsider." ”

These words won Zhang Xi's heart, and she hurriedly smiled to help.

So Wang was hugged out by Lan Xin and the others in a daze, and it was not until she returned to the main courtyard that she came to her senses: she actually rested by herself and let the daughter of the British Mansion make breakfast on the stove!

It's outrageous!

Fortunately, the lord went to the Ya early today, otherwise he bumped into it, and she had to count her as a snub to the distinguished guest?

Wang was dizzy in the main room, and Zhang Xi was also busy in the kitchen.

"No, Sister Zhang, the dough is not a sandbag, don't beat it if you want to knead ......it."

"Miss, the dumpling bait you wrapped is exposed......

"Wait, Sister Zhang! The flower roll has just been made, let it sit for a while, and then it can be steamed in the pot when it is ready......"

"Oops, it's fried, everyone get out of the way......"

……

Mrs. Wang looked at the kitchen that was in chaos because of Zhang Xi's joining, and silently stepped aside to clean up the messy things in the kitchen.

A breakfast, in this panic, was finally served on the table.

Zhang Xi looked at the steamed flower rolls made by Huang Yi'an and the fried dumplings that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and then looked at the dough that he made that could not be seen in shape, and couldn't help but be very deflated.

"It's the first time Sister Zhang has done it, and it's already very good to be able to do it like this." Huang Yi'an comforted her, "I also studied for a long time before I learned it!" ”

Zhang Xi sighed and gave up on himself: "Forget it, it's okay to play on a whim, instead of spending time fiddling with these doughs, it's better to go and make sandbags!" ”

Huang Yi'an had to comfort her again, saying that kneading dough is the same as punching a sandbag, there is no superiority or inferiority, it just depends on personal preference.

said that it was good to say bad, and Zhang Xi was happy again.

Lan Xin looked at it from the side and sighed, obviously Miss Huang is two years older than Miss Huang, and she looks quite calm on weekdays, why does she look like a child who is a scoundrel when she arrives in front of Miss Huang......

After breakfast, the two sat under the porch to eat tea and gossip, admiring the few budding lotus plants raised in the water tank under the root of the wall.

Huang Yi'an then remembered and asked, "By the way, Sister Zhang came in a hurry today, but what's the important matter?" ”

Zhang Xi patted his head and sighed with a smile: "Oh, look at me, I forgot about my business because of steamed flower rolls and fried dumpling bait!" ”

Said, said excitedly: "Yesterday, the 'Haiyan Heqing' paper kite of the five-zhang wind to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager Cisheng shined, not only the Empress Dowager praised it, but even His Majesty did not hesitate to commend it, and gave the Wuzhang wind the imperial book 'the first paper kite in the world' on the spot!"

"Now, Wuzhang Feng is completely famous all over the world, leaving other peers far behind!"

Huang Yi'an was very shocked when he heard this.

Empress Dowager Li praised her and she could understand, how could even the emperor get involved?

You must know that Zhang Shoufu and Empress Dowager Li have always been very strict with the emperor, because the emperor was proud of his outstanding calligraphy, wrote a few more words to reward his courtiers, and invited Zhang Shoufu to praise, he was strictly taught by Zhang Shoufu: "Emperor Wu of Liang, Empress Chen, Emperor Yang of Sui, and Huizong of Song can all be good at painting, but they are all helpless in the chaos." It can be seen that the greatness of Junde is not between skills. ”

The emperor was shocked when he heard this, so he gave up calligraphy and plunged into the pile of books, learning the virtues and ethics of the saints in the past, and determined to be a good emperor who was diligent and loved the people, and led Daqi to a glorious and prosperous era.

How could such an emperor write an inscription for a plaything like a paper kite?

Huang Yi'an was puzzled.

The emperor in this life seems to be a little different from the previous life, compared with the emperor in the previous life who sat in the palace and buried himself in handling government affairs, the emperor's behavior in the past six months can be called "absurd".

For example, at the Spring Festival party, he secretly observed the women in Diecuixuan, such as going to Nanhaizi for a spring safari on the Shangsi Festival, such as the last time he went out of the palace to eat tea and listen to the play, and then for example, he has always "cherished words like gold", and he will personally inscribe "the world's first paper kite" for Wuzhang Fengyubi......

After thinking about it for a long time, Huang Yi'an came up with a reluctant reason for the emperor's move: the emperor is probably to honor the Empress Dowager Li and make her happy.

After all, the emperor at this time still respected and filial piety to the Empress Dowager Li.

At this time, Zhang Xi had already described the grand occasion of the "Haiqing Heyan" paper kite at the birthday banquet.

"This time, Liu Shaodong has to thank you well!" Zhang Xi and Yourong raised their chin and said proudly, "Otherwise, I won't agree!" ”

Huang Yi'an smiled and didn't speak.

When it should be hers, she naturally won't push it.

However, in order to invite fame this time, Wuzhangfeng is afraid that he will spend a lot of money to invite celebrities to paint and dredge up relationships...... For the sake of Liu Ji's sincerity in the past, she decided that she would give more and less to the other party.

When doing business, we should take a long-term view.

If the wind is strong, she can continue to make money.

Facts have proved that Liu Ji is also a very far-sighted person, even if the cost of this birthday sacrifice is huge, he still sent Huang Yi'an a generous reward in time - three hundred taels of silver.

plus the last 100 taels, this birthday gift Huang Yi'an received a total of 400 taels of silver.

Wang saw the neatly stacked white flowers and silver on the table, and his eyes were almost blinded.

"This, so much silver?" Wang couldn't believe it.

Isn't it just a paper kite, something that can't be eaten or drunk, but it's worth so much silver?

"This is not an ordinary paper kite, it is a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager Cisheng!" Huang Yi'an said with a smile, and then told the Wang family about "Haiyan Heqing" and the emperor's imperial pen inscription.

Wang's eyes widened in shock, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

She knew that her daughter was powerful, but she was far from expecting it to be so powerful!
