"Take a bath."

After the two courtyards were opened, Liu Ruyue did not remove the bathtub (bathroom) next door, and when there were more people in the family, they could also take a bath at the same time.

Luo Mazi quickly mixed the bath water for Liu Ruyue, she took her clothes and went to take a bath, soaked for a while, and then came back to sleep.

In order to have a good New Year, Liu Ruyue did not take orders since the 29th of the lunar month, and she did not accept the appointment until after the Lantern Festival.

After sleeping until dawn, Liu Ruyue got up and took A Ning to Zhuangzi.

Now that she has Qiaoyan and Luo Mazi at home, she can rest assured that she will put Ziyao at home when she goes out.

Because there are very few people in Zhuangzi who know that the master is her, there is no need for Liu Ruyue to buy New Year's goods in person, it is too conspicuous.

There should be arrangements between Cui Rong and Lu Jiu.

They have prepared the New Year's goods, and they have also prepared copper plates, which are ready to be distributed to the people in the village during the New Year.

After giving 50 taels of silver to each of them and telling them how to deal with the people who came to Zhuangzi to inquire, Liu Ruyue and Zhai Ning carried the original pulp wine and went to the back mountain with a basket on their backs.

It was the first time for Zhai Ning to follow Liu Ruyue to cut bamboo, and she asked puzzledly, "Shi Niang, why did you ask me to cut these bamboos tied with red ropes?" Also avoid the section with the red rope tied. ”

"It's my wine." If it weren't for Zhai Ning's dislike of wine, Liu Ruyue would have cut it off for her to taste.

"Can you make wine in bamboo?"

"Yes, and it's very fragrant, with the fragrance of bamboo." Seeing Zhai Ning's interested, Liu Ruyue said, "When we get home, pour a cup and you can taste it, if you like it, you can also taste more, bamboo wine is not too strong and too spicy, suitable for women and scholars." ”

"I'm so excited, then I must try it this time."

Zhai Ning was reliable, just cutting the bamboo over there, and after knowing that the bamboo was wine, she became more and more careful in her movements, so she was worried that she would accidentally cut the bamboo with the wine? Wasted.

Liu Ruyue didn't cut bamboo? Instead, he started looking for young bamboo again and drilled holes? Pour the drink in.

Are the two busy surviving? This time the pouring was much faster than the last time alone.

The two carried 28 bamboo tubes on their backs and carried them down the mountain.

When I went back, I used a carriage to transport a cart of Penglai pulp back.

On weekdays, Lu Jiu will also send someone to deliver wine to the restaurant? Since I came this time, I also took a little car back.

Because the restaurant is not open? Should the door be closed? And the pastry shop is still open, selling some made cakes.

Liu Ruyue originally planned to follow Zhai Ning around and go back from the back door, but saw that the door of the restaurant had been removed and opened.

There appears to be a person sitting in the backlight inside.

Qiao Yan in the shop next door kept waving to her.

"Aning? Stop? I'm down here. ”

"Okay." Zhai Ning also saw Qiao Yan's movements, and pulled the reins in time.

Liu Ruyue got out of the carriage and walked over, Qiao Yan pulled her towards the restaurant, "There is a Lord Lu looking for you." ”

A heart jumped violently, it couldn't be Lu Chengze who came over.

Liu Ruyue gritted her teeth? I didn't let myself show abnormal emotions, but I wondered? "Lord Lu? Is it Lord Lu, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, and Lord Nakalu of the Right Shiro of Zhongshu Province? Or did you just meet that one last night? ”

Qiao Yan was puzzled, "Not the first two?" As for the one that Shi Niang saw last night, I don't know who it is? Pretty young anyway. ”

She showed a little wistful expression again? Jiao said shyly, "It's quite handsome." ”

didn't run, it was Lu Chengze.

Liu Ruyue controlled the disgust in her heart, made a bad look, raised her hand and gently tapped Qiaoyan's head with her index finger, and joked softly, "You, you, are you ashamed, you blush when you see a handsome son, and your eyes are strangely high, and you don't know what kind of man you will grow into in the future." ”

The girl is pregnant with spring, Liu Ruyue knows that Qiaoyan is not a casual person, and she will not scold her for this.

"Shi Niang knew to make fun of me and ignore you." Qiao Yan turned around and pretended to be busy.

Liu Ruyue covered her mouth and smiled, "Then I'll go over to greet the guests, you can guard the shop so well, don't miscalculate the price." ”

Lu Chengze, who was originally leaning against the wall and listening, straightened his waist in an instant.

Liu Ruyue walked out of the pastry shop, went around to the main entrance of the restaurant and entered, and saw Lu Chengze looking like a person holding a book and reading.

This picture overlaps with the countless pictures in his memory that accompanied him to read hard, the more beautiful the past, the more cruel the contrast is now.

Liu Ruyue blinked, eliminated the pictures of people in her mind, smiled generously, and stepped into the restaurant, "Lord Lu, it's really you, if you have anything to do, you still have to go to my small shop in person, if you have anything, just let the little guy in the house run a trip." ”

Lu Chengze saw that her reaction was natural and decent, no different from a businessman who generally wanted to have a relationship with him but pretended to be reserved, and secretly thought that it was just that people looked similar.

If it was Ru Yue, it would be impossible to look at him with such strange eyes.

Her eyes are always full of admiration when she looks at him, how can she be so strange and calm when she meets him again, she is bound to be excited, either extremely loving or extremely hateful.

And Ru Yue can't make wine, can't make exquisite pastries, and can't cook so many dishes that I've never heard of.

It's not a skill that can be learned in a year and a half, or in one place.

After he went home last night, he asked people to inquire about the dishes made by Liu Ruyue, all of which have origins, and she can talk about some customs and customs in combination with her own experience, if she hasn't been there, it is impossible to say as if she was there in person.

"Although I have heard that Shi Niang's cooking dishes are unique and tasteless, I have never been here once because I was busy with official business, and I couldn't eat Shi Niang's food last night, which is a pity."

Liu Ruyue said politely, "It is the luck of Shi Niang to be able to get a compliment from Lord Lu, if Lord Lu wants to taste Shi Niang's craftsmanship and wants to make an appointment, I am afraid that he will have to wait until after the Lantern Festival." ”

Lu Chengze put down the book in his hand, "After the Lantern Festival...... I don't know if Shi Niang can be a special time for Lu? ”

"Ah, Lord Lu wants to eat it now?" Could it be that Lu Chengze wanted to try her cooking skills to judge whether she was Liu Ruyue?

"No, tomorrow night is Chinese New Year's Eve, I want to ask Shi Niang to help make a reunion dinner."

I don't know if it's the reunion dinner on the Huang family's side or the reunion dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Liu Ruyue looked a little thoughtful, "Ah, in this way, my family is going to make a reunion dinner anyway, so I'll make one more, and you can send someone to get it when the time comes." ”

"My father-in-law is Prime Minister Shen, his mouth is very picky, and he has to be stuffed in the food box when he is ready, and if he takes such a long way back, I am afraid that the taste will not be good, so I hope Shi Niang can help and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to cook a table of food."
