The aroma wafts out as the leaves are uncovered, and the room is filled with the unique aroma of roast duck.

Qi Niang sniffed her nose, she was not unfamiliar with this smell. smiled and said, "I know, are you having a treat at home and want to buy a few more roast ducks?" ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "Qi Niang guessed wrong." Look at this roast duck, is there any difference between it and the roast duck in cyclamen? ”

"The difference?" Qi Niang was puzzled for a moment, and then looked at the roast duck wrapped in the leaves.

In fact, after such a long time, the roast duck is no longer as good as when it was first baked. And it's not so (rè) steamy, and the aroma is much worse. But after all, this roast duck is a rarity, and it is also a well-known signboard of the cyclamen house, so Qi Niang didn't think there was anything special at a glance, but when she looked at it again, she felt that something was wrong.

Thinking about what Su Jinyao said again, he guessed: "The difference, this duck is much better-looking, not burnt, and the color is still bright." Although the taste is similar, this should not be the roast duck of cyclamen. ”

"Yes, this is our secret recipe for roasted ducks." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pointed to the roast duck and said, "I want the Zhao Dadong family in the cyclamen residence to taste my roast duck." But if I go to the cyclamen house to find Zhao Dadong's house, I must have been blasted out by the guy before I saw anyone, so I have to bother Qi Niang. ”

"Yo, is your little girl thinking about smashing the signboard of the cyclamen house?" Qi Niang has seen a lot, and when she saw Su Jinyao's posture, she felt that this matter was definitely not simple.

Although Qi Niang and Su Jinyao are very close to each other, this kind of fighting oiran (qíng) has been told to her; But after all, Zhao Dadong's family is the big owner behind the scenes of Cyclamen and Red Sleeve Fang, and Qi Niang is equivalent to holding the rice bowl given by Zhao Dadong's family in her hand, so she naturally spoke to the Zhao family first. So as soon as she saw Su Jinyao take out the roast duck, she knew that the posture was wrong, so she naturally had the heart to be wary.

Su Jinyao was so smart, she immediately shook her head and said, "Don't get me wrong, if I want to smash the signboard of the Cyclamen Residence, do I still need to come to the Red Sleeve Workshop to beg Qi Niang to do this?" All I need to do is roast a few ducks and take them to the door of the cyclamen house and shout for them, right? ”

"Hmph, if you do that, I'm afraid you'll have to be thrown out of Anji City with people and ducks now." Qi Niang glared at Su Jinyao and said, "Okay, don't sell it, hurry up and make it clear." Qi Niang, I have to tell you that Zhao Dadong's family is good, and they are also very good to us, so we will try our best to protect him. But although Zhao Dadong's family is good, he is not a small person without temper and power. I won't let you make a fuss with a little girl like you who thinks she has a pound or two. ”

What Qi Niang said is very true, because a little girl like Su Jinyao, who has no money and no power, really can't fight the rich armor on this side.

Su Jinyao listened to Qi Niang's words, but she didn't mean to be angry, she just smiled and said, "Then I'll tell the truth." My family's roast duck skills are also good, but the small place is poor and remote, and I can't afford to do such a big business. I thought about selling the recipe for our roast duck to Zhao Dadong's family, so that we wouldn't have to worry about having no food with a golden rice bowl. ”

"What? Are you going to sell the secret recipe for roast duck to our Zhao Dadong's family? Qi Niang really couldn't believe it.

Who doesn't know that the roast duck in the cyclamen house is a secret recipe that has been passed down by the Zhao family for generations. Nowadays, the business of cyclamen is good, and most of it is because the roast duck is selling well, and all the people around have to come and try it. But Su Jinyao said that her family's formula was going to be sold to the Zhao family, which was not equivalent to playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

Su Jinyao had to point to the roast duck again and said, "The things are here, or how to ask Qi Niang for help." Maybe Zhao Dadong's family is here, and he is really interested in my secret recipe, isn't it equivalent to fulfilling me. ”

Qi Niang felt that this matter was not a score, and shook her head and said: "How can Zhao Dadong's family be free, he can't be busy with a few ovens of roast duck every morning and afternoon." ”

"Qi Niang, if you say that, I can only take the roast duck to the door of the cyclamen to sell it." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she rolled up the leaves and wrapped the roast duck and was about to leave.

Qi Niang grabbed her and said, "Alas, little girl, don't leave yet, let's talk about what to do about this." Anyway, I'm not going to let you smash the cyclamen signboard. ”

"Qi Niang, this is business. As long as you invite Zhao Dadong's family to come, the matter of fighting the oiran (qíng) at night will be wrapped up in me (shēn), isn't it okay? Su Jinyao had to guarantee all the things about Dou Huakui (qíng), hoping that Qi Niang would believe her once.

Hearing Su Jinyao mention the matter of Dou Huakui again, Qi Niang said: "Jinyao, if it weren't for some of the points you gave to Miss Ming and Ziruo before, so that the current (shēn) prices of the two of them are rising, I wouldn't have believed you like that." But what you said about the roast duck, Qi Niang at most is to help you invite Zhao Dadong's family, and then put the roast duck on the table, and the rest (qíng) depends on the Dadong's intentions. ”

Su Jinyao said: "That's what I mean. As long as Zhao Dadong's family can see my roast duck, then everything will be easy to discuss in the future. ”

Qi Niang said: "That's okay, I'll call someone to invite the big boss now." But if the owner is busy at this time, we will have to wait. ”

After speaking, Qi Niang did not delay, and immediately called a small servant and asked him to invite Zhao Dadong's family to come over to the Red Sleeves Workshop. He also said that if the owner asked, he would say that it was because of the Oiran in the ring at night.

"Just waiting for the effort, I helped Qi Niang pick out the girl who fought the Oiran at night." Su Jinyao thought for a while, and asked, "Forget about Miss Ming and Miss Ziruo, the two of them are now famous, and it is estimated that the (chūn) Immortal Pavilion is also on guard against them." It would be good if this fight of flowers wins, and it will be a good thing for either of them to win; But what if...... That would be tantamount to smashing the signboard of the Red Sleeve Fang. ”

Qi Niang said: "That's the reason, so I'm in a dilemma who to choose." ”

Su Jinyao seemed to have an idea, so she said, "Then let's take it by surprise." Qi Niang called out all the best girls dancing in the Red Sleeves Workshop. It doesn't matter if it's red or not, it's better if it's not red, and it won't go unnoticed by the (chūn) Immortal Pavilion, and there will be no way to deal with us. ”

"Okay, then you can come downstairs with me. I called up the girls who could still see them and danced well. After Qi Niang finished speaking, she took Su Jinyao to the hall downstairs.

While walking, when I saw a girl passing by, Qi Niang ordered: "You go and call Yingmei, Taohong and Zhuxuan." And that new Autumn Shadow. ”

The girl said yes, and walked a few steps to call someone. At this time, several girls heard that Qi Niang was going to call someone, and saw Qi Niang and Su Jinyao walking together, so they also followed (rè) to see something new.

When Qi Niang pulled Su Jinyao to sit next to the Eight Immortals table in the hall, Miss Ming and Miss Ziruo also came down.

Miss Ming had a sweet mouth, and when she saw Qi Niang and Su Jinyao sitting side by side, she smiled and said, "Qi Niang looks so good today, and she looks good." This makeup was painted by Sister Jinyao, right? Ten years younger all of a sudden. I see, when you fight the Oiran at night, Qi Niang just needs to come to the stage, and you are guaranteed to be the number one beauty in Anji City. ”

Although Qi Niang knew that Miss Ming was deliberately coaxing her to be happy, she also listened to the good words, so she smiled and said, "That's right, it's the makeup that Jinyao put on me." She is also skillful in her hands and clever in her brain. Can you all guess what we're doing here? ”

Ziruo looked at Su Jinyao, then at Qi Niang, and guessed: "I think, it's probably for the matter of fighting the oiran (qíng), right?" Sister Jinyao, but what can she do? ”

Su Jinyao just pursed her lips and smiled, and then said, "I don't know if my method works." But ah, if the person I picked becomes popular this time, you will have another top girl in the Red Sleeves. ”

Qi Niang said: "That's good, those who are willing to spend a lot of money for recreation still like a freshness." If there is one more top girl, everyone will definitely rush to cheer for it. ”

As he was talking, several girls came down upstairs one after another. However, only four of them walked straight towards Qi Niang, and they should be Yingmei, Taohong, Zhuxuan and Qiu Ying that Qi Niang said.

These four girls can be said to have their own merits, some are dignified, some are playful, some are graceful, and some are beautiful, but the (shēn) section is very good, and the appearance is also good, but it is really not as good-looking as Ming Girl and Ziruo.

The four girls lined up in front of the Eight Immortals table, and they all blessed Qi Niang with blessing (shēn), and then said hello to Ming Girl and Zi Ruo respectively. Then he stood still. But there was still a girl who looked at Su Jinyao and bowed slightly to Su Jinyao, which was regarded as a greeting.

Because only one of the four girls nodded with herself, Su Jinyao also gave her a special look. I saw that this girl (shēn) was tall, slender, and had a pair of apricot eyes, which made her look very energetic. However, the facial features are not so delicate, the face plate is slightly larger, and the nose is not so (tǐng); A mouth is good-looking, and the lip shape is very distinct, that is, the upper and lower lips are relatively thick.

In fact, this girl's appearance is more in line with the modern (xìng) sense of shape, and has a special charm, like a royal sister. But the beauty of ancient times was like the wind blowing willows and the water was soft. So this girl obviously doesn't fit the public aesthetic in this environment.

Qi Niang waved her handkerchief and said to Miss Ming, "You tell Jinyao about these four girls." After speaking, she picked up the water cup on the table and drank tea.

Su Jinyao knew in her heart that the price and status of these four girls in the Red Sleeve Fang must not be high, otherwise Qi Niang would not have handed over the introduction to Miss Ming so casually.

Of course, this also shows that Miss Ming is more valued in the eyes of Qi Niang, in addition to the fact that she is the top brand of the Red Sleeve Fang, it is estimated that it is inseparable from Miss Ming's ability to look at her eyes and speak.

Miss Ming agreed, and introduced Su Jinyao from left to right. Which is Yingmei, which is pink, and which is Zhuxuan. Speaking of the last one, it was the one who nodded to Su Jinyao just now.

Miss Ming said: "She is Qiu Ying, she has only been here for a few days, she dances well, every night when the Red Sleeves Workshop opens, there must be her among the people dancing on the stage in the center." However, she is still clear, although she didn't say that she doesn't sell (shēn), but no one asked her to accompany her. ”

Su Jinyao glanced at Qiu Ying again, then turned to look at the other three girls, and asked, "In addition to dancing, which of you can fight?" ”

Hearing Su Jinyao's question, the four girls were stunned, and even Qi Niang, Ming Girl, and Ziruo were also stunned. Qi Niang asked, "Jin Yao, which one are you?" Is dancing and fighting still related? ”

"It matters. If you dance well, your hands and feet will be flexible, and of course you will be able to fight. On the other hand, if the fight is strong, the body coordination (xìng) is good, and the dancing should not be bad. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pointed to herself and said, "Coincidentally, I am a person who is very good at fighting, but dancing is also good-looking (tǐng)." ”

After listening to Su Jinyao, several people present, as well as those girls who watched (rè) trouble, all laughed.

Su Jinyao waved her hand and said, "Don't laugh, isn't it fighting in the ring?" I just want to turn this Oiran into an Oiran. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pointed to the four girls and asked, "Do you want to fight?" Otherwise, the two of you are a couple, and you can fight for me first. The winner will have the opportunity to participate in the evening Oiran through my guidance. I can't guarantee that you'll win tonight, but I promise that you'll be a hit in Anji City after tonight. It can also make this red sleeve workshop a sensation. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Qi Niang also smiled. The red hand in his hand shook and said: "But I'm laughing to death, I haven't heard that Dou Oiran will fight first." Jinyao girl, if you mess me up, the big boss can't spare me, but I can't spare you. ”

Su Jinyao accompanied Xiao and said to Qi Niang: "Qi Niang, don't worry, I definitely don't dare to joke with the signboard of the Red Sleeve Fang." But I'm telling the truth, if I can't win, I won't let the name of the Red Sleeves Workshop fall. On the contrary, it can make the Red Sleeves more prosperous than before. Anyway, it's all for the sake of a lot of guests, winning or losing is still two words, we lost the game, won the guests, as long as there is silver to earn, who cares about the false name of that oiran. ”

"That's right, then try as you say." Qi Niang doesn't fully trust Su Jinyao, but the four girls in front of her are indeed not the famous characters of the Red Sleeve Workshop, but they are a little higher than those girls who serve tea and water, and they usually dance and give this Red Sleeve Workshop a lively atmosphere. So in contrast, Su Jinyao let them fight, and Qi Niang regarded it as having fun.

Since Qi Niang said that they should fight first, the four girls, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that they have gritted their teeth and made up their minds, look at the person next to them (shēn), and the two of them automatically stood as a pair.

Su Jinyao saw that this posture was really going to fight, and hurriedly said, "Wait, I still have a request." You fight and fight, but you can't pull your hair, tear your clothes, or scratch your face. You have to play as beautifully as you can, and you have to use your dancing skills to play it. ”

"What's this trick?" Qi Niang asked Su Jinyao suspiciously. Seeing that Su Jinyao smiled and didn't answer, she nodded and said, "It's okay, it's a toss anyway, so you can do it." ”

It's a strange requirement, but it's much better than slapping each other, and the four girls really fought with you and me.

But because Su Jinyao had a request before, and the four of them didn't have any grudges, they were usually girls who danced together, so the fight was not heavy, and most of them were just for show. However, as Su Jinyao said, using the tricks of dance to fight, the fight is really good-looking.

I saw that the four girls had to shake their water sleeves when they raised their hands and punched; When kicking high, you have to turn in a circle first to make the skirt fly; Parrying up is also an orchid hand, a flower finger, and it is really beautiful (tǐng) beautiful.

After watching it for a while, Su Jinyao called "stop", and then pointed to Qiu Ying and Zhu Xuan and said, "You two continue, and the other two girls can rest." ”

Qiu Ying and Zhu Xuan originally had other opponents, but now they have won and advanced, so they didn't say anything and started fighting directly.

Su Jinyao has been watching carefully, and she didn't stop watching it for a long time this time.

Qi Niang, Ming Girl, and Zi Ruo also looked at it and thought it was interesting, while drinking tea, they also smiled from time to time and talked about whether Qiu Ying was better or Zhu Xuan was better.

It wasn't until the two girls seemed to be tired, their faces were sweaty, and they were not so energetic when they raised their hands and kicked their legs, that Su Jinyao said, "Okay, I know which one to choose, let's stop." ”

When the two girls stopped and stood there panting, Su Jinyao pointed at Qiu Ying and asked, "Qiu Ying, have you ever killed chickens?" ”

"What? Kill the chicken! Qiu Ying hadn't spoken before, but when she spoke now, her voice was crisp and quite hearty.

Su Jinyao nodded and explained, "Yes, it's not just about killing chickens, it's okay to kill others." It is to ask you if you are bold, dare to take a knife and see blood. ”

"Dare." Qiu Ying nodded and said, "My father was originally a hunter, but last year he went up to the mountain to hunt and encountered a bear, lost an arm and was blind in one eye, and he couldn't go into the mountain again. My mother's bones are not good, and my younger brothers and sisters are all young, so I don't sell (shēn) to the Qinglou, for fear that my younger brothers and sisters will starve to death. Don't let me kill chickens, even if I am asked to catch a bear, I dare to try. Just don't let me go home, my family is too poor, I have to earn money to support my younger siblings, as well as my father and mother. ”

Su Jinyao was stunned, this autumn shadow is real, and the (shēn) world is pitiful. Then he asked her, "Then who did you learn to dance from?" ”

"Hehe, what kind of dance do I know. After coming here, I saw that the girls here danced beautifully, so I followed suit. "Autumn Shadow said a little embarrassed.

Only then did Su Jinyao know that Miss Ming said that every night when the Red Sleeves Workshop opened, there would be an autumn shadow dancing on the central stage. Dare (qíng) said that she was learning and dancing at the same time. But this is a talent, I have never learned to dance, and it is not easy to dance so well with the people next to (shēn).

Su Jinyao looked at Qi Niang and said with a smile; "I really didn't expect that the girl under Qi Niang is so talented, a character who hides the dragon and crouches the tiger."

Qi Niang was embarrassed, pointed to Qiu Ying and asked, "When you first came, you would say what you would ask you?" Dare (qíng) Are you now learning and selling? ”
