There are a total of four people in this dinner - me, Achu, Shu Wuniang, and the "Xiaoyuan" in Shu Wuniang's mouth, and this table of dishes is also the famous prostitute named Xiang Xiaoyuan who tried his best to renovate, two cold and four hot and one soup, all of which are home-cooked ingredients, and there are not many exquisite decorations, but the taste of each is excellent, so that people can't help but chopsticks.

Chen Anchu kept praising while scooping the fish soup: "Why can't I ever make such a milky white fish soup!" Xiaoyuan girl, when I finish this meal, will I worship you as a teacher? ”

I smiled and agreed, "That's me." ”

I'm not a big fan of cooking, so I cook on my own whim. However, this fish soup is so delicious that I can't help but think of the two fish I bought a few months ago, when I was "fighting the enemy", I fell to the ground and broke the bitter gall, and the soup made was naturally bitter. At that time, I saw that Chen Yi drank a sip of the soup vigorously, and he didn't let me taste it, and I was annoyed that I couldn't rob him. Thanks to the fact that his ability to drink soup is still not as large as the amount of soup, I realized the fact that my cooking skills are not as good as he claimed. At that time, his face did not change when he drank the soup, and he did not even frown, so I still sigh very much, and always wonder if he had lost his sense of taste after drinking the medicine at that time.

Thinking of this, I sighed in my heart: with my culinary talent, it is estimated that he will not be able to drink fish soup with the same craftsmanship as Xiaoyuan girl in his life.

Shu Wuniang and Xiaoyuan girl were originally polite as accompaniers, but they didn't have any scruples when they saw that we were happy to eat, and they chatted a few words and even fell in love, so they no longer held the shelf, everyone talked while eating, and they actually had a bit of an acquaintance party in the Qinglou.

Shu Wuniang introduced to us: "Qiulan, the girl Bingran saved today, and Xiaoyuan are the two top cards in my green building. Those guests are said that the old bustard kept the Oiran and did not let the guests be picked up at will in order to catch a bigger financier, although I also love money, I can't say that I didn't save this kind of thought, but I have a good business in the end, so if the Oiran lady earns enough money from performing arts, I won't force them to sell themselves, I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen today. ”

Acchuqi said: "According to what you said, Boss Shu, Miss Qiulan is not a prostitute who sells her body?" So whether this is willingly or forced by someone else, you have to find out the reason, I'm afraid that this child's father has any origins. ”

I also said, "Although I haven't visited the Qinglou, I know that people like you don't force Oiran to sell themselves... Bosses are already rare. The town is not big, and this is the only green building in the town, and it can continue to open so safely, I really don't dare to think what kind of "master" dares to force the girl in your building. But if you are willing... I don't know what the skills of Miss Qiulan are? ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan replied: "Compose poetry." ”

Is this Qiulan still a talented girl? "That's... Isn't it very appreciated by readers? "For a while, I actually made up the plot of a talented poor scholar meeting a confidante who was in the dust.

Xiang Xiaoyuan pursed his lips and smiled, as if he could see what I was thinking: "Miss Shen, think about it, are there any "talents" in our Shuangqi Town?" ”

Metropolitan Taoist agriculture and industry, in this era, you must have some family background to be a scholar, otherwise it is difficult to maintain your livelihood. Our area is not a rich place, the people mostly make a living from farming, so there is only one or two rich landlords and men who have spare money to come to Hualou to find the top brand of "vassal elegance".

I scooped another spoonful of fish soup: "I can't count how many of these "talents" there are, but those who can have the heart and strength to come here to spend a lot of money for the Oiran can only come from the Meng family in the east of the town, the He family in the west of the town, the Li family in the south of the town, and the Zhou family in the north of the town. ”

Meng, He, Li, and Thursday are a few of the villages that can be called "big households" in Shuangqi Town and its affiliated villages. The Meng family is a very traditional landlord's family, and this is also the one I am most familiar with, after all, Chenjia Village is the tenant village of the Meng family. The He family is the newly promoted "official household" of the four families, which is because a concubine in the family entered Beijing three years ago and was awarded an official in the examination; The head of the Li family was originally a craftsman, because when he dug up a rough stone in the mountain, he dug up a piece of jade rough and made a fortune; The Zhou family is in a special situation, many of the children of the family are officials in the court, and there is a daughter who is the imperial concubine, thriving, and the Zhou family in Shuangqi Town is only a side branch, and it has fallen into disarray, but it still takes advantage of the prestige of the family to claim to be a noble family, and the other three families are even more disdainful, but compared this family with the other three, I don't know whether everyone intends to ridicule or really reverence the dignitaries and nobles in the capital.

Ah Chu put a piece of fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots into a bowl and said, "Most of the things of these four families are also my hearsay. The head of the Li family is not yet twenty-five years old, and I heard that he spent eight days out of ten in his own workshop and did not go out; The Meng family... His family style shouldn't be allowed..."

I couldn't help laughing: "If the younger generation of his family is in the style of Master Meng, then the sense of disobedience here is also stronger." ”

Shu Wuniang said: "What the two girls said does have some truth, but we are just guessing now, let's wait for Qiulan to wake up and ask to understand." ”

Before he had finished eating, a maid came and knocked on the door

When the maid came in, she said, "Mother, Miss Qiulan is awake." ”

Shu Wuniang was a little surprised: "Awake? When did she wake up, and how did she appear? ”

The maid replied, "The girl is still very weak, but she is much better than before when she was unconscious." ”

"Really? I'll go over it. ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan grabbed Wu Niang's shirt and said softly: "Mom, at this hour, the guests are about to come to the door, you have to go down and entertain." ”

Shu Wuniang reacted, and suddenly showed a look of embarrassment: "You see that I was troubled by today's incident, then Qiulan's side ......"

I said, "Boss Shu, go and go about your business, Ah Chu and I will go to see the situation of Miss Qiulan." ”

Shu Wuniang glanced at me, and the gratitude in her voice added a little more: "That...... It's all up to Miss Shen and Miss Chen. ”

"Boss Shu, don't worry."

Shu Wuniang instructed a few more words, called two maids to follow, and went downstairs with Xiang Xiaoyuan. I knew to Achu that she had given us this "problem", but we were also willing to help for this dinner.
