12 Birthday Feast
Mo Feiwan frowned slightly. "It's the first time I've seen him so persistent in doing something that he almost lost all the clothes on his body. Xiao Ning, although he is sometimes unreasonable and a little willful, but he has to be forgiving and forgiving, you still have to pay attention to proportion. ”
Ling Xiaoning smiled. "Miss Mo, don't worry, I naturally do things in a measured way, but people like him do need some lessons, otherwise he will only go too far."
An Rong thought about it, and there was always a fire in his heart that was difficult to swallow.
His dignified young master was teased like this by a fourth-class maid, no matter how he said it, he couldn't get over this face. In order to be able to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, after returning to his room, he carefully studied the mystery of playing cards.
I don't know where he got a bag of silver, and he excitedly looked for Ling Xiaoning to play cards and win back all the things he had lost before.
Ling Xiaoning accompanied him to play two games, the two won 1 and lost 1, suddenly had a stomachache, and he couldn't continue to play with him after running back and forth a few times.
It happened that a rich boy from a nearby yard came to find An Rong to go out to drink flower wine, and left happily together.
When it was almost dark, he and Komatsu Xiaomu came back drunk and were reprimanded by his grandfather.
The old man asked An Rong to prepare a gift for an elder to celebrate his birthday, and this time he was stumped again.
When he went out with his friends yesterday, the silver in his pocket was all at once, and he didn't have any extra silver taels to prepare birthday gifts for his elders.
The old man left early in the morning because of something, and handed over this matter to him to do, and scolded him, if he didn't even do this little thing well, he wouldn't have to ask him for money in the future.
"What can I do? Where did Master Ben find the silver? ”
It's easy to spend money, but it's hard to borrow. An Rong has a lot of friends who spend all day drinking, drinking and playing together, and they are full of interest.
But when it came to borrowing money, one by one ran faster than a rabbit, which made him feel a sense of loss.
"These fox friends and dog friends really can't take it seriously, they usually call out to drink, they have silver on their bodies and are closer than their brothers, but now they have no silver on their bodies, and they run faster than rabbits!"
Ling Xiaoning seems to have become a first-class maid in the yard, she basically doesn't have to do any work, and enjoys the best treatment except for her grandfather and young master.
She walked up to him, dressed in a cotton garment that was not badly made.
"Young master, I heard that grandpa gave you a task yesterday, why don't you go to do something?"
An Rong frowned slightly and sat down on the steps of the pavilion. "It's not all because you tricked me into playing cards, and now I don't have any extra money to lose...... I have to go to my uncle's birthday in two hours, but how can I prepare a gift without money? ”
"Don't think I don't know, yesterday my grandfather gave you a lot of silver, and someone asked you to go out to play, so you spent all the money, but this matter has nothing to do with me."
Although Ling Xiaoning got some zero likes from him, it was his usual pocket money.
He usually spends money lavishly, but his grandfather gave him a little silver, and he lost it in half a day, so it's no wonder that he suddenly encountered something and there was no way to resolve it.
"I can help you find a way to solve this matter, but you have to remember clearly, you can't spend the money casually when you get it in the future, you must know how to save. Otherwise, the next time you encounter an urgent need for silver, you don't know what to do? ”
"How do you help Young Master Ben solve it? Could it be that you are going to use your little money to help buy a gift? ”
"Of course not, that bit of silver is something I earned with my hard work, and the family that your family values so much must not be low, even if it is a dozen taels of silver, I'm afraid that no one will take the things you buy in your eyes."
"You're right, if you take the things in the room and sell them for a dozen taels of silver, you still get it in exchange, but I don't know what kind of gift is more suitable for this bit of silver."
"Why don't you just listen to me, and make sure that your gift stands out from the crowd of people who are all in attendance."
The gift that Ling Xiaoning wanted to prepare for him comfortably was a birthday cake that everyone would have on their birthdays now.
She wanted to make a cake before, but it didn't work out because of the lack of ingredients.
This time, there is still a little time before giving gifts, so that he can try to find people in the yard to collect enough materials to make an ingenious birthday cake.
"Go and get me some milk, fresh eggs, and flour......"
"You...... Can you really help Master Ben come up with a special gift for his uncle? ”
"You'll find out in a moment."
After an hour and a half of busy work, a cake was freshly baked.
Ling Xiaoning bent down and carefully examined the cake.
"Yes, yes, just a little touch-up."
Ling Xiaoning asked Komatsu Kogi to help stir the milk into cream and spread it on the surface of the cake.
I also used the colors of some food to make the shape of a longevity peach and green leaves.
Finally, smear the middle of the cake into a longevity character, and you're done.
"What is this? Although it looks special, after all, it is a comfortable birthday for me and me, so I only give my uncle a plate of food, which is too unseemly! ”
"You don't understand, this is a very popular birthday gift more than 1,000 years later. Now that there is no other place in today's society, what do you think could be more special than this? ”
"How did you know ...... more than 1,000 years ago"
An Rong stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, half-convinced.
"When the time comes, you just listen to me, let's go!"
Ling Xiaoning carefully packed the cake and set off for 4 people.
When I arrived at my uncle's yard, there were already quite a few guests.
"Uncle, I'm really sorry, my father left early in the morning because of some urgent matters, and the juniors he arranged came to visit you...... Because of the rush of time, I didn't prepare anything good, and I prepared a cake for a quick gift. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you're here!"
The packaging of the birthday cake was opened, and everyone looked at each other, a little confused.
Although there were no birthday cakes made of milk in ancient times, there were some similar snacks that looked relatively ordinary on the surface.
"Maybe everyone has little experience with this birthday cake, but everyone must have never eaten it when they taste it!"
Ling Xiaoning divided the birthday cake into many small pieces for fresh taste.
Some people feel that they are not used to putting too much sugar in the cream, and most people who have tasted the cake are still relatively satisfied.
In particular, a few children were overjoyed and wanted to eat all the cake that was left after eating.
My uncle loved his little grandson the most, so he carefully inquired about the origin of the cake.
An Rong smiled smugly and clasped his hands in front of his chest.
