Chapter 125: Rose Cake
Seeing that his young lady always closed the door and rested early, Shui Su couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Perhaps, the young lady is worried about whether there are beautiful clothes to wear in the poetry, but those clothes are really ordinary, where is it worthy of her young lady's flower and moon appearance?
Although she said that she was a maid for Miss, Miss treated her like a sister, and if she didn't want to make a contribution at this time, it would be really in vain.
"Sister Shuisu, what do you want to be so distracted? I won't answer you twice. ”
Liuli held two steaming roasted sweet potatoes and looked at the water su with a smile.
Shui Su smelled the sweet fragrance, only then did he react, and sighed: "Alas, in a few days, our young lady will go to participate in the flower appreciation poetry conference, which is held by the little princess, but there are no suitable clothes......"
"Have all the shops in the capital gone? None of them fit your eyes? Ruri was a little surprised.
Her master, Concubine Hu, is not picky, because she only looks down on those who are the same as peacocks, and the more swaggering she is, the hotter her eyes are.
"Our young lady's figure and appearance, ordinary clothes are not eye-catching at all, but the Luozhuang ready-to-wear shop I went to was eye-catching, but it was bought by others!"
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and Shui Su's eyes turned red.
"Okay, Sister Shuisu, don't worry, I have a good solution. That day, I overheard that our master's sister opened a low-key shop in the capital, in which the embroidery girl mainly imitates Luozhuang ready-to-wear, but also has its own characteristics, you can take a look when you have time. ”
Liuli took advantage of the fact that no one saw it, muttered the address, and suddenly Shui Su smiled excitedly.
"Okay, I'll go out of the house right away and take a look, if I really buy it, thank you when the time comes!"
"Gotcha!"
Shui Su had an idea, so he quickly and quietly put on his usual money bag and slipped out of the house.
According to the address that Liuli said, she came to a very remote courtyard, with an old copper ring at the entrance of the courtyard, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.
After some hesitation, he buckled three times, and then twice, and finally someone inside opened the door.
A little maid with an exceptionally clever appearance looked at Shui Su and said in a low voice: "The Heavenly King covers the tiger." ”
"The River Demon of Pagoda Town." Shui Su hurried back.
"Okay, come in quickly, but don't let anyone see you."
Shui Su then slipped in with a cat, and the door immediately closed again.
Looking back at this courtyard, Shui Su found that this courtyard was extraordinarily open, with dozens of embroiderers embroidering in the sun nest, and the north and south rooms were full of various fabrics and ready-to-wear clothes.
Because it is mainly a style that imitates the likes of noble women, so the place is so hidden, if there is no code, I am afraid that I don't want to enter.
"Little girl, what are you going to buy?"
A woman with fragrant powder on her face, slender eyebrows and eyes, and a bewitching figure walked out.
She wore a lotus long dress, which was not ordinary plain white and plain pink, but used bold dark green and gold, lining the whole person's complexion was snow-white and graceful.
Just by looking at the smile on this woman's face, you know that this must be a businessman.
"Boss, I want to come to you to see if there are any new materials or unique clothes." The water su gets straight to the point.
"Then you really have come to the right place, we not only have the same ready-to-wear from Luozhuang here, but also the masterpieces of our more than ten years old embroiderers, each of which is unique!" Hu Yingying said with a smile.
"Can you show me that?"
"Of course."
As she spoke, she took the lead in picking up the curtain with the fan in her hand, revealing all kinds of ready-to-wear inside.
These ready-to-wear garments are not placed on the bare walls, but are all perfectly matched in the corresponding background, some with silk wristbands, some with jewelry, and some with fox furs, plus golden candles, which are even more beautiful.
Shui Su's gaze swept over the top one by one, and finally stopped at the middle one.
It was a very bold garment, a warm color, embroidered with large red roses, lifelike, inlaid with glass beads in the middle of the roses, edged with gold wire, and the collar was a circle of heavy embroidery, and it was slightly opened to reveal the slender neck and collarbone.
Seeing Shui Su staring intently at the dress, Hu Yingying was also very proud: "The girl is really good eyesight, this one is a masterpiece that has just been completed in our store, and it is also made by our most powerful embroiderer, absolutely beautiful." ”
Shui Su also nodded repeatedly.
This dress is so exquisite, if your own lady can wear it at that time, it will definitely shock the audience, and no one can compare to it.
What kind of noble lady, what princess Wang Sun, where can they compare to a fairy-like figure like their young lady?
Far from it!
Pinching the money bag, Shui Su said, "Boss, how much is this dress?" ”
"This garment is really not cheap, it took ten days and ten nights to make, and it is made of fine jewelry and silk thread, and you will take it for a hundred taels of silver!"
One hundred taels of silver is really a bit painful, and it took me a long time to save it. 591 net
Shui Su looked at the glass beads, and his heart was about measured: "Boss, your glass is not gold and silver, I'm afraid the price is not so expensive, it's just more beautiful, this price is a little inflated, right?" ”
Of course, Hu Yingying knew that the price was too expensive, and the cost was only twenty taels, and she also wanted to make a lot of money, but this little girl was not a vegetarian.
"Then, since you look at the girl, if you sincerely want to, you will give you eighty taels of silver, I really can't sell it if it is less, after all, the cost is here......"
"Fifty taels, if you think it's okay, then I'll buy it, if you think it's not okay, then I'll find another one, anyway, there are many shops in the capital, and I'll go shopping one by one."
Although Shui Su longed for everything in his heart, he was very reserved on the surface, and turned around as if he was about to leave.
"Girl, this is too low, look at our rookie girls, they are all top-notch!" Hu Yingying still wants to make another profit.
Shui Su deliberately turned around, turned his head and left.
Seeing her so simply, Hu Yingying hurriedly called out to her: "Okay, fifty taels is fifty taels, this dress can increase in value in the future, you don't lose anything if you buy it!" I'll give you another silk scarf! ”
Shui Su saw that this proprietress was also a good person, so she opened the money bag with a smile and carefully counted out five silver ingots.
"Okay, the girl will come again next time, maybe when the new style will be launched, and I will give you a cheap next time!" Hu Yingying pinched the heavy silver, and was in a very good mood.
She kept to the door, and when she saw Shui Su turning out of the alley, she quietly closed the door.
Shui Su held the burden in his hand, and only felt his heart beating like thunder.
Miss must have liked these clothes very much, she really did a big thing!
Passing by a stall in the capital, she smelled the fragrance of roses, and the gluttonous worms in her stomach were immediately hooked.
If you look closely, there is a small vendor who is arranging a neat rose cake, which is steaming, crispy on the outside, fragrant on the inside, and the color is particularly attractive.
"Girl, it's still hot when you just made it, buy some and try it."
Shui Su smiled and nodded, and bought one or two, but felt that it seemed a little unfresh, but the taste was okay.
Why don't you go home and make it for Miss!
I went to Huazhuang to buy fresh roses, yellow rock candy and nuts, and then went home happy.
According to the taste, she tinkered with it and found that the rose crisp she made was more crispy and sweet, and most importantly, there was no oily smell, which was very refreshing.
Put it on the stove to dry overnight, wait for the sugar to form, and it will taste more delicious tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Shen Ruoxiao had just gotten up when he saw a figure swaying in front of his door.
"Miss, hurry up and open the door, see what good things I have brought you!"
"What are you doing in a hurry, girl? What do you have to tell me early in the morning? ”
Although he said this, his body was very honest, and Shen Ruoxiao poked his head out curiously.
As soon as he stretched out his head, he was stuffed with a big bulging burden in his arms, which was heavy.
"Miss, open it up and see what it is? This is my gift to you! ”
Shen Ruoxiao put the package on the bed with some doubts, slowly untied the ribbon, and suddenly the exquisite long dress appeared in front of her in layers, which instantly amazed her.
This long skirt is heavily made, bold in color, unique in style, if you can wear it to the flower appreciation poetry meeting, it will definitely be able to stand out among the nobles.
"This dress really suits my heart, you girl really has a heart, it must have cost a lot of silver, right?" Shen Ruoxiao guessed.
"It's not much silver, as long as the young lady likes it." Shui Su didn't care with a face full of eyes.
Of course, Shen Ruoxiao knew that the maid's monthly routine was not high, but she was her young lady, and now it had risen a lot every month, and she usually rewarded her with one or two pieces of jewelry from time to time, but this dress was not cheap at first glance.
"Really, where can I let you spend your money in vain. Take this hairpin and make it look like you. ”
Shen Ruoxiao handed the wooden box to Shui Su, and his attitude was not to be ignored.
Shui Su couldn't, so he had to accept it, so he went out and brought the rose crisp.
"What's the cake?"
Shen Ruoxiao was a little surprised, she used to like to eat it, but she didn't expect that Shui Su would make it.
On the snow-white porcelain plate, magnificent roses are mixed with nuts, and the outer layer of golden puff pastry is dotted with sesame seeds.
This seems to be a little different from the rose crisp I used to eat, but it looks like a royal product in the palace.
"Shui Su, I have an idea, that is, to make different pastries with flower petals, which can be given to the ladies as gifts, so that it fits the theme of the flower viewing party, what do you think?"
"Miss, of course I support you, as long as you think it's delicious, I can study a few more."
Being able to get Shen Ruoxiao's approval, Shui Su was full of joy, she came to Fuzhong Garden with a basket to pick more petals, and found that this place was already a different scene.
Those beautiful flowers used to be only bare branches and buds, scattered petals and wilted bones hung on them alone, which was extremely miserable.
