Chapter 21: A Family of Three
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up after taking a bite, "Fluttershy, what is this made of?" It's so refreshing, and it's suitable for eating steamed buns and drinking porridge as a side dish! ”
Ruan Xiaodie looked at the shopkeeper's reaction with satisfaction: "This dish is cold fungus." ”
"That's... Fluttershy, did you want me to try this dish for our inn? The shopkeeper put down his chopsticks and looked at Ruan Xiaodie.
"Shopkeeper, let me tell you straight, I can sell you the recipe for this dish." Ruan Xiaodie took a stool and sat down, "But I have one condition. ”
The shopkeeper was excited when he heard this, and he didn't think about it: "I promise you!" ”
Such a refreshing surprise shocked Ruan Xiaodie: "I haven't said anything yet?" ”
"Fluttershy is such an honest person, she must not mention very excessive conditions." The shopkeeper had a flattering smile on his face.
Ruan Xiaodie snorted: "You can be a sycophant, my conditions are really simple, I will supply the noodles and fillings of this bun in the future, but you have to send someone to my house to pick it up, in addition, I have found you ten big sisters who pack steamed buns, I will pay for the manual cost of making buns every day, but let them come to the inn to do it, it is also more convenient for you, how about it?" ”
"Fluttershy is so beautiful and kind!" The shopkeeper smiled even more happily when he heard this, "No problem, I wonder how much silver Miss Fluttershy's recipe is going to sell?" ”
Ruan Xiaodie stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers: "Five taels of silver." ”
"Good! That's it, let's sign a note? "The shopkeeper's mouthful." All right. Ruan Xiaodie also readily agreed, and the shopkeeper beckoned Liu San to take a pen and paper, and the two made a note and pressed each other's handprints.
"This recipe is here, when your chef comes over, you can let him follow it, if there is anything you won't ask me." Ruan Xiaodie took out a piece of paper from her purse, on which was written the recipe for cold fungus, and the shopkeeper accepted the recipe: "Okay, then thank you Miss Fluttershy, I wonder if the girl can give this bowl of cold fungus to the old man?" ”
Ruan Xiaodie waved her hand: "Take it, take it." The shopkeeper thanked him, and Ruan Xiaodie politely excused him a few more words, and took Lu Chuan and Ruan Sheng back to the mountain in an ox cart.
Ruan Xiaodie sat in the ox cart and looked at Ruan Sheng, who was still asleep in her arms, and muttered helplessly: "Little pig, I haven't woken up yet." Lu Chuan listened helplessly to her talking to herself, feeling that if his brother was still blowing his beard angrily, he would glare, and scolded Ruan Xiaodie and said Who is a pig, this is the eldest grandson of the Bei'an Palace, and his status is noble. Remembering that the Bei'an Mansion is now fragmented and is still known as a traitor, Lu Chuan fell down again.
Speechless all the way, Ruan Xiaodie and Lu Chuan rushed back to the hut on the mountain, and happened to see Wang Mei waiting at the door, Ruan Xiaodie jumped off the ox cart, still hugged Ruan Sheng, and whispered to Wang Mei: "Sister Wang Mei, I'll put Sheng'er in the house to sleep first, and then come to you." Wang Mei nodded understandingly, followed Ruan Xiaodie into the house, and watched her skillfully take off Ruan Sheng's clothes and stuff them into the quilt.
Ruan Xiaodie tucked Ruan Sheng's quilt and closed the door before talking to Wang Mei.
"Sister Wang Mei, I just have something to tell you." Ruan Xiaodie got a cup of boiling water from the kettle and handed it to Wang Mei, who took the cup: "What's the matter, Fluttershy, girl?" ”
Ruan Xiaodie poured herself a glass, and after drinking it in one gulp, she put down the cup before saying, "That's the case, I don't think it's very convenient for you to come to me, I told the owner of the Yuelai Inn, and in the future, you will still go to his inn to make steamed buns." ”
Wang Mei was also overjoyed when she heard Ruan Xiaodie's words: "I won't tell you, Sister Xiaodie, I'm here for this matter, some eldest sisters are really not very good legs, now it's fine!" ”
Ruan Xiaodie suddenly remembered something while chatting, and said to Wang Mei: "Sister Wang Mei, wait for me, I will give you yesterday's salary, you remember to share it with them." ”
Saying that, he walked into the room and took out 250 Wen and handed it to Wang Mei: "Sister Wang Mei, these two hundred Wen are the wages of the ten of them, and fifty Wen is your wages yesterday." ”
When Wang Mei heard this, she was a little flattered: "Sister Fluttershy, how can I do that little thing worth the salary of fifty yuan!" You can't make it unlike. As he spoke, he returned the small cloth bag in his hand to Ruan Xiaodie.
Ruan Xiaodie snatched it and stuffed it into Wang Mei's arms: "Sister Wang Mei, I told you, if I make money, I will definitely be good to you, you see that you were so good to me before, I said you take it." ”
Wang Mei no longer refused, but her eyes were a little moist: "Thank you, Sister Fluttershy, if you have anything in the future, I will do it for you, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you!" ”
Ruan Xiaodie smiled and agreed, sent Wang Mei to the door, and instructed, "Don't forget to let them go to the Yuelai Inn at the right time." ”
Seeing Wang Mei nodding, Ruan Xiaodie watched with confidence as Wang Mei's figure gradually disappeared into the mountains.
Ruan Xiaodie watched Wang Mei's figure walk away, and also turned back to the courtyard and closed the door, seeing that it was almost time for breakfast, Ruan Xiaodie went into the small kitchen again and began to clean up breakfast.
Quickly boiled a pot of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, steamed a few buns left over from yesterday, mixed a side dish, and put these in the back end of the house, so I went to call Ruan Sheng, Ruan Sheng still refused to get up, this time Ruan Xiaodie didn't care that he wiped Ruan Sheng's little face with a wet cloth, Ruan Sheng woke up all of a sudden, muttered and got up, wiped his face with a cloth towel, Ruan Xiaodie saw him get up, so he left a sentence and washed it out to eat, and went out to the small thatched house next door to call Lu Chuan.
As soon as she entered the door, Ruan Xiaodie found Lu Chuan meditating, and when she heard her come in, Lu Chuan opened her eyes. "It's time for breakfast, let's go." Ruan Xiaodie beckoned him, seeing Lu Chuan nodded, Ruan Xiaodie hummed a song and went back, Lu Chuan also got up and followed Ruan Xiaodie into the small courtyard, as soon as Ruan Xiaodie entered, he saw Ruan Sheng sitting obediently on the table, staring at the porridge in the bowl but not moving.
Seeing Ruan Xiaodie coming in, Ruan Sheng's eyes lit up: "Mother! You're back! Ruan Xiaodie sat down at the table and touched Ruan Sheng's little head: "Mmmm, let's Sheng'er is so well-behaved, are you waiting for your mother to eat?" ”
Ruan Sheng nodded: "Yes, mother, Sheng'er is waiting for you!" Ruan Xiaodie couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, looked at Lu Chuan, and was surprised to find that the corners of Lu Chuan's mouth rose slightly, and he actually smiled.
Ruan Xiaodie beckoned Lu Chuan: "Lu Chuan, come and sit, let's eat." One big and one small nodded at the same time, and Ruan Xiaodie almost felt that they were father and son.
Ruan Sheng looked at Ruan Xiaodie and then at Lu Chuan, and said childishly: "Brother, you can marry my mother!" ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Ruan Xiaodie choked on porridge all of a sudden, "What are you talking about, Sheng'er!" He hurriedly turned his head to look at Lu Chuan, who still looked cold, but said the same shocking words: "It's not impossible." ”
