250 May our Azhong grow stronger and stronger
Today's Nanchen Mansion is full of friends, like a market, changing the quiet of the past, and it is very lively.
Wan Chaoyun went to deliver the cake, and he entered through the back door, and the main gate was the place where the ministers of the court, celebrities, and princes of the clan walked.
She doesn't feel aggrieved, face or something, although it is important, but the lining is more important, after today, the pastry shop will usher in another wave of popularity.
Thinking of the silver in vain, her heart was full of joy.
Like her, there is also Chen Yue, today she brought Wu Siniang to accompany Wan Chaoyun to come, there are not a few people, Rose, Liu Mei, Song Shizhen, Han Ying, Han Yan and a few family members and two dart masters.
There are a lot of people, but everyone has their own tasks, and the task of the two sisters is naturally to protect Wan Chaoyun and Song is true, and Song is really to see the world.
Rose is holding a special birthday candle in her hand, today is the old lady's 70th birthday, she has prepared seven candles, no other colors, red candles are extra small.
Liu Mei held a bamboo knife and cutlery for cutting cakes in her hands.
The red candles and cutlery are all freshly picked from the pastry shop, and it doesn't take much effort, it's the cake that bother.
In order to make this cake, she had to retreat for several days before she could gather all the ingredients she needed.
Chen Yue couldn't hide his excitement, he had just seen the cake in the box, he brought someone into the big box with his own hands, he didn't expect that the cake could have other colors!
He thought it was only milky white and the color of the fruit!
It's that he is simple, the world is colorful and colorful, how can there be only these few monotonous colors?
Just now, he, like Wu Siniang, had a lot of things in his heart, and they all wanted to know where those colors on the cake came from!
He knew that talented people could paint, and there were many colors for painting, but just now he tasted the colored cream left over from the cake and found that it did not affect the taste and smell at all!
The cake was slowly pushed in and placed in a separate room, Chen Qian did not come, it was the housekeeper who received Wan Chaoyun, he glanced at the tightly sealed but beautifully framed box, his eyes lit up, and his heart became curious, and he didn't know what this cake would look like.
The housekeeper's name is Chen Xiu, and the other subordinates call him Uncle Xiu, or Lao Xiu, who looks capable and is forty years old.
Chen Xiu is very nervous today, today is the first time he has taken care of the old lady's birthday since he was promoted, and today is also the first time that the head of the family has given the old lady a big birthday since he was promoted to the first assistant.
The old lady is low-key, like sixty-six, sixty-three years old and the like never extravagant and wasteful, today is the seventieth birthday, before the banquet for high friends.
However, he did a good job on the surface, and he seemed to be at ease and did not panic at all.
When the guests outside had almost arrived, he came over again and asked, "Miss Wan, when will this cake be served?" β
"Have you had all the drinks?"
"Yes, the table will start soon."
Wan Chaoyun immediately instructed Chen Yue, "You can go up, you must go before the banquet." β
Serve the cake before the meal to improve the atmosphere, but after the meal, everyone is full, who cares about this?
When Chen Xiu heard this, he immediately opened the door for Wan Chaoyun and led her to enter through the side door with the cake.
Mrs. Chen's birthday, Shoutang is full of lights, and the two big red candles on the incense table are written with the words Furu Donghai and Shoubi Nanshan, which have been burning from the early morning to the present.
At this time, Mrs. Chen sat in the Shoutang, dressed in a red life suit, a green crown and a Xia veil, on which was a golden embroidered Yunxia Zhai pattern representing identity, and a crane embroidered on the chest that could only be embroidered by a single order.
She looked at every guest who came to congratulate her kindly, smiling and very happy.
The cake box was pushed to the Shoutang, and because of its small size, it attracted the attention of the guests, and if it was only women who paid attention to the cake before, now many men have also cast their eyes.
In Shoutang, the most important big names of Daxing are gathered, several princes led by King Gong, His Majesty's imperial uncles, several pavilion elders and their wives, and several pillar generals.
The rest, such as princesses, county lords, county lords, daughters, princesses, and sons, are not enough to see in front of these people.
It will take at least fifteen years for these people to be able to match them.
"It's cake?" Chen Baisheng's grandmother, who is also known as Mrs. Chen, relied on her husband's surname Chen, so she climbed relatives and was closest to Mrs. Chen.
"Yes, this girl came to the door to ask me if I have taboos, where do I have taboos, I am used to living a hard life, and I eat everything." The old lady said with a smile.
"The old sister Hugh wants to say this, the hard days have long passed, and now is the time to enjoy happiness."
The two old ladies Chen, you and me, brought everyone a lot of expectations for the cake.
The cake box is boxy, with a big longevity written on each side, and the rope that binds the box is also colorful and colorful.
The box was lifted to the center and stopped, and Wan Chaoyun led the people forward to say a congratulatory speech, "I wish the old lady a blessing as deep as water, and a long life longer than a mountain." β
Although there is nothing new in the congratulatory speech, it will never make a mistake and will not steal the limelight from others.
The old lady was almost numb to listening, and when she saw that she had finished speaking, she nodded and smiled: "Okay, thank you." β
"Old lady, please move." Wan Chaoyun stepped forward and said respectfully.
"What to do?" Although the old lady asked, she still had a good temper and asked her to help her up.
"Old lady, please." She made a gesture of please.
As her words fell, Chen Yue and Wu Siniang worked together to slowly open the cake box, and the box faded, and a huge cake was presented in front of everyone.
The cake is straight and round, the wall is framed with two cranes riding the clouds, and the top is the immortal birthday celebration, the image of the Antarctic fairy is lifelike standing on the top layer of the cake, he holds a big fairy peach in his hand.
On the wall, the crane heads each set up a number, one is seven, the other is ten, and the two words are decorated with roasted almond slices, which are golden.
And next to the big cake, there is an eight-inch small cake, the cake is only one layer, the cream on the wall is covered by almond slices white, decorated with gold, on the top is the red longevity word paved by Yin Tao, Yin Tao is inserted in the small slit of the small candle, at this time the candle is burning a little starlight.
"This ......" The old lady was shocked, she had seen no less than dozens of pastries, but this one surprised her the most.
"Old lady, please blow out the candles." Wan Chaoyun said respectfully.
"Blowing out candles?"
"Yes, blow out the candles and make a wish." She was really afraid that the old lady would not be able to accept it, and besides, the old lady had bad teeth and couldn't blow it out......
The old lady has a very good temper, there is no unwillingness, and she is willing to cooperate, she prepared a half-ring, and then 'poof' blew a mouthful, Xu is happy today, she blew it all out in one breath, and then began to make a wish, she didn't know that the wish to be silent, so she raised her voice: "May the great prosperity be prosperous, and the country and the people will be safe." β
Wan Chaoyun: "......"
Yes, this is very old-fashioned.
The most amazing thing is that the guests also said: "May Daxing prosper and prosper, and the country and the people will be safe." β
Wan Chaoyun: "......"
After making a wish, Wan Chaoyun instructed someone to remove the small cake, after all, this cake may be stained with the old lady's saliva, and others refuse to eat it.
Yes, she prepared two, one blowing candles to raise the atmosphere, and one that could be cut to eat.
The bamboo knife was handed over, and Wan Chaoyun respectfully handed it to the old lady, "Old lady, please." β
"Me?" The old lady pointed at herself, her face full of disbelief, "The old body will not ......"
"Old lady, as long as you touch your hands, we can also touch your blessings." Wan Chaoyun stepped forward to hold the old lady's hand, and then took her to put the bamboo knife on the cake and cut it gently, "Thank you old lady for letting me wait for your blessings." β
"Stain, stain, hahaha." The old lady also feels that she is very blessed, and generally people who feel that they are blessed are not bad.
The rest of the cake was cut by Wu Siniang, and this gap naturally couldn't let the guests stare at Wu Siniang to cut the cake, Chen Qian motioned to Chen Xiu.
Chen Xiu immediately understood and shouted: "Birthday!" β
The banquet was opened, everyone sat down one after another, and Chen Qian stepped forward to toast one by one.
Chen Qian is a hot figure, many people don't pay attention to the cake anymore, wait for three or two glasses of wine, the cake is all cut neatly in front of everyone, the man is gone, the important thing on the wine table is current affairs, but women and children are different, they pick it up and eat it.
If only some people knew about the cake before today, but after today, the cake will be widely advertised, and those who disdain to know will also know it.
Wan Chaoyun looked at everyone's satisfaction, she was very pleased, and worked hard to hand-refine the pigment, color matching, framing, and cream...... All this work was done in vain!
Although she was so tired that her whole body ached, as long as she thought of the large amount of silver, she felt that everything was worth it.
What a woman who sees money.
The cake is on the scene, Wan Chaoyun quietly withdrew, today is the birthday of the old lady, she is the center of everyone's attention, she should not steal the limelight.
Back at home, she lay quietly upstairs on the Wang'an Building, looking at the sunset that burned in the evening, the magnificent color, so beautiful.
"Wow." The sound of eagerness to go upstairs.
"Owner, owner!" Before the person arrived, Chen Yue was so excited that he got goosebumps.
Wan Chaoyun sat up lazily, looked at the staircase, and after a while, he saw Chen Yue who appeared with a fat body, she was sweating at the moment, but she didn't notice it at all.
"Owner! There are 60 orders to make the kind of cake that is about the same size, do you think you can make it? He asked excitedly and cautiously.
Wan Chaoyun looked at him like an idiot, "Why can't you do what I bothered to do?" β
"Yes, yes, the little one thinks about it, the owner, you do it yourself? Still is? β
"Only Mrs. Chen's level is worthy of me to do it myself, let Wu Siniang do it." Wan Chaoyun said, threw out a quotation form, "This is the price of a large cake." β
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine taels?" Chen Yue was so frightened that his hands trembled, "Owner, will it be too expensive?" β
"It's not expensive, they have silver." Wan Chaoyun smiled and handed over the food coloring that had been prepared long ago, and attached the usage, as for how to extract it, she didn't want to hand it over for the time being, "Let them practice quickly, and only after practicing can they take bigger orders." β
"Girl, can you make it in time? Three of them will be ordered the day after tomorrow. β
This is really too late, Wan Chaoyun frowned slightly, after all, it was almost a thousand taels, and he couldn't be fooled, "I'll do it, let them come over and watch and learn." β
As a result, Wan Chaoyun was immediately so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and she stayed in the kitchen all day, and she didn't even see anyone when King Gong personally came to reward her.
The thank you gift sent by Chen Qian was also placed in the dust of Wang'an Tower.
The three big cakes that are urgently needed are all the families of civil officials. With the rules of embroidering birds for civil officials and embroidering beasts for military attachΓ©s, Wan Chaoyun only needs to do it according to the grade.
The first grade of the crane, the second grade of the golden chicken, the third grade of the peacock, the fourth grade of the cloud goose......
However, the objects served by these three cakes are too young, so naturally they can't frame this kind of serious and solemn pattern, but can only replace them with cute.
And one of the three cakes has to be sent to Gongzi to celebrate his birthday, which is not a difficult thing for Wan Chaoyun.
gave it to Childe, and made a blue smooth sailing, and the whole cake was rolled up with layers of blue waves, holding the sailboat; For the girl, there is pink and red and white, the pink cake is made in the shape of a book, implying that the girl is knowledgeable, and the red and white cake is plum blossoms, implying that the girl is as noble as a cold plum.
These three cakes also quickly spread among young people, and the pastry shop once again ushered in a hot climax.
And Wan Chaoyun was so tired that he collapsed, he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to lie down!
The main thing is that she hasn't watered the peach tree for three days in order to make the cake!
After a hard night's sleep, she came to her senses a little.
Looking at the thank you gift sent by Chen Qian, Wan Chaoyun reached out and opened it, and found that there was only a red coral bracelet inside, which was very exquisitely made, and it was carried on her hand, with her fair skin, it also complemented each other.
"Girl, King Wu and Princess Wu are here, the master and uncle are not here, the third master is out of prison today, and he went to Jingzhao Mansion together." Qinghuan came to report.
Wan Chaoyun frowned, "What?" My third uncle was released from prison? β
"Yes, the third master has cleared his grievances and was released from the yamen today, and the third lady and uncle are also here." Qing Huan respectfully returned.
Wan Chaoyun: "......"
"Call to Wen Mansion and call someone." Her face was like frost, and her tone was as cold as the cold air whistling in the cold winter.
Not often, Gao Zhi, Mingtong, and Ye Wei came over together, and the three of them saw Wan Chaoyun's cold face, and they understood in their hearts why she was unhappy.
"The owner." The three of them are at a loss, and their momentum is insufficient.
"Explain." Wan Chaoyun's tone was cold.
Several people exchanged glances, and Gao Zhi said: "Dongjia, your third uncle didn't really steal after all, we can't wronged him, and Master Hu won't let us wronged him because you have been wronged." β
"Okay, I accept this explanation, but please tell me how the Tang clan arrived in Beijing so quickly."
"The owner forgives the sin, and the subordinates originally arranged people, but our people were hit by two groups of people and failed to complete the task, and only blocked it for a few days." Gao Zhi bowed his head, he didn't expect that a mere Tang clan could attract so many forces.
Wan Chaoyun slapped on the small table, "Two groups of people, have you caught them?" β
Several people buried their heads lower, "The owner forgives the sin, and the subordinates are incompetent." β
"I remember my fourth brother once said, saying that you are outstanding, and there is nothing you can't do, what's the matter? Bullying me at a young age? Fool me? Her voice was not loud, but her majesty was like a heavy iron cone, piercing deep into the hearts of several people, and they couldn't help but tremble, it turned out that the soft owner, when angry, was so terrible.
"The owner forgives the sin." They can't justify, how can the previous opponent be as difficult as the current one, it is basically two levels, and those two groups of people, helping each other, two fists are hard to beat four hands!
"I'm so disappointed in you." Wan Chaoyun dropped the words full of helplessness and disappointment and turned around and went down to Wang'an Tower, she wanted to hurry to Jingzhao Mansion to have a look.
