Chapter XI
"Mo'er, Mo'er, why are you leaving so fast, wait for me!" As soon as she came out of the Yiwang Mansion, Mo'er seemed to have escaped from the thief's den, and the two steps combined into one step walked extremely fast.
I trotted behind to catch up, "Mo'er, why are you walking so fast, chasing me hurts my heels." "I grabbed Mo'er's hand and lowered my ankle from time to time, it really hurt!
"Ah Candle, don't drag me, I won't fool around with you again in the future, last time I almost asked the master to drive me out of the house for your business, and this time I suffered so much grievance for no reason!" Mo'er was angry, she liked to call me by my name when she was angry.
"Oh, good Mo'er, I was wrong, don't be angry and ignore me, if you ignore me, I will definitely be bored to death all day, how about I take you to Uncle Zhang to buy pine flower cake?" Every time I persuade Mo'er with such a flattering face, because she always eats soft and not hard.
"Songhua cake is what you like to eat, Miss, and it's not what I like to eat, it doesn't matter how much you buy for me!" Mo'er still couldn't untie her brows like that, and her words were twisted and pinched.
"Well, then tell me what I can do so that you don't get angry?"
"Well, is that true?" Mo'er's eyes rolled, and she seemed to be ready to move.
"Well, as long as it's not a star in the sky!" Actually, I really have some expectations, I don't know what Mo'er wants, it's not something to eat.
"Well, if I don't get angry, it's simple, if Miss sends me a string of oh no, three strings of sugar gourds, plus the new rouge gouache from the Jade Girl Fang!"
"Deal, let's go, let's buy!" Sure enough, Mo'er has a good temperament, and it's easy to say anything!
"Qianche!"
Qian Che walked in, "What does Your Highness command?" ”
Chu Muxiu spread out the rice paper he had just written to dry: "You go to the street to buy me some pine flower cakes!" ”
Qian Che felt a little strange: "Songhua cake? But a snack? ”
Chu Muxiu put away his sleeves and raised his head, "Well, the appearance is crystal white and snow-white, with a faint smell of pine nuts!" ”
Qian Che touched the belt around his waist, "Your Highness, I remember that you have never eaten this kind of thing before, why did you suddenly want to eat snacks on a whim today?"
"A few days ago, I met an old man, and she gave me a piece, which tastes good!"
Qian Che's eyes widened, like the kind of old woman who has eaten enough and has nothing to do, "Old man, when did His Royal Highness hand over the old man?" Is it male or female? Where is it now? ”
"There's so much nonsense, but the monthly money will be halved next month?"
"Oh no, no, I still want the money this month, but I want to stay to beg for my wife in the future......" Qian Che leisurely picked up his sword and walked out of the house.
"Your Highness, look, this is the pine flower cake you want?" In less than a pillar of incense, Qian Che returned, and he opened the paper bag and placed it on the board.
"Exactly!" Chu Muxiu glanced at it, then picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
Qian Che couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "How does Your Highness taste?" "Because Chu Muxiu has never eaten this kind of sweets, the entire palace kitchen will not do this, and the people of the entire palace will suffer.
"Well, it's a little different from what I ate a few days ago, but I think it's a little softer and crispier the other day, would you like to try it?" Xu heard the sound of Qian Che swallowing saliva, or maybe he felt a little lonely eating alone.
"Your Highness should have said it earlier, you see that this fragrance is about to run out!" Qian Che picked up a piece of pine cake casually, and he was embarrassed to complain about his prince.
"What does Qianche think?" Chu Muxiu was looking forward to what could come out of Qian Che's mouth, because he didn't eat sweets like himself, and he only ate two meals a day.
"Hmm......" Qian Che closed his eyes and looked very enjoyed, "It smells sweet, the entrance is crispy, the bite is delicious, the sweetness is not greasy sweet, the crisp is not a broken crisp, it is really a good product!" ”
"......" Chu Muxiu didn't know what to say, the Songhua cake was really delicious, but what Qian Che said was too exaggerated, a small pastry actually gave him flowers, I really don't know if he praised the food for its good taste, or patted his own fart, but this fart made Chu Muxiu happy!
"From this pine cake alone, you can expect that Your Highness, the old man, must be a particular person, I think that a person as dull and boring as Your Highness, should make more interesting friends like this, maybe you can know something delicious from her mouth!" Qianche's mouth was full of pine flower cakes, and he couldn't say it clearly.
Chu Muxiu raised his head and glanced at the few pine cakes left in the paper bag, "Then you didn't ask her just now?" ”
"Didn't I just know, besides, ...... just now" Qian Che was stunned for a while, and finally stopped, "You, you mean that the young lady just now is your so-called old friend!" ”
"Hurry up and wipe the scum off your mouth and go with me to see my uncle!" Chu Muxiu only ate a piece of pine cake, put down the pen in his hand and went out.
Songhua cake fell out of Qian Che's hand with a bang, "God, that young lady just now is the old man of His Royal Highness, but I regarded her maid as an assassin and arrested her, it's really amazing......"
Mo'er and I came out of the Jade Girl's Workshop, Mo'er happily held her rouge gouache, in fact, I know that Mo'er likes rouge gouache, after all, she is a daughter's family, and she loves beauty when she is a girl......
As always, I want to buy Songhua Cake, because there are not many opportunities to come out, and the Songhua Cake made by my grandmother in the kitchen is not delicious, although the materials used are good, but I always feel that the chewing is not sweet, and it is not as delicious as the outside made of brown rice and watered pine oil. I don't know if it's made authentic outside or if I'm born blessed and shallow and won't enjoy it, but I don't care about it, as long as I eat happily.
I walked in and handed 20 yuan to Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, the same old way, two bags of pine flower cakes, 20 yuan!" ”
Because I will come to this Zhang Ji Cake to buy Songhua cake as soon as I have the opportunity to come out, Uncle Zhang's Songhua cake I grew up from a snack, and Uncle Zhang and I are very familiar with it. Said that day and Chu Muxiu together and returned to Huancheng, originally hungry and wanted to eat some pine cake in Uncle Zhang's store, but Uncle Zhang did not open that day, so he bought it in another house next door, in fact, his Songhua cake is as delicious as Uncle Zhang's, but I just like to drill into Uncle Zhang's store, people are looking for taste, I not only want to taste but also a nostalgic feeling......
Uncle Zhang is about the same age as my father, and like Aunt Song, he didn't get married when he was young, so naturally he didn't have children. Sometimes I always think, Aunt Song is a woman who has no support, and Uncle Zhang is a kind-hearted and honest lord, there is only one person between them who pulls the red line, otherwise they will make do with the fire and get by, and when Uncle Zhang comes to the house, I am still worried about not having authentic Songhua cake to eat. But every time I mentioned these things, Aunt Song was anxious with me, and then she never bought Uncle Zhang's pine cake with me when she came out to do errands, and I never dared to mention Uncle Zhang in front of her again. Uncle Zhang's pastries have been open for many years, I opened them when I was a child, and they are still open when I grow up, so it can be said that they are an old brand!
Uncle Zhang smiled and pushed my hand back, "Oh, Ah Candle came too late today, and the last bag of Songhua cake was just bought by a tall and handsome son!" ”
"Bought it, how is this good, I may not be able to come out tomorrow, which apprentice with the same eyes as me bought it!" I'm a little annoyed, I can't say I'm annoyed, anyway, I'm unwilling, if I had come so early and taken such a small step, the last bag of pine cake would have been mine.
"Don't be annoyed, look, what is this?"
"Songhua cake? And Songhua cake! As soon as I looked up, I saw Uncle Zhang holding a bag full of pine cakes in front of me.
"Uncle Zhang, you, how can you bluff people!" I was so surprised and delighted that I stomped my foot and took the bag of pine cake tremblingly.
"Uncle Zhang has done a good job today, and I have to let Ah Candle taste this kind of teasing taste!" Mo'er held her, and did not forget to insert a foot in the back.
I stared back fiercely: "Mo'er doesn't want the rouge in his hand?" ”
"Want, want!" Mo'er's mouth pursed suddenly, and she instantly put what she held in her hand into her pocket and hid it well.
"Hahaha...... Why are you still like when you were a child, and now that you have grown up, you don't have the appearance that adults should be! Uncle Zhang didn't talk much, he only laughed on the side.
"That's right, Uncle Zhang, just joking but forgetting to get down to business, give, this is the money to buy Songhua cake!" I handed over the twenty wen silver in my hand again, although a bag of pine flower cake only costs ten wen, but my Uncle Zhang stuffed a lot of pieces in this bag, which is enough for two bags, and it is not too much to give twenty wen.
"Hey......" Uncle Zhang pushed my hand aside again, "Ah Candle, what is the relationship between you and me, the prime minister in the house is your father, and I am your father outside, how can there be a father in this world who cares about his daughter asking for money!" "Although Uncle Zhang doesn't talk much, every word is imprinted on my heart and warms in my heart.
I pushed the money back again: "Uncle Zhang, just take it, I know you can't make much money a day by opening a small shop, I've eaten here for so many years, and now that I'm older, I can't rely on the bills anymore!" "Actually, I still have some money in my pocket, and I want to give all the money on my body to Uncle Zhang, but Uncle Zhang is very stubborn, and every time I give him money, he gets annoyed.
"Ah Candle, it's enough for you to call me Uncle Zhang, I remember that you were young at that time, and you followed your Aunt Song to the street, and when you saw my Songhua cake, you couldn't walk, so you pestered Aunt Song to ask her to buy it for you. You, once you eat it, you say it's delicious, and you always come back in the future, and you help me make a lot of money in this little shop. You said that the things in the house are not delicious, cold and tasteless, unlike my small shop, which is warm, humane, and delicious. Later, I learned that you were the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to open a store for several days, for fear that something would happen to you, and your family would come to me, maybe my small shop would be demolished. You were also stupid at that time, waiting for me outside my store every day, and I couldn't bear to come back. Although you are the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are not squeamish at all, you must not dislike us, and you are not like those rich people who look down on people with snobbery, and you still call me every day, so that I can show off in the neighborhood. You say so, how can I take your money! ”
I was very happy, but after Uncle Zhang finished speaking, I couldn't help but feel sour, my eyes were red but I didn't cry, "That Uncle Zhang, you said that you are my father, then this is a daughter who honors her father, you put it away first, if I don't have money on the street one day, I will take care of you again!" After saying that, I just stuffed the money into Uncle Zhang's pocket.
Uncle Zhang wiped his eyes and finally accepted it......
I walked out with a big bag of pine cake and Mo'er, "Mo'er, look, the sunset is out!" ”
Mo'er took it out and looked at it a few more times, "It's so beautiful...... It's just that I couldn't see it under the osmanthus tree in the house today! ”
This is the first time that Mo'er and I have gone home to welcome the sunset, "In fact, I found that as long as it is sunset, it is the same everywhere I look at it......"
Since I was a child, others have thought that I have no mother so I am pitiful, but I have never thought like this, in fact, I think I am happier than anyone else, I have Daddy, Aunt Song, Mo'er, Uncle Zhang, and endless Songhua cake......
