Chapter Ninety-One: The Low Looks Higher
Luo and Kong were still shocked and speechless for a while.
This kid is really amazing...... Against all odds.
"The recipe for winemaking is what my father saw in a miscellaneous book, it should have been ancient, but for some reason it has declined over the years. Because I was worried about folding the book before, and I was afraid that the two aunts would think I was greedy, so I ......"
"That's a good thing, you kid! I just didn't expect you to make sake too! Luo was the first to react, and hurriedly said: "Then keep this wine for your uncle and uncle, he is not afraid of getting drunk." After saying that, he told the girl to change the tea.
"Okay, I'll ask people to send more to the two aunts' families, and I'm still exploring and improving the recipe for winemaking, and when I find the one that is suitable for the female dependents to drink, I will ask the two aunts to help taste it."
"That's natural, Yun Niang gave birth to such a powerful daughter, at a young age, she will make money, my children can't even read books." Kong sighed.
Now that the wine shop is booming, they think that Shen Qiutan is powerful, if Shen Qiutan wants to get a rouge shop and open a wine shop at the beginning, they will probably think that this eleven-year-old girl is young and vigorous, and she doesn't know the severity.
"It's you who are too humble!" Shen Qiutan personally poured tea for the two ladies, these two aunts gave birth to sons, Luo's two sons are one eighteen and one fifteen, the eldest is scheduled to welcome this year, the female family is the daughter of the Lu family of Taichang Temple Zhengqing, and the younger one is also discussing marriage now; Kong died a daughter in the past, and now he only has a son, but he is only ten years old, and he is still at the age of playing.
The two ladies only moved their chopsticks slightly, but Shen Qiutan endured it with difficulty, in the Shen family, she, the big stomach king, didn't want to hide it, and she couldn't hide it, but outside, she was afraid that she would frighten the two aunts. borrowed to live in the Tang family before, and she relied on secretly eating peppercorns to satisfy her stomach. Now I don't dare to eat it when I look at the deliciousness, but I am a little tormented.
The harmony of the meal was abnormal, Shen Qiutan said goodbye, just got into the carriage, touched the empty stomach, her eyes rolled, there are a few steamed vegetables in the Shixiangju that are really delicious, since you are not full, why don't you change the route and go there to have a good meal?
She arrived at Shixiangju beautifully, and luckily there was still a small private room left, and she had money in her pocket, so she didn't even look at the menu, but only told the guys to bring up the signature dishes of the housekeeper.
Mu Xiang had long been accustomed to her girl's food being bigger than her, and the guy's eyes widened and he persuaded, "But the girl wants to take it away in a box?" If you don't take it away, you're afraid you won't be able to finish it, although our store is called Shixiangju, but there are eighteen signature dishes. ”
Eighteen dishes, I don't know how big the plate is, if it's not big or small, it should barely be enough to eat, Shen Qiutan nodded: "Come on, and the yellow rice steamed cake will be eight first!" ”
The guy was stunned, and Mu Xiang pushed the person out.
After a while, eighteen dishes were brought up together with steamed cakes, the plate was not small, and the table was not enough, Shen Qiutan asked the man to take another small table, picked out four untouched dishes and a steamed cake, and asked Mu Xiang to eat it herself, and she closed the door herself, and cleaned the dishes on the table like a whirlwind.
"Ah, comfort!" Fortunately, I didn't open a restaurant in a hurry, just in terms of the taste of steamed and cooked dishes, what I made by myself is really not as delicious as this Shixiangju!
A carriage with a black roof and gold stripes passed by Shixiangju, and saw seven or eight carriages parked at the door, and the one in the far corner had a small "Shen" character hanging on it, so he told the coachman to stop the carriage.
After a short time, a pale young man got down from the carriage, and with the hand of an old eunuch, he slowly and lazily entered the Shixiang Residence.
"Ouch, His Royal Highness King Qi! It's been a long time since you've been to the shop! Seeing that it was King Qi, the shopkeeper personally greeted him, and said enthusiastically: "Thanks to the fact that there is still a private room left, please inside?" ”
King Qi nodded, and the old eunuch said, "Lead the way." ”
The shopkeeper was busy leading people to the third floor, they opened a restaurant in the capital, especially this one is very good, no matter when you have to leave a spare private room, this is down-to-earth, otherwise who knows when there will be a great character.
Qi Wangsheng was pale, looking very weak, he fell down when the wind came, but he was not thin, the old eunuch helped him into the most luxurious private room, and he sat on the cushioned back chair, which actually seemed a little small.
The shopkeeper quietly closed the door, and he didn't dare to ask His Royal Highness King Qi what he wanted to eat, just a few things as usual.
In the private room, the old eunuch poured water for King Qi, and touched the temperature of the cup to see if it was lukewarm, before bringing it to King Qi, King Qi said lazily: "Who is on the other side?" ”
The old eunuch bowed, opened the door, and whispered something to a black-faced guard at the door, and after a short time the guard came back and said, "It seems to be a girl from the Shen family." ”
At this time, Shen Qiutan was full of wine and food, and opened the door with some satisfaction, ready to leave, and after the guard finished speaking, he also opened the door of King Qi's private room and walked out.
The two private rooms are opposite each other, and the windows are open, and the two doors are open at the same time, and a gust of wind passes through the hall leisurely.
King Qi wrinkled his nose, and the smell of cold leftovers wafting from the opposite side, as well as a smell of fat powder that washed his nose, made him a little faintly nauseated, but it seemed to be ...... There's also a familiar smell in it.
Shen Qiutan walked quickly, and went downstairs in a blink of an eye, King Qi frowned, and the light in his eyes changed several times.
…………
July 19.
The Shen Mansion was full of relatives and friends, and fifteen-year-old Shen Qiumei blushed and completed the ceremony of the contemplation.
Shen Yanhai and the Wang family sat on the main seat, the Yao family was the guest of honor, Shen Qiutong was the praiser, the Shen family's clansmen in Beijing and the old Yang family's mother's Xie family, the Xue family, and several other Shen family daughters married in the capital watched the ceremony together.
Ji Lu is a big event for women, and it is of great significance, the Shen family invited everyone who could be invited, and even Shen Changsong and Shen Changbai also took leave from the academy.
After the New Year, Shen Changsong is already fifteen years old, and he has not yet discussed his relatives, and it is said that he will wait for the end of this autumn, and he will be admitted to the examination first, and then consider his relatives.
He is a son-in-law, and in order to teach this only son, the Yao family has exhausted a lot of effort to make him have today's achievements. And he is indeed an ambitious person, but his intelligence and talent are slightly lacking.
But for some of them, it's enough.
He is neither tall nor short, he has inherited the good appearance of the old marquis Shen, his face is thoughtful, he looks like a gentleman, and Shen Changbai on his side is timid, and Shen Changsong is even more tall and handsome.
What an ang husband.
Xie Chunfei was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she subconsciously pulled her sister's sleeve, but saw that her sister was staring at Shen Changsong intently.
She let go of her sister's sleeve, and an inexplicable glint flashed in her eyes.
