Chapter 124
There was nothing to do that day, Xiangru went back to her room after meeting with everyone in the kitchen, and after sitting for a while, a few little girls sent a bunch of brand-new clothes for Xiangru to choose and try on, the colorful 'color' of good materials is much better than the rain and azure 'color' worn by Xiangru, I heard the girls say that this is the clothes that the chief manager only wears, that is, only people at the level of Sister-in-law Lu can wear it.
So many good clothes picked 'flower' Xiangru's eyes, tried them on one by one, and it took a long time to pick out the clothes.
Originally, Xiangru only wanted to pick three or four clothes enough to change and wash, but the girls didn't follow, saying that the clothes of the ladies in charge were not worn for a month, and these clothes were specially 'delivered' by Sister-in-law Lu, and only those that did not fit were allowed to be returned, and the others had to be accepted, which was a matter of face for the Hou Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
So for the sake of the face of the two mansions, Xiangru had to keep putting on and taking off, tried on all the clothes sent, returned the ill-fitting and inappropriate appearance, and accepted all the rest, and calculated that it was at least enough for half a month not to be the same.
After picking out the clothes, the girls combed Xiangru's hair again, removed Xiangru's habitual palace bun, except for the bangs, the other hair was combed to the back of the head and directly coiled a single bun with a hairpin, leaving the hair and tail hanging in front of the 'chest', like a 'woman' and not a 'woman', a girl is not a girl, and then put on a pair of clothes, with the description of Xiangru's palace edification, it is indeed a person who does not dare to come forward to tease and bully, afraid of the 'woman' of a big family.
After all these things, it was time for lunch, and after eating and taking a nap, Xiangru changed into new clothes to thank the eldest princess.
Xiangru is the youngest 'spring' beautiful age, plus people rely on clothes, after changing into beautiful clothes, Xiangru is also a lot more beautiful, seeing the eldest princess and Sister-in-law Lu's eyes lit up, after a few words of laughter, the eldest princess rewarded some hairpins 'flower' rings, teaching Xiangru to dress up more beautifully.
"I didn't see it, Doctor He is such a wonderful person, these days in the house, don't wear the clothes in the palace, it's really a good person." As a princess born in the palace, from childhood to adulthood until now, the people who are close to her are beautiful and handsome people, and the eldest princess, who is used to being surrounded by beauties, is naturally happy when she sees Xiangru like this.
"I don't know how many sons and brothers will be fascinated by walking in front like this, so it would be too much of a sin." Sister-in-law Lu pursed her lips.
Xiangru lowered her head and smiled shyly.
The eldest princess and Sister-in-law Lu talked and laughed a few more words, and saw that Xiangru was getting more and more embarrassed, so they spared her and let her go back.
Out of the main room, Xiangru met the eldest lady and the little master again, and hurriedly saluted and greeted, the two little masters saw that Xiangru hadn't recognized it at first glance, and couldn't believe that the beautiful girl in front of them was the one who served him last year.
Xiangru is also very happy to see the two little masters, the two children have grown a lot taller, and the eldest lady is becoming more and more like an eldest princess. And the little young master, in addition to being taller, his appearance is still like that, a pair of flexible eyes are black and white, revealing intelligence and cleverness, I don't know if he is still so naughty.
Shuangcai greeted for a while, Xiangru said goodbye and retired, and went back to the house to prepare for what she would do tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the real sense of her own street, don't look at Xiangru's calm face, talk freely with people, in her heart has long been uncontrollable 'agitation', looking forward to tomorrow to come, she wants to use her feet to measure the road in the capital.
If you want to open a 'medicine' restaurant in the future, you must fully understand the people in the market, these nine months are the best opportunity, and the eldest princess is also willing to give herself a chance, now she just lets herself go to the morning market to buy vegetables, and in a few days, maybe she will arrange for herself to do more things, qǐsǔü Anyway, under the banner of food medicine, you can go to the street for any reason.
Xiangru also knew very well in her heart that the eldest princess's actions were all to entrap herself, but fortunately, her political intentions were also inclined to the orthodoxy of the royal family, Xiangru did not resist at all, and gladly accepted the eldest princess's arrangement.
The rest of the day passed quietly, Xiangru freshened up and went to bed early, she inquired with the kitchen during the day, and made an appointment with the purchaser to meet, Xiangru didn't want to be late.
When I woke up, the sky was just "cloudy" and "cloudy", in fact, it was still early, but Xiangru couldn't sleep, got up "bed" to freshen up, everything was ready, sat in the room for a while, the appointed time arrived, Xiangru rushed to the kitchen to meet with the purchase.
The full-time procurement of the kitchen is also a housekeeper lady, nearly forty people, the little man is very kind, the back is a little hunched, has been a grandmother, because there is a Cuiyu in her name, the kitchen calls her Cui Niang, Xiangru is also called so.
Xiangru came to the kitchen courtyard, Cui Niang was already waiting there, saw Xiangru, after the two sides greeted each other, Cui Niang carried a big bamboo basket and took Xiangru out of the Hou Mansion from the back street corner 'door'.
The morning market is some distance from the mansion, so I have to go out early, otherwise I will let people buy fresh vegetables if I miss the time.
Cui Niang took the initiative to tell Xiangru about some things on the street while walking, and when she came to the street, Cui Niang also pointed to the shops on both sides that had not yet opened the "door" to tell Xiangru what they were doing, how the goods were, what the reputation was, what tricks and signature products did the competitors of the "door" and so on.
Xiangru listened with relish, and there were more and more questions, Cui Niang answered them patiently, and Xiangru learned a lot of common sense of life in the capital this morning.
Walked three streets, came to the nearest morning market, vegetable stalls spread out on both sides of the street, stretching continuously, all of them were sent in by farmers outside the city at the time of opening the city's 'gate', the vegetables and fruits were fresh and watery, all kinds of live birds in the cage were clucking and croaking lively, and the 'meat' stall was placed with a cut **'meat' class, and there was no water injection.
There are people coming and going on the street, most of them are housewives, and all kinds of trucks shuttle back and forth, and there are coolies squatting on the side of the wall waiting for the work, and occasionally there are men who are dressed very 'fancy' and look like they are passing by.
There are vegetable vendors who recognize Cui Niang loudly beckoning Cui Niang to buy their own vegetables, Cui Niang also smiled and went over to say hello, Xiangru took a few steps behind and looked around, not only to see if there were any dishes suitable for the eldest princess to eat, but also to see the breath of life in this living market.
Xiangru's high-end clothes and hairstyle made the people on the street realize that this person's identity was unprovoked, and they all avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, people would rather squeeze around with others, but there was always a small vacuum around Xiangru, and no one dared to approach her.
"Girl, do you have any food you want to buy?" After Cui Niang bought a handful of green vegetables, she asked Xiangru while paying. As early as before going out, Xiangru had 'handed over' and didn't call her a doctor outside, so Cui Niang called her a girl.
"I haven't decided yet, Cui Niang, you buy the vegetables you want to buy first, and I'll make up some when I return."
"Hey, okay, that's whatever the girl is."
Cui Niang took Xiangru from the street to the end of the street, Cui Niang bought the dishes that she wanted in the kitchen today, and when she returned the same way, Xiangru pointed to the stall she was optimistic about before and bought some vegetables, the basket was getting heavier and heavier, and it was almost enough, and the two went home.
When passing by an early shop, I saw that many people were queuing up to buy, thinking that I had not eaten breakfast and came out to buy vegetables, and my stomach was hungry at this time, so Xiangru also lined up to buy a few big 'meat' buns out of her own pocket and invited Cui Niang to eat together.
Cui Niang thanked her repeatedly, the two of them walked while eating, Cui Niang also told Xiangru that the buns of this shop are the best on the street, the thin skin of the 'meat' thick juice is more affordable, but it is also the most expensive, people's 'meat' buns are sold for two cents a piece, this one sells for three wen, she is never reluctant to buy this bun to eat.
Xiangru turned her head to look at the breakfast shop behind her, the crowd lined up a little longer than before, it seems that no matter whether it is expensive or not, delicious is the last word, as long as it is delicious, there will be people willing to pay. The same is true for your future 'medicine' restaurant, if you want to attract diners, you must show real skills, it seems that digging up other 'medicine' chefs has to be included in a one-step plan, and the location of the store is carried out at the same time.
Just a few buns, it made Xiangru think of her career, should I say that her thinking is too jumpy, or should I say that she is quick in thinking?
Anyway, Xiangru's career development plan has changed again, when she and Cuiniang returned to the Hou Mansion and 'handed over' what the cook would cook for the eldest princess's lunch, Xiangru hurriedly retracted into the room and wrote down the thoughts just now. The little girl brought her breakfast, and when she saw Xiangru writing, she thought she was writing the recipes of the eldest princess, and praised Xiangru for her good diligence while distributing the meal. Xiangru smiled without explaining.
The days pass lightly, *** regularly come to the eldest princess every few days to diagnose the pulse, Xiangru rushes to the morning market every day to buy vegetables and 'hand' to the cook to cook, every day after breakfast to the eldest princess to say goodbye, by the way, ask some physical conditions, so as to adjust the dietary arrangement.
Other than that, she stays in the room when she has nothing to do.,Except for the girl in the same hospital.,She doesn't have much contact with others.。 If the eldest lady or the little young master wants Xiangru to make some snacks for her own use or entertain guests, Xiangru will also do it, but she will not take the initiative to chat with the eldest lady and the young master, and even the Hou Ye is very rare to meet.
After staying in the house for a long time, Xiangru found that the little young master was still as naughty as ever, and every few days she would hear people talking about the gossip about the young master sneaking into the street, and the number of successes was far more than the number of failures, and the failures were only because of some unexpected situations that people could be lucky enough to intercept the young master in time.
Xiangru couldn't laugh when she heard it back, and she began to follow the people to speculate about the little young master's sneaking methods, which is really an excellent conversation after dinner, and it can also greatly exercise her imagination, but it's a pity that the young master won't tell everyone how he leaves home every time, which is a pity.
When the summer was halfway through, ***, who regularly came to cut the pulse of the eldest princess, brought a message to Xiangru, first telling Xiangru that Xiaoxia's medical wife had been upgraded to Hu Ershao's 'milk' and 'milk' a few days ago, and then telling Xiangru Xu Dashao's 'milk' and 'milk' Xia's was about to give birth, and after more than a month, it would be the day of Yu's family's 'milk' and 'milk' Xie Shi's Tianding.
Three messages in a row made Xiangru happy, in the Hou Mansion I don't know how the plan is going outside, *** is an outsider, it's not good to ask him to bring letters in, fortunately, these are all happy events, and it's a message, but it doesn't hurt.
The message was told to Xiangru in *** 'privately', and Xiangru didn't tell anyone else, but the joy that couldn't be suppressed still made Xiangru buy needles and threads from the morning market for a few days, and as soon as she was free, she made needlework in the room, and sewed all kinds of three-dimensional cartoon image rag doll toys for the soon-to-be-born brothers and sisters.
When a pair of cloth tigers are completed, because they are completely different from the traditional cloth tiger image, they attracted the attention of all the girls in the courtyard, and they all felt fresh and fun, especially the younger girls, who were holding the cloth tigers and couldn't put them down, and some ingenious girls secretly remembered the appearance, thinking that they would sew a few for their younger brothers and sisters at home to play.
After the eldest princess heard about it, she saw the finished product sewn by Xiangru again, and she was also interested, and asked Xiangru to sew a few rag dolls for her unborn child, and in exchange, she allowed Xiangru to go out of the house to visit the master and uncle who was about to give birth.
Xiangru was overjoyed and agreed
