The next day, Xiangru sent three boxes of jewelry to the master and uncle, and there was a note in the jewelry box, indicating that the pearls inlaid on the jewelry were all earned from business.

Xie Ziyan and the others were amazed that Xiangru's business could do so well with the "fine" jewelry, but after recognizing that those pearls were all saltwater pearls, they were as smart as they immediately thought of the origin of the pearls, because they also had pearls of the same quality from the same person in their hands. Thinking of this, the three young 'milk' and 'milk' happily accepted this rich gift and began to think about a suitable return gift.

The other four pieces of jewelry Xiangru were left for the time being, and she still had a few gifts not ready, but the suitable gift merchant in front of her was not well injured and was not suitable for reception, but fortunately, she was not in a hurry.

After the little ones sent out the gifts, Xiangru went to the kitchen to toss her 'milk' oil cake, she changed yesterday's plan, no longer forced herself to make the kind of round 'milk' oil cake that she knew would 'insert' candles on the top, this 'door' smearing 'milk' oil kung fu will not be practiced for a while, so she plans to make another 'milk' oil cake today.

She baked a rectangular cake embryo, only smeared a layer of 'milky' oil on the surface, and regardless of whether it was pushed evenly or not, it looked like it was bulldozed evenly. After wiping, she used a knife to divide it into small pieces, and then squeezed a 'milk' oil 'flower' in the middle of each small cake, put a fresh hawthorn on the 'milk' oil 'flower', and spread a circle of kiwi slices and apple slices around the 'milk' oil 'flower'.

Around the long table to see the lively chef kitchen workers they praised the cake beautiful, the kitchen worker 'stick' to a large plate of dim sum cartons, Xiangru to demonstrate, shovel up four cakes with a shovel and put two boxes respectively, packed and let the big tiger and the little tiger be sent to Shuhou Mansion to the lord of Rui and Xiang Fei, the rest let the kitchen workers help pack the box, a box with a piece of cake for the afternoon to the guests to taste, Xiangru dragged another plate of cold cake embryo to repeat the previous steps.

At the time of afternoon tea, the guests saw that the tasting products presented today turned out to be unprecedented fresh and beautiful dim sum, and praised the magic, many people 'figured' not to know what the white "color" layer on the surface of the cake was, and tasted a sweet and smooth taste with a little animal smell.

Some people speculated whether this was Boss He's craftsmanship at pressing the bottom of the box, and asked the guys to invite He Xiangru to the front to solve everyone's curiosity.

Xiangru complied with the wishes of the guests, and went to the front to explain the "milk" oil cake, telling the guests what the "milk" products are "milk" oil butter, and frankly admitting that if the new product tasting this month achieves the expected effect, it will become an official dim sum and be written into the dim sum list of the Five Flavors.

The guests applauded and encouraged Xiangru to continue to work hard and have a prosperous business in the future.

Xiangru politely thanked the guests for their good words, and after a while of greetings, she left the venue and beckoned the kitchen to start preparing for the evening opening.

On the second day, Xiangru made a paper cup praline cake, and sent one to the lord of Rui as usual, and the big tiger who ran the 'leg' came back to report, saying that the lord of Rui liked the "milk" oil cake sent yesterday, and hoped that Xiangru could send more next time, and she wanted to show her relatives and friends to see it.

Xiangru expected this to be the result, and confidently sent Xiaohu to find the owner of the dim sum carton for Wuwei Restaurant, and asked for a larger carton to be ordered, which was specially used for cakes. Xiaohu wrote down the size, 'flower', 'color' and other requirements that Xiangru said, and immediately went out of the 'door' and got busy.

In the afternoon, Guo Jin came to the Wuwei Pavilion with gifts, and from the 'door' of the front store, he walked through the kitchen to the backyard to see Xiangru.

"Guo Jin, what's the matter?" Xiangru invited someone into the study and asked with a smile. In the face of acquaintances, Xiangru also saves unnecessary politeness.

"Two owners." Guo Jin put the beautifully packaged gift on the bookcase, and stood a foot away, with the kind of kind smile on his face that faced his acquaintance, "The young master asked me to send a gift to the second owner to suppress the shock, and by the way, I came to convey two things." ”

"Shock?" Xiangru smiled and understood what Xiang Fei meant, "Okay, I'll accept it, thank you on my behalf." So what did Xiang Fei ask you to bring? "Since Guo said that since he came in from the 'door' of the former store, he naturally wanted to talk about business.

"One thing, the two pieces of 'milk' oil cake sent by the second owner yesterday, the young master didn't eat a bite, so the two nephews and young masters who happened to visit him gave a share, and the young master said that next time he asked the second owner to send a few more."

Xiangru chuckled and nodded slightly, "No problem, I've already sent someone to order a large-sized cake box." ”

"Two things, the young master said that this cake style he has seen in some shops in the embassy district where the Yi people and foreign envoys live, if the second owner wants to go to see it on the spot, please feel free to tell us, the young master will send a car to send you over."

Xiangru immediately came to the 'spirit' spirit, "Okay, it's decided, I will make an appointment with you one day without making an appointment." ”

After Guo Jin conveyed the business that Xiang Fei wanted him to convey, he chatted casually with Xiangru again, and talked about Xiang Fei's recent situation and injury, because of proper maintenance, it was no big deal, but the lord and wife were worried about him, and he was not allowed to go out for the time being, and he had to stay at home for a few days.

Xiangru fully understood the parents' worries, so she asked about the current situation of the young lady who caused the trouble.

Guo Jin said to this unlucky lady that he had not heard any news from her since the case was closed, and although the government had not revealed anything, there were still some gossip about the truth in the circle. Guo Jin guessed that if something like this happened, for the sake of the family's face, this young lady could no longer stay at home, and marrying in a distant place was the best result, otherwise she would only become a monk, or even be used as a tool to become someone else's concubine.

"It is a great shame that the young lady from the main house has become a tool to win over the relationship between the two families. It's really unfortunate, the young master deeply sympathizes with this. ”

"He's sympathetic, well, then I'm sympathetic too." Xiangru clasped her hands together and worshiped heaven and earth. This idea was made by her, and she admitted that if she wanted retribution, she would repay Xiang Fei

Guo Jin didn't stay any longer, he said goodbye and left in a hurry after the conversation ended, Young Master Fei had a lot of things that he couldn't handle in person recently, and their long-term assistants naturally became busier.

After Guo Jin left, Xiangru wanted to read a book and take a break, but when she picked up the book, she unconsciously deserted, and recalled the information that Guo Jin told her before, that some shops in the embassy district where foreigners live have dim sum similar to 'milk' oil cakes, which aroused Xiangru's great curiosity and interest, and she was eager to see what kind of dim sum these foreigners made, but Xiangru immediately flipped through her appointment form, and the appointment was scheduled until after the beginning of winter, and there was no spare time for most of the month.

Xiangru put down the appointment form, scratching the back of her neck with some regret that she couldn't go to inspect her peers in the short term, but with a light smile on her face, she comforted and praised herself.

A few days of busy and peaceful talking, at the end of September, the frost has passed, the deeper 'dew' is heavy, the beginning of winter is close at hand, in this day when everyone is wearing thick clothes and small animals have long been winter, a rare warm afternoon, Xiangru finally saw Xiang Feigongzi, a partner who has recovered from injury, he brought Xiangru a few boxes of gifts, which are all kinds of "flower" kind of "milk" oil cakes bought from the pastry shop in the embassy area.

But the strange thing is that Xiang Fei's mood doesn't seem to be very good, after giving Xiangru the dim sum he brought, he sat down and asked Xiangru if the tasting dim sum he made today was a biscuit or a cake, and when he learned that it was a cake, he opened his mouth to eat, as a reward for his hard work, Xiangru asked Gui 'Hua' to take a piece of 'meat' pine mayonnaise sandwich cake and a bowl of almond tea to him.

Gui 'Hua' also brought Xiangru a few shallow trays and two long-handled copper spoons, and she used the spoons as tongs to clip the cakes on the plate for Xiangru to taste.

Xiangru saw that these cakes were indeed smeared with heavy 'milk' oil, decorated with complicated 'milk' oil 'flowers', one of which was sprinkled with unknown powder, and the other was completely decorated with fruit. Xiangru looked at such a cake, and she felt tired psychologically.

Xiangru turned her head to see Fei Zheng eating, and after thinking about it, Xiangru still stretched out the spoon to the nearest piece at hand, and scooped out a spoonful and only scooped up the 'milk' oil, and the cake crumbs were not touched.

Xiangru reluctantly tasted it, and the sweet taste made Xiangru wrinkle her face involuntarily, "It's so sweet!" ”

Xiang Fei glanced up at Xiangru, "It's so sweet that people don't want to touch a piece of candy for a few days." ”

"This is a common preference among those foreigners?" Xiangru put down the spoon and pushed the plate farther away.

"It's the best pastry in their shop." Xiang Fei gently put down the plate and took a sip of almond tea, it was his turn to frown, "How is it bitter?" ”

"Almond tea made from bitter almonds is of course bitter." Xiangru had an expression on her face that Xiang Fei was making a fuss.

"Why do you use bitter almonds?"

"Bitter almonds are a good 'medicine' for cold and cough, how can I use sweet almonds here this season? That's just a snack and baking topping for me. ”

"Why don't you add some sugar?"

"I added rock sugar, it's not much, and if the bitter almond tea doesn't have this bitter taste, the guests will have an opinion."

Xiang Fei thought about it and felt that Xiangru was reasonable, so he picked up the bowl again and drank the bitter almond tea in one gulp, so bitter that he smacked his lips.

"You're a big pot of almond tea with only a small piece of rock sugar, right?"

"It's bigger than a small piece, and I don't feel sorry for a few pieces of rock candy." Xiangru denied it very matter-of-factly, and her tone changed, "Sweets soothe your emotions, does Fei Gongzi feel better now?" ”

"Nope." Xiang Fei's face stinked again, and he replied stiffly.

"Well, if there's anything unhappy to say, let's all be happy." Xiangru had an expression of interest in listening to the story.

Xiang Fei couldn't stand Xiangru's teasing, which made him a little depressed, but he only struggled with this suggestion for a moment before giving up, "Okay, if you want to listen, I'll tell you, it's better for you to give me another bad idea." ”

"Okay, let's hear it, let me have fun."

Xiang Feifei rolled his eyes, pondered his emotions for a moment before he said simply, "It's very simple, that family wants me to take his 'daughter' as a concubine." ”

"Oh...... Well?! Xiangru was stunned for a moment before reacting, her eyes widened, and the osmanthus 'flower' beside her also had an unbelievable expression, "It was really guessed by the guests!" ”

"Hey, I'm forced to take a concubine, you're excited?" didn't get the comfort he imagined, and Xiang Fei became more and more depressed.

"It's rare that someone can let Young Master Fei eat turtles." Xiangru regained her demeanor and smiled like a 'spring' wind.

"Hey, just right, help me think of a bad idea, how did you refuse the other party."

"It's easy to refuse, as long as you are tougher, it is a fact that she deliberately attacked you, you are seriously hurt and your heart is traumatized. Insist on this point of view, then the girl will not be able to enter your 'door', even if her family takes the 'door' road of Lingzun Lingci, but everyone knows that Fei Gongzi has always made his own decisions, and no one can help you. ”

"This trick has been used, but it is useless, and he is 'forced' to die, saying that he is willing to serve me for the rest of his life to atone for his sins." Xiang Fei was so depressed that he didn't care about his image, and he shook Erlang's 'legs' without a sect, like a *** who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.

"What do you mean? If you don't nod, the girl will hang herself on the big 'door' of your house? The lintel of your big 'door' and 'door' is 'quite high', does she have such a high ladder? Miss Qianjin will be scared to climb such a high position, right? Do you want to send someone to take care of it? Xiangru ridiculed that she was addicted.

"What do you mean? You say let me stab them in a hurry? What if she actually hanged herself? ”

"Gather all the neighbors to come and see the excitement, you can provide a rope in friendship, and if she really wants to breathe, you will come out of the coffin, in the name of sympathy. By the way, you have to pay special attention to the way she knots the rope, there is a special 'door' hanging knot method, like the kind of just two simple cross knots, believe me, the knot is opened before the neck bone is broken. ”

"With such an oath, I don't think you want her to die."

"Believe me, people who really want to die won't make a fuss like this, and they still run to your house to make trouble for you, obviously trying to make you succumb to the public's saliva, so I firmly believe that this is her family's strategy and not really looking for death. They will take advantage of the people***, and so can you, why put up with passivity all the time, unless there is another reason. Xiangru paused, "The 'social' circles of the seven major families and their respective relatives and friends overlap with each other, and they must have found a 'door' that can contain you, so you have to worry a lot." ”

Xiang Fei was surprised, "Did you hear a rumor from the guest?" ”

"No, there is no news yet, and I don't know if you don't say it."

"You're right, give me a bad idea."

"I'm already a bad idea, and if you don't think it works, I guess you have a last resort? Businessmen are accustomed to doing things later. ”

"Of course there is a backhand, but that's the trick after people enter my 'door', and I wonder if there is a way to keep people out, and no one has ever been able to 'force' me to do what I don't want to do."

"I fully understand your emotions in this matter. In my opinion, anyway, the concubine enters the 'door' at your disposal, any tool has a competent problem, if it is not used well, it will be put away, if it is an eyesore, it will be sent away, can her mother's family still go to the 'door' to discuss the law, just a concubine, how can Fei Gongzi be so anxious? Deeply puzzled. ”

Xiang Fei seemed to be persuaded by Xiangru, his expression became cheerful again, and his limbs relaxed, "That's right, there's no need to be anxious at all, it's a big deal to use the last hand to deal with her, who can help me." ”

"May I ask more, what's the last hand?" Xiangru was curious about this.

Xiang Fei suddenly changed to a cold and serious expression, "My wife didn't enter the 'door', how could I let Mr. Concubine give birth to my child?" What kind of food does my family eat? Right? ”

Xiangru pursed her lips and looked away, "It's really a good trick." ”

Taking advantage of the convenience of the resources of the Xiang family, there is only one trick for the concubine to not be able to give birth to a child before the future wife, which is to pour 'medicine' and destroy the reproductive function of the 'woman'.

"That girl is so pathetic." Xiangru really sympathized with that silly girl at this time

Entering the 'Door'
