Chapter 39: The Festival of Lanterns

A month and a half ago, Yongchang Houfu was full of beheadings, shocking the government and the opposition, Yongchang Hou has been hiding a list of collaborators with the enemy and treason, and when his people went to find it, Gu Yinglone's people had taken the lead, and then they had been tracking, and after finding that the other party's destination was Beihai County, he came to Beihai County as an official of the exiled Su family.

"Yes!"

Came quietly, and left lightly.

Here, Su Xian had lunch at the flowing water banquet, she was in a beautiful mood, and she also ate a sweet wine brew, which was cold and cold, relieving the heat and refreshing, and very refreshing.

At this time, Mao Liang whispered a few words not far from Su Xian, and Su Xian nodded to indicate that she understood.

Before she discovered that the identity of the other party may not be as simple as an official errand, the natural nobility can be taken into the eyes of the mountains and mountains. Because of this, she knew that the other party would not stay for a long time, and what she said before was just polite words, so nervously cleaning up the blood stains he left behind, first, she really wanted to help him, and secondly, for the sake of their safety, Yifeng's martial arts were not weak, at least for her, the other party showed that it was not a top level, but also an upper middle level. Now, he is injured, the other party is either outnumbered, or the martial arts are higher than him, no matter which one it is, it is not something that these small civilians can afford, although the ink painting has martial arts, but it can punish and punish the hooligans in the market, not a person with strong martial arts. She didn't want to cause her medicinal food shop to close down before it opened because of the other party, which would be sad, sad, and stomach-wrenching.

As for why it hurts the stomach? This girl will turn her grief and anger into appetite, and if she holds on, won't it hurt her stomach?

"This is good, after the ice is added, you can put some crushed ice in it, it will be more refreshing."

Mao Liang said respectfully, "Yes." ”

Su Xian was very satisfied with this lunch, "This time it was a good job, I will reward a month's moon silver, and the flowing water seats in the four boxes on the third floor will also have to catch up with the schedule, as for the appearance, I will go back and draw the drawings and then give it to you, you will do the basic work first." "Those who can enter the third floor are either powerful or powerful, and the appearance of the flowing water seat must show the status and power of the guests more.

"Miss Xie's reward, the little one must do his best." Miss Fifth is a generous person, and she will not be inferior to her subordinates, as long as she is loyal to Miss and works hard to do things well, Miss will never treat him badly.

……

At the beginning of the unitary time

Compared with the morning, the area around the pier is much more lively in the afternoon, and the crowds are surging and lively.

"Is it a holiday today?" Su Xian looked at everyone in a hurry, pushing all kinds of gadgets in her hands.

Mo Qi replied, "Miss, today should be the Lantern Festival in Beihai County." ”

Su Xian suddenly said, "Did Miss Li ask the eldest sister last time and say that she was going to come to the Lantern Festival to play?" ”

The Miss Li in her mouth is Li Qi of the Li family. Li Qi and the third sister are of the same age, these days, the two have been coming and going frequently, and they have a feeling of knowing each other late, and now the two are also close friends.

Mo Qi recalled and said, "There is such a thing. ”

Su Xian nodded and asked, "There is still an hour before the end of the unitary time, right?" ”

Mo Qi replied, "Yes. ”

Su Xian nodded, "It seems that everyone has gone to the dock to grab the stalls, presumably Second Brother Li and Miss Li should have come early, let's go, let's take a look." "I don't know if the third sister is also here.

The Li family is in the pastry business, because Li Yu has a flexible brain and can speak, and coaxed the shopkeeper of several restaurants to talk about business, and the shopkeeper saw that several desserts were fresh, and he had never seen them before. Then the pastries made by Mrs. Li and Miss Li at home were sent directly to the restaurant every day, which would be much better than setting up a stall, besides, those are all desserts eaten by dignitaries and nobles in the capital, even if they are sold at the stall, most people can't afford it, and the rich can afford it, but they won't put down their bodies to eat. Therefore, Li Yu thought of such a way to take over the urgent needs of the Li family, and now, the Li family also has a stable income and small assets. If it weren't for Li Yu's aunt who had been bedridden and needed medication to maintain it, the Li family would have moved early.

The wharf is in the east of Beihai County, here is the border trade city, so the wharf is very long, the road width can roughly accommodate ten carriages in parallel, tea shops and restaurants are lined up, come here at this time, everyone is hanging lanterns, lotus flowers, rabbits, tigers, and sea fish, strange shapes, famous and unfamous, strange and strange, all dazzled.

The dock was full of people and lively, but Su Xian did not build the medicinal food workshop here. The reasons are, firstly, that the positioning of the medicinal food shop was originally those high-end customers who were powerful and wealthy; Second, the wharf actually belongs to the scope of Pingling Street, that is, the street where the poor live; Third, the salty and wet smell of the sea water at the wharf and the fishy smell of seafood are very strong, and people who often move around here will have a salty and wet taste. Just like Xu Yucheng, he often works in this area, and she can smell the strong smell of the sea on each other's body when they meet twice. For these three reasons, she would not have set the Medicinal Kitchen at the pier. It's the eldest uncle, who seems to be setting up a shop here at the dock, and I don't know what kind of business he wants to do.

"Miss, look, what kind of food is this, it's so beautiful." The sound of ink painting surprise came from one side.

Su Xian's eyes lit up when she heard the voice. The purpose is that it is round like a glass ball, but it is not the kind of hard, it looks very elastic, crystal clear, and there is a blooming hibiscus flower inside, which is beautiful and makes people reluctant to eat it.

Seeing this, the small vendor enthusiastically explained, "Miss must be a foreigner, this is a unique snack in Beihai County, called Shuixin Xuan Cake, you see, this is hibiscus, and jasmine, it is beautiful and delicious!" ”

Even Moqi, who doesn't smile on weekdays, was surprised.

Su Xian's face was indifferent, but her eyes shone with a dazzling light and looked at Mo Qi, Mo Qi was clear, stepped forward, and said to the vendor owner, "Boss, bring us a few." ”

Miss generally doesn't show the essence of a foodie in front of outsiders, she knows, but every time she sees Miss's appearance, she still can't help but want to laugh, and she can cute her with a bloody face.

Wrap the water Shin Xuan cake and boil it into thick brown sugar syrup and soybean flour, bite into it, the taste is refreshing and smooth, melts in the mouth, it is sweet at first, then there is a little bit of astringency and saltiness of flowers, and after swallowing, there is a faint fragrance of hibiscus flowers and the taste of plums in the mouth. Su Xian felt that if she could chill it with ice cubes for a while, it would definitely taste better.
