Chapter 166: Song Yuanbao Treats Guests
After going home for a day, Song Yao began to prepare for a congratulatory gift to the Queen Mother.
As for Song Yuanbao's treat, he naturally left it to him to do it himself, and with the help of the red sleeves, he was not afraid of losing his manners.
After all, there are only three pieces of rice paper, in order not to make mistakes, Song Yao chose to use ordinary rice paper to copy a pair first, at least there should be a general direction.
After all, it is to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, and there is no room for a little difference, Song Yao is still very cautious.
It took a day for Song Yao to decide what to draw, and naturally she also thought of the poem to be inscribed.
Song Yao was busy in the study for a day, finalized the general direction, and waited for the official start of construction tomorrow.
Among the things that the queen brought back to Song Yao, there were a lot of colored dyes, and the meaning was very obvious, she didn't want black and white ink paintings.
The effect of ancient paintings will be better if they first outline the general figure, and then the color will be adjusted.
"Mother, come and eat." As soon as Song Yao went out, she was bumped into her arms by Song Yuanbao.
Pinching Song Yuanbao's face vigorously, Song Yao chuckled and said, "Smash, it's time for you to lose weight." If you get so fat again, you will become a circle. In the future, when your mother sees you, you have to take a detour, otherwise you have to knock your mother away. ”
"My mother is bad, ingots are blessed, so they are not very fat." Song Yuanbao said with a wrinkled nose.
"Really? I don't look like the boy in the painting, otherwise you can make materials for your mother, and draw the fairy child in your image, which will save a lot of trouble. Holding Song Yuanbao's hand, Song Yao smiled.
"Don't!" Song Yuanbao shook his head decisively and refused, "Yuanbao doesn't let others look at it every day!" The ingots belong to the mother, and if the mother paints the ingots, she can only give the painting to the ingots. ”
"Don't you really want to see the Emperor? If your mother draws you into a painting, the emperor will be able to see you. Song Yao smiled and asked, "Why are you unhappy?" ”
"I'm just a little curious about what the emperor looks like, whether it's different from ordinary people as it says in the story." Song Yuanbao pouted and said, "Mother, let's go to dinner." Yuanbao's stomach was about to be hungry, and after a day of kung fu, everything he ate at noon was digested. ”
"In the future, if your mother is busy, you will eat first, and you don't have to wait for your mother." Song Yao felt sorry for her son and admonished.
"No, when my mother is at home, Yuanbao must wait for my mother to eat together, otherwise my mother will be hungry." Song Yuanbao shook his head.
Mother and son talked and walked towards the dining room.
The secret guards in the shadows couldn't help wiping their sweat, these two masters were really bold.
Even if it's in your own home, you can't just talk about it!
Especially when the mother and son talk about the emperor, they don't mean any respect at all, just like talking about a stranger, which is disrespectful.
Of course, the dark guard only dared to think about it in his heart, but he didn't dare to come forward to warn him.
With these secret guards here, if they are still allowed to make a fuss about this matter, they can go back to the furnace and rebuild.
Time flickered, and it was the day of Song Yuanbao's banquet.
After practicing early in the morning, Song Yuanbao hurriedly went back to the room to wash and change into a long shirt, which looked a little like a primary school.
As for Qinghai, a martial artist, he was sent by Song Yuanbao to make roast duck.
No way, when he first learned to make roast duck, no one had the energy to come to Qinghai, and he really did the best, even better than Song Yao's mastery of the heat.
As for the Red Sleeves and the Lovely People, they are responsible for helping to receive guests.
Kexin went to the back kitchen to arrange snacks and dishes for entertaining guests, which was naturally not launched by the restaurant, and it could be regarded as using the mouths of these little masters to promote the restaurant in advance.
Not to mention anything else, these little young masters think it is delicious, and their families will go to the restaurant to cheer.
What's more, now that you can taste the food in Song's Sister-in-law's Restaurant in advance, it is a status symbol, and these little masters will go out to show off, and business will be good.
"Young master, your hair hasn't been combed yet." Yinzi saw that Song Yuanbao was about to go out when he was dressed, and hurriedly shouted.
In the past few days, Yinzi has worked extra hard when he practiced martial arts, although he was a little later than Song Yuanbao, but he had a posture that surpassed Song Yuanbao.
After all, Yinzi is a few years older, and with hatred on his back, he has always been more serious than Song Yuanbao in the matter of practicing.
However, the act of silver aroused Song Yuanbao's interest in practicing martial arts, and the two usually learned from each other, protecting and supervising each other.
If it weren't for the guests coming today, they would have had to take a few more tricks before they rested.
But Yinzi is a subordinate after all, so what to do on weekdays is still based on Song Yuanbao's will and arrangement, and he can only get up early and go to bed late to practice.
Even so, Yinzi could only have a draw with Song Yuanbao, and still couldn't win Song Yuanbao, maybe this is because of his talent.
The two have been together for more than a year, nominally master and servant, but the relationship is ironclad.
When Song Yuanbao heard this, he hurriedly shouted to Yinzi: "Brother Yinzi, you should hurry up and go back to the room to change your clothes, I was sweating from practicing just now, and I don't need you to serve here." ”
"Okay." Seeing Red Sleeves coming in the door, Silver nodded and left.
"Little master, sit down, the slave will help you comb your hair." Red Sleeves heard the words of the silver at the door, and said so when he entered the house.
During those days in Jiangnan, when Song Yao was not free, he helped Song Yuanbao comb his hair with red sleeves, which was also the most in line with Song Yuanbao's heart.
Red Sleeves' dexterity, although it is just an ordinary scholarly family, but when her mother was still alive, she taught Red Sleeves a lot of things, and invited someone to teach Red Sleeves, just because she was afraid that if she was drafted into the palace, she would not rely on it in the future, but she would not be able to do anything.
You must know that when show girls enter the palace, not all have the opportunity to be the emperor's concubine, and many of them are palace maids.
But show girls have more opportunities to be female officials than ordinary palace maids, and they may also become the emperor's women at any time.
Not to mention the red sleeves to comb Song Yuanbao's hair, and said that Song Yuanbao's little guests came together and brought gifts for the first time.
Although everyone is a child, they are all children of official eunuchs, and they have a lot of precious things in their hands.
The first time I came to a friend's house, I inevitably wanted to send a heart.
Most of them are fun gadgets, not necessarily expensive, but they can be used.
Song Yuanbao has a lot of toys at home, Helian Sheng and Yun Zhongxiao have sent people to prepare for him, each time they buy one or two boxes, plus Song Yao buys them, and some people who come and go, in fact, Song Yuanbao's toys are more complete than these little masters.
But the person who came was a guest, and the most important thing was a heart, Song Yuanbao accepted it happily, and showed that he liked it very much.
Song Yuanbao forgot to say that Song Yao was at home, and a group of half-grown children were having a lot of fun in Song Mansion, unscrupulously naughty.
It wasn't until Keren arranged for lunch that the group of half-grown children found that they had finished most of the day and were already hungry.
"Yuanbao, is this what you mean by roast duck?" Cui Jincheng looked at the thinly sliced roast duck, picked up a piece and tasted it, and praised: "This roast duck smells fragrant, and it tastes even more fragrant. ”
In order not to let everyone be restrained, after the group of young masters sat down, they retreated, and they could still hear praise at the door.
"Let's take turns guarding here, and the others will go to the next room to eat something first." Red Sleeves lowered his voice and said, "I'll stand on the first post first, and you guys will eat first." ”
"I'm still with Sister Redsleeve." Keren smiled and glanced at Qinghai and Kexin.
Although these two people didn't flirt with each other, they were embarrassed to go to dinner alone with them.
"That's right, as soon as the two of us are on duty, in case someone goes to do something, there will be someone waiting here." Redsleeves chuckled, "You two have been busy in the kitchen for so long, go wash and change your clothes first, and then come back to change us after lunch." ”
"Sister Red Sleeves, what are you talking about? Who wants to change clothes with him! Ke Xin blushed and glared at Qinghai, suggesting that he restrained a little.
Qinghai hehe smirked, he was completely a silly boy in love, and he wished he could change clothes with Kexin openly.
But that has to be after getting married, not yet.
"It's my sister who said the wrong thing, the two of you went back to the house to change your clothes, and you were hungry after a busy morning, right? We'll come back when you're full, we've both had a snack, so we're not hungry. Red Sleeves said with a straight face, as if it wasn't her who teased Kexin just now.
"Sister!" Kexin stomped her foot and ran away with her head down.
Qinghai hurriedly chased after him and ran out a few steps away before he dared to call Kexin's name.
Even though Song Yao acquiesced to them being together, all the little masters in the room couldn't let them hear things they shouldn't hear.
Besides, if those little guests go home and say something, people think that the Song Mansion has no rules and ruin the reputation of the master, but it is their sin.
"Sister Redsleeves, I didn't expect you to wilt, but I won't be able to catch you in the future." But the man covered his mouth and smiled.
When the red sleeves changed their words just now, the smile in their eyes could make people blush, but she was afraid that she would be embarrassed to appear again.
"Then don't move your mind about getting married, otherwise I won't make fun of you, and Kexin won't let you go." Red Sleeves was very sincere.
But the person's face was red, but his eyes were a little gloomy.
Seeing this, Red Sleeves didn't laugh anymore, they are all people with stories, and the matter of marrying is too far away.
Looking at the back of Kexin who was about to walk out of the courtyard, Red Sleeves suddenly felt a little envious, envious that although Kexin was sold as a subordinate, she was still so carefree and could have happiness.
Although all this is related to Song Yao, a good master, he has not encountered too many twists and turns in the past ten years, at least he has not experienced those dirty things.
The two people at the door were pretending to be in trouble, but the few little guys in the house were eating and drinking happily, and they didn't notice the situation outside.
"So this roast duck is eaten like this! It's the first time I've heard of it, and it's really much better than eating it just now. Cui Jincheng was more interested in the roast duck rolled in crepes, but ignored the other dishes.
"If you are thirsty, you can drink some of this duck soup! My mother said that duck meat can relieve fatigue, and this duck soup is boiled from the bones of roast duck, and the taste is different from other duck soups. Song Yuanbao said like a little adult.
As a host, it's natural to be happy to be able to satisfy your guests.
Moreover, the roast duck of the Song Mansion has already captured the hearts of several friends, which makes Song Yuanbao even more proud, and he has a feeling that he can show off to his heart's content.
Cui Jincheng and others also tasted the duck soup, and they all felt that it tasted good, light and with the fragrance of roast duck.
"When you come back when you are free, I can also invite you to eat barbecue, let the next person prepare the barbecue utensils, and let's roast and eat it ourselves, then it is called fragrant."
After Song Yuanbao finished speaking, he shook his head again and said:
"Forget it, it's more interesting to eat barbecue or go to the wild, but we can eat hot pot, the pot base made by my mother is a must, and the restaurant hasn't launched it for the time being."
Song Yuanbao has always liked to make money, and in front of his friends, he doesn't mind selling in advance.
Anyway, Song Yao intended to open a hot pot restaurant and a roast duck restaurant, but she was too busy before, and then Helian Sheng was poisoned again, so the matter was postponed indefinitely.
