Chapter 26: A Ray of Light
The two stood silently for a while, and suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps outside the yard, Xiaohuan hurriedly wiped his tears, took scissors, covered up and continued to cut the juhua flowers, raised his eyes gently, and saw Zhao Yan who walked in from outside the courtyard was surrounded by Yaqin and Shulan, the two maids, so he had to salute her and say hello.
"Why are the girls coming back today, and the flowers for the vase haven't been prepared yet?" Yaqin glanced at Xiaohuan unhappily, and suddenly found that her expression was wrong, and immediately raised her voice: "Are you crying?" Did the girl beat you or scold you? What do you cry early in the morning? Bad luck! ”
Xiaohuan lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing that Yaqin didn't seem to give up, Gentle hurriedly covered up for Xiaohuan: "She just cleaned up the flowers and trees, and she didn't pay attention to strangling a caterpillar, she was scared and cried, I'm here to persuade her." ”
"Let's go." Zhao Yan didn't care, brushed his skirt, and walked into the house.
"Look at your guts!" Yaqin believed the gentle words, didn't think much about it, and as Zhao Yan took two steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Wash your hands carefully in a while, and then take flowers to insert the bottle, caterpillar...... It's disgusting to think about! ”
Seeing them walking away, he gently patted Xiaohuan's shoulder and said, "Don't think about sadness, let's work first." After speaking, she also followed up the house and wanted to prepare tea for Zhao Yan.
Just when she gently placed the preserved fruit snacks in the box, Xiaohuan came in with a few dragon claw chrysanthemums, she carefully inserted the flowers into the colorful flower and bird pattern bottle on the desk, and was ready to take out the residual flowers that had been replaced, but before she stepped out of the threshold, she heard Zhao Yan call her and said: "This flower is blooming well today, you send some to the old lady." ”
Xiaohuan agreed to leave, and Zhao Yan continued: "Wait, Ruhua, you take the apricot honey cake you made yesterday, take some and let Xiaohuan take some to Madame, she loves sweets." ”
Gentle didn't expect Zhao Yan to actually think of this stubble, so she couldn't do it: "That cake has not been put aside for a long time, I don't dare to make more, if I want to, I have to make it fresh." ”
"Then let Xiaohuan wait, and let her bring it over when you're ready." Zhao Yan said, turned her head and asked Shulan to take out her piano and ignore the two of them again.
Wen Rou and Xiaohuan agreed, and walked out of the house together, and the two looked at each other for a while, and both smiled softly. Gently walked to the pantry before he said: "It's all my fault, it's okay to find yourself awkward, what kind of cake to make!" Speaking of which, her current conditions are simple, there is no oven, the cake can only be made by steaming, fortunately, although the taste is different, but the general taste is still eight or nine, but the cream in this place is not easy to get, she can only add some other ingredients to the cake to decorate, better than nothing.
Seeing that she was busy while complaining, Xiaohuan couldn't help laughing: "Actually, sister, I really envy you." ”
"Envy me?" What is there to envy, sigh gently, aren't they all the same in the same life!
"You can cook a lot of food, my mother can't do it, and I haven't seen anyone else." Xiaohuan found a bench and sat down, holding his cheeks and said thoughtfully: "It would be good if you were a man, the restaurant outside designated to rush you as a person, I heard that those skilled cooks are not allowed to be seen when cooking, for fear that their housekeeping skills will be learned, so it can be seen that they can cook a few dishes that ordinary people can't do, how rare it is." ”
"Huh?" Hearing her say this, she seemed to have something vaguely in her mind, but when she thought about it, she really couldn't think of a reason, so she unconsciously stopped her hand that was beating the egg whites, and stood there in a trance.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her in a daze, Xiaohuan reached out and nudged her twice in surprise.
Wen Wen came back to her senses and hurriedly urged her: "You repeat what you just said." ”
"What words? It's okay to say you're a man? ”
"No, it's not this, it's the next paragraph."
Xiaohuan repeated the whole paragraph again in wonder, and saw Wen Rou standing there listening carefully, suddenly jumped up, patted her shoulder vigorously and cheered: "I thought of it! Thought of it! ”
Seeing this, Xiaohuan hurriedly made a silent gesture to her, rubbed his painful shoulder with a bitter face and said, "What did you think of?" Surprise me! ”
"I—I want to—earn—make money—do—method—" gently lowered his voice and squeezed the words out one by one from between his teeth.
Seeing that she said so mysteriously, Xiaohuan was aroused, leaned forward, leaned over and asked, "What way?" ”
"Sell-eat-order-" The gentle voice lowered, and the words slowly jumped out of her mouth.
"Sell the order?" Xiaohuan straightened up, frowned, and said, "Does anyone buy it?" Besides, we can't get out of the house! ”
"Hey, don't splash me with cold water!" Gently nudged Xiaohuan, and said frustratedly: "If it is as you just said, it is rare to know a few dishes that ordinary people can't do, then my food list will definitely sell, but ...... We really can't get out of the house......"
"That's right!" Xiaohuan pouted helplessly and said: "If you can write, you can still ask someone to sell it, if it is an oral tradition, remember what ingredients or ingredients are divided, the taste will be much worse!" ”
"Write!" Gentle and excited, blinked vigorously and said, "I will!" But as soon as she finished speaking, she remembered that what she could write was only simplified characters, and it was estimated that no one here could understand it, let alone what a brush was! That's an old antique! At least she, an intellectual woman of the new era, can't write with a brush! Besides, since she learned to use the computer, she rarely even writes, and the extremely scribbled "warm characters" are sometimes incomprehensible to herself, so don't expect any genius here to recognize them. Seriously, she is actually similar to illiterate.
It's Xiaohuan, at first glance, when I heard that Wen Wen can write, he was about to catch up with Zhang Fei, his mouth opened wide, and he popped out for a long time, "Really?" ”
"Fake ......" said with a gentle and bitter face: "Coax you, I won't." ”
"I'll just say it!" Xiaohuan stretched out his index finger in a big way, stood on tiptoe slightly and pushed heavily on the gentle forehead and said, "How can people of our status be able to write!" It's nice to be able to recognize your name! ”
"Alas—" Gentle sighed, empty joy! She picked up the bowl again and continued to beat the egg whites. But in the end, I didn't give up, and I was still wondering in my heart, should I wait for the flowery mother to come back to get the money, desperately let her carry the food list, and then go out to sell it?
No! No way!
Soon she denied this idea, Ruhua's mother looks cowardly, even if she can be asked to memorize the food list, it is estimated that she has nothing to afford to sell, maybe she will be coaxed and intimidated by some unscrupulous restaurant shopkeeper, she will sell the food list for three dollars and two dollars! This will not work! She is now pointing to these food lists in her mind and rushing to a new life of prosperity and well-off! What's more, the money was sent the day before yesterday, it was calculated according to the previous month, at that time she was still a rough maid, and she only got a hundred yuan, she bought some necessities for life, and spent thirty yuan, and now all the money in the whole body is added up, a total of one hundred and twenty-five yuan, not enough for the Wen family to eat for three days, waiting for the mother of the flower to slowly memorize the food list, and then slowly sell the food list, it is estimated that three more Wen Gang were starved to death by her!
