Chapter 445: Invitation
Li Meirou was still talking back, and when she turned her eyes to see the flowers she brought, she really didn't have the spirit when she first came. Mrs. Feng loves flowers like her life, and if she is really injured and frozen, her aunt will tear her lightly.
Thinking like this, Li Meirou sat on pins and needles. I struggled for a long time in my heart, but in the end I didn't make it to the end of the banquet. casually found an excuse and left early. The gorgeous camellia was protected by her three layers inside and three layers outside, for fear of the slightest mistake.
Sending away the unsightly guys, Yu Xiaocao ate and drank at the banquet. The chefs of the Zhenguo Mansion have good skills, and for this flower fighting meeting, the Guogong Mansion has also invested a lot of money. In addition to meat dishes, all the vegetables are bought greenhouse vegetables, and the two tables of noodles are purchased, and there are no hundreds of taels to do it.
During the banquet, the county lord of Minglan sandwiched a fried crispy and delicious little green cabbage, and said: "In the past, when I wanted to eat fresh food in winter, I used to plant flowers in the greenhouse and make a little bit of vegetables. Not to mention eating openly, even on weekdays, it is difficult to see a plate of green dishes on the dinner table. The little bit planted in the greenhouse is not enough for the banquet and the New Year's Festival. Now, you can buy almost anything fresh you want. Even melons and fruits can be eaten in winter! ”
"Not really! Sister Xiaocao, how did you say that you have such a long brain, you can actually come up with a way to grow vegetables in a greenhouse! You're my savior!! Do you know? What I fear most is cabbage and radish, but in winter, in addition to all kinds of meat, there are only two kinds of vegetables. Eat it, the taste makes you want to vomit; If you don't eat it, your mouth will rot when you get angry. Well, now the greenhouse vegetables have rescued me! He Wanning ate a bite of oyster sauce lettuce, which was green and raw, which made people have an appetite at a glance.
Like their father-in-law's house, the family has a big business, and they can afford to eat evergreen vegetables. But there are many young ladies from the four-grade and five-grade families here, and their father and brother are on errand in the Qingshui Yamen, which is much more expensive than meat, and they don't eat it if they want to.
After the meal, the fruits are sweet watermelon, glutinous melon, and small tomatoes the size of pigeon eggs. This kind of small tomato is caused by genetic changes with the help of the spiritual power of the small mending stone. It's smaller, but it tastes better, and it's full of spiritual power than ordinary fruits and vegetables.
In order to avoid eating small tomatoes often, the spiritual power in them causes obvious changes in the human body, and very few small tomatoes are planted, most of them are reserved for their own consumption, and only a very small part is sold out. The price, ten taels of silver a catty, almost caused a scramble. Because it is a limited sale, each family can only buy one pound a day, and it can sell ten pounds a day, so it can only taste it.
For example, if the guests of the Zhenguo Mansion need to have dinner today, they will either queue up without sleep for several days, or they will help them queue up to buy. What the? If you want someone in the family, you can buy it a few more times, and once it is found out, it will be included in the blacklist of the vegetable and fruit store. Besides, there are so many powerful and wealthy businessmen in Beijing, how can a certain family be allowed to eat alone? In front of everyone's eyes, no one dares to cheat openly!
In the fruit bowl served, the cut watermelon and muskmelon accounted for the majority, and the small tomatoes were only enough for each lady. Everyone here is knowledgeable, and no one dares to slander the county lord of Minglan for being stingy, on the contrary, those who can use small tomatoes to entertain guests are really making enough face!
Those ladies who were born in poverty and whose official positions were not high, it was the first time to taste such a delicious "fruit", sweet with a faint sourness, a bite, the juice suddenly burst in the mouth, that feeling gave people an incomparable sense of satisfaction, which made people linger for a long time.
He Wanning finished eating a small tomato in two bites and looked at the remaining one on the plate. Except for Yu Xiaocao on the main table, everyone else took one of the tomatoes and tasted them carefully. Even the county lord of Minglan was reluctant to give this small tomato, which was finally eaten once, to carry forward the spirit of the owner and give it to the guests.
"Sister Xiaocao, don't you eat it?" He Wanning saw Xiaocao reach out to the fruit plate, took a piece of melon, chewed it slowly, rolled his eyes, pointed to the small tomato and asked with a smile.
Yu Xiaocao took in her demeanor, couldn't help but smile, and said in her heart: After all, she is a teenage girl, and she can't resist the temptation of deliciousness. Look at the ladies who took the small tomato in their hands and were reluctant to take a bite for a long time - who is the uninformed hillbilly?
"Sister He likes it, eat it for me!" These melons and fruits are all grown by themselves, can they be missing at home? He Wanning, this little girl, is straighter, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. Such a person, if he likes someone, can give his heart to others. Of course, if you don't like a person, you will show it on your face without reservation.
He Wanning waited for her words: "Then I'm welcome!" Hey hey ......"
"Look at your worthless appearance! The eldest princess has eaten less or drunk less? Shame on someone else's house! Yuan Xueyan knew her temperament, and scolded with a playful smile.
He Wanning Zhu Bajie ate ginseng fruit, ate the small tomato into his mouth, sighed, and said, "You still don't know, this thing has money and nowhere to buy it!" If you wait in line for three or five days at the fruit and vegetable store, you may not be able to buy back a pound! My grandmother is not very interested in other melons and fruits, but she has a soft spot for this little tomato. finally snatched back a catty, and most of them were filial to her old man. You say, can I snatch food from my grandmother, who has hurt me on the tip of my heart since I was a child? ”
"Who told you to slap your swollen face and be fat, and say that you don't like to eat?" Yuan Xueyan knew the reason, and while joking, she still agreed with her friend's actions.
He Wanning made a bitter face and said, "If I don't say that, my grandmother will definitely be reluctant to eat it, so she will save it for me!" My grandmother has hurt me for almost fifteen years, so why should I hurt her once? Poor me, every time my grandmother eats small tomatoes, I have to find an excuse to avoid them. lest she see me drooling. ”
People who pay attention to filial piety are not far behind! Yu Xiaocao felt that this friend was worth intersecting, but in front of so many people, she couldn't promise anything, so she just asked in a roundabout way: "What does Sister He do on weekdays?" ”
"But I read books, practiced swords, and occasionally went to the suburban racetrack to run a few laps. When my brothers went out hunting, they sometimes took me with them. He Wanning was not interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was taken like a tomboy by her brothers.
Yu Xiaocao pursed her lips and smiled, "I have a little red horse with good foot strength. If you're interested another day, let's go on a horseback ride together. On the hill near Huangzhuang, there are a lot of pheasants and hares, I can't shoot arrows, but I can put down a trap, catch prey and barbecue at the bottom of the mountain......"
Outing? It's winter, and it's not a good idea to have a cold day. However, He Wanning is not interested in the "outing", but the location of the outing - near Huangzhuang! What is the most famous thing about Huangzhuang now? Greenhouse vegetables! Next to the Zhuangzi of the King of Yangjun, there are more famous greenhouse melons and fruits!! It has her favorite little tomato in it......
These greenhouse vegetables, greenhouse vegetables and fruits, the sister of the Yu family is also half the master, right? She's a guest, and she can't be entertained with good food and drink? Maybe I'll be able to get some when I leave......
"Yes, yes! When are we going? Thinking of this, He Wanning was eager to try, and couldn't wait to get out of the Zhenguo Mansion and go to Huangzhuang immediately.
Seeing He Wanning's reaction, there was something he didn't understand, and immediately said, "Sister Yu, can't you favor one over the other, just invite her and not me?" ”
"It's really my honor to have the county lord invited. I'll post another day, inviting the county lord, Sister He and Sister Yuan to go on an outing together! Please enjoy it very much! "To be able to be friends with one of the best famous girls in Beijing, of course, I can't ask for it. Now, godmothers don't have to worry that she can't make friends.
Coming out of Zhenguo Gong, not long after the carriage left, He Chun whispered: "Miss, the king of Yangjun is in front, could it be that he is waiting for Miss you?" ”
Linglong glanced at her, and the smile on her face faded: "What about your rules?" Master's business, how can you talk too much? ”
He Chun lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Yes!" The slave knows her mistake, please punish the young lady!! ”
Yu Xiaocao glanced at Linglong, nodded, and said, "The penalty is three months, go back and reflect on it!" ”
"Yes!" He Chun secretly scolded himself in his heart, the master is merciful, it doesn't mean that the slave doesn't have to abide by his duty. She also won praise among the nobles for her handmade soap, and she was a little fluttering. In the future, we must remember this lesson and not let down the trust and promotion of the young lady.
"How? Will today's flower festival still go well? Zhu Junyang, who was riding on the wind, saw the familiar carriage coming, so he rode his horse to follow him, and the voice came through the window.
Yu Xiaocao lifted the curtain and looked at the demonic man outside in a black embroidered bamboo brocade robe. The pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be able to seduce the soul looked in his direction with a deep and faint wave. The slightly raised corners of the eyes add a bit of sultry style. The red lips pursed lightly, and at this moment, it seemed that the ice and snow melted, and the earth was in spring. What a living demon! Seeing the big girl and little daughter-in-law on the street, her face was red, and her eyes were staring at this guy, Yu Xiaocao sighed in her heart.
"What's wrong? Bullied? Who is it? Tell me about it! Zhu Jun Yangjun's face was suddenly covered with frost, and a murderous aura lingered around him.
Yu Xiaocao shook his head honestly and said, "You think too much, no one bullies me!" This flower meeting was quite successful, and the flowers brought by everyone belonged to famous products. However, in terms of preciousness, it naturally can't catch up with my 'Suguan Heding'. Won a lot of lottery today, the seeer has a share, how about sharing half of you? ”
"You little girls' stuff is not uncommon!" Seeing that the little girl did not show a strange look on her face, Zhu Junyang's heart was half relieved. The other half, after he inquires, let's talk about it!
