Chapter 25: Comparison

Mao Xiang finally met the legendary and famous Dong Xiaowan.

Mixed in the crowd, he first took a closer look, and saw that the slightly immature and tender little woman in front of him was dressed in light clothes and light makeup, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and her temperament was really very different from that of ordinary women.

It really lives up to its name!

Mao Xiang was a little unable to hold back, and hurriedly followed everyone forward to salute: "In Xia Maoxiang, I have admired Miss Dong's name for a long time, and I came to see you before." ”

Dong Xiaowan was shocked.

Although she was looking forward to appearing, she really didn't expect that today's dream would really come true.

The famous impostor is really here!

She has long heard that among the four sons of the Restoration Society, Mao Xiang is the most talented, and his poetry and literary talent ranks first among the four sons.

She didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute: "I have heard the name of the young man for a long time, and I have admired it for a long time!"

Oh?

Have you really admired me for a long time?

Mao Xiang was still looking at her seriously.

He found that Dong Xiaowan really showed a happy look on his face, which didn't look like a fake.

This can naturally be seen by the presumptuous people who often mingle with the group of scholars of the Restoration Society.

This couldn't help but put him in a good mood.

came for the beauty, but was able to immediately win the favor of the beauty, which naturally made Mao Xiang feel very beautiful, but he said politely: "Ashamed, ashamed, it's just a little false name, Miss Dong doesn't have to take it seriously." ”

This is the etiquette that a family member should show.

It's just that in this way, these two people have left the others out in the cold, Fang Yizhi interjected: "Mao Xiang, Miss Dong, the two of you will admire each other again in a while, hurry up and sit down first, I can't wait to taste the famous Xiaowan buns." ”

These words immediately attracted Dong Xiaowan's attention.

After Xiaowan's steamed buns were ready, she went to the painting boat, and she basically didn't know anything about the subsequent situation, and she was also paying attention to the sales of steamed buns at this time.

"The famous Xiaowan buns, what did Fang Gongzi say?"

"Hey, didn't you say that Xiaowan buns were made by you?

"I did it!"

"Oh, it seems, you don't know that your buns have been sold out, right? I ordered two cages of crystal buns, but I didn't grab any of them, but fortunately, the kitchen reserved a cage for your painting boat, and the little guy helped me grab a cage of soup dumplings, so I didn't regret it!"

Dong Xiaowan immediately pursed her lips and smiled.

It's definitely a real joy for her.

Xiaowan buns can be so popular, which undoubtedly gives her a lot of extra income, so that her wish to leave Qin Lou as soon as possible is expected to come true.

She calculated a little, tonight fifty cages of soup dumplings, eight dollars per cage, fifty cages is forty taels, plus ten cages of crystal packets fifteen taels, a total of fifty-five taels, Qin Lou deducted half, there are also more than twenty taels, and then distribute half to Derpy......

Oh my God, she earned at least ten taels a night, which was more than she got for her performances.

Derpy is amazing!

She remembers that Derpy also said that if business is good, she can increase the amount appropriately in the future and launch more expensive crystal shrimp buns......

Wouldn't I get more of that?

If this continues, won't I be able to pay off my family's debts in three or four months and get out of the sea of misery?

Dong Xiaowan couldn't help laughing.

It's just that when she smiled like this, she immediately fascinated Mao Xiang.

I saw that although she didn't apply fat powder, her cheeks were crimson, her long black hair was coiled on her head, revealing her long neck, and her half-squinted eyes were smiling at this time, and under the shadow of the light and candles, the long and curled eyelashes were projected on her face, which looked really charming.

is so cute, if only I could marry home and be a concubine!

Mao Xiang actually started to think like this.

"Miss Dong, what's wrong?"

Fang Yizhi's words interrupted Dong Xiaowan's reverie.

Dong Xiaowan came back to her senses at this time.

No wonder Derpy is often in a daze, it turns out that he is thinking about problems.

She looked at Fang Yizhi and then at Mao Xiang, and couldn't help but compare Ivan with them.

In terms of learning, Derpy doesn't seem to be worse than them.

In terms of appearance, although Derpy is dressed shabby, he is not inferior to them in temperament, and his appearance is even more handsome.

Unfortunately, Derpy doesn't seem to like Bard against it.

What did he say?

Useless to be a scholar?

He also said that scholars can't fight when they go into battle, they can't work in the fields, they don't work hard, they don't divide their grains, and they have to go to the land of fireworks at every turn to waste money......

No wonder he doesn't want to admit that he's a reader!

Now it seems that although Fang Gongzi and Mao Gongzi have both talents and family backgrounds, they really like to haunt fireworks too much.

Because Ivan helped her solve a big problem, and because of a preconceived relationship, Dong Xiaowan at this time felt that Ivan was commendable.

As soon as everyone sat down, the servants immediately began to serve the food.

They used food boxes to bring exquisite dishes from the back kitchen one by one.

According to the habit of the boat, the boat will always dock at the pier, and after the guests have eaten and drunk, they will row to the center of the river and start chanting poems, playing the piano and listening to music.

The first delicacy to be delivered is precisely Xiaowan buns, Xiaowan soup dumplings and Xiaowan crystal buns.

As soon as the food box was opened and the two plates of steamed buns were served, everyone was immediately stunned.

Including Dong Xiaowan.

This appearance was really a bit of a surprise to him.

As she had expected, it would be nice to have this bun served on a delicate small plate.

But not now.

I saw that on the exquisite small plate, a few vegetable leaves with unique shapes were first arranged in an orderly manner, and soup dumplings were placed on them.

Under the illumination of the light, the white of the plate, the green of the vegetable leaves, and the white oily hair of the buns are reflected and formed, like a beautiful work of art.

Especially the crystal bag, the center of the plate is also dotted with a small orange-red flower, which looks more like a painting.

Dong Xiaowan was also stunned.

She knew that this must have been done by Ivan, who had already given her too many surprises today.

Derpy isn't a kitchen boy!

Such a beautiful shape, without a certain artistic foundation, will never be able to get it!

Derpy, how many surprises are you going to give me?

What she didn't know was that Ivan was not a master of art, but that beautifying dishes was one of the essential skills of a lotus chef.

In the back kitchen of a five-star hotel, the decoration requirements for delicacies are not necessarily lower than those of ancient palaces.

It's just that Dong Xiaowan doesn't know.

"It's so beautiful, it's so tempting! No wonder it's so expensive and so popular! It's just Miss Dong, you make it so exquisite, how can I bear to do it?"

Fang Yizhi expressed his sincere admiration.

"Miss Dong, is this really what you did?"

It's hard to believe.

He had long heard that Dong Xiaowan was as beautiful as a flower, talented and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the two beautiful buns in front of him still made him feel unbelievable.

"Oh, I made the bun myself, but the decoration is someone else. ”

Dong Xiaowan's face flushed, and she didn't dare to take credit.

She couldn't help but wonder, what is Derpy doing now?

Xiao Wan's buns are selling well, is he as happy as me?
