Chapter 627: This Master Is Too Reliable!
In the reward brought back by the good news just now, there is a four-fold kang screen is very good, it is a double-sided embroidery of tribute from the south, one side is five blessings to hold longevity, and the other side is green mountains and green waters, which is very exquisite.
Jiayin originally wanted to put it on the grandmother's kang, but the old lady borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha and took it out as a birthday gift.
First, there was only one cake at home, some of which were too simple.
Second, this is also one of the few moments when the Li family shows up in Xindu, so it is not good to let others laugh at it.
The meaning of this kang screen is just right, from the palace, no one can find fault, and it can show the royal family's favor for the Li family.
Jiayin pouted, and when Mrs. Li saw it, she guessed that her granddaughter was reluctant, so she hugged her and smiled, "Our little money fan is in pain again?" Wait for grandma to tell your uncle, if you meet a good one in the future, you will buy another one and come back to compensate you. ”
"Not really!" Jiayin leaned on her grandmother's arms and coquettishly, "This is what I left for my grandmother, and all good things must be given to grandma." To outsiders, I feel distressed! ”
Mrs. Li listened warmly, pinched her granddaughter's fat face, and responded, "My family is the most filial, grandma knows, then let's change it." Your uncle brought back a lot of good wood from the south, so you might as well choose a piece for your birthday. ”
Jiayin hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I'll send the kang screen this time, and I'll change it for a better one for my grandmother in the future."
"The wood must be kept, and if Grandpa Zhang knows about it, I will be unlucky! Grandpa Zhang must let me memorize medical books until I am eighty years old! ”
Everyone laughed.
This time, the family's fleet came back from the south and brought a lot of good wood, all of which were carefully selected by Li Zhensheng.
The southern side has a humid and hot climate, which is suitable for the growth of trees, and there are also people from nearby countries who sell wood from their hometowns.
Li Zhensheng found an opportunity, bought a lot at one time, and transported it back by water, and wasted a lot of energy on the way.
The uncles and nephews almost didn't catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is also this reason.
Most of these timbers were used to build the Earl's Mansion and the County Lord's Mansion, and the rest was divided among the old people in the family.
Mrs. Li, Doctor Zhang, the village elder, Uncle Zhao, and even Mrs. Liu all ran over to grab a piece when they heard about it.
There is no other reason, they all have to make longevity materials.
What happened after death is what the elderly people are most worried about.
A good coffin can make them feel at ease, and they are not so afraid of old age and death.
Although Li Zhensheng promised to bring back more in the future, the old people still looked at the remaining pieces of the family like eyeballs.
They waited for the Earl's Court and the Lord's Mansion to be built, and the carpenters were free, and began to build their "home" after death.
At this time, the wood is moving, and Jiayin, the group pet, will definitely become a meatloaf in seconds......
After dinner on the second day, the people dressed themselves and set out.
Tao Hongying brought good news, and Mama He and Shui Ling followed to serve.
Because Mrs. Wen was pregnant, in addition to Sister-in-law Qiong, she also brought an extra Mama Tian.
Mrs. Li and Wen Juan were at home and did not follow.
After all, it was the first time to walk around with the Jia family, and they were not close enough to go to the point where the whole family went to celebrate their birthday together.
And Mrs. Li is a first-class fate, two levels higher than today's old birthday star, if it is in the past, it will be noisy.
There is also Wen Juan, although she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family's third room, but her wife is expensive to her husband, and Jia Huan has no meritorious title, so such a party will not be taken seriously if she goes.
And she is still pregnant, and her belly is big, and the family has to keep it in mind......
A birthday celebration, looking casual, in fact, there are a lot of people in it.
Sitting in the carriage, Tao Hongying wanted to understand the twists and turns, unconsciously and quietly straightened her back, and secretly pondered that she wanted to slowly find a few talented apprentices and hand over the private dishes.
Now that the family is having a better life, there is no shortage of the little money she earns.
On the contrary, she is going to start as the wife of a four-rank general, the mother of the county lord, and go out to socialize.
can't disgrace her husband and daughter because she is a cook.
As for interest, she can concentrate on thinking about new dishes, and then let the restaurant launch it.
The few cookbooks that the girl gave her were enough for her to spend a few years.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that as long as you have a girl by your side, it is not a problem......
She couldn't help but look at the fat girl who was chattering and laughing with Mrs. Wen opposite, her eyes full of love and pride.
Jia Yin was talking about the business of the dim sum shop, and suddenly the old lady looked at her heart, and her first thought was......
She doesn't seem to have been in trouble in the past two days, huh?
The carriage kicked all the way into the city, and turned directly to the dim sum shop.
When I got up in the morning, the shop received the news.
I heard that the master was going to a birthday banquet and planned to bring a birthday cake as a congratulatory gift.
Chen Xi and Shopkeeper Peng were excited,
Before it opened, the master began to solicit business.
This master is too reliable!
You know, this is the first time that a birthday cake has really appeared in front of the world.
Chen Xi simply tried his best, baking cake blanks, whipping cream, and decorating flowers, almost all of which he did by himself.
By the time Jiayin and the others arrived, the cake was ready.
A two-foot diameter double-layer cake, the upper layer is the birthday star's birthday peach, and the lower layer is full of flowers.
The birthday star is vividly painted, and the wrinkles of the clothes and the traces of the beard are clear, and the longevity peach in his hand is white and bright, which is the same as the real peach.
The flowers on the lower floor are full of different colors, purple and red, so lively.
This is definitely the style that the elderly like, festive and good.
Jiayin saw it, and praised it a few words, and the happy Chen Xi and Peng shopkeepers smiled.
When the cake is made, it is placed on a large white porcelain plate.
Take another special wooden box, put the cake in from the side, twist the buckle, tie the ribbon and decorate the flowers, and you're done.
Jiayin thought about it, and asked Shopkeeper Peng to pack some snacks and four small cakes for her.
After picking up properly, it was already three poles outside, and everyone rushed to Jia's house.
The second lady of the Jia family was greeting guests at the Hanging Flower Gate, and finally looked forward to the arrival of Mrs. Wen and the Li family, but she was so happy that she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"Oh, Jinrou, you're here. If I don't come again, my neck will be stretched! She is a fast-talking person, and she is full of smiles, not to mention Mrs. Wen, even Tao Hongying is a little less nervous.
Mrs. Wen pulled her hand and introduced her to Tao Hongying and Jiayin.
Tao Hongying is still gone, but Jiayin, the county lord, is too valuable.
Second Mrs. Jia wanted to make a big salute, but was stopped by Tao Hongying, and said with a smile, "She is a little child, and she is here to congratulate the old lady today, and she is full of joy." The second lady should not be polite, just treat her as an ordinary junior. ”
Jiayin also smiled sweetly and saluted, and shouted, "Second lady is fine." ”
"Hey, hey, the county lord has tormented the courtiers, hurry up and please come inside." Second Mrs. Jia felt the easy-going nature of the Li family, and she simply smiled like a flower.
She was worried all night, afraid that the new member of the Li family, who was moving around for the first time, would be difficult to get along with.
