Chapter 10 I was tired of eating lotus cakes in my early years
"Hmph-" Gu Jiuhan replied that she only had one syllable.
Tao Zhishu directly brought a plate of lotus cakes to him, and said with a particularly sincere expression: "It's a foolish sister, I don't know how to be polite, and I neglected my sister and brother-in-law, I really know that I was wrong, good sister, I beg your forgiveness?" β
"Lotus cake?" Gu Jiuhan pretended to be surprised, then coughed a few more times, and said dryly: "Then this matter is over, I hope the foolish sister will not do it again." β
"As for this lotus cake-" Speaking of this, Gu Jiuhan pretended to be greedy again, staring straight at the plate of lotus cake, looking like he wanted to say something.
"Hehe, the taste of lotus crisp won't disappoint the foolish girl, maybe you'll have a surprise discovery!" Tao Zhishu hurriedly took over the conversation, and stuffed the lotus cake into the arms of Chunsheng, who was rushing to the car, and then rode his horse backwards.
"Family master, look at this lotus crispβ" Chunsheng was dumbfounded and handed the lotus crisp to Gu Jiuhan.
Gu Jiuhan changed his previous greedy appearance, and said with a light smile: "I will reward you and Shui Sheng for a taste." β
And then sat back in the carriage with the remaining four lotus crisp plates, handed it to Gong Yi and said, "Try it, if it's delicious, when you get to Fucheng, I'll go to the dim sum shop for you to buy." β
[The lotus cake is too sweet, I don't like to eat it, don't waste the silver. Gong Yi picked up a piece and took a bite, then frowned and gestured.
Gu Jiuhan also took a piece and tasted it, it was clearly a familiar taste, and the familiar taste buds of the original body could not enjoy it.
This lotus crisp is very good, sweet but not greasy, and it is the specialty of the chef who used to be a cook in the Gu family.
No wonder Tao Zhishu wanted to say that she would be pleasantly surprised.
Tsk, I bought her family's former cook, did she deliberately show off, and by the way, reminded her that her family is in the middle of the road, and now she is poor and poor?
If it was the original body, it was estimated that she would have low self-esteem in her heart, but now that it was Gu Jiuhan, she would only feel that this Tao Zhishu was really not a fuel-efficient lamp!
"Sweet but not greasy, are we Brother Yi worried that there is not enough silver? Don't worry, you just have to buy and buy, and I'll take care of all these things. β
"At the beginning, our Yi Ge'er didn't dislike my family for marrying in the middle of the road, so I definitely can't let our Yi Ge'er suffer."
Gu Jiuhan actually sincerely sympathized with Gong Yi, virtuous and gentle, and handsome, but he was originally mistaken for a pearl, and he had eyes but no beads, so he would fail him.
[Wife~] Gong Yi was so ashamed of Gu Jiuhan's sudden words that he couldn't do it, so he just buried his head in eating lotus cake and didn't dare to raise his head.
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, so cute.
I can't help but think of the cook who made lotus cake, when my father and mother were still alive, but the cook who spent a lot of money to hire her, it is reported that the cook is one of the disciples of the Golden Knife Imperial Chef.
What he is best at is making all kinds of dim sum, and the original body's favorite is lotus cake, and the cook came because of the high admiration given by the Gu family.
It's just that the Gu family has fallen, and those slaves have left, and this cook is the first to leave.
There is nothing wrong with the lotus cake this time, it should just be Tao Zhishu's temptation.
Sure enough, next, every other hour, Tao Zhishu would order someone to send Gu Jiuhan and them some food, and lotus cake was definitely a must-have.
For the free food, Gu Jiuhan received it all.
Gong Yi didn't want to go, so he also brought the food they brought and returned the salute.
Stopping to rest again, Tao Zhishu leaned over and asked Gu Jiuhan, "Sister Gu, what do you think of the lotus crisp?" β
Gu Jiuhan pretended not to know anything, and bowed his head slightly, "It's okay." β
Tao Zhishu, who had originally prepared a belly of words, was choked up, and he couldn't react for a long time, and finally said dryly: "Hehe, Sister Gu is really a glutton, and she has very high requirements for food!" β
In fact, I vomited to death in my heart.
It's just a broken settlement, do you still think it's Gu Jiuhan in the past?
What a head of garlic!
It's clearly the bride's craftsmanship, she doesn't believe it, Gu Jiuhan can't taste it?
Such a coy gesture, bah, if it weren't for her, she would still use her......
Hmph, wait!
With a flash in his eyes, Tao Zhishu still didn't want to give up, so he asked, "Good sister, don't you really have anything else to ask me?" β
"There really is." Gu Jiuhan nodded seriously and said.
Tao Zhishu was excited, and when she finally came, she said, Gu Jiuhan's love for lotus cake has spread all over the eight villages.
At the beginning, the two members of the Gu family did not hesitate to promise a reward of fifty taels of silver a year for this girl, and there were additional silver rewards and monthly examples every month.
During that time, I don't know how many cooks who were good at dim sum rushed to recommend themselves, and everyone in the noisy ten miles and eight villages knew it.
Sure enough, people can't be too ostentatious, no, the Gu family can't come back, the Gu family has paid off their debts, and they are destitute.
Even Gu Jiuhan, a proud person, had to succumb to fate and marry a mute husband.
But why is her life so good?
The husband is so beautiful, he is very virtuous, and she has no father and mother to rely on, but her eldest sister is developed.
The most important thing is that her homework has always been among the best, the same husband teaches, why can she lag behind Gu Jiuhan so much!
"Well, although the lotus cake tastes good, it is too expensive. You and I are not relatives, these three times to send such a precious heart, please forgive me for being ashamed. β
"What?!" Tao Zhishu almost couldn't hide his eyes.
She...... That's what she was trying to say?
Blind her expectations.
I thought I could take this opportunity to ridicule and hit Gu Jiuhan's self-esteem!
"Here are twenty taels of silver, only a lot more, and it should be the reward for Miss Tao's food and snacks today. As the saying goes, 'no merit is not punished', and please Miss Tao do not shirk. β
Gu Jiuhan directly stuffed the silver into Tao Zhishu's arms, and then said with a light smile: "Frankly speaking, I was tired of eating that lotus cake in my early years, so Miss Tao doesn't have to send it to me in the future." β
Tao Zhishu finally understood, and dared to show affection to Gu Jiuhan that the lotus cake was made by a bride hired by his family in the past, and he regained face here.
However, she said it first, which really embarrassed Tao Zhishu to death.
I had to make a haha, pretending to be rough and asking her: "Then, I don't know what Sister Gu likes to eat now?" β
"Just fill your stomach, our main task now is to take the imperial examination, one of those things outside the body still has appetite, there is really no need to be too persistent, good sister, what do you say?"
Gu Jiuhan dialed a thousand catties in four or two, and taught the person in front of him a lesson in a leisurely tone.
It can be said that Tao Zhishu tested her with lotus crisp and took a stinky move.
Trying to use lotus cake to evoke her past memories and thus hit her self-esteem failed.
"Yes, yes, it's a foolish sister, I'm too good-looking, thank you for mentioning it. If nothing else, I'll go back to the carriage first. Tao Zhishu almost ran away.
On the next road, Tao Zhishu didn't dare to be a demon again, and in the evening, the group finally rushed to the gate of Fucheng.
The guards guarding the city gate read their road guides and letters of recommendation, let them into the city, and specially and enthusiastically told them which inn was the most suitable for their Xiucai to stay in the exam.
"Sister Gu, my mother has already ordered the housekeeper to buy a courtyard in Fucheng, which is on the same street as Gongyuan, why don't you live with me?" When he arrived in Fucheng, Tao Zhishu felt confident and stood up again.
