Volume 1 Nandu: Prosperity in the Last Days Chapter 71 Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the atmosphere of the festival is gradually thickening, the parties are gradually increasing, and the girls in the old courtyard are also busy, they are like butterflies picking flowers interspersed with it, adding a strong charming atmosphere to the festival.

However, these laughter and laughter could not change Tian Yang's depressed mood, and two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he said goodbye to Ma Shiying and left Nanjing with a sullen stomach. Before leaving, he called Mao Shibai into the study again and asked him to take good care of Li Zhenli, and he must not show mercy to his subordinates. Poor Mrs. Li, who just came out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den, wanted to die but couldn't die, I don't know when it will be the end.

In addition to Tian Yang and Li Zhenli, Zheng Sen was also in a bad mood, last time in Meixianglou, he had the opportunity to see Li Xiaojun, but his brain was short-circuited at the critical moment, and he took the initiative to give up this excellent opportunity. Faced with the complaint of his junior brother Qian Sunai, he had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and vowed to break the door of Meixianglou by his own skills. Now that he's competing with himself, it looks like he's going to have to hold back a big move.

Among all the people, only Li Xiaojun seems to be the most idle, the Bian sisters sent someone to pass the message, they have to be busy dealing with the wine bureau in the past two days, and they don't have time to come over to accompany her for the holiday, so in order to express their apologies, they also sent her a box of moon cakes. In addition to them, Zheng Toniang, Gu Xi, Cui Ke, and the Sha family sisters also wrote to greet her and asked her to participate in the wine party together, of course, moon cakes are also indispensable.

Li Xiaojun knew what these people thought, they must have known that Tian Yang was repelled by Zheng Sen, and they must have also known that he had given up the idea of forcibly marrying her. Now that he has given up on Li Xiaojun, they can naturally befriend her. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, she did not blame them, and happily accepted their mooncakes, but refused their invitations - she now has money to collect when she sits at home, so why go out and show her face?

However, their mooncakes don't taste very good, it's just a little sweeter and a little crispy, and as for the taste, her grandmother does it better than them.

Li Xiaojun didn't know how many national delicacies she had eaten in her previous life, and she didn't want to eat these things from hundreds of years ago after only tasting one bite.

But...... In order to reciprocate the courtesy, she also had to give them gifts in return.

...... It's annoying.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was fine, and she also got up early. It's been almost two months since she crossed over, and she finally made up for the sleep she hadn't slept enough in her previous life, and now she can't sleep if she wants to, and this era is not like later generations of women who can go out casually, in order to pass the boring time, she had to pick up yoga that she hadn't practiced for a long time.

At the beginning, she only did it in the piano room, but in the past few days, the weather has become cooler, and the autumn is crisp, so she asked Zhou Bin to buy a soft mat and spread it in the patio, and go to do an hour's morning class every morning before dawn. After breakfast, practice your voice for half an hour, and then review the homework left by Master Su. Since the injury on his head healed, Su Kunsheng came over every other day, and he had to teach a few scenes each time, although Li Xiaojun had two souls in his body, it took a lot of time and energy to thoroughly understand the content of each lecture, so the morning became her time to review her homework.

In the afternoon, if Master Su doesn't come, then all the time will be hers. In the past, Liu Ru often came to record the manuscript, which occupied almost all her free time, but now that the manuscript is finished, she is busy writing novels, and Li Xiaojun has some free time to do her own things.

Therefore, she seems to be idle on the surface, but in fact, she lives a very fulfilling life.

Of course, all these efforts she made were to make a splash after entering the palace. Whether it is according to the plot of "Peach Blossom Fan" or according to the trend of history, she will enter the palace in the future. In the official history, she did nothing after entering the palace, and finally lived on the street when the country broke, fortunately she met Master Su, otherwise she might have died. In "Peach Blossom Fan", she has been adopting a passive and confrontational attitude since she was forced into the palace, turning away the opportunity that Hongguang handed to her, and finally doing nothing.

And now she doesn't want to follow the development of the plot, she has been a human being in two lives, and she knows the cruelty of society deeply, in modern society, women only need to work hard if they want to be self-reliant. However, she is now an ancient woman, and if she wants to live with dignity, she must rely on the big people and be the woman behind them. Li Xiaojun didn't learn history well, and he didn't know Zheng Chenggong for more than a month in front of him, let alone other potential stocks. Therefore, the only way out for her now is to cling to the powerful, and the bigger the better.

The most powerful person in Nanming is, of course, Emperor Hongguang, and she is destined to enter the palace, so her goal is naturally Emperor Hongguang. She had already inquired clearly, Emperor Hongguang had three hobbies like Uncle Yu: food, beautiful women and pear orchards.

In terms of food, although he is not proficient, he can cook a lot of fresh dishes in later generations, especially Western food, she has lived abroad for nearly ten years, and the common Western food can make Michelin flavor, as long as there is a chance, it will definitely attract His Majesty the Emperor who is lazy to eat.

Beauty, she thinks that she is not a peerless beauty at 1.5 meters now, but the aesthetics of this era are very strange, and a third-level cripple like her happens to grow up in the aesthetics of this era, which is also the only place where she has not complained since she came to this world. In addition, she went to the sea after her father's accident, and in order to better serve customers, she also spent money to receive authentic Guan-style training - she is very confident in her skills.

In terms of Liyuan, which is the so-called listening opera, she is a graduate student majoring in musical, and after returning to China, she has stayed in the city symphony orchestra, and after going to the sea, she has mixed in the Peking Opera circle, although she is not proficient, but she can definitely fool people. During this time, she has been studying and practicing hard in order to awaken her skills, and even her master praised her for being more diligent than before, and with the gradual awakening of her skills, her self-confidence has also risen.

To sum up, Hongguang Tianzi likes everything she likes, and what she lacks now is just an opportunity to jump up together!

Since the time has not yet come, let's have a good Mid-Autumn Festival in Qianlong, sit down in front of the dresser, Cuiyun is about to come over to comb her hair, Li Xiaojun stopped her, "I'll write a list, you take it to Uncle Zhou, let him and Xiao Wu buy it according to the above requirements, and we will also make moon cakes to eat today." ”

When Cuiyun heard that she was going to make moon cakes, her eyes widened, "Miss, are you ...... When will you make mooncakes? ”

Li Xiaojun said disdainfully, "Miss Ben has a lot of things, just making moon cakes, what's so difficult, it's really a fuss." ”

Cuiyun didn't even comb her hair when she heard it, and sneered while grinding ink, "Miss, write quickly, I'll ...... I really want to eat mooncakes! ”

Li Xiaojun was speechless, don't you just eat moon cakes, as for being hungry like this? I remembered that when I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I was so hungry that I ran to the school commissary after class, and then I went to boarding school in John's country, and I cried because the snacks hidden under the pillow were stolen.

Glancing at her lightly, Li Xiaojun picked up the pen and wrote the recipe, and without waiting for the ink to dry, Cuiyun went downstairs to find Zhou Bin, Aunt Zhou, etc.

Li Xiaojun smiled bitterly, went downstairs with his hair draped, and started his homework when he saw that the soft mat had been laid.

After finishing the two routine homework, Aunt Zhou also made breakfast, and after eating, she first walked around the yard, missing her parents who appreciated the prison situation in another world, and went to the piano room to review her homework for a while, and before she finished her homework, Cuiyun came to urge, saying that Aunt Zhou and they were ready, just waiting for her to show her skills.

Looking at the little Lori with a longing face, Li Xiaojun put down the script and took action, she asked Zhou Bin and Xiao Wu to prepare the oven, let Aunt Zhou and noodles, Cuiyun burned the fire, and she personally fried the ingredients. In less than an hour, the first basket of egg yolk-flavored mooncakes was freshly baked.

Li Xiaojun tasted half of it, except for a little hard, it was still good overall, because there were no food additives, and the taste was very pure.

It's just a little too hard, though!

...... In this era, there are no industrial-grade yeasts, and being able to make them like this is much better than what Bian Sai, Zheng Toniang, and Cui Ke do.

Cuiyun and Xiao Wu saw that she was frowning, and thought it was not delicious, after finishing their hearts, Miss pulled her crotch again this time, so many ingredients will be cheap Uncle Zhou and Xiao Wu, but when will they eat so much, it will not be all wasted by then!

With a nervous mood, Cuiyun took one and put it in her mouth and took a bite, and then found out that she had been deceived again - she was not satisfied with such good moon cakes, what else could she do?

Xiao Wu saw that her eyes narrowed into a slit, and asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?" ”

Cuiyun nodded excitedly, "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

When Xiao Wu heard this, he hurriedly grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, and then nodded as if a chicken was pecking rice, "Ah...... It's delicious! ”

A pair of half-grown children were so happy that they didn't care about their image at all, Cuiyun was a girl, and they paid a little attention to their image. Xiao Wu is not so particular, there is still one in his mouth that he has not swallowed and has to reach out to take the rest, as if it is a loss if he does not take it in his hand.

Uncle Zhou really couldn't stand the anger of this little family, so he slapped the moon cake in his hand and scolded, "You dog, you don't understand the rules at all, don't take it anymore." ”

Seeing that he ignored himself, Uncle Zhou had no choice but to take one and put it in his mouth, then nodded and said, "Hmm...... Miss is really good at craftsmanship, such a good dim sum needs a drink! ”

Aunt Zhou saw that he had made another mistake with his old problem, and couldn't help but persuade, "You can't drink at noon, and there are so many things you haven't done!" ”

Where would Uncle Zhou listen to him, while eating moon cakes, he went to pour a bowl of wine, and when he came back, he saw that Xiao Wu was still gobbling up, and he became angry, "That piece of mother's, why are you still eating?" ”

"Just eat, just eat!" Xiao Wu won't listen to him, and while eating moon cakes, he danced and replied, "I eat Miss's, not yours, what's your business?" ”

Li Xiaojun saw that this pair of enemies was about to make trouble again, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it, "Okay, don't quarrel anymore." Xiao Wu...... The next cage is bean paste, and the next cage is nutty, fruity, walnut, and now that your stomach is full, don't you want to eat the rest of it? ”

The three of them laughed, and Xiao Wu had to withdraw his hand in embarrassment and go out to drink water. I swallowed too much just now, and I was frightened by Li Xiaojun again, and the half moon cake went down to my stomach, almost choking him to death on the spot.
