He went to the dessert shop again to help Xiao Xia see what problems she was experiencing.

Lu Xu himself is not very good at these, so he can provide some ideas, and to try specifically, Xiao Xia and Han Lu have to come by themselves.

They have a harmonious division of labor, Hanlu is mainly in charge of business, and Xiaoxia focuses on making cakes and snacks.

When he's not busy, Hanlu will also help, give Xiao Xia a hand, and come up with ideas, but it's mostly styling ideas.

She is outgoing and lively, and many of the friends she has recently met are young ladies and maids from large families in Guanyang, and she also invited each other to help her with ideas.

Now the best-selling cupcakes in their store are what they figured out together-

Cut the bamboo tube into three inches high, and then cut out the effect of the ups and downs of the mountains, spread the cakes of different colors layer by layer, sprinkle frosting imitation snow on it, insert bamboo slices to make trees, and make flowers with dried fruits of various colors.

The most popular and expensive cream cake - after Lu Xu mentioned it, Xiao Xia pondered for a long time, and asked a craftsman to make a whisk with a tool similar to a blender of bamboo to make the cream - called Beauty Ruyu.

But the little girls privately called the gentleman Ruyu.

Lu Xu saw that his sister had made all the cream, and suggested how to teach them how to whip the cream more properly, and also wrapped it in oiled paper and made large and small decorators for them.

"You can also try dyeing."

Xiao Xia and Han Lu were surprised to see the gadgets that Lu Xu helped them make.

They have no pigment, and Xiao Xia has already thought of boiling the fruit into a sauce and drizzling the jam on the pastry.

Now there are glutinous rice with hawthorn sauce, apricot jam, and mulberry mixed and stewed to bring out the color, and glutinous rice dyed with spinach juice.

Lu Xu couldn't help but praise his sister's endless imagination.

Since there is hawthorn sauce and glutinous rice, Lu Xu also came to be interested, hawthorn sauce mixed into glutinous rice, formed into balls, skewered together, burned sugar, coated in sugar, and made sugar gourds.

Han Lu looked down at the sugar in the pot, which was transparent and stiff after cooling, and said in surprise: "Xiao Xia, let's use this sugar to make shapes!" ”

The sisters began to boil and drop sugar with great interest, trying to make the sugar thinner and crispier than the candy man, and the crushed candy shaped like icicles was put on the newly made cake as a decoration, which was very good, they had another new product, and they invited her new friends to try it tomorrow!

The time was about the same, Lu Xu gave Layue and Wenzhen sugar gourds, and carried three strings to the gate of the county school to pick up people.

As soon as Yan Junqi, Lu Zhou, and Lu Le came out, they saw Lu Xu standing at the door smiling.

Lu Zhou was pleasantly surprised.

happily ran over and called the eldest brother.

In the past, the eldest brother often had to be busy with business when he was in Guanyang every day, and he didn't have time to pick him up every day.

Lu Zhou cherishes it.

"Hungry or not? Give, I just made the sugar gourd. Lu Xu separated the sugar gourds, one for Lu Zhou, one for Lu Le, and one for Yan Junqi.

Yan Junqi saw him, with a little red on his face, and took it quietly.

Lu Zhou: "Thank you, brother, it's so sweet." ”

Lu Le also said happily: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Lu Xu touched the heads of the two of them and walked side by side with Yan Junqi behind them.

Lu Xu asked, "I'll make what you want to eat at night." ”

Lu Zhou: "Anything is fine. ”

Lu Xu looked at Yan Junqi.

Yan Junqi thought for a while: "Fish." ”

Lu Xu: "What kind of fish do you want to eat?" ”

Yan Junqi: "Anything is fine. ”

Lu Xu: "Then I'll go to the dock to see if there are any fresh fish." Do you go home or go to the shop? ”

Lu Zhou and Lu Le: "Go and help." "Go and help Aunt Hanlu."

Yan Junqi: "I'll go to the grocery store and have a look." ”

Lu Xu: "Okay, then you can take a look at whether they have counted the good things, the grocery store is good to sell and pack it out, and if it is not good, I will talk to the goods tomorrow." ”

Yan Junqi nodded.

Lu Xu: "That...... Then I'll go buy fish. ”

He quietly touched Yan Junqi's hand through his sleeve and ran happily to the south of the city.

The two little ones bit the glutinous rice sugar gourd, Lu Le: "Uncle is so happy." ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhou thought for a while, "I should have chosen a good shop." ”

"Are you going to open a restaurant?" Lu Le remembered the mutton last night, and his saliva secreted wildly.

"Hmm!" Lu Zhou's eyes were crooked, "Wait for Xiu Mu to go back to the village to see the lamb!" ”

"Hmm!" Lu Le was also happy.

At noon, the ready-to-wear shop brought a lot of leather clothes and boots, Yuan Manniang said that she would give him a pair, the sheepskin boots were warm and light, Lu Le touched it, and there was a layer of fine and dense hair inside. Lu Le said he didn't want it, could he change a big pair to his grandmother, her grandmother always had cold legs in winter, and it hurt when it snowed, and it must be warm when she put on leather boots, so Yuan Manniang changed it for him.

When he gets back, he'll be able to bring his boots back to his grandmother.

Lu Zhou also gave him a pair of brushes, and he wanted to take a few home to his younger siblings so that they could also write......

Lu Le is endlessly yearning, recently in the countryside, his father helped Uncle Lu Hui feed the sheep on the mountain, and when he went back, he could help Uncle Lu Hui to collect grass while telling his younger brothers and sisters the story of Xinxue, and he could also follow his father around the mountain to find out if there were any fungus......

In the evening, Lu Xu took charge of the spoon and made tofu crucian carp soup, casserole fish balls, fried small trash fish, fried fish steak, and also made braised fish, boiled fish, steamed fish and sweet and sour fish.

A table full of fish made Han Lu wonder: "Can't the fish on the dock sell today?" ”

Lu Xu: "Eat your meal." ”

Hanlu pouted, her brother was not there, why did the eldest brother still imitate it, "By the way, when will my brother come back?" ”

Her brother didn't say hello and secretly ran away with her eldest brother, and her mother was still holding back the fire. Her brother didn't come back, so she didn't dare to go home.

In case her mother wants to treat her for not reporting her guilt, who will be punished.

Lu Xu: "When the hot pot restaurant opens, I will take someone to Qinglong City to pick him up." ”

Hanlu nodded.

Hearing Qinglong City, she vaguely remembered something, did she ask? Han Lu tilted her head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Big brother, did you cry last night?" ”

The family's chopsticks stopped abruptly and looked at Lu Xu in shock.

Lu Xu fried his hair: "What nonsense! You drank last night, didn't you? ”

Hanlu knocked on her head, knocked the new hairpin crooked and hurried back, she herself was not very sure, "oh" and said: "That's probably because I read it wrong." ”

Lu Xu took up the majesty of her eldest brother and taught her not to drink in the future, especially not to drink outside.

Yuan Manniang and Yan's mother also regretted it, why did they let the children drink last night.

Seeing that the elders also came down to talk about her, Han Lu listened and quickly changed the topic, "Auntie, I wear this head flower today, many people ask, is there a complete set in the shop, if I make an appointment to take them to pick them up?" ”

Hanlu's "circle of friends" is developed, those who can't get out of the boudoir, can only let the maid carry the letter, the young lady who is the youngest female shopkeeper in Guanyang, Hanlu also envied the girls in the city when she was a child, and she knows more, and when she sees that they are not as free as the little girls in the village, they are not envious.

Not only is she not envious, but she is also a little sympathetic.

One day she had a whim and asked Yuan Manniang if she could close the door for a day, and the shop only accepted girls.

Anyway, the owner of the ready-to-wear shop is a female dependent, and her dessert shop is mainly a female dependent's business.

Yuan Manniang agreed, and she wrote to her friends to invite them, not only to invite them, but also to invite their mothers and sisters.

I heard that there are only girls, and some housewives bring their daughters to come, and some let the mothers and maids of the family accompany them.

Han Lu and Xiao Xia specially made a dim sum cake to entertain them, brought them to the ready-to-wear shop together, and held the first tea party.

The first time I didn't do any business, everyone ate, drank, chatted and played leaf cards, and before leaving, they looked for her to order pastries, and a few of them looked for Yuan Manniang to order skirts and jackets.

Later, it was opened a few more times from time to time.

Hanlu and Xiaoxia made up a batch of new snacks and invited them to try them collectively and make suggestions.

Those ladies have their own social circles, one by one, and now the scale of Hanlu's tea party is quite large, and the consumption power is still very high.

She said that she wanted to take them to see the headdress, and Yuan Manniang also looked at it, "Xu'er brought back a lot, and I haven't seen how many sets I can make." ”

"Then put them all out and let them make up for themselves, no one is different from the other, they may be more happy." Hanlu knows her friends quite well, and whoever has something unique can't help but invite people to the house to see it.

Mother Yan: "Then let's take these two days, let's pack up everything, I look at those little dolls, they may like the little clothes." ”

Hanlu also saw the small clothes that had just been hung out in the shop: "I'll invite some more people with children." ”

……

The men at the table are immersed in hardship, they can't mix in this topic, and if they talk too much, they are easy to be disgusted by Hanlu, and they have problems with their vision, so the eldest brother can occasionally interject.

But today, the eldest brother is not interested in making money at all, and feeds them one by one, and even the adults don't let go.

Han Lu spoke for a while, and there were already a lot of dishes in the bowl, and he couldn't help but praise his eldest brother again.

Look at her eldest brother, when she comes back, she cooks, takes the children and picks them up, unlike his brother and his father, who have no eyesight.

No wonder her mother always said that her father's eyes were like angry holes, and they couldn't see anything.

Hanlu observed and observed, it seemed that Yan Shulang also had a lot of vegetables in his bowl?

Is her eldest brother trying to kill people?

Yan Junqi was overwhelmed, braving the cold wind and chatting with Lu Xu all over the courtyard.

It was still early before the curfew, and it was idle to be idle, so the two of them simply went to the warehouse to look at the grain.

"I agreed with the Xiao cavalry to send the grain to the border between Chongning and Dengzhou, and they sent people to Dengzhou to pick up the goods. I will bring some more goods to Qinglong City with them, and bring Lu Xuan back after replenishing the goods, and I will not go out again this year. ”

Lu Xu was also embarrassed that he had just come back and had to leave.

Yan Junqi: "Well, since you have promised, let's go, and you must keep your word." ”

Lu Xu smiled, "Well, this time it's fast, I can come back in a month at most." ”

A month......

Yan Junqi pondered, and he also entered the wax moon in a month.

In the month of Layue, it snowed in Longxing.

"Then you bring more clothes."
