Chapter 42: The Bet (2)

Zou Yuanqin didn't expect that Chu Lian was not afraid of how to make up this thousand taels of silver at this time, but began to question the value of Shou Tao. Immediately, the little face turned red.

Zou Yuanqin is just a twelve-year-old girl, the beloved daughter of the family, and the companion of Princess Le Yao.

"Chu Lian, you dare to doubt me! Don't use your little family to judge others here, tell you, I don't care about this thousand taels yet!" Zou Yuanqin's face was crimson because of anger.

Mrs. Shizi of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion didn't expect her daughter to be so uncontrollable, and she was provoked by Chu Lian's words, she immediately frowned, and secretly gave Zou Yuanqin a look, but where could Zou Yuanqin, who was angry, see it.

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi suddenly regretted that she should not have hurriedly agreed to her daughter's request and embarrassed Chu Lian with a plate of longevity peaches. However, at this time, her daughter answered, and she was not easy to interfere again. If she interferes, it will seem that she is bullying the juniors, after all, no matter how you say it, Chu Lian is also a little girl who has just been married for a long time.

Zou Yuanqin was so angry that he actually called Chu Lian by his name, and it was very impolite to call someone else's name and surname in such a public place, and it was the name and surname of a married girl.

Zou Yuanqin's sudden temper made the surrounding ladies frown at the same time, she is now twelve years old, and she will be married in two years, and now this unruly reputation has spread, and it is on such an occasion where all the noble ladies are there, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to find a good family in the future.

Chu Lian smiled in his heart, this little kid wanted to pit her and was a little tender.

"Miss Zou Wu, one thousand taels is not a small amount for me, of course I have to ask clearly, and please forgive me. ”

Chu Lian generously admitted her shortcomings, she was poor, although her mother's family had a title, but it had already begun to decline, this is a well-known thing, and there is no need to hide it at all. At this time, if she behaves generously and heroically, she is reckless, then it will be disgusting.

She had long understood that this damn plate of longevity peaches must be worth a thousand taels of silver, and Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi wanted to trap her, how could she tell a lie! She just deliberately took out this thousand taels to provoke Zou Yuanqin.

Chu Lian's generous admission of his situation has aroused the appreciation and admiration of many ladies and misses, after all, not everyone has the courage to expose their shortcomings in front of everyone.

People, for the most part, are vanity animals.

was said by Chu Lian like this, Zou Yuanqin became even more arrogant and bullying.

Her slender fingers were pointed at Chu Lian angrily and began to tremble, but Chu Lian still stood straight in place and looked at her with a pair of sincere eyes, as if all this was her fault and she was making trouble unreasonably.

Princess Le Yao was suddenly unhappy, and glared at Zou Yuanqin fiercely.

Zou Yuanqin caught a glimpse of Princess Le Yao's dissatisfied eyes, and her heart trembled, even if she didn't want to continue at this time.

She stubbornly said: "Chu Lian, no matter what, you must give my mother an explanation! There is still half an hour left in the front yard to go to the longevity peach, and if you miss the auspicious time, let my grandfather's birthday be rude, I will let you go to the front hall to make amends to my grandfather on the spot!"

Zou Yuanqin let this passage out, and Princess Le Yao finally dissipated the dissatisfaction on her face and looked at Chu Lian in the crowd with interest.

This time, it depends on how clever she is and pretends!

Chu Lian's ears were tipped, and he heard the voice of a noble lady next to him.

"Today is also the third grandmother of Jing'anbo Mansion who has bad luck, and it is not good to hit anyone, but she bumped into the longevity peach made by Mr. Wang of De'an Building. This gentleman has a very big temper, and he only makes longevity peaches for everyone once in his life! Presumably, at this time, the front yard has already spread all over the front yard that Mr. Wang's longevity peach is going to be served today, and the third grandmother of Jing'anbo Mansion is only afraid that this time it will be difficult to explain. ”

Chu Lian was stunned, but he wanted to laugh, if he had the opportunity another day, he would definitely meet this Mr. Wang from De'an Building. Shou Tao is not very good, but there are many rules!

However, scarcity is expensive, and Mr. Wang of De'an Building fried the longevity peaches he made so much, and the people who bought them rushed to this name, and they would be willing to pay more money.

Chu Lian remembers that there is a wedding ring brand in modern times, and each man can only buy one wedding ring of that brand in his life, the only one in his life, this Mr. Wang's business is so good, are you sure he is not a traverser?

Chu Lian tilted her head, her eyes were crystal clear, and they were delicate and good colors, such an unpretentious expression could give people a good impression. If it looks like this, I'm afraid no one will believe that she accidentally knocked over the plate of longevity peaches.

"Miss Zou Wu, I don't have a thousand taels of silver. Chu Lian frowned slightly and said honestly.

She really doesn't have this thousand taels, even if she puts on the ruby head face on her body today, it will not make up half of the thousand taels.

When Zou Yuanqin heard her answer like this, he glanced at her with disdain, and curled the corners of his mouth: "Then wait to go to the front hall to make amends to my grandfather!"

There was a sudden gasp around him, if the third grandmother of Jing'anbo Mansion really went to the front hall today to make amends to Lao Dingyuanhou in front of all the distinguished male guests, I am afraid that even the entire Jing'anbo Mansion would not be able to raise its head in Shengjing City.

Before the ladies and ladies felt sorry for Chu Lian, they heard her crisp voice say loudly: "However, I am willing to compensate Mrs. Shizi's longevity peach." ”

Chu Lian's eyes were bright, her back was straight, and there was no trace of timidity and cowardice, which made people can't help but set their eyes on her.

"Oh, how do you compensate? This is a longevity peach made by Mr. De'an Lou Wang, can you make the same?" It was the county lord of An Min who spoke, and she raised her chin slightly, obviously with a deep disdain for someone like Chu Lian.

Chu Lian smiled slightly, her appearance was pure and lovely, and the corners of her eyes still had a charm that had not yet grown, and when she laughed, it made people feel like a spring breeze.

"I can't say that I can make the same thing, but I can definitely make something better than this. ”

"You are talking nonsense, Mr. De'an Lou Wang's longevity peach is the best in this Shengjing City, how can you make a better longevity peach than him!" Zou Yuanqin never thought that Chu Lian would say this, and immediately retorted.

"Miss Zou Wu, how do you know if you don't see it with your own eyes? It's my fault to knock over Mrs. Shizi's Shou Tao today, Mrs. Shizi is magnanimous, please give me a chance to make amends." Chu Lian said the previous sentence to Zou Yuanqin, and when he said the latter sentence, he turned to Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingyuan.

Her previous performance had already won the favor of some people, and now she asked Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingyuan so sincerely, and this advance and retreat was measured, and it was affirmed by more people. Besides, the situation was sudden at that time, and it wasn't necessarily that Chu Lian bumped into the maid holding the longevity peach.

At this point, many ladies have begun to lean towards Chu Lian's side.

Zou Yuanqin's angry neck began to redden, and she said without hesitation: "Even if you know how to make longevity peaches, what if you can compare to Mr. Wang's? Mr. Wang only makes longevity peaches once in his life!"

Chu Lian's little face suddenly became serious, "Miss Zou Wu, food is about the heart, taste, and secret recipe, as long as the longevity peach I made is better than Mr. Wang in De'an Building, is it really not as good as those vain gimmicks?"

Yes, it's a gimmick!

Suddenly, all the ladies were woken up by Chu Lian's crisp and serious words.

No matter how expensive it is, it's just a plate of longevity peaches, De'an Lou is here to make money, they don't believe it, if the saint comes up and wants to eat two plates of longevity peaches, this Mr. Wang will still hold his neck to resist the decree?

Besides, the identity of the young grandmother from Jing'an Bo Mansion is worse than that of a cook in De'an Building.

Chu Lian's words were simply a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo.

Miss Zou Wu's face was red and her neck was thick, but she couldn't say anything to refute.

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi secretly glared at her daughter, and now in this situation, she could only agree to Chu Lian's request.

If she hadn't been given this opportunity, it would have been the mother and daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan who seemed rude now.

"Okay, the third grandmother of Jing'anbo Mansion, I will give you this opportunity today. However, if you can't make a better longevity peach than Mr. Wang, even if Mrs. He is here, I won't give this face. ”

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi is the lady in charge, she is in a high position all the year round, and she has her own momentum, if it is a young lady and daughter of an ordinary family, it is really possible to be deterred by her threatening words.

But who called the current protagonist Chu Lian!

The modern shopping mall is much more deceitful than this, what kind of boss has not encountered it, and he will be afraid of Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi?

"I obey my wife's words. Chu Lian respectfully bowed to Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingyuan.

She lacks no lack of virtue and etiquette, and she is even more satisfying.

Although Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi was angry in her heart, she still had that dignified look on her face.

She looked at Chu Lian with a pair of sharp eyes and snorted coldly in her heart.

Don't think that Shou Tao is so simple! Since Mr. Wang's Shou Tao of De'an Lou can become popular, he naturally has his strengths, at least so far, as long as it is a rich and noble family in Shengjing City, there is no one who has eaten Mr. Wang's Shou Tao who does not praise it.

Child, be careful, it's not good to blow too much cowhide!

Sometimes I just watch others eat tofu and feel that my teeth are fast, but when I get to my own real knives and guns, I will find that it is not so simple!

With a cook who doesn't know where to get it, Jing'an Bofu can make dim sum popular in the homes of the powerful people in Shengjing, and you can imagine the preciousness of the secret recipe. And if the declining British Mansion has a better secret recipe for longevity than Mr. Wang, the British Mansion will not jump up early, and will it be unknown?

Thinking about it like this, Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingyuan was even more sure that Chu Lian was just too confident, and if she could really make a better longevity peach than Mr. Wang, she didn't believe it at all.

Sister-in-law Rong, who was standing on the periphery of the crowd, almost fainted with fright when she heard that Chu Lian was going to make "Shou Peach" on the spot, and she was fortunate to eat Mr. De'an Lou Wang's Shou Peach once, which was even better than the dim sum in Jing'an Bo Mansion. Before Chu Lian got married, he didn't even enter the kitchen in the British mansion, where would he do what longevity peaches!
