Chapter 16 Taibai Poems
The cake or just the equivalent of a modern unprocessed cake embryo is not delicate in terms of appearance, but the fragrance is more attractive.
Xia Wan, Chuncao and the nurse all said that it was delicious after tasting it, and Lan Yi was a little more confident after listening to it.
"Sister, if this cake can be made more exquisitely, it should be able to sell for a good price." Xia Wan said pertinently.
Lan Yi nodded, she only knew how to make this simplest cake, if it was exquisite, she needed to add a sandwich or fruit decoration, theoretically she would.
"Thank you sister for reminding me, my baby and I went to test the attitude of the shopkeeper before making plans."
Looking at the back of Lan Yi holding the baby and going to the dining room to talk about business with the remaining half of the cake, Xia Wan thought that Lan Yi was in the situation of her dead husband and being cheated out of all her money, but she did not feel sorry for herself, did not grovel, but was firm and confident, and took the initiative to earn travel expenses for herself and her children. She thought that her situation was hundreds of times better than her, but she was upset because of the trivial matters at home, and she didn't want to take the initiative to make any changes, so she blindly hid and studied or fled back to her parents' house, letting her husband blame herself for being difficult to control the backyard, and let those concubines be jealous, and dare to harm the fetus in her womb!
Thinking of this, Xia Wan's soft facial features were three points more hard and strong. She should also cheer up, so that those who have evil thoughts will not succeed, and give birth to a child and raise him to adulthood.
"Nurse, you send the sixth son to the front hall to have a look, don't let people bully her mother and son."
"Girl, you can relax, since this little lady dares to take the child over by herself, she is sure, and we are afraid that our plan will be ruined by sending someone over." Xia Wan's nurse replied, "Why did the girl take them on the road together, the old slave thinks that we don't know their roots after all, and I'm afraid it's not safe." ”
"What's wrong with this, their mother and son can still be bad people." Xia Wan interrupted the nurse's words, closed her eyes and began to rest.
The nurse also felt that she was speechless, indeed, how could such a mother and son be some kind of villains who had been arranged in advance.
Lan Yi went to the front hall and brought the millet porridge to Xiao Er, and the old shopkeeper stepped forward: "Little lady, but you are going to leave today?" ”
Lan Yi shook her head, "I'll go out to find a safe coachman later, and I guess I will have to stay for another two days, uncle, calculate how much I should pay, just tell me directly." ”
"Since the little lady is not in a hurry to leave, this shop fee is naturally not in a hurry. Hehe, the old man felt very appetizing when he ate the little lady's snack yesterday, so he asked the little lady to go back and taste it with a shy face today. The old shopkeeper was relieved when he heard that Lan Yi was not in a hurry to leave, "I don't know how this snack is made, the old man has seen some of the world, but the little lady has never eaten this snack." ”
"Don't hide it from my uncle, this is my ancestral craft, and the little woman has made some improvements to have today's taste." Lan Yi only said that it was an ancestral craft, and the old shopkeeper was not easy to inquire.
"I wonder if the ancestral recipe of the little lady can be sold to our inn? The price is negotiable. The old shopkeeper said, carefully observing Lan Yi's face.
Lan Yi thought about it, then nodded and said, "Uncle has taken great care of my mother and son in the past two days, and it is okay to sell it to you." ”
"Hehe, then thank you little lady, I'll go back to Ming's owner's house, and I'll come to discuss with the little lady when I get the news." The old shopkeeper said very happily that he was a businessman, and his eyes were naturally vicious, and this dim sum was peculiar, and it would be a big purchase if he could buy it.
Lan Yi nodded, she had gradually gotten used to the title of "little lady" in the past two days. She took the baby out and went to the carriage and horse shop to inquire about the price of renting a carriage, which was really not cheap, which also made her feel that it was imperative to make money.
After Lan Yi returned to the inn, he found all his belongings, and divided the remaining thirteen taels of silver around him into two parts, one in his purse, and the other in his newly made small cloth bag. The copper coins were also divided into two parts, one in the purse and one in the baggage.
In addition, Lan Yi's two silver tickets and the baby's jade pendant, as well as Chun Tao and Yirou's jewelry, were placed in a thick cloth bag made by herself, hung around her neck with a rope, and her household registration and road guide were also placed in her pocket, which made her feel a little safe.
At this time, the baby woke up, and the soft little voice called the mother, Lan Yi looked back and found that he was already sitting on the bed, and his little body was sleeping red, Lan Yi suddenly felt that his heart was going to be melted by the sound of red. Quickly picked up the baby and put on the newly bought clothes, put on the coat, Lan Yi washed his hands and face after peeing and drinking water, took him to practice walking in the house for a while, looked at the sun and found that it was already noon, so he took the baby to the dining room to eat millet porridge and eggs, and asked for an extra vegetarian pie to eat.
When the old shopkeeper saw Lan Yi and the child, he came up and greeted politely: "Little lady, our young owner is a person with good food, and I feel very good after tasting your dim sum, and I want to come over to discuss this recipe with the little lady today." ”
Lan Yi naturally nodded in response, and after drinking the millet porridge, she took the child back to Xia Wan's cross-courtyard.
Chuncao enthusiastically let Lan Yi's mother and son into the house, and Xia Wan had just finished lunch and rested on the bed, holding a vertical row of books in her hand.
Lan Yi's eyes lit up when she saw the book, since she had scared away the people who were following her in the Qingshan Bookstore, she didn't dare to go to the Castle Peak Bookstore to buy any more general knowledge books, but she didn't know that there was only one bookstore in Qingshan Town!
Xia Wan sat up when she saw Lan Yi coming in, and Lan Yi took the baby to salute and greet her, "Sister, I just went to the front hall, and the shopkeeper in the store is very interested in the cake I made. ”
"Is this so smooth? That's really going to congratulate my sister. Xia Wan was also happy for Lan Yi when she heard this, although it seemed a little indecent for this woman to go out of business with others, but thinking of Lan Yi's situation, she was helpless, and Xia Wan was not such a pedantic person.
Lan Yi was naturally happy, but she was even more interested in the book in Xia Wan's hand: "It's also a blessing to my sister, if it weren't for Sister Chuncao helping me watch the baby, and my sister's cook helping, I wouldn't be able to make this pastry so quickly." What book does my sister read? ”
Xia Wan smiled and handed the book to Lan Yi, "I didn't expect my sister to be literate, this is a manuscript of poetry, does my sister know Li Bai, a Qinglian monk of the previous dynasty?" This is part of his poem. ”
Lan Yi heard that it was the poetry of the poet fairy Li Bai, and her eyes suddenly shone brighter, she put the baby on the bed, rubbed her palms on her clothes, and then took the poem with both hands, Li Bai's poem.
The pen fell into a storm, and Li Bai, who became a ghost and god in poetry, is her most admired idol.
