Chapter 209 Eating Cake in Ancient Times
Chapter 209 Eating Cake in Ancient Times
Su Yujiao laughed heartily: "Of course, cream cake is good news for sweet lovers."
Speaking of this, Su Yujiao suddenly thought of Eunuch Wei. She heard that Eunuch Wei was a food lover, especially sweets.
Eunuch Wei has helped her several times, both openly and secretly, and has also hinted that he wants to try her cooking skills.
She promised it, but she never kept her promise.
It’s not that I’m stingy, it’s mainly because I don’t have the chance to meet.
She rarely entered the palace, and Eunuch Wei never left the palace except to deliver messages and read imperial edicts.
Although he had his own residence outside the palace, he did not live there permanently.
Well, I’ll find a chance to make something delicious and send it to Eunuch Wei.
Just based on what he said last time to mock Mrs. Zhu, he must be made to taste all the delicacies in the world.
As they were talking, Lu Ziqian and Su Qingyu entered the courtyard together.
Su Yujiao rolled her eyes, knowing that this guy would definitely come.
Come if you want to, he has really been a great help these days.
However, she was surprised by the appearance of Su Qingyu.
But she was very welcoming. He was a wealthy businessman from Yangzhou. After making friends with him, she would never have to worry about making money in the future.
"The common people have met the county leader."
Su Qingyu was about to kneel, but she stopped him: "Mr. Su, there is no need to be so polite."
"Today is a family dinner, there aren't so many rules."
"Don't keep calling me a commoner. It sounds weird."
Su Qingyu smiled modestly and did not explain his purpose. In fact, he came just to express his gratitude.
He originally wanted to thank Lu Ziqian, but Lu Ziqian did not dare to take credit for it this time and told him clearly that there was someone else who really saved him.
So, no matter what, he would come over to express his gratitude before leaving.
After the polite exchange, Su Yujiao did not miss this opportunity, but went into the house to get a bar of soap and soap.
"Mr. Su, take a look at this."
"What is this?"
Su Yujiao smiled and said, "Huzi, tell them to wash their hands. They are not allowed to eat without washing their hands."
"okay."
So, Hu Zi, Shi Tou and the others washed their black claws in front of Su Qingyu, making them white and tender with only a faint fragrance.
When Su Qingyu saw the cleansing effect of the soap, his eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but wash his hands.
"County Lady, is this a soapberry?"
"Besides washing hands and face, can I wash clothes and socks?"
Su Yujiao pointed to the larger piece of light yellow transparent soap next to it: "This one is specially used for laundry."
"Xiao Tao, bring me the rag for cleaning the stove. Use the dirtiest one with the most oil."
"Yes."
Su Qingyu personally scrubbed it a few times, and the greasy and yellow tablecloth was washed to be as white as new.
“The cleaning effect is amazing.”
"County Master, this is a good thing."
Su Yujiao smiled and said, "Master Su, do you think this thing will sell well if it's sold?"
Su Qingyu was stunned. Is the county lord going to do business with him?
Su Yujiao looked at the other person's surprised eyes, nodded and smiled: "Yes, it's what you think."
"I wonder if Mr. Su would like to cooperate with this county lady?"
"I'll be in charge of manufacturing, and you'll be in charge of sales!!"
Su Qingyu was so excited that he didn't know what to say. His family had already suffered such a thing, and the family business had been almost ruined by him.
He was still thinking about how to make a comeback when this huge fortune came to him.
"Su is very willing. The county lady is willing to cooperate with Su. This is the blessing that Su has cultivated for several lifetimes."
"What blessing?" A curious voice came from the door.
Everyone looked over when they heard the sound. Wow, the courtyard was really bright and beautiful today. The prince and princess had come, and Gu Heng was following behind them.
The two little princesses came forward curiously and called out sweetly, "Cousin, cousin, hello."
Su Yujiao looked at the two little princesses' tender faces, bright and clear eyes, and innocent smiles, and couldn't help feeling happy.
The two little princesses are twins, also born to the queen, and are legitimate princesses of the eighth and ninth grade.
He is much more noble than Chu Qinghe, but he is not difficult, willful, arrogant, domineering, selfish or vicious.
They are both daughters of the emperor, but their personalities are very different.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince and the two princesses." Su Yujiao nodded slightly.
The prince smiled and said, "Don't be polite, cousin."
"I heard that my cousin's wife was hosting a family dinner today, so I brought my two sisters along uninvited. On the way, I ran into Lord Gu. I hope my cousin's wife won't blame me."
"How could that be? It's more lively when there are more people." Su Yujiao responded with a smile.
As for the fact that they kept calling her cousin-in-law, she was too lazy to correct them. It was pointless to correct them anyway because they just called her that for the sake of it.
"Xiao Tao, Yingzi, go and get a chair for the prince and princess."
"Brother Gu, you sit down too."
The two little princesses stepped forward and affectionately took Su Yujiao and Lu Ziwei's arms, jumping around and being very happy.
"Cousin, you are becoming more and more beautiful."
"Prettier than my cousin."
Lu Ziwei was not happy: "Am I not beautiful?"
"My cousin is pretty too, but compared to my cousin's wife, she's still a little bit behind, just a little bit."
Lu Ziwei rolled her eyes: "Whose good princess is she? She just tells the truth."
The two little princesses giggled, and Su Yujiao laughed too.
Seeing that the two were almost as tall as her, she smiled and said, "The two little princesses are almost as tall as me."
"Hehe, we are not young anymore. We will be coming of age next year."
"My Queen Mother said that next year's coming-of-age banquet will be very grand, after all, it's a banquet for the two of us together."
"My cousin's wife must come and participate then."
Su Yujiao was smiling, but her expression suddenly froze.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
The expression on Su Yujiao's face relaxed and she shook her head gently: "It's okay."
"My cousin's wife made a big cake today and asked your cousin to take you to see it."
"I'll go to the kitchen to see if the soup is ready."
Lu Ziwei took the two princesses to see the cake, while Su Yujiao went into the kitchen.
Gu Heng followed the prince, his eyes occasionally falling on Su Yujiao.
Since her divorce, he has expressed his feelings to her more than once, but she has rejected him every time.
So much so that later on, he had no good reason to approach her again.
After all, it's not appropriate for a grown man like him to always go to a single woman's house.
He happened to be in the East Palace today. When he learned that the prince and the princess were coming to her place, he shamelessly followed them.
"Wow, it's so clean."
"Cousin, do you still have this soap? I want it too."
Su Yujiao came out of the kitchen, followed by Wang Pozi, carrying a soup pot.
"Yes, I'll give you a few each later."
"Hehe, my cousin is so nice."
"Hurry up and wash your hands and have dinner."
There were two tables in the yard, one for Xiaotao and the children, and one for the other adults.
After all, the prince and princess are both people of noble status, and everyone would feel uncomfortable if Hu Zi and the others sat together.
Everyone enjoyed the meal and praised Su Yujiao's cooking skills. The two little princesses ate so much that they didn't want to leave.
