Chapter 441: Carved out of a mold
At the same time, Li Jingshu and his friends came today to collect their share. This month, Guangyuanlou’s share is more than four hundred taels.
The weather is getting colder and the lamb skewers are not selling well. It’s a pity that there is no chili, otherwise we could add hot pot.
In fact, hotpot has existed in Daqing for a long time, but they were all clear soup pots, so in the absence of chili peppers, hotpot was not uncommon, especially Guangyuanlou itself would add this way of eating in winter, and it is now called warm pot.
But Jingshu's trip was not in vain. She taught how to make candied sweet potatoes, candied taro, and candied grapes. Shen Youyou saw that there were red fruits, namely hawthorns, so she also taught how to stir-fry the red fruits.
Li Jingshu also taught several other dishes, such as pickled fish, pickled blood sausage stewed with vermicelli, cumin lamb tripe, fried chicken nuggets and so on.
Shen Youyou even replaced the ice jelly with milk tea and added dried grass jelly to make black roasted grass jelly, which is sure to be a big hit.
After finishing her work, Shen Youyou slumped in a chair in the private room of Guangyuan Building, drinking milk tea and eating the preserved fruits and various snacks that Manager Chen had sent over.
Shen Luming's belly was already round from eating so much. After all, while Shen Youyou and Li Jingshu were busy, Uncle Chen was the one who accompanied him to eat.
Since they arrived early, the time was about nine o'clock in modern time. Shen Youyou and Shen Luming looked at the lively crowd outside the private room and wanted to go for a walk on the street.
Li Jingshu, the mother, could only take her two children with her. She said hello to the shopkeeper Chen and planned to go for a stroll on the street.
Shen Luming clapped his hands happily: "Let's go buy some candy!"
Shen Youyou pinched his fair and tender face and said, "Eating a belly full of preserved fruit snacks is not enough?"
Shen Luming rubbed his face that was pinched by his sister with his little hands: "I ate it, but Brother Yuanbao and the others didn't eat it, so I have to bring them some candy."
Li Jingshu looked at the two siblings with a gentle smile, "Okay, mom brought money today, we can buy whatever you two want."
At this time, the streets were full of people, and there were so many stalls around that the siblings were overwhelmed. They looked at this and wanted to buy that. Shen Luming's clear childish voice was particularly penetrating: "Sister, this dragon beard candy looks delicious. Brother Yuanbao will definitely like it."
Shen Youyou and Li Jingshu were left in a state of confusion. Not only did they want to eat it, but they also wanted to give it to Yuanbao.
This voice of "Brother Yuanbao will definitely like this," made it hard for Fu Huaian, who was passing by in a carriage, not to notice it.
He had very good hearing. He gently lifted the car curtain with his hand and saw the brother and sister holding hands and jumping happily on the busy street.
Because it was a busy city, the Fu family's carriage never drove fast in the city, and the clattering of horse hooves made them seem like they were strolling.
Fu Huaian thought of what Shen Luming had said before and said softly, "Stop the car."
A Chi was not with him today, as he had asked her to do something else. The one who followed Fu Huaian was A Chi's little apprentice, A Fu.
He pulled the reins and turned around with a puzzled look: "Master?"
Fu Huaian bent down and walked out of the carriage, and Shen Luming noticed it with his sharp eyes: "Ah, little general brother!"
His big, bright eyes were filled with surprise, and he quickly let go of his sister's hand and ran towards Fu Huaian.
Fu Huaian, who just jumped off the carriage, hugged him.
"Little General, are you also on Guang Street? What's the point of riding in a carriage on the street?"
Fu Huaian held Shen Luming in one hand and tapped his nose with the other: "I'm leaving the court and going back home."
At this time, Li Jingshu and Shen Youyou also came up: "General Fu."
Fu Huaian nodded: "Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen."
Ah Fu on the side seemed to be seeing something strange. He knew the surname Shen and it was very well-known. He heard it from his master.
But he really didn't expect that the young master could be so close to them. Look what their young master said?
Their young master actually held the child in his arms and said to the others, "Madam Shen, I have something to ask Lu Ming. Can you bring him back to the mansion?"
It's not Ah Fu who's making a fuss. Look at how Mrs. Shen was also surprised when she heard this: "This... Lu Ming is still young and a little naughty. Don't offend the nobles when you go to the mansion again."
As a result, their young master said, "It's okay. I don't know where you are going, Madam Shen. I will send someone to send Lu Ming back in person."
Seeing that the conversation had come to this, Li Jingshu could only nod and say, "We'll just walk around the street. You can have someone send Lu Ming to Guangyuan Tower later."
"it is good!"
Fu Huaian carried Shen Luming into the carriage. Shen Luming did not forget to greet her sister: "Sister, don't forget to buy dragon beard candy for my brother Yuanbao, and other candies, buy more."
Lu Ming was very conflicted. He wanted to visit his brother's house, but he also wanted to go buy candy with his sister and mother.
When the carriage started again, both Achi, who was driving, and the guards riding on either side of the carriage were very surprised: "Is this the child that their young master picked up on the street?"
As the carriage drove away, Shen Youyou said, "What could he want from my brother? When did they become so close?"
Li Jingshu didn't know either. She shook her head and said, "Who knows what's going on, but at least following him can make people feel at ease. As for your brother, he likes him, and he seems to like hugging your brother."
The mother and daughter looked at each other for a while, puzzled, and said, "Okay, since we're all going, let's go shopping first."
Li Jingshu and Shen Youyou were muttering along the way:
"First stop is the candy store. I have to buy some cakes."
"Yoyo, we still have to go to the dried fruit shop to buy some red dates, walnuts, black sesame seeds and so on. There were not many nutritional supplements in ancient times. Then we can give them to you three to replenish your bodies."
"Oh, by the way, I have to buy some cloth. Now that the plastic cotton is made, we can prepare the cotton-padded clothes."
"Isn't it a bit early to prepare cotton clothes now?"
"What do you mean early? It's different now than it was before. We still have to make our own clothes now. Even if we hire people from the village to make them, it will take a long time."
Before long, the mother and daughter were shopping, and their arms and hands were filled with candies and snacks.
Duke's Mansion
The managers of each courtyard, as well as the maids and servants, ran around telling each other:
"Master brought back a child."
"What? The young master has a child outside?"
"Oh my god, I heard he's quite a big kid?"
"Yes, yes, he looks a lot like the young master, they are just like two peas in a pod."
The courtyard of the Duke's wife.
Ning had just finished checking the accounts when she heard the head maid say, "Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
She almost lost her manners as a lady and quickly took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth. Several maids were busy bringing her water or supporting her back.
The eldest princess’ Qingzhu Pavilion.
The old lady was originally dozing off, with several maids massaging her legs beside her.
Hearing this news, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Who, who are you talking about? Is it Chuan Ting who brought back a child?"
The old nanny who had grown up with the princess smiled and nodded at the old lady: "It is said that he is cut from the same mold as the young master."
