Chapter 154 Surprised by Sending Herbs
Chapter 154 Sending medicinal materials and being surprised
In the morning, Su Jinxiu found that the eyes of several waiters in the restaurant were black and blue.
I made a cup of tea for a few people and joked.
"What did you do last night? Didn't you sleep well?
How about renting a small courtyard nearby for you?
Just living in the city saves time on the road and allows me to sleep more.”
A few people didn't dare to stay there, after all, they had to report on the situation from time to time.
If you live close, you are afraid of being noticed by Su Jinxiu.
"No, no, no, the shopkeeper doesn't worry about it.
We live outside the city and are used to it..."
Su Jinxiu also kindly mentioned it, but seeing that they were unwilling, she didn't say much.
When I went out to buy groceries, I found many vendors selling lotus pods.
At this time of year, the lotus pods are not as tender and sweet as they were in early summer.
But it's mature and just right.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I can make some mooncakes.
Su Jinxiu bought a lot of lotus pods and some salted duck eggs to take home.
There are not many people in the restaurant at the moment, Brother Shuan can do it all by himself.
She then made mooncakes in the backyard, peeled and cored the lotus seeds, and steamed them over high heat.
Stir in the oil and sugar, remove the yolk from the salted duck eggs and steam them together.
Wrap the lotus paste into the puff pastry and put it in a simple oven.
Then, just wait for the mooncakes to come out of the oven.
I remember that Wang Jiu and I made this oven together.
Su Jinxiu couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Shopkeeper Su, someone is looking for you."
The waiter shouted outside, interrupting Su Jinxiu's thoughts.
Deng Damu looked at the waiter dissatisfied, then looked at Xiao Rui at the door, with a melancholy look on his face.
What a blind boy, he even said Jinxiu was gone and still yelled.
Su Jinxiu wiped the handle and walked out.
At a glance, he saw Xiao Rui smiling at the door.
"Old prince? Why are you here?"
Xiao Rui had a smile on his face, but when he saw Su Jinxiu, he was completely startled.
Then he strode in and walked around Su Jinxiu.
"Are you, Xiao Jinxiu?
Could it be that you lied to me? Is this who you really are?"
No wonder Xiao Rui couldn't recognize it. Su Jinxiu today is like a completely different person from before.
The swollen and flat pockmarked face before has now become a delicate oval face.
Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, her nose is straight, and her red lips are like flowers.
Beauty is indeed beautiful, but what surprised Xiao Rui was not her beauty.
Rather, Su Jinxiu looked very much like an old friend of his.
"Jinxiu girl, are you sure she is your mother's biological child?"
Li Zhaodi happened to be carrying Su Anan over, and when she heard this, her face turned dark.
"That's natural. Madam Houfu has confirmed it. How can it be false?
Jinxiu is not like me, she is like her father. Her father was a rare and handsome young man from all over the world..."
Su Dafu, who followed, heard this and patted his head honestly.
If he hadn't grown up with his brother, he would have believed his sister-in-law's words.
His eldest brother, he is taller than him and has nothing to do with Jun.
Xiao Rui knew he was being rude and felt a little embarrassed.
"That's not what I meant. What does it smell like? It smells so good!"
Su Jinxiu knew that she couldn't hide it from his nose, so she took him to the backyard.
Invite him to sit down first, and then take out the freshly baked mooncakes.
"The old prince has a good taste. Please try the newly made mooncakes."
Xiao Rui took a moon cake, which was very hot right out of the oven.
He didn't care so much and took a bite.
The soft outer skin is wrapped in sweet lotus paste and topped with a bite of crunchy salted egg yolk.
It relieves greasiness and adds flavor. It is really delicious.
Xiao Rui finished the mooncake in his hand in two bites, his eyes still glued to Su Jinxiu's hand.
"I heard you were sick last time, so I came to give you something.
Let me tell you first, I really didn’t come here just for this stuttering thing.”
While talking, the people brought by Xiao Rui moved things into the yard.
Those boxes built high up are scary to look at.
Su Jinxiu took a glance and saw that there were many precious medicinal materials such as century-old ginseng and deer antlers.
"Old prince, I can't bear these, please take them back..."
How could Xiao Rui take it back after he came here?
He stood up and took the plate from Su Jinxiu's hand, eating as he walked.
"Just think of it as a moon cake exchange, and you can keep it and eat it slowly.
I'm going back tomorrow. Can you bring me some mooncakes to eat on the way?
In this case, I will pick it up tomorrow."
In order not to let Su Jinxiu look at him and get upset, he didn't even dare to stay for lunch.
In my heart, I scolded Xiao Jingze again.
Su Jinxiu was quite helpless and looked at Xiao Rui's leaving figure.
There is really nothing we can do against this old naughty boy.
It’s not easy for him to even spend the Mid-Autumn Festival on the road.
Before dawn the next day, Su Jinxiu got up and started making mooncakes.
Deng Damu rushed to open the door. Seeing her busy, he also stepped forward to help.
"Jinxiu girl, you are so kind.
Even though the old prince is cheerful all day long, he also has bad feelings in his belly.
I take this moon cake back, but I don’t know who to give it to…”
Now he doesn't even want to mention Wang Jiu's name. First of all, it's because Jinxiu is not worth it.
Secondly, that person is indeed like an evil ghost and makes people feel disgusted when he mentions him.
Su Jinxiu put the mooncakes into the oven and nodded.
"I know……"
After the mooncakes were baked, Su Jinxiu packed them one by one.
At this moment, it's just dawn.
Deng Damu wiped the handle and went to the front to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a pair of beautiful geese resting at the door.
His expression suddenly changed drastically.
What kind of terrible thing is it? Such a terrible thing was sent at this time?
Wouldn't that be like taking a knife and stabbing into the tube of Jinxiu Lung?
"Uncle Deng, is the old prince here?"
Su Jinxiu seemed to have heard the noise and was coming outside.
Deng Donkey was startled, quickly picked up the wild goose and ran out.
"No! Jinxiu, I'm going out..."
He had never seen such a beautiful wild goose in his whole life, and thought it would be a pity to throw it away.
I simply found a place, disembowelled it, and took it back to the restaurant, so that I couldn't tell what it was.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Su Jinxiu handing several boxes of mooncakes to Xiao Rui.
"My lord, how long can the mooncakes with lotus paste and egg yolk be stored?
These fresh meat mooncakes must be eaten while they are fresh, so you can eat these first on the way..."
Xiao Rui nodded repeatedly, picked up a fresh meat mooncake and stuffed it into his mouth.
A mouthful of fragrant meat juice finally soothed some of his unhappiness from running on the road.
"Jinxiu girl, don't be sad.
At worst, I recognize you as my daughter.
From now on, it’s up to you to choose any kind of man in this world.”
Su Jinxiu smiled disapprovingly and motioned for Xiao Rui to get into the carriage.
"Thank you, old prince, for your kindness, but I don't care anymore.
With my ability and appearance, what kind of man will I not be able to find in the future?"
Seeing Su Jinxiu being so open and honest, Xiao Rui really didn't know what to say.
As the ostentatious carriage swayed away, Su Jinxiu looked up and saw Deng Dalu.
"Uncle Deng, what are you holding?"
Deng Damu was stunned for a moment and then stepped forward.
"Oh, I just saw that the wild ducks were fresh, so I bought some."
Su Jinxiu didn't think much, took the things in his hand and put them into the kitchen.
"Let's stew it and eat it later in the evening."
