Chapter 78 Jealousy and Candy

Shao Jie is still very discerning, and he said goodbye quickly after speaking. don't know if it was an illusion, Shao Jie seemed to see a hint of approval from Lin Shaoyin Anxian's face.

Shen Shaoguang wanted to see him off, and Shao Jie quickly resigned politely and went out to beat the horse.

Shen Shaoguang came back and saw that Lin Shaoyin was still playing cats there.

Looking at the food that didn't move much on the table, Shen Shaoguang was helpless, everyone left, the "props" could be put down, and then we had afternoon tea!

Shen Shaoguang squinted his eyes and smirked, "Do you want to add something to Mr. Lang? Or should Mr. Lang clean his hands first?"

Lin Yan nodded with a smile and put down the cat. Ming Nu swept his tail and walked over to Shen Shaoguang to rub her calf.

Shen Shaoguang hurriedly coaxed it: "Good, good, still busy, a while!"

Lin Yan glanced at her, lowered his head slightly, and wanted to pick up the items on the table. He remembered that he had not cleaned his hands, so he had to withdraw again, and put his hands on his lap, looking very dignified and solemn.

"Langjun wait a moment, I'll bring a basin of water." Shen Shaoguang is quite conscientious and authentic in the service industry. A noble person like Lin Shaoyin had to be served by several people at home and in the yamen to wash their hands. Those who carried the basins, those who took the soap and hand soap, those who took the towels, and even some hand-washing were done by the servants.

Lin Yan stood up, "I'll go with you."

It's natural to run less, Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "Actually, it's cleaner to wash your hands with running water."

Lin Yan gave her a deep look, and smiled "um".

Shen Shaoguang raised his eyebrows a little, laughing, what's wrong?

The two came to the water tank at the back of the store. Lin Yan slightly bent over and stood in front of the stone sink. Shen Shaoguang took a water ladle and scooped water in the water tank for him to rinse his hands, and then silently handed the bath bean box.

There are towels for customers in the store, but people like Lin Shaoyin who are particular about using their own towels are afraid that Shen Shaoguang is missing the link of "serving towels".

Suddenly, Shen Shaoguang understood the meaning of Lin Shaoyin's smile just now, "serving a towel stick" is often used as a cliché for wives and concubines to serve their husbands.

Shen Shaoguang bit his lip and glared at him, you said that you are the deputy mayor of Chang'an City, can we think more healthy? Think less? Just a matter of fact?

Lin Yan straightened up, shook his hand slightly, and turned his head. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he said, "Did you hug Mingnu just now? I'll help you rush to the punch too, right?"

Shen Shaoguang glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile. Are you still addicted to molesting people?

Shen Shaoguang, who was wicked and timid, smiled and said, "Then there is Lao Shaoyin."

Lin Yan took Shen Shaoguang's way, scooped up water with a water ladle, and poured it on her hand carefully.

Her hands are long and slender. Although the complexion is very white, they are not very tender. There are a few small red dots on the back of her hands, which are supposed to be splashes of oil, and the bones are also obvious - these are a pair of hard-working hands. . Lin Yan's expression of laughter just now faded.

She suddenly remembered what she said when she brought porridge to her grandmother for the first time, "When my son was in Ye Ting, the charcoal fire was not enough, and in the middle of winter, my hands and feet were red and swollen and pus. That's all. I'm most afraid of suddenly approaching the charcoal fire, and it will be very itchy." Lin Yan felt more and more distressed, and really wanted to take her hand and wrap it in his palm, rub it, rub it, and ask her if those old wounds were all gone. All right……

Shen Shaoguang silently counted fifteen seconds according to the standard hand washing method, then turned to look at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan smiled gently, and scooped a ladle of water for her to rinse.

After Shen Shaoguang played the big game, he became happy and asked with a smile: "Today, there is osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, would you like Lin Langjun to try it? Bring some back to Mrs. Tai too."

Lin Yan smiled: "Okay."

In order to show his magnanimity, Shen Shaoguang casually talked to him about eating scriptures, "The rice used for this osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root is new rice this summer, and the lotus root is also new lotus root, but it's a pity that the osmanthus flower was bought from the medicine store from last year's stock. , I smelled the smell of Radix Codonopsis and Scutellaria. ①Fortunately, the smell of sugar covered it up."

"This lotus root is divided into nine holes and seven holes. The nine holes are the white lotus roots. The crispy, raw and sweet ones can be eaten raw. That's what's in the 'fisherman's three fresh'; Not crispy, not suitable for eating raw, but the most suitable for making this sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root.”

The two talked while walking back.

Lin Yan looked at her with a sideways smile, listening to her talk about these things about eating and drinking, there was a sense of peace and tranquility in the years.

"Stuff this lotus root with glutinous rice, plug the cut lotus root, and cook it with red dates, caramel, and sweet-scented osmanthus. Cook for a few hours, the lotus root is fragrant and soft, and the rice is sticky, you can take it out. Let it cool and slice it, grate the juice from the lotus root before, boil it thick, add some candied sweet-scented osmanthus, pour it on the lotus root, it is fragrant and sweet."

Lin Yan was teasing her again, and nodded, "It's time to eat more sweets, and even if you shouldn't, you should."

Shen Shaoguang stopped to look at him, Lin Yan smiled and walked back to his desk.

Facing Lin Shaoyin who had released himself, Shen Shaoguang lost his temper. According to the five internal organs and five elements of health preservation, it should be "sweet in spring, bitter in summer, sour in autumn, and pungent in winter", so it is necessary to eat sour food in autumn "at the right time". More, eat something sweet, neutralize it!

Thinking of Lin Shaoyin, who was serious and cold in the past, Shen Shaoguang sighed faintly, scooped up a spoonful of sweet-scented osmanthus juice and poured it all over it.

However, he suddenly remembered the homonym of this word, "beg someone to win someone"... Shen Shaoguang put the spoon in his hand upright, poured it over carefully, and half of a spoonful of sugar juice was left.

However, Lin Shaoyin didn't say anything "indecent", and only asked about opening a store in partnership with the Shao family.

Knowing that he had good intentions, Shen Shaoguang didn't hide it from him, and told him about the general negotiation process, divided into labor and the like.

Lin Yan nodded: "As a businessman, it is often difficult to have both shrewdness and duty. The Shao family is not bad, and they are very knowledgeable about current affairs. Shao Langjun is also shrewd and strong. It is good for you to partner with them."

Shen Shaoguang smiled and gave such a high evaluation to the "rival in love". It can be seen that the "vinegar" just now was just joking. Well, maybe this is "little vinegar"?

Shao Jie looked at a few more places, discussed with Shen Shaoguang, and finally settled on Qinrenfang.

Qinren Square is a large square, located in the southwest of Dongshi City, and also belongs to a "high-end community". The residence of the Princess Fuhui is located in this square. The mansion of the eldest princess was built on the foundation of the famous garden "Chixia Garden".

There are many famous flowers planted in the Chixia Garden, especially the famous peony, chrysanthemum and camellia. This garden was originally the private property of Mrs. Korea during Xuanzong’s time. After the Houtianbao incident, Mrs. Korea died, and the garden was transferred to Zhou Yan, a famous counter-rebellion general. Zhou Yan was a son of the Zhou family in Yingchuan, so he made this a bit gaudy. The garden was well-maintained, but it was a pity that his son was convicted for his words, which affected his father and grandfather, so the garden changed hands again...

Just like what Lao Bai said in his poem "Haunted House", "The former master was the general and the prime minister, who offended Bayong. The latter master was the minister, and he died of illness. After four or five masters in a row, misfortunes followed each other." This garden has a reputation of being "unfavorable to the master", but Princess Fuhui didn't care, she wanted it down and changed it into a princess mansion.

When Shen Shaoguang came to the new store to see the progress of the renovation, he even went around the Princess Mansion, and across the courtyard wall, he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of the osmanthus that bloomed early.

Osmanthus is good. It can make osmanthus sesame candy, osmanthus jujube cake, osmanthus yam cake, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, osmanthus wine rice balls, and can also stew duck, stew chicken, and stew pork ribs, not to mention all kinds of sweet porridge and tea drinks. .

Shen Shaoguang looked at the walls of the Princess Mansion with admiration, and Princess Fuhui picked up a good leak! If I can have such a big house, and eat all kinds of flowers one by one, then the "Hundred Flowers Book", which is like the "Shan Hai Jing", which indicates various flavors, may really be able to write it...

Desire of the Princess Mansion... Shen Shaoguang felt that his heart swelled a little faster as a player who bought a house and landed a rich man. However, although there is no hope of buying the Princess Mansion in this life, other "haunted houses" are possible.

There are many such haunted houses in Chang'an City, and there is one in Chongxianfang. Of course, the "Haunted House" in Chongxianfang is not as famous as Chixia Garden, and it is not so big. The owner, who has no children, was murdered by a strongman when he went to Youzhou to do business. The wife asked the monk and Taoist priest to burn and beat at home, but she was still uneasy and moved.

During the lantern festival, passed by this house and saw it was dark inside. If it was rich in imagination, don’t know how many ghost and fox stories could be made up.

However, even the haunted house is a bit expensive for Shen Shaoguang... Thinking about the other business in Nanshan, the holiday house by the Weishui River, it is really a long way to go.

Shen Shaoguang turned back to the storefront that was being renovated. This storefront was a little bigger than Shen Ji's current place. It was on the main street. It used to be a satin shop. - From the big garden of the Princess Mansion to several small stores, like a greedy ghost who dreams of eating bear's paw and deer tail, and eating steamed buns and pig's head meat is also very happy, Shen Shaoguang has no psychological gap.

Because it is a branch, the style should be basically the same. It is also the basic configuration of powder walls, log partitions, and blue-brick floor carpets. Shen Shaoguang and Shao Jie discussed, adding a long carved screen in the middle, and placing traditional low food on the side. On one side is a high table and a long couch.

Nowadays, high tables and chairs are also used in luxury homes, but low furniture is the mainstream. Shen Ji is still a low food table, and because of this, Shen Shaoguang is more aware of the inconvenience - it's too troublesome to have dinner together!

Shao Jie high-fives: "It's so right! Ji Shaoqing and the others have a big table at the Qujiang Banquet. More than ten people are sitting in groups, how sweet and lively!"

Shen Shaoguang said again: "We can set up a few large tables that can seat a dozen or twenty people as Langjun said, or add some small tables for three or four people, so that people who drink alone or who drink together, Dinner is cheap."

Shao Jie said again: "Exactly!"

Shao Jie is familiar with Chang'an restaurants. "As soon as this high-table case came out, it was a pioneering work in Chang'an City. As far as I know, restaurants and restaurants have not done this yet. I'm just afraid that some people who don't eat ancient times will say."

Shen Shaoguang thief smiled: "If this can cause a discussion among the people in Beijing, we can save ourselves from going to the Dongxi Market to set up a stall." Black and red are also red.

Shao Jie looked at Shen Shaoguang, how could he still think so? However, it seems, yes...

Shen Shaoguang became serious again, "Can't you see, Lord Lang? From ancient times to the present, from sitting on the floor, to a few tables on a couch, to a high table with a hu bed and drum stool, from low to high, this is a big trend. Those people, But the mantis arm is the ear of the car!"

Shao Jie clenched his fist in his left hand, "I will refute those stubborn people like this in the future!"

Shen Shaoguang laughed.

The author has something to say: ①The stem in Teacher Ye Guangqin's "The Story of Bean Juice": The sweet-scented osmanthus bought in the Chinese medicine store has a smell of Codonopsis and Scutellaria.

Author: Shao Yin, just wash your hands, are you a little too busy?

Lin Yan smiled: I wish I could wake up like this every morning...

Shen Shaoguang: Is he playing a hooligan again?
