Chapter 155 Lucky Wheel

"Miss, Shi Lizheng's daughter-in-law, Tian, ​​has sent bayberries again." Lianxin rushed over as soon as she got the news from the doorman.

"Well, I'll still charge according to yesterday's price." Xiao Jiuyue closed the account book. Fengchunlou has been doing good business recently. When this batch of bayberries arrives, half of them will be used to make bayberry wine, and the other half will be used to make canned bayberries.

Xiao Jiuyue suddenly thought of the lychees and longans in Lingnan. If He Changqing and the others could really follow this route, then when the lychees and longans were ripe, could they be canned?

"Have someone collect the bayberries and send them to Mother Geng." Xiao Jiuyue did what he said and wrote the letter directly. At the same time, he wrote down clearly how to make the canned food and how to preserve it!

Xiao Jiuyue was writing furiously. Lianxin wanted to say: Mother Geng asked her to ask the eldest lady how to make pickled fish. But now, she swallowed it back silently. It was still early.

Lian Xin hurried to pick the bayberries and handed them to Mother Geng before saying, "Mother Geng, the eldest lady is still busy right now. How about I ask her later?"

"Since the eldest lady is busy, I won't ask." Mother Geng said repeatedly: "The eldest lady told me before, and I was worried that I was wrong, so I thought of asking again to clarify."

"Okay, if there's anything unclear, I'll ask again." Lianxin put away the bayberries and hurried back to Xiao Jiuyue to grind ink.

Until lunch time, Xiao Jiuyue looked at the long scroll of letters. She put down her pen and rubbed her neck. In order to wait for the ink to dry, the long scroll of letters had to be left there.

Xiao Jiuyue glanced at the sun outside and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's noon now. Miss, would you like to have lunch?" Lianxin asked.

"Noon?" Xiao Jiuyue quickly got up and ran all the way to the kitchen. It happened that Mother Geng was making spicy and sour fish fillets. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she smelled the aroma of the spicy and sour fish fillets.

"Miss, you've arrived just in time. Would you like to try something?" Mother Geng hurriedly asked Xiao Jiuyue to leave the kitchen, saying, "Miss, the kitchen is very fumy."

"Mother Geng's cooking skills are getting better and better." Xiao Jiuyue discovered that Mother Geng was really talented in cooking. For many dishes, as long as she gave a general explanation, Mother Geng could always make the dish unexpectedly, and it tasted even better than she expected.

Xiao Jiuyue tasted the fish fillets. They were tender and smooth, just like what she had eaten before, or even better. Nowadays, fish are all raised in the wild and do not eat various feeds, so they taste even more delicious!

"Very good, Mother Geng, pack a portion of the fish fillets and send it to my third...cousin in the front yard." Xiao Jiuyue almost said 'Third Prince', but fortunately she changed her words in time.

"Yes." Mother Geng said, and immediately handed the prepared dishes and fish fillets to Lianxin.

Lianxin carried the food box and walked all the way to the front yard!

As soon as Lianxin walked to the front yard, she ran into Guo Sheng who was about to get lunch. When he saw Lianxin, Guo Sheng's eyes were full of embarrassment, as if he had been beaten to the ground that day.

"Guo Sheng, this is a new dish made in the kitchen. The young lady said to send it to the Third Master to try." Lianxin spoke and called Guo Sheng who was about to leave. She carried the food box and walked all the way into the house!

"New dishes?" Guo Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. The food made by the Xiao family's chef, except that it was a little spicy, tasted very good!

Lian Xin had just entered the room when the food box in her hand was empty. Seeing Guo Yang take the food box, she felt relieved. Guo Yang laid out the dishes in the food box one by one. Lian Xin introduced: "Third Master, this is the hot and sour fish fillet. It's sour and spicy and appetizing."

Guo Sheng stood aside, his mouth watering as he smelled the sour, spicy and fragrant fish slices.

"This is cold shredded chicken. It contains shredded chicken, shredded cucumber, and shredded green and red peppers." Lianxin introduced.

As the weather gets hotter, this cold shredded chicken is especially suitable.

…

"Miss, the Third Master should like today's dishes very much. He has finished eating them all." Lianxin reported.

Xiao Jiuyue nodded in agreement. Just now, during dinner time, she had already discussed with Geng's mother how to make the pepper and sesame chicken for tomorrow's meal.

"Let's go and see how Mudan and the others are doing with their studies." After digesting the meal, Xiao Jiuyue went to the main courtyard. His grandmother had already gone to bed at this time.

In the wing room next to the main courtyard, six maids, including Mudan and Shancha, who had just entered the mansion, changed into the clothes of the Xiao family's maids. Even though they were under the constant watch of Mother Jiang in just a few days, their manners had changed a lot.

Xiao Jiuyue did not disturb them and went to the yard of the second room. In order to make it easier to make clothes, everyone gathered in the second room. It was already noon, and Meiren Niang and the others were still making clothes seriously. The sound of talking and laughing came over. Xiao Jiuyue stood at the door, feeling very relieved.

Meiren Niang still has to have something to do, otherwise, when she thinks of her father working in Lingnan, her eyes are always red. Sometimes when she sees that she is working too hard, Meiren Niang will shed tears again.

"Miss, don't you want to go and take a look?" Lianxin held an umbrella to block the sun for Xiao Jiuyue.

"No need. If I go, I will have to delay their work again." Xiao Jiuyue was not idle after returning to his room. He was thinking carefully about what to do for the opening event of the cloth shop!

A lottery is a must. As for the format of the lottery, Xiao Jiuyue tried it many times and finally decided to use a lucky wheel. Not only is it easy to make, it is also beautiful and not easy to fake!

After making the decision, Xiao Jiuyue started to work. Since she didn't have any cardboard, she thought about it and decided to find a carpenter. She asked, "Lianxin, is there anyone in the mansion who can do carpentry work?"

Lian Xin replied: "Ai Bo is a carpenter. He made all those flower and plant stands himself."

"Let's go." Xiao Jiuyue said, and hurried out again. Lianxin hurriedly took the umbrella and held it for her, saying, "Miss, if you keep walking like this, it will be dark."

"It's okay if there are some black spots." Xiao Jiuyue said indifferently. The original owner's hair was too white. It's okay if there are some black spots. It still looks healthy.

When she met Mr. Ai, Xiao Jiuyue went straight to the point and communicated to him what she wanted. Mr. Ai called him "Old Man". Fortunately, he was not old, only in his early forties, with a silly smile. The sketch he drew on the ground was also what Xiao Jiuyue wanted!

"Miss, I can make it tonight." Mr. Ai said, and started to work on it.

Xiao Jiuyue didn't rush to leave, but instead looked around the garden. In the most remote part of the Xiao family's old house, near the foot of the mountain, she saw the budding peonies at the corner of the wall and said, "Are these Wei Zi and Yao Huang? They're actually about to bloom?"

She remembered that when she transplanted these flowers before, Yao Huang and Wei Zi were the most precious, but they were also wilted and almost could not be kept alive. Unexpectedly, they not only survived, but also bloomed.
