Chapter 313 The Fainted Young Man
Feng followed behind him and couldn't help laughing when she saw the young lady's hair braided up happily.
But the young man didn't expect that how happy she was now would be how miserable she would be later...
At this time, the servants of the Xiao family seemed to have a tacit understanding with the young master.
They discussed that no matter when the young master woke up, the things he brought with him could not be ignored and had to be handed over to the Jiang family for processing.
So while they were talking, they had already carried five or six large boxes together.
After Jiang Fengnian received them at the door, he opened the lids of the boxes one by one.
At this time, one of the square elm boxes was very eye-catching.
As soon as it was opened, the fragrance of ink wafted out from inside. When everyone took a look, it was filled with books for enlightenment!
"This is what our old lady specially told Miss Nuobao, saying that the child must study. My young master started to be literate at this age." The servant of the Xiao family had a swollen eye and did not forget to explain.
Xiao Nuobao happened to walk to the door. When he heard this, he suddenly said "Wow" and fell into the box in anger!
"Grandma Xiao, Nuobao is still a baby. He only wants to eat and sleep, not to read!"
Xiao Nuobao was really shocked.
Why is it that Grandma Xiao can't escape the temptation to be persuaded to learn?
She was helpless and sad. She slapped the lid of the elm box with her little fat hand. She really wanted to become a strong man and slap them and the box with books back to the capital.
When she mentioned reading and reading, the little fat girl would think of the things in the textbooks of the fourth and fifth brothers. They were like ghost drawings, and it gave her a headache just looking at them.
Rather than having a headache, she would rather be blind, save trouble and be clean.
When the servants of the Xiao family saw that the child was angry, they were startled and thought they had said something wrong.
Jiang Fengnian and Jiang Fenghu laughed, one holding the door and the other holding his stomach.
The two of them also deliberately discussed which book the younger sister should read first.
"You have to start learning to write. Let's use those children's copybooks first. Let's learn the rest slowly. We can't become fat in one bite." Jiang Fengnian was somewhat serious.
Jiang Fenghu started to get a little upset. "If it were me, bring everything into the house. Even if my sister can't finish her studies at once, at least she should be fumigated with ink. Doesn't Mr. Zhang often say that? People who study should be fumigated."
"That's called edification, what fumigation... You are really uneducated, second brother. It seems that our Nuobao needs to study more, and can't grow up to be like you, making jokes as soon as you open your mouth." Jiang Fengnian leaned close to his sister's ear and said.
Little Nuobao felt a pain in his head when he heard it. He
was paralyzed in the bookcase and couldn't get up at all.
No wonder! She had a dream a few days ago, and there was such a scene. Now the nightmare has come true, which is really scary for the child.
Little Nuobao kicked his short legs and was about to trick his family into moving the books to the school for the children there.
But Feng pulled it out of the box directly.
"Okay, when Yu the Great was controlling the flood, he passed by his house three times without entering. Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to visit the thatched cottage three times."
"Things never happen more than three times. You have collected books three times. This is God chasing you to feed you books. When you grow up a little bit, you have to learn the characters at home. If you don't know anything, ask Feng Jing and Feng Miao to teach you." Feng nodded at the little girl's forehead and made the decision.
Xiao Nuobao was disappointed when he heard it. His sparse eyebrows drooped into a splayed shape and he huddled beside his mother in grievance.
Fortunately, Fengze did not join in the fun, and now he was busy coaxing his sister, "Nuobao, look, there are not only books, but also a lot of things for you. Look what this is?"
In the large boxes, in addition to books, there are more objects.
Jiang Fengze picked out one at random, a makeup box made of mother-of-pearl lacquer box, which was full of small ornaments made of gold, silver, jade and jade. It was obviously for Nuobao.
Little Nuobao's face changed instantly, from sadness to joy, and he ran over to take it away with a wow.
"This is also given by Grandma Xiao. Grandma Xiao is the best. Nuobao loves her so much!" Little Nuobao smiled sweetly and opened it happily to take a look.
Feng said helplessly, "You really have a child's face. The weather in August is cloudy and sunny at times. It changes at any time."
The brothers were amused by the little guy. Jiang Fengnian raised his eyebrows and clapped his hands, saying, "Then let's get started quickly and take out all the things. The boxes have been placed in front of the door, which takes up a lot of space."
So everyone worked together to take out all the things and put them in order.
Li Qiqiao rolled up her sleeves and Feng Miao also came out to help.
After working for more than half an hour, they finally counted and put away all the special products, satin, winter clothes, toys, and snacks that can be stored for a long time from the capital.
There were so many things that Feng was dazzled.
Among them, the most eye-catching was the green glutinous rice, a specialty of the capital, which weighed a full 300 kilograms. There was
also a recipe book of the Xiao family, and a book of embroidery patterns of the southern provinces given by Mrs. Xiao.
The recipe was dictated by the cook of the Xiao family and transcribed by Xiao Lanyi herself. Mrs. Xiao specially put the recipe between two jewelry boxes for fear that it would be lost or missing a page.
Jiang Fengnian thought that it was a recipe book of some common Beijing dishes, but when he opened it, he didn't expect that it was full of dishes he had never heard of!
The servants of the Xiao residence explained, "The one who cooks in our house is a retired cook from the largest opera troupe in the capital. She has the best temper and character, and she has served actors and dignitaries from all over the place. She is proficient in Jiangnan cuisine, whether it is from Lu, Shu, or the southern provinces."
"Our old lady thought that if your Xianquanju wants to attract customers, it will inevitably have to come up with more new dishes. Most of the dishes in this book are absolutely not available in the north. If your family uses them, you will definitely be able to surpass others for a long time!"
Sure enough, Jiang Fengnian was amazed just by reading out the names of a few dishes.
"Here are steamed duck brewed with wine, crispy rolls with pine stuffing, plum blossom snowflakes, bamboo shoots with chicken marrow, goose feet and duck tongue, lamb head skewers with spring onions and shepherd's purse... What are these dishes? I'm really amazed."
Li Qiqiao was the most excited. She took them as soon as she heard them, but unfortunately she couldn't read and was so anxious that she jumped up and down.
"Brother, you have to read them to me one by one. With this recipe, I don't have to worry about what new dishes to make for the guests. Madam Xiao really gave me a treasure!" Li Qiqiao was so happy that her face turned red.
"These dishes sound exquisite. When they are made, the guests will definitely study them for a long time." Jiang Fenghu smiled and rubbed his head.
Li Qiqiao nudged him with her elbow, "No one is tired of fine food, no one is tired of fine rice. Guests come to our Xianquanju to enjoy themselves. As long as these complicated dishes are prepared, they will not want to leave after eating them."
Feng kept nodding her head, and she couldn't help but be deeply moved.
The most important thing about gifts is the thought.
Let's not talk about the fact that Mrs. Xiao was willing to give so many good things. Just talking about this recipe book, it was for the Jiang family.
How much sincerity is needed to be so considerate. Feng secretly took note of it and would never forget this heart in the future.
As for the green glutinous rice, since it was distributed to the whole village, Feng took the scale and divided it early, which made everyone happy.
Jiang Fengnian scooped more than ten pounds.
Let him and his brothers deliver it separately.
The villagers got this fragrant rice with a rare color. They all seemed to have got a treasure. They were reluctant to eat it for a while. They put it in the rice vat to watch it for two days first.
After dividing the rice, Feng saw that there was a separate small cloth bag at the bottom of the rice bag.
When I opened it, I saw that there was about thirty kilograms of Oden Rouge rice inside.
Different from Bijaponica rice, which is white with emerald green, this rice is slender and has a purple-red color, just like a woman's rouge.
Just through the cloth bag, you can smell the strong fragrance of rice.
Mrs. Feng exclaimed again, "This is... why is there still red rice?"
The servant of the Xiao family rubbed his eyes and replied immediately.
"This rice was previously used exclusively by the royal family. Although it is now available for consumption by the dignitaries, the production is still small. Just one bushel can be sold for three taels." "
Some of the nobles in the palace cannot afford this rice, so the old lady specially prepared some for your family to try."
Mrs. Feng touched her chest. Three taels of silver for one bushel of rice was simply an outrageous price.
She took the rice and steamed it in the evening to taste it. But at this time, she realized that there seemed to be no movement from the lady.
Mrs. Feng turned around and saw that Xiao Nuobao had already flown into the house, holding three or five children's bracelets and two or three hairpins with flowers, twisting left and right, to show off with Xiao Lanyi.
"This little fat girl is really having a good time today." Feng smiled and then followed him.
