Chapter 09 Chapter 9
Chapter 9
The Imperial Palace, the Kunning Hall, and the Queen's bedroom.
"Yuan'er, are we going to the dim sum shop in Chang'an Lane today?" The queen straightened the child's sleeves and asked again.
The young prince Li Ruiyuan nodded silently.
He was wearing ordinary clothes and was obviously going to leave the palace.
Apart from studying at the Prince's Pavilion, Yuan'er would go to the same dim sum shop whenever he had time.
The store hadn’t officially opened yet, but I just got along well with the kids in the store.
The emperor and empress looked at each other but did not stop them.
It was rare for children to have friends, so they felt relieved.
The Su family is a loyal, righteous and filial family, so there is nothing wrong in having contact with them.
It’s also a dim sum shop. It would be even better if I could eat more there.
There was a palace coup three years ago, and it was because they failed to protect their child that he became like this.
The six-year-old child was terribly thin.
I always thought he could eat more, but who would have thought that he would vomit if he ate a little more.
In recent years, they have sought out many famous doctors and even took him to Yunnan and Guizhou, but they still couldn't find a solution. Instead, the child became even thinner.
The queen only hoped that the child could eat more.
Whatever method is fine.
The skinny child appeared again at the door of Huinu Dim Sum. Today was the opening day, and Su Yinyin was wearing brand new clothes, a light yellow skirt, which looked like blooming flowers in spring.
When Su Yinyin saw the little boy coming, she greeted him with a smile: "Yuan Rui, you're here!"
His servant greeted the Su family as usual, and whispered to the Su couple: "The young master likes this place and just wants to come over to play."
This was awkward, so he quickly continued, "My master said that we will buy all the remaining snacks from your house today."
"No need, just let them play together." Madam Su said quickly, "No need to buy any snacks, he is here to attract customers."
Deputy Envoy Su nodded, but he also disagreed with taking money.
He looked at the child again and felt something in his heart.
If the child wasn't too young, he would have felt that he was in such a state because of a great shock.
Many of my colleagues who came back from the battlefield always had cold eyes and stopped talking. Some of them even became mentally ill in serious cases.
But what kind of stimulation would such a young child receive?
Deputy Envoy Su was not a talkative person and did not ask any further questions. He only told Madam Su about this possibility in private.
As for which wealthy family this young master came from, they were even less willing to ask.
Since it was the city of Bianjing, it was possible that he was the prince’s son.
If no one tells them, they will pretend not to know.
Therefore, the Su couple felt pity for this overly thin child.
After getting to know him, I found out that this young master is a nice person, just a bit eccentric and taciturn, which is not a bad thing.
It's normal for children to like playing together.
Su Yinyin is sharing rice crackers with the children.
Su Yinyin finished her meal and tilted her head to look at the other person.
The other person ate very politely, taking small bites at a time, but he didn't seem to have any appetite at all, as if he was completing some task.
The servant was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when His Highness ate something! How great!
I started to worry again, thinking I would vomit again soon.
But they couldn't stay too long, so they gave the secret guards a look, said goodbye to the Su couple, closed the store and went to pick up the people.
After saying that, he put down a lot of gifts and thanked the Su family for taking care of the young master.
Su Yinyin raised her hands, held the rice cake with both hands, looked at her friend with big eyes, and whispered, "Don't eat it."
The little friend raised his eyes, staring at her with his dark eyes, with a hint of confusion.
"If you feel too reluctant, don't eat it." Su Yinyin felt that her friend was in some pain while eating, but she whispered, "Don't let my mother see it."
After saying that, she stuffed all the rice cakes into her mouth.
First day of opening!
We can’t undermine my mother’s confidence in making snacks!
On one side is the friend who is having a very painful meal.
On one side is my mother who opened the store on the first day!
She chose to make things difficult for herself and destroy the rice cakes!
The friend really breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his eyes. Another bowl of milk appeared in front of him: "Try this and see if you like it."
The buddy shook his head.
He doesn't like it.
After shaking his head, the friend felt something was wrong.
Every time he refused food, the people around him looked disappointed or worried.
Will the baby do it too?
Su Yinyin didn't hesitate and drank the milk in one breath: "Okay, forget it."
Just when she was about to find something to wipe her mouth, her friend handed her a soft handkerchief. Su Yinyin held the bowl in both hands and rubbed it with her head down: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome." The little friend curled up his fingers and quietly put away the handkerchief.
Open for business!
There were going to be firecrackers outside, so Madam Su asked the three children to cover their ears. The eleven-year-old brother Su Xian strode over, pressed the two children to his chest, and covered their ears at the same time: "Okay, that's enough."
ah?
The secret guards are ready to make a move.
Is this appropriate?
Eight hundred and eighty-eight firecrackers were lit in front of the door and the sign of Hui Nu Dim Sum was unveiled.
The dim sum shop is officially open!
Su Yinyin clapped her hands and jumped up and down.
I’m so happy that my mother has her own shop now!
The Su family is popular, and on the first day of opening, neighbors and friends all came to support them.
In particular, Deputy Envoy Su's subordinates came over one by one, buying snacks and saying, "To share in the good fortune, Madam Su, please introduce us a daughter-in-law."
Ding Pengzheng and Sister Liu, who came over to buy snacks, blushed instantly.
Obviously teasing them.
Not to mention their colleagues, even Sister Liu’s former neighbors knew that the couple lived a happy life.
Who wouldn’t be envious after seeing this?
With this idea in mind, many people came to support.
There are only three kinds of dim sum in the store, and it’s not expensive to buy all of them.
Qingtang Cake, this is for old customers, one costs eight cents, it is made with solid ingredients and has a sweet taste.
Pretzels, salty ones, also cost eight cents each and taste just as good.
Finally, there are rice cakes. The baked rice cakes are full of rice aroma and are suitable for eating to kill time. They are very cheap, only three pieces for one penny.
These three kinds of dim sum are all handicrafts passed down from the Su family.
I heard that a hundred years ago, the Su family could make more than fifty kinds of dim sum. But the family fell into poverty and each generation was worse than the previous one.
When it came to Mother-in-law Su's place, she only knew 28 of them, but the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family had learned them all.
When Su's second daughter-in-law came home, her mother-in-law was ill. She barely taught her three kinds of songs, but then she lost interest.
Su Yinyin felt that maybe it was not only because her grandma was sick, but also because she had no money.
If you want to learn different styles of dim sum, you need expensive ingredients.
If you have no money, you can only choose the simplest ingredients.
Fortunately, my mother made these three kinds of snacks very well.
That’s not right, they also have a “hidden version” of wedding cake in their store.
Wedding cakes are only bought at certain times and are not made on a daily basis.
In short, the shop will definitely get better and better in the future. By then I will have money to buy other ingredients and learn to make more styles of dim sum!
Su Yinyin has infinite vision for the future.
I can already see all kinds of snacks flying before my eyes.
Li Ruiyuan stared at Su Yinyin for a moment and then lowered his eyes.
Su Yinyin stood on a small stool and greeted the guests warmly. Her friends stood beside her, watching over her and preventing her from falling.
Madam Su, Deputy Envoy Su, and Su Xian were busy packing snacks for people and were having a lot of fun.
A good start.
very nice.
Su Yinyin also saw her uncle and aunt sneaking over, and she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
But they didn't dare to get close at all!
I guess Daddy taught them a lesson in private.
It can make money and make people angry at the same time, and the smile on Su Yinyin's face becomes even sweeter.
"Two sugar cakes, three salt and pepper cakes, and nine rice cakes, a total of forty-three coins." The three-year-old child spoke in a childish voice but spoke clearly and calculated the numbers accurately.
The six-year-old Li Ruiyuan, who had been looking at her, looked up instantly.
The customer touched her head and looked at her parents: "I just said so many things, did she calculate correctly?"
Deputy Envoy Su held the abacus and smiled proudly: "Of course it's right, my daughter is very good at math."
real?
They don't believe it!
"Little doll, how much are those five pretzels and twelve rice crackers?"
"Also forty-three cents!" Su Yinyin said without hesitation.
Someone was about to say that the calculation was wrong, but the little kid blinked and said, "I'll give you three extra rice cakes, not counting the money."
The guest who deliberately asked the question opened his eyes wide.
Not only did the little boy calculate correctly, but he was also given three rice cakes as a reward because he bought a lot.
Although it was only a penny, it made the guests feel very comfortable.
"Not only is he smart, he's also a smart businessman."
"Come on, come on, bring me three servings of what you just said, and I'll pay for it right away!"
"One hundred and twenty-nine cents in total." The little baby quickly calculated the price in his head.
Li Ruiyuan paused for a moment.
The others were counting on their fingers, while Deputy Envoy Su was moving the beads on the abacus.
It really is one hundred and twenty-nine cents!
A three-year-old kid can not only do addition and subtraction, but also sing the song of multiplication and division?
The Nine-Nine Song is the formula for the multiplication of ninety-nine.
Neither adults nor children can do it.
A three-year-old child can calculate in seconds.
"Your children are amazing."
"Let me try again and figure it out. I'll buy it, too."
That whole morning, the front of Huinu's snack shop was very busy.
Prepared to sell snacks for the day, all sold out in the morning!
Madam Su couldn't help but kiss her daughter. She was so happy that she was a little incoherent: "No, I have to make some more, otherwise we will close in the afternoon."
"It's over. I haven't made lunch yet."
Deputy Envoy Su waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the street to eat. We won't cook anymore."
He also received a bonus this month, so it will definitely be enough.
Li Ruiyuan, who said nothing, was also taken to a street food shop, and the secret guards looked at each other in bewilderment.
Your Highness usually doesn't touch the cooking skills of the royal chef, so is this kind of small shop suitable for him?
"Yuan Rui, sit down." Su Yinyin patted the bench.
Li Ruiyuan, who goes by the alias Yuan Rui, sat next to Su Yinyin and wanted to say that he didn't want to eat anymore, but the soft little baby came over and whispered in his ear: "What don't you like to eat? You can tell me."
Li Ruiyuan was silent again.
That's a bit much.
After a pause, Li Ruiyuan said, "I eat whatever you eat."
OK?
Su Yinyin and Li Ruiyuan are three and six years old respectively, and one serving of wontons is just right for the two of them.
Three-year-old Su Yinyin no longer needs her mother to feed her. She holds the bowl obediently and eats big mouthfuls of wontons one by one.
Li Ruiyuan didn't want to eat at first, but when he looked at the baby and saw how happily she was eating, he ate two or three pieces.
I can’t eat any more.
The Su couple and the eldest son Su Xianming noticed it, but they sighed in their hearts and pretended not to know.
It is so difficult for such a thin child to eat.
How pitiful.
Then I look at my own children, eating a small wonton one by one, it is really a joy to eat.
Comparing the two children, Madam Su rubbed Yuan Rui's head and then touched her daughter's little face.
They are all good kids.
My own child likes to eat, so maybe I can take good care of this little master.
Little did they know that the secret guards almost hugged each other and cried.
His Highness ate rice crackers in the morning and didn't vomit, and now he's eating three wontons.
No, another one was fed by the baby.
Four wontons!
Great progress!
This progress must be reported to the Emperor and Empress immediately!
Su Yinyin did not force Yuan Rui any more, but rubbed his stomach and whispered, "If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell me."
The nausea in his chest was suppressed, and Li Ruiyuan hummed in a muffled voice, his fingers a little helpless.
Will the baby think he is strange?
In the afternoon, Deputy Envoy Su was on duty and Su Xian went to the private school.
Mrs. Su took her two children home to make snacks.
When I brought the freshly made snacks back to the store, I was surprised to see a few well-dressed servants standing at the door of the store. They were obviously servants of a wealthy family.
When they saw that Hui Nu Dim Sum was finally open, they breathed a sigh of relief and asked directly, "Do you still make wedding cakes at home?"
yes.
How did you know?
Madam Su didn't have a chance to ask, and the other party said, "We are from the Cheng family in the south of the city. We are going to prepare 188 pairs of wedding cakes next month. How much is the deposit?"
Almost all the people living in the south of the city are dignitaries.
He also asked for 188 pairs of wedding cakes in one go.
Why is this happening?
Madam Su Yinyin also had the same puzzled look on her face.
Li Ruiyuan said, "Is it with the Zhang family?"
Cheng family, Zhang family.
Su Yinyin finally figured it out!
The young couple wanted to jump into the lake that day!
Are they getting married???
