Chapter 456: Picky Kong Mingxue

Meng Bujiu took it and opened it layer by layer.

A dozen round, pink cakes were visible from inside.

"Wow, what is this?" Jiang Fubao asked curiously.

"Flower glutinous rice balls are the best pastry sold in Yanyun Province and are also a specialty of Yanyun Province. The filling is made from the first batch of flowers that bloom each year, which are pickled for three months before being wrapped. The powder on the outside is also dyed with the juice of the flowers.

If it wasn’t for the cold weather, it wouldn’t have been stored for so long. Now that it’s not spoiled, Fubao, try it. I know you don’t like things that are too sweet. This one has a light sweetness, and you should like it.”

Meng Bujiu picked up a piece and stuffed it into Jiang Fubao's mouth.

Her mouth is not big.

The pastries were not big either.

It fits in one mouthful.

"Wow, it's delicious. The outer skin is icy and soft, and it doesn't stick to your teeth. The flower filling inside tastes rich in flower fragrance, but it's not pungent or greasy. The sweetness is moderate. I like it!"

Jiang Fubao's eyes sparkled.

The glutinous rice balls in my mouth look very much like the flower cakes sold somewhere nowadays.

But she personally thinks it tastes better than flower cakes because she doesn't like to eat things that are too dry.

The combination of glutinous rice cake and delicious flower filling is surprisingly suitable.

"As long as you like it, I know you like to eat these beautiful snacks, so I bought them for you. This time I'm back, I'm free until the beginning of spring. When do you want to go to Jiangnan?"

Meng Bujiu asked with a smile.

"Going to the south of the Yangtze River?" Jiang Fubao was so busy that he almost forgot about it.

At first she thought that brother Bujiu was joking.

"Well, I must do what I promised you. If Fubao has nothing to do recently, how about we set off at the beginning of the month? Then we can call your second brother and Mingxue, and the four of us will go together." Seeing that Jiang Fubao looked a little hesitant, Meng Bujiu added another sentence.

"Second brother definitely can't go. Second sister-in-law just gave birth, and he has to accompany her and my nephew. As for Brother Mingxue, I guess he can't go either. Godmother Xian is helping him find a girl recently."

Meng Bujiu came back today. He first went to see his parents and his grandfather, and then went to find Jiang Fubao immediately. Naturally, he didn't know that Jiang Tongmu had already become a father.

He seemed a little shocked when he heard Jiang Fubao's words.

"This kid has actually become a father. So, let's have the full moon banquet before setting off? You can also bring Xue Huan with you." Meng Bujiu suggested.

"Okay, I won't listen to my brother." Jiang Fubao had been wanting to go out for a walk for a long time.

She doesn't know how Jiangnan of this era is different from her world.

If possible, she would like to visit the imperial city in the future.

There is also my brother Bujiu’s hometown, Yanyun Province. I heard that there are many mountains, lakes and rivers there. The water is as clear as jade and the scenery is particularly beautiful.

"When is Fubao going to open?" The two sat on the wooden sofa in the private room.

Meng Bujiu asked again.

"After the Chinese New Year, there are still some small things that I haven't purchased yet. After I came back from Jiangnan, it's almost the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, I'll be ready to open the business. I was worried that my second sister's cooking skills were not up to standard. Since my birthday party, many people have come to my house to ask for medicinal food. It seems that my second sister will be able to cook if she practices for another two or three months."

Jiang Fubao ate another glutinous rice dumpling.

There is still glutinous rice flour at the corners of his mouth.

The white powder makes her lips look even more rosy.

Meng Bujiu helplessly took the handkerchief from Jiang Fubao's waist and wiped her mouth.

The force is gentle, like a caress.

Jiang Fubao ate by himself.

The little mouth keeps chewing.

Before she knew it, she had eaten only half of the dozen or so glutinous rice balls.

"Burp~" Jiang Fubao burped.

This thing doesn't look big, but how come it's so filling?

She doesn't even want to eat lunch.

"Are you full? I was thinking of taking you to a restaurant for lunch. It seems that Fubao cares about his brother and wants to save money for him." Meng Bujiu chuckled.

But his eyes always followed Jiang Fubao.

"No, I'll put this meal on the bill, and I won't blame you for treating me again in the future."

Not getting any advantage was more painful than killing Jiang Fubao.

She tugged at the corner of Meng Bujiu's clothes and said with a pout.

"Okay, okay, brother is just teasing you. As long as Fubao wants to eat, it's okay even if we go to the restaurant every day." Meng Bujiu scratched her nose with his fingers and smiled dotingly.

"Hey, Brother Bujiu, you gave me so much money, but I haven't spent it yet. Come back with me later and I'll return the banknotes to you. I don't need so much money. You're already seventeen and you're going to get married. Give this money to your wife to manage. Otherwise, you'll be penniless and no good girl will be willing to marry you."

Jiang Fubao teased him.

There was so much money, but she actually didn't want to accept it on her birthday.

It was really too expensive, and besides, her godfather and stepmother had already given her such a big gift.

Jiang Fubao prepared to return the banknote to Meng Bujiu.

"I don't want to get married for the time being, so Fubao, feel free to spend your money." Meng Bujiu's smile froze on his face. He was stunned for a moment before speaking in a cold voice.

"Really don't want to?" Jiang Fubao looked at him sideways.

"No." Meng Bujiu nodded slightly.

"Really don't want it?" Jiang Fubao asked again.

"Really, Fubao, feel free to spend it." Meng Bujiu chuckled helplessly.

Continue answering her.

"Well, since Brother Bujiu is so adamant, I will accept it with reluctance."

This is money. Anyone who doesn't want it is a fool.

She originally wanted to return it to Meng Bujiu, but he said he didn't want it anymore.

It would be rude to refuse again.

Jiang Fubao's mouth was almost stretched to his forehead.

"Little money-grubber." Meng Bujiu cursed in a low voice.

But his eyes curved with smile.

A quarter of an hour later, the two left the clinic.

The maid and Lingshan followed them and headed straight to the Jiang family.

Meng Bujiu went to see his good brother's son, and had dinner at Jiang's house before returning to his own home.

The poor Kong Mingxue met three girls in three consecutive days.

He was about to collapse.

"I think these three girls are all good. Which one do you like?" Wan Xian asked while eating, pretending to be indifferent.

"I don't like any of them." Kong Mingxue's head was almost buried in the bowl, but his mouth was very hard.

Wan Xian sighed and didn't ask any more questions. If she asked too many questions, they would definitely start quarreling again.

"You little bastard, those three girls are all beautiful, what kind of girl are you looking for?" Kong Yuanbao chose to be the bad guy. He slammed his chopsticks on the table and yelled.

"Dad, I just don't like her. There's no reason for me to give. Even if she's as pretty as a fairy, it has nothing to do with me." Meng Bujiu lost his appetite after being yelled at.

He put down the bowl and turned away.

The girls I met in these three days were from Liu's family in Baishui Town, Bai's family in Chang'an Town, and Wang's family in Linxian County.

All three are really good looking.

But he didn't like his personality.
