Chapter 263: The Village Beauty Who Claims Favors in a Farming Story (10)
In addition to the soft cake base, Su Lingyu also researched egg tarts and some ordinary biscuits, which won unanimous praise from the Su family.
"I went to town today and saw a pastry shop with a long queue. I went over to take a look out of curiosity. What a coincidence, what they were selling were the things Lingyu made for us." Wang came back from town, smiling so happily.
"I know, I know. I heard that people from the neighboring county even rushed here overnight to line up just to buy these things I made."
Su Yaozu threw a piece of cookie into his mouth and said proudly, "I didn't expect that people in the county are so ignorant. I'm almost tired of eating these things."
Su Lingyu rolled her eyes and said, "You are the one who has no vision."
Another batch of cookies came out, but they were overcooked and a little burnt.
Su Lingyu couldn't help but sigh, threw it to Su Yaozu, and told him to eat it all.
"Brother, when you light the fire, keep the fire down. Sister-in-law, don't fan it too hard. Just fan it gently."
The downside of not having an oven is that you can’t control the temperature, so the food is either not crispy enough or burnt.
"I know, I know." Sister-in-law Li said sarcastically, "My younger sister is powerful now, and she is different. Your elder brother and I worked hard with good intentions, but we were complained about. What's the point of this?"
Su Lingyu was no pushover: "What do you want? Of course, you want me to send your nephew to a private school and pay you a salary every month."
These blunt words left sister-in-law Li speechless.
Wang quickly came over to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, we're all family, why are you saying this?"
She changed the subject by talking about something else: "I heard that Su Dayou's family at the head of the village is planning to go to the capital."
"What is he going to the capital for? Didn't his family just finish building the mansion?" Su Yaozu threw biscuits into his mouth one by one.
Su Lingyu's attention was also drawn over.
Wang curled her lips and said, "His youngest son got addicted to gambling and went to the casino every day. Not long after, he lost all the family money and was in debt. He must have gone to the capital to get money."
Su Yaozu: "You want money? Who do you want money from?"
Brother Su: "You are stupid, who else can you ask for money? His daughter was taken to the capital by a nobleman, so he must have asked his daughter for money when he went to the capital."
Su Guangzhu said sourly: "She gave birth to a good daughter."
“……”Su Lingyu ignored her stepfather’s sour words.
night.
Su Lingyu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He got up and took out the money he had earned during this period from the storage cabinet. There were copper coins and small change, which added up to ten taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver is a considerable sum of money.
But it was still too little and she needed more funds.
Su Lingyu sighed lightly, and the money in her hand disappeared in a flash. If someone saw her, they might think she was a monster.
This was a function that Su Lingyu discovered by accident. The storage cabinet can not only be used to take things out from the inside, but also to put things in from the outside.
It's like a portable space.
Even though Su Lingyu was knowledgeable and experienced, she was still surprised for a while. Later, she thought about it and realized that the storage cabinet had come with her, so there was nothing strange about having multiple portable spaces.
After thinking for most of the night, Su Lingyu finally made a decision.
She is going to the capital.
Not in a year or two, but this month.
Su Lingyu urgently needs a bigger stage, rather than being confined to such a small county town. Since he will have to expand his business to the capital sooner or later, why not go there right from the start?
As for the money issue...
She could sell the recipes. She had many recipes for these desserts, so it wouldn't matter if she just picked one or two to sell.
After thinking it over, Su Lingyu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed and he felt sleepy.
Half asleep and half awake, she thought of the beautiful little girl again.
Did she know that her parents were going to ask her for money? Was she really in Beijing? Was the so-called savior a good person?
…
Su Yu and Chunmei didn't expect that the next time they saw Zhao Ce would be half a month later.
The carriage slowly drove away from the palace.
"Chunmei, where are we going?" Su Yu lifted the curtain and looked outside.
"It's Princess Yining's residence." Chunmei reminded, "We are going to attend the flower viewing banquet at the Princess's residence. There will be many noble ladies at the banquet, so don't talk nonsense when you get there."
Su Yu lowered her eyebrows, not knowing whether she was thinking or afraid: "Oh."
Chunmei comforted him, "Don't worry too much, young lady. The invitation to the flower viewing banquet was specially given to you by the prince. We have the prince's support, so it's okay even if we say something wrong."
Su Yu nodded slowly and said hesitantly, "Zhao Ce... The prince asked me to pick carefully at the flower viewing banquet and tell him which one I like. What does that mean?"
When Chunmei heard this, her alarm bells rang loudly, and she lowered her voice and said, "Miss, you must not listen to the prince."
"You are going to be a concubine, so don't worry about other men. Let's just go there to relax. If the prince asks, just say no. Got it?"
Su Yu nodded obediently.
★This is the first time I’ve seen someone who is more enthusiastic about doing tasks than her.
Thinking about the task, Su Yu suddenly remembered something: [Oh, system, how far is the task progress bar? ]
System resentment: [Host finally remembered me. I thought you were enjoying yourself in the palace these days. ]
Su Yu was embarrassed and couldn't admit it even if it was true: [How could it be? I'm doing this for the mission. ]
The system chuckled.
Su Yu comforted him: [Okay, okay, I'll find a chance to let you out. I'll order a large table of food for you and let you enjoy your meal.]
Slurp~
The system wiped the saliva that was about to flow to the corner of its mouth. This was good enough.
【Thirty percent.】
That’s 30 percent? The world is growing pretty fast.
The system checked and said: [It increased when the host asked if she could marry the male protagonist. ]
Su Yu understood that the male protagonist liked directness.
Princess Yining is your Majesty's elder sister, and Zhao Ce's aunt.
Zhao Ce specially asked her to host this flower-viewing banquet.
The eldest princess sighed, "It's rare for Ce'er to ask me for help."
The nanny massaged her shoulders: "Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Jin has always been the most sensible."
Only the nanny beside the eldest princess dared to discuss the prince in this way.
The eldest princess closed her eyes and rested: "I heard it was for a girl."
The nanny asked, "Could it be the prince's sweetheart?"
The eldest princess opened her eyes and seemed interested.
