Chapter 56: Fierce Sister
He didn't show it on his face, still smiling innocently, and started to grill a few skewers of food for Mrs. Fan and her granddaughter, including lamb and pork belly. In case Mrs. Fan didn't eat meat, he also grilled mushrooms and leeks.
At the end of March, leeks were on the market. They were so tender. Mrs. Fan really liked them. "If even leeks can be roasted, then everything can be roasted, right?"
Su Yanli has no foundation, and his father and stepmother in Pingjiang Mansion are not helpful, so he has to rely on himself for everything. Although Su Ruojin has a big heart, she is indeed a small person. She can't eat a fat man in one bite, but she can cooperate with him like she did with Madam Yang. She can get closer to the Fan family to pave the way for her father, and she doesn't have to go through the trouble of finding a shop and hiring people. This is simply the best situation at the moment.
Su Ruojin felt that there was hope, so attentive that she quickly served the grilled gluten. "It's a pity that we didn't buy any seafood. If we had squid or cuttlefish, it would have tasted even better."
"Shuangrui, find her some squid and cuttlefish." Suddenly a clear voice came from behind Mrs. Fan.
When everyone heard the sound, they all looked towards the direction of the voice.
The young man stood in the sun, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and his bearing was dignified, as if he had walked out of a painting. His voice was as clear and pleasant as a flowing spring.
If her eyes weren't so disdainful, Su Ruojin would give the youngest son of Prince Jin a score of 88. Unfortunately, she has already put him on her blacklist, and she will not appreciate him no matter how beautiful he is. It's just squid, I don't know how many I have eaten in modern times. Do you want you to show off? What's so great about having seafood?
On the surface, Su Ruojin smiled innocently, but in fact, she rolled her eyes countless times in her heart.
Putting aside the Prince of Jin, Zhao Lan himself also has the title of a county prince, so Lord Fan quickly led a group of people forward to pay their respects.
Zhao Lan was obviously impatient with these red tapes, and only said to Fan Zengxian, "I am here to eat barbecue just like you, my Lord."
How did the Prince of Pingyang know that the barbecue here tastes special? Lord Fan looked at his youngest son who was hiding behind the Prince of Pingyang, thinking, this kid doesn't usually have contact with Zhao Lan, and besides, the Prince of Jin came to him this morning to talk about the companion reading, and he hasn't told his youngest son yet, how did he know? And he called Zhao Lan over, so he contacted him first?
Lord Fan had a thousand questions in his mind, but the spring was bright and it was a great time for a barbecue, so he decided not to disturb the young gentlemen. He tactfully retreated to the carpet and led everyone in eating barbecue, reciting poems and composing couplets.
Several servants around Zhao Lan moved quickly, and soon they had arranged the small table, small stools, tea and other small items for the spring outing. He greeted Mrs. Fan and sat down, looking like he was waiting to be served.
Su Ruojin: ...
Su Yanli and his wife: ...
The skewers of meat sent by Mrs. Yang are almost gone. What should we do?
Madam Yang was a capable mistress. When Lord Fan came over, she secretly asked her steward to go to Duke Zheng's mansion to borrow some meat. Seeing Su Erniang standing in front of the food rack with an embarrassed look on her face, she walked to her side with a smile on her face, lowered her head and whispered, "My steward will be here soon."
"Thank you, Madam." At this moment, Su Ruojin almost called her mother, "You really helped me out."
Madam Yang reached out and squeezed the young lady's hand. It was not easy for a child to be the head of the family at the age of seven. It was hard for her.
As expected, he is a nobleman. Bianjing City is located inland and far away from the sea, so it is not easy to eat seafood. I didn't expect that this kid would really have squid and cuttlefish when he said they had them.
ox!
Su Ruojin also took advantage of this boy and ate a small piece of grilled squid. Wow, that familiar taste was so long-lost, it was super delicious. It was also the first time for many people to know that seafood can be grilled, and everyone enjoyed it very much.
The place where the Su family went for spring outing became very famous this afternoon. Even people like Duke Zheng, who was from Madam Yang's family, came here to visit. It became a grand event for small officials from the capital to pay homage to many bigwigs.
Su Yanli was taken by Lord Fan to talk about poetry and grilled skewers with the big guys. Su Ruojin followed a group of young men to grill skewers for these big guys. Her snow-white and tender little face had long been smoked by the smoke like a little cat, as if it had crawled out of the stove.
Most of the people here came because Fan Yanjia brought Zhao Lan here, so Fan Yanjia felt very sorry. He stood beside Su Ruojin and insisted on helping him to wash the oil and grill the skewers. Su Ruojin was not polite to him either. As both were hard-working laborers, a revolutionary friendship was quickly established between the two.
She asked in a low voice, "Did you call that boy over?"
Dare to call that boy the eyeballs of Princess Jin? Fan Yanjia almost couldn't help but whispered in her ear guiltily: "I just went out to get some fresh air, but I didn't expect to meet him."
"That's what I said. Who would invite an ancestor back to worship?"
Poof! Fan Yanjia quickly turned around and laughed secretly. It turned out that the spoiled girl was not only not spoiled, but also a tough girl!
Seeing that his uncle was chatting happily with sister Maoer, Fan Chengcan was anxious to interrupt, but Su Ruojin pulled him by the collar and brought him to Su Sanlang, "Play with him."
Fan Chengcan was a little bully, he refused to listen and stuck to them. Su Ruojin put her hands on her hips and glared at him, "If you don't play with my brother, I won't let you drink milk tea."
All orders for food and grilled food here must be obeyed by this cat sister. Fan Chengcan is also a young man who knows the times. He pouted and had to go and play with Su Sanlang obediently.
For being able to control his naughty little nephew, Fan Yanjia secretly gave her a thumbs up: Great!
As more and more people gathered, Mrs. Yang asked her shop to send a lot of milk tea to sell. Business was very good. It was especially hot in the afternoon, and the mint and green plum milk teas were sold out.
The young masters of Duke Zheng's mansion knew Zhao Lan and sat at the same table with him to chat. Of course, they said that Zhao Lan was bored and ate skewers and drank mint milk tea at random.
Although his eyes seemed unfocused, his peripheral vision was actually all over the barbecue. That crybaby was not crying or being coquettish. He just put his hands on his waist and ordered this and that, like a cook. Then look at that little clown face, it was uglier than a cat.
He couldn't help but smile.
Realizing his own actions, he was stunned and subconsciously lowered the corners of his mouth.
Humph! Tacky bag!
I saw the flatterer and the tacky guy whispering to each other again, looking at him from time to time. Are they saying bad things about him? Eleven or twelve-year-old boys are really sensitive and rebellious. Suddenly, their slender fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Did they say something wrong? The young masters of Zheng Mansion were suddenly frightened and silent. Zhao Lan didn't notice that no one was talking at the table. His handsome face was so gloomy that water could drip out.
Fan Yanjia, who was happily talking to Han Mei, suddenly felt a chill and looked quickly towards Prince Pingyang. When he saw that the atmosphere at the table was not right, he immediately brought over the newly grilled squid skewers.
"This is freshly baked. Please have a taste, young prince."
Zhao Lan raised his eyelids and glanced at Fan Yanjia with a cold expression. He did not respond. He picked up the mint milk tea on the small table, drank it all, then stood up and left.
Fan Yanjia: …
Everyone: ...
With the departure of Prince Pingyang, those wealthy and powerful people also left one after another, even Lord Fan and his wife left.
The world is finally quiet.
Su Ruojin is also exhausted. Does she still have the energy to fly a kite?
