"You like sweet things, so they are all filled with brown sugar."
Helan Yinsheng opened the carriage curtain and handed the hot buns to Yu Qinglan, "Be careful, it's hot."
“And soy milk.”
Yu Qinglan didn't have a big appetite, but he was still afraid that she would be hungry. After all, the palace was half the distance of Funing City away from the Yu Mansion.
Yu Qinglan took it carefully and thanked him in a soft voice.
He was always so attentive, remembering her preferences and her appetite carefully.
There were always moments when Yu Qinglan didn't want to treat him as a brother. That was her little secret.
"No need to thank me, it's my duty to take care of my sister."
Helan Yinsheng, whether intentionally or unintentionally, often mentioned her as his younger sister.
Emphasize the need to take care of your sister.
Yu Qinglan was a sensitive person. The unhappiness in her heart flashed across her mind. Looking at the soy milk and buns that were still steaming in her hands, she was reluctant to eat them.
——
General's Mansion.
It was another beautiful and peaceful morning. Since returning from the East Palace yesterday, Jin Suting had been in a much happier mood than usual.
Tan'er was also happy for her, although she didn't know what the Crown Prince had said to her young lady yesterday.
But Jin Ting herself knew that she was now taking a step towards future success.
Perhaps because she had a goal, she no longer tried to avoid the Queen Mother's displeasure, but faced it head-on.
Helan Ruizhe also said that the Queen Mother seemed to like the dishes she cooked.
The Queen Mother liked it very much, but she was very stubborn.
No matter how much she liked yesterday, she only tasted a little. After returning to the palace, she could not forget the taste for a long time.
He ordered all the imperial chefs in the palace to prepare that one dish - cold cucumber salad.
But the imperial chefs worked in the kitchen until late at night, making dozens of different flavors of cold cucumber salad, but the Queen Mother was not satisfied with any of the dishes.
Although she didn't like Jin Suting, she had to admit that compared with the dish made by Jin Suting, the former was coarse linen and the latter was silk and satin.
After you have worn silk and satin, will you still like coarse linen?
Obviously, no.
So that day the Queen Mother secretly lost her temper and made a scene until late at night, causing panic in the entire palace.
Eunuch Bai also went to consult Doctor Mo, but there was nothing he could do.
But no one dared to ask Jin Suting to enter the palace. Not even Shi Qingmiao had the courage to do so, because based on the Queen Mother's attitude, she would definitely not let her in!
However, Jin Suting was completely unaware of all this.
She just thought that her food had stimulated the taste buds of the Queen Mother and received some praise.
"Miss, are you up?"
The weather is good today. The sun is hanging in the sky warmly and scorchingly. I quickly took out a few quilts to dry in the sun.
"Well, good morning!"
"Good morning, Tan'er!"
"Where's Xiao Hei?"
Tan Er, who was watering the flowers, said, "He went to the vegetable market."
Jin Suting asked, "Why are you up so early today?"
It's not even noon yet, and they've been selling barbecue in the afternoon lately.
As Tan Er filled the watering bucket with water, he explained, "No, he went to the market to buy a live chicken. He planned to learn how to make chicken soup from Cao Cao."
Wow, is this going to transform into a little home expert?
"When was the decision made? How come I didn't know?" Jin Suting said, "No, I want to learn too. Cao Cao, you have to teach me too!"
He hastily patted the quilts drying on the bamboo poles to make them look smoother, and said, "Miss, please don't cancel me. Your cooking skills are the best in our Suxuan Courtyard. If you say you are second, who would dare to compete for first place?"
Jin Suting felt embarrassed by the praise, but actually she also wanted to learn how to make soup. Apart from sour plum soup, she was not very good at other things.
"I dare you!"
Xiao Hei's energetic voice came over. He was holding a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right. He pinched the duck's neck and grabbed the chicken's claws, making the two animals flutter and squeal in an uncomfortable position.
Seeing this, Cao Cao quickly corrected his method of catching chickens and ducks. She took the chickens and ducks, whose feathers were fluttering all over the ground, and said, "Xiao Hei, this is not how you catch them. You have to hold their wings so that they won't run away!"
Tan Er also said, "I really don't know how you got back all this way."
Xiao Hei said awkwardly, "This is my first time buying raw duck and chicken."
Cao Cao shook the duck in his hand and said, "Didn't I tell you to buy only chickens? Why is there an extra duck?"
Xiao Hei pointed to the cloth bag swaying on his hips, opened it to reveal a dazzling white mass, and said, "The woman selling chickens said that if you buy two of each, you can get two chicken eggs and three duck eggs for free. I thought I was making a profit, so I bought a chicken and a duck."
Cao Cao was persuaded by him and took a closer look at the color of the chicken and duck eggs, which were very plump.
Tan Er complained: "Are all businessmen so good nowadays?"
Jin Suting said, "This is a marketing tactic, such as buy one get one free, or buy two get three free. If you can guarantee a profit without losing money, launching promotions will attract more customers and you'll only make money."
This is a set of rhetoric that Jin Suting learned when she was working in sales in the 21st century. Although she can't remember some of it, she remembers this one quite well.
Qin Er seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise, "Then can we do this? For example, buy two skewers of beef and get a free skewer of cabbage. Cabbage is cheap anyway, and one leaf is enough for one!"
Cao Cao also agreed: "I think what Tan Er said is okay!"
Xiao Hei was still confused, and it seemed that he still remembered something.
Jin Suting was very pleased with their reaction and said, "We're on the same page. Let's develop a series of promotional activities and release them during the holidays!"
"good!"
"What are you talking about so happily?"
The old general's cheerful voice came from outside. He hadn't been to Suxuanyuan for a long time. Before, this place was overgrown with weeds and lifeless.
Now, flowers, insects, birds and animals are gathered together, giving a feeling of entering nature.
"master."
Tan'er Caocao and Xiaohei knelt together. Jin Suting didn't salute the old general as usual. She stepped forward and said, "Daddy, why are you free to come here today?"
The old general fondly scratched the tip of her nose and said, "Naughty little girl, it's been a while since I last came to see you. How are you? Did you do okay during those few days when I was in a coma?"
She wanted to say that she had a bad life, was warned by the Queen Mother, was driven away by the Lu family, was starved, and was extorted for money...
But Jin Suting was filled with resentment, but ultimately couldn't express it all. She said, "It's actually not bad. The barbecue business is good. I have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear. It's nice to have friends around."
She just didn't want to make her father worry, and she didn't want to make him feel guilty.
"Then, how does Lu Xiaoxiao treat you?"
The old general was naturally referring to the half month he was in a coma. Jin Suting told the truth this time, after all, the entire general's mansion saw it.
