Chapter 114: The Marquisate Can’t Afford to Eat White Flour

Gu Ziyun was in a good mood.

After convincing the teacher, the next turn was Gu Zilu. However, it was easy for Gu Zilu, he just had to open his mouth and there would be absolutely no problem. It was easy!

Therefore, Gu Ziyun did not go directly to find Gu Zilu, but first called Ma Guang and others to go to the restaurant to get together and have a good meal.

While Gu Ziyun was hesitating about his ambitions, Su Jin was cooling off in the house.

All the windows in Liuting Pavilion were open, and the convection wind made the room quite cool. The ice basin contained ice taken from the ice cellar. Yuchuan was waving a fan, and cool air wafted out, offsetting the heat.

"Madam, I made some snow bean water, try it!"

An Xiaoniang came with delicious food again. Su Jin took a lazily look at it and reached out to take it. The bowl was icy cold and felt comfortable to the touch.

Su Jin took a bite. It was icy and sweet. The bean paste melted in her mouth, making her feel like she was drinking sugar water.

While eating, Gu Suiyu came in from outside, wiping his sweat, and said, "It's still cooler in mother's room."

Su Jin smiled and handed her a bowl of snow bean water. Gu Sui Yu took it and took a big sip. Only then did she feel the heat in her body dissipate a little.

"Mother, Ruolan Dim Sum Shop has something new. Sister Ruolan must have told me to bring it to you to try. She also asked me when I go out to visit her."

Gu Suiyu didn't understand either. He and Ning Ruolan were of similar age, but why did Ning Ruolan get along so well with his mother? She had met her last time and she still missed her. She even kept asking her mother to come over and sit with her.

Really, who is best friends with whom? ?

She brought up the snacks, and Su Jin discovered that Ning Ruolan had actually made Basque cake.

Su Jin was stunned. She could only say that the heroine was the heroine. It had only been a short time and she had already made cheese. Otherwise, she couldn’t make Basque.

Su Jin has no resistance to desserts.

She likes egg tarts and Basque cake is also her favorite. Especially for those who like a dense texture, the sweetness of Basque is heaven.

Su Jin's craving came back again. How could such delicious food be served without milk tea!

"An Xiaoniang, An Xiaoniang!"

"What do you want, madam?"

Su Jin said, "Find some black tea to make milk tea, and it has to be iced!"

"knew!"

Xiaoniang An left with a smile on her face. The lady was such a nice person. Most people would keep their inventions secret and not let others know about them, but the lady didn't do that. She even taught her the recipe of the milk tea she made. She was such a nice person!

It’s a pity that what An Xiaoniang didn’t know was that the reason Su Jin taught her was simply because he didn’t want to tire himself out.

At Ruolan Pastry Shop, a small piece of Basque cake costs one or two taels of silver, but here at Su Jin's place, you can eat a whole six-inch one.

All I can say is that Ning Ruolan really favors Su Jin.

"Sui Yu, come over and share some. Everyone gets a share."

Su Jin raised her hand to greet everyone. It was not that she didn't want to eat alone, but the weather was too hot now and there were no preservatives in ancient times. This thing would easily go bad. Instead of letting it go bad, it would be better for everyone to eat it together.

"How big does the mother have to be?"

Gu Suiyu gestured with the knife.

"Well, just that little piece will do."

Basque is delicious, but her age does not allow her to eat too much, so she can just have a small taste. After all, with Ning Ruolan, the heroine, around, she will definitely not lack food and drink.

Soon, the meat was cut. As there were many people in Liuting Pavilion, there was still not enough to go around. Jinchuan decided to let two people taste one piece.

"Don't think that you are stingy, Madam. This small piece of cake sells for one tael of silver at Ruolan Pastry Shop. You have worked so hard for a month without eating or drinking, and this is the only thing you can get. Now it is given to you by someone. Madam thinks that you have done a good job and sympathizes with your hard work, so she gave you such a precious thing. You should all go and thank Madam later."

An Xiaoniang accompanied Jin Chuan in distributing the food, and she talked to the maids and old women as she did so. Everyone was naturally grateful to Su Jin after hearing what she heard, and they even teamed up to kowtow to Su Jin before eating, to thank the lady for her generosity, and then came back to eat in small bites.

"Mother, Ning Ruolan has invited you several times, are you really not going?"

Gu Sui Yu bit the Basque and felt that it was really delicious. It was not as crispy as the peach blossom pastry, but it was dense and soft, just like biting into honey made of milk.

Su Jin: ...

Could she say that she really didn't want to move?

How comfortable is it to lie down?

Some time ago, Su Jin discussed with Imperial Physician Zhang a booklet of exercises called Eight-Section Brocade, which is what the retired elderly people in the 21st century often do for morning exercises. Su Jin learned from the pictures in the booklet. Apart from this, she strolls in the garden every day. This is her daily exercise. It's a pity that there were no gyms in ancient times. If there were, she would definitely sign up for a yoga class, the main point of which is that she doesn't feel tired and can still maintain a perfect body shape.

It's hot now, and you still let her go out?

Forgive her. There is ice in the house to keep cool, and she can also enjoy various cold drinks made by An Xiaoniang. Why should she go out?

Su Jin lowered her head and looked at her arms. They had turned white from not going out, and now her skin has gotten better.

Just as I was thinking about it, the maid outside reported: "Madam, the fourth young lady of the Ning Mansion is here to visit you."

The fourth lady of Ning Mansion?

Who is it?

Su Jin took a while to react, but Gu Suiyu stood up directly: "Sister Ruolan is here? Mother, I'll go pick her up."

Su Jin: ...

Well, she didn't go, but others came to her door, so she didn't have to do anything, which was great.

"Why did my sister come here in person?"

Voices came from outside, along with Ning Ruolan's laughter: "Aunt has not been out for a long time. I think she is afraid of the heat, so I came here in person."

The heroine calls herself aunt, well, that seems to be correct.

Su Jin finally sat properly.

"Aunt, Ruolan is here to see you!"

A cheerful voice came, and just by listening to the voice, you could tell how much Ning Ruolan liked Su Jin.

And everyone, Ning Ruolan saluted first, and Su Jin quickly pulled her up. She is the heroine, and she cannot be asked to salute herself.

"It's too hot. I'm too lazy to go out."

Su Jin also took the opportunity to blame everything on the hot weather.

"I knew it." Ning Ruolan smiled, her big eyes twinkling with the kind of beauty called clear stupidity.

"So, I came here in person, and this time I brought some good things for my aunt."

She asked the maid to bring something up, which was a bag of flour-like stuff.

Su Jin:? ?

At first she thought she was seeing things, but then she looked again and saw that it was white and thin, so what else could it be but flour?

What do you mean? Send flour to the Marquis' Mansion? And only send... Su Jin weighed it, at most two pounds, no more.

What’s going on? Do you think the Marquis’ Mansion can’t afford white flour?

She looked at Ning Ruolan in surprise.
