Those things about the landlady

Chapter 112 Make Your Sister Xin

Sister Ning has been smarter than other children since she was a child, and it is even more remarkable that she can understand books after enlightenment. Even the husband who taught her regrets that she is not a boy.

She is also low-key. Although she had a high-minded personality before, she never liked to show herself off. There are really not many people who know her true details, and even Shu Ran may not be able to fully understand her.

Her cuteness and caring in front of Song Dachun are all true, since her father and mother regard her adoptive father as a family, she should treat each other sincerely.

Shu Ran didn't know what the father and daughter were talking about. After adjusting her emotions, she planned to try the newly made oven. After all, their life had to go on. It was not her style to indulge in pessimism. madness.

Yun Shan Pi Dian followed her to steal the teacher. It was not easy to eat a fluffy cake in ancient times. There were no tools, and it was difficult to beat eggs. Fortunately, there was no shortage of strong servants in the kitchen. It's finished.

It was the first time I tried this oven, and I didn't know if it would work well, and Shu Ran didn't make too complicated ones, for fear of wasting ingredients.

When the first plate of cake came out, Shu Ran was pleasantly surprised by the sweet smell. She pressed the cake lightly with a small spoon, and she missed the soft touch.

Carefully cut a piece, and impatiently brought it to his mouth. Although it was still a little hot, the familiar taste was not inferior to the finished product made by modern appliances.

Shu Ran nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Nurse, come and taste it with Yunshan. This is a cake embryo, and many desserts will need this in the future."

Wang Momo also loves sweets, and she has tasted a lot of desserts in the palace, so she thinks she has some knowledge, but when she puts the cake in her mouth, the soft and sweet taste made her eyes widen in surprise.

"The taste is sweet but not greasy, and it is very delicate and soft in the mouth. This is the first time this old servant has encountered such a quality dim sum. Even the royal chef in the palace may not be able to make it."

Yunshan said proudly: "Of course, my wife's cooking skills are incomparable. Mammy will know it after staying for a long time. It is the ultimate enjoyment to be able to eat food made by my wife herself."

Although Yunshan is wearing a thick filter, what she said is not exaggerated, Wang Momo said with a smile: "Madam's craftsmanship is really amazing, I tasted nothing else, only eggs, cows, milk Sugar and flour?"

Shu Ran nodded and explained with a smile: "You can also add a variety of fruits. The cocoa beans I bought last time can also be made into chocolate and put into the cake. You can have any flavor, just like cooking. The same, the key depends on how you match."

Wang Momo couldn't help but took another piece and put it into her mouth to taste it carefully. After chewing, she said sincerely: "Madam's skill in making dim sum is enough for your business to gain a foothold in Zhuque Street."

Shu Ran shook her head, "That's not enough. Food is all about taste and taste. What you taste is still an incomplete cake. It can be made into different shapes with cream. I'm sure the female relatives will like it."

Yun Shan nodded impatiently, "That's natural, shall we have this for dinner?"

Shu Ran shook her head, "How can it be eaten as a meal? This is just a dessert, and a little bit is enough. I will prepare some cream and make a chocolate cake for Sister Ning and the others later. My chocolate is very expensive. of."

Yun Shan watched eagerly, and said flatteringly: "Madam, can I give the maidservant a bite of chocolate cake, I would also like to learn from you."

Shu Ran scolded with a smile: "I'm not as good as you, I'll save a piece for you and Nanny Wang later."

Yunshan's eyes lit up when she heard the words, "Thank you for the reward, madam, what else do you want to do? Let me help."

The master and the servant were very busy, and Wang Momo was also happy to see it. She lived a very comfortable life in Yao's house these days, there was no intrigue and no need to be careful.

It's just that the wife seems to have been taken away by the master's expedition. Now that she has adjusted, she can finally relax.

Dinner is for the whole family. After a good meal, when Shu Ran brought out the after-dinner chocolate cake, everyone was startled by the dark thing. There was not much decoration on the cake. Nuts are sprinkled on the dark surface, which looks ordinary.

Sister Xin is the youngest and the quickest to accept new things. The cognition in her little head is that any food made by her mother must be the best, so she took a small piece of stuffing without hesitation. into the mouth.

No one would dislike the taste of chocolate cake, at least sister Xin couldn't resist, her eyes were full of amazement, provoking sister Ning to try it too.

Unsurprisingly, Sister Ning also liked the peculiar taste of chocolate. Although she was full, she still couldn't bear to stop stuffing it into her mouth.

"Mother, is this made from the bean you bought from a Western firm?"

Sister Ning took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, still not forgetting to ask curiously, Shu Ran nodded and said: "That's it, unfortunately there are not too many, I am reluctant to use it, the leftover chocolate made this towel roll, I am Nothing is to be wasted.”

Sister Ning took the towel roll in her hand, pinched it lightly, felt its softness, and then took a small bite tentatively. The taste of creamy chocolate filled her mouth. There is no sense of satisfaction in living in vain.

Sweets can heal the unhappiness in the heart, and the fact that the mother made it with her own hands seems to have magnified the happiness countless times. Sister Xin hurriedly stuffed the cake in her hand into her mouth, and couldn't wait to roll it in a towel and taste it.

Shu Ran personally cut a piece and handed it to Song Dachun, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Song will try it too, help me refer to how to set the price."

Few people know that Song Dachun also loves sweets, if he didn't have to pay attention to his image in front of the children, he would have done it a long time ago, and first took a close look at the cake.

"This looks very strange, the brothers and sisters are really dexterous."

Shu Ran smiled lightly, and she couldn't explain too much, so she urged, "Taste first."

Song Dachun no longer held back, took a bite and put it in his mouth to taste carefully. This sweet taste was indeed something he had never tried before, so he couldn't stop nodding.

"This cake is a good thing. Don't say that the female relatives like it, I feel delicious even after eating it. If it is filled with some fresh fruits and matched with various colors, it will definitely be more attractive."

Shu Ran nodded, and she said with a smile: "Cream can be mixed with fruit juice to change into different colors. I'm designing some unique packaging boxes, so I don't have to worry about business."

Song Dachun really admired her, "Siblings do have ideas. According to me, you can set the price a little higher. The most important thing in this capital is dignitaries with money. The higher the price, the more they feel that it is different from it. match."

Shu Ran also thought of this, "I also plan like this, I don't need to do too much every day, these are all fresh things, it's better in winter, the heat can't be tolerated, so I don't need to do too much every day .”

Song Dachun asked: "The oven must be used. If it is possible, I will tell them to make more, and we have to keep one at home, and the servants who should buy should also buy it. Since it is aimed at female relatives, this shop It’s better to buy more girls to wait on here, but it’s not easy to find a lady shopkeeper who is all-round and exquisite.”

Shu Ran said helplessly: "I'm not very familiar with this capital city, let alone know any capable women. If it's really impossible, I can only choose one to teach."

Song Dachun disagreed and said: "I'm afraid you can't find the one you are looking for now. Since you want to do business with women's family members, it's better for the shopkeeper to be familiar with the women's family members of each family. At least there can be no mistakes or taboos in the rules. Are you right? "

Where can Shu Ran find such a capable person? She has no idea at all. She has never even interacted with the noble ladies in Beijing, let alone know what their taboos are.

"Well, let me help you find this person. Are you planning to open in the spring next year?"

Shu Ran nodded, "That's the plan. After all, the shop hasn't been decorated yet, so it needs to be well decorated, and the baker has to train it himself for a while. It won't be soon."

Song Dachun quickly said: "If you have any inconvenience, just leave it to me."

Shu Ran agreed, but didn't feel relieved. After all, Song Dachun was the head of the palace, and he had a lot of things to do, so he couldn't bother him with everything.

There was an incident that distracted her attention, and Shu Ran's condition gradually improved. Song Dachun only stayed for two days before returning to the palace.

Sister Ning always stays by Shu Ran's side. She seems to be more and more sensible. Shu Ran is busy with the dessert shop, so she takes the initiative to take over the trivial matters in the house. Although it is inevitable that Yao Jiaxing will be a little worried in the dead of night.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the weather has been sunny after the previous heavy snow. After all, it is the first year after arriving in the capital, and Shu Ran still chooses to take the children back home in Maoer Hutong.

There is no news from the border, and I don't know what the situation is. Wei Wang's mansion must know more, but Shu Ran didn't inquire. At this time, it is most appropriate for her to take the children quietly. She knows too much and is not here. I will only worry about it in front of me.

As soon as they came back, Old General Ye's mansion sent greetings, saying that Ye Xiaolang missed sister Xin and wanted to visit her. The two children were still young, and Shu Ran had no reason to refuse, so she agreed.

I thought it would be Ye Xiaolang who came alone, but Old General Ye also came with him. Shu Ran hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects. After all, he was an elder and an old general with great military exploits. Shu Ran was in awe from the bottom of her heart.

She thought about it and said: "My husband has gone to the northwest border, and there is no one else in the family who can accompany you to talk, so wait for the old general."

Old General Ye waved his hand indifferently, "You girl is too polite. I came here today to discuss matters with you. I met yours in person during the competition in front of the hall. He is very skilled. It's definitely not a thing in the pool, so before he makes a fortune, I want to settle your sister Xin for Lang'er first."

Shu Ran was startled, and subconsciously looked at the two children who were playing together. Although the two looked at their childhood sweethearts, they were not yet engaged.

She said dumbfoundedly: "The old general loves you. There is a big gap between our family and the Ye family. You should choose the right one for Ye Xiaolang. Although my husband is capable, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and anything can happen."

Old General Ye laughed, stroked his beard and said, "Actually, I investigated your family's situation before I came here. Even if your husband keeps the status quo, I believe that Sister Xin is a good person. The future of our Ye family is bright." You don’t need to care about whether you are in the same family or not, because you worked hard on your own, I look tough, but in fact there are a lot of hidden injuries, maybe you will die at any time, Lang’er needs a reliable Yue family to rely on.”

Shu Ran somewhat understood what Old General Ye meant. She didn't feel that her family was inferior to Ye's family. What she said was just self-effacing. Of course her daughter was the best, so how could she not be good enough for him? But Shu Ran also has Shu Ran's concerns.

She looked up at Old General Ye, and asked earnestly: "The general knows about our relationship with the Wei Palace?"

General Ye's eyes flashed, he nodded frankly, and said meaningfully: "I was hesitant before because of this, but later I figured it out, it's human-made, it's not easy to meet the right one with potential, if I look forward I won't go to today. Following that person is indeed risky, but it also means opportunities. In addition, Lang'er really likes your sister Xin. I'm just such a grandson. He should be happier."

Shu Ran can understand his kind heart. She doesn't understand the court affairs, but she cares about her daughter's happiness. Sister Xin's temperament can be the mistress of this general's mansion, but there will be no mother-in-law in the future. With the help of my mother, everything has to be done by myself, and it must have been very hard at the beginning.

As the saying goes, sugarcane is not as sweet as the two ends, so it is hard to say what the child will become in the future, and it is not certain whether Ye Xiaolang will be good or bad in the future.

She said apologetically: "The old general also knows that my husband is not in the mansion. A child's engagement is a lifelong event. I always want him to know. I can't make a decision by myself. I'm afraid our mansion will have to think about it for now. Can't give you an answer."

Old General Ye is also an open-minded person, he said cheerfully: "It should be, I am here today to express this wish, the girl is precious, it is only natural for you to think more about it, after a while, I will invite a matchmaker again Come to propose marriage."

Nowadays, the man would come to propose to the girl whom he valued several times, in order to show off his own girl's preciousness. Shu Ran watched and made a fuss, and the youngest daughter who didn't know what marriage was all about was a headache.

After General Ye's grandson and grandson left, Madam Wang said: "Madam, according to what I see, this marriage is very good. It stands to reason that at this time, General Ye is proposing marriage. Well, after all, my master’s future is uncertain, and General Ye’s sincerity is still there, so why bother you.”

Shu Ran said helplessly: "What worries me is that Sister Xin is too young now. How can she know what she likes or not? If she is engaged, what should she do if she doesn't like Ye Xiaolang in the future? Shall I change her partner?"

Nanny Wang chuckled, "Why would Madam bother about this? Since ancient times, major marriages have been ordered by her parents and the words of the matchmaker. Sister Xin is a girl raised in her boudoir. She is bound by rules and etiquette, so how can she have a chance to like someone else?" ?”
