Xianggui

Chapter 458 Pattern

At the beginning of the tenth day of the lunar month, Xunxiang was called by Ling'er.

She was going to the small kitchen to make Ganoderma lucidum black chicken soup.

There was drizzle in the sky, and the courtyard was shrouded in mist.

This is the good thing about ancient architecture. The corridors extend in all directions, and you don’t need to hold an umbrella when walking through the courtyard.

Yesterday, Xunxiang specially told the whole family that they would go to Qijin Hall for a reunion breakfast today.

Yesterday afternoon, Dongyang finally figured it out and sent someone to deliver two ginseng sticks to Mr. Xun.

In the evening, Xunxiang drank tea and chatted with her father-in-law and Xun Yibo in the study, saying that she would make soup with her own hands tomorrow morning to honor her parents. He also mysteriously said that the soup contains Ganoderma lucidum given by Master Mingyuan, which is a great supplement, and some will be given to Kunning Palace and the ancestors.

Unless he asks for food from the emperor, no one will take the initiative to give it to him. Send it to Kunning Palace. If the Queen feels it is good, she will invite the Emperor to taste it.

The things Master Mingyuan sent are good things.

Xun Prince Consort and Xun Yibo both wished the emperor, empress and ancestors a long and healthy life and were overjoyed. Consort Xun was even more happy when he learned that his daughter had asked for a string of beads that both emperors and queens had.

Xun Xiang also invited his father-in-law to rest at Qijin Hall in the evening. He was embarrassed and only said that he would have breakfast tomorrow.

It was early in the morning when the soup was ready, and Xunxiang went to Qijin Hall.

Dongyang dressed up carefully, with a smile on his face and a bright look on his face.

She is like a willful child, with a reckless temper. If you do something wrong, you regret it. If you regret it, you have the courage to admit your mistake. It won’t be long before you do it again.

Always stumbling in one place is also a sign of Bang Chui.

The table is full of food, which is very rich.

Xunxiang smiled and said, "Mom is so beautiful today."

Dongyang blushed a little and glared at his daughter without saying anything.

Xun Xiang added, "I know, I honor my grandfather and grandmother, and my mother is happier than honoring my mother. I honor my ancestor, and my father is happier than honoring him."

Dongyang knew that her daughter was trying to hurt her, and she also knew this, but she just couldn't control her temper...

She said, "I sent two ginseng sticks to our ancestors yesterday."

Xun Xiang said, "That's why my father is happy. My can of tonic soup is not as effective as my mother's ginseng."

Dongyang also thought so and pursed his lips in amusement.

More than half a quarter of an hour later, Xun Prince Consort and Xun Yibo arrived.

Prince Consort Xun still looked arrogantly at Dongyang and walked straight to the table to sit down.

Dongyang served him a bowl of soup with his own hands, "Xiangxiang knows how to make soup with her own hands at such a young age to honor her husband-in-law and me. We are so blessed. Alas, we have been married for so many years, and all I think about is my husband-in-law, but I just can't change my mind. bend……"

His posture was very low and he didn't even say "I".

Xun Xiang didn't realize it, and Xun Yibo blushed.

Prince Consort Xun was speechless, his son and daughter made jokes, and the meal was quite relaxed.

After the meal, Xun Yibo went to the palace to deliver soup. He had not seen his grandmother for a long time.

Xun Xiang also wanted to go to Xun Mansion to deliver soup to his ancestor, but Xun Xiang refused.

"Dad stayed behind to discuss knowledge with my mother. I haven't seen my ancestor for several days."

Xun Xiang's face turned red and he hit Xun Xiang's little head with his hand, "Girl, what are you talking about?"

He wanted to screw it.

Xunxiang expressed that she was wronged. When her father-in-law asked her to go to the study, he always said, "Go to the study to explore knowledge," and that's what she said.

When they arrived at Xun's Mansion, Xun Xiang watched his ancestor drink a small portion, and the rest would be a bowl each tomorrow and the day after. He put the beads on the old man's wrist again.

The old man knew the goods and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"This is also a gift from Master Mingyuan? I saw the emperor wearing it."

Xunxiang nodded proudly.

The old man was very happy, "With Xiangxiang, the old man can really live a few more years."

The next day, Xunxiang took Feifei and Heiwa to Ding Mansion.

She wrote a letter to Ding Zhao the day before yesterday and asked Ding Chi to go there today, specifically specifying that only Ding Chi should go alone.

Dongyang was so happy these days that he didn't care about Xunxiang's frequent visits to Ding Mansion, and even took the initiative to let Xunxiang stay in Ding Mansion for a day.

Xunxiang hit the snake with a stick and said, "Tomorrow I will go to Dong's house for lunch and dinner, and I will come back later."

When they arrived at Ding Mansion, Mrs. Zhang stood behind Zhaobi and waited for someone.

Hearing the movement, he walked around Zhaobi and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for you. Your father and second uncle are talking in the hall."

Ding Zhuang was worried about his second son no matter what. As soon as he came back from Jiaodong, he forcefully demanded 20% of the shares of "Wangwang Liquor House" and sent a trustworthy steward to supervise the safety.

It was said that it was a stock investment, but he didn't pay a cent. He said that the beautiful bottle designed by Xun Xiang would be his investment money. When he dies, these two shares will be used as a scent.

Ding Chi was reluctant to part with it, saying that his niece could help but he was embarrassed to ask for so many shares from his uncle.

After being slapped a few times by the old man and saying that he wouldn't let Xiangxiang help if he didn't give it, Ding Chi didn't dare not give it.

Ding Zhuang also said that if Xiangxiang successfully introduced him to become an imperial merchant, he must give away 20% of the shares. You can't let Xiangxiang do things for you, but also use her own money to give gifts.

This is a common practice. Anyone who is an imperial businessman must give dry shares to the temple, and 20% is still a small amount. Ding Chi wanted to give it even though he was in pain, and he happily agreed.

Previously, Xunxiang had thought of giving Prince Qing 10% of his stock after the project was completed.

Ding Chi’s hair is difficult to pluck. The remaining shares were given to Princess Dongyang's Mansion. In the future, if Ding Zhi needed help and asked the family order of Princess Dongyang's Mansion to come forward, she would not come forward in person.

As for the 20% of the shares held by Grandpa Ding Zhuang, she didn't want them and would leave them to her two brothers in the future.

Ding Chi took out two finished wine bottle samples and showed them to Xunxiang.

The porcelain firing technology of this era was very advanced, and the bottles were extremely beautiful, no less than a certain wine from the previous life.

What surprised Xunxiang was that the bottle cap was actually a cork, which was very similar to the wine in his previous life.

Ding Chi said proudly, "That day I suddenly remembered that oak wood is soft and has honeycombs inside. It is elastic and easy to stuff into a small bottle. This wine bottle has a long neck and a small mouth, and it can be sealed by plugging a small piece of wood. If you want to drink, just go ahead and stuff it into a small bottle. Knock the top off the bottle to save trouble."

Xunxiang laughed. Although Ding Chi is out of tune, he is still smart enough.

She said, "There is no need to knock the bottle mouth. I designed a bottle opener and let Baotie make it."

She drew a picture of a bottle opener in her previous life on the paper and told Ding Zhuang how to do it.

Ding Zhuang laughed and said, "With this bottle opener, Yuhualang wine is easier to sell. Not only did I buy wine, I also bought vases."

He slapped Ding Chi on the head again and cursed, "Look at Xiangxiang, this is the pattern. After helping so much, I have never asked for benefits. If you want to do great things, just learn from others."

Ding Chi was so happy when he heard about the wonderful use of the bottle opener that he laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, if you create this kind of wine bottle and corkscrew, you can make a lot of money back."

Xun Xiang also told me about the appropriate length of the cork. During the production process, it must be soaked in boiling water for a long time and sterilized...

It will take some time to make corks and corkscrews, and the launch of Yuhualang wine has been postponed again.
