Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 66 Want to have sex for nothing

"Okay, I will also try the lunch in your courtyard today. I have heard from Qing'er and the others all day long that your food is the best."

The dishes cooked in the large kitchen of Duke Rongguo's mansion are also very good. After all, three well-known chefs were invited to the mansion. Even if you eat delicacies for a long time, you will get tired of them. Besides, in Tang Bingxuan's courtyard, Zhidong's cooking skills are very good and he often cooks them. Innovative dishes.

The two of them were about to enter the hall to have a meal when the five little ones arrived. Needless to say, they came here just to have a meal.

"Second aunt is fine."

"Second aunt is well"

The five little ones bowed respectfully and said hello to the second lady. They did not expect that the second lady would have lunch in the eldest sister's yard. This was the first time in their memory.

Tang Bingxuan called her younger siblings to wash up and eat, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. I'll ask Zhidong to cook some more dishes."

Tang Wenzhu took the eldest sister's hand and begged shakingly: "Sister, please make the fried eggplant box again. We all still want to eat it."

Several other children also nodded in agreement, and even the little adult Yuan Sheng nodded his head to eat this dish.

The fried eggplant box dish was one of the small gifts Jiang Shunian bought for Tang Bingxuan. Tang Bingxuan ate this dish, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was fragrant and delicious, so she asked Zhidong to make it.

After Zhidong ate the fried eggplant box, he knew what the filling was like. He added some other side dishes and turned the fried eggplant box into an eggplant feast.

There are some with shrimp, pork, and vegetarian fillings. They even made it with sweet potatoes. It was sweet and crisp. Tang Bingxuan and a few little ones cheered loudly after eating it.

I was tired of eating too much fried food. Since the eggplant box banquet that day, Zhaoxiayuan had not cooked it again. This time when Tang Wenzhu mentioned it, Tang Bingxuan also wanted to eat it, so the fried eggplant box dish was also served to everyone. lunch table. The second lady saw that the five little ones were getting along very well with Tang Bingxuan, so she sat aside and watched coldly without interrupting. Even though the lunch dishes were rich and tasty, the second lady Zhang still had mixed flavors in her mouth, and she was not very happy.

After lunch, the fifth child left Zhaoxiayuan with only the eyesight, because as long as the eldest sister (eldest cousin) had nothing serious, a nap was absolutely necessary.

The second lady Zhang didn't achieve her goal and still stayed after lunch. Tang Bingxuan saw that the second lady had something to say but she kept hesitating. Now it was affecting her nap, she couldn't bear it and no longer needed to bear it!

"Second Aunt, is there anything else?" Tang Bingxuan said as tactfully as possible.

The second lady shamelessly stayed to eat and is still lingering. Her face turned red and she asked, "Is Xuan'er going to take a nap?"

Tang Bingxuan and the Second Madam spent a long time losing all their patience, and said seriously: "Second Aunt, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, otherwise my niece will have to take a nap."

The second lady saw that Tang Bingxuan was a little impatient, and she felt unhappy in her heart. How could a junior drive his elder away so directly? It was really disrespectful to the tutor.

However, thinking that he had something to ask for, he suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, my second aunt wants to open a shop on Dongda Street, so I came to you to ask for some recipes."

In the eyes of the second wife, the second wife of the Tang family is the poorest in the entire Duke's mansion. Of course, this is indeed a fact. The monthly allowance of one thousand taels of silver given to the second house by the father-in-law and the subsidy of one thousand taels of silver are just enough for the second lady. The second lady's dowry is not much, the harvest of the farm is small, and there are only two shops. Although it is not a loss, it is still a loss. Not much income.

The Second Madam, who was being treated with filial piety every day, took an eye on all the novelties in Tang Bingxuan's kitchen, and wanted some recipes to open a shop on East Street, the busiest street in Kyoto.

Tang Bingxuan didn't expect that her second aunt was planning on her own Fang Zi. Previously, she had thought about opening a shop to earn money to support her family after getting married. Besides, a good person should respect his elders and not forget the love between brothers and sisters, so he came directly to ask Fang Zi to open a shop. The nature is different.

The Second Madam is an elder, so it would be wrong to refuse directly. She thought carefully and said, "What kind of shop does Second Aunt want to open?"

Seeing that Tang Bingxuan didn't refuse directly, the second lady thought that there was a way to do this, and quickly replied: "Second aunt will open whatever shop Xuan'er gives her."

It turns out that you have to rely on your own recipes to set up shop and make a living. "Does Second Aunt have a recipe that you like more?"

"Second Auntie thinks the pastries made by Zhidong are delicious and innovative. What do Xuaner think?"

Tang Bingxuan's eldest girl Zhidong is a treasure. Not only does she make delicious snacks, but she also has good food and wine. If she has Zhidong, she can open at least three shops and definitely make a lot of money.

Privately, of course the second lady wanted Zhidong more, but Zhidong was Tang Bingxuan's girl, and she would probably marry her eldest niece to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, so the second lady could only ask for a few snack recipes.

Tang Bingxuan tried her best to be as gentle and respectful as possible: "Second Aunt, you are an elder who has come to ask for prescriptions for your niece to open a shop. Logically speaking, my niece should not refuse."

Without waiting for the second lady to say anything, Tang Bingxuan added: "It's just that my niece will marry the third master of Yongninghou Mansion in the future. The third master Jiang is a dandy known to everyone in Kyoto. He only knows how to spend money but not make money. My niece has long planned to do so." After we get married, we will open a snack shop to support our family."

Since Jiang Shunian sent him back to the Great Buddha Temple last time, Tang Bingxuan probably knew that he had a hidden identity, so she probably didn't have to worry too much about his family finances in the future;
It's not unreasonable to give some dim sum recipes to family members, but it's unreasonable to give a few recipes to my second aunt for free to open a shop.

Besides, it is not enough to open a shop with just a few prescriptions. For the future development of the dim sum shop, it is imperative to innovate and bring forth the new. Second Aunt wants a few prescriptions now, and there is no guarantee that she will ask for them again in the future. Tang Bingxuan does not dare to follow the principle taught by her grandfather: rice benevolence rises rice enmity. forget.

The Second Madam did not expect that Tang Bingxuan would also open a snack shop, but she still refused to give up and said: "Then why don't you give Second Aunt some brewing recipes?"

Tang Bingxuan smiled and continued in a warm voice: "Second Aunt, Zhidong's winemaking is based on the wine that her grandfather Wang has brewed for several years. The cost of this aged wine is not low; this cherry wine, plum wine , osmanthus wine are all brewed according to the season, and the prices of fruits and other raw materials are not cheap."

After hearing what Tang Bingxuan said, the Second Madam herself thought that the cost of opening a wine shop would be too high. She didn't have much spare money on hand, and the rent for the shop on East Street was one or two thousand taels a year at least. She was sure of it. Can't start.

But she was unwilling to let herself go without success, so she continued with a smile: "Second Aunt also suddenly thought of opening a shop to supplement the family income. I haven't thought about it carefully yet, but with a few recipes in hand, opening a shop is just around the corner."

Tang Bingxuan had always known that her second aunt was cautious and a bit petty compared to her mother Liu and third aunt Xiao Shao. Unexpectedly, she was also thick-skinned. After saying so much, she still wanted to ask for the prescription in vain.
