Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 62 Thinking of Countermeasures

Surprise flashed in Li Kaishi's eyes, and then he understood, and smiled awkwardly: "My lord, your action is fast enough."

"Don't be sloppy, we are here this time because we need you to do something," Song Ning glanced at Han Duyue with a smile, and then pulled the matter out, "I want you to find someone to visit the Yang family. Invite Second Miss Yang out."

Han Duyue explained from the side: "I want to ask shopkeeper Li to help me with this favor. If I can help, I am naturally grateful to shopkeeper Li. If I can't help, don't worry about shopkeeper Li."

"I'm sorry for Miss Han's words. It's just that I'm not familiar with the second young lady of the Yang family. I don't know what kind of words Miss Han will help me bring over?" I also like Han Duyue quite a lot, at a young age, not to mention smart, but also polite, how can this not attract people's attention?
But what Li Kaishi admires the most is Han Duyue's decisiveness and clear distinction between love and hate.

You must know that in this world, filial piety is like a big rock on your head. Even if the elders go too far, you have to endure it. Not everyone has the courage to do what Han Duyue did.

Han Duyue thought for a while, and said: "If you really see Miss Yang Er, you can say that I have something to do with her. If she doesn't believe it, you can talk to her about the 'birthday ceremony' and 'embroidery' again. In short, this matter will trouble the shopkeeper Li."

"Miss Han, you're welcome, I'll do it now." Li Kaishi smiled and withdrew.

Song Ning sat with Han Duyue for a while, then got up and said, "I remembered that I still have some things to do, and I will come to accompany you later."

"Well, go get busy and leave me alone." Han Duyue nodded repeatedly, she didn't want to delay Song Ning's business because of herself.

Han Duyue just sat in the private room for about a stick of incense before waiting for shopkeeper Li and Yang Shuyuan who followed behind him.

Yang Shuyuan didn't feel completely relieved until the moment she saw Han Duyue: "I thought it was something before, but it turned out that you were looking for me."

"Miss Han and Ms. Yang are chatting slowly, and I will go down first." Li Kaishi smiled and opened his mouth, leaving room for the two of them to whisper in a very considerate manner.

Han Duyue pulled Yang Shuyuan to sit down, greeted each other a few words, and then asked bluntly: "Shuyuan, did you finish the embroidery you asked shopkeeper Liang to do for you?"

"It's already done. I took it back two days ago. Why do you ask about this?" Yang Shuyuan obviously didn't know what was going on here.

Han Duyue sighed, and explained in great detail about Yang Shuyu's previous visit, and finally asked: "...What do you think is the most likely problem?"

Yang Shuyuan had put away the smile on her face, she thought for a while, and suddenly showed a look of enlightenment: "I remembered, last night Xiuju told me that she seemed to see Lan Er looking through my cage, Perhaps it was at that time that she saw the embroidery!"

Hearing this, Han Duyue breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably: "In this case, it shouldn't be the shopkeeper Liang's problem?"

"Shopkeeper Liang should not be that kind of person." Yang Shuyuan said with some uncertainty.

Han Duyue nodded, now is not the time to think about these things, the most important thing is the issue of the birthday gift: "Shuyuan, since your sister already knows about the embroidery, I'm afraid it won't work."

Yang Shuyuan naturally understands this truth, but it's such a pity, and it will be her father's birthday banquet soon, and she can't think of other ways at all.

"The solution is figured out by people, so don't worry." Han Duyue patted Yang Shuyuan's hand reassuringly, thinking about this question in her heart.

Since it was a birthday present for Yang Shuyuan's father, besides showing it to others, the most important thing was to satisfy Yang Shuyuan's father.

"Shuyuan, besides dancing and writing, does your father have any other hobbies?" Yang Shuyuan naturally knows much more about this issue than she does.

Yang Shuyuan thought for a while, but shook her head bitterly: "Actually, I don't see my father very often, so apart from knowing that he always likes poetry, I don't know his other hobbies very well."

Han Duyue is a little speechless, her daughter doesn't even see her father very often, is this still called father and daughter?
"Since this is the case, let's think about popular methods. There are many ways to express filial piety and celebrate birthdays." Han Duyue rolled his eyes and began to give examples. Write the Chinese characters for longevity in different fonts, and then embroider them; another example is couplets with good meanings; and clothes for the elders made by yourself... I think there are many ways, and it’s okay for us to take the usual way.”

Yang Shuyuan looked at Han Duyue uncertainly: "I can make a picture of a hundred years of life, but although it looks simple, it will take a lot of time. As for the clothes, I don't have time to prepare any more... ..."

This is a problem, Han Duyue is also a little worried, the day after tomorrow is Master Yang's birthday, time is tight, even if he has a good idea, it may not be realized in such a short time.

What is something new and ready in two days?
Han Duyue racked his brains to think about what would appear in the old man's birthday in modern times. When something flashed through his mind, Han Duyue's eyes lit up.

"Shuyuan, do you know what people here eat when they celebrate their birthday?" Han Duyue excitedly took Yang Shuyuan's hand and asked.

Yang Shuyuan was a bit puzzled by the question, she thought for a while, and said, "It's probably much richer than usual, after all, it's for a banquet."

"No, that's not what I mean. I want to ask if there are any iconic foods when celebrating birthdays? That is, this kind of food is only eaten when someone celebrates their birthday, and they don't usually eat it. Hurry up Think about it, is there such a thing?" Han Duyue explained and continued to ask.

Yang Shuyuan frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head: "I really can't think of such a thing. I have also been to some senior birthday parties in the town before, but I have never seen such a thing."

"That's great!" Han Qingmei clapped her hands happily.

Hearing this, Yang Shuyuan was even more puzzled: "Xiaoyue, what do you mean? Why do I become more and more confused the more I listen?"

"I know a kind of food, which may not be available here. This kind of food may be a gift for you to celebrate your uncle's birthday." Thinking of the solution, Han Duyue immediately relaxed a lot, and a little slyness appeared on his face.

Yang Shuyuan also laughed: "Then tell me quickly, what kind of food are you thinking of? I can get someone to arrange it as soon as possible."

"Birthday cake, I'm talking about birthday cake!" Birthday cake is actually a kind of cake, but the pattern on it has changed to birthday peach, which is specially used for birthday banquets.

Yang Shuyuan frowned again: "Birthday cake? Why haven't I heard of this kind of food?"

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it. You'll know when I make this kind of thing." Han Duyue said confidently.

Although she was not a pastry chef in her previous life, she once DIYed in the cake room with her classmates because she thought it was interesting, so she personally experienced the whole process of cake making and made a decent little cake.

At this moment, Han Duyue was really thankful for her past experience, otherwise, even if she thought of this idea, she would never be able to do it.

Although Yang Shuyuan relaxed a little because of Han Duyue's words, she still had some concerns in her heart: "Xiaoyue, can the birthday cake you mentioned really be a birthday gift? It's not that I don't believe you, but it's just a kind of food after all... ..."

Han Duyue calmed down from her own thoughts and realized this problem. Leaving aside whether this kind of thing will be welcomed by everyone, it just depends on whether it is just a kind of food, and it may not be able to appear as a birthday gift.

She thought for a while, and suggested, "Well, let's use birthday cakes as a spare gift, and for more serious ones, use the hundred-shou picture."

"But now our time is running out." Yang Shuyuan sighed.

Han Duyue smiled and patted Yang Shuyuan's arm: "I think the essence of the hundred longevity pictures is not embroidery, but the hundred longevity characters in different fonts, so can we invite some embroiderers to help embroider these Character?"

"In this way, will it appear that I am disrespectful to my father?" Yang Shuyuan asked doubtfully.

Han Duyue didn't have any idea about it, but she was just making suggestions, and the final decision-making power still rests with Yang Shuyuan: "That's what I said, if you think it's inappropriate, then we'll think of other ways, just Time is running out after all.”

Yang Shuyuan bit her lower lip and remained silent for a while, before she finally decided: "Just follow what you said, I'll write the hundred-shou picture first, and as for the embroidered lady, I want to ask Shopkeeper Liang for help."

"Is Shopkeeper Liang really reliable?" Han Duyue had to ask one more question.

Yang Shuyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Han Duyue didn't say anything more: "I don't care about the Baishoutu. I want to study the method of birthday cake first, and I will tell you when I have results."

"This matter will trouble you, Xiaoyue, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do." Yang Shuyuan looked at Han Duyue sincerely, her eyes full of gratitude.

Han Duyue just smiled indifferently, and sent Yang Shuyuan out.

As soon as Yang Shuyuan left, Song Ning came back: "How did your discussion go?"

Han Duyue didn't know what Song Ning was doing before, but now that he heard him ask this question, he told the situation without any concealment: "We decided to use the hundred-shou picture as a birthday gift, but I want to try again Make a food, maybe it can be a gift too."

"What are you going to try?" Song Ning was not at all interested in the Yang family's birthday banquet, but was more interested in what Han Duyue was about to try.

Han Duyue blinked deliberately and slyly: "It's something that you don't have here at all, and I think there may be a lot of business opportunities hidden in this thing."

"Business opportunities?" Song Ning's eyes lit up. As a qualified businessman, he naturally didn't want to miss any business opportunities.

Han Duyue's smile suddenly became brighter, and she didn't explain in detail, so she directly dragged Song Ning out: "Let's go, let's go to shopkeeper Li to discuss this matter, and he still needs his help in this matter."

Looking at her sleeves being pulled by Han Duyue, Song Ning's eyes became even brighter.
