Great Blue Night Watchman

What? Your second brother is getting married, are you a little disappointed? Do you want to get married too? Sister Chen laughed softly.

I'm thinking about one thing. Why is the Qu family so anxious?

Isn't it difficult to explain? The Lin family is making money every day, and you and the second young master are so handsome. You are both destined to be in the top ten. Who in the world doesn't want to catch a wealthy son-in-law like you? He is afraid of being overtaken by others. .”

Probably so!

I hope so!

Lin Su smiled: Then do you want to be the first? Oh, no, you have already been the first...

Sister Chen gave him a look that was infinitely charming and wanted to bite him...

What day is today on the twelfth lunar month?

nineteen!

There are only ten days left before the Chinese New Year. Well, I have to make preparations. In this way, you call Xiaoyao and we go out to buy some things...

What to buy? This year in the Lin Mansion is different from previous years. You have a lot of money and have already bought all kinds of food and clothing materials. Is there anything else that you, Third Young Master Lin, need to buy personally?

Although Sister Chen didn't quite understand, she was still very obedient. She happily walked out of the courtyard, found Xiaoyao, and told her that the master said he would take you out to buy food. Xiaoyao threw the clothes in her hand to her. Xiao Ju almost put Xiao Ju’s head into the clothes and ran away. On the way, she shouted: Sister Xiao Ju, please help me wash the clothes and I will bring you delicious food later...

The three of them left Lin's Mansion and went to the streets. The streets were getting busier and busier. The New Year was approaching and wealthy families were doing big shopping. Even the poor families, who had been busy and miserable for a year, were thinking about the New Year. Make a dress out of three feet of cloth for your mother-in-law, add some snacks for your children, buy a piece of red paper and ask your husband to write the word blessing to add some luck to next year.

Merchants on the street have brought in more goods, and various things have been placed at the door to attract customers. Vendors from all walks of life are also pushing carts along the street to sell...

There were also people talking about it all the way...

This year is really a ghost, and the homeless people on the riverbank actually came to buy new year's goods.

Yes, yes, they are wearing new clothes, you can't even tell that they are refugees.

What exactly is going on?

Someone just said it, but everyone still doesn’t know, right? The riverside has changed a lot. The little old man is in the east of the city. My daughter-in-law was originally a refugee. She went home a few days ago and originally wanted to give something to her old parents at home to prevent her parents from freezing to death and starving to death. , Unexpectedly, the riverside has been greatly changed. A wide road has been built, and her parents' family actually built a house. It is not a thatched house, but a house made of a magical cement. There is also a stove in the house. Does anyone know what is burning? coal! This coal is a high-end item in the city, and there are hundreds of them at her parents' house! When the fire started, the whole house was warm. My grandson went with his mother and still refuses to come back...

How can it be? Old Zhangtou, what are you talking about? Who doesn’t know about river beach? Can they afford coal? I can't even afford to burn it, so stop joking.

Lao Zhangtou said, you will know with your own eyes when you see it. Let me tell you, I’m preparing to pack up and go to my in-laws’ place to celebrate the New Year. It’s really too cold in the house here…

Lao Zhangtou left, and everyone looked at each other in confusion. There was a small restaurant in front of him, and some people in the restaurant were talking about the river beach. Why did such a big change happen on the river beach? It's because of Third Young Master Lin. Everyone has said that Third Young Master Lin is the literary star in the sky. Wherever he goes, there will be changes. Some time ago, he went to the river beach and used literary and magical powers to turn stones into gold...

Lin Su and the others walked along the way and heard countless nonsense along the way...

Some people say that Mr. Lin went down the river embankment and turned the stones in the river into gold.

Some people say that when the Third Young Master went up the mountain, all the stones on the mountain turned into gold.

Some people say, shopkeeper, if you invite the Third Young Master to come to your rice noodle shop and turn your table into gold, won’t you get rich?

The shopkeeper smiled, don't mention it, there are hundreds of restaurants built in Haining Tower in the whole city, isn't it the Third Young Master's Baiyunbian? In addition, Boss Ding has obtained the authorization of Sangongzi Coal. He accounts for 30% of the coal sales points in Haining City, and he makes a lot of money every day...

Suddenly, a voice came: Shopkeeper, do you have any good white noodles?

When the shopkeeper turned around, he saw Lin Su with two women. He was stunned: Lin... Third Young Master Lin!

The eyes of everyone watching suddenly lit up. The person they were discussing just now suddenly appeared.

Third Young Master, do you want to buy some white noodles?

yes!

Yes, yes! the shopkeeper said, The new goods have just arrived, from the north. How much do you want, Mr. Third? I will send them to the Lin Mansion immediately.

Let's get five hundred pounds. Also, do you have honey?

Sugar does not exist in this world, but there is a substitute called honey, which is extracted from honey. The price is extremely expensive. The price is as high as three coins per kilogram. Most people cannot afford it. Therefore, in ordinary rice and noodle shops, There isn't much inventory either.

Third Young Master, you really have found the right person. There really aren't any stores like honey, but the little old man just bought a batch. How many do you want, Young Master?

Let's get thirty or fifty pounds!

Thirty-five... ten pounds? The shopkeeper was stunned.

What? Not so much?

The store has just arrived at thirty pounds. I wonder if the young master wants so much honey... is it useful?

I'm just making some snacks. Isn't it the Chinese New Year? All the girls in my family are foodies. I'm under a lot of pressure...

There is a hint of sparkle in the corner of Xiaoyao's mouth, perfectly interpreting her true nature as a foodie.

Sister Chen looked at her, smiling so hard that her eyebrows arched...

Lin Su and the other three went out, and the shopkeeper delivered goods simultaneously. The onlookers looked at each other in confusion, and the topic changed.

Those two women just now are his little girls, right?

Yes, at least this little one is. When Mr. Lin went to Haining House to attend the poetry festival, this little girl was with him. Now that the Lin family is prosperous, this little girl has also become prosperous. She spends her money shopping everywhere all day long. I've searched all over Haining City for food. Do you think any girl can live such a nourishing life?

Some people sighed, you probably don’t know yet, right? Third Young Master Lin announced just last month that each of his maids and servants would be paid no less than 2 taels of silver per month.

ah? Two taels a month? This is higher than the income of a main laborer!

is not that right? Mei Niang, the girl next door to my house, turned out to be a cook for the Hou Mansion. After the Hou Mansion was in trouble, she returned to her natal family. Just because she sent a bag of noodles to the Lin Mansion, the Lin Mansion let her go back after it became prosperous. This time she went back. No, she became one of the managers of the Lin Mansion. Her monthly salary of 4 taels of silver was rewarded by the madam at every turn. Her natal sister-in-law, who used to be picky about her, now behaves like a grandson when she sees her...

In the Lin Mansion, the materials were all ready, and Lin Su subversively entered the kitchen again.

Mei Niang cleared the chopping board with a smile and made way for Lin Su.

Lin Su began to design various New Year cakes.

During the Chinese New Year, there has to be a bit of a Chinese New Year atmosphere. It’s fine without firecrackers. What would it be called a New Year without snacks?

There are really too many snacks in his mind, but at this stage, he can only use small methods...

The first batch is mainly fried snacks, which are easy to store.

The sesame seeds were heated up, filling the courtyard with fragrance. The sugar melted, and there was a sweet fragrance in the air. Xiaoyao stood beside Lin Su, looking up with her face raised, and the sparkle at the corner of her mouth appeared again.

Who will take Xiaoyao out for me? The saliva is almost flowing into my face...

Xiaoyue smiled and pulled Xiaoyao away, but Xiaoyao still refused and shouted at the door: Master, if I don't want to drool, I will just take a look...

There was laughter in the kitchen.

Soon, the first batch of sesame candies were freshly baked. Lin Su gave full play to his love for Xiao Yao. With a move of his hand, Xiao Yue relaxed her control over Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao ran to Lin Su.

Here, you can taste this first piece.

Xiaoyao was so happy: Young master, you are so kind.

I licked the sesame candy, took a bite, and narrowed my eyes with joy...

Everyone tasted one piece after another, and they were all full of praise.

The second snack is twists, which contain less sugar but are more crispy.

The third item is pastry, which is made from rice flour with some sesame and saccharin. It is soft and fragrant. Mei Niang and Xiaoxue jumped for joy when they tasted it. This lady must like it - I must say that there is a reason why the lady likes them both. , they think about Madam in everything.

The fourth thing...

The fifth thing...

Lin Su designed eight kinds of pastries in one go, each of which appeals to people's taste buds and each has its own unique flavor.

Finally, Lin Su came up with the finale: dumplings!

The white-flowered dumplings were tumbling in the pot with seasonings on the side. Everyone praised them as soon as they tasted them. The rest of the pastries were just pastries, but these dumplings could become a staple food.

Okay, that's all for now. In the next time, you can make dozens or hundreds of kilograms of each, save some for the New Year, and share some with everyone, so they can take it home and taste it with their parents.

As the news spread, the girls had tears in their eyes.

They all have the honor of being members of the Lin family.

Who among other girls can have such an honor? You can also share the best food with your host family and bring it to your parents...

It is foreseeable that the parents will be reluctant to eat the unique food they bring to their parents. They will regard this honor as the best thing in the New Year to entertain the most distinguished guests.

On the attic, the autumn water painting screen faces Guitang: In the dark night, someone is thinking about a lot of fresh food, and it smells really good.

A voice from the dark night came: I understand what you mean, let's go steal it in the middle of the night!

Qiushui Huaping slapped him on the forehead. I must take a look to see how you steal...

Late at night.

Lin Su looked up at the crescent moon outside the window, thinking about whether to sleep with Sister Chen or call Dark Night, when there was a knock on the door.

Which chick? It must not be An Ye. An Ye had to do this with him to avoid knocking on the door. The person came in directly through the window. It must be Sister Chen. She tasted it last night. Can't she help it?

Lin Su's door opened, and a beautiful woman in green stood outside.

It’s actually green!

Sir, I want to tell you something.

Come!

The door opened, and Lu Yi turned around and closed the door. Lin Su's heart beat lightly.

The dark night in the attic and the autumn water painting screen also made my heart skip a beat, damn! One didn't pay attention, and another one appeared?

Green Yi stood on tiptoes and whispered something into Lin Su's ear. Lin Su was stunned.

Master, you should make a decision immediately, without delaying for a moment...

Green clothes left the room.

The two people in the attic looked at each other, which song were they playing? With their cultivation, they could see everything in Lin Su's room, but Lu Yi's movements were too fast and her words were too soft. She had already withdrawn before they had time to pay deep attention.

As midnight approached, An Ye went downstairs. Why did he go? As I said during the day, I stole food! Her figure flashed into the kitchen, and the next moment, she completely disappeared.

Qiushui Huaping, who was observing secretly, was also stunned. Where was the person? Where have you gone?

Suddenly, she observed that there was an extra person in Lin Su's room. With her painting skills, she didn't know when this person appeared.

Qiushui Huaping's eyes widened, Oh my God, An Ye, you used your peerless magical power to steal...man! You are cruel!

At dawn, Dark Night came back, bringing back a large bag of various snacks, which he shared with Qiu Shui Huaping in the attic. Qiu Shui Huaping looked at the bag with a confused expression: Did you steal this last night?

Yeah! An Ye buried his head in eating snacks.

Why have you been gone so long?

Well, I missed it, got caught, and spent the whole night struggling to get something to eat. It's not easy...

Qiushui Huaping held his face directly: Master of the sky-peeping realm, would you like to have some facial expressions?

Still talking about me! What about you? I'm warning you, don't think I didn't notice! I don't care what you think about him playing with others. If you dare to peek again when he is playing with me, I will just lift the quilt to see who can't stand it... …”

I can't stay here anymore, I want to go home... Qiushui Huaping packed her things and was about to leave. She really couldn't stay here. If she continued like this, it would really ruin her career. She was a painter, but she was so pure at heart. Yes, she couldn't stand it anymore after being teased left and right by this group of shameless people...

An Ye smiled there: Do you really want to leave?

We have to go!

Then let's go...I'll go see how he opens Wenlu...

Qiushui Huaping was suddenly shocked: Kaiwen Road?

Well, he told me last night that you guys are bored every day, so I need to find something for you to do. I asked him what he planned to find for us to do, and he said that he would start a literary career and then write something. , give us entertainment and entertainment...

Qiushui Huaping was completely stunned.

The purpose of opening a literary path was because the beauties in the West Courtyard were a little bored, so he planned to write something for the beauties to kill time.

Saints, are there such monsters in the world?

Is this how Wen Road is opened?

All over the world, there are so many people with extremely high literary minds who are almost paranoid about starting a literary career. Some of them have been thinking for hundreds of years and still can't do it, but he actually plans to do it! He's not even a literary figure, he's just a civil servant!

Moreover, his reason for opening Wenlu was so ridiculous!

To please a beautiful woman.

Saints, are you really not going to accept such monsters?
