Chapter 386 Peanut Crisp
Bearing the air-conditioning from King Kaiyang, Aunt Dou still ate deliciously.
It’s good that King Kaiyang is favored by the emperor, but their mother is also favored by the emperor, how can the majestic prince treat her as an old mother for a bite?
It is rare to go out of the palace, and you have already eaten, so it is only worthwhile to eat well.
After Mammy Dou finished eating a pot of delicious mutton, she asked red beans for green salt and other things to rinse her mouth, and the beggar chicken wrapped in a mud shell was packed and brought over.
Along with the beggar chicken, there is also a small plate of peanut crisps.
With the precedent of giving red date cake last time, and the mutton in the water basin just now was really satisfying, Aunt Dou took the food box without asking, and returned to the palace in a happy mood.
In Yuhua Palace, the heating is warm, and Concubine Xiao is lazily leaning on the beauty couch, enjoying the singing and dancing.
"Mother, Mother Dou is back."
Concubine Xiao Gui nodded slightly, signaling to bring the person in.
Nurse Dou carried the food box and walked lightly on the gorgeous gold silk carpet. She was still some distance away from Concubine Xiao before she bowed her knees and saluted: "Your Majesty, the servant is back."
"Is it lively outside the palace?" Concubine Xiao Gui was not in a hurry to let the maid take over the food box from Nanny Dou, and asked casually.
Once the monthly beggar chicken becomes a routine, the thoughts fade away.
However, Concubine Xiao Gui felt that listening to Nanny Dou talk about the affairs outside the palace was somewhat interesting.
Nurse Dou then talked about what she had seen and heard after leaving the palace. When she talked about a restaurant, she specifically mentioned King Kaiyang.
Concubine Xiao's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a hint of interest: "King Kaiyang was already there when you went?"
"Yes, I see that King Kaiyang is very familiar with Miss Luo."
Concubine Xiao Gui squinted her eyes and recalled the situation when she was in Beihe paddock, and the corners of her lips curled up.
It is said that Miss Luo is willful and brainless, a fool, but in her opinion, she is a clever person with means.
Concubine Xiao Gui raised her chin at the servant girl.
The palace maid walked over, took the food box from Nanny Dou and presented it.
The beggar chicken that I had to bring back every time I went out of the palace naturally did not attract Concubine Xiao's attention, she set her sights on the plate of peanut cakes.
"Is this dim sum from a restaurant?"
Nurse Dou nodded hurriedly: "Just in time for the new peanut cakes, Miss Luo asked the servants to bring some for the empress to taste."
"Miss Luo has a heart." Xiao Guifei said casually, picking up a piece of peanut cake.
The palace maid who was in charge of testing the dishes hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, let the servants taste it first."
Concubine Xiao put down the peanut crisps and nodded.
It's about safety, so she doesn't need to take risks.
After the maid in the palace tried it, Concubine Xiao Gui picked up a piece of peanut cake and tasted it, and said with a smile, "It's better than the ones made in the palace. Miss Luo's cook is very capable."
There is a wine shop here, Hongdou followed Luo Sheng's order to send Aunt Dou out, and came back after a while, and shouted cheerfully as soon as she entered the lobby: "Girl, there is a new makeup shop diagonally opposite."
Wei Han held the teacup, his heart skipped a beat.
Red Dou is so happy to open a new makeup shop. Could it be that Miss Luo likes rouge and gouache?
He couldn't help but look at Luo Sheng's reaction.
Luo Sheng didn't respond.
Hongdou was still happily talking: "The servant girl went in to have a look, and there are quite a lot of things inside, especially the scented dew, which has more than ten kinds of flavors, and there are some that girls like to use, but the servant girl sees that the quality is not as good as the girl's. , I didn’t buy it.”
Kuer couldn't help but said: "Since the quality is average, why are you excited?"
Hongdou gave her a white look: "The best dew in the shop is only a little worse than what the girl uses. If the girl doesn't use it, can't we buy it and use it for fun? Besides, the key is not what to buy, but to go shopping when you have nothing to do. "
Kuer was right when she heard it.
Luo Sheng smiled: "Then you two go shopping."
The two maids agreed, and went to visit the makeup shop happily together.
Shi Yan shook his head: "Didn't Kouer think that Red Dou was a waste of time just now, why did she happily follow her in the blink of an eye?"
The female shopkeeper who buried her head in the account book looked up and said with a smile: "Sanhuo, this is because you don't understand girls' minds. How can it be a waste of time to visit tailor shops, silver shops, and cosmetic shops? Watching other people go shopping is called a waste of time." It’s a waste of time, going shopping by yourself is called killing time.”
Shi Yan stared straight at his master.
Are all girls so complicated?
Wei Han looked at the bewildered little guard with complicated emotions.
From this point of view, Shi Yan doesn't know much more than him.
When it was almost time for the restaurant to open, Hongdou and Koer came back with a bunch of things each.
Shi Yan and others were naturally ignored, and Hongdou shouted: "The shopkeeper, Xiugu, come quickly, I bought you gifts."
The joy on the female shopkeeper's face couldn't be concealed: "Is there still mine?"
Although I have a lot of money since I have been with the boss, I feel completely different when I receive gifts from others during the Chinese New Year.
Xiuyue walked slowly into the lobby from the back.
"Xiu Gu, come and pick out the scented dew. We also bought a bottle to see what flavor you like." Hongdou shouted enthusiastically.
Xiuyue glanced at Luo Sheng.
At her age, her face is disfigured, and she has long lost interest in these things women like.
"Go and pick, it's Hongdou's wish."
Xiuyue just walked over and took a bottle of jasmine scented dew.
Soon it was time for the restaurant to open, and the drinkers came in one after another, and soon the lobby was full.
Brother Sheng Dalang pulled Su Yao over and found that there were no seats left.
It was Sheng Saburo who greeted the three of them.
"Brother, didn't I tell you that the restaurant business is good, so you should come early."
Sheng Dalang smiled with a good temper.
Sheng Erlang frowned: "Isn't it just according to what you said, whoever thought it would be full. Third brother, please find a place quickly, second brother Su hasn't eaten yet."
They have such a good relationship with Second Brother Su. Thinking about it, Second Brother Su hasn’t eaten even once these days, and I feel really sorry.
However, the second younger brother of Su, who is like a banished immortal, was bitten by a goose in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, so it is understandable that he does not want to go back in a short time.
Sheng Saburo showed a embarrassed expression: "The seats are all full now, and there is no way to make room."
As soon as Sheng Erlang raised his eyebrows, Sheng Sanlang said: "See the two old men at the table on the far east, one is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the other is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the next table is Lin Jijiu with his grandson, this is the Dali Temple Qing... oh, you also know King Kaiyang by the window, second brother, who do you want to make room for?"
Sheng Erlang rubbed his nose and fell silent.
Not to mention making room for others, he feels too brave to stand here.
What kind of restaurant does the cousin open?
"Third brother, isn't this a place where ordinary people come to eat?"
Sheng Saburo chuckled: "Ordinary people also have them, but they went bankrupt after eating two meals, and now they are chopping firewood in a wine shop."
Three people: "..."
Sheng Sanlang said in a low voice: "I think King Kaiyang is almost finished eating, why don't you wait for a while."
The three nodded in agreement.
Wei Han has good hearing, so he ordered another bowl of mutton, and ate it until the restaurant closed.
