Chapter 94
Chu Xiaomeng had been on strike for half a month. She finally felt better and was able to get up and walk, so she rested for two more days. She was melancholy thinking about how to tell Eunuch Cheng what she meant. In any case, she didn't want to go back.
After finishing her original job, she wanted to change to another job. Fortunately, Eunuch Cheng really followed her wishes and dropped her into Nanyun Pavilion.
The errands in Nanyun Pavilion are not difficult. When Chu Xiaomeng entered Nanyun Pavilion for the first time, she thought she had entered a library. The amount of books there was really amazing. Some of them were as thick as more than ten centimeters. They were neatly arranged in the library.
On the bookshelves, there was a sign hanging on each bookshelf. Chu Xiaomeng couldn't understand the words on it, but she guessed that it should be the category of the book. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to find such books, which can range from tens of thousands of volumes.
While Chu Xiaomeng was admiring, she also thought that it was lucky that she was only responsible for cleaning, otherwise it would really be fatal to sort out this collection of thousands of books.
Paper books cannot be wiped directly with a wet cloth, and the cloth cannot be too dry for fear that the dust will not be wiped away. Fortunately, there are special treatments, and Chu Xiaomeng does not need to wipe every book in this way. But the bamboo archives are
She had to wipe the volumes one by one and put them back in their original place. The bookshelf was quite high, and Chu Xiaomeng would be busy for a long time just by moving these volumes.
There were tables and chairs inside the house and in the courtyard. There was also a pond of red and black carp in the courtyard. After Chu Xiaomeng cleaned up and down, she sat directly by the small pond, sprinkled some bait into the pond, and then watched them scramble for the first place.
Robbing fish food, this scene could keep Chu Xiaomeng watching here all afternoon.
The only thing Chu Xiaomeng couldn't worry about was the little monster in the main courtyard. She changed her job, and there must be someone else to do her job. She just didn't know if the little monster was afraid of strangers, and whether that person gave the little monster some food.
of.
Thinking about it, she hadn't seen the monsters in more than ten days. Chu Xiaomeng knew that there was no one in the main courtyard, so she ran directly to the backyard to look for the monsters.
The kitten was so excited when she saw her that it turned out its belly and wanted Chu Xiaomeng to rub it. Chu Xiaomeng saw some dried fish placed in front of the little monster's nest, thinking that the little guy must not be hungry.
of.
She was quite reluctant to let go of the little monster, but if she was asked to run here every day, wouldn't it be the same as before? She thought that if Prince Yan came back one day, she would go to him. She wanted to raise the little guy herself.
Prince Yan should not be stingy either.
She brought food to the kitten and changed the water in the basin. She didn't leave the main courtyard until the little guy lazily took a nap in the sun. After that, she went back to Yongqinyuan to get some things and went to find Master Nanfeng.
Already.
In any case, someone helped her make a swing, and it has been a while now. Chu Xiaomeng felt that she should express some gratitude.
The second time she came here, Chu Xiaomeng felt more comfortable than the first time. She greeted the young masters with a smile, and then asked them if Master Nanfeng was here.
From the moment they saw Chu Xiaomeng, those young masters all had smiles on their faces. Chu Xiaomeng had seen that look many times. They were clearly watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, but every one of them was smiling.
She didn't know how to restrain herself, which kept the embarrassment on Chu Xiaomeng's face.
After waiting for a while, Master Nanfeng came hurriedly from the back room, his hands still dripping with water. He had obviously just washed his hands in a hurry, but he had forgotten that there were some sawdust on his face. His anxious look made Chu Xiaomeng confused.
Made me laugh.
He hurriedly shouted to Master Nanfeng not to worry, which made Master Nanfeng's face turn red. After all, it was because all of his junior brothers had strange smiles on their faces, not to mention Master Nanfeng, even Chu Xiaomeng.
Something feels weird.
Just when she was wondering if she could change her place, Master Nanfeng invited her to the backyard to talk. After all, there were many people here, and they were all doing wood work, and there was too much sawdust and dust.
Chu Xiaomeng was so eager that she carried her things and followed the people to the backyard.
Unexpectedly, there were also some wooden furniture placed in the backyard. It seemed that Master Nanfeng had just been working on these things.
Nanfeng simply cleared some tables and made some tea for Chu Xiaomeng, and then started talking seriously.
"Master Nanfeng, your craftsmanship is so good. My little swing was made flawlessly, much better than I expected. I should have come over earlier to say thank you, but I fell ill and delayed it. I hope
Don't be offended, Master Nanfeng." Chu Xiaomeng said, then handed over a snack box and gently pushed it towards Master Nanfeng.
Nanfeng didn't expect that Chu Xiaomeng would come over to express his gratitude for this. His beautiful eyebrows were smiling with a smile, full of surprise, and he immediately replied: "Young lady, you are serious. It is your responsibility, and you must not take credit. However, I also
I'm really confused. I still don't know if the girl is satisfied with the little swing, and I don't know if there is anything that needs to be modified. Since the girl likes it, it's the best."
Chu Xiaomeng immediately nodded and replied: "Satisfied, very well done. Master Nanfeng, this is my little thought, thank you."
Nanfeng did not refuse, took it, opened the food box and took a look, and was surprised by the small pastries inside.
This was specially made by Chu Xiaomeng. She had tried making snow-skin mooncakes before, but there was no mold here, so she simply shaped them into the shape of a little rabbit. The tender rabbit had red eyes, and she patted it with a spoon.
It's also very soft and elastic, and tastes very good. It's only because it didn't overturn that Chu Xiaomeng dared to take it out as a thank you gift.
"This...is this made by a girl?" Nan Feng's eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect that Chu Xiaomeng was not only proficient in tea and painting but also had such skills. She was really surprised.
Chu Xiaomeng nodded and handed Nan Feng a spoon, asking him to have a taste now. Nan Feng was very pleasantly surprised. Seeing Chu Xiaomeng's expectant look, he didn't worry and just dug a handful.
Once you eat the small piece of soft and tender skin, you will be full of praise.
Chu Xiaomeng smiled and said that he was perfunctory and hadn't eaten the filling yet, and urged him to try it again.
It contains honey red beans pickled the day before yesterday. Chu Xiaomeng grinds them into red bean paste and turns it into lotus paste. It tastes sweet and glutinous. In addition, the skin of the snowskin mooncake is smooth and soft, and the texture is quite good.
.
The girls in Yongqinyuan were able to take it orally again. Chu Xiaomeng cooked several pots in one go and ate them among the people in the yard. She also sent some to Eunuch Cheng. After eating, she didn’t say anything was not delicious.
Chu Xiaomeng ate several of them herself and thought they tasted good, but when it comes to cooking, you can only know what it's like by listening to other people's comments. Of course, it feels good to be praised by others.
After tasting it, Nanfeng said it was delicious and praised Chu Xiaomeng for her ingenuity and exquisite craftsmanship. Chu Xiaomeng was very satisfied with the praise and was not stingy in praising Nanfeng's craftsmanship.
Nanfeng asked Chu Xiaomeng again, since he has such exquisite craftsmanship, why not open a small restaurant outside? It would be such a waste of this craftsmanship.
Chu Xiaomeng has always had this idea. Isn't it because the money is not in her pocket? And she had just escaped from the Chu Mansion at that time. The Chu Mansion sent many people to hunt her down, and there was no way for her and Dan Qing to fly away.
Lost it, and ended up penniless. When I entered Prince Yan's Mansion, I came here to make money. Isn't it because I still don't have enough money?
Of course, Chu Xiaomeng did not tell Nanfeng so much about her bad things. She only said that she had this intention, but she was not ready yet.
Nanfeng seemed to encourage Chu Xiaomeng to realize her dream, and supported her in opening her own restaurant, saying that he would definitely go and patronize it.
While chatting, they talked about several famous stores in the capital. Nanfeng is from the capital. He grew up in the capital, so he naturally knows the capital very well. He did some analysis for Chu Xiaomeng. Is it better to open a restaurant in the south or in the north?
Okay. Then he talked about a friend of his who also opened a restaurant in the capital, but his family had a change and he would be moving out of the capital soon. The store was looking for someone to take over, and probably a lot of things were going to be sold.
Chu Xiaomeng became interested. She had no experience in opening a store. Not to mention whether she could take over a restaurant, it would be good to just go and learn from it.
Nanfeng generously gave Chu Xiaomeng the address. Chu Xiaomeng made a note of it in her mind, thinking that she must go and ask when she goes out next time.
"Girl, just call me Nanfeng. If you can't call me a master, it seems too unfamiliar." Nanfeng said.
Chu Xiaomeng thought for a while and agreed. Nanfeng looked very young, and the master's shout seemed to call people old.
"Then you call me Xiaomeng, let's make friends. If you need help in the future, just come to me. If I can help, I will definitely help." Chu Xiaomeng likes to make friends, and she has advocated doing things bravely for justice since she was a child, and being a friend and a brother
She is very willing to do whatever it takes. Besides, Nanfeng is so capable and teaches her some tricks, so it is not a bad idea to have this friend.
Unexpectedly, after Chu Xiaomeng said these words, Nanfeng also responded. After that, his face turned into a difficult and hesitant look. Chu Xiaomeng thought that there was something that really needed her help.
"Nanfeng, do you want my help with something? Just say it, even if you help me so much, I also want to do something for you." Chu Xiaomeng is most afraid of owing favors, thinking about what if she
It would be good to do something to help Nanfeng.
Nan Feng hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's not a big deal. The master is still outside, busy with work here and can't leave. I thought of something that I haven't sent to my family. Little cute girl, if you
I'm leaving the house, could you please help me with this?"
After hearing this, Chu Xiaomeng readily agreed. What did she think it was? She was just delivering something for someone. It was not a difficult task. But it was difficult for her to leave the house. She also agreed to it easily by Prince Yan last time.
Even if I don't know how to leave the house, I will tell him.
But thinking of that person, Chu Xiaomeng felt very strange. These days, she deliberately didn't let herself think of him, but she always dreamed of him at night.
It had been so long since they last saw each other, and the anger in her heart was almost gone. Why didn't that person come back?
Just thinking about it like this made Chu Xiaomeng feel even more unhappy. He just left without leaving a message. If the illness took her life after half a month, he might not be able to catch up.
