He Lianjing hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, I'm not flattering you, I'm just sending delicious food to His Highness the Crown Prince, saying a few nice words by the way, and asking for a good job."
Ye Jiayao raised her hand to hit him again: "I think your skin is itchy."
"Come and eat the sweetened eggs..." Aunt Jiang came in with the sweetened eggs and said with a smile: "I heard that people here like to cook sweetened eggs when entertaining guests. They just follow the local customs."
He Lianjing was the first guest in the small courtyard, so Aunt Jiang naturally had to be more polite.
Ye Jiayao let him go for the time being and warned him with sharp eyes.
"Is there such a custom? This is the first time I've heard of it. I've eaten phoenix eggs, quail eggs, braised eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, and this is the first time I've eaten sugar-watered eggs. Oops, Aunt Jiang, what you laid is Double yolk eggs!" He Lianjing wanted to come here more often, so he got close to Aunt Jiang.
Ye Jiayao felt weird hearing this, and Aunt Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, I laid a double-yolked egg for the first time, which is a good sign."
At this time, Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunyu sprayed tea together.
He Lianjing didn't realize anything was wrong, so he looked at the two of them inexplicably: "What are you doing? Are you jealous that I have eggs to eat? Why don't we share the eggs? The eggs laid by Aunt Jiang are delicious, really." "
"No need to share, no need to share, there's still more in the pot, I'll bring it right away." Aunt Jiang left happily.
Ye Jiayao was laughing so hard that she couldn't get up from the table, but Xia Chunyu could still barely care about her image.
"Hey, why are you two so crazy?" He Lianjing became uneasy because of their laughter. He touched his face, but there was nothing on it!
"Aunt Jiang laid eggs, haha, I laughed so hard, it's my first time to lay eggs... Oops, I can't stand it anymore, my stomach hurts." Ye Jiayao held her stomach and laughed until she couldn't breathe.
Xia Chunyu had better self-control, so he suppressed his laughter and said with a smile: "Hens only lay eggs! Did you say that? But Aunt Jiang came up to me."
It was only then that He Lianjing came to his senses, burst into laughter, and then laughed forward and backward.
The last three people were holding bowls. Xia Chunyu said seriously to the two people who were still smoking: "Stop laughing and eat. These are the eggs laid by Aunt Jiang. They are very precious."
Phew, Ye Jiayao's smile that had finally stopped burst out again.
"No, my mouth hurts from laughing. You guys eat, I'll change my face and wash my clothes."
Xia Chunyu and Helianjing looked at her as if they were petrified.
"What are you looking at? I'll eat your food." Ye Jiayao glared at them angrily.
He Lianjing said blankly: "Yao Yao, it's better not to change your face! This face is quite good."
Ye Jiayao was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had made a slip of the tongue. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to bite off her tongue. Sure enough, people who lack oxygen to the brain will become stupid.
He bluffed: "I don't know what you are talking about." He quickly pretended to be confused and ran away.
He Lianjing said to Xia Chunyu: "Brother Chunyu, it's so scary. She changed her face. Is she a goblin?"
Xia Chunyu nodded: "It's quite scary, but if she really has another face, I would really like to see it." Xia Chunyu pointed out something.
"I don't want it, I just like him like this." He Lianjing said while eating sugar-watered eggs.
A strange color flashed in Xia Chunyu's eyes, and he asked in a joking tone: "What kind of like are you talking about?"
He Lianjing was stunned for a moment, his face slowly turned red, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated: "I like whatever I like, it's just that I'm used to it and I don't want it to change!"
Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows, half-smiling: "I'm just asking casually. I saw how anxious you were, and your face turned red."
He Lianjing was even more embarrassed: "How could..."
He is most afraid of other people asking this kind of question. This is a question he has been avoiding. Sometimes he firmly believes that his thoughts about Yaoyao are very simple, my friend. But sometimes I get confused, and I wonder if this is normal or not after not seeing him for a few days. According to Zhao Qixuan, this is abnormal.
But why did Chunyu ask this? Did he also sense that something was wrong
Xia Chunyu stopped asking and smiled lightly. Yaoyao is a woman. Although she is dressed in men's clothing and behaves generously and boldly, a woman is a woman. He must pay close attention to any man who gets too close to Yaoyao and take strict precautions.
He still doesn't know what Xiao Jing's attitude towards Yaoyao is, but judging from Xiao Jing's reaction, something is definitely wrong.
Maybe Xiaojing has discovered Yaoyao's true face and deliberately didn't tell the truth. Maybe he was attracted to her inexplicably. Maybe Xiaojing himself doesn't know what he thinks, but this kind of confusion shows the existence of the problem.
Ye Jiayao returned to her room, scooped up water to wash her face, and was about to unpack the clothes, but saw a box on the table.
The material is made of huanghuali and is engraved with exquisite patterns of twining flowers. When you open it, you will see that it is dark red fine velvet inside. When you press it, it becomes soft. Looking at the length and size, it is just right for the jade Ruyi.
Needless to say, Chunyu must have brought it.
Ye Jiayao changed the packaging for Yu Ruyi. Sure enough, people need clothes, and treasures also need packaging. Looking at it, she suddenly felt a lot more noble.
By the time Ye Jiayao changed her clothes and went out, the rain had stopped, and the two guys stood under the eaves and looked at the sky.
"The rain stopped." Xia Chunyu said.
"Ah, stop." He Lianjing said.
"You won't go back yet?"
"Aren't you leaving too?"
"Well, my home is close to here."
"I only have two more streets, and I have a carriage."
"It's time to go back."
"Well, it's a bit late."
But neither of them moved their feet.
Ye Jiayao was extremely speechless, she was insane.
"It's getting late, you guys go back first! Remember to come get the moon cakes tomorrow." Ye Jiayao gave the eviction order, she still had to make ice cream! I don't have time to chat with them.
Xia Chunyu nodded towards Helian Ding: "Then let's go first."
He Lianjing said: "I'll take you, I have a car."
Xia Chunyu said calmly: "No need, I like to take a walk."
Helian Jing muttered: "Only old people like to take walks."
Well…
Xia Chunyu felt depressed, you brat, you went to the Prince's Mansion for a walk with me earlier, why didn't you talk about your old man right away
"What do children know?" Xia Chunyu put on his elder brother's airs and walked away.
"Hey, Brother Chunyu, the gate is over here." Helian Jing saw that he was going in the wrong direction and called him quickly.
Xia Chun said angrily to the sound of the urn, "I'm going to say hello to Uncle Jiang."
"Yeah, then I'll go say hello to Aunt Jiang." He Lianjing followed.
Ye Jiayao reminded him: "Aunt Jiang is in the kitchen."
After a while, the two came back, and before leaving, He Lianjing waved to Ye Jiayao: "Yaoyao, I'll go find you on my next shift tomorrow."
Xia Chunyu had a dark face and stared at Ye Jiayao with warning in his eyes.
Ye Jiayao resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "If you come at the end of the shift tomorrow, there will be no food. The seats are all booked. You'd better come after dinner!"
He Lianjing said disappointedly: "Okay then, I'll come right after dinner."
After finally sending the person away, Jiang Yue came over and handed her a note: "Sister Yaoyao, this is given to you by the Crown Prince."
Ye Jiayao opened it and read, "Go to the back door of Tianshangju tomorrow night. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the alley."
The next day, Ye Jiayao made more than 600 mooncakes and left eight for Xiaojing, Chunyu and Zhao Qixuan each.
The sales scene is even hotter than yesterday. Yesterday, most of the people who came were officials and officials, but today there are many more merchants' families.
I came here yesterday, and I have experience today. There are often two or three people coming to a house, so there is no need to worry about the purchase limit.
After lunch, Ye Jiayao sat on a seat by the street to rest and drink tea. She had a heavy workload in the past two days and couldn't bear to take a break when she wasn't busy.
There were still about twenty minutes until the end of the day, and people were queuing up outside, sweating under the bright sun.
Ye Jiayao called Ah Fu with her fingers raised, and gave a few instructions in his ear, and Ah Fu left happily.
After a while, Cui Dongpeng and Wang Mingde carried a big teapot and went out, while Ah Fu and Ah Xing carried a large plate and bowl.
"Herbal tea, herbal tea, herbal tea that clears away heat and relieves summer heat. One copper coin is enough for a big bowl..."
Cui Dongpeng shouted at the top of his voice.
Suddenly there was a murmuring sound.
"I want I want… "
Ye Jiayao curled her lips, "There are many opportunities to make money, it depends on whether you can seize the business opportunity."
Although it was just a small amount of money, it didn't matter to her, but she had also lived a hard life, and she knew that when she had no money, her eyes would light up when she saw a copper, so it was good to get some small money to give her brothers a drink.
After drinking a bowl of herbal tea, everyone's irritability subsided a lot, their expressions became less anxious, and they started chatting.
"Hey, have you heard about Shilang Mu's nephew?"
"Of course I heard about it. It's causing a lot of trouble in the city now."
"I heard that he is Jieyuan from Jinan Prefecture. This kind of person can read the book into the dog's belly."
"Isn't that right? Miss Ye Er is not a good person, she is the most poisonous woman! I think Miss Ye must have been murdered by them."
"Hmph, a pair of adulterers, husbands, and ***."
"This kind of person should be dragged to a pig pen, no, he should be paraded through the streets on a wooden donkey."
The more the people talked, the more excited they became, and more and more people gathered around to listen to the excitement. The originally long and snake-shaped line turned into a pimple shape.
Ye Jiayao picked her ears and found out that the rumor was indeed true. If it spreads at this speed, Wei Xialiu and Jin Rong might be ranked on the list of traitors and husbands in the history of the Song Dynasty. I don’t know if this rampant public opinion offensive is purely planned.
"Come on, mooncakes are on sale, everyone, line up..." Deng Haichuan shouted.
Everyone immediately dropped the topic and returned to their respective places.
Ye Jiayao looked at the number of people and made a rough estimate. Six hundred was still not enough.
There are as many other ingredients as you need, but the quantities of agar-agar and butter are limited, so I can’t make more if I want to.
Suddenly, Ye Jiayao saw Eunuch Xiaochuan walking towards Tianshangju next to the prince.
Ye Jiayao hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him.
"Eunuch Ogawa, did the Crown Princess give you any orders?" Last night, the Crown Princess asked her to think about it first and then send someone to tell her what she wanted to eat.
Mr. Ogawa said: "No, I'm here to buy mooncakes. Today, Princess Mei comes to see the Crown Princess. It just so happens that there are still a few mooncakes you sent last night, so the Crown Princess took them out to entertain Princess Mei. , Concubine Mei said it was delicious after eating it, and she wanted to take some back, so Concubine Mei asked me to come over and buy some."
"The Crown Princess asks, what else do you want to buy? How much do you want, I will have someone install it for you." Ye Jiayao said.
Ogawa asked: "Are there ten?"
"Yes, please wait." Ye Jiayao called Axing: "Go and pack ten moon cakes for this father-in-law."
Xiaochuan wanted to take out the money, but Ye Jiayao pushed him back: "Eunuch Xiaochuan, you are looking down on me if you do this."
Xiaochuan smiled: "Okay, I will tell the Crown Princess when I get back that this is your filial piety to her."
Ye Jiayao chuckled and said, "Did the Crown Princess say what you want to eat?"
Xiaochuan said: "The Crown Princess has been thinking about it for a while, and she just wants to eat something sour and delicious. Just watch and make it!"
There was a commotion outside: "We have such a hard time queuing, why should we open the back door for others?"
It turns out that Ah Xing went to pack moon cakes and caused public outrage.
