Zhu Junyang almost vomited blood, when did he bully this brat? The one being bullied is him, okay? My heart is hurt, please hug, coax, comfort, otherwise I won't get up! !
But Xiao Shitou was about to fly happily, and proudly flew a demonstrative look at Zhu Junyang, smiled and said coquettishly: "Second sister is the best, second sister really hurts me! With your words, who cares? Still dare to bully me?"
"Childish!" Such a grown-up man, he still acted like a baby at his sister. The most annoying thing is to act like a baby to his wife. Zhu Junyang refused to admit that he was jealous!
Yu Xiaocao felt that the resentment emanating from her husband was about to substantiate, thinking that it would take a lot of effort to appease this large animal when she went back, and after talking to her younger brother for a few words, she finally offered an invitation: "In three days, We will be holding a special "early adopters meeting" at our residence, and we need some young students to be the judges. At that time, you can invite a few people who have a good relationship."
"An early adopter meeting? Is it about food? This news has to be covered up, or I'm afraid that your outer courtyard will be overwhelmed!" Thinking of his birthday banquet last time, Xiao Shitou still has lingering fears. Originally, it was a family banquet, but I didn't expect that the whole medicinal food shop would be vacant, so that I could be able to entertain all the guests.
Yu Xiaocao briefly explained her plan for this party: Actually, the creative cakes made by the girls in the inner courtyard were sent to the outer courtyard for judging by the young boys, and the first, second and third winners were awarded There are prizes. She has already thought about the prize, which is a membership card of her "Creative Pastry". With this membership card, all consumption at "Creative Pastry" is half price!
Well, even the prizes are for promoting her unopened shop! With such an owner, why don't you worry about her business being prosperous
…
Zhu Junyang was unhappy, very unhappy! The wedding day was supposed to be a sweet moment for the couple to spend their time in the world of two. However, he was left out in the cold by his newly married little wife!
Since returning to the palace that day, his little wife has been busy. First, craftsmen were invited to build five large tin ovens in the back garden, and then the pre-match pastry chefs of her pastry shop were summoned to the mansion for pre-match training. The servants in the family were directed around by the little wife, and they were happy with it.
Mei Xiang, who was in charge of the inner courtyard, and Liu Dequan, the chief servant, cheered up. This is the first time their Prince Xu's Mansion organizes a gathering, and all the ladies and powerful children from the middle and upper classes in Beijing come. Everything has to be arranged in every possible way so as not to ruin the reputation of Prince Xu's Mansion. The steward in charge of purchasing is even more conscientious. He has to consult with Yang Liu, who is next to the concubine, for instructions every day, for fear of missing any important materials.
Xiaocao spends most of her daily time arranging the back garden. Luckily, the servants of the palace were helpful, otherwise it would be a bit mysterious to achieve the effect she wanted in two days! As long as she makes an idea to look at the overall situation, the stewards of the outer court and the inner court will immediately make proper arrangements for her and turn her request into reality. This is also the time for the maids and servants in charge of the palace to show off their abilities to the princess! Everyone cheered up, for fear that the princess would be dissatisfied.
Although, they are all arranged by the prince. But no one in Beijing knows that the master is obedient to the mistress before they get married. After getting married, he will continue to be a good husband of the twenty-four filial piety to the end, wishing to stick to the mistress all the time. Those who can be selected by Zhu Junyang, who is not like a human being, have already seen through that the mistress of this mansion is the most important. Even if the master was very upset about the pastry competition during the wedding, he still told them to cooperate with the mistress. Tsk tsk, if anyone dares to play tricks and get fired by the hostess, the prince will never say a word for them, but will applaud them instead. For the stability of their errands, especially those in charge, didn't they try their best to show their abilities in front of the mistress
Even with the full cooperation of the people under him, Xiaocao, who worked hard, was still very tired. In order to ensure the perfection of this event, Xiaocao directed the servants around during the day, and at night, he picked up his planning book, biting the pen to think of ideas, and recorded the inspiration in his mind for the next day's implementation. Sometimes, staying in the small study in the inner courtyard lasts most of the night.
Seeing such a serious and hardworking little wife, how could Zhu Junyang be willing to make trouble with her again? If you love her and spoil her, you must support her with all your strength! Despite being extremely upset, Zhu Junyang followed the principles of a good husband and shared a lot of work for his daughter-in-law.
I don't know who spread the news. On the second day of preparing for the "Handmade Pastry Creativity Competition", Xiaocao began to collect letters of worship from the morning. The wives of respectable families in Beijing brought their eight-year-old to Daughters ranging from sixteen years old to visit, the purpose is an invitation card for the early adopters meeting.
Originally, the purpose of Xiaocao organizing this event was to invite the girl that the second elder brother liked to come and have fun, so that Princess Jing could meet this future daughter-in-law. Fearing that the girl would be embarrassed, he invited some girls who were acquainted with each other to accompany him. The idea of making pastries by yourself is also to increase the fun of the party.
Concubine Jing and Xiaocao, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, only invited from the relatives and friends of the two families. Only twenty posts were prepared, Princess Jing took ten, and Miss Han divided five blank posts for her to invite good friends she knew well. Xiaocao only left five cards here.
However, on the second day, from the morning, Xiaocao began to receive visiting guests, sometimes receiving several wives and ladies who came by appointment at the same time. Until the evening, there were greeting cards handed over. She was so busy that she ate a few mouthfuls of lunch. At the end of a day, there were more than 20 people who came to ask for posts. The key point is that some people, whether it is Xiaocao or her man, have never met them before, they are not even counted as acquaintances, and they even lick their faces and come to ask for a party post.
Good guy, the number of people who were originally invited has suddenly doubled, and the number of preparations that need to be prepared has doubled. Fortunately, the back garden of Prince Xu's Mansion was large enough, and a batch of materials was purchased and urgently replenished, so that the next day's party would not be missed.
As for the guests in the outer courtyard, they did not lose control. Zhu Junyang gave to those generals under his command who had done meritorious service against him, Xiao Shitou's five or six schoolmates, young talents among relatives and friends in Prince Jing's residence, relatives of the Han family...
Xiaocao has to thank the time for the event to be set in a hurry, otherwise there would be more than 20 people who came to ask for posts. Many people who were a little behind in the news couldn't help beating their chests when they learned that they missed this opportunity to show their presence in front of King Xu and the princess, and to show their faces in front of the young talents in Beijing. A party invitation.
On the third day of the gathering, all kinds of carriages were parked in front of Prince Xu's Mansion. Judging from the imprints on the carriages, they almost included the noble families above the third rank of the imperial court, of course not only these.
Princess Jing came to see her daughter-in-law openly and aboveboard in the name of Xiaocao organizing such a grand gathering for the first time to help. As a result, the daughter-in-law didn't see it, so she was busy entertaining those famous wives.
Xiaocao, the master, can't be idle! Fortunately, her good sisters, He Wanning and Princess Minglan helped her a lot. When these two were in their boudoirs, they met all the ladies from the upper class, and the people they married were also from the upper class. The ladies and young daughters-in-law who received the invitations almost didn't recognize them, and they were quite handy in entertaining them. Xiaocao was relieved to leave the guests to them.
After learning about this party, I was able to make dim sum by myself. Not only did it attract the interest of the young girls, their sisters-in-law and married sisters were also very interested. So, there was a post that Hulala came with a family, including mother and daughter, sister-in-law, and older sisters. Fortunately, Xiaocao was well prepared, otherwise he would have been caught blind on the spot.
The ridiculously large back garden of Prince Xu's Mansion is now divided into two parts. The middle is separated by rows of bamboos, the inside is a place for ladies and ladies to do activities, and the outside is a place for young talents to drink tea, play chess, throw pots, and shoot arrows. Xu Wang's Mansion gathered almost all the Chinese and military talents in Beijing, and those ladies cast meaningful glances across the sparse bamboo forest from time to time.
A clear swirling water flow connects the inside and outside of the garden. On both sides of the water flow, there are low tables and tables covered with brightly colored blankets. In the water flow, there are petals falling from time to time, flowing down the current...
Looking at the flowing water, Xiao Shitou and his classmates couldn't help laughing, "Prince Xu's Mansion is going to organize activities in imitation of the ancients' 'Qushui Liushang'! It's quite elegant!"
In the garden, apart from some ladies and grandmas, there are also some children who are less than thirteen. Xiaocao explained the rules of the competition, emphasizing "creativity", "beauty" and "taste". The top three of these three items will all be rewarded.
After hearing the detailed rules of the event, the older girls and younger daughters-in-law are all eager to try. Xiaocao didn't gossip much, and soon announced the start of the game.
The creative pastry competition is divided into four groups: "Biscuit Group", "Cake Group", "Chocolate Group" and "Other Group". Children under the age of ten were gathered together to make relatively simple biscuits and chocolates with the help of trainee pastry chefs.
These are really not technically content, and many animal and flower models were prepared on site. The prepared dough is molded into various shapes, put into the oven and baked, and it becomes a delicious biscuit. Chocolate is also to pour the melted chocolate paste into the mold, and take it out after cooling. In order to prevent the children from being burned, besides the intern pastry chef, there are two careful maids beside each child to resolutely eliminate potential safety hazards.
As for older children and ladies, they are all handmade. Knead the biscuits into the shape you like, decorate the small cakes with cream, jam and chocolate, and add some creative ingredients to the chocolate to create a different taste...
