Chapter 422
"The day before yesterday, the Gu family sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that you and Jiji will definitely come that day. This is the first time your father and grandfather have officially met after many years. Mother knows that you have a lot of ideas. Can you think of a way to help me?" Your father and grandfather resolved the knot?"

Xiaoxiao recalled how her father was immersed in the research of new dishes in the kitchen these days, and patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, mother, leave it to me!" I never bothered to make a list for the emperor. How could I be troubled by the mere and Jili menu? It was not because of the guests who came, which was a bit special.

Especially important, about, and especially missed.

Xiaoxiao looked at the door for a long time, and saw that her father was about to put down a plate of unsatisfactory dishes, so she volunteered to go to "deal with it".

The General's Mansion advocates frugality, so even if there are not many dishes to try, everyone will not waste it. Recently, the maids and servants in the mansion have been blessed, and Xiaoxiao's eyes are greedy.

Gu Changan's cooking skills are comparable to hers now, and even better in terms of taste.

In ancient times, there were not so many kinds of condiments, and more emphasis was placed on the deliciousness of the ingredients when cooking. In this regard, Xiaoxiao is ashamed. As for knife skills, practice makes perfect, and the past and the present are similar, so the only advantage she can be a little proud of is innovation.

After eating the dish and wiping her mouth clean, Xiaoxiao mysteriously took out a bamboo shoot: "Father, look what this is."

Gu Chang'an knew that she made sour bamboo shoots to change the poverty of the Ning family, but this thing was really not suitable for a banquet, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he saw his daughter hollow out the tip of the bamboo shoot and modify the body of the bamboo shoot , and then stuffed a piece of Hericium erinaceus into the hollowed out place: "Look, dad, what does this look like?"

"Edible vegetables can be seen everywhere. If we can make a pen that can write and eat, wouldn't it be unprecedented?"

Gu Changan's gaze changed from doubt to surprise, and Xiaoxiao strikes while the iron is hot: "It just so happens that little brother Ayan got some Hericium erinaceus recently, which is perfect for making pen nibs, and he also has some rare wild game, which is just right for making soup. "

Gu Chang'an just laughed at her: "You are not merciless in taking other people's things, but where did he get them?"

Xiaoxiao opened her innocent eyes wide: "Father, you know that we have built a mountain in Fuyuan Village, and my little brother wants to find an empty mountain near the capital. This is all easily obtained during the mountain patrol."

She felt more and more that it was a wise move to share the secret of the space with her little brother. No, she could push everything on him, not only would she not be cheating, but she could also let her brother help her talk and make things easier.

The next day, Rong Yan really delivered top-quality Hericium erinaceus and a bunch of game delicacies. Gu Changan was very satisfied, and immediately devoted himself to the research of the new dish "Yubi Hericium".

How to prepare the ink color, how to make the color just right, without affecting the taste, these are all things that Chef Gu has to consider. Once again, Xiaoxiao has nothing to do, so she simply took the guards that her parents insisted on taking to the streets dangling.

This time I went out to see the progress of the bookstore, and to find an empty shop for rent.

The royal errands, the workers dare not neglect, each bookcase is built strictly according to the drawings given by Xiaoxiao, of course, there are a few people who can’t keep their mouths open, saying that the bookcases that reach the sky are neither beautiful nor convenient, but they are all taken by the general. Government ignored.

The function of the bookstore has been spread for a long time, so the common people look forward to the completion of the bookstore more than the government, so that their sons can touch the precious books.

The life of the people in the capital city is better than that of other places, but it is not enough to supply scholars casually. It is hard to find a book, even if there are students who are willing to copy books to supplement their families, there are still few books that are enough to sell in bookstores. There are very few of them.

Whether the handwriting is good-looking, whether the font and size are uniform before and after, this alone is enough to invalidate the results of many people who copied books all night.

So when the magnificent bookcases in the library were completed, the craftsmen couldn't help but ask.

"Girl, the bookcase is made according to your requirements, but can you really find so many books?"

Xiaoxiao waved her little hand to show that she was fine, but let alone craftsmen, even Rong Yan and Xiao Ran were worried about this matter.

"The bookstore in the capital is more than ten times larger than the one in Xijiang County. If you want to fill the bookcases, you have to vacate more than half of the bookstores in the capital. The strange thing is..."

Xiao Ran frowned: "Why did I hear that all major bookstores recently met rich men, who reserved more than half of the books in the shop?"

This fact is unusual, they can naturally seek the emperor's help, but in this way, Xiaoxiao's reputation of being unfavorable in affairs can't be wiped away, even if she doesn't have to be an official in the court, she doesn't have to pay attention to the court's treachery, but everyone always awkward.

"But this child is not in a hurry at all, so we don't have to worry."

When Rong Yan thought about the inexhaustible books in the mall, and her daily soaring points, he was really not that worried: "I believe in Xiaoxiao."

Xiao Ran was both gratified and helpless. He was gratified that the two children trusted each other, but he was also helpless that they believed blindly.

Xiao Ran was in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that not long ago Xiaoxiao had proposed to help the father and son of the Gu family reconcile, and she was overjoyed—if anyone in the capital city had the most books, the Gu family dared to be the second. Dare to be the first.

Could it be that the daughter intends to use this as an opportunity to get her husband and the Gu family back in touch?
She rubbed her chin, thinking that this would be a good idea.

Gu Chang'an focused more on cooking, so he didn't know much about it, but the news that the books in several bookstores had been ordered quickly spread throughout the capital. I really sweated for Xiaoxiao.

For example, Gu Ruoruo who secretly came to find Xiaoxiao.

The little girl blushed, and pulled Xiaoxiao to whisper: "Let me tell you, although our Gu family is not as wealthy as those rich and powerful, but in terms of the amount of books they have collected, they can't even catch up with flattery!"

"Don't talk about others, I can fill a shelf of books for you alone, so don't be polite to me!"

"If not, I'll have someone deliver the book to your house tonight!"

Xiaoxiao was very touched by the friend's kindness, not only Gu Ruoruo, but also the Shen family members whom she met when she first came to the capital also approached her one by one, expressing their willingness to help.

The so-called friendship in adversity is true, Xiaoxiao regards them as true friends from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you very much, but I really don't lack books, come to my house tomorrow to eat more, and I will prepare another delicious food for you in the kitchen later!"

Even if it's not enough now, after she reaches the ceremony, she will fill up the bookstore in minutes.

Tomorrow is Jiji Ceremony, and the newly renovated study room also needs to be cleaned and cleaned first. The emperor has given enough time, so Xiaoxiao is not in a hurry to deal with work, but in the eyes of others, her easy-going style is just helpless, and there is nothing she can do about it .
