Dressed as the sister of the richest literary lady of the era

Chapter 34 34 Buying Shu Embroidery

Song Suisui was very moved by Mei Zi's suggestion, but she knew that Mei Zi must have other requirements. After all, the formula was her own secret, and she would not take it out unless absolutely necessary.

"I'm very excited, but you must have some requirements, right?"

"Sister Sui Sui, my requirements are really not high. My father is ill and urgently needs some money for treatment. I will sell you my hot pot base recipe, as long as it is enough money for my father's treatment."

Song Suisui didn't expect that Meizi's request was money. This was easy to handle. Anything that could be solved with money was no big deal.

"How much money does your father still need for treatment?" Song Suisui asked.

Mei Zi reported the number with some anxiety: "Five hundred yuan."

Five hundred yuan was not considered small money in this era. Song Suisui guessed that Meizi's father would most likely need surgery.

She can afford five hundred, but why does it feel a little worthless to buy a hot pot base?

Seeing Song Suisui's hesitation, Meizi immediately said: "Sister Suisui, my father modified the base ingredients according to the recipe left by my grandfather. Even without butter, the taste is very good. Try it. Look. I know that a hot pot base is definitely not worth the price, but I have a royal recipe book at home. If you like it, I can give it to you too. "

If he couldn't raise the money for the surgery, his father's condition would be delayed, and Mei Zi couldn't help but become anxious.

Seeing that she was a little anxious, Song Suisui picked up the chopsticks on the table without saying anything, dipped some of the hot pot base in the bowl and tasted it.

Not to mention, although the hot pot base is cold and a bit meaty, it still tastes delicious. If it is heated up, it will be a good base.

As for the recipe, Mei Zi had already gone to get it. After she got it, Song Suisui looked through it. Not to mention it was really a recipe book, but this one was new, that is, a replica. Mei Zi should still have it.

"This is a handwritten copy!" Song Suisui looked at Mei Zi jokingly.

Meizi thought that Song Suisui was angry, so she immediately said: "Sister Suisui, don't get me wrong, my original recipe book was from decades ago, and the book is also affected by moisture. The one in your hand is based on my father's recipe." I have tasted many of the dishes that were originally improved, and they taste very good. My father is the chef of the Chengxi State-owned Restaurant, and his cooking skills are among the best in Rong City."

After listening to Mei Zi's explanation, Song Suisui was a little puzzled: "Your father is so capable, why can't he pay for the treatment?"

In any era, people with skills would rarely starve to death. As far as she knew, the wages of cooks in state-owned restaurants were very good, and it was impossible for them not to be able to save even 500 yuan.

Meizi looked helpless when she heard this. Her father had been a soldier, and later returned to work as a cook. However, he had many comrades who died on the battlefield. He had to help the orphans and widowers of his comrades from time to time. There was no way for the family to survive. what money.

She couldn't tell Song Suisui about this kind of thing, so she could only smile awkwardly.

Seeing her expression, Song Suisui thought to himself, it seemed like there was something unspeakable!
However, she didn’t have any intention of coveting other people’s private affairs. Besides, the hot pot tasted really good and the recipes looked good, so she thought about it and agreed!
Mei Zi didn't expect Song Suisui to agree so much. She suddenly felt a little guilty and felt that she had taken advantage of Song Suisui.

For this reason, Meizi also gave Song Suisui a Shu embroidered fan. It is also a round fan embroidered on both sides, with a picture of a magpie ascending the plum blossom embroidered on it.

"Did you embroider it?" Song Suisui was a little surprised. She really didn't know that Meizi had such skills.

Mei Zi nodded shyly, and then said: "I embroidered it, but my skills are not good enough. Both sides have the same pattern."

"No, no, no, at your age, this is definitely your skill." Song Suisui gave her a thumbs up.

Seeing Song Suisui's praise, Mei Zi was a little shy: "As long as Sister Suisui likes it."

"I like it, of course I do!" Song Suisui didn't lie. She really liked this round fan.

Thinking that there was a sister with golden thighs at home, she immediately asked Meizi: "Do you still have a round fan like this?"

"No more." Mei Zi shook her head and asked curiously: "Sister Sui Sui, do you still want one?"

"I have a twin sister, and this fan is beautiful. I want to give her one too."

"Oh~" Meizi responded, then lowered her head and said, "If Sister Suisui really likes it, I can take you to someone else's house to change it." "Are your skills as good as yours?" Suisui asked curiously, playing with the fan.

"Aunt Qing's craftsmanship is better than mine!"

"Is that far from your home?"

"It's not far. So does Sister Sui Sui want to go?"

"Let's go~"

Since there is something good, why let it go?

After Song Suisui gave Mei Zi money, he put the hot pot base recipe and recipe, as well as the round fan into his backpack, and then moved it to the space.

Mei Zi led Song Suisui to another alley, walked to one of the houses and knocked on the door. Soon, a gentle voice like the breeze in the forest came from the door.

Just by listening to the voice, Song Suisui knew that Aunt Qing was a beauty!
Sure enough, when the door opened, Song Suisui saw a beauty in her thirties, who looked like the lady in the painting, Pingting, standing gracefully at the door.

"Hello Aunt Qing." After Mei Zi said hello, she quickly introduced Song Suisui to her.

At this time, Song Suisui woke up from the beauty's beauty and smiled sheepishly.

"Hello sister, my name is Song Suisui."

Shen Qing couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Song Suisui's name. A beautiful smile is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Song Suisui understood it today. No wonder so many foolish kings in history were obsessed with beauty and perished.

"come in."

Shen Qing brought the two of them into the house, and then asked them about their purpose. Knowing that Song Suisui wanted a double-sided embroidered round fan, she smiled and asked her to wait, then got up and went into the house.

After a while, Shen Qing came back with a double-sided embroidered fan with blooming flowers in his hand.

"This one is just about the same as yours. See if you like it."

Song Suisui took the round fan and found that the pattern and some stitching details were similar to those embroidered by Meizi. She asked curiously: "Did Meizi learn the craftsmanship from Sister Qing?"

"Yes." Meizi nodded and responded.

Song Suisui looked at the fan and asked Shen Qing: "How does Sister Qing want to sell it?"

She liked the fan very much, so she asked about the price.

As a result, Shen Qing said, "No more money, I'll give it to you."

"That's not okay. I can't take such a good thing for free."

You must know that Shu embroidery is one of the four famous embroideries in China, and it will also be an intangible cultural heritage in the future. Although this round fan is made of peony, the color combination is not gaudy. It has an elegant and independent nobility. It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into the color matching.

So she can't take it for nothing!
Seeing her insistence, Shen Qing couldn't help but chuckle: "Then just give me whatever you want. Anyway, this thing is worthless now."

"Just because it's not valuable now, doesn't mean it won't be valuable in the future!" Song Suisui said as he handed over ten Unity cards.

That’s one hundred dollars!
Seeing this, Shen Qing took out one of the ten large unity cards and returned the rest.

She was not short of money, and she could see that Song Suisui really wanted to give it, but as she just said, this thing was worthless now.
