Chapter 267 The Curious Miss Daughter

Dong Bao nodded and sighed lightly, luckily it was Miss Qunqianjin.As soon as she heard the word jiaoke, Du Shiniang and Huo Xiaoyu immediately came to mind...

However, thinking about it again, Dong Bao felt that he was thinking too much. Wang Cong is a young master from a famous family. Not to mention his pride and self-esteem, he treats others very politely. He has always been very polite to her. How could he let her meet A group of special occupations of "delicate guests"?I'm afraid that with Wang Cong's modest appearance but proud temperament, he would never let such a woman enter the door of the tofu shop.

"I... haven't dealt with them before." Dong Bao hesitated, and said truthfully, "You know, I'm just a country girl, if there is any disrespect..." Wang Cong was polite to her, and she also agreed. I don't want to make it difficult for Wang Cong. If I offend those daughters, I'm afraid Wang Cong will lose face.

Wang Cong smiled and waved his hands, "My sister Dezhi is here, don't worry, and don't be nervous, they also heard that you came up with these dishes, they are just curious and want to meet you."

"Okay then." Dong Bao nodded briskly, since Wang Cong said so, she will go there.

The boxes of the delicate customers are in the innermost room on the second floor of the tofu shop. At the door, there are two waiters in the uniform of the tofu shop and three [-]-year-old girls.

The boy who led Dong Bao over gave the leading girl a slap, and said with a smile, "Sister Caixia, this is the girl Song that the girls want to meet, and I brought you here."

It seems that there are maidservants serving daughters at the door, Dong Bao thought to himself, when Caixia looked at her, Dong Bao smiled and nodded at her.

After Caixia was stunned for a moment, she probably didn't expect Dong Bao, a country girl, to be so generous, she quickly smiled at Dong Bao, and said to Dong Bao: "Miss Song, our lady is the younger sister of Master Wang Cong. come in."

Caixia knocked on the door and pushed it open. The girls whispered and laughed. Blocking the door was a screen made of thin silk. A few figures sat behind.

Caixia asked Dongbao to wait behind the screen, and she went over first and said, "Miss, Miss Song is here."

"Ms. Song, please come here." A crisp female voice laughed.

Dongbao walked over slowly under Caixia's beckoning. After a rough look, there were already more than a dozen dishes on the table, all of which were the signature dishes of the tofu shop. About six or seven girls were seated. It seems to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger one is only ten years old.There are still girls standing behind many girls, they should be maids brought out by them.

"You are Miss Song who opened this tofu shop with my brother?" asked the female voice that Dong Bao heard first.

The girl who spoke was twelve or thirteen years old. She wore two buns and a diamond collar around her neck. She had a round face, red lips, and her crisp voice. She was very delicate and cute.

"You are Miss Dezhi, Young Master Wang's younger sister, right?" Dong Bao said with a smile, "My name is Song Dongning."

Wang Dezhi nodded, called Dongbao to sit next to her, ordered Caixia to add bowls and chopsticks to Dongbao and pour tea, then smiled at the other girls at the table, and said, "You insist on seeing Miss Song, I'll invite someone here If you're curious, ask quickly, don't delay Miss Song's affairs!"

All the girls at the table laughed, and the youngest girl looked at Dongbao and said in surprise, "You don't look that big, how old are you?"

Dong Bao smiled and said, "I was born in the twelfth lunar month, so I am thirteen years old."

"Oh, it's only two years older than me! There are so many dishes..." The little girl became even more curious, pointing to the dishes on the table, and said, "How did you come up with it? None of our cooks know how to cook it." !"

An older girl at the banquet also asked: "Yes, I heard that you also came up with those tofu and dried tofu. How did you come up with it?"

Dong Bao thought of an excuse early on, and smiled, "It's a coincidence, and it's also good luck. My mother once ground soy milk and poured it into a jar. When she opened the jar, she found that the soy milk in the jar had turned into tofu. After trying a few times, I found out that the gypsum originally stored in the jar turned into tofu. As for those dishes, my mother and I cooked for our family when we were young, and we figured them out after a long time."

Baoji Workshop has been in business for so long, and consumes at least one hundred catties of raw gypsum every day. Many people know that tofu is ordered with gypsum, but what they don’t know is that tofu made with plaster of paris powder is delicious.

"Oh!" The girls showed a clear look.

"You are 12 years old, has your family engaged you yet?" Wang Dezhi asked suddenly, winking playfully at her.

This question puts the average girl blushing and speechless, but Pian Dongbao is not an ordinary person, and said generously: "It's settled, I just had a banquet a few days ago, it's the brother next door who grew up with me .”

Maybe Dong Bao didn't notice it herself, but when she mentioned Lin Shi, her brows and eyes would involuntarily smile softly, and the affection contained in it could be seen clearly by anyone.

"What does their family do?" Wang Dezhi asked curiously. In her opinion, Song Dongning earned a lot of money, so the betrothed family should not be too bad.

Dong Bao smiled and said: "Their family is an ordinary farmer's family. He is studying in our town now. He has passed the examination of scholar and is preparing for the examination of Juren."

Wang Dezhi smiled and nodded, politely asked Dong Bao to have dinner with them, but Dong Bao declined, saying that there was still something to do, and he would have dinner with the girls next time he had a chance.

When Caixia sent her out, Dongbao breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn't believe that the group of daughters were really curious about why she could cook. If you went to a restaurant to eat and tasted right, would you call the cook over? inquire about?What a joke, she is a noble young lady, how could she be interested in a dirty, cooking-smelling person like a cook.Dong Bao could feel that the main purpose of these young ladies seeing her was to ask Wang Dezhi's questions, but Dong Bao didn't know why they cared so much about his marriage.

After Dong Bao left, the youngest girl smiled at the girl next to her until the door was closed: "Sister Yue, you can rest assured now."

Sister Yue is the oldest girl in the room, about fifteen or sixteen years old, she blushed immediately when she heard this, she shook her head and said, "It was you who urged her to come over and ask about this and that, why should I worry about it?"

Another twelve or thirteen-year-old girl said with a smile: "It seems that Song Dongning is very satisfied with her fiancé, Sister Yue, you can rest assured to be Dezhi's sister-in-law."

Miss Yue blushed to the point of bleeding, she lowered her head and fiddled with the tassels in her hand, feeling a little dissatisfied, she said softly: "Sister Rui can make jokes, thanks to your idea!" Obviously it was Zhang Rui's idea, He booed and urged several people to call Song Dongning over for questioning, but under the pretense of helping her, he told her to spit old blood stuck in her throat and was very aggrieved. Dezhi had no choice but to go to Wang Cong and call Miss Song.

Even if Ms. Song and Wang Cong have something to do with each other, as Ms. Song, she is just raising an extra aunt in the family. She is Wang Cong's wife, which will not change. With Wang Cong's status, how many Auntie is too normal, if it's not Miss Song, it will be someone else, if she doesn't even have this bit of guts, this marriage will be voided as soon as possible.Besides, Miss Song doesn't look like a country girl who can't stand on the stage. If she really enters the Wang family, it will only be good for the Wang family, and everyone is happy to see it. A person who will do anything to climb high.

Zhang Rui is not an idiot, so he naturally heard the dissatisfaction and warning in Miss Yue's tone, and immediately sneered, and just about to speak, Wang Dezhi said loudly: "Come on, let's have a glass of wine first, this is my brother looking for someone to come from." Authentic goods brought over from the Western Regions, no matter how much you drink, you won’t get drunk!”

Seeing that everyone around him raised their wine glasses, Zhang Rui could only hang up his smile, and raised their glasses together with others.

It was noon when Dong Bao came out of the Octagonal Building, and because she was the only one coming, Dong Bao declined Wang Cong's arrangement for a table, and asked the Wang family's driver to take her around the market in Anzhou. I bought a few thin cloths for summer wear that were new this year, some made of fine cotton and some made of silk. Basically, everyone bought a copy. I also brought a few pieces of white fine cotton cloth for Mrs. Li to save for the future The younger brother or younger sister made close-fitting clothes.

Before Dong Bao had eaten at noon, he found a bakery in the market and bought a few pieces of meat pie, and handed them two pieces to the driver. Anzhou is all carried by him, and he is quite familiar with it.

On the way back, Dong Bao piled the bought fabrics behind him, and leaned against the fabrics to take a nap. The sunshine in the spring afternoon was dazzling and warm, and spilled on Dong Bao's face and body through the shaken car curtain.After squinting for a while, Dong Bao got up and looked out the window. There were already familiar fields and villages outside, which should be very close to Yuanshui.

It's better to be in your own hometown!Dongbao sighed sincerely in her heart, no matter how good Anzhou is, it seems that it is not a place she is familiar with. Only in Yuanshui, in Tagouji, the people there, and the scenery there, she really feels familiar and at ease. .

"I don't know what Brother Da Shi is doing?" Dong Bao muttered silently, "Study so hard every day, and don't expect him to be the number one in the exam. In the end, the handsome guy becomes a fool in his studies, then I will be really at a loss. ..."

Dong Bao let out a long sigh, leaned back on the pile of fabrics, and counted silently with his fingers. There were also shops in Luzhou who came to their workshop to ask for goods, and there were also several counties in the south. People also came to ask after the New Year. Some of these people are definitely not enough, and they have to recruit people. As for the workshop, they have to expand two more yards to dry bean curd sticks and dried tofu. Now these two are the best sellers.
