Chapter 115 It's Lichun Garden, Not Lichun Garden (1)
Su Huan snorted, "So that's how it is. Cricket, how do you make your white sugar cake, I'll make it, and you send it to grandma."

Cricket's eyes lit up, and she was moved, "Fourth sister, you are a good person."

White sugar cake is actually very simple, glutinous rice flour, white sugar and eggs, some dried roses are added inside, then wrapped with fresh lotus leaves and steamed, the snow is rosy and fragrant after being taken out.

The cricket ran out to look for it for a long time, and finally bought a small package of dried roses from a drugstore, and then went to the lower reaches of the moat to pick some fresh lotus leaves.

Cut the kneaded dough into squares, wrap it in lotus leaves and steam it in a drawer.

The two of them were busy until noon before steaming a tray of white sugar cakes.The cricket couldn't wait to take a piece to eat, it was so hot that it jumped, and said pleasantly while jumping, "It tastes quite similar, and it tastes better when it's cold. We all like to eat it cold."

After letting it cool down, put it in a food box, and the cricket said, "Fourth sister, you can go with us."

Su Chang wiped his hands with a cloth handkerchief, "It's not good for me to go, I will go with you when Brother An comes back."

The cricket said, "Oh, brother Xiang said that we are not so particular about the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and those are very sour. Besides, both Uncle Mao and I will go together, or Aunt Qin will also go together? When grandma was in good health, Aunt Qin also visits when she is free."

At this time, Aunt Qin finished cleaning the dishes, put down her sleeves and said, "That's right, I'll go with the fourth girl. Your husband joined the caravan, so he and Yongrong are brothers, so it's okay to go. It's on Qianmen Street. side, not far."

So a group of four went with sugar cakes.

Yongrong's house is at the bottom of an alley. It is a clean and simple small yard with no flowers or trees. The gate of the yard is ajar, and the cricket pushes the door open and shouts, "Brother Yongrong, brother Yongrong."

A horse was tied in the corner of the small yard, eating hay leisurely. Four wing rooms were lined up, and there was a small wing room next to the rightmost wing room, emitting a little smoke.

Yongrong came out of that room and looked a little surprised when he saw them, especially when he saw Su Huan.

Su Huan and Aunt Tan stood at the gate of the courtyard and smiled at him.

Yongrong strode over and asked the cricket, "Why are you here?"

The cricket said, "Let's come to see grandma. Brother Xiang said, you won't go this time, and you have to take care of grandma at home. He asked me to come and visit first, and he will come to see grandma again in two days."

Yongrong wore a gray gown, wiped his hands on the cloth gown, and looked up at the sun, "Cricket, take Ubo and the others to sit in, grandma is sleeping."

The cricket sighed, and handed the food box in his hand to Yongrong, "Brother Yongrong, this is white sugar cake."

Yongrong lifted the lid of the food box and was very pleasantly surprised, "Cricket, where did you buy it?"

Cricket turned around and pointed at Su Huan, "Fourth Sister did it."

Yongrong looked up at Su Huan, pursed his lips a little shyly, "Thank you. It's hot, please sit indoors."

The living room was naturally much cooler. Su Huan looked around and felt that Yongrong was a real place. The tables, chairs and cabinets in the room were all brown logs, and there were no fancy decorations. They were simple and durable.

She secretly went to ask Cricket, "Is there no one else in his family?"

The cricket nodded.

At this time, Yongrong changed into a short white cotton shirt, held a plate of herbal tea, and strode in.

Su Huan quickly stopped gossiping and sat down dignifiedly.

Aunt Tan sighed and said, "Yongrong, if you want to be more generous, if you need help, just call me and Uncle Mo."

Yongrong silently served herbal tea for them, sat down, and said slowly, "I understand."

There was a moment of silence.

Su Huan felt that the atmosphere was too sad. After thinking about it, he pushed the food box on the table in front of Yongrong, "Cricket said, you all like to eat this kind of white sugar cake in your hometown, and you can't buy it here. I heard your grandma say yesterday. If you want to eat it, just follow the cricket's instructions and make some, I don't know if it tastes right, so you can take it to your grandma to taste."

Yongrong opened the food box, took a bite out of a piece, looked up at Su Huan again, lowered his eyelids and said, "Well, that's how it is."

Su Huan hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Ubo asked at this time, "I heard that there is a famous doctor named Lin in Hongjingfang. Yongrong, do you want to go and see?"

Yongrong said, "I went to invite the doctor in the morning."

Ubo said, "What does the doctor say?"

Yongrong silently shook his head.

The room was silent again.

Su Huan was a little at a loss, she was not familiar with Yongrong, and this kind of sadness was really dull, so she didn't know what to say, so she said to her, "Cricket, since grandma is asleep, let's visit another day."

The cricket nodded and stood up.

Aunt Tan said, "Cricket, you go back first, I'll stay and help grandma wipe her body later, it's hot, and grandma always likes to be clean, it's inconvenient for Yongrong to do this."

Su Huan felt that Aunt Qin was thoughtful, and said hurriedly, "Okay, don't worry, Aunt Qin, I'll make dinner."

Yong Rong stood up and smiled gratefully at them.

So, the three of them walked back dully.

When walking back to Cai's house, Cricket saw a man in a blue shirt from a long distance, looking around at the door of their house, went up and knocked on the bronze knocker on the door, saw no one answered, and took two steps back , standing there with arms akimbo looking around.

The cricket had long legs and was impatient, leaving Su Huan and Mao Bo behind, walked two steps in a row, and asked loudly, "Hey, who are you?"

The man in Tsing Yi turned his head and saw the cricket coming, so he clasped his fists and said, "May I ask if this is Cai Xiang's house?"

The cricket stood in front of him, tilted his head to look at him, "Yes, who are you?"

The man in Tsing Yi said, "I'm at the Qing Gang Shi Da."

At this time, Su Huan and Mao Bo had already walked over, she took a look at the black gauze hat on her head, oh, this guy looks familiar, his face is simple and honest, he is as strong as a cow, and he doesn't even blink after drinking three bowls .

That's right, that's Shi Da from the Green Gang.

But Shi Da recognized the peach-faced girl at a glance, and said with a smile, "Does the girl still recognize me?"

Su Huan nodded, "Brother Shi, what's the matter?"

Shi Da took out a post from his arms and handed it to the cricket standing beside him, but he said to Su Huan, "Girl, my family leader is hosting a banquet in the Lichun Garden tonight, inviting Brother Huo and the girl, and Boss Cai, go to watch the show."

The cricket passed the post to Su Huan.Su Huan stared at the post with light blue vertical lines sealed with red wax oil, a little dazed, "Lichunyuan? It's not convenient for me to go to that kind of place, right? Oh, Huo An is not allowed to go either."

Shi Da's eyebrows trembled, and he pressed his forehead.

Ubo coughed and said, "Fourth Miss, it's Lichunyuan, not Lichunyuan. Girls don't know that Lichunyuan is a famous garden in Baoning, not because of its good food and wine, but because of its reputation." The play is good. Lichun Garden is a big garden, and it is divided into various small gardens. Troupes from all over the world are stationed here. Yuanzi, those who like to listen to operas, you must go there."
