Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 367 Cream Cake
After a while, some girls came over with some dishes.

There is no big fish or meat as imagined, but a few simple foods, a big cake, and a cup of dark liquid exuding a strange smell.

The mother and daughter were dumbfounded: "What is this? Why are there only so few dishes?"

The girls explained: "This is a sweet set meal tailored by our restaurant for female guests who like to eat sweets. Madam and Miss can try it first."

There is nothing unusual about some Chinese-style dishes. They are just a few sweet and light dishes according to the taste of those who like sweets. The mother and daughter used a little and then threw them aside.Because they are more interested in the big cake and the warm black drink in front of them, they have never seen it before.

Under the recommendation of the girls, the two of them drank a few sips of lemon juice, and then watched the girls divide a fresh milk cake with various beautiful flowers framed in cream into several small portions, and put them in exquisite Put it on a white porcelain dish and bring it in front of them.

He added fresh milk and sugar to the liquid with a strange aroma, stirred it evenly and pushed it in front of them.

"You two, this is fresh cream cake and coffee, which foreigners like very much. Please taste it."

The mother and daughter dug out a small piece of cream-covered cake with a silver flower spoon, exchanged glances with each other, and put the silver flower spoon into their mouths out of curiosity.

Once in the mouth, the rich sweetness of flowers and fruits gives people an unparalleled sense of satisfaction, and the cake bottom with a strong cheese aroma is soft and delicious, and it is really blissful to eat in one bite.

I tried that weird drink again. It smelled so mellow. I didn’t expect that there would be a hint of bitterness after entering the mouth. This bitterness was tempered by the sweetness of milk and sugar, and it became a unique taste with multiple flavors intertwined. There is an irresistible force.

"This... this is too delicious!"

Qu's sighed inexplicably, but Xue Baoqiong just buried his head in hard work at the moment, and didn't even have time to say a word.They originally thought that the people in this restaurant were blackmailing people by holding the piece of gold but only giving them so little. But now they felt that it was their luck that such a small piece of gold could buy such delicious food. !

After a stormy meal, the food on the table was finally eaten by the mother and daughter.The girls served sweet and sour hawthorn juice to relieve the sweet and greasy feeling in their mouths.

After the girls in the suite withdrew, Qu took a sip and sighed: "I have long heard that this Fuying restaurant is different from other places. When I saw it today, it is really extraordinary. I heard that this restaurant Many of the things in it are the ideas of your uncle's second son. It seems your father is right. Having that kid in the first house is like a money tree."

Mrs. Qu said so, thinking of her own son who died tragically for no reason, she couldn't help feeling sad.But after thinking about it again, even if that prodigal son is alive, he is just the master of causing trouble everywhere. He and Xue Ying spend most of their weekdays wiping this bastard's ass and cleaning up the mess. A child who can be relied upon.Not to mention dying early now, even if they are alive, I am afraid that sooner or later their third-bedroom family property will be destroyed by him.

"Hey……"

Thinking of this, the melancholy in Mrs. Qu's heart deepened. She looked at Bao Qiong who was still there savoring the delicious food, shook her head, but still said earnestly: "Qiong'er. Your brother is gone, and your sister is here." If you are brought back after getting married, I'm afraid you won't have a good future in the future. All my mother's hopes are on you, so you have to be good, you know?"

Bao Qiong laughed and said, "What are you talking about, mother? Am I doing well? Although the elder brother is gone, our family's property is still in good condition, isn't it? Elder sister is also very business-minded. Didn't my father just Is it time to teach her how to do business? It’s even better now that she’s home, so she can help her father?”

Mrs. Qu smiled: "You are still a child, how can you know the difficulties. Our family looks okay now, but what will we do when your father gets old? Your sister can be released to do business, we The businessman's family doesn't have such big rules. But, is she never married? If your sister gets married, who will help our family in the future? So, if our family business is to continue to prosper, Qiong Er Ah, you must have a good marriage."

At this point, Baoqiong blushed again: "Really, mother, haven't we already talked about this matter? Whether my marriage can succeed depends on the planning of my father and mother, as well as my own performance. As the saying goes 'Everything depends on people, and everything depends on heaven.' No matter what happens, we can't go wrong by making a plan. And... Baoyu... Baoyu is very good..."

Seeing Baoqiong's head lowered slowly, Mrs. Qu's heart was full of sadness.That's right, Baoyu is very good, but they are from the Hou Mengong's mansion, can you take a fancy to their family background?If you don't like Baoqiong in the future, if Baoqiong is too close to Baoyu and affects her boudoir reputation and can't get married, is it necessary to make Baoyu a child?If Baoqiong's life is nothing more than being a minor for others, isn't it... From the very beginning, he shouldn't have set his sights on a mere Jia family.

Baoqiong, who lowered her head, only cared about her shyness, and didn't know the plan in her mother's heart at all. If she knew even a little bit, with her temper, she might tear her face off with her mother on the spot, right?
After playing in Beijing for a while, Mrs. Qu felt that it was time, so she let Baoqiong go to Baochai's room.

After Baochai listened to Baoqiong's words, he spewed out a mouthful of fragrant tea: "What? You said you want me to take you to the banquet of the noble ladies in the capital?"

Baoqiong twisted the handkerchief in her hand, with a pitiful expression on her face: "Yes, sister, you can fulfill me. I... I also want to show my face in the capital, I... I won't hide it from my sister, I My mother said that our family has no more males, and my sister's marriage... so the family's hope is on me alone. The burden on me is too heavy. If I don't find a good marriage, I'm afraid the family will be even more difficult in the future gone."

Baochai didn't take it seriously when she heard this, and shook her head and said, "What are you talking about? Your family has a large warehouse in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the origin of our Xue family's industry. In any case, the word 'difficult' cannot be mentioned. If you say All your family's hopes are all on your marriage, so it doesn't make sense. Although your family has no males, your uncles and aunts are still young, and you can have another child—look at the eldest wife of Jia's mansion , the age difference from your mother is not much, didn't they give birth to a pair of twin daughters? Besides, the prosperity gained through marriage is only a moment of glory, or is it more practical to raise and train boys in your own family? Tell me what you say Yes or no?"
