Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Bai Yutang was completely awakened by Zhan Zhao's shaking, he sighed helplessly, and couldn't see clearly even if he was blind.

After Zhan Zhao finished shaking, Bai Yutang reached out his hand to grope, pressed his head, and asked, "Where did you meet?"

But Zhan Zhao suddenly stopped talking, and rubbed his chin as if he was thinking about something, then suddenly turned over and crawled back.

Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, puzzled, "Cat?"

"Hmm... I can't tell for a while, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Zhan Zhao turned over and covered himself with the quilt, patted the pillow and lay down, ready to sleep.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao who was wrapped up in the quilt and ready to meet Duke Zhou, and for the first time, he had a feeling that his teeth were itching with hatred. The cat made him sleepless, but he was going to sleep. Where have you seen that pillow.

Bai Yutang sat up, looked at Zhan Zhao who was wrapped like a caterpillar beside him, groped a bit, and probably found the waist position, Fifth Master stretched out a finger, aimed it, and poked!

"what!"

In the next room, just as Yin Hou lay down, he heard his grandson yelling, and asked Tianzun who was at the table who didn't know what he was doing, "What's wrong with them?"

Tianzun said faintly, "Young people, this is called vigor, you old man will not understand!"

Yin Hou raised his head and saw a big box in front of Tianzun, and he was closing the lid right now.

"What's in that box?" Yin Hou asked curiously.

Tianzun held the box and glanced at him, smiled mysteriously, ran to his own bed with the box in his arms, pushed the box into the bed, and hid it.

Yin Hou raised his eyebrows—what is this old ghost hiding?So mysterious!

……

Zhan Zhao bounced up when Bai Yutang poked his laughing acupoint, covered his waist and squinted at Bai Yutang, "What are you doing!"

Bai Yutang was very calm and asked him, "Are you awake?"

Zhan Zhao blinked, "Yes."

"Are you still sleepy?" Fifth Master continued to ask.

Zhan Zhao shook his head with resentment on his face.

Bai Yutang nodded in satisfaction, and lay down, "Then I'll go to bed first."

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide and watched Bai Yutang lie down comfortably.

After Bai Yutang lay down, he found that this trick was quite effective, and he suddenly felt sleepy...

After about half a cup of tea, Guard Zhan came back to his senses, gasped... Heideng Xiahuo stretched out his hand to pull Bai Yutang's quilt, "Who did you learn from!"

Bai Yutang grabbed the quilt from him, thinking he didn't learn from you!

The internal strength of the two heroes was also a little bit higher, and their vigor was also a little bit stronger, and they heard a "stab"...

Both were taken aback.

Look again, Bai Yutang's silk brocade was torn in two.

Zhan Zhao blinked, returned the half of the quilt in his hand to Bai Yutang, then pulled his quilt around and turned over...and continued to sleep.

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stopped arguing with him, and didn't need to sleep anymore.

As soon as Fifth Master lay down, he felt Zhan Zhao move beside him, and then, a corner of the quilt moved over and covered him.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and tugged, and successfully pulled half of the quilt over.

After Bai Yutang covered the quilt, he poked Zhan Zhao with his finger.

Zhan Zhao flickered, "Don't make trouble."

"Who made the trouble first?" Bai Yutang was speechless, "Where did you say you saw that fish tail?"

"I'll take you to see it tomorrow morning." Zhan Zhao smoothly pushed Xiao Wu's big head away, "I can't tell for a while, maybe I made a mistake."

Bai Yutang stopped worrying about it, closed his eyes, and let's talk about it tomorrow morning...

In the early morning of the next day, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang got up early, ready to find "Fishtail".

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao why he didn't say it first, and Zhan Zhao's reason was quite strange. After thinking about it last night, he thought it might be his own preconceived ideas, so he didn't explain it for now. If Bai Yutang saw it later, he would think so. If that's the case, then your own judgment is correct.

Bai Yutang could understand Zhan Zhao's intentions. To put it bluntly, even the cat was not sure, so he would understand after a while.

Bai Yutang asked curiously, "Where should I go?"

Before Zhan Zhao could open his mouth to speak, he heard footsteps outside, and while running, he heard someone shout, "Little Mantou!"

Everyone looked out, and the voice sounded like Pang Yu.

Taixue had a rest today, Bao Yan originally made an appointment with his fourth son, Tianzun, to go to the book market to buy books.

Pang Yu rushed into the yard, caught sight of Bao Yan eating breakfast, and hurried over, "Are you free today?"

Bao Yan looked at Pang Yu, "It depends on the situation, what do you want to do?"

Pang Yu rubbed his hands, "I want your help!"

Bao Yan was curious, "Help? Help for what?"

"En." Pang Yu rubbed his nose and said in a low voice, "In the past, every time the emperor's birthday banquet, the dishes and the like were ordered by the queen mother."

Bao Yan was at a loss when he heard this, and asked puzzledly, "Then what?"

"This year, the queen mother said that she is too old to worry about it." Pang Yu smiled, "So I left it to my sister."

……

After Pang Yu finished speaking, it happened that Zhao Pu walked in from the outside of the courtyard. He listened intently and raised his eyebrows, "Congratulations."

Pang Yu scratched his head and smirked.

Gongsun was feeding egg custard to the fourth son, and looked at Zhao Pu puzzled, "Congratulations?"

Zhao Pu smiled slightly, sat down and hugged the fourth son, "It means that the Empress Dowager intends to test Concubine Pang to see if she can manage the affairs of the harem."

"Oh..." On the side, Zhan Zhao also understood, "That is to say, the Empress Dowager intends to make Concubine Pang the Empress? It is indeed worthy of congratulations."

Pang Yu laughed.

Bao Yan asked with a smile, "Your father should be very happy, right?"

"Of course I'm happy, but my father can't get involved in this matter." Pang Yu blinked, "There are so many people, I can help!"

Bao Yan nodded, then wondered again, "Then why are you looking for me?"

"I want you to give me an idea!" Pang Yu folded his arms and pointed at Bao Yan, "You are knowledgeable! It's better to make the dishes tasteful and arty, you know, usually People who find fault with my sister say that she has no connotation, no taste, and just has a pretty face."

Bao Yan frowned, "Who said so much about your sister?"

Pang Yu also curled his lips, "And there are many foreigners who come to celebrate the birthday this time, and there are many etiquettes. Help me make up my mind to ensure that I will not be rude to others, and make the guests who come to the banquet feel at home."

Bao Yan nodded, patted his chest, "Wrap it on me."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, thinking that Zhao Pu is here, which of those foreigners dare not feel at home?

Pang Yu patted Bao Yan's shoulder contentedly, and then asked everyone, "How about you? Are you free?"

Gongsun was curious, "We also want to help?"

Pang Yu nodded, nodded, and pointed at the fourth son, "The fourth son has a lot of ideas!"

The fourth son smiled.

Pointing to Zhao Pu again, "The Ninth Prince understands foreigners."

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows.

Pointing at Gongsun, "Mr. is responsible for checking whether the dishes have been poisoned. This time, there must be no accident!"

Gongsun nodded and nodded.

Pang Yu pointed at Zhan Zhao again, "Brother Zhan will try the dishes!"

Zhan Zhao blinked—what a job.

In the end, Pang Yu pointed at Bai Yutang, "Fifth Master has the best taste."

Bai Yutang nodded, his words sounded right.

Tianzun who happened to come out made two "cough coughs", and Pang Yu clapped his hands to catch up, "Of course it's all because of being influenced by Tianzun!"

Tianzun came over to have breakfast with a smile.

Everyone looked at Pang Yu, if you want to flatter you, you are number one in the world.

"But we have to investigate the case today." Zhan Zhao discussed with Pang Yu.

The little lord waved his hand, "Before you get busy and serious, I will find Xiao Mantou to list the dishes today, and I will ask you for help a few days before the birthday banquet."

Everyone nodded.

Bao Yan also discussed with the fourth son that he couldn't accompany him to the book market today.

The fourth son turned to look at Tianzun... In fact, it was not the fourth son who wanted to go to the book market, but Tianzun wanted to go to the book market.

Tianzun didn't care, he held the porridge bowl and touched the fourth son with his arm, "It's okay, we just go."

The fourth son nodded.

Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun and then at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao was also puzzled, and looked at Tianzun's door. Yin Hou didn't come out but the door was closed, so he asked Tianzun, "Tianzun, where is grandpa?"

Tianzun said, "Oh, I asked the great monk to drag him away early in the morning."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, Tianzun seemed to want to distract Yin Hou.

"Then you go to the book market alone?" Bai Yutang thought to himself, just him and the fourth son going to the book market?Why does it sound so dangerous?

Zhao Pu said, "I'm idle, I'll go with you..."

"No need." Tianzun shook his head and shook his head, "Go and come back, soon, little four can just accompany me!"

Everyone didn't have much doubt at first, but now they feel that the situation is not right - Tianzun is mysterious, and seems to be planning something.

The most curious one was of course Bai Yutang, the fifth master looked at the fourth son.

The fourth son blinked - he didn't seem to know what Tianzun wanted to do.

At this time, Zhan Zhao suddenly asked Pang Yu, "I heard that you basically know all the rich businessmen in Kaifeng?"

The young master crossed his arms and thought for a while, "Well... To be precise, I know all the rich second-generation ancestors, but I don't know much about the older ones."

"How much do you know about Manji Sugar Shop?" Before Zhan Zhao finished speaking, Bai Yutang and Gongsun all looked at him.

The fourth son asked, "Do cats want candy?"

Zhan Zhao winked at the fourth son, "The fourth son has been there too, right?"

The fourth son nodded, Gongsun would indeed take him to Manji to buy snacks, there are several Manji shops in Kaifeng City, the largest main shop is not far from Taibai.

"Oh!" Pang Yu smiled, "I know Man Muhua."

"Man Muhua..." Zhan Zhao thought the name sounded familiar.

"Manji Shaodong's family." Pang Yu said while drinking a bowl of tofu lace, "I used to get along with him, but recently we have less contact."

"Very good?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu didn't see each other, and asked him, "Is that kid also the second generation ancestor?"

"Well..." Pang Yu thought for a while, and said, "It can be regarded as a second generation ancestor in the traditional sense, but it is also a bit different from the second generation ancestor in the non-traditional sense."

Everyone listened fresh.

Tianzun asked him, "What is the second generation ancestor in the traditional sense? What is the second generation ancestor in the non-traditional sense?"

Pang Yu raised his face and thought for a while, pointed to himself, and said, "The traditional meaning is the second ancestor."

Everyone nodded.

Then Pang Yu pointed at Bai Yutang again, "The second generation ancestor in the non-traditional sense."

Everyone touched their chins. They were indeed the two extremes of the second generation ancestors. Of course, Pang Yu has changed now.

"What about Man Muhua?" Bao Yan asked.

Pang Yu smacked his lips, "How should I put it, that kid has a good brain, but he is very playful, that's right. Why doesn't he have a lot of money? But he is very particular." He said, pointing Bai Yutang, "It's almost as fastidious as him."

Everyone raised their eyebrows—very convincing!

Bai Yutang was helpless.

"Why are you asking Man Muhua?" Pang Yu asked Zhan Zhao curiously, "Did he commit a crime?"

"No, I'm just curious about Manji." Zhan Zhao simply asked Pang Yu carefully, "Do you know their family?"

"Well, Mu Hua seldom talks about family affairs. I met him because I bought porcelain." Pang Yu said, "My mothers were obsessed with drinking scented tea that year, and they wanted to find some transparent bone china teacups to make scented tea. , I asked my friends everywhere and found a shop in Kaifeng."

Bai Yutang asked, "The one in Chenjia Lane?"

Young Master raised his eyebrows and pointed at Bai Yutang, "Just say you have taste."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang curiously.

Bai Yutang pointed at Zhao Pu.

Zhan Zhao looked back at Zhao Pu.

"Ahem." Zhao Pu coughed and motioned for Pang Yu to continue!

Gongsun stuffed egg custard into the mouth of the fourth son, not letting him speak... Actually, a while ago, Zhao Pu saw Gongsun flipping through the medicine bottle, and asked him curiously what he was doing.Gongsun said that the color of the medicine bottles is not enough, most of them are the same, and the labels often fall off, so he has to open the bottles one by one to cause trouble.Zhao Pu asked him why he didn't use colored glaze, and Gongsun said that the colored glaze transmits too much light, and some medicines are afraid of being exposed to the sun.

As a result, within a few days, Zhao Pu got Gongsun a set of translucent white bone china medicine bottles. Gongsun was happy for a long time, and asked him where he got it. Speaking of other things... Ganqing specially went to ask Bai Yutang about it and then bought it!He also played handsome and said it was not troublesome at all.

Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu looks at the sky.

The fourth son was excited—Ninety-Nine is so handsome!

Pang Yu went on to say, "I happened to meet Man Muhua when I went to buy a cup that day. He came up to talk to me after he knew who I was. This is quite rare."

Bao Yan laughed, "Are you the young master? There are not many people who flatter you?"

"Is this different!" Pang Yu said, pointing to Bai Yutang, "Usually people with this style shouldn't like me, right?"

Holding the teacup, Bai Yutang thought it made sense.

"He has the same style as Yutang?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"That's not true." Pang Yu shook his head, "Anyway, he's not the type of pig friend or dog friend. He will be my friend. In fact, it has something to do with Manji's business. Does anyone know that my sister is favored?"

"Do you want to make sugar cakes for this year's birthday banquet?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Pang Yu nodded.

Gongsun didn't understand very well, and was puzzled, "Aren't all the dim sum in the palace made by the imperial dining room? Why do they make it for outsiders?"

"Of course, what Manji makes is not the snacks eaten at the birthday banquet, but as a return gift for officials and foreigners to take back, just like ordinary people. After eating birthday wine, they have to bring things like longevity cakes when they go home. The main business of Manji is to make these high-quality sugar cakes packed in brocade boxes, otherwise, who can sell so many properties just by selling dim sum?"

"Oh..." Gongsun understood.

"Speaking of it." Pang Yu folded his arms and asked the little four to tease, "Do you know what Manji is selling the best these days?"

The fourth son blinked and tilted his head to look at Pang Yu.

Pang Yu smirked, and poked Xiaosi's cheek, "Don't shake the sugar!"

The fourth son narrowed his eyes.

Pang Yu said, "When I met Mu Hua that day, he even said he wanted to treat you to dinner. Their candy is made according to your image, and the one that sells is good!"

The fourth son is angry, does Tang Budui need to follow his example?Isn't it just a soft dumpling if you don't shake the sugar?Wouldn't it be fine if you rub it round? It's disgusting!

Gongsun rubbed the little four with puffy cheeks, and sighed, the little four must not know that all the candies in Kaifeng are sold in strings of four or in boxes of four...to be exact, all the chubby candies in Kaifeng City Dim sum is sold four by four, and people in Kaifeng now say that "four" is the most auspicious!

"Shall we go to Manji later?" Zhan Zhao suggested.

Bai Yutang nodded, probably the fact that Zhan Zhao said he saw the fish tail had something to do with Manji Sugar Shop.

Pang Yu leaned over and asked Zhan Zhao, "Hey, is there something wrong with Manji? If something happens to his house, what about the snacks on the day of the birthday party?"

"Whether or not something happens depends on the situation. I'll find out for you first. If it's really not easy, you'd better change to another house as soon as possible. There's a big problem here." After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he took the Juque and pulled it to Bai Yutang, and went to Manji I bought sugar.

The fourth son looks at Tianzun.

Tianzun looked at the fourth son.

The fourth son said, "I also want to buy some candy."

Tianzun nodded, "Then let's go buy sugar first and then go to work?"

The fourth son nodded, and Tianzun carried him and followed him to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Gongsun asked Zhao Pu, "What is Tianzun and the fourth son plotting?"

Zhao Pu spread his hands and asked Gongsun, "What happened to me last night? Didn't Zhan Zhao investigate the court lady's suicide case? Why did you go to Manji?"

Gongsun talked about what they found about Granny Liang last night.

"Xu Ji..." Zhao Pu said to himself, "My mother will talk about it occasionally."

Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu curiously, "Why is the empress dowager talking about Xu Ji?"

Zhao Pudao, "When my mother first came to Zhongyuan, everything was fresh. She especially liked sweet things. The first Zhongyuan dessert she ate was Xu Ji's Frosted Sugar Apricot Blossom Cake! She liked it so much. , so I bought a lot, and I ate a piece in the carriage when I entered the palace, but I forgot to wipe my mouth, so I met my father for the first time with a mouthful of candy, and my father stared at her and smiled for a long time."

Gongsun couldn't help laughing, "So interesting?"

Zhao Pu nodded. The first time Gongsun saw him talking about his father was with a smile, "My father should have been sober back then. The Chinese translation of my mother's foreign name is Minghua..."

"Ah!" Gongsun clapped his hands, "I'm still wondering what the Frosted Sugar Apricot Blossom Cake is, so it's Minghua Cake! It's really powdered sugar."

Zhao Pu nodded, suddenly wanted to laugh, and asked Gongsun, "Now, my mother eats Minghua Cake one day a year. Do you know when it is?"

Gongsun thought for a while, and asked with some uncertainty, "Uh... the date of your father's death?"

Zhao Pu pinched his face, "Smart, my mother scolded 'that damned' while eating."

Gongsun couldn't laugh or cry.

……

At this time, at the gate of Manji Sugar Shop.

Zhan Zhao folded his arms and looked into the door, and asked Bai Yutang, "What do you think?"

Bai Yutang stared at the door, nodded, "I understand what you mean."

"Is it similar?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Bai Yutang nodded, "Like!"

"Is it indescribable?"

Bai Yutang followed suit and nodded, "Indeed..."

Tianzun and the fourth son looked at each other behind them - what's the matter?

Coincidentally, I saw a young man walking out of the door of the shop, followed by a tall and thin old man respectfully sending him out, "Young Master's order is that we will definitely finish it..."

Zhan Zhao and the others subconsciously went to see that young man, the young master...

And the young master just raised his head, saw the fourth son in Tianzun's hand, and saw him clapping his hands, and said, "Oh! Little God of Wealth!"
