After I wear the book, I use the food to attract the attention of the big guys

"Fireworks are too noisy." Chi Qing said lazily, but his eyes stayed on Xie Niannian's expression. Seeing that she was really disappointed, she couldn't help but change the subject: "But it is still within the acceptable range."

Xie Niannian knew in his heart that this was his promise, and he laughed again: "See you tomorrow!" After speaking three steps at a time, he returned to the room, and the wind brought by his walk seemed to be full of joy.

At dawn the next day, Xie Niannian woke up.Probably after making lotus cakes, Chi Qing was invited to watch the fireworks. She stayed up late yesterday but she was still full of energy.

On the contrary, Chi Qing, who always gets up early on weekdays, sees no movement.

Xie Niannian knew that she stayed with him very late last night, so he carefully lit the fire to cook porridge for fear of waking her up.

After the breakfast is ready, the whole village is almost awake, and the shadows of laborers can be seen faintly on the ridges in the distance.

Xie Niannian left porridge for Chi Qing, wrote a note to explain his whereabouts, and then went out with the little donkey.

Near Shangsi, Xuanzhou City looks different every day.Some street vendors have already decorated willow branches and flowers, and the smell of newly opened wine is wafting on the street, which is very attractive. People chatting are talking about where to take a bath, and which wine feast to attend.

Xie Niannian has a clear goal, she wants to customize the wooden box that Shangsi used that day.After visiting several stores, I finally chose it.

The wood is just ordinary white pine wood, but the master carved out spring flowers and plants with a few strokes, which is simple yet chic.

After estimating how many shortbread he would make, Xie Niannian placed an order and made an appointment to pick it up the day after tomorrow.

I also bought some oiled paper for ordinary pastries, and Xie Niannian wandered to the snack street.

When Aunt Wu, who was so busy, saw that Xie Nian was coming, she called her over and gave her a jujube cake.

Xie Niannian took a bite, the jujube cake was still sweet and soft, but it had a little more aroma of roses, and it lingered in the mouth.

"Sister-in-law Wu added rose juice?" Xie Niannian finished eating in two or three bites, clapped his hands, and went to help sister-in-law Wu pack the jujube cake and handed it to the guests.

Mrs. Wu looked at Xie Niannian with a smile: "Yes, isn't it coming to Shangsi recently? It's also in season to add some fragrance of flowers."

"It's delicious." Xie Niannian licked his lips, thinking that he could also make some flower cakes.

Hearing Xie Niannian's praise, Sister-in-Law Wu's eyes narrowed into a smile: "Miss Xie is still sweet-mouthed, which family married you, wouldn't they be eating honey every day?

The Shangsi Festival is a good opportunity, remember to go and see if there is anyone you like and make a good marriage. "

Xie Niannian was already thin-skinned and couldn't stand being teased, so he blushed instantly: "Don't, don't tease me, Shangsi saved people."

"Oh? Which son, tell me? I'm also good at being a matchmaker." Aunt Wu hurriedly said.

Xie Niannian originally wanted to say that he had already dated someone else, but he didn't mean to find someone to marry, but the description became darker and darker.

"Oh, no, I didn't." Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Wu interrupted him again.

"Isn't it a young master? Could it be a girl? I can say girl too!"

Seeing that Mrs. Wu was about to slap her chest to assure her, Xie Niannian hurriedly said: "I'm not ready to get married yet, she's just my friend!"

She couldn't control her volume for a while, and now not only Mrs. Wu heard it, but also the guests around her heard it clearly.

Mrs. Wu deliberately dragged her tone: "My friend—" Even the guests thanked Nian Nian meaningfully.

She covered her face, thinking a little hopelessly, forget about the destruction of the world.

Seeing her helpless expression, Mrs. Wu also understood that Xie Niannian was indeed dating her friend, so she didn't say any more.

"Miss Xie didn't come yesterday, I'm afraid I don't know yet, that Xu Wang was punished thirty times and expelled from the Governor's Mansion." Aunt Wu whispered into Xie Niannian's ear.

Xie Niannian was taken aback for a moment, hadn't this matter been resolved long ago, why is there still a follow-up?

Before she could figure it out, Mrs. Wu continued to say: "His eldest son, I heard that he was summoned by the sage to be an official in the capital. It's a lucky fate. How can a dude who oppresses the villagers still have a bright future?"

Xie Niannian frowned: "Sister-in-law Wu is careful, if someone listens to it, they will say that you are talking about the Holy Spirit."

"I'm too lazy to take care of the governor's mansion, I just want to be safe and smooth."

"That's right." Mrs. Wu echoed, "Don't ordinary people just want to live a good life."

After chatting with Mrs. Wu for a few more words, Xie Niannian said hello and left.

It was still early when I got home, but the courtyard was quiet.She went around the house, yelled a few times, but couldn't find Chi Qing.

Thinking that he probably went out, Xie Niannian simply started making the unfinished shortbread.

The lotus cake is exquisite and elegant, the crabapple cake is gorgeous, and the peach blossom cake is simple but not inferior to the previous two.She plans to focus on these three types, and add some other pastries to make a gift box.

Only the price needs to be considered.Most of what Xie Niannian cooks is approachable food, and he doesn't often buy high-priced delicate dim sum in Xuanzhou City, which is a bit nerve-wracking for a while.

So when Chi Qing returned to the yard, she saw Xie Niannian with big eyes sitting next to the little donkey. The little donkey was grazing, and she looked up at the sky.

Chi Qing walked in front of Xie Niannian before she realized it and smiled at Chi Qing.

"What are you doing here?" Chi Qing handed Xie Niannian a package, and opened it to see that it was fresh and crispy dates.

Xie Niannian randomly picked a bigger one, wiped it with his sleeve and started eating.She still had a jujube in her mouth, and she spoke vaguely: "Wait for you to go home."

"Did something happen?" Chi Qing saw that she had something on her mind, so she asked directly.

"It's nothing, I just don't know how much to sell. Tell me, how about three times the cost?" Xie Niannian stood up and patted the dust off his clothes, walked into the kitchen, and showed Chi Qing the gift box she made.

The flower cakes in the wooden box are arranged together, and dotted with snow-white sugar cakes, which looks like a flower basket at first glance.

Chi Qing glanced at it and said without hesitation: "Sell five times."

"Five times?"

Chi Qing picked up a piece of sugar cake that was placed on the cutting board and took a bite: "There is no shortage of rich people in Xuanzhou City, and they are not willing to buy it even if the price is cheap."

Xie Niannian counted how many gift boxes she could make with her fingers, and was surprised by the huge profit. She smiled and sighed: "I can't see that Miss Chi has the potential to be a black-hearted businessman."

"I'm not a businessman, but I'm really black-hearted." Chi Qing replied indifferently, eating a whole piece of sweet cake.

That being said, Xie Niannian still chose Chi Qing's pricing.Rich people also care about their face when they hold banquets. If the price is low, it will not be in line with their net worth.

In the next day or two, Xie Niannian was busy preparing materials at home, and when the custom-made wooden box was brought home, it was not far from Shangsi.

She set up a stall selling sugar cakes and gift boxes on the snack street.

Some old customers who are used to her barbecue are willing to join her when they see her selling dim sum instead.

"The lady boss's pastries are also delicious." Someone exclaimed: "This gift box is also very beautiful. I have never seen it before. How is the price?"

Xie Niannian said the price with a smile, everyone who heard it was stunned, and then only weighed some ordinary pastries.She didn't care, and these people weren't her target customers.

She took two sets of wrapped gift boxes, sent one to the Zhou Mansion, and handed the other to Xie Pengju.

She accepted the Zhou Mansion's favor and gave the gift box to repay Zhou Ci, and secondly, as the head teacher of Wenyuan Academy, Zhou Ci had a lot of friends, so she might be able to promote herself.

Sure enough, within a few days, the reputation of the lotus cake on the snack street had already spread to the ears of the housekeepers who picked snacks for the masters in the major mansions.

Her shortbread, shaped like a lotus, is placed on a small plate and flows down the water, really like a blossoming lotus, quite elegant.And the price of the gift box is only normal in the eyes of the literati family.

Xie Niannian received a surge in orders, so he simply closed the stall and concentrated on making gift boxes.

But no matter whether she finished it or not, she would go to bed at the hour of the day and never stay up late to catch up with work.

After being so busy for a few days, I finally completed all the gift boxes the day before the Shangsi Festival and made a lot of money.

Send out all the gift boxes in the morning, and Xie Niannian stays at home in the afternoon to make some ordinary sugar cakes.

Pear blossoms and roses are squeezed out to add flavor and color to the sugar cake. After making the pastry for a few days, Xie Nian Nian's whole body smells of flowers and honey.

"You've earned enough money, what do you plan to do next?" Chi Qing leaned against the kitchen door and looked at her.

Chi Qing hasn't been out much in the past few days, either at home watching Xie Niannian cook, or practicing sword dancing in the yard.

Xie Niannian replied without thinking, "I don't have any plans, I'm waiting to watch the fireworks tomorrow."

"Are you going to sell sugar cakes with me tomorrow, or come and find me later?" Xie Niannian asked Chi Qing with a smile.

"Come to look for you in Youshi, see you at Hanjiang Ferry."

Xie Niannian nodded, looking forward to it even more, she had never seen the fireworks of the ancients with her own eyes.

On the day of the Shangsi Festival, by the Hanjiang River.

The Hanjiang River passes outside Xuanzhou City and is also an important canal.

At this time, the willow trees on the riverside are green and the spring flowers are just in time. The people, together with the old and the young, enjoy the spring outing along the riverside, which is very lively.

Xie Niannian also met several noble girls who made an appointment to go out together, and when he met the son he liked, he sent a servant to greet each other and get to know each other.

Of course, there are also sons who give small poems to ladies, and there are many couples.

Xie Niannian knew that what Mrs. Wu said was true, Shangsi is indeed a good time for a blind date.

Along the way, hawkers often sell garlands made of flower branches, sachets and purses, and various kinds of food.

Xie Niannian took his own little donkey cart and sold them while walking. The beautiful snacks are the most popular among women. The key is that Xie Niannian makes really good-looking ones.

Different from ordinary sugar cakes, her sugar cakes are decorated with flower petals, dyed with flower juice, and carefully pinched into various flower shapes.Although it is not as delicate as the lotus crisp, it is also interesting.

But in one afternoon, Xie Niannian was sold out.She simply went to the city to find a place to store the donkey cart, and went to the riverside to eat and stroll alone.

The literati and poets set up banquets on painted boats on the river, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be transmitted to the riverside.Among them, on the largest painting boat, is the Liushang Banquet of Wenyuan Academy.

There were quite a few people watching from afar on the shore, and Xie Niannian also went up to join in the fun.

Just outside the crowd, I heard two people discussing.

"What do you think Mr. Zhou will write this time?"

"Didn't he write a parallel essay last time, satirizing Fengjing's curfew for being too strict? This time, he might talk about the Governor's Mansion."

After Xie Niannian listened, he was speechless for a while, then turned around and left silently.

It is estimated that Xie Niannian will follow the flow of people to Hanjiangdu when it is approaching Youshi, and the fireworks show will also be held there.

The sun has already set, but there are lanterns flowing down the water, reflecting the river's surface red.

Lanterns were also lit all around, and the crowds were crowded for a while, which reminded Xie Niannian of the night market in reality.

The lights shone brightly on each other, and the crowd crowded shoulder to shoulder. Even so, Xie Niannian could see Chi Qing standing by the railing of the ferry at a glance.

She didn't wear a bamboo hat, folded her hands on her chest, and stared at the river with heavy eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

Probably due to Chi Qing's temperament, even though it was a crowded ferry, the crowd still kept a certain distance from her.

It seems that Chi Qing is out of tune with the people around him.

Passing through the dense crowd, Xie Niannian walked up quickly, and before she got close, she saw Chi Qing suddenly raised her eyes, and thousands of lights fell into her eyes, as if seeing a river of stars.

Xie Niannian couldn't help laughing out two small dimples, and leaned against Chi Qing intimately: "It's best to see beauties under the lamp."

Chi Qing glanced at her inexplicably, and said in a low voice, "Indeed."

"It's so lonely watching fireworks alone, it reminds people of something they can't ask for." Xie Niannian looked up, but there was nothing in the sky at this time, and the fireworks show hadn't started yet.

"Two people are different." Xie Niannian did not continue to say where the difference was, but only looked at the dimly lit Xuanzhou City in the distance.

The wind came from the river and stirred a strand of her hair, and the crowd was quiet for a moment.

The next moment, the red flames shot straight up from the shore, and the crowd burst into cheers like a wave, louder than louder.

When the first firework exploded, Xie Niannian suddenly turned around on tiptoe and covered Chi Qing's ears.

"If you have someone worth watching with you, you will feel that the world is really good."

Xie Niannian's voice was almost drowned by the sound of fireworks, but it was extremely clear in Chi Qing's ears.

The author has something to say:

The son of Shangsi saves the girl from going out: send sugar cakes, watch the fireworks together, praise the girl for her beauty, and tell the girl that it is worth it

Shangsi Jie Xie Niannian when Chi Qing went out: give sugar cakes, watch fireworks together, praise Chi Qing's beauty, and say it's worth it to Chi Qing

Chi Qing: Heh.
