Chapter 88 Assimilating(1/2)
"Aunt Cheng, didn't you say that you wanted to introduce the princess to everyone so that she could come to our side? We can't wait any longer." Jiang Niannian walked over from the other side of the yard and said to the Prime Minister's wife.
In order to allow the young people to have more fun, the ladies and ladies stayed in different courtyards.
Jiang Niannian had been waiting for Sheng Qingyuan to come, but she couldn't wait for her, so she could only come over and urge her.
The Prime Minister's wife smiled lightly and said to Sheng Qingyuan: "Princess, we are relatively old. We are afraid that the princess will feel bored if she stays with us all the time. Why don't we just go there and have fun first?"
You can have a meal, and my wife will send someone to call the princess?"
Sheng Qingyuan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
The Prime Minister's wife warned Jiang Niannian: "Niannian, you have to be careful."
Jiang Niannian wanted Sheng Qingyuan to play with them so actively, so she could guess what she was thinking.
However, what the princess said just now was beyond all of their expectations.
After Sheng Qingyuan left, the ladies here breathed a sigh of relief.
"This Princess Jing is much more powerful than we imagined."
"No, I was so scared when she came over just now. I was afraid that she would say something I shouldn't have said?"
"Oh? It seems you have a secret."
"Go, go, go, who doesn't have some secrets of their own? It's just... Princess Jing knows too much, doesn't she?"
"Maybe everyone just checked a little bit, and most of what she said is not a secret."
The Prime Minister's wife looked at her and said, "Can you remember so many things about people you have never met before?"
The lady was stunned when she heard this.
"Maybe, maybe it's okay to spend more time."
"So, you have to guess today's banquet many days in advance, and also guess the people who will come here, and then write down their situations one by one." The Prime Minister's wife said meaningfully.
Many of the ladies present were not fools. After listening to the Prime Minister's wife's words, they understood something in their hearts.
Not to mention that some of the things Sheng Qingyuan just said are not well known, even if everything she said is known to everyone, if she writes it down and says it all here so calmly and unmistakably, it at least shows that she is absolutely
Not an ordinary country girl.
Not to be underestimated.
Jiang Niannian and the others didn't know what was happening here, and they were all ready and expecting the princess to make a fool of herself.
"I thought the princess didn't bother to come to us, so she stopped coming." A woman in a yellow dress said loudly.
Sheng Qingyuan looked at her and said with a faint smile: "I accidentally said a few more words just now, so I stayed a little longer."
"I heard that the princess was born in an ordinary small mountain village. We have never seen a place like that since we were raised in the capital. We are a little curious. Why don't the princess tell us what is special about that kind of small mountain village?
"
"Yes, the capital is nice, but we have seen it for so many years. Maybe it would be interesting to hear about a remote mountain village like that."
Sheng Qingyuan looked at these people with obvious disdain for the joke, but without any anger: "Okay."
Jiang Niannian raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Is she really planning to talk about her small mountain village?
Sheng Qingyuan said unhurriedly: "The place I stayed before is called Zhushan Village. The village is as its name suggests. The mountains nearby are covered with many bamboos. In spring, you can dig up many bamboos on the mountains and use them for cooking.
of tender bamboo shoots.”
"What are bamboo shoots? Can they be used for cooking?"
"Of course you can. Bamboo shoots have a crispy texture and there are many ways to make them. For example, you can cook bamboo shoots..."
As Sheng Qingyuan was talking, she started talking about how to make bamboo shoots.
Her description was very detailed and vivid, making it sound as if a bamboo shoot had appeared in front of you, and many people present could not help but swallow their saliva.
"I heard that the Tianxiang Restaurant that opened some time ago seems to sell bamboo shoots, but I don't know if it's the same as what the princess said?"
Sheng Qingyuan said with a smile: "The first batch of the sour bamboo shoots I made was sold to Tianxianglou. Tianxianglou has a delivery service. If you want to try it, send someone to Tianxianglou to order food and it will be delivered here.
.”
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
I have to say that when they just listened to Sheng Qingyuan's words, they were all aroused in their stomachs, but thinking that they were originally here to ridicule her, they couldn't lose face.
Jiang Niannian said: "Is it really that delicious?"
Sheng Qingyuan said: "Whether it tastes good or not varies from person to person, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone. Therefore, I don't have to say whether it tastes good or not. If you are interested, just order some and try it.
"
Jiang Niannian said: "Since you recommend it so strongly, then let's reluctantly give it a try."
With that said, Jiang Niannian called the boy and went to Tianxiang Tower to order some dishes made from bamboo shoots.
While waiting for the food from Tianxianglou to be delivered, Jiang Niannian said again: "Is there nothing else but delicious food? There is nothing special about this."
"In addition to being made into food, the bamboo near Zhushan Village is of very good quality and is very suitable for being made into various furniture and bamboo sculptures." Sheng Qingyuan said...
Then he added: "There are many craftsmen in Zhushan Village. Although they are from ordinary backgrounds, they have a pair of skillful hands."
Sheng Qingyuan looked around and saw that the fruit basket used to hold fruits in the pavilion happened to be produced by Zhuxinfang, so she got up and walked there.
Everyone followed her to the past, and Sheng Qingyuan said: "This was made by the people of Zhushan Village."
The first reaction when everyone heard this was disbelief.
Jiang Niannian said: "How is this possible? This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the things used in the Prime Minister's Mansion are excellent. How can such a remote mountain village like yours produce such good things?"
Sheng Qingyuan said: "This is indeed true. If you don't believe it, you can take off all these fruits and look at the bottom. It has the words Zhuxinfang engraved on it."
Jiang Niannian was brave and had a good relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he took out all the fruits in the basket, turned the fruit basket over, and sure enough he saw the words "Zhuxinfang".
Sheng Qingyuan continued: "Everyone has their own strengths. Regardless of their origin, they are more likely to be exposed to bamboo and will naturally have more opportunities to understand this craft. Practice makes perfect."
Sheng Qingyuan looked at a woman in red not far away and said: "Another example is Miss Gu. Miss Gu's father is a general and her mother is also a general. Therefore, compared with most noble ladies in the capital, Miss Gu's martial arts skills are inferior.
Much better."
Then he looked at the woman in blue next to him: "Another example is Miss Qin. Her maternal ancestor lived in Baihua Valley. Miss Qin lived in her maternal grandfather's house for a long time when she was a child, so she is particularly sensitive to these fragrances. Therefore, she has quite a lot of experience in blending fragrances."
.”
Finally, he said: "Or Miss Shu, to put it bluntly, Miss Shu's grandfather was once just an ordinary scholar, but Miss Shu's grandfather loved learning deeply, constantly studied various classics, and was very good at thinking. In the end,
Become a great Confucian of a generation."
The ladies who were mentioned looked at her blankly when they heard that Sheng Qingyuan spoke in such detail.
Sheng Qingyuan smiled lightly, turned his attention back to the fruit basket in front of him, and said: "The masters who make bamboo carvings do not have good backgrounds, and they do not understand poetry and calligraphy, but they have their own unique skills in making bamboo carvings.
I think, if we talk about this aspect, aren’t they masters in this field?”
Everyone fell into silence listening to her words.
Jiang Niannian looked at her in surprise, and after being quiet for a while, he said, "The princess said that because you yourself were born in a poor family, so you thought of giving status to someone with the same background as you, right?"
Sheng Qingyuan looked at Jiang Niannian and said: "This is not to mention my identity, I am just stating the facts. To put it more seriously, do you still remember where Taizu was from?"
public
People were speechless.
Taizu...
Taizu was a fish seller from the beginning...
"Calm down and learn to see the bright spots in everyone, and you will feel that the world will become a much better place." Sheng Qingyuan said to them with a slight smile.
Sheng Qingyuan said: "Moreover, in fact, if you imagine, a piece of bamboo that originally seemed ordinary turned into such an exquisite bamboo sculpture, this process is actually a very interesting thing."
Jiang Niannian thought for a while, called a boy, and gave instructions. After a while, the boy came with a few bamboos.
Jiang Niannian said: "Since the princess said that it is a very interesting process to turn bamboo into bamboo sculptures, why not teach us how to do it."
Everyone was waiting to see how Sheng Qingyuan would respond.
"Okay, but I can only do some simple ones, and I can't do the difficult ones. However, if you want to make bamboo carvings, you still need some tools." Sheng Qingyuan said.
"What do you need?" Jiang Niannian asked.
Sheng Qingyuan smiled lightly, "Xuan Yu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Yu appeared in front of Sheng Qingyuan.
The sudden appearance shocked many people present.
Sheng Qingyuan said: "Go to Zhuxinfang and get some bamboo carving tools, just make some basic ones."
"yes."
Xuan Yu responded, and within about a cup of tea, Xuan Yu came back.
Everyone: "???"
