Chapter 279 Poison
Mulan stood in front of Zhiruo with obvious trepidation, although she still had a hint of awkwardness on her face...conceited, the expectation and tension in her eyes betrayed her. Even so, she still stood there in a proper manner, no longer as impetuous as before.
Zhiruo nodded secretly: It seems that the rules are not learned in vain, and Ajuan’s teachings are also a small achievement.
"Sit down," Zhiruo said warmly, "I heard from Ajuan's sister-in-law that you don't want to learn piano, chess, and painting? You are still young, so it's not bad to learn more."
Seeing Zhiruo's tone was gentle, Mulan did not scold her, and slowly let go, and was not so nervous. She replied in a low voice: "Yes, big girl, I have thought about it. A small girl like me, on the one hand, it's useless to learn those things, and on the other hand, it's not good to learn slowly, and it's waste of time. It's better to embroider more veils for money. Big girl, I think all the extra time I spent on learning the girl red and learning embroidery. In the future, I want to learn double-sided embroidery with Sister Xidie beside the second girl. She can now embroider simple monochrome double-sided embroidery, and said she can teach me in the future."
"Oh? Do you like embroidery very much?" Zhiruo asked. The girl in front of her, who was green and shining with her eyes, was also a smart and good girl as long as she could get rid of her original bad habits. Mu Song and Mulan's brother and sister both looked with their father and were beautiful. She was not as thick and dark as Lu's. This is really something that Mulan should be extremely grateful for.
"Yes," Mulan nodded happily and said, becoming happier and happier, "Sister Ajuan and others said that I have a talent for learning embroidery. Every piece of purse and handkerchief I make now can pass. I will spend some time learning more complicated patterns, and then embroider more every month, and I can get more monthly money."
"However," Mulan suddenly paused, as if she was afraid that Zhiruo would misunderstand, so she would only make her famous after learning from a girl. She quickly added, "I still have to learn to recognize words, write, and arithmetic. There is also cooking skills, and I want to continue to learn for a while, which will be useful in the future." She doesn't like cooking so much, and it should be enough to learn to make a table of hand-made dishes, right? In the past, my grandmother always said that women's cooking skills are not good, making their family uncomfortable, and it is embarrassing to be in front of guests.
Zhiruo was happy: Haha, this girl is quite realistic, I choose practical things to learn, which is good!
"Yes," Zhiruo agreed immediately, "You are learning something, so you will naturally choose the ones you are interested in. If you have any requirements and ideas in the future, as long as it makes sense or not out of line, you can directly tell me or Ajuan's wife like this. Even if I don't agree, I will tell you why you disagree and will not scold you casually."
Mulan's little face turned red, nodded and looked at Zhiruo thoughtfully. Why did she think the eldest girl has changed a little? She is not annoying, and she is gentle to her, not like her mother at all. There are also the ladies of the Yin family in Beijing who said they are stingy, bad temper, ignorant, and only care about protecting the money and are afraid that they will take advantage of it...
She didn't know much about other things, but although she did not treat her as a cousin who wore gold and silver or called slaves and maids during her time in Meizhuang, she had much better food and clothing than at home. Ajuan's wife took good care of her and told her the principles of being a human being. Others were also very nice to her. No one laughed at her because of what her mother did, or pointed at her like those neighbors and said, "There is a mother like her, and she has a daughter like her."
Well, no, now every time she goes back, there seem to be fewer and fewer people pointing at her. Many neighbors envious of her reading and numbers, and even walking, speaking and dressing like those ladies from rich families.
If the big girl hadn't forced her to come to Meizhuang, it would be difficult for her to be enviable, right? She would only be laughed at for having a heartless mother.
It was not until Mulan gave a gift and left, Rudong exclaimed: "Mulan can really learn it well, it doesn't seem like pretending. Is this what people say is good bamboo shoots?"
Zhiruo glared at Rudong with a funny look: "Speak softly! Don't talk nonsense! Don't just understand the child, you are hit by you again. What is Dezhu? Uncle Changsheng is not bad? Mu Song is also a good one." A child under thirteen years old is still a primary school student in modern times. As long as he is willing to learn well and has the correct guidance, everything is still time.
Without the Lu family's insult, the Liu family is getting better and better now. Because there is no need to worry about Mulan, the Changsheng and his son put all their energy in the small restaurant. So, they just bought the shop next to the Liu family's small restaurant and hired an old lady to help wash vegetables and dishes, preparing to expand the shop. Of course, the shop was bought in the name of Zhihui.
Hearing that the shop next door was going to be transferred, Changsheng quickly inquire about all the information and negotiated with Qi Bo. Zhihui still bought it and rented it to him. He paid the silver. The father and son are becoming more and more excited now. They can be said to be full of energy. Every time they come to Meizhuang, they are full of energy, which makes Zhihui happy, saying that it is the grandmother and aunt who are in the nine springs that can smile.
Zhiruo was talking about Rudong about the Liu family’s snack bar, and Zi Su asked for a visit.
Seeing Zisu open the wooden box in his hand, there were five or six small porcelain bottles inside, Zhiruo joked: "Zisu, have you started to study seasonings, have you also started?"
Her master is a good food, and she opened a snack shop and a wine shop. She often said that she would open a restaurant in the future. In addition, she lived in Meizhuang with the best food. Now the whole Meizhuang is very enthusiastic about food. In addition to doing her job well, many of them have a hobby to study new products. Some people are studying pancake technology, some are devoted to researching pickles, and some are trying to make out the "First Braised Pork in Meizhuang" in her mouth...
Those people in the cake workshop were even more devoted to extending the snack recipes given by Zhiruo into a variety of varieties and flavors. The ingenuity of his thoughts made Zhiruo admire him and shouted that he would probably not be cut off in the new style in ten years.
Now looking at the small mini porcelain bottles in front of you, Zhiruo felt that he should be the truth. Isn’t such a delicate container suitable for seasonings?
Moreover, Zi Su is a very quiet woman. Her hands are slender, fair and clever. Apart from embroidery, uh, she thinks that if you have to study some cooking skills, you can only be used to configure seasonings. A good friend of her in modern times has a pair of such hands. She once took a photo, and in the laboratory, various long, short, large and small test tubes, glass bottles, and beautiful hands shuttled through it, giving people an incredible beauty, which is no less than the hands of a pianist.
