Chapter 234: Give the secret signal to drink tea

Thinking that everything was almost settled, Baicao Shi planned to put the research and development of spice soap, soap and bath beans on the agenda while waiting for Si Fei's stitches to be removed. This is the first step for beauty and cosmeceutical products to open up the market.

Baicao poems are full of energy.

But something happened that interrupted her plan.

The situation at that time was this.

Ding Xiang knocked on her door, "Madam, there is a boy outside the door asking to see you. He claims to be the scholar of the Crown Prince of Northern Qi."

"The Crown Prince of Northern Qi?"

Baicao Shi was cleaning the dirty blood from pig pancreas, which she wholesaled from Dongshi. It just looked a bit disgusting, and there was still fat hanging on it that needed to be processed. Ding Xiang subconsciously wanted to cover her nose.

Baicao Shi didn't care about the little maid's thoughts. Those who are ignorant will see corruption in their eyes, and those with far-sightedness will see wealth. Once the market for soap opens, even the noble ladies of Yanjing will rush to buy it in the future.

"I'll go take a look."

After washing her hands, Baicao Shi walked out of the room, "Come with me to take a look."

"Ah?" This sentence was a bit unexpected. Ding Xiang didn't react for a while, and then said "Oh" again.

When I arrived outside the vermilion gate of the palace, I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old book boy. His clothes were relatively thin, his hands were in his sleeves, and he was pacing back and forth. It was probably cold, so he was walking around to keep warm.

"Oh, is it Miss Bai?" the little book boy asked respectfully, "My name is Yun An, and by order of my family's heir apparent, I would like to invite Mr. Zheyu and Miss Bai to come over to attend a tea party at the end of the twelfth lunar month."

Baicao Shi looked at the little book boy, whose name was elegant. It's just that the Crown Prince of Northern Qi had an embarrassing status. He had met him twice and seemed quite downcast. But now he was going to hold a tea party. Aren't you afraid of being stared at by so many pairs of eyes?

She looked at Ding Xiang beside her, and looked around inadvertently, still maintaining a decent smile on her face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind invitation, but I have to go to the palace that day for a follow-up consultation with the empress. In terms of time...

"

Yun An was very embarrassed, probably quite uneasy, and his face turned red. "When will it be convenient for Miss Bai? My eldest son..."

Baicao Shi raised her hand to stop what he was going to say next, "Please convey my words to the Crown Prince exactly as they are. A good time and a good drink must come at the right time. What a coincidence, Mr. Zheyu and I both

If something happens, let’s put the tea party to rest.”

With that said, Baicao Shi turned around and walked towards the house.

Not to mention the little book boy Yun An, even Ding Xiang was confused. Are you going to refuse?

"Madam, is it inappropriate to refuse like this?"

Baicao Shi paused, looked back, and said in a cold voice, "I'm not familiar with the Northern Qi Crown Prince. Going to attend his tea party would be nothing but embarrassing. It's better to sleep at home."

Ding Xiang secretly cursed, she seemed to be busy with everything on weekdays and never slept for even a moment. How could it be the reason today?

If you don't understand, don't think about it. If she doesn't leave the door, she won't take another step forward. Yu Dingxiang is the best.

Outside the gate, Yun An stamped his feet, turned around and walked back.

The things the prince told me have not been completed, and I still don’t know how to deal with the prince when I look back. That girl looks smiling, pretty and sweet, how come she refuses someone and doesn’t even have any room for maneuver?

When he returned to West Zhuque Street, he saw Shen Liqing, the goddess of destiny, getting into the carriage. He turned sideways, paid tribute with his eyes, and then entered the hall slowly.

At this time, Bai Shaoze was making tea. The room was very cold, and the burning charcoal was of poor quality. Once too much was burned, it would produce thick smoke, so he was determined not to burn it as long as he could. But now, in order to practice making tea, he had to

Don't boil water.

Hearing the voice, Bai Shaoze did not raise his eyes, but asked calmly, "Have you placed the invitation?"

Yun An was unhappy and not in high spirits, "Miss Bai refused and said she would go to the palace that day."

Bai Shaoze stopped the tea in his hand and asked, "Did she really say that?"

The little book boy nodded his head like a fool, humming non-stop, and then imitated the Baicao poem. "Please convey my words to the crown prince exactly as they are. Good times and good wines must come at the right time."

, Unfortunately, Mr. Zheyu and I both have something to do, so let’s call it a day.”

Bai Shaoze walked to the desk, rubbed his hands, picked up a wolf hair, dipped it in ink, and wrote these words on the paper. "Huh?" It seems wrong. Beautiful scenery in a good time, good wine in a good time?

"Your Majesty, you haven't seen the reality clearly. Everyone worships those who are superior and those who are inferior. With our status, who would be willing to come?" Xiao Yun'an said resentfully.

Bai Shaoze seemed to be very happy. The ink pen came down and he circled two words, one for "wine" and one for "time".

Drinking time?

"Yun'an, don't be downcast. The tea party has turned into a private banquet. Prepare some exquisite stir-fries and wine. It's still the 22nd."

Yun An opened his mouth wide, not understanding the prince's confused confidence. "What time?"

"Drinking time. Oh no, it's Youshi time. Go quickly." Bai Shaoze was filled with joy.

Yun An stared at the two circles on the paper and suddenly realized it, but he didn't know why. What he understood was the secret language of Baicao Poetry, but what he didn't understand was why it came to this.

Bai Shaoze hit his boy's head with a pen, "When something happens, use your brain. Think about where they live and what they do. Extraordinary people will naturally do extraordinary things."

The research and development of Baicao Shi is still continuing.

She removed the fat from the pig pancreas, then ground it into a paste, then added soy flour and agarwood spices, mixed them evenly, and began to dry them. The natural drying process is when the pancreas is completed.

After making the soap, she tried to make some soap and bath beans, which are recorded in Sun Simiao's "Qian Jin Yao Fang" and "Qian Jin Yi Fang".

"It's hard to give up on natural beauty, but it's a pity that I don't get tired of it no matter what I eat. I have to work hard, and I want to become a heartthrob." Because she was so excited, Baicao Shi transformed into a girl from a girl group, and softly hummed the most popular and popular song in the modern world.

's songs.

Until she realized the shadow cast from above.

She raised her head suddenly and saw Zheyu looking at her critically. "Are you going to become a heartthrob?"

Baicao Shi chuckled, she was the one he was talking about on the spot, how embarrassing! "That, that, the lyrics are just for fun, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

Zheyu said "Hmm" meaningfully, "Is this also a song from your hometown?"

Ever since Baicao Shi mentioned his hometown, Zheyu seemed to be obsessed with it and would always ask about it.

"Well, that's right. Yubao, you're back. I'll make delicious food for you today, fennel and pig pancreas, lotus root and pig pancreas soup, stewed yam and pig pancreas..."

Stop it! Are you sure it's delicious and not punishment? How do you eat something like pig pancreas? Since marrying Baicao Shi, Zheyu has eaten countless weird things. "Shi Shi, I heard that you

Rejected the invitation from the Crown Prince of Northern Qi."

This turn was a bit quick, and Zheyu's attitude was unclear. Baicao Shi blinked and said along the steps: "Yeah, is there a problem? He and I are not familiar with each other. There are many eyes and ears around the palace, and it is better to do less than to do more. "

Zhe Yu nodded politely and said: "The Crown Prince of Northern Qi and the Shen family are neighbors, but there is trouble in the court, and everyone is paying attention to Taifu Shen. Even the Crown Prince of Northern Qi is getting more attention, so you are right to refuse."

Based on Baicao Shi's understanding of Zheyu, I always felt that there was something in his words. He who cherished words like gold would not say anything for no reason. His interest was aroused, and Baicao Shi simply asked: "Yu Bao, from a small country How can a proton become the neighbor of the current imperial master?"
