Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C138
On the third floor of Linlang Workshop, Jin Xiaolou planned to use it as everyone’s residences.
Currently, they had already cleaned up all the rooms in the zigzag corridor on the third floor. They moved all the bedstead, wardrobe, and other miscellaneous items up from the second floor, which were all arranged in a short period of time.
Jin Xiaolou’s room was located outside of her window facing the river. The sun was waning and the river surface was shining with light. She lit up a lamp and sat in front of the table next to the window.
Relying on the programs shshehad seen before, Jin Xiaolou came up with a few ideas herself. When she raised his head, he saw Lv Yun half squatting at the side, holding onto Lin’er’s hand as they walked.
Lin’er was as fat as a white radish as he rolled on the ground.
Jin Xiaolou laughed, raised her brush, and drew a walking car, which she handed over to the artisans to do tomorrow.
Halfway through drawing the blueprint, it was already dark, Lv Yun carried Lin’er onto the bed, and just as she turned on the lamp wick, she heard someone knocking on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw that the person outside was in wet clothes.
The firewood in the kitchen had suffered from the tide, so Xia Gu had already ordered someone to buy another dish. The dinner was delayed for a while, and I made this with my own little stove.
The plate was placed on the table. There was a plate of Poria Cocos, a plate of Golden Milk Soup and a round and thin piece of meat that Jin Xiaolou had never seen before.
Just the smell was enough to make one salivate.
Jin Xiaolou picked up a piece of Poria Cocos and nibbled on it. Its skin was as thin as paper and the stuffing inside was not only made from normal fruit kernels and osmanthus honey, it also had a rich fruit flavor.
Before she could even ask, Chai Yi had already opened her mouth and said, “I love eating peaches. I picked fresh peaches in the autumn and used them to marinate with sugar. I don’t know if they suit young lady’s taste.”
Jin Xiaolou kept nodding her head, “En, delicious! This is much better than the food I had at the Sapidity Sachet. It’s a little less sweet and a little more refreshing. ”
With that, he called out to Lv Yun: “Come and try it, we have reached Paradise, with such a skilled lady by our side, even in your dreams, you would have to laugh till you wake up.”
Lv Yun did not bother to bow, and followed Jin Xiaolou’s example. She forwent her chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat, and as expected, it was delicious to the point that she wrinkled her nose and squinted her eyes.
He hurriedly stuffed it into Lin’er’s mouth. As he ate, his eyes drifted towards another plate: “Miss Yue Yi, then what is this?”
Lv Yun was also referring to a scene that Jin Xiaolou had never seen before.
However, it still made people feel that it was a little far away. Hearing Lv Yun’s question, she pursed her lips and said indifferently: “This is the Flower Twisting Dreamy Cloud meat.”
“Flower Coiling Dreamy Cloud meat?” Lv Yun stuck out her tongue, “If the name of a piece of meat is so pleasant to hear, then I can’t even compare to a piece of meat …”
Chai Yi suddenly smiled: “No way.” Miss Lv Yun, your name is also very nice to hear. ”
Lv Yun picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of Flower Coiling Cloud Dream Meat, nodding her head, “It is indeed better than our shopkeeper’s.”
As he spoke, he bit down and his face instantly turned red. He moaned for a long time before he finally said clearly, “Un!” Delicious, it’s really delicious! ”
“If you like it, I’ll make it for you often.”
With that, he picked up the tray, no matter how much Lv Yun and Jin Xiaolou persuaded them to stay, they did not stay, and directly went out.
Just as they reached the corridor, Jiang Chan and the other two girls walked in from the left.
Jiang Chan saw the wet clothes, and her voice softened a little. She smiled sweetly at the wet clothes, “What delicious food is big sister wet clothes making? I can smell the fragrance from far away by the corridor. I don’t know when we’ll be able to taste elder sister’s cooking skills. ”
Beside Jiang Chan, a girl dressed in yellow who was called Xi Yu sneered: “A lowly person like us is not worthy of eating the food made in the hands of wet clothes. Didn’t she prepare food for the concubines in the outer court in the past?
“Hmph, serving master? Is a concubine considered master too?” “Almost as few as us.” Another girl dressed in purple called Si Rui followed along, “You don’t have much ability, but you’re the most skilled at trying to curry favor with others. You usually carry a pure and cold appearance, and rushed up like a dog in the background.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Jiang Chan frowned, and looked left and right, “Big sister Yi Yi Yi is not that kind of person.”
He then looked at the wet clothes and said gently, “Sister must be too busy. I don’t mind if I don’t eat.”
“Jiang Chan, there’s no need to pretend. The two of you don’t need to speak coldly either. My cooking skills, can be done for whoever I wish to do. It has nothing to do with the three of you.”
After speaking, he swept past the three of them and started walking forward.
“You!” Xi Yu was rendered speechless, her face red from anger.
Si Rui, on the other hand, frowned: “What you’re willing to do is your business, our mouths will grow, and whatever we’re willing to say, it’s none of your business!”
“Yes!” Xi Yu was busy, “Si Rui is right, our mouths are on our bodies, you don’t care!”
“Stop talking!” Seeing that the two were indignant, Jiang Chan’s eyes immediately became red, “It’s my fault, I caused you two to argue again, it’s all my fault, don’t blame my sister.”
“Seriously, what are you crying for!” Si Rui panicked, “Someone like her isn’t worth you speaking up for!”
“Right.” Xi Yu also followed along, “Si Rui is right, big sister Jiang Chan, those wet clothes have never been easy to get along with.
“But …” Jiang Chan immediately shed two drops of tears, and looked at the two of them with red eyes: “But that Lady Jin is new, and the big sister in wet clothes is here to deliver delicious food, to hiss and ask for warmth … “If that Miss Jin was deceived by her and turned her head towards her, and if she didn’t like me, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to find a place for myself in the Linlang Workshop from now on …”
“Aiyo, Cicada, don’t worry.” Si Rui caressed Jiang Chan’s face, “As the saying goes, seeing the human heart once in awhile, Lady Jin can tell that she’s a smart person, so naturally, I can tell whether the human heart is good or bad. Furthermore, even if Miss Jin were to face the Tide Cloth, you still have us, we are all facing you! ”
“Exactly!” Xi Yu continued, “What’s more, if she can deliver something to Lady Jin with her damp clothes, won’t we deliver it as well?”
“I just happened to have the previous year’s Dragon Well, and it was even given to me by a regular customer. I heard that he’s a noble young master, so this tea isn’t easy to obtain.” Xi Yu said as she arrived, “She will be sending the snacks to us in wet clothes. Lady Jin must have definitely been eating until her mouth is dry. We can just send her some tea to quench her thirst.”
Jin Xiaolou held the last piece of Poria Cocos, white cloud-like cake, and immediately thought of the past. She bought the osmanthus root powder candy from the Xin Ning and brought it back for Gui Zhi and Gao Lang to eat.
In the drafty little hut, three people were happily eating sweet cakes.
The sweetness had truly spread from his mouth into his heart.
Gui Zhi smiled warmly, and Gao Lang’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Jin Xiaolou really wished that they could also sit at this table and taste such delicious Poria Cocos.
“Sigh, I wonder if Gao Lang found the osmanthus branch or not …” Jin Xiaolou heaved a long sigh.
Lv Yun put down the Lin’er, and said word by word: “Gui Qi is a good person with a kind heart, I believe that a good person will be rewarded.”
Jin Xiaolou nodded, she did not believe in karma. If there really was karma, Zhou Shuli who had never done anything bad would not die.
However, when he was helpless, he could only place his hopes on this.
Just as she was thinking, there was another knock on the door. Jin Xiaolou rubbed the corners of her eyes, and said in a clear voice: “Come in.”
Jiang Chan also brought a tray in, with Xi Yu and Si Rui following behind him.
“Miss Jin must be thirsty. I’ll bring some tea.” Jiang Chan smiled, looking very cute and obedient, Lv Yun immediately received the teapot and thanked him profusely.
Just as they sat and drank two mouthfuls of tea, Xi Yu and Si Rui began to talk openly and secretly about the Tide Cloth.
“Miss Jin has just arrived, maybe she doesn’t understand us. All the girls in our Linlang Workshop have good character, and only those in wet clothes like to do superficial martial arts the most. They always like to fight with small methods against Xia Gu to make him happy. When Xia Gu favored her more, she would often disobey him. In the past, four out of the five disasters in the Linlang Workshop were caused by her. ”
Just as Xi Yu finished speaking, Si Rui followed up: “That’s right, everyone here has already seen her clearly. Young lady, you also have two eyes.”
Jin Xiaolou was unwilling to listen to all of this, but the three of them continued to chat about this and that in the house.
After exiting the room, Lv Yun closed the door tightly, and said: “What do you think about all these girls from Linlang Workshop?”
