The two young ladies exclaimed: "Do you know the layman Zhemei? I heard that before she practiced Taoism, she was a famous prostitute in Lihua Town, and her stage name was Shaoyao."

Mao Xi, who was making snacks, felt nervous when she heard Shaoyao's name.

This sister Shaoyao is really impulsive, but she is also really admirable.

In the coffee room in the inner room, the carpenters have renovated it according to Mao Xi's requirements.

These two young ladies came here specially from Kaitang County to buy snacks, so Mao Xi invited them to the coffee room to experience it, where Luda ground beans and brewed coffee on site.

"Ladies, our coffee room is newly opened today. I would like to invite you to review it. I also have new fruits here, which I will deliver later."

Last time, Mu Zhiyuan brought back a popular fruit in the northern capital called "Vegetarian Sober Ice". It was very similar to jelly, crystal clear, with red plum blossoms inside, and very girlish.

She asked Luda to make three cake molds out of wooden boards, which were plum blossom-shaped, peach-heart-shaped, and round.

To make this vegetarian sobering ice, you need to pick fresh plum blossoms, soak the Qiongzhi vegetables in rice water and wash them, add water to a pot to boil out the gelatin, pour it into a flower-shaped mold, then add fresh plum blossoms, wait until it cools and condenses into jelly, then pour it on Just some orange juice or ginger juice.

Mao Xi served two plum blossom-shaped jelly to the two young ladies. They were attracted by the appearance of the fruit.

Take a bite with a small spoon and taste it, it's cool and refreshing.

The windows of the private coffee room are specially designed so that people passing by can see the diners in the private room.

A man and woman passed by. When the woman saw the plum blossom-shaped pink jelly, she pulled the man into the store and ordered the fruit and tea.

Young ladies like the shape of this fruit, but for dolls, the texture of this fruit is glutinous and chewy, so it should not be too delicious to bite.

Mao Xi put the jelly made for Ajiao into a small bowl and added some orange pulp. After Ajiao finished eating, he said very sensibly that he would leave a bowl for his brother.

Although the coffee room is a bit small and not as exquisite as the tea house, in the private room, Mao Xi puts many bags of coffee beans in his pockets, with eye-catching words about this fragrant snack on the bags.

Seeing that the two young ladies had finished eating the jelly, Mao Xi began to step forward to sell her coffee beans.

"Ladies, the coffee you just drank was made from these beans. You can take it home and brew it at any time."

A woman expressed her embarrassment because she did not have the tools to grind beans.

"As long as you have a stone mortar at home, you can grind the coffee grounds and use gauze to filter the coffee grounds. Next time you come back, our store will provide a complete set of grinders and filter cloths." Mao Xi suggested, but she had not considered the brewing tools in advance. question.

They each bought a small bag, 20 cents each for half a catty.

Luda said happily: "Ah Shu, these are the first coffee beans sold by our store!"

Mao Xi made a calculation in her mind. She asked Li Chuanguan to buy green coffee beans for 10 cents per pound, while buying roasted coffee beans in the virtual mall cost 56 cents per pound.

Calculating this, roasting your own beans is the most cost-effective option.

Linglong Mountain, Kaitang County, Yuqing Temple.

Under the cypress tree, the layman Zhemei was making tea by the stove in the mountains.

Shu Xi and Lou Lan'er carried a food box and went up the mountain to visit.

Before arriving at Yuqing Temple, I saw Zhemei under a tree on the mountainside, drinking tea and eating dates alone.

Zhemei was a little surprised to see Mao Xi and Lou Lan'er, so she asked them to sit around the fire together.

"Miss Miao Xi, Miss Lan'er, I haven't seen you for a while! How could you think of coming here to find me today?"

Lou Lan'er: "We heard from Peony. Are you used to living here? I'm afraid you won't be used to eating, so Ah Shu brought you a lot of shortbread, fruits and peanuts."

Mao Xi opened the food box, put the peanuts on the stove to roast, and took out some egg yolk cakes and sober-up ice.

"Sister Zhemei, I brought your favorite egg yolk cake."

Zhemei's eyes were a little calmer than when she was the top peony.

The three of them sat around the fire to keep warm and chatted happily. A handsome young man also came to visit Zhemei under the cypress tree.

"Sima Yuan, a young boy, heard that layman Zhemei is good at poetry and came here to ask for advice."

Zhemei ate plum blossom jelly and ignored Sima Yuan.

"Liu Shen is my friend. He was going to go with me today because something happened in the future." Sima Yuan said.

Liu Shen was a frequent customer of Shaoyao, and he liked to talk about poetry and poetry with her. When he learned that she wanted to redeem herself, he gave her money to help.

Seeing that there were guests at Zhe Mei, Shui Xi and Lou Lan'er went down the mountain first.

Along the way, Mao Xi blamed herself: "Sister Lan'er, if I hadn't taught Peony how to redeem herself, she wouldn't have become a Taoist nun, and she would have to spend her whole life practicing hard in this mountain at the age of seventeen."

Lou Lan'er consoled her, "Don't blame yourself. Although life here is hard, it is more comfortable than that place with fireworks. Moreover, things in the world are unpredictable. Maybe she has been practicing for a period of time, figured it out and returned to secular life."

"If you think about it this way, I'll feel relieved."

The two of them immediately went down the mountain and stopped by the East and West Stages in Kaitang County to distribute some paper flyers advertising Liuxiang Snacks' new fruits.

Sitting around the fireside under the alder tree, Zhimei poured Sima Yuan a cup of tea and said, "Since we want to discuss poetry, why not use a plum blossom as a word card and you compose a poem."

Sima Yuan was full of talent and used poetry to express his thoughts. After listening to Zhe Mei, he only changed the rhyme and rhyme of his poem and changed a few words, and the artistic conception of the entire poem was improved.

Sima Yuan clapped his hands and applauded, and the two chatted happily. After that, he often came to the mountain to talk with Zhe Mei, chanting poems.

Sima Yuan can also tell from the poem about breaking plum blossoms that she has not yet settled her worldly thoughts and is working more diligently up the mountain.

Little did Zhemei know that she would have to renew her mortal relationship with Sima Yuan in the future.

The garden that Mao Xi stayed in Liujia Village was still being repaired, and he planned to build a slope next to his house to make it easier to get in and out.

The windows in the backyard also need to be modified to allow better lighting in the house.

But as soon as the house started to be repaired, the old woman Zou next door began to make a fuss.

She said that the house built by Mao Xi's family was blocking her door.

Every day, as soon as the masters started working, she would start cursing without stopping.

Neighbors from all directions tried to persuade me to no avail.

Mao Xi and Chen took turns going home to supervise the work, and ignored the old woman's curses.

Because as long as you reply, she will scold you even more fiercely, like an old hen that keeps croaking.

Brother Chunsheng and Aunt Shen came to try to persuade her several times, but the old woman scolded them all.

Aunt Shen said that she had seen this kind of situation too many times, and asked Chen and Shu Xi to endure it any longer and keep an eye on their progress to avoid being ruined.

In the past, whenever someone built a new house or renovated a house in the village, there would be jealous people who would come out to find trouble and cause damage.

Mao Xi only hoped that the renovation could be completed successfully before the Chinese New Year.
