Little wealth

fu mansion

On this day, Qiao Xu accepted Bai Luoxi's invitation and brought his son to Fu's residence as a guest.

"Young master, please, our master said that you want to bring the young master and lead you in directly." When the concierge of Fu's mansion saw them coming, he didn't even have to inform them, and led them in directly, far away. Then I saw the father and son in the gazebo.

As soon as Xiao Nuomi saw her little playmate coming, he was the first to run to pick him up before the adults could lead the way.

"Brother!" Zhao Xiaonian smiled brightly when he saw the little brother he liked. He was not as tall as him, so he put his heels and reached out to hug his little brother.

"Hey, just hold hands, don't hug, don't hug." Seeing that his son would move his hands when he saw someone else's little brother, Josh quickly stopped his son, but he didn't forget that he was a little brother Brother, it's different from their Pi Xiaozi.

Two two or three-year-old little dolls don't know what is the difference between brothers and boys, they walk together hand in hand, they are very affectionate, and one of them will come to whisper to the little brother from time to time, almost kissing his mouth The face of the little brother.

Bai Luoxi, who was standing in the gazebo, watched the two little babies approaching hand in hand, looked at Josh, and said with a smile: "You guys are here. You don't know, our little Nuomi has been thinking about you since getting up in the morning. Been reading it all morning."

"Hehe, I was wrong. We spent a little time baking this at home, so it came a little late." Josh put the basket in his hand on the table, opened the lid, and took out the cake inside. There was still a box inside. Bake cookies.

The molds for baking biscuits were made by their family Carpenter Zhao, who made puppy biscuits, kitten biscuits, and rooster and bear biscuits.When they were baking the cake, they pushed the biscuits in together. The biscuits baked faster, and it took a while for the cake to be baked, and they left the door after the cake was finished.

It took a while to get from the village to the town. Their family, Carpenter Zhao, sent them to the door in a donkey cart. The father and son entered the gate of Fu's house, and Carpenter Zhao drove the donkey cart back by himself.

"Hey, what is this? It looks quite interesting." Bai Luoxi looked at the things on the table and asked curiously.

This time, before he could answer, their son told everyone first, "Gao Gao!"

"Yes, this is a cake. I made it for him to remember his birthday a few days ago. This kid has eaten it, so I remember it well. And these are biscuits, which are all baked in an oven. If you don't Try it?" Josh wanted to cut the cake only to realize that he forgot to bring a knife, so he hurriedly asked Bai Luoxi if he had a knife.

Bai Luoxi asked his servants to come over with a small knife, "Why didn't you tell us about Nian Nian's birthday, so I can prepare a birthday present for him."

"Hey, no need, Nian Nian is still young, and it's not a birthday, I just cooked some dishes and cakes for him at home. Thinking of coming to you today, I will also make a cake for him Try the little glutinous rice and see if the little glutinous rice likes it." Josh took the knife, cut out a few small pieces of the cake, put them in a plate, and let each child eat with a small spoon .

Bai Luoxi also took a sip, hummed involuntarily, and said, "It's delicious, soft, and smells like peaches. What did you use to make it?"

"It's made with egg flour and peach juice. The top is peach meat. If you don't like it, you can take it away." Josh briefly talked about the general method, and he also pinched a piece of cake and tried it. , it tastes a little better than the first time they made it. The ratio of sugar and eggs in it is just right, and the taste is better.

"Brother, here, eat." Zhao Xiaonian was dishonest about eating the cake, took a bite by himself, and then dug out the cake with the little spoon he had eaten to feed it to his younger brother.

Xiao Nuomi pushed his younger brother's hand, pursed his lips, and said a little reservedly: "Eat it, I have it here too." As he spoke, he used his small spoon to dig the cakes in his bowl and ate them. Don't give it to him.

Seeing that the little brother didn't want it, Zhao Xiaonian didn't insist on giving his own to others.

"Hehe, you see their relationship is so good, I think it's better to order a doll for them to kiss." Seeing that the two children's relationship is so good, Bai Luoxi invited Josh to sit down, half jokingly said.

"If you are willing to send Xiao Nuomi to our family, I will be more than happy to help you raise the child. Our family is short of such a cute little brother." Josh knew that the other party meant it as a joke, and he didn't take it seriously. Yes, and responded in a joking tone.

The child's relationship is good now, but it does not mean that the child will be so good when he grows up.If their adults make a baby marriage for their children now, if the children grow up and have someone else they like, and force the two children to be together because of the engagement, it will ruin the happiness of the two children. Therefore, he would never dare to do such a thing as making a baby kiss for a child.

They have been to Fu's residence several times as guests. Although the layout inside looks simple, if you look carefully, you can still see that the things in this room are all valuable things, just a vase randomly placed in the room. , is something their family can't afford.

So sometimes even if Josh doesn't want to admit that there is still a big distance between their family and Fu's mansion, this kind of thing actually exists.If the two children still have fate in the future, and they both like each other when they grow up, he will naturally not stop it.

But as far as the present is concerned, there is still a big gap between their family and Bai Luoxi's family. This gap comes from the family status and class distance of this era. It is true that their family cannot be compared to the Fu family.He just hopes that in the future, their children will be able to fight for themselves, to earn a piece of glory and future that belongs to him, to be fearless on the road, to go after the person he likes, and to be with the person he likes, that is the best thing up.

Of course, the two of them were joking about making a baby kiss for a child, and they would not really make a baby marriage for two two or three-year-old babies.

This topic was brought up in the joke between the two.

Bai Luoxi picked up the cute biscuit and took a bite. It was crunchy and fragrant, and seemed to have a milky scent, and asked, "Did you put anything in this biscuit?"

"Yeah, put in milk and sugar, did you get a little milk flavor?" Josh also took a biscuit and ate it, rubbed it, it was crispy and fragrant.He ate several of them when they were baked, and if it wasn't for the fear of getting angry, he might have eaten several more.

"Oh, let me just say, it has a little bit of this taste." Bai Luoxi nodded, slowly tasting the delicious cakes and biscuits, and then took a sip of tea, eating it felt better than the pastries made by their cook Dim sum should be better.

Bai Luoxi knew that Josh liked to think about all kinds of food, but the cake and biscuit he brought today surprised him a bit. He is a businessman, and he smelled business opportunities from this small cake and biscuit, so he felt a little different in his heart. Turning around to ask Josh, "I don't know if you have thought about opening a shop in the town to sell these two things?"

"Do you want to open a pastry shop?" Josh thought for a while, but he really didn't think about opening a pastry shop at the moment, but he had the idea of ​​opening a shop in the town, but it's hard to say what to sell, "I haven't thought about it yet. Opening a pastry shop, I thought that if I want to be more relaxed later, I will rent a shop in the town to do some small business."

In fact, he also knew that it was not a long-term solution for them to set up a stall in the town. It was sunny and rainy, and the adults were fine. Even if the children followed them every day, he was reluctant to let the children suffer.If they can rent a shop in the town to do some small business, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and the children will not be exposed to the sun and rain with them.

It's just that they don't have much money now, and the house is still being built at home. He wants to wait until the house is built before planning the next step.

"If you are short of money, you can tell me, and I can lend you some." Bai Luoxi is a master who is not short of money, and said generously.

"No need, no need, we still have some money at home. It's just that the family has been busy recently, and we don't have too much time to do other things." Josh waved his hands busyly, thanking the other party for his kindness.

They had only known each other for a short time, even if he was really short of money, he would not ask Bai Luoxi to borrow it.Borrowing money and borrowing money can easily turn a friend into an enemy.In his previous life, he worked alone for his own education. When it was so difficult, he never thought of asking others to borrow money, not to mention that he is not struggling alone now, and there is still a family who supports and helps him, so there is no need to go to him. An outsider borrowed money.

Seeing Bai Luoxi asking him if he wanted to open a pastry shop, Josh thought he liked it, and hoped that they would open a shop so that he could buy cakes conveniently, so he said, "Why don't I write the recipe to you, if you want to eat cakes in the future, , you can ask the master in the house to do it for you."

"No, no, I was thinking that this cake tastes special. If you open a pastry shop, you might be able to make money from it." Bai Luoxi didn't hide it from Josh, and said, "I probably haven't told you that I'm a businessman. I was born in the family, and I was the only child in the family, and my father entrusted me to take care of all the family's properties, including the restaurant business."

"If you want, you can give me the recipe of this pastry, and I will give it to the chef of the restaurant to make it and sell it in the restaurant. The money earned at that time will share [-]% of your profit. I don't know what to do." ?”

"No, no, it's just a prescription. How can I ask for your share. If you want it, I'll write it to you right now. If you don't need any share, you can just use it." Josh hurriedly He waved his hand, thinking that he could not separate [-]% of the profits from others with just one recipe.

"Hehe, that's not acceptable. I feel that [-]% of the profit is less, and I can return [-]%." Seeing that Josh was willing to give him the prescription, of course Bai Luoxi didn't want to take advantage of his friend, so he still insisted on giving him [-]% of the profit. into the profit share.

As for why only [-]% is given, they are doing business, hiring shoppers requires money in all aspects, and purchasing also requires costs, and they also need to make money when they open their doors to do business.As long as the other party gave him the prescription, he didn't have to do anything, so giving [-]% of the profit was already his greatest sincerity.

After the two agreed, Bai Luoxi asked the servants to bring the pen and paper, and silently wrote out the prescription that Josh said, and wrote another contract, which clearly stated the share, and the two signed it. Words, stamped, one copy per person.

Considering that their family's property has branch offices throughout Daliang, and it takes ten days and a half a month to send the accounts from various places to him, Bai Luoxi and Josh settle the profit at half a year. once.

Josh naturally had no objection to this.

At this time, he didn't know Bai Luoxi's ability to make money. He didn't know how extensive the Bai family's property was until the money was delivered to him half a year later.

***

The two children next to them drank water after eating the cake and biscuits. Their stomachs were already [-] to [-] percent full. They didn't dare to let the children eat too much of these things, so the rest of the cake was put away. Not for the two children.

Xiao Nuomi watched helplessly as people took away his favorite cakes and biscuits, with a look of reluctance.

Seeing the child's reluctance to eat, Josh couldn't help laughing, coaxing the child and saying, "Uncle will make you something else delicious today, let's not eat cake, save your stomach for a while." Will eat something else."

Xiao Nuomi, who is one year older, is more sensible, and she doesn't cry or make trouble when adults don't give him food.It's just that when the adults told him to cook other delicious food for him, the little brother looked at his uncle with curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.

"Eat!"

On the contrary, this little brat in their family was not polite at all, he just grabbed his leg and wanted to eat it.

Josh almost didn't slap this bastard, and said to Bai Luoxi: "I'll borrow your kitchen and make them something to eat. I don't think they're full." After a regular meal, there are two fruit snacks in the middle. This is not polite when you come to other people's homes. If you are hungry, you will be eager for what he wants to eat.

"It's ok. But what you want to do, if you let the cook do it, it will save you a trip." They invited others to their house as guests, and now they let the guests go to the kitchen to cook for the children When eating, Bai Luoxi felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, just watch them, I'll be back when I go."

But Josh didn't think anything of it, let Bai Luoxi watch over the two children, and he followed the guide to the kitchen.

There are fish and pork in the kitchen. After thinking about it, he made stuffing with pork and fish, put minced garlic and ginger in it to remove the fishy smell, and then added a little salt and sugar to taste.Roll out the thin dough with a rolling pin, and wrap wontons with the filling.

In addition to fish wontons, two bowls of egg custard were steamed.

It happened that there was already stewed chicken soup in the kitchen of Fu’s family. He used this chicken soup as the soup base, and put the wontons in as soon as the soup boiled.Take out the cooked wontons, add a spoonful of chicken broth, sprinkle a handful of shallots on top, and bowls of wontons are complete.

Bai Luoxi watched the two children play in the gazebo for a while, and then saw Josh coming back with two maids. The two maids were holding a tray with two bowls of egg custard and four bowls of wonton. There are two green vegetables.

The two maids put the tray on the table, brought out the things, and placed them on the table one by one.

"This is what you did just now. It looks really good." When Bai Luoxi saw Josh bring someone back, he saw the bowls of food placed on the table. The color looked very light, but the smell was It was so delicious that even he wanted to eat it.

"Yes~" Zhao Xiaonian grabbed the table and wanted to eat.

Little Nuomi, who was a year older, looked at the food on the table. Although she didn't ask for it, she still wanted to eat it from the look on her face.

"I think it's better to let them sit up and eat it first. It's still a little hot when it's just cooked. Luoxi, you can try it and see if you like it. The weather is hot. I think everyone ate the cake just now, so I made it lighter. , I hope it still suits your appetite." Josh carried the two children to the stool and sat down, first gave each of them a bowl of egg custard, and then dug and ate them with a spoon.

The egg custard is soft and smooth, just like tofu flower, but it is slightly more nutritious than tofu flower, which is most suitable for children.

Zhao Xiaonian is very proficient in digging with a spoon to eat. He also knows that the food is hot and needs to be blown on before eating. It's not worth eating by himself, so he turned to teach his little brother, "Brother, blow on it, eat."

Xiao Nuomi is not very proficient in holding a spoon. He has grown up so much that he eats only a handful of times. Not only did he eat cake by himself today, but now he also eats egg custard with a spoon.Following his younger brother's example, he dug a small spoonful of egg custard, blew on it before eating it.

"It's the first time I've seen our little glutinous rice eat so deliciously. You don't know how difficult it is to get him to eat more on weekdays." Bai Luoxi saw their little brother sitting obediently When eating, he digs the egg custard with a spoon and eats it. One mouthful of custard is delicious, and he is completely different from the little brother who is chased by several people and refuses to eat.

The two children sat there, chomping on the food, and the adults looked as if they were eating by themselves.

"Children, if you have a temporary appetite, you can ask someone to cook more soft and delicious food for him. Don't let him eat too much in one meal, and his appetite will gradually improve." Josh has never experienced it before. The annoyance of the child not eating, their son does not know how active he is in eating every day, and he is given a meal slowly and even pats him on the table.

But looking at other people's gentle little brother, he was really moved. How about waiting for his son to grow up, and he would have another little brother with Zhao Mutou?When this thought flashed through his mind, Josh was shocked by his own thought.

"I think they all like it very much. You still have a way. This wonton smells really delicious. You should eat it too. Don't let it cool down for a while." Bai Luoxi looked at the bowl of wonton with a few shallots floating in front of him, and felt a puff. The aroma rushed into his nose, he couldn't help but picked up the spoon, and scooped a wonton into his mouth.

One bite into it, the skin is thin and the stuffing is rich, and the stuffing inside is not like a complete pork. It seems that there is something else added, which is a little tender, so he asked: "Is there any pork in the stuffing of your wonton? what?"

"Haha, yes, I added a little fish to the pork, did you eat it?" Josh also sat down, scooped up a wonton and tasted it. Seeing their little boy looking at him, he scooped up a Wontons are fed to children.

But he forgot to blow it just now. The child took a bite and let go of the heat, his lips were red and tears were in his eyes. He glanced at him and grabbed his hand to eat again. Being smart, he opened his mouth and bit into it after he blew on it himself.

"Is it delicious?" Josh asked.

"Okay!" Zhao Xiaonian didn't want to eat his own egg custard after taking a bite of wonton, but wanted to eat someone else's wonton.

Josh didn't give it, and asked, "Do you want to eat wontons? You haven't finished your egg custard yet? Why don't you eat this after eating the egg custard?"

Zhao Xiaonian looked at the leftover egg custard in his bowl, and at the wontons on the table. After weighing the two, he continued to dig his egg custard with a spoon to eat.

Little Nuomi over there followed suit, looking at his little daddy eagerly.

"You want to eat too, don't you?" Bai Luoxi was eating wontons, and seeing his little brother staring at him eagerly, he had no choice but to use the spoon he had eaten, and scooped up a small wonton for his little brother, too. .

It was the first time for the father and son to share the same spoon and eat the same bowl of food like this, but seeing the child happy, there seemed to be something unspeakable in his heart, and his heart was a little swollen and warm.

Watching the child eat deliciously made him happier than eating three bowls of rice himself.
