The Favorite of the Court of Joy

Chapter 76 Afternoon Tea

In the afternoon, when the sun was not so dazzling, Zhang Xiaoqian and others made tea and chatted in the courtyard of the doctor, and invited the doctor to drink tea together.The government doctor happened to have nothing urgent at hand, so he drank tea with them.This tea is a first-class good tea, Biluochun.On the table, apart from the palace pastries brought by Zhang Xiaoqian himself, Butler Wu also prepared other delicious pastries.Anyway, Zhao Minghan explained that Housekeeper Wu must try his best to give whatever he wants, and besides, cakes and tea are not unreasonable demands, why should he, Zhang Xiaoqian, be polite to that bullshit prince, it would be best to make him go bankrupt.

When the cakes were delivered, Zhang Xiaoqian asked Butler Wu to drink tea with him, but Butler Wu still had an expressionless face, and left after saying a few polite words.

Zhang Xiaoqian greeted everyone: "You're welcome. Eat quickly. These palace pastries are bought to eat together."

Xiao Zi couldn't help but took one and ate it first, full of praise: "It's delicious."

The others let go of their restraints, took one and put it in their mouths one after another. They were very happy, satisfied and delicious. It really deserves to be a tall pastry.This kind of thing can buy twenty steamed buns for one cake, even during Chinese New Year, they are reluctant to buy one to eat.

Zhang Xiaoqian said to Xiao Huang: "Xiao Huang, can you taste the method of making this cake?"

Xiao Huang replied: "I can eat its ingredients, but I can't be sure when it was made. It may take several attempts to get such a delicious taste."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. You should study the recipe of the palace cake carefully. If it is done, why do you need to spend money to buy it? Xiao Huang, you will be responsible for making it for everyone to eat."

"Okay, servant girl must study it carefully."

"Then we will have a good time." The maids all smiled happily.

Zhang Xiaoqian, nine servant girls and a government doctor, formed a circle of eleven people, drinking tea and eating cakes, everyone recalled the past, recalled their hometown, and talked about the customs of their hometown.When they talked, they found that the customs and names of their hometown were similar, but Zhang Xiaoqian's hometown words were full of freshness.

Xiaolan said: "Do you know what BBQ is? Do you know what asking for death is? Xiaoqing, you guys are not allowed to say it, let them guess."

Zhang Xiaoqian smiled awkwardly, why did Xiaolan still remember this, he now regrets saying the English words for barbecue and toast.

However, Xiaocheng and others, as well as the government doctor, are seriously thinking about what Xiaolan said.

The government doctor asked seriously: "Young Master Qian, may I ask what are the words for BBQ and begging for death? I think the original meaning of these two words can only be guessed based on the font."

"Well..." Zhang Xiaoqian smiled slightly, shook his head after thinking for a while and said, "This is the spoken language of my hometown, and there is no specific word to express it."

"Hahaha, I know you guys can't figure it out, so let me tell you." Xiaoqing saw that they were trying to break their heads before going out, just like they were incomprehensible at the beginning, she said: "BBQ means barbecue, begging to die It means cheers."

Xiao Cheng and the others said "Ah", just like Columbia discovering the New World.

The government doctor stroked his beard, recollecting the corresponding meanings of the two, and said, "To beg for death means toast. This man drank until he was drunk. People often say that he is drunk, so he just begs for death. It's interesting and interesting."

Zhang Xiaoqian looked at the government doctor's serious analysis of the Chinese homonym of "cheers", which made him dumbfounded, but he didn't want to explain it any further, because if he explained it further, it would involve more things.

"Young master, please talk about other dialects of your hometown. Xiao Zi thinks your dialect is very interesting. Can you say something else?"

"Yes, yes, I want to hear it too."

"Me too."

"Me too."

…………

One by one looked at Zhang Xiaoqian with expectant eyes, Zhang Xiaoqian had a smile on his face, but actually wanted to cry, why his mouth was so twitched back then, so he had to change the subject quickly.

Zhang Xiaoqian asked: "Do you think it's a wooden stick or an iron stick?" Hehe, you must have never played brain teasers before.

Xiaoqing immediately replied: "Of course it is an iron rod. The iron rod is much harder than the wooden rod."

All the maids and the government doctors nodded in agreement with this answer.

"wrong!"

Everyone was surprised, and then heard Zhang Xiaoqian say: "Of course it's the head that hurts the most."

Everyone froze for a moment, then suddenly realized and laughed.

"It really hurts my head the most, why didn't I think of it."

"Come again, son, tell me quickly."

Zhang Xiaoqian continued, "Is it the red crab that runs faster or the crab?"

Everyone fell into deep thought again.Xiao Huang said, "Then I support Red Crab."

"Then I will support the blue crab, which is the same color as my name."

"I support red crab"

"I support blue crabs"

Zhang Xiaoqian secretly laughed, one question, divided into two teams, they are really serious.The doctor who was thinking more seriously than them was Mr. Fu, who thought the problem was not that simple.

"Then I'll announce the answer."

"Don't, let me think about it for a while."

"Okay." Then Zhang Xiaoqian said to the servant girls: "You also want to change the answer."

Just when the doctor was about to say what he thought the answer was with a full smile, there was an impatient voice outside the door: "Doctor, come and take a look, our Young Master Yu is almost out of breath."
