I deliver food in the Southern Song Dynasty

"Daddy, you said it yourself. You are not a money-grubbing person. Why, you sold your daughter easily after only one year's order?" Turning in circles in the court.

Father Bai blew his beard and stared: "If you want to change your mind, it's still too late. Anyway, these dozen pots of flowers haven't been delivered yet."

Bai Li hurriedly laughed and said: "It's a good sale, it's a good sale! The list of Ruyilou lasts for a whole year! Dad, you don't know, I showed off with Hesheng and Jinrun yesterday, saying that our family got it." Ruyi Building's list for a whole year, they are so envious that their eyeballs are spraying on the ground!"

Father Bai had a headache and said, "Didn't I tell you not to rush to publicize it outside! If this list is blown, how will your father and I meet people in Wushanfang in the future!"

"How could it be blown? Didn't Sister Qinwei already sign the contract?"

"I can't figure it out, they are willing to take our order just to let you, a poor girl, go to their place to run errands? It doesn't agree with reason, and it doesn't agree with emotion!"

Bai Li beautifully made a proud gesture: "Daddy, have you ever thought that it's because Mr. Ning likes me so much?"

"What do you like about you? Like your big feet? Like that you don't brush your teeth?"

When Bai Li drove the car to deliver a dozen or so pots of flowers to Ruyi Building, it was just before noon.

"It's so hot, how come it's not long since spring, and it's getting so hot today."

Qin Wei was already waiting for her at the side door.

"Miss Bai! Here! Oh, Miss Bai, you are sweating a lot, and they say it's not too late to send it at night. You see, the sun is so bright that you can't even open your eyes. Why bother to come?"

Bai Li smiled and said: "It's okay, the earlier you send it, the earlier you can feel at ease, and these new flowers have changed pots, so they still need to be taken care of."

Qin Wei dragged Bai Li into the building: "Let's talk about it after lunch."

"No, no need, Sister Qinwei, I came here after I had finished eating at home."

"But the master ordered the kitchen to make your portion. If you don't go, wouldn't it be a waste? Come on, the master is waiting for you, so I sent you to start the dinner."

Bai Li became even more nervous: "Shall we eat at the same table as Mr.?"

Qin Wei replied: "Sir, I never mind the distinction between master and servant. In the past, Lan Zhou and I dined with me. Today, we have you and Miss Jiang. It's more lively and better."

"Miss Jiang... Who is she? Is she also a maid who runs errands like me?"

Qin smiled and said: "Miss Jiang is the only tea student in front of Mr. now. If it wasn't because your father minded you being a tea girl, you would be the second tea student."

Under Qin Wei's guidance, Bai Li entered the Ruyi Building for the first time.But I can see the strange pines and cypresses in the building, the bright windows are clean, the sentiment is lofty, the chairs and tables are neat, and the gold lacquer is elegant and clean.No wonder it can become the teahouse most favored by literati and refined scholars in Lin'an City.

A small room with hanging curtains, no flowers and plants, only some strange stone basins and long scrolls of scriptures and history, is the place where Mr. Ning and the women eat.

"Sir, Miss Bai is here."

Mr. Ning waved his hand, motioning for Bai Li to sit on his right.

And the seat on Mr. Ning's left is the stunning woman that Bai Li saw on the willow tree that night.

"This is Miss Jiang, who just came from Fengle Building. This is Lan Zhou, the girl who has been with me for more than ten years. Both of them are older than you, so you can call them Sister Jiang and Sister Lanzhou. "

"Sister Jiang, Sister Lanzhou."

After Bai Qu finished his irregular salute, he sat back to his original place, glanced at Jiang Molan unconsciously from the corner of his eyes, and muttered in his heart: "It's even more gorgeous when you look at it up close! The quality is like frost, and the spirit is better than that of a wandering fairy. It should be A very difficult woman to approach..."

Mr. Ning suddenly smiled at Bai Li: "Miss Bai, because I don't know your taste, I asked the kitchen to cook a few more dishes. If Miss Bai is not satisfied, it's still too late to order a few more."

Bai Li hastily declined and said: "Mr. Ning, you are being polite, Bai Li doesn't pick anything. As long as it is Wu Yue's home cooking, Bai Li likes to eat it."

Stewed eggs with crab powder, Huadiao drunken chicken, braised catfish, Caotou circle, glutinous rice Laojia, sweet and sour short ribs, Sixi grilled bran...

"This……"

Although he had already eaten his lunch, Bai Quer couldn't help drooling when he saw the delicious food on the table.

"Sir, you actually ordered so many dishes, isn't this a bit too rich?" Lan Zhou said with a wry smile what Bai Li was thinking.

Mr. Ning said indifferently: "Isn't this to welcome the two new girls? Do we have to learn the old two dishes of porridge and side dishes? Miss Bai, Miss Jiang, you don't have to be polite, just pick whichever you want."

Bai Li agreed, but in front of so many beautiful sisters, he still showed timidity, and only dared to pinch the grass circle in front of his eyes.

Qin Wei, who was sitting on the right side of Bai Li, secretly added a few slices of drunken chicken to Bai Li's bowl after receiving Mr. Ning's gaze.

Because his stomach was full and he couldn't eat too much, and he thought it was rude to sit stupidly, so Bai Li found something to chat with Mr. Ning: "Sir, Bai Li wants to ask you a few questions. "

"Miss Bai, please tell me."

"Why do we call it Ruyi Building? Ruyi, isn't it something to tickle?"

According to Song Dynasty Wu Zeng's "Neng Gaizhai Manlu" said, if you wish, the ancient claws and sticks, or bone-horned bamboo wood cut into finger claws, the handle can be about three feet long, or the ridges are itchy, and you can't reach it with your hands. To scratch the claws, as a person wants.This kind of scratching tool is called "don't ask for help" in the south, and "old man music" in the north.

Mr. Ning said with a smile: "In the market, scratching claws are indeed called Ruyi, but Ruyi is not the only meaning. Ruyi is mostly jade Ruyi. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, literati and refined scholars have often used it as a beat player when singing poems and composing Fu. There is a poem saying : The wrist moves the sweet potato flower jade, and the shirt follows the wind. Our Ruyi building takes Ruyi, which is what it means."

"Oh, it turns out that Ruyi is such an elegant plaything. So, the main guests of our Ruyi Building are all literati?"

"Large restaurants like Xichun Building and Fengle Building mainly serve famous wines and concubines, and most of them attract rich merchants, officials and celebrities. Our Ruyi Building is much more elegant and does not cater for singers and dancers, so there are only some scholars. Like to come."

"I see."

Qin Wei added: "So, your father is so worried that we will learn from Ruyi Building if you come here, it is a big misunderstanding of us."

Bai Li said guiltily: "My father is a pedantic old guy, he doesn't understand anything, he just likes to talk to himself based on his own imagination. Our Ruyi building is so good, I must talk to him well when I go back, and tell him to go. These misunderstandings."

The gossip was exhausted, and the dishes were exhausted.

In fact, the white oak has a lot of food, but after all, it has been used up, so this meal only ate half a plate of grass head circles and a few slices of drunken chicken.Qin Wei and Lan Zhou didn't eat much, they put away their chopsticks after eating a few rice dumplings.Mr. Ning has a smaller appetite and hardly touches his chopsticks.

So this table was eaten up?

Three beams of eyes turned to Jiang Molan.

The culprit turned out to be her?

How can such a slim and pretty figure be able to eat so many dishes?

Could it be that she is the legendary one who can't get fat no matter how much she eats?

Jiang Molan didn't mind the scrutiny of Bai Li and the others, and was still picking up the few remaining pieces of fish head meat with chopsticks, as if she was far from full.

Although there was no movement on Mr. Ning's face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that in the future, every meal will have so many dishes..."
