Lv Yun squinted her eyes: ”Yes, these dozen or so ladies, I don't even remember their names clearly. The most eye-catching ones are Jiang Chan and Yue Shuang.”
She went on to say, ”She is good-looking and makes cakes. But she is always alone and does not seem to have a good relationship. Jiang Chan looked at how she is being loved, I always wanted to pinch her cheeks, she is also someone that is loved more, no matter where she goes in the past, she would always be in a group. However, I do not like the two girls that are closest to Jiang Chan. ”
”Why?”
Jin Xiaolou asked her.
Lv Yun scratched her head: ”Those two ladies, they just entered the door and they already used all their strength to speak ill of me. We naturally have eyes to see and heart to distinguish what kind of people others are, why would we want them to talk so much?”
”That's right.” Jin Xiaolou nodded her head, ”They are so anxious to speak ill of others, yet now they seem like villains.”
Jin Xiaolou laughed: ”I'm the same as you, I don't like them either.”
Lv Yun scoffed, ”Otherwise, how can we act like this? Similar people are always grouped together. ”
Just as she finished speaking, Lv Yun shook her head again: ”However, you can't say it like that, I think that Jiang Chan is a good person.”
”Not necessarily.” Jin Xiaolou spoke out, she then paused for a moment before arriving, ”It's been a long time since I last saw you, right? In short, all of us treat this lady within the Linlang Workshop as if she's our equal, don't alienate her, and don't get as close to her as you can.”
”Yes.” Lv Yun nodded.
”Oh right, have you seen Chang An?” Jin Xiaolou drank another mouthful of tea.
”Yes.” Lv Yun answered, ”Yesterday afternoon, I saw her at the Rainbow Garden entrance, but I didn't say anything, then Nan Yang came out, I didn't want to see her, so I left immediately.”
After she finished speaking, Lv Yun continued to grumble: ”Why are there so many people in this Chang An City that I hate?”
Jin Xiaolou laughed: ”Chang An City is too big, the more people there are in the city, the more people there are, so naturally there are all kinds of people.”
”Then did Chang An say when he would go to the Wuli River?”
Lv Yun nodded: ”Just these few days.”
On the morning of the second day, before the sky brightened, Jin Xiaolou went to the nearest smithy and got her master to fill up two cans with ingredients before returning to Linlang Workshop. After that, she bought all of the ingredients needed to make the Poria Cocos according to the method of asking the damp clothes she wore last night.
When Jin Xiaolou came in, she immediately took the thing in her hands. Putting the material aside, she held up the small metal box and asked, ”This is the thing that can let Poria Cocos be put in there for two to three months? Isn't this just an ordinary small iron box? ”
Jin Xiaolou nodded her head, ”It's exactly the small metal box. Let's make two, one of us will give it away, and the other will stay with us for three months to see if the Poria Cocos Pancake is good or bad.”
”That's a good idea!” ”I have to see it for myself before I dare to believe it.”
Listening to the directions given by the wet clothes, Jin Xiaolou scattered the glutinous rice flour, added eggs and honey, and formed a ball. After kneading the shape, she took in the crushed hawthorn, osmanthus and bean buns, and also picked up a piece of sweet peaches that was marinated in the wet clothes.
Jin Xiaolou had done a lot in a row. She was intelligent in the first place, and her skills were good, so she did the best she could.
What was prepared first, was brought out by Lv Yun for Xia Gu and the other girls to eat.
The last one out of the oven was put into a small iron box while it was still hot.
Jin Xiaolou acted as if she was making canned food, and then she covered the two iron boxes with the lid. She placed them on the stove to heat them up to disinfect and sterilize them, and then took advantage of the heat of the boxes to close the lids firmly.
After waiting for the two boxes of Poria Cocos to cool down, Jin Xiaolou took one box and placed it inside Linlang Workshop.
She passed through a long street by herself, and went to the western side of the capital, where the Rainbow Garden was located.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Chang An rode his horse and galloped over.
Just as Chang An dismounted, before the maids from the Rainbow Garden could welcome him, Jin Xiaolou had already walked up to them.
”Lady Xiaolou!” Chang An's eyes were filled with joy, ”It's really great to see you again before we leave the capital. Are you all right? How's the store going? ”
Jin Xiaolou nodded her head: ”Very good, the shop is about to open soon, you know mine, business will definitely be good, let him be at ease.”
”Yes.” Chang An replied, ”You came specifically to look for me? Is there anything I can say to Lord Seven? ”
