Shopkeeper Xiao insisted on letting me have a taste of the culinary skills of the chefs in the shop, but instead he sent me a table full of all kinds of refreshments. Looking at this table of snacks, I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could this kind of wishful thinking be made by someone like Shopkeeper Xiao, who was used to travelling the world.

Looking at the long table, flat, round, square, sweet, salty, brittle, sticky, I can't help but sigh. It's a pity not to eat such a table of snacks, but where is there anyone who only eats snacks for lunch?

I took a piece of each piece, but after eating five or six pieces, I couldn't eat anymore. I pointed to a few pieces that were soft and sweet, and said to Song: "Tell the chef to make a package for all of these items." Mother Song smiled. Grandmother is old, indigestion, like to eat some soft pastries, but she also likes to eat sweet food, I chose a few of my grandmother's favorite.

Looking at the pastries on the table again, I pointed to the golden cake beside me and said, "Put this plate on." Mother Song looked at the plate of bright red pastries and said, "The old lady doesn't like to eat hawthorn cakes?" I smiled and looked at Mother Song, "This is for Aunt Chen, she likes to eat sour food recently." Mother Song also laughed, "You are so attentive. "Don't you want to redo this plate?" I shook my head. "Make another plate of cinnamon cake." The osmanthus cake was my mother's favorite pastry. Mother Song obviously knew who the osmanthus cake was for, so she smiled and agreed.

"Take the rest of the bags back to the girl. You can divide the rest." I pointed to the pastries on the table, which were wrapped in a piece of oilskin paper. The rest of the people who came along didn't have more than one or two pieces, and a whole table of pastries was gone as well. I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Mother Song came out with a large red lacquered food box. When she saw Lu Ping holding a paper bag in her hand, she asked, "What is that in your hand?"

"It's a snack our Young Miss brought for the Gongzi girl."

When Mother Song heard this, she couldn't help but laugh, "You have to say that the old woman's fate is good. My family is a bunch of stinking brats!"

"I don't know if Mommy has a child at home, how about Mommy take it first?" I walked over and took the pastry from her hand and handed it to her.

Mother Song waved her hands, her expression enjoying itself, "My grandson is already 12 years old this year, and is following his father and mother around the manor." I handed the pastries over to Lu Ping. "I will be recruiting new apprentices soon. Mom will be the one to show my grandson to Grandmother. I'll tell her about the rest." Mother Song was busy thanking him. Although the manor was quiet, there was nothing to be gained from it. It was only natural for Mother Song to mention her grandson to give her child a future.

When I got home, it was already afternoon. Lu Ping helped me change my clothes and asked if I wanted to set up a meal. I pushed her and said, "No need. Quickly go and eat something." After following me around in a circle, Lu Ping still hadn't eaten anything. Just now, we shared the pastries and after we distributed them to the maidservants, there was nothing left. Lu Ping followed me back hungry.

"Your servant is not hungry." Before Lu Ping could finish her sentence, her stomach began to growl, causing her to immediately blush.

"Hurry up and go." I waved at her and took off my shoes and climbed on the kang.

"Then I'll go." I've already smoked a book and started reading it.

Feeling something on my body, I opened my eyes. The blanket was in her hands and she was covering me. I threw the book I was reading on the brick bed next to me. I was obviously reading a book, but somehow I fell asleep.

"What time is it?" I got up and looked out into the room. In a moment I saw a brazier on the floor.

"Why is this happening at such a time?" I rubbed my eyes. It was time.

"I saw you were asleep and was afraid that I would wake you up, so I lit a brazier." Lu Ping smiled and put out the brazier. In the spring, it was easy to light the brazier.

"Oh …" I stretched my body. When Lu Ping saw my appearance, she covered her mouth and smiled.

After changing my clothes, I stayed behind with Lu Ping and carried the food box to my grandmother's room. On the way, I suddenly thought of bringing a bag of snacks to the girl. "You find someone to give that bag to Gong Er's wife."

"Don't worry Miss, I'll send you off early." Recently, Lu Ping's actions have become more detailed. I nod my head in satisfaction.

The little girl in my grandmother's room bowed to me, and I nodded and went in.

Grandmother sat on the kang in the room, and Father sat across from her, listening to her talk about home. Her mother sat on a stool in front of the kang, and Aunt Chen was only half sitting on the embroidery block behind her. When she saw me come in, Lady Chen quickly stood up. I nodded at her and sat on a stool at the side. Lady Chen then sat back down.

Grandmother spotted the big food box I was carrying. "What did you bring us on a trip?" There was a doting smile on his face as he doted on his juniors. When I opened the lid of the box, it was still steaming. I wrapped a handkerchief around my hand and brought out four plates of pastries.

"Grandmother, please try it. I brought it back from the shop." I took out a pair of silver chopsticks from my food box. I guessed that this wasn't brought back from the shop, but rather something that Lu Ping had thought of putting in ahead of time.

Grandmother took the chopsticks and took a bite out of each piece. "I'm getting old," she said. "It's like I can't taste anything. It's not sweet at all."

When his father heard this, he took the pastry and tasted it. "It tastes pretty good." Mother Du brewed some tea and passed it to her grandmother and father, smiling as she said to her father, "Master, you really can't hear this, the old lady thinks that the dessert isn't sweet enough!" Father frowned. "That's too sweet! Mother, Doctor Huang told you not to eat too much sweet food! "

"I know, I know!" Grandmother nodded like a child trying to please their parents. Everyone was amused by Grandmother.

"Mother, this is a osmanthus cake for you." I took the paper box and Mother Feng, who was by my mother's side, accepted it. She still had a vulgar smile on her face. I didn't want to look at her any longer, so I quickly turned my face away.

"Aunt, I heard you like to eat sour food recently, I brought you this." I took the pastries wrapped in oiled paper from Lu Ping. Aunt Chen quickly stood up and received them with both hands. She smiled as she expressed her thanks. "Many thanks, Miss. I don't know why, but I love to eat weird things these days." A rosy glow rose from Aunt Chen's face, her eyes sparkling and translucent. She seemed very gentle. Grandmother smiled and said, "I think when I'm pregnant with my eldest brother, I like to eat weird things." Mother Du added, "That's right! In the middle of the night, you drove the Old Master out of bed and said that you wanted to eat the primal chaos. At night, you cooked the primal chaos in the kitchen. Who would have thought that you would be born without even eating a mouthful? " His father was also laughing by his side. Only his mother was staring at Aunt Chen's belly with a strange expression, as if she wanted to see through whether or not she was pregnant with a man or a woman.
