Chapter forty-eight return gift
"Miss, Miss, I was sweeping the snow today, and I met the gentleman opposite me. He was so nice, and he even helped me sweep the snow."
"Nonsense, if you are a young master, how can you sweep the snow by yourself?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I heard someone calling him master in the yard."
"Really? Since it's the owner's house, why would he come out to clear the snow himself?"
"I don't know either. But I really want to hear him say that you have to sweep the snow in front of your house yourself."
"Sweep the snow in front of your house by yourself? Is this young man a scholar?"
"I don't know. I just said a few words to him. He cleared the roads around our house. When the lady goes out later, she won't have to step on the snow."
"Then you have to thank them properly. You can pick up some snacks later and send them over. We have just moved here, so let's treat them as a meeting gift."
"Okay. I'll go right away."
"Let's go after dinner."
"No, I'm not hungry." The little girl said, jumping up and down to get some snacks.
And just when he was going out, he happened to meet the old man.
As a result, the little girl ran back after taking only a few steps.
"Miss, miss. Look, this is a gift from the gentleman opposite." The little girl said as she ran in with a box. By accident, she almost fell to the ground.
It turned out that as soon as the little girl went out, she saw the old man who was about to knock on the door. She directly took the things the old man gave her.
"Wu'er, how many times have I told you, don't be so flustered."
"Yes, miss. Come and see what good things are inside?" The girl named Wu'er put the box in the miss's hand and urged the miss to open the box.
The young lady was pushed and had no choice but to open the box. Inside was a box of strange snacks.
"Yeah...it's a snack. But it's so strange, why haven't I seen this kind of snack?"
The young lady also found it a bit strange. It was normal for the new neighbors to send some snacks to each other. But she had never seen these snacks sent from the opposite side.
They were some gray-yellow, round biscuits with various small animal patterns printed on them. The other kind was like small golden bowls. The surface of the bowl was covered with a golden and slightly burnt texture.
Wrapped in egg skin. There seems to be another world inside, but you can't see it.
"Miss, let me try for you first to see if it tastes good." Wu'er said, reaching out and picking up a round biscuit. It was a piece of walnut cake. It was made by Lu Xuan after he failed countless times.
Barely considered one of the successful cookies.
"Hmm...it's delicious, miss. This biscuit is sweet, crispy, and has a walnut flavor. It's really delicious. I've never eaten this kind of snack."
"Really?" The young lady also picked up a piece of walnut cake, put it in her mouth and took a bite.
A unique and sweet taste filled his mouth. It was completely different from the snacks he had eaten before. Although Wu'er, a child, said that everything she ate was delicious. But this time, she was indeed right. She had never eaten it before
I've never had a snack like this.
After eating a piece of walnut cake, she looked at the small round bowl again. At this time, Wu'er had already filled her mouth with it. She kept trying to say: "It's so good..."
..what a good seven…”
It has a unique texture that combines softness and crunchiness. It is completely different from the previous walnut cakes. This kind of snack has a crispy outer layer, but an extremely soft, waxy and delicate texture inside. It can be eaten.
There is not a single milky aroma, but also honey mixed with an unknown aroma.
The previous walnut cakes could only be regarded as novelties. But this golden snack is truly shocking. The Tang Dynasty egg tarts made by Lu Xuan use honey instead of white sugar, making the aroma more intense and attractive.
He showed unparalleled lethality right out of the gate.
"Hmm..." The young lady couldn't help but moaned. Wu'er looked at him with a strange face. Did I hear it wrong? Or was the sound just now actually made by me?
Wu'er ate a few, and used her whole life's willpower not to eat anymore. After all, it was given to the young lady.
"Miss, I don't want to eat anymore. I'm going to give the young master a gift."
"Come back," the lady said quickly. The ones on the other side were also gifted with snacks. But in comparison, the snacks she had were really hard to come by.
"Don't go there yet."
The lady stopped Wu'er's impulse. She originally wanted Wu'er to exchange it for a gift. But she had just moved here and everything had not been printed yet, so she couldn't come up with any suitable gift. She wanted to give Wu'er a pair of embroidery that she had made by herself.
But how could this property be given to a stranger she had never met? She thought about it and finally thought of a way.
That night.
"My boss, I gave a gift to the other side this morning. Logically speaking, it should be a gift in return. The yard opposite is not small. If you can afford it, you must have plenty of money. How can you be such a picky person? How can you be such a picky person?
It’s no longer open.”
"As long as we get what you want. How can we give gifts and wait for others to return gifts? Besides, according to what you said, there may be only one maid or a young lady across the street. When people see you, they probably won't dare to come to our house casually.
"Lu Xuan said casually while lowering his head and wiping his knife.
"Master, what do you mean by this? My old man, when I was young, I was also very handsome. Now that I am old, I can still say that my charm is still there..."
"The charm is still there to describe a woman." Lu Xuan interrupted the old man's nonsense angrily.
"Ahem...that's all, just know what I mean."
Just as the two were chatting, a pipa sound suddenly came from outside the door.
Lu Xuan paused slightly while wiping the long knife. He turned his head and looked towards the door.
The sound of music came from the opposite side. Then, an ethereal, crisp, and melodious song sounded.
The day is so short, and a hundred years of suffering are so full.
...
When the song sounded, Lu Xuan walked into the yard alone. Several servants also heard the singing, but they were kicked back by the old man. Lu Xuan was the only one in the whole yard. Just like the short song, it was for
He sings alone.
The sky is vast, and the eons are endless.
Magu lowered her temples, half of which had turned into frost.
When God saw the beautiful girl, he laughed a thousand times.
I want to capture the six dragons and hang the fusang on my carriage.
Beidou drinks fine wine, and persuades the dragons to drink wine.
Wealth and honor are undesirable, and make people look good.
The song stopped, and both courtyards fell into a tacit calm. Through the two doors, Lu Xuan could still feel that the singer was still there, as if he was waiting for something.
"The pearls are round and round, the lingering sound lingers...good music, good songs..." Lu Xuan applauded and praised loudly.
After a few breaths, a soft echo came from the other side.
