"It's better to eat the cake today, otherwise it will go bad tomorrow."
The weather is still very hot now, so we can't leave it for a long time.
"Okay, I understand." Pei Lingxuan smiled and had an idea in her mind.
"It's just a pastry, what's so weird about it?" Qu Youmeng muttered to the side.
Pei Lingxuan heard her words with sharp ears and asked directly: "Have you seen cakes? My father's caravan traveled all over the country and brought me a lot of food, drink and fun from various places since I was a child, but I have never seen cakes."
Pei Lingxuan's family is engaged in silk tea and other businesses, and has several caravans at home.
Qu Youmeng pursed her lips, something she had never seen before.
But after all, it’s just food.
"It would be too stingy to only give one piece of food." Qu Youmeng continued unconvinced.
"Isn't there another box?" The girl sitting next to her pointed at the box in Xiao Cui's hand.
Pei Lingxuan glanced at Shen Zhiyao, and opened the box at the sign of Shen Zhiyao's eyes.
A flawless white jade hairpin with exquisite workmanship pops into view.
Anyone can see that it takes at least dozens of taels to get this hairpin.
Everyone was suddenly speechless.
After Shen Zhiyao and the others played in the pavilion for a while, the banquet started, and the servants came to invite them to the table.
Pei Lingxuan didn't invite many people to her birthday this time. Apart from their own relatives, there were only a few businessmen with whom they had the most frequent business dealings.
During the dinner, Pei Lingxuan asked someone to take out the cake.
"This is called cake. It's unique in Daqi Dynasty. It can only be eaten on birthdays."
Pei Lingxuan praised the cake without any knowledge.
Then someone cut the cake into small pieces and gave each of the female guests at the banquet a piece.
As soon as the sweet and soft cake entered her mouth, Pei Lingxuan regretted sharing so much.
The small piece in my hand is not enough to eat! !
"Zhiyao, what is this flower made of? It tastes particularly creamy, mellow and fragrant." After Pei Lingxuan took a bite of the "rose flower", her taste buds were instantly conquered.
Shen Zhiyao said: "Cream."
"Cream? Is it made from goat's milk? It's amazing how you put oil in the milk and it becomes something so delicious."
Pei Lingxuan ate the rest of the cake in one bite.
She didn't really want to get an answer from Shen Zhiyao, so she continued to eat other delicacies without waiting for Shen Zhiyao to answer.
After the banquet was over, Shen Zhiyao was about to say goodbye and go back to make the food that Mu Shi needed to sell.
Pei Lingxuan pulled Shen Zhiyao and asked Shen Zhiyao to go to her yard, saying that she wanted to show her a novel bonsai.
Accompanying them were several of Pei Lingxuan's little sisters.
"Xiao Cui, move out my few bonsais."
As soon as she entered the yard, Pei Lingxuan hurriedly asked Xiaocui to take out her things.
After a while, several green pots with some green and red fruits hanging on them appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing these bonsai, Shen Zhiyao opened her eyes wide.
Isn’t this a tomato?
"Hey, it looks good. My father's caravan brought this back from Fanbang. It's red and green. It looks very festive."
Pei Lingxuan introduced it to everyone with great interest.
"nice."
"What is this? I've never seen it before?"
"Red and green always go well together. This kind of bonsai is a pleasure to see."
Pei Lingxuan's little sisters all echoed.
Pei Lingxuan: "I don't know what it is. The people in the caravan just thought it looked good and brought it back to me."
"Lingxuan." Shen Zhiyao stepped forward, looked at the pots of tomatoes with burning eyes, and discussed with Pei Lingxuan: "Can you sell me a pot of this bonsai?"
A lot of tomatoes have been planted and picked in her space.
If you get tomatoes from Lingxuan, you don't have to think of another way to take out the tomatoes in her space and eat them.
"You can just take whatever is for sale or not." Pei Lingxuan did not hesitate and asked Xiaocui to pack two pots for Shen Zhiyao.
"If you like bonsai, I still have some orchids and chrysanthemums here. Let me get some for you."
"No need." Shen Zhiyao shook his head and said, "I just thought the fruit was edible and wanted to take it back and plant more to try."
"Eat? Hey, why didn't I think of that!" Pei Lingxuan suddenly looked forward to it and pointed at the remaining pots of tomatoes: "The red ones should be ripe. I'll pick these red fruits and try them first."
Qu Youmeng on the side stopped her eagerness to try and said: "Lingxuan, if she says you can eat it, just eat it. You are not afraid of poison."
After saying this, Qu Youmeng looked at Shen Zhiyao and snorted coldly: "As expected of a food seller, eating is all that is in my mind. It's vulgar."
"Food is the most important thing for the people. If you don't care about eating, do you care about shit? No wonder your mouth smells so bad." Shen Zhiyao stared at her and immediately responded.
Qu Youmeng was angry: "You have a bad mouth, you..."
Shen Zhiyao: "You have food on your teeth."
"!"
Qu Youmeng immediately shut up. Seeing several other girls lowering their heads and laughing sullenly, she wanted to scold but didn't dare to open her mouth, feeling very frustrated.
Shen Zhiyao calmly continued: "This is the first time we have met, so we don't know each other. Why have you targeted me so many times?"
"You care..."
Qu Youmeng said, "Don't worry about me," but thinking of Shen Zhiyao's words, "There's food on the teeth," she immediately covered her mouth.
Shen Zhiyao recalled it carefully and found that she really had no interaction with this person, so she said: "It seems that you just want to vent your dissatisfaction and use me as a punching bag?"
After a pause, Shen Zhiyao suggested seriously: "How about you try another way and vent your anger by eating shit?"
Qu Youmeng: "..."
Qu Youmeng was furious and ran away.
As soon as she left, the other little sisters didn't stay much. They talked to Pei Lingxuan for a while and then left.
Shen Zhiyao was the one who stayed.
"Zhiyao, I'm sorry, that Qu Youmeng was so annoying and made you feel wronged." Pei Lingxuan said apologetically after giving two pots of tomatoes to Shen Zhiyao.
"It's okay, I 'retaliated' on the spot." Shen Zhiyao didn't care much.
Shen Zhiyao held two pots of tomatoes. She had a change of thought and stared at Pei Lingxuan. After considering it for a moment, she said, "Lingxuan, does your father's caravan often go to Fanbang?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Pei Lingxuan was curious why she suddenly asked this.
Shen Zhiyao told her thoughts: "I like to study food very much. When I saw this bonsai today, I was wondering if there might be something edible in Fanbang that we haven't seen before."
"Next time your father's caravan goes to Fanbang, if they see any plants or bonsai that Daqi has never seen before, can you ask them to buy some for me?"
Maybe through this way, she can get something she wants.
"Okay, let me tell my father." After listening to it, Pei Lingxuan felt that what Shen Zhiyao said was a small matter and her father would agree to it.
