"The day before yesterday, the Gu family sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that you will come on the day you get married. This is the first official meeting between your father and grandfather after many years. Mom knows that you have many ideas. Can you think of a way to help? Have your father and grandfather resolved their knots?"

Xiaoxiao recalled how her father had been immersed in the kitchen studying new dishes these past few days. She patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll take care of it!" The key point is that there is nothing difficult about it. Dad has always been able to cook with ease, even if I never worry about making a list for the emperor. How can I be bothered by the menu for a mere gift? It's not because the guests who come are a bit special.

Especially important, about, and I miss you very much.

Xiaoxiao Bala watched at the door for a long time. Seeing that her father was about to put down another plate of dishes that she was not satisfied with, she volunteered to "deal with it".

The General's Mansion advocates frugality, so even if the quantity of food to be sampled is not large, no one will waste it. Recently, the maids and servants in the Mansion have been blessed with delicious food, and Xiaoxiao is greedy for it.

Gu Changan's cooking skills were on par with her today, and even better in terms of taste alone.

In ancient times, there were not so many kinds of condiments, and when cooking, more emphasis was placed on bringing out the deliciousness of the ingredients. In this regard, Xiaoxiao felt inferior. As for her skill with the knife and heat, practice makes perfect, and it is the same in ancient and modern times. Therefore, the only advantage she can be slightly proud of is innovation.

After eating the test dish and wiping his mouth clean, Xiaoxiao mysteriously took out a bamboo shoot and said, "Dad, look what this is."

Gu Changan knew that she had made sour bamboo shoots to change the Ning family's poverty and embarrassment, but this thing was really not suitable for a banquet. Just when he didn't know how to persuade him, he saw his daughter hollowing out the top of the bamboo shoots and decorating the body. , then stuffed a piece of Hericium erinaceus into the hollowed out part: "Dad, look, what does this look like?"

"Edible vegetables can be found everywhere. If we could make a pen that can both write and eat, wouldn't it be unprecedented and unprecedented?"

Gu Changan's eyes changed from doubt to surprise, and Xiaoxiao struck while the iron was hot: "Brother Ayan recently got some Hericium erinaceus, which is perfect for making pen tips. He also has some wild game there, which is perfect for making soup stock. "

Gu Changan laughed at her: "You are not merciless in taking other people's things, but where did he get these?"

Xiaoxiao opened her innocent eyes wide: "Dad, you know that we have built a mountain in Fuyuan Village. My little brother wants to find an empty mountain top near the capital. I got this easily during the mountain patrol."

She felt more and more that it was a wise move to share the secret of space with her little brother. No, she could push everything on him. Not only would she not be in trouble, but she could also let her little brother help smooth things over, making things easier for her.

The next day, Rong Yan indeed sent good Hericium mushrooms and a bunch of game delicacies. Gu Changan was very satisfied and immediately devoted himself to the study of the new dish "Yubi Hericium".

How to prepare the ink color and how to develop the color just right without affecting the taste are all things that Chef Gu has to consider. Xiaoxiao once again had nothing to do, so she simply took the escort that her parents insisted on her to take with her, and took to the streets. Wandering.

This time I went out, firstly to check the progress of the bookstore, and secondly to look for an empty shop for rent.

The workers did not dare to neglect the royal errands. Each bookcase was built in strict accordance with the drawings given by Xiaoxiao. Of course, there were a few who could not stop talking, saying that the bookcases that reached the sky and the ground were neither beautiful nor convenient, but they were all used by the general. The government ignored it.

The role of bookstores has long been spread, so the people are more eager to complete the bookstore than the government, so that their sons and daughters can touch those precious books.

The life of the people in the capital was better than that in other places, but not to the extent that it could be easily supplied to scholars. Books were hard to come by. Even if there were students who were willing to copy books to supplement their family income, there were still few books enough to be sold in bookstores. Very few.

Whether the handwriting is good-looking and whether the font and size are consistent before and after, this alone is enough to invalidate the results of many people copying books all night long.

So when those spectacular bookcases in the bookstore were completed, the craftsmen couldn't help but ask.

"Girl, the bookcase is made according to your request, but can you really find so many books?"

Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said it was okay, but not to mention the craftsmen, even Rong Yan and Xiao Ran were worried about this matter.

"This bookstore in the capital is more than ten times larger than the one in Xijiang County. If you want to fill the bookcases, you will have to move out more than half of the bookstores in the capital. The strange thing is..."

Xiao Ran frowned: "How come I heard that all the major bookstores have met rich men recently and have reserved more than half of the books in the store?"

This fact is really unusual. They can naturally seek help from the emperor, but in this way, Xiaoxiao's reputation for being unlucky can't be wiped away. Even if she doesn't have to be an official in the court, and she doesn't have to pay attention to the weird things in the court, everyone still has it in their hearts. awkward.

"But this child is not anxious at all and tells us not to worry."

Rong Yan thought about the inexhaustible books in the mall, and then thought about her skyrocketing points every day, and she really wasn't that worried: "I believe Xiaoxiao."

Xiao Ran was both pleased and helpless. She was pleased that the two children trusted each other, but she was also helpless that they may have trusted each other blindly.

Xiao Ran was anxious, and suddenly remembered that she had asked Xiaoxiao to help the Gu family and his son reconcile not long ago, and she felt happy - if you want to say who has the most books in the capital, the Gu family dares to claim second place. I'm afraid no one in the world can Dare to be number one.

Could it be that her daughter plans to use this as an opportunity to get her husband back in touch with the Gu family?

She touched her chin and felt that this might be a good idea.

Gu Changan focused more on cooking, so he didn't know much about this matter. However, the news that books in several bookstores had been ordered quickly spread throughout the capital. In addition to those watching the excitement, there were also I really sweated for Xiaoxiao.

For example, Gu Ruoruo sneaks in to find Xiaoxiao.

The little girl blushed and pulled Xiaoxiao to whisper: "Let me tell you, although our Gu family is not as wealthy as those powerful people, in terms of the amount of books they have, they can't even catch up!"

"Not to mention anyone else, I alone can fill a shelf of books for you, so don't be polite to me!"

"Otherwise, I will have the book delivered to your home tonight!"

Xiaoxiao was very touched by the kindness of her friends. Not only Gu Ruoruo, but also the Shen family members she met when they first came to the capital came to them one after another and expressed their willingness to help.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, Xiaoxiao regarded them as true friends from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't lack books. Come to my house tomorrow to eat more. I'll prepare something delicious for you in the kitchen later!"

Even if it wasn't enough now, after she got her haircut, she would fill the bookstore to the brim in minutes.

Tomorrow is the hair extension ceremony, and the newly renovated study room also needs to be cleaned and smelled first. The emperor has given enough time, so Xiaoxiao is not in a hurry to do the job. However, in the eyes of others, her effortless style means that she is just a poor girl, and there is nothing she can do about it. .
