The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 852 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 23

Shao Boben didn't want to pay attention to this person, but he heard the boss Zhou Yuan say: "Su girl, why are you here? You haven't come to buy meat in person for a long time."

A sentence that sounds normal to others is considered a joke to Su Xiangran.

The reason why she didn't come was that someone else had taken over the task of buying meat during this period.

"Xiao Ran, why are you here?" Shao Bowen almost immediately put down the knife in his hand and walked over. He wanted to touch the other person, but found that his hands were greasy. In the end, he had to wipe them on his clothes again and again.

Zhou Yuan rarely saw his boss like this, so he said, "Stop wiping it. Your clothes are almost useless."

Shao Bowen stopped what he was doing after hearing this, and then said to Su Xiangran: "You came at the right time, I'll give you the money."

As he spoke, he reached out and took out his purse from his bosom and gave it directly to Su Xiangran: "Here! All for you!"

"No!" Su Xiangran refused, "There's also your money in here."

"Aren't you trying to save money to rent a shop? Consider this as a loan from me." Shao Bowen patted the purse on his waist and said, "I have enough to spend now. I'll talk about it when you run out of money."

Although Shuanzi was "concentrating" on serving meat to the customers, he didn't miss a word of what the two men said.

Looking at the two of them talking and laughing, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

What? He is a young master after all. Even if he is “demoted” to a pork stall to gain experience, he can still attract pretty girls.

As he was thinking, Shuanzi couldn't help but look in the direction of Su Xiangran. Shao Bowen obviously noticed his actions, and he turned his body to block Shuanzi's sight.

"What kind of meat do you want? I'll get it for you!" Shao Bowen said to Su Xiangran with a smile, "I'll give you a cheaper price!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yuan felt very "resentful". Although the price Shao Bowen calculated for Su Xiangran was not at a loss, the profit was still less.

Forget it, forget it, just consider it as helping his boss find a wife.

Su Xiangran picked out her own items and left the meat stall.

Shao Bowen returned to his previous self of being quiet and unsmiling, as if the "face change" just now was just an illusion.

When the stall was closed in the evening, Shuanzi gently pushed Shao Bowen and said, "Shao, who was that little girl today? Why did you give her money?"

"It has nothing to do with you!" Shao Bowen left only these few words and went back to the house he rented.

Shuanzi went back to where he lived with Zhou Yuan.

"Master, today..." Shuanzi didn't get the answer from Shao Bowen, so he asked Zhou Yuan, "You know who I'm talking about, right?"

Zhou Yuan looked at Shuanzi and said, "Who he is has nothing to do with you. Just do your own thing. Why do you have so many concerns every day?"

This apprentice is really disappointing. If he wasn't his relative, he would have been kicked out long ago. He doesn't do much work, eats a lot, and most importantly, he talks too much and always likes to ask questions.

Shuanzi hit a wall on both ends and stopped asking.

Su Xiangran spent two days and finally sorted out the process and dishes of the "Lotus Banquet".

Of course, Shao Bowen's help is indispensable here, otherwise it would take her a long time just to copy these words.

After preparing all this, Su Xiangran went to see Madam Su with her mother Li Niang and explained to her the preparations for the entire banquet.

The focus of the Lotus Banquet lies in the word "reward".

Appreciating the scenery is appreciation, appreciating the flowers is appreciation, tasting the food and drinking tea is even more appreciation.

Because it is a small banquet, only a few prominent families in the city will be invited.

The mistresses of those families will bring their daughters to attend the birthday party.

"First, the guests are seated." Su Xiangran took out the list she had prepared earlier and explained, "The ladies will have lotus dew tea, which is refreshing and can relieve internal heat, and the young ladies will have sour plum soup, which is sweet and sour.

Then there are four dried fruits and four snacks.

As for dried fruits, I have already checked the north and south shops in advance. It happens that they have the popular ones in stock. For the four snacks, the main flavor is the lotus crisp, and there are three small snacks, namely hawthorn cake, jujube paste cake, and pea yellow, which means the three yangs bring good luck. "

When Su Xiangran wanted to continue, she heard Madam Su say, "Xiaoran! Let me see the list in your hand."

"Okay, ma'am." Su Xiangran handed it over without any hesitation.

Madam Su looked at the papers and nodded repeatedly. Finally, she praised them, "It's written very well. You can't tell at all that this is your first time planning such a small banquet."

It is naturally written in a comprehensive, concise and easy to understand manner. After all, being a "form party" in this modern society is not for nothing.

"I won't read it either!" Madam Su returned the paper to Su Xiangran, "Just follow what's written here! Just tell me what you need to buy. Tomorrow I'll ask your father to bring you the guest list, as well as personal preferences and taboos.

Take another look at it and make some revisions as you see fit. Just by looking at what you wrote here, I know you can do it well."

"Yes!" Su Xiangran responded, and when she looked up, she saw the original heroine Qiu Xing behind Su Shangyun.

With a thought in her mind, she said to Su Shangyun, "Miss, can I borrow someone from you?"
