Chapter 2518 Origami Artist
On the other hand, Bai Ruozhu wanted to ask Princess Shanzi something, but she didn't have time to ask because she was completely disrupted by this mess.
But because of Princess Zenko making such a fuss, Bai Ruozhu no longer wanted to sell the fresh soup powder to the emperor.
On the one hand, the emperor will become a monk sooner or later and has no interest in business matters. If the fresh soup powder is in his hands, he may not be able to make it. When the time comes, he will not be able to grab Shen Zongyi's business. Isn't such a good resource wasted in vain?
On the other hand, after the emperor abdicates, the second prince will take over, and the matter of fresh soup noodles will also be left in his hands, and Princess Masako is his biological mother. With such a scam, how can things turn in the right direction? develop?
Therefore, Bai Ruozhu felt that it was better to consider this matter in the long term. Even if it were to find a businessman or even a famous person to cooperate, it would be better than the royal family.
But now the only big name they know is General Akamatsu, and General Akamatsu is greedy, tyrannical, and definitely not a suitable partner.
Just when everyone was discussing who would be the best person to cooperate with, a figure appeared at the door. He looked at everyone timidly and asked: "I'm much better now. Is there anything I can help you with? You saved me. I I want to do something to repay you.”
It was Li Feng who was saved by Yan Zhi with his life, but his words were difficult for Bai Ruozhu and the others. What should they arrange for a demon?
If he is allowed to leave, if he remembers something and goes back to the place where he and Yanzhi once lived, and then thinks of Yanzhi, and dies for Yanzhi, wouldn't Yanzhi's sacrifice be in vain?
"How is your martial arts? I'm not talking about magic." Jiang Yichun asked.
Li Feng showed an embarrassed expression, "I don't have any magic skills and I don't have any martial arts skills. It's difficult to protect myself."
"But this is Kyoto, and your use of magic will attract Onmyoji to capture you." Jiang Yichun said.
"Then I will practice martial arts well now." Li Feng said seriously.
Bai Ruozhu shook his head slightly, even if he practiced martial arts now, he couldn't achieve it overnight. It seemed that things that required force value should not be left to him.
Finally, after everyone thought about it, they could only ask him to help with some kitchen work.
Fortunately, Lifeng didn't have any airs, and he didn't mind that only women were in the kitchen. He immediately rushed to work enthusiastically, starting with making fires.
When Bai Ruozhu saw that he was easily satisfied and had a smile on his face from time to time, he thought of Yanzhi's death and felt a little blocked in his heart.
On the one hand, she didn't want Li Feng to think of Yan Zhi, after all, this was Yan Zhi's last wish, but on the other hand, she felt sorry for Yan Zhi, and didn't want Yan Zhi to be completely forgotten by Li Feng after she had sacrificed so much.
Two days later, the emperor sent someone to apologize to Bai Ruozhu, and said that Princess Masako already knew her mistake and wanted to apologize to Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu immediately replied that no, she couldn't afford an apology from a princess.
If you can think of it with your toes, will Princess Masako feel that she is wrong? She reluctantly apologized, but she didn't know how much she hated her in her heart. She was too lazy to act with such a person.
The emperor thought she was still angry, so he thought he would talk about it some time later, but he didn't bother her any more.
This afternoon, Bai Ruozhu was sorting out the medicinal materials in the post house. She had been helping a lot of people recently, and the consumption was a bit high. She needed to see which medicinal materials were insufficient and replenish them early, so as not to run out of stock when she was in urgent need.
Unexpectedly, there was the sound of a carriage outside. Someone got off the car and knocked on the door. He said in a brisk tone: "Is Mr. Bai here? Axi wants to see you."
Bai Ruozhu unconsciously had a smile on her face and asked Yizi to go over and open the door.
It's not only Aki who doesn't want to come in, but also Yoshiko and the girl named Yukiko.
"Why did you three get together?" Bai Ruozhu asked with a smile.
"I asked Yoshiko to come with me to see Yukiko. She just hadn't bought her adoptive father's birthday gift yet, so we took her out and helped her choose the gift." Aki pointed to the sky with a smile. , "It just so happens that there is no sun today."
People always say that sunny days are good, but this girl's tone is as if cloudy days are a good thing.
Bai Ruozhu's smile deepened a little, "You two are very happy getting along. In the future, you should also visit Xuezi more and talk to her."
"Okay." Yoshiko replied with a smile.
Xuezi saluted Bai Ruozhu, "I asked Sisters Axi and Fangzi to bring me here because I wanted to thank Madam properly. I was really in a hurry that day."
Bai Ruozhu gave her a hand and said, "Thank you. No need to be so polite. Let's go into the room and talk."
Even if the sky is gloomy, it is still not good for Yukiko's skin to be exposed to ultraviolet rays.
The three of them followed Bai Ruozhu into the house. Xuezi took out another box and handed it to Bai Ruozhu and said, "Madam, I folded this myself. You can like it if you like it."
Bai Ruozhu opened the box, and inside it turned out to be a delicate object folded out of paper. If he looked closely, he saw that there was a longevity peach on the top and a bat on the bottom.
"I heard that the custom in the Central Plains is that bats represent blessings and peaches represent longevity. I like my wife's health, so I folded this and gave it to my wife." Xuezi explained.
"Wow, so ingenious! Did you think of this yourself, Xuezi?" Yoshiko asked in surprise.
Xuezi blushed and nodded, "I just like playing with these."
"It's amazing. The best origami ornaments I have ever seen are not as detailed as yours!" Yoshiko said seriously, keeping her eyes on the box. She obviously liked it very much.
Xuezi laughed, "Then I'll give you one as well, fold it into another shape."
Bai Ruozhu remembered that Fuso people loved the art of origami. If Xuezi were to live in modern times, he would still be an origami artist.
"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much." Bai Ruozhu smiled at Xuezi.
Xuezi became happy and said, "As long as Madam likes it."
"Xuezi, your skills are impressive even when you get to the palace. You have to have more confidence in yourself in the future," Aki said.
"How can I compare with those masters? I just play around by myself." Xuezi said embarrassedly.
Bai Ruozhu liked these girls very much, so he kept them for dinner. After the three of them had eaten, they cheered loudly and shouted that they would come more often in the future.
Bai Ruozhu was happy with Central Plains cuisine again, so why in modern times, Chinese cuisine is so popular all over the world because it is not our own food.
…
At the city gate, a man dressed all in black with half a metal mask on his face was stopped by the guards.
"Wearing a mask and covering your face like this, who knows if you are a key criminal to be apprehended?" the guard said sternly.
The man touched the mask on his face, sighed and said, "My face is ruined. I'm afraid I'll scare some officials if I take it off."
"Fart! We haven't seen anything before. If you are told to pick it, just pick it. Stop talking nonsense!" The guard pushed him unhappily.
The man stepped aside and said displeasedly: "This is what you said, don't blame me for not reminding you."
After saying that, he took off his mask. For a moment, the expressions of everyone around him changed, and some of the timid ones even screamed.
