Chapter 536: Can you teach us?

Unlike people in Qingshui Village who can only go to banquets and eat cakes with their own bowls, the General's Mansion has its own exquisite plates.

After Qiao Ran cut the cake, she first placed the top piece of cake shaped like a longevity peach on the plate and held it in front of Mrs. Zheng with both hands.

"The peaches holding the sun are three thousand years old, and the xuan trees are fifty to the sky. Grandma, I wish you blessings as long as the flowing water of the East China Sea, and may your life be as long as the everlasting pine trees in the Southern Mountains!"

"Okay! Okay! Thank you Ran Ran!"

Mrs. Zheng took the cake made by her granddaughter and held it in front of her, smiling as if a bright spring flower had bloomed on her face.

The old ladies from other mansions looked at this scene with envy.

They really want to have such smart and capable juniors!

Zheng Lin and Zheng Huiniang helped divide the cake with knives. Naturally, the second and third pieces were given to General Zheng and Mrs. Qiao first.

Then, Qiao Ran, her mother and aunt packed the cakes, and the maids carefully held the plates and delivered the cakes to each guest according to their age.

Everyone couldn't help but be curious about this novel and beautiful pastry that they had seen for the first time in their lives. They had already stretched their necks to wait.

The first time they got it, many people looked at the appearance and then eagerly scooped up a piece and put it in their mouths.

"Wow! What kind of pastry is this? Isn't it delicious?"

"Why...why did I swallow it before I chewed it? It's so soft and soft that it doesn't even feel chewy! I swallowed it unconsciously."

"Why does this need to be chewy? Isn't this good? I'm almost losing all my teeth. This cake, which you don't even need to chew, is suitable for old people like us!"

"It's not just the elderly, look at how delicious my grandson eats! We toothless old people and those toothless little guys are equally suitable for eating this soft and soft pastry!"

Some of the male guests don't like sweets, so there are less cakes sent to them.

But most of the female relatives like to eat sweets, especially delicacies that look good.

The ladies and old ladies from various houses ate with great relish, and they couldn't help but chat while eating.

"Hmm! It's really delicious! I'll have to ask Mrs. Zheng later what kind of cake it is and where she bought it. I also have to ask the maids and ladies to buy it for me every day."

"Where can anyone sell this pastry in the capital? Didn't the girl named Qiao just say that? This is a foreign thing that is only available in foreign countries. It is estimated that the old general bought it from foreign merchants, or it is pie. People went to learn this craft from foreigners.”

"There are also many of these melons and fruits that we bought from foreign merchants. But why haven't we heard of these treasures from foreign merchants before?"

"Who knows? I feel like I have been favored by the gods since the General's Mansion recognized the young lady. The disease has healed, the body has become stronger, and there are all these good things. Should Miss Zheng deserve it? Will he be the lucky star of the General's Mansion? He will make his parents' family prosperous as soon as he comes back!"

"I don't think it has anything to do with the eldest lady. It should be her daughter, Miss Qiao. Look at this little girl who grew up in the countryside. When she arrived in the capital, she cured her grandfather and grandmother's old diseases and developed a whitening pill. , Jiuxin Pills and other magical pills, and it can actually make the ghost doctor voluntarily worship her as his teacher. This is the little lucky star of the General's Mansion, right?"

"That's true. Actually, have you noticed? Although Miss Qiao's skin is a little darker, her facial features are really good! She has the same delicate facial features and pretty face as her mother Hui Niang. If her skin were whiter , That’s really a standard beauty!”

"It's true! But even if he looks dark, he is so smart and capable, and he is still the master of the ghost doctor. It is estimated that there are many people who want to marry after they have hairpins. Mrs. Liu, don't you have a grandson about the same age as Miss Qiao? Not yet. Do you want to make this marriage quickly? It’s a pity that all my children and grandchildren are married, otherwise I would have been the first to get married.”

"This... I have to see if my Hao'er agrees with this marriage. After all, Miss Qiao is just a peasant girl. I'm afraid my Hao'er won't agree."

"That's right. It's not right to belong to a different family. You still have to think carefully about it. It's a pity that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, it would be better if she was the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion."

……

Qiao Ran had no idea that the female family members were chatting, and the topic actually turned to her, and also related to her life-long events.

If she knew that she had deliberately darkened her face, and that her status as a peasant girl had shielded her from a lot of debts, she would not have felt pity at all and would have laughed happily.

At this time, she was holding her share of the cake, and was dragged into the circle of ladies from aristocratic families by the Lin Sumei sisters.

Lin Suxin already knew that the birthday cake was made by Qiao Ran, and her admiration for Sister Ran deepened.

"Sister Ran, why are you so powerful? Are you a little fairy from heaven and earth? Not only are you lucky and have good medical skills, but now you also have such powerful craftsmanship!"

Lin Sumei couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Ran, this is the most delicious pastry I have ever eaten! Even when I attended the palace banquet, I have never eaten such a soft and sweet pastry!"

Several ladies who were friends with the sisters also nodded in agreement, saying that this was the most delicious pastry they had ever tasted.

"Sister Yuelan, do you think it is...?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Sumei suddenly asked Qin Yuelan, who was eating cake silently.

But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she suddenly remembered that Qin Yuelan had given false testimony at the last marriage recognition banquet, which almost caused Qiao Ran to be slandered. She quickly stopped talking, and then quickly added:

"Haha, Sister Yuelan must think so too, right? No one wouldn't like such delicious pastries."

But as soon as she said this, she saw Qin Yuelan, who was eating the cake, put down the bone china spoon in his hand. The spoon collided with the plate and made a crisp sound, which made the other ladies who were eating the cake stop. Looking here in surprise.

Qiao Ran raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Yuelan.

I heard that after she went back last time, Mrs. Qin ordered Qin Huang to give her a good lecture and even punished her by copying the female commandments a hundred times.

When I saw her this time, I saw that she was different from the elegant and dignified person she was at the last marriage recognition banquet. Instead, she seemed a little silent.

I don’t know if it’s because others are alienating her, or because she’s afraid of being laughed at, so she sits alone in silence most of the time.

When his name was called, Qin Yuelan raised her head and wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully with a silk handkerchief. She glanced at Qiao Ran with a fake smile on her face that made Qiao Ran feel uncomfortable:

"Well, that's right. The things Sister Qiao Ran makes are naturally extraordinary. But, I don't know where Sister Qiao Ran learned these skills. Can you teach us?"
