Chapter 364 The Palace Requests Fruits
Early the next morning, everyone had a rare day off. Even the teahouse, which was always crowded with people and had extremely hot business on holidays, was now closed.
In the spacious courtyard of the Yang family, there was a bustling scene early in the morning.
Everyone was busy practicing martial arts first, which was a fixed daily routine. Maybe because there were so many people today, there was laughter and joy during the martial arts practice, which was really lively!
Soon, Xiao Xing and his wife came over happily. When they came, they also went to the meat stall to bring the pork offal they had ordered, which would be used to make brine later.
At the same time, Qi Xingyun also arrived with two stove builders, and Yun Er and Yun Liu also came with them.
As soon as the craftsmen entered the door, they started to build the stove without stopping, making full preparations for the upcoming work of braising pork offal.
On the other side, Xiao Cao was happily planning to make some cookies. Since Yang Dashan and Li had never tasted this new food before, and this person was doing the work today, Xiao Cao was particularly careful to make it perfect.
I saw her deftly carrying out a bunch of tools needed to make cookies from the house, and asked others to help clean them.
Yun Er, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw those extremely familiar tools. Even if he wanted to pretend not to see them, it would probably be difficult to do so!
After all, he was so familiar with these tools that just looking at them made Yun Er's hands feel a little sore involuntarily.
He thought to himself: Should I ask Lao Liu to beat the egg liquid later? In fact, beating eggs to make liquid is not difficult, Lao Liu should be able to learn it quickly.
When everyone was busy, Yun Yi came over with a few people carrying a few large baskets filled with cakes and fruits.
Old Lady Yang was old, and no one needed her to do anything, so Xiao Caoer moved a chair to the yard and asked the old lady to sit on the chair and watch everyone work, calling it supervising.
Seeing Yun Yi and his men carrying things in, she showed a puzzled look on her face. When they came closer, Old Lady Yang stood up and went forward to greet them.
Looking at the baskets, she asked curiously, "Hey, what did you bring here? Why so many!" As she spoke, she reached out to lift the cloth covering the basket to see what was inside.
Upon seeing this, Yun quickly replied with a smile: "Old lady, there are some cakes and fruits in here. Please try them and see if you like them." As he spoke, he carefully lifted the cloth on the basket to let the old lady see.
Mrs. Li, who was standing nearby, also came over and agreed, "Why did they bring so much? We have some at home. They went out early in the morning to buy some. They thought there would be a lot of people, so they bought quite a lot."
Yun Yi smiled and said to Old Lady Yang: "Old lady, Madam Yang, don't worry too much. Although there is already a lot of food at home, we have a large family, and we can finish this food quickly."
After saying that, Yun Yi took out some fruits and asked someone to wash them. He looked around, found Qi Xingyun, and walked over.
"Master, when I went to the palace to pick up fruits just now, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager learned that there was a party at home today, and they said they would come to join in the fun later." Yun Yi carefully leaned close to Qi Xingyun's ear and reported the news in a low voice.
Indeed, the fruits and snacks that Yun Yi brought back just now were all from the palace.
In ancient times, fruits were already scarce, and ordinary people could hardly afford such luxuries. Especially now in the cold winter, fruits became even more scarce and precious.
Because of this, Qi Xingyun specially wrote a letter and sent Yun Yi to deliver it to the palace, asking for some fruits and snacks.
Hearing this, Qi Xingyun nodded calmly: "It's okay, since the emperor and the queen mother intend to come, let them do it.
However, after they arrive, you need to send more people to guard the surrounding areas closely to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Don't repeat the mistakes of the past few days!" He stared at Yun Yi sharply and gave the order solemnly.
Yun Yi understood what he meant and quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, sir! I will go there immediately to make proper arrangements." After that, he turned around and hurried away to arrange security matters.
Yun Er was a little happy to see Yun Yi coming, as there was one more person to help beat the egg liquid. However, who knew that Yun Yi left after just a short while. He was a little disappointed and could only hold Yun Liu tightly.
