A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

The sunlight shone on the blue bricks inside the house. Aunt Su sat at the table, looking at the various snacks placed in front of her.

There were more than a dozen kinds of food on display, such as fried sausage, vegetarian three-shred noodles, noodles with bamboo shoot oil, Qibao vegetarian porridge, glutinous rice cake, Chongyang cake, and white sugar cake.

We are still in mourning at home, and the old lady cannot eat meat, so we can only buy some vegetarian food!

Aunt Jiao said, "Old Madam, you didn't eat much outside before, so we don't know whether these things are to your taste, so we bought some more and you can try them all."

Anyway, the things the old lady doesn’t like to eat can be given to the servants as rewards.

Now that the madam wants to cut back on expenses, the food is not as good as before, and the servants always feel like they are not getting enough to eat.

Fortunately, the old lady has already told the lady that the shares for the masters and servants in this courtyard will no longer be prepared by the main kitchen, but they will do it themselves.

However, the construction of the small kitchen has just started today, so it will take another two days before it can be used.

Aunt Su nodded and took a few sips of tea made from candied golden oranges.

I cut another small piece of Chongyang cake.

This Chongyang cake is rarely seen in modern dim sum shops.

In Tongcheng where Aunt Su lives, there is a very famous old brand. Although they also make Chongyang cake, it is only made on the Double Ninth Festival. It is no longer available for purchase a week after the festival. Often when Aunt Su remembers to buy it, they have already stopped making it.

Therefore, the first thing Aunt Su tasted was the Chongyang Cake.

It is soft, glutinous and slightly sweet when you take a sip, and has a lingering aftertaste of rice and crushed nuts.

The thing in the middle of the two layers seems to be jam, which is sweet and sour and tastes good... It is obvious that the ingredients are really clean, made and sold on the spot, and there are really no additives.

Aunt Su looked at Aunt Jiao who was standing by and said, "This Chongyang Cake is good."

Madam Jiao nodded and said, "I'll make a note of it."

Aunt Su feels so happy!

What kind of exclusive VIP private customized service is this?

In modern times, could she have such a close-knit bestie-type housekeeper?

She smiled and asked someone to bring a stool for Aunt Jiao as well.

"Madam Jiao, please eat with me!"

Aunt Jiao was not too surprised. At the old lady's age, the old man rarely came to her yard.

The daughter-in-law and son are not her biological parents, and the old lady is very lonely. If she has anything to say, she can only talk to her confidants like Aunt Jiao. Sometimes, she even asks them to sit down and accompany her during meals.

Aunt Su drank half a bowl of Qibao vegetarian porridge, picked up two kinds of noodles with two chopsticks, and ate half a white sugar cake, and then she felt full.

When she and Aunt Jiao ate, they used a public spoon and chopsticks, so even if some food was left over, it was still clean.

After giving the remaining food to the servants, Aunt Su went to check on the progress of the small kitchen. Then she mentioned to Aunt Jiao that she wanted to check out the small storeroom.

Naturally, everything in the small warehouse belongs to the old lady’s personal property.

This warehouse is not big, with only one window, which is about one and a half meters high and only as big as a flat plate. The iron bars on the window are welded. The door is also very narrow, with two thick doors and two iron locks.

Aunt Su, accompanied by Aunt Jiao, went in and saw a row of shelves against the wall with many boxes on them.

Aunt Su opened a box at random.

On the red silk base, there is an exquisitely embroidered small screen.

Although all the items here belonged to the original owner, there were too many things, and the original owner was getting old and had a declining memory, so he couldn't remember where the screen came from.

She picked up the small screen and examined it carefully.

Ouch, this is actually double-sided!

On one side there are broken branches of plum blossoms, and on the other side there is a lonely boat in the mountains and waters.

Aunt Su originally knew nothing about embroidery.

I have to go to work and take care of kids every day, so how can I have the leisure time to think about these things!

However, after she retired, she also joined a group to visit the birthplace of one of the four famous embroidery styles in China.

It is indeed beautiful, and it is indeed exquisite.

There are also fine items of various sizes for sale in their embroidery museum.

The big one is 40,000 and the small one is 3,000.

Even if Aunt Su had a pension, she wouldn't dare spend it like this.

Didn't that mean you didn't buy it?

Take this embroidered screen, with its delicate double-sided embroidery and mother-of-pearl sandalwood base...if it were in modern times, wouldn't it be worth at least seven or eight thousand?

Thinking of this, Aunt Su couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"Take this out and put it on the desk!"

Madam Jiao was slightly stunned. "Old Madam, do you still remember this screen? It was brought to you by the old master from Wanhong Courtyard?"

The old master is not the kind of person who is not interested in women. There has always been a constant stream of concubines in the mansion.

The old man visited those brothels quite often and had several good friends there.

This screen was taken from a head of a guild by the old man when he got drunk and given to the old lady.

This kind of thing, no matter how good it is, has an unclean origin!

The old lady was so angry that she cried for half the night, but she didn't dare to burn or throw it away, so she just threw it into the small warehouse.

Why is it that now that the old man is gone, he has to display it?

When Aunt Su heard this, she was able to find the original owner's memory.

Oh, life was so miserable for women in ancient times!

Look at her. When her husband is cheating outside and she catches him, she will give him a big beating!

In the end, she broke up with her husband and raised her daughter on her own.

Without that annoying thing, the mother and daughter lived quite comfortably.

The happiness index is rising rapidly!

Aunt Su smiled and said, "It's been so many years now, why would you still want to eat that old vinegar?"

"Besides, I can just put this thing here and look at it when I have nothing to do. If I get tired of it, I can burn it or smash it."

After hearing what the old lady said, Aunt Jiao understood.

Oh!

So that's what's happening!

So it’s not that the old lady has no temper, she just hasn’t expressed it yet!

Look, that happened more than ten years ago, and yet it’s still going to be destroyed in the end?
