Chapter 626 Raising troops to investigate crimes
Jiayin prefers the eighth day of September. After all, the second day is the Double Ninth Festival. There is a custom of climbing high and looking far away, and many people go out.
If the shop opens at this time, its popularity will definitely be better.
But it’s already the fifth day of September, and there are three days left, so I’m a little nervous.
She thought for a while and then said, "We will open the business on the eighth day of September. We don't need to make the plaque yet, and we will arrange the rest."
Shopkeeper Peng responded quickly and was busy waiting for others.
Jiayin called Chen Xi, made a few small cakes, framed them, and then went to the palace.
The emperor went down to court and was busy with government affairs for a while. When he heard that Princess Kangle came to bring snacks, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's rare that this girl comes to the palace again. I thought I scared her last time."
Manager Yi understood and quickly asked the young **** to pick him up at the palace gate. Then while serving tea, he smiled and said, "The princess brought snacks, which saved the old slave a headache and prepared them for the emperor. There is nothing new in the imperial dining room, let alone Your Majesty, this old slave is tired of eating."
"Arrogant!" the emperor laughed and scolded, "if these words get out, those cooks will probably tremble with fear."
Not long after, Jiayin arrived with Grandma He and Shuiling.
Jiayin wore a goose-yellow shirt and a light green skirt today. She had two small flower buds on her head, a light golden hair tie, a silver collar around her neck, and a mutton-fat jade plaque.
This dress is simple and refreshing, which makes her chubby face look whiter and her smile makes her eyebrows crave. Everyone who sees her can't help but feel good.
"Uncle Huang, Fu Niu'er is here to bring you delicious food!" Jiayin knelt down and kowtowed, instead of shouting long live, he shouted happily and asked the emperor to help him up quickly.
"Little girl, why did you think of coming to see me today?" The emperor signaled to Manager Yi to kick out the maids and eunuchs in the palace, then patted Jiayin's skirt with his own hands and pulled her to sit down together.
Jiayin smiled and blushed a little, but he was confident, "The pastry shop is about to open, and all kinds of good things are ready, but I, the second boss, are exhausted.
“Now is the time for Uncle Huang, the big boss, to contribute! Uncle Huang must perform well!”
The emperor laughed loudly when he heard this, and responded, "It turns out that the army is here to investigate, so tell me, what can I, the big boss, do?"
Jiayin signaled Shuiling to hand the food box to Manager Yi for inspection. Manager Yi quickly checked it and then put it on the table.
Jiayin only brought four cakes, one was a cute version of a cow head, one was a pink peach, one was a picture of hundreds of flowers, and one was a fruit mosaic.
The emperor saw the novelty and couldn't help but praise, "The dim sum chef is so thoughtful!"
Happy with the good news, he pushed the cow-headed cake towards the emperor and said with a smile, "Uncle Huang is a cow, eat this first."
After saying that, she picked up the fork and took a bite, then put it into her mouth happily.
The emperor smiled and nodded her forehead, "What a ghost girl!"
Having said that, he couldn't wait to take a bite. The sweet and soft texture made his brows widen.
One big and one small, while sharing the cake, they discussed the business affairs in a decent manner.
"Uncle Huang, the shop still needs a plaque, can you help me write it, okay? Even if others don't come in to spend money when they see it, at least they won't dare to get jealous and tamper with the business.
"Fu Niu'er is particularly afraid of such a delicious cake. It would be a pity if someone put dirty things on it. My grandma said that it is the most abominable thing to spoil people who eat. After death, they will go to **** and be punished!"
The fat girl was chirping, shaking her little head while eating, with cream on her mouth, she looked so cute.
But when it comes to business, he is serious, like an old shopkeeper. This contrast was so cute that the emperor couldn't help but laugh, and he was naturally happy about it.
"Okay, I, the great shopkeeper, have tried my best to save the second boss from complaining when the money is distributed at the end of the year." The emperor asked for a handkerchief from Manager Yi, wiped the fat girl with cream, and said, "And No other explanation, second boss? "
Jiayin smiled and continued to make requests shamelessly, "On the opening day of the eighth day of September, let Mr. Yi go to the store to buy some delicious food. It will be a big fanfare. Then everyone will definitely rush to enter the store. They all want to taste what Uncle Huang likes. Snacks to eat!”
This is easy, and the emperor agreed again.
Manager Yi also joked, "Oh, I would like to thank the princess for such a good opportunity. When the time comes, I will have a good taste. My saliva has become a river, but the emperor has never rewarded me. I am greedy. I was bitten by the horns even in my dreams.”
The emperor and Jiayin both laughed, especially the emperor, who rewarded him with a piece of cake at that time, "Hurry up and eat it, so as not to be embarrassed in the store that day, and I will be embarrassed as well."
Jiayin sat there for a while and then left.
Needless to say, the emperor also rewarded me with some good things such as jewelry and fabrics.
The emperor stood at the door of the main hall, watching the fat girl running away with cheerful steps, still with a smile on his face, and said, "My cousin said that this girl loves money and is born with money. I didn't believe it before, but now I know Half a word is good.
“She just brought a few snacks over, exchanged them for a lot of good things, and left the palace. All the business was done with me!”
Manager Yi also smiled and said, "That's because the emperor loves the princess and is willing to suffer losses. But the princess is really smart when it comes to business. I want to help the emperor prepare a big box so that it can contain the dividends from the dim sum shop during the Chinese New Year!"
The emperor was amused and laughed again...
Jiayin had a busy day. When she got home, she gave half of the jewelry and fabrics to her grandma, and then she talked about opening a snack shop.
Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying were worried, and both said they would go there that day to help take care of it.
While talking about the excitement, Mrs. Wen came over from next door.
The fruits on the mountain are sour to ordinary people, but she, a pregnant woman, didn’t like them.
At this moment, while eating, she heard that the shop was opening, and she smiled and said, "Let the shop make a birthday cake tomorrow, and we will also help Fu Niuer do business."
tomorrow?
Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying were both puzzled. Mrs. Wen couldn't help but said, "Auntie, you forgot, Hongying and I will take Fu Niuer as a guest tomorrow. The invitation has been sent a long time ago!"
“Oh, I’ve been so busy these days, I’ve really forgotten all about it!” Tao Hongying slapped her forehead. She didn’t often go out, so she suddenly had an invitation and threw it behind her.
Old Mrs. Li also quickly gathered together, "Yes, it's Mrs. Jia's birthday! The birthday gifts haven't been prepared yet, so hurry up and open the warehouse to have a look."
The Jia family is an old family in Xindu. The second wife is on good terms with Mrs. Wen. The third master of the Jia family works in the Ministry of War and has been in frequent contact with Li Laosi recently.
So, Mrs. Jia’s second wife visited Mrs. Wen for this birthday party, and found out about the Li family through her. Knowing that the Li family also wanted to move around, she quickly sent the housekeeper to deliver the invitation in person.
This can be regarded as the powerful people in the city who took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the Li family.
As a result, the Li family was so busy that they completely forgot about it.
If it weren’t for Mrs. Wen’s reminder, it would have been really messed up.
