Chapter 637： We met too late

Chapter 637: It’s too late to meet each other

As a result, as soon as the good news left, customers came to the shop.

They are all shopkeepers of several other dessert shops in the city.

Shopkeeper Peng welcomed them in and went to the backyard to drink tea and chat.

The moods of several shopkeepers are somewhat complicated.

They all heard that the business in Baiyunjian was very good, and they even secretly bought cakes and snacks to taste.

But this time when I came here, I saw with my own eyes that the goods were sold out among the white clouds as soon as the sun came up... They were so jealous that they were going crazy!

You know, for many years before, they had easily crushed Shopkeeper Peng!

Shopkeeper Peng saw their expressions and felt extremely happy, but on the surface he still entertained them in a friendly manner.

The shopkeepers reluctantly said a few words of congratulations and left in a hurry.

Chen Xi approached Shopkeeper Peng and asked, "What's going on with these people? Come here just to say congratulations?"

“Huh,” Shopkeeper Peng sneered, “They don’t believe that our business is good or that we are better than them. They have to see it with their own eyes!

“After all, I have been the boss for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable when I am suddenly snatched away from my first position!”

Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "You have to endure the discomfort. Are they only allowed to make money and we can only drink the northwest wind?

"Besides, this time the princess asked the emperor to reward him with a plaque. Even if they want to have a wrong idea, they have to weigh it."

Shopping malls are like battlefields. For the sake of money, many people use dirty methods.

Not to mention anything else, last month a long-established Shaobing shop was poisoned and almost killed someone, and later had to close down.

Shopkeeper Peng was alert, but he still asked: "Let me tell you, don't think that everything will be safe with the protection of the plaque awarded by the emperor.

“We still can’t let down our guard and be on guard at all times to be on the lookout for someone with erroneous intentions. The princess can trust us, so we must be more careful and not betray the trust of the princess!”

"Yes, the shopkeeper is right." Chen Xi nodded, and then said: "Shopkeeper, although my right hand is much better and I don't miss my work, I am the only one in the shop who can decorate flowers. If I can do it someday, Wouldn't an illness or accident delay business?

“This time I’m looking for female assistants, can you also find two young apprentices for me? I’ll teach an extra teacher on weekdays. If something happens, they can temporarily step in.”

Shopkeeper Peng was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled and patted Chen Xi on the shoulder, "My boss really didn't misjudge you, and you didn't hide anything. It's great."

Chen Xi said matter-of-factly, “My craftsmanship was taught by my employer, not my own, so why should I hide it?!

“Besides, if you train two apprentices, there will be more people to work on, the shop will do well, and you can make more money for the owner!”

Shopkeeper Peng smiled even more heartily, "Okay, okay, if this continues, our shop's business will definitely get better and better!"

I didn’t say how they discussed how to run the shop better, but I just said that after one night and three o’clock in the morning, the Jia family’s carriage arrived at Broken Gold Beach.

They passed the roadblock on the other side of the second village and arrived in front of Li's house smoothly.

The Jia family has only two children in the second room. Baozhu's brother is studying away from home, far away from home. Baozhu is the second wife's older daughter and is loved by the whole family.

So, she was almost killed by a peanut, and when the whole family found out about it later, they were all shocked. Naturally, everyone was grateful for the good news.

This time we came to visit to express our gratitude. Not only did Mr. Jia and his wife bring the orbs, but Mrs. Jia also came with them.

Li Lao Er specially stayed at home to entertain guests and invited Mr. Jia Er to talk in the study room in the front yard. The rest, Mrs. Jia, Second Mrs. Jia and Baozhu, were all welcomed into the suite in the backyard.

Mrs. Li lived a difficult life in her early years. In order to support her family and protect her children and grandchildren, she endured all kinds of hardships. Her expression was inevitably a bit stern and cold.

Now, the Li family has settled in Suijintan, their children and grandchildren are prosperous, and they have no worries about food and clothing. She has put on some weight.

When peace comes out of your heart, you become kind-hearted and kind-hearted.

At this moment, she and Mrs. Jia were sitting on the edge of the kang, eating fruit and talking about trivial matters at home, and unexpectedly lost their temper.

Mrs. Jia was also very happy. She originally came to say thank you, but she never expected to gain an old sister...

Especially since both of them lost their husbands early and raised their children together, just talking about these bitter tears made their relationship go a step further.

Jiayin and Baozhu were sitting at the end of the kang, chattering about the business of the shop and the fun things about Broken Gold Beach. It was also lively.

The little fox Santiao followed and made trouble, which made Bao Zhu especially want to touch its big tail.

Jiayin bribed Sanjiao with a roasted rabbit, and he got as many pearls as he wished, making him giggle loudly.

Mrs. Wen and Tao Hongying were sandwiched in the middle with Mrs. Jia Er. Seeing how happy the old man was and how lively the children were playing, they couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Jia Er said: "Why do I feel that it is too late for our two families to move around? It seems that the old man and the child have known each other for a long time. This closeness is really rare!"

Tao Hongying said with a smile: "I think so too. I always go to the city on weekdays, and Fu Niu'er also has to learn the rules and skills. She often leaves her mother-in-law at home alone, so she must be very lonely.

"It's going to be better in the future. I'll definitely invite your old lady to come and sit there often. You can enjoy flowers in the spring, eat melons in the fields in the summer, pick fruits in the autumn, and even eat hot pot and soak in the hot springs in the winter. Our Broken Gold Beach is never short of excitement. ”

"Oh, I heard what you said. Not to mention my mother-in-law, I want to come and live here permanently." Mrs. Jia Er smiled happily, then stuffed a gift note to Tao Hongying and said, "I found some fabrics and gadgets in the warehouse. Send it to the princess to thank her for saving the orb that day.

"Fourth Madam, you are also a mother. You must know that our daughter is our heartthrob. I don't even dare to think about how I will survive if the orb comes out! So, don't refuse, this is all my intention. I must ask the princess to accept it.”

Tao Hongying didn't want to see what was on the gift list, and she definitely couldn't refuse it, so she simply accepted it and said, "Okay, I'll accept it for Fu Niu'er. In fact, our Fu Niu'er doesn't have many friends on weekdays, and now I know your family. Orb, it’s so good.

“Baozhu is safe and sound, and we are happy to be our little sisters with Fu Niuer for a long time.”

The two families are interested in making good friends, so naturally the more they talk, the closer and lively they become.

Seeing that the sun was reaching noon, Tao Hongying went to prepare food.

The old and young ladies naturally set up the table in the backyard, and Li Laoer still accompanied Master Jiaer in the study.

Tao Hongying is already good at cooking, so she added two new dishes made from potatoes. As a staple food, she fried golden corn pancakes and steamed corn cakes.

The Jia family also planted some corn and potatoes this year. Firstly, they want to keep it for next year to continue farming. Secondly, the cook at home doesn’t know how to take care of it, so they haven’t eaten it even once.

Now when I eat these two high-yielding grains in the Li family, they both feel delicious.
