Chapter 36 Assessment (1)
As soon as Li Hongmei stepped out of the door of the treasure building, she instantly felt the strange eyes of the stall owners on both sides, her expression was still calm, and she slowly walked down the steps, and her expression before following up was the same, and then she walked into another famous antique shop next to her again.
Not long after, he came out again, like an old man hanging out here, nothing special, and the small stall owners who looked on both sides quickly withdrew their gaze and continued to solicit tourists who came and went on the road.
After Li Hongmei visited two or three houses, she quickly walked out of this Dongwei Street, thought for a while, turned the corner and walked into the small vegetable market in the alley next door.
After a few minutes, there was a small bag of lettuce and carrots in his hand, as well as a green onion, and he stood next to the bus stop with a small black bag, just like an ordinary old woman buying vegetables, inconspicuous and not eye-catching.
A black sedan drove past the street at this time, and Shen Lang in the driver's seat saw the old man waiting on the side of the road at a glance, "Third brother, the old man is quite smart, he knows how to buy some vegetables to cover up, you were worried about her safety with so much cash just now, now it seems that you don't have to worry about it." ”
The two had just heard Pan Shiran's report upstairs, knowing that Li Hongmei was carrying so much cash, Shen Ziyi was a little uneasy, and the two drove over to look for it, intending to take the old man away.
"Hmm. Shen Ziyi took a look, only to see Li Hongmei follow the flow of people onto the bus, through the transparent window, you can see that a young girl immediately got up to give her seat, Shen Ziyi slowly retracted his gaze, "Then let's go back." ”
As soon as the two of them returned to the Treasure Building, they happened to meet Zhou Wenbin who came back from outside, and at this time, Pan Shiran was standing next to him and recounting the situation just now, "Master, do you know what the third master did just now? There was an old man just now..."
"Oh, there's such a fun thing?"
Zhou Wenbin, who is in his forties, is just like his name, he looks a bit literati in a white Tang costume, wearing gold-framed glasses, and he looks a little more elegant. ”
"That's it. ”
Pan Shiran took the mahogany box with a very eye-catching, this mahogany box was a few points higher than the grade brought by Li Hongmei herself, lifted the lid of the box, and the small and delicate silverware makeup box was placed on the soft red flannel, under the warm light, the heavy and delicate patterns flashed with a touch of silver light, although it is not of high value, but such a delicate small object is still very pleasing to some women.
Zhou Wenbin laughed in a low voice, and said to Shen Ziyi who came over, "You won't lose anything you buy, and you will leave it to your daughter-in-law at that time." ”
"Alas, Grandma originally wanted to leave it to you as a dowry. Li Hongmei looked a little regretful, and told Lou Qingyu about today's events at the dinner table.
As she spoke, her expression was a little casual, as if she was not selling her most cherished items, "The debt owed to your cousin can be paid off by tens of thousands, and Grandma will think of a way later." ”
"Grandma, why did you suddenly sell the antiques that your grandfather gave you?"
Lou Qingyu's eyes were a little dark, and she always felt that this incident happened a little suddenly, and how much Grandma cherished that silverware vanity box, she was clear, since Grandpa's accident, that silverware vanity box was equivalent to Grandma's sustenance for Grandpa's longing and emotion.
Not to mention that this is the only antique related to grandpa, when the loan shark came to collect the debt, he had already removed the real and fake antiques that his grandfather had picked up from Dongwei Street, and only this small silver vanity box was not found.
And along the way, they have encountered so many things, and this silverware vanity box is their ultimate bottom line.
What is it that is persecuting Grandma step by step, so that she wants to be like this?
Lou Qingyu suddenly remembered what he heard the last time he went to his cousin's house, and his cold black eyes flashed a little dark, "Grandma, has my cousin been to the house?"
Li Hongmei gently put down her chopsticks and shook her head with a smile, "Your cousin is busy taking care of your Xiaowen, it is said that she is going to prepare for the college entrance examination, how can she have time to come and see my old wife, just thinking that I can't let you make money so hard alone, grandma feels sorry for you." ”
Lou Qingyu was suspicious, the look on her face was still faint, and she was a little irritable in her heart, always feeling that Grandma was hiding something from her.
"And your grandma is tired of this makeup box, grandma knows that you are distressed, and when you have money in the future, buy a better one for grandma. ”
Lou Qingyu lowered his eyes and didn't speak, his inky eyes crossed with a touch of astringency, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not.
Li Hongmei sighed secretly and hid the gloom in her heart.
The secrets that the grandparents and grandchildren have to keep secret are all based on the mood of thinking about each other.
For your own good, I don't want to let you know, sometimes it's really helpless.
-------------
Zhao Pengfei answered a phone call in the morning, and after answering it, he came back to the shop with a mysterious face, knocked on the glass, and the crisp "dong dong" sound attracted the attention of the two people inside, and Lou Qingyu cast a puzzled look.
"Xiao Qingyu, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
"Listen together. For example, there are two options, A and B, which one you choose, and I choose Z.
"Okay, I'll start with the good news. Zhao Pengfei didn't care, and said to himself, "The first baking and food festival will be held in the magic city commercial plaza in half a month, and all the bakers of dessert shops and bakeries in the magic city are invited to participate in the registration, because the fat brother I am also a little famous in the food industry, and the event organizer over there recommended you, and I heard that Yu Jimo also recommended you." ”
"I'm not going. ”
Lou Qingyu subconsciously refused, she was not interested in this kind of business activity that can only enhance her fame, the income is obviously not large, and she spends a lot of energy, and for her now, making money is the most important thing, with this leisure, it is better to make more bread and cakes.
"Little Feather, this one is different. Zhao Pengfei knew that Lou Qingyu had misunderstood, and hurriedly continued to explain, "The income of this food festival in Modu Commercial Plaza is okay, they opened a national food festival, according to big data statistics, the income of each stall on that day is not less than 5,000 yuan." ”
5,000 dollars a day?
The movement in Lou Qingyu's hand stopped instantly, and a pair of black eyes stared at Zhao Pengfei's affection, as if he was recognizing how true what he said, if it was true, then the aunt's debt could be repaid at one time, thinking of this, the originally delicate facial features were a little dazzling because of the bright color in his eyes.
"And I've calculated, this baking food festival, with your craftsmanship with a little feather, the income every day will not be lower than this amount, and it is said that there is a mysterious prize, and the prize is definitely not less than 50,000. ”
Lou Qingyu didn't forget the question at the beginning, "What's the bad news?"
"Well, it's actually not bad news, it's that Xiao Qingyu, you have been in the industry for less than half a year, and you need to pass an assessment before you can sign up. ”
"Assessment?"
Zhao Pengfei hesitated a little, "Yes, it is said that the person in charge of the assessment is a well-known baking master in China. ”
"Is it Fang Jing?"
"How do you know?!" Zhao Pengfei was shocked, he hadn't said it yet!
"Only he is the only one who worries you so much. After all, Zhao Pengfei has always been very confident in his baking skills, and it should not be easy for him to be so worried.
Fang Jing, the master baker who is famous for his harshness, was only thirty years old and won the highest honor of international bakers - Seven Star Baker, and he is currently the only Chinese person who has achieved this glory.
