Uncle Guo picked up a piece of cake and ate it, so he smiled and nodded and said it was delicious. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "I didn't expect Sixteen to make such delicious dim sum." …… There must have been a lot of eggs here. ”
"Hmm. Xia Zhi nodded, "It's mainly made of eggs." ”
"Good, good. Uncle Guo stretched out his hand to take the second cake and paused slightly, then took it back, and only smiled and said yes.
At this time on the summer solstice, he took out the box of dim sum from Guixiangzhai and let the big guy eat. She couldn't say that it was given by the shopkeeper, but that she bought it herself. This shocked Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo.
This box is full of the most high-end dim sum of Guixiangzhai, weighing two catties and hanging zero, and it costs two dollars of silver. In a family like Aunt Xia, she is usually reluctant to buy it, but she just buys one or two boxes for gifts during the New Year's holidays. To be honest, the dim sum box they bought for Old Man Xia during the Chinese New Year was far inferior to this.
Aunt Xia sighed secretly in her heart, she glanced at Uncle Guo, and then withdrew her gaze. Then she counted down the summer solstice: "Sixteen, you are here with your aunt, and you still treat your aunt and your uncle as outsiders!"
"Auntie, I don't. Xia Zhi immediately shouted injustice.
"Then tell me, why did you buy such an expensive snack and come back? There is another one, what is not in the kitchen? Just no, you want to use it, just say no to me. Why did you spend your own money to buy those old things and come back? Tell me, how many eggs did you buy alone? That's enough for us guys to eat for ten days and half a month. You still said you wouldn't go out with your aunt and uncle?"
After counting the summer solstice like this, Aunt Xia also turned her head and complained to Uncle Guo: "I went out to visit the door today, and I didn't see it at a glance." Sister-in-law Liu told me when I came back. Sixteen, this boy came back with several pounds of eggs, flour, sugar, and many other things. You're in the front shop, and you don't help to look at it. ”
Uncle Guo immediately laughed and said that he was negligent. He wasn't always in the shop, and he went out several times during the period, but he really didn't notice that Xia Solstice was going in and out to buy things. "If I had seen it, I wouldn't have stopped her. Then he complained with a smile about the summer solstice, "Sixteen, you are going to see your uncle here." Don't do it again!"
Then he also asked Xia Solstice how much he had spent and wanted to make up the money to her. "I heard from your aunt that your grandfather and grandmother gave you some money. It's for your own pocket money. ”
Xia Zhi naturally wouldn't say how much money he used, and he would never ask Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo to make up money for her.
"I just wanted to make some snacks for my aunt, uncle, brother Changsheng and pearls, and I bought them when I went out. Xia Zhi also smiled, saying that the dim sum box was her filial piety to her elders in advance during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the dim sum she made herself was also a little careful.
Aunt Xia thought about it and didn't say anything about Xia Zhi, she only told Xia Zhi that she would never do this again in the future. Uncle Guo also agreed, and while taking another piece of cake to eat, he praised Xia Zhi for his ability and ingenuity. He didn't touch the snack box. Aunt Xia put away the snack box and asked the big guy to eat only the cake made by the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi also agreed with a smile, and Aunt Xia didn't say anything. She and Changsheng also sincerely said that the dim sum made on the summer solstice was delicious. After eating a few pieces, it was rare for the pearl to say yes. Her eyes glanced at the snack box a few times, and her face became more and more happy.
Seeing the harmonious appearance of the family, Xia Zhi smiled slightly and took a piece of cake to eat.
Until eating, Aunt Xia didn't let people open a snack box. Because Pearl has seen it too many times, she also specially told her daughter that she has other arrangements for the box of snacks, so no one should worry about it. Although Pearl was favored by Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo, Aunt Xia spoke with a straight face, and she didn't dare not listen.
After eating, Aunt Xia called Xia Zhi aside to speak. Aunt Xia didn't ask explicitly, but cautiously, she secretly looked at Xia Zhi's face. Xia Zhi quickly understood that Aunt Xia was suspicious that someone in the family had said something unpleasant behind her back, which made her feel wronged, so she bought a dim sum box and made dim sum.
"Sixteen, your uncle is busy every day, and sometimes he doesn't talk distractedly. Your pearl girl is a little cautious. My aunt knows that you are a big-hearted child, and if there is anything, you have to look at my aunt. ”
Xia Zhi hurriedly smiled so that Aunt Xia didn't have to be suspicious, and then brought out Old Man Xia. "My father instructed me to come to my aunt's house as a guest, but I still have to have the proper courtesy. She meant to tell Aunt Xia that it wasn't because Uncle Guo and Pearl said something or gave her a look, it was completely arranged by Old Man Xia.
Aunt Xia understands Old Man Xia's temperament, and knows that he is really very likely to arrange it like this, and then seeing that Xia Zhi doesn't look like she is angry and aggrieved, she believes Xia Zhi's words.
"Your master, this person......" Aunt Xia sighed for a long time, and still told Xia Zhi not to do this again in the future. "How do you let my aunt live in her heart. ”
As for the box of dim sum that Xia Zhi said as a Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, Aunt Xia said: "You little girl, what kind of ceremony are you going." Your uncle and I must not ask for it, there is no reason for that. If you start a family in the future and are willing to associate with your aunt, no matter what you give, your aunt will definitely accept it. ”
What is said on the summer solstice can't be refuted. No matter what kind of temper Uncle Guo and Pearl have, Aunt Xia and Changsheng are both very good people.
Then Aunt Xia also asked Xia Zhi to send the dim sum box to Li Shanchang. "You don't know him, you go to see him, and he is willing to teach you and give you such a generous gift. We don't have anything in our hands, forget it, since we bought this box, we should send it over. What people are rare or not is our little heart. ”
These words also have the meaning of teaching the summer solstice people's sophistication, and the summer solstice naturally has to be listened to.
Aunt Xia saw that Xia Zhi was willing to be taught, she was also happy, and finally couldn't help counting Xia Zhi. "Sixteen, it's not my aunt who wants to talk about you. You're a bit lavish in spending your money. You and your uncle are really similar to this, no wonder you two are so good. ”
Xia Zhi just laughed, indicating that she would live within her means in the future. Then Aunt Xia asked Xia how much money was spent on the summer solstice snack box and how much was left in her hand, meaning that she would post some money for Xia Zhi.
Of course, Xia Zhi refused, only saying that he still had a lot of money left. "Auntie, my grandfather and my grandmother should have told you. I made some money, enough to spend. If I don't have any money, I'll ask you. ”
Aunt Xia had no choice but to give up, and she was actually relieved in her heart. She still has the final say at home, but she doesn't have much money in her hands. The money in this family is in the hands of Uncle Guo, and the family is one a month. Uncle Guo is all good, but the money is very tight. If she told Uncle Guo, she could still get the money, but she would inevitably have some tongues, and Uncle Guo would have to be awkward for a while.
The aunt and nephew talked for a long time, and they both felt that the other party was a good person, and they were emotionally close.
When Xia Solstice returned to Westinghouse, Pearl took out a handful of sheep and offered to play with her. Of course, the summer solstice said yes. The two little girls gossip casually, but they also had a good time.
Aunt Xia came over and took a look at the door, so she didn't go into the house to disturb the two, but walked back to the east room with a smile. Changsheng took the little black fish to his yard, and Uncle Guo was crooked on the kang and was closing his eyes to recuperate.
Aunt Xia also sat on the kang, doing needlework and talking to Uncle Guo at the same time.
“…… The old man is the most understanding of human feelings. This time I brought my two children back to stay for a few days, and the old man took out a bunch of money and gave it to Sixteen. The old man loves the two children, and he doesn't want to scratch us. ”
She told Uncle Guo a few times, and she had already said everything thoroughly.
Uncle Guo opened his eyes and said that Old Man Xia understands human feelings, and if he doesn't scrape them, he has to nod in agreement. "The old man is a good man and does not owe anyone. ”
"It's good that you understand. Sixteen is following her father's temperament in this. Aunt Xia raised her head and glanced at Uncle Guo.
The two have been married for many years, and they fully understand each other's tempers. Aunt Xia won't blame Uncle Guo, she just exposes him so that he doesn't have to be careful.
Uncle Guo smiled wryly. "Sixteen, this kid is quite sensible. I'm also quite rare for her and Xiaolong. ”
Aunt Xia stopped and talked about her arrangements for the dim sum box. Although Uncle Guo is a little stingy, he still has some affection for his daughter-in-law and his daughter-in-law's family. And he also thinks that the box of snacks is too valuable. Xia Zhi bought a lot of things and put them in the kitchen, and made delicious cakes for them to eat, and Uncle Guo was ironing in his heart. asked him to accept such a valuable snack box for his two children, and he couldn't help it.
Uncle Guo said that Aunt Xia's arrangement was very good. Aunt Xia is very good at dealing with people, and Uncle Guo admires her in this regard and is willing to listen to her.
After the matter was settled, Aunt Xia changed the topic with a smile. "We two children, eternal life is with me, and the nature of pearls is with you. ”
Uncle Guo smiled: "There is nothing about pearls, I think it's good." This kid is very picky, and it's up to you how you look. It would be bad if she followed me. ”
Aunt Xia couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The next day, Xia Zhi took the little black fish to visit Xishi Street again, this time they walked farther, and twice passed Guixiangzhai, she went in to take a look.
The efficiency of Guixiangzhai is very high, and on this day, Saqima was pushed out, placed in the most conspicuous place, and specially arranged for a young man to introduce to the guests who entered the shop. Xia Zhi didn't alarm the shopkeeper, so he took a look in the shop, and saw that Saqima was selling very well, so he was relieved. The old brand has a new dim sum, and it is also very exotic, and everyone is willing to buy it back and try it.
As for the final sales of this dim sum, it depends on how many repeat customers can be retained.
The summer solstice is confident in this.
Coming out of Guixiangzhai, the summer solstice will go back. When I passed the door of Gui Fang Zhai, I saw a few people standing at the door, all looking in the direction of Gui Xiang Zhai. One of them happened to turn around and walk towards the shop, and Xia Zhi saw his side face for a moment, and his heart suddenly moved.
That person seems to be a little familiar.
