Chapter 12: Poisoning

Yang Jiali saw that Shen Yueran was about to move again, and his heart palpitated, so he ran in three steps and two steps.

At this time, there were already many onlookers, either hiding their faces and sneering, or pointing fingers.

"What are you seeing?! Those who buy bread come in, and those who don't buy bread go away! Shen Yueran was angry and shouted loudly.

It was these spectators who only knew how to watch the excitement and didn't know how to lend a hand, which made Yang Jiali's scoundrels more and more rampant.

Thinking of the Mei family and Mei Caiyu's forbearance in the face of such scoundrels, she was even more angry.

When the people saw her so fierce, who would dare to come to the door to buy bread? A few people who came to smell the fragrance also turned around and avoided it.

Shen Yueran snorted, threw the broom aside, and turned around and walked into the cake shop.

There were two intact shortbreads lying on the ground, and a torn oil-paper bag.

On the first day of opening, I met this kind of person!

Angry and helpless, she bent down and picked up the cake.

As soon as his finger touched the shortbread, his lowered gaze caught a glimpse of the corner of the royal blue brocade robe.

He's really coming to the door again!

Shen Yueran grabbed the shortbread, straightened up and threw it at the visitor.

"Stinky scoundrel, dare to come, stoning you!"

When her eyes gathered and the figure first appeared, she couldn't help but let out an "ah".

The person who came was a man in a royal blue brocade robe, but it was not Yang Jiali.

The man wore a white jade water-patterned hairpin on his head, wrapped in pine and cypress green around his waist, wrapped in gold thread silk, stepped on dark riding boots, and grabbed the shortbread thrown by Shen Yueran with his right hand, which was a little inexplicable.

"Ahem, ahem." Shen Yueran coughed dryly, stretched out her head to look out of the door, and made sure that he was not sent by Yang Jiali, so she got plastic surgery, walked behind the counter, and greeted stiffly, "Buy shortbread?" ”

The man didn't respond immediately, looked at the shortbread in his hand, and sniffed it closer.

"Isn't this Mei's shortbread?" The man asked.

The face is like a crown of jade, the clothes are gorgeous, the voice is calm, the posture is upright, and the expression is calm.

Shen Yueran looked the man up and down, and the words "noble son" suddenly popped out of her mind.

She had never seen this person in Wenchi County, not who the noble son from other places in Mei Caiyu's mouth was.

However, today is not the tenth day of the eighth month, and now is not the time of day, and he did not come on a white horse.

Is it or not?

Shen Yueran couldn't get it for sure.

"Isn't this Mei's shortbread?" The man took a step closer and repeated the question.

"Yes-no-" Shen Yueran said.

It is said that it is Mei's shortbread, which is completely different from Mei's shortbread. It's not Mei's shortbread, it's made in Mei's cake shop.

The man frowned, "Is it really?" ”

Shen Yueran glared, "It doesn't matter whose family it is, do you want to buy cakes?" ”

The man nodded, "Trouble packing thirty." ”

Thirty? Not twenty? If you don't specify what you want to stuff with bean paste, that's not it.

Shen Yueran breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the chopsticks, and neatly picked up the shortbread one by one and put them into an oiled paper bag.

No more, no less, just thirty in one furnace.

As soon as he accepted the money, a small head stuck out of the counter.

"Sister, bring me ten shortbreads."

Shen Yueran raised her eyes, a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, combed two braids, although there were many black stains on her face, she was well-behaved.

"No, I don't." She replied, then handed the man the packed shortbread.

The little girl was a little disappointed and watched as the man took the shortbread.

"None of them? It smells so good, so it's good to taste it. The little girl begged.

Shen Yueran smiled, "There is no one." ”

Seeing the man raise his feet and step out of the cake shop, the little girl's eyes were red, and she sat on the ground and cried loudly.

"I'm useless, woo, I can't even buy a shortbread...... If Miss had known, she would have whipped my ass......" said the little girl, crying.

The girl's crying made Shen Yueran's heart go up and down.

She walked out of the counter, pulled the girl up and said, "Don't cry yet, sister, let's make another stove, can you wait for half an hour?" ”

Instead of being quiet, the girl cried even louder.

"Woo, Mademoiselle only gave me a quarter of an hour, saying that she couldn't buy shortbread, so she rewarded me with ten whips...... I'm going to eat these ten whips now......"

Whose young lady is so domineering? Shen Yueran said hatefully.

"Don't cry, don't cry." She couldn't see the child crying. She thought for a moment and said, "You wait a while, my sister will come when she goes." ”

After saying that, she ran out of the cake shop, and the man did not go far.

"Childe, stay." Shen Yueran shouted loudly and hurried to catch up.

It was sunset, the sky was full of light, and the man stopped and stood against the light.

Shen Yueran was sweating profusely, and said urgently, "That girl is someone else's girl, and if she can't bring back the shortbread, she has to eat the master's whip." Can you give her ten first, and I'll redo one right away—eight, well, five!" Five is okay? After it is done, a total of fifteen will be sent to the son's house immediately, and the matter of the son will never be missed. ”

Shen Yueran got straight to the point.

The man was tall, and the glow shone from behind him, making it difficult for her to see his expression for a moment.

Exchange fifteen of the second furnace for ten of the first furnace, but wait, will he agree?

Shen Yueran was nervous.

The man seemed to think about it, looked at the burning clouds in the sky, and said, "You don't need to send it, I'll just wait." ”

Shen Yueran was overjoyed.

The two returned to the cake shop one after the other, and the girl was still leaning against the counter and sobbing.

After Shen Yueran packed ten shortbreads and handed them to the girl, she politely handed the man a small table.

The girl left happily, Shen Yueran began to move, and the man did not sit down, standing in the ventilated place of the threshold with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky for a while, and looking at her who was busy for a while.

The second furnace was much faster than expected, and in less than half an hour, thirty shortbreads were already baked, and she was drenched in sweat.

She took the shortbread from the lattice one by one, dried it, packed it and handed it to the man.

"This is not Mei's shortbread." The man who witnessed the whole process of making the cake took the shortbread and said in a positive tone.

Shen Yueran smiled, noncommittal, "It's delicious." ”

The man said no more, picked up the shortbread, and walked out of the cake shop with his feet raised again.

"Suddenly", a figure flew in, the man turned sideways quickly, and the figure fell to the ground with a thud.

"Sister, this shortbread is poisonous, why do you want to harm me?!" The little girl who had just come out of the cake shop held up the shortbread in her hand and shouted.

******

Poisonous?!

Shen Yueran was startled and hurriedly walked out from behind the counter.

The man also looked surprised, he crouched down and squinted at the shortbread in the girl's hand, and the dough was indeed stained with white powder.

He carefully dipped some of the white powder on the tip of his finger, and the white powder took on the shape of a crystal against the red glow, and emitted a terrifying glow.

"Arsenic." The man stood up, his face was like frost, and looked at Shen Yueran.

Arsenic?! Shen Yueran froze in place.

How could there be arsenic on her?

She was going to sell bread to make money, so how could she put arsenic on it?

In this way, how will she sell cakes in the future?

No way!

When pigs fly!

There must be a mistake!
