Ye Tingyao looked back at the empty alley with Mo Qi, and said in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

Mo Qi looked as usual, "It's okay, it's probably a cat running over." ”

Before arriving at the shop, the proprietor first opened the side lock, and then ordered the servant to remove all the baffles.

Ye Tingyao entered the shop only to find that the shop has two floors, up and down, left and right to take a closer look, Ye Tingyao is very satisfied with the layout of the shop, although it is in the corner, it is very square.

The first floor is used for the store and kitchen, and the second floor can be made into a small tea room, for the leisure and shopping tired guests to rest, drink tea and eat snacks, this corner of the corner, enjoy the scenery is the best.

Ye Tingyao chattered with Mo Qi about her ideas.

Mo Qi didn't say a word with a cold face, but the owner who was listening to it laughed and praised, "The girl looks like a businessman, and the business will definitely be prosperous when the pastry shop opens in the future." The old man is a good tea ceremony, if the girl's tea is cooked well, the old man will be a frequent customer of the girl's shop in the future. ”

"Yo, if the big proprietor has good tea, then you must get it. If I really want to compare, my tea ceremony skills can rank in the top ten of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Ye Tingyao didn't breathe when she boasted about herself, but she was also telling the truth, because her tea-making skills were really good, and she could be said to have entered the Tao with tea, and her Taoism was very profound.

"You don't even need to write a manuscript to brag." Mo Qi muttered softly.

No matter how whispering it was, it was heard by Ye Tingyao. Mo Qi hissed and inhaled a cool breath, it was really the most poisonous woman's heart, and there must be another bruise on his back.

Mo Qi turned his head and glared at Ye Tingyao angrily, but the beauty still smiled harmlessly.

The proprietor stroked his short beard thoughtfully, "The girl is still young, if she really has that level, it will be amazing, I wonder if the girl's pastry chef can be invited?" ”

Ye Tingyao patted her chest, "Where to please, I am the pastry chef." After speaking, he didn't forget to add, "This is the best in the world." ”

Talking about Mo Qi, the owner was speechless, before the relationship, the little girl said that she was still modest in the top ten tea ceremony, and the pastries were the first in the world.

The proprietor muttered in his heart, these two children don't look like the owner who has no money and no land to spend, so why don't they come here to rent a shop to play?

Ye Tingyao saw that the owner didn't believe her, so she hurriedly took out the pastries she had made early in the morning and prepared to eat on the road. Hold it to the owner and insist on asking the owner to taste two pieces.

The owner was a little embarrassed, in fact, he was not good at sweets, so he had no choice but to be gracious, so he finally picked the smallest piece of lotus lotus flour cake.

It was extremely reluctant, but I didn't want to bite into it, and a fragrance overflowed...... The owner's eyes are shining, this lotus root flour cake is neither too sweet nor powdery and dry, slowly melting between the lips and teeth, and there is still a sweet and elegant fragrance of winter lotus root in the mouth after swallowing.

In terms of pastries alone, it can be called the first in the world, the owner ate the second bite in a row, and before he finished eating a piece of cake, he gave Ye Tingyao a thumbs up, which made Ye Tingyao proud.

It's time to chat, the pastries are also eaten, and the owner and Ye Tingyao finally talked about business, about the monthly rent of this shop.

Ye Tingyao's heart was pounding, the shop was on the side of Nanshi Street, commonly known as the prime location, and it was also two floors, and twenty taels a month was indispensable.

The proprietor thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, there were still people who wanted to rent my shop before. ”

Ye Tingyao's face was a little bad, and when the emotional owner saw that she liked it, he wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price.

Seeing Ye Tingyao's depressed appearance, the owner was quite satisfied, and continued, "But they want to do the underworld business, of course I don't want to, no matter how high the price is." Otherwise, I won't be able to rent this shop in the future......"

Ye Tingyao raised her head, her eyes flashing with starlight.

The proprietor finally stopped selling Guanzi, and finished his words in one breath, "Originally, I set the rent of this shop for a month to be twenty taels of silver, but now I feel that I have a relationship with your brothers and sisters, and the pastries made by the girl are indeed extraordinary, and I will often come to drink tea and buy snacks in the future." Therefore, I will charge you ten taels of silver for the rent in January, but you still have to pay two months in advance, I don't know if the little girl thinks it is feasible? ”

The rent was reduced by half in a blink of an eye, and Ye Tingyao almost jumped up with joy.

And Mo Qi, who was silent for a long time and was thinking about how to bargain in his heart, looked at the owner a few more times, and his eyes also carried a trace of gratitude.

"Big brother of the owner, thank you so much, when the store opens, as long as I research a new type of dim sum, I will definitely send you a copy to try first." Ye Tingyao hurriedly began to stutter.

"Okay, okay, old man, I will have a good fortune in the future, and I have brought the lease papers. You and your brother take a look, if there is no problem, press the handprint, this shop will be rented to you from tomorrow, and the rent will be calculated from next month. "The owner also likes to see a cheerful little girl like Ye Tingyao, he has a lot of property under his name, and there is no shortage of rent for this shop.

After signing the paperwork, Mo Qi silently took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the owner, and by the way, he took the key to the big copper lock of the shop, and a few people exchanged a few words, and the owner said goodbye and left first.

Seeing off the owner, Ye Tingyao also ran up and down excitedly and looked at it carefully, she couldn't be more satisfied.

Mo Qi looked at Ye Tingyao, who was so excited that she almost forgot who she was, and couldn't help but splash a basin of cold water to wake her up, "Mo Yao, Lianzhou Chengnan City is some distance away from Lizhuang, do you plan to ask a carriage to go back and forth every day, or rent a room in the city, or simply sleep in the shop." ”

Ye Tingyao was stunned, she really hadn't thought about this, it seemed that it was not easy to do something.

"Go home and discuss it with Uncle Mo, it's really not possible, and you can only live in the city temporarily." Ye Tingyao finally returned to normal, and when she thought that she could no longer live in the fence village, she might have to be separated from Uncle Mo, Aunt Mo, Dongzi, and Xiaohulu, and her excitement was reduced by half, and her feelings were also a lot lower, and she said in a deep voice, "The shop must be opened first, and there are still many things to prepare, let's take it step by step." ”

Mo Qi saw that Ye Tingyao was lost, and he was a little unbearable, "Okay, let's go back first today, so that Uncle Mo can come and take a look, and when the business of the shop is good, I will ask Dongzi and them to help with a lot of money." ”

Ye Tingyao nodded heavily, walked out of the shop, and closed the wooden door with Mo Qi.

The two of them walked around the South Market casually, and Ye Tingyao bought some nuts by the way and went back to make shortbread.

Walking to the entrance of the south market, the two were about to take the carriage back to the fence village, when they suddenly saw the people everywhere making a noise.

Ye Tingyao arrested people and inquired, only to know that there was a murder case in a dark alley in Nanshi, and the dead person was still a guard in the yamen, the news had spread, and the official government had sent people over.

Although this matter had nothing to do with Mo Qi and her, for some reason, she was faintly uneasy in her heart, glanced at Mo Qi in panic, and pinched the corners of her clothes nervously.

Mo Qi glanced in the direction of the crowd, grabbed Ye Tingyao's hand, frowned and said, "Let's go back to Lizhuang......"
