"Little brother, give me two ...... of this fruit pastry"

"What's that, uh, double skin milk still there? Give me three bowls. ”

The people waiting at the counter began to order impatiently.

"Huaiqing, you can help me get this ......"

Ye Xiaoyu pointed to the young master of the Zou family standing in front of the counter, and said helplessly. The customer began to order, and she had no time to bother with it.

Fruit tarts and cakes are ready-made and relatively simple. The trouble is the double skin milk.

Although Ye Xiaoyu had already made more than a dozen small bowls of pure double-skin milk in the morning, she was in a hurry just by adding ingredients.

In fact, because the double skin milk is boiled with milk's eggs, it is very easy to spoil. For this, Ye Xiaoyu would go to the market every day and spend a lot of money to buy some ice cubes, put them in a wooden box, and then wrap them tightly in a thick quilt outside, put the finished double skin milk inside, and chill them with ice.

Thinking about what she did for this shop, Ye Xiaoyu sometimes admires herself a little.

Waiting for Ye Xiaoyu's double-skinned milk to be served, Zou Youheng's note was also written.

"You sign it again."

Looking at Zou Youheng, Wang Huaiqing said lightly.

This look inexplicably made him feel like a person who specializes in helping underground money banks to lend usury.

"I'll give it back to you in two days."

Zou Youheng said that he was about to walk out of the shop.

It's such a shame today, and he doesn't want to lose face here for a moment.

"Aren't you buying pastries?"

Ye Xiaoyu was taking a small cake to the guest at the counter, and saw Zou Youheng hurrying out. Suddenly I remembered that he seemed to say that he wanted to buy something.

"I'll buy it later."

Zou Youheng replied, and did not stop walking out.

He was going to buy tea cakes first, go out to breathe in by the way, and then come back to buy pastries.

"This thing is really an oolong ......"

When there were fewer customers in the shop, Wang Huaiqing said with a smile.

"Not really. I lost a teapot for nothing. ”

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu was inexplicably angry, and next time, even if the deposit was more, she would not let the guests take away the tableware in the shop.

"But looking at his sad face just now, it doesn't look like he's pretending."

Wang Huaiqing helped bring the small plates with cakes on the other tables to the inside. Said as he walked.

Ye Xiaoyu pouted. Didn't speak. Even if what the young master of the Zou family said just now was true, it was a real thing that she lost a pot.

"Don't think about it anymore. How about having you dinner in the evening? ”

Coming out of the room, Wang Huaiqing looked at Ye Xiaoyu with a bright smile.

"Okay, since the eldest young master Wang has made a move. Then I'll reluctantly agree. ”

Ye Xiaoyu also laughed.

*

Pedestrians on the street pass by in twos and threes. The flowers and plants in front of the door are growing just right. Ye Xiaoyu tilted her head to look at the pot of mint on the counter, and suddenly her heart became inexplicably cool.

Since opening the dessert shop, her sleep time has become shorter and shorter. It's already autumn. The weather is getting cooler day by day, and the Western-style pastries are not as unchecked as before, in order to increase turnover and make more money, Ye Xiaoyu postponed the opening hours of the shop to almost midnight, that is, nine o'clock. In fact, Ye Xiaoyu is not proficient in the timekeeping method of this period at all, and the reason why she can distinguish the specific moment is because she bought an hourglass and put it in the shop, because the total amount of sand in the hourglass is fixed, and then calculated according to the twelve hours a day, Ye Xiaoyu can easily get the specific time.

In her previous life, Ye Xiaoyu never thought about anything else except studying and learning, and when she came here, she found that her brain could be used so well. Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel proud.

Walking in the noisy market with a basket, Ye Xiaoyu looked left and right, and didn't know what to buy at all. Today's share of the pastries has all been out of the pot, she is here now, she wants to buy some vegetables, improve her food, you must know that since the opening of the shop, in order to save money, but also for convenience, except for a few times to eat out for dinner, the rest of the time is in the shop to rely on these desserts. At first, it was okay for a day or two, but in the long run, Ye Xiaoyu felt that a lot of sugar had accumulated on her tongue, and if she didn't eat anything salty, her sense of taste would probably not be preserved.

"Don't buy it first, hurry up and take a look at the ......"

"The ...... of a large team"

Ye Xiaoyu had just finished buying ribs and a roast chicken, and was about to go to the dry goods store to buy some tea tree mushrooms, but she almost bumped into the crowd running forward.

"Huh? Auntie, I want to ask...... This little brother ......"

Standing on the side of the street, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't stop someone to ask, and everyone hurriedly walked forward.

This is East Street, although it is not close to the city gate, but it is the closest place outside the city, these people keep walking forward, could it be that there are some important people coming today?

Seeing that the owner of the dry goods store also looked forward, Ye Xiaoyu decided not to buy tea tree mushrooms for the time being, and went to the front to see what was going on.

The streets of the first half of East Street were already full of people, and the second floors of the teahouses and taverns along the street were also full of people, black and pressing, giving Ye Xiaoyu the illusion that someone was about to be beheaded for public display.

Ye Xiaoyu is tall, but she is not so outrageously tall, she struggled in the crowd for a long time, and she still couldn't squeeze into the airtight human wall. Because she was afraid that the ribs and roast chicken in the basket would be taken away, Ye Xiaoyu simply gave up, continued to walk back, and found a place with relatively few people in the second half of East Street and stopped.

"Who the hell is coming?"

Ye Xiaoyu turned his head and asked the person standing next to him.

"It's said to be someone from the capital, but I don't know who it is. However, the pomp and circumstance are very large, and the people who live in the periphery have already seen it, but the team has not yet arrived in the city. ”

The person next to him said, and stood outside again, for fear that he would not be able to see it.

People in the capital?

Thinking about which official was going to come here to observe the people's feelings, Ye Xiaoyu's interest suddenly disappeared by half.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the crowd, followed by a noise of gongs and drums. Ye Xiaoyu poked her head out and looked outside, and a long line appeared in the middle of the dense crowd.

"How big an official should this battle be?"

Someone next to him said.

"It's not an official, but it's not much worse than an official."

Someone answered.

"This person is the eldest son of the richest man in Yuejing, didn't we have a fake here before, this is true. This time, I heard that I came to identify the fake ...... on the spot."

No matter what period it is, there are always a few people in the crowd who know things very clearly, and then enthusiastically answer to the people around who don't know, before this moment, Ye Xiaoyu likes such insiders very much, but since she heard the words "the richest man in Yuejing", she didn't know what this person said later.

Yes, how could Ye Xiaoyu not think that the fake Ling Yu last time didn't he admit that he was fake? Last time, she went to the yamen to inquire about the news, and the official also told her that she had already sent a letter to the capital, so that the real one could come down to confirm. Because it has been too long, Ye Xiaoyu was busy with her own shop, and she forgot about it completely.

Although with so many onlookers, Ling Yu's probability of finding himself was very small, Ye Xiaoyu still subconsciously retreated to the back of the crowd.

Not knowing how long Ling Yu would stay here, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she might need to find a place to avoid the limelight. But after thinking about it, she gave up on the idea. First of all, she has subleased the house in the North District, and there is no place to shelter from the limelight; Secondly, she still has a shop business to do, if Ling Yu plays in Rongzhou City for a month or two, or even half a year and a year, is it possible that she will close the shop for so long?

Ye Xiaoyu felt that her temples began to jump abruptly again. It's just a small case of impersonation fraud, as for the fact that I have traveled thousands of miles to confirm it in person? Zou Yu's approach this time is simply a big fuss.

The sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, but Ye Xiaoyu didn't bother to watch anymore.

If the person who came was really Ling Yu, then she had to find a way to hide herself, and she must not let him meet her, although it was nothing if she was discovered, but Ye Xiaoyu really didn't want to have anything to do with the people and things in Yuejing from the bottom of her heart.

The gongs and drums beat and beat, and finally stopped in front of one of the most luxurious inns in Rongzhou City. That inn is not far from the teahouse where Ye Xiaoyu used to be a partner, and the entire inn has been chartered. But it was surrounded by people, and it was difficult for pedestrians to get through.

Ye Xiaoyu carried the basket and stood far away, as the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, she knew that Ling Yu and his party had gone upstairs, there were too many people around, she didn't see Ling Yu, and she couldn't confirm whether he had come to Rongzhou, but since he came to the yamen to identify, he should have come, right?

"Boss, give me two creamy cakes......"

There are customers who come to the shop to order.

"Huh? Good. ”

Ever since he knew that Ling Yu had come to Rongzhou, Ye Xiaoyu had been out of state all morning.

As long as there were guests who came to buy something, her heart twitched, for fear that Ling Yu's face would suddenly pop out in front of her eyes. Ye Xiaoyu felt that he couldn't continue like this, otherwise, Ling Yu hadn't seen it yet, and he would have had a heart attack before he went to see King Yama.

The reason why she has such worries is because she still knows Ling Yu well. When you come to Rongzhou City, even if it is for "business", you will definitely come out to take a stroll and see the cultural landscape here, and Ye Xiaoyu's shop is so special, there is a high probability that it will become the "landscape" recommended to him by others, even if no one recommends it, this shop is next to West Street, with its unique appearance, it is easy to attract Ling Yu's attention. It is precisely because of this that Ye Xiaoyu is so restless. (To be continued......)
