Chapter 414: Honesty
"Which pastry shops are you going to work with?"
Zou Yu continued to ask.
"Dad, I think so. Since we have to do it, we have to spend money, so we have to do it more exquisitely. If it is an ordinary pastry, the common people eat it every year, there is nothing special for a long time, and everyone's interest will not be too high. But if it's something special, just out of the picture, and many people haven't eaten it, the effect is different. So I plan to cooperate with Ye Kee, her pastries, both in appearance and taste, are very special. β
Looking up at Zou Yu, Zou Youheng said seriously.
He really admired himself a little, at this time, he didn't forget to pull business for Ye Xiaoyu.
"Ye Ji pastry shop, is that what kind of cake does it make?"
Wu also remembered.
She once saw that family's pastries in Tian Yuyan's house, and they looked really good.
"Yes, she opened two in the city, because the things are novel and the prices are not cheap, but the more this is the case, the more sought after by many people......"
Zou Youheng continued.
After finishing speaking, he regretted it a little, because Tian Yuyan had been eating this all day long, so didn't he sue the Wu family for his excessive daily expenses?
glanced up at Wu, and sure enough, he found a strange look in her eyes.
"Heng'er, if the price is not cheap, although it is for the people, if you spend too much money, you have to report it."
Wu said.
Although the state treasury regularly allocates some money to local finances, every expenditure must be recorded in detail, if it exceeds a certain amount. It also has to be reported layer by layer.
"Don't worry about this mother, I also have some friendship with the owner of this shop, and we have set so many quantities, the price will definitely not be too expensive."
Zou Youheng began to pack tickets.
"Dad, you see, is my method feasible?"
Zou Yu hadn't spoken since just now, but based on his understanding of him, Zou Youheng knew that this was almost the meaning of agreeing.
"You go and get in touch first, and then come to me after you make the whole plan."
Zou Yu still didn't have any expression on his face.
"Okay Dad, I'll do it right away."
Zou Youheng breathed a sigh of relief. In order to settle the misunderstanding of the Zou family in the city. He's going to have to get the news out tonight. However, before releasing the news, you still have to discuss it with Ye Xiaoyu first.
*
Looking at the two people who were pitying on the other not far away, Ye Xiaoyu was full of depression.
Tonight's meal, how hard it is to eat it. If it weren't for Wang Huaiqing. She wanted to leave early in the middle of the process.
The mood is so depressed. It's not because Tian Yuyun is here. It's because of the inexplicable atmosphere between the three of them. Awkwardness is not like embarrassment, harmony is not like harmony, and mutual accommodation is not like mutual accommodation. In short, it's too weird to work.
I wish I had a table tonight. Don't affect the cake business between her and Tian Yuyan.
"Gone."
After hiring a carriage and sending Tian Yuyun away, Wang Huaiqing walked over quickly.
Ye Xiaoyu didn't speak, and silently followed behind him.
"It's a good dish tonight, isn't it?"
Wang Huaiqing in front had nothing to say.
"Well, it's because it's so delicious, so I eat too much, and now I'm holding it up."
Ye Xiaoyu wouldn't say that she was holding it up now because she didn't know what to do at the table just now except for eating violently.
"Just take a walk. From here to your house, no matter how much you hold on, you can digest it. β
Wang Huaiqing said with a smile.
Ye Xiaoyu also smiled, but did not continue.
The two of them walked in the empty street, one after the other, silent all the way, each thinking about things.
"Xiaoyu, that jade pendant ......"
Walking to the door of the shop, Wang Huaiqing finally asked about the things that had been tangled all the way.
"Huh?"
Ye Xiaoyu lowered her head and laughed dryly.
The man finally asked the question.
"Someone gave it to me."
After a long pause, Ye Xiaoyu said.
Perhaps, it's time to tell Wang Huaiqing about this.
"Someone gave it to you? Who gave it to you? β
Wang Huaiqing, who was still light and breezy just now, suddenly became excited because of Ye Xiaoyu's words.
"Six years ago, on the way to Yuejing, there was a young man dressed in white. Now that I think about it, it shouldn't have been given to me, but he accidentally dropped it. β
Ye Xiaoyu looked down at the gravel under her feet and said softly.
It's been six years, and the boy in white who once only appeared in a dream has finally become a flesh-and-blood person in his life, but now that I think about it, I don't know why it's so sad.
"You ......"
Wang Huaiqing was speechless.
He always remembered what happened six years ago, and this jade pendant was also deliberately placed in the package given to him because he was worried that the child would not be entangled enough, but now, he couldn't connect such a tall Ye Xiaoyu with that child.
"I remember you."
Ye Xiaoyu raised his head suddenly, just in time for Wang Huaiqing's gaze.
"I recognized you the first time I saw you, but you didn't seem to remember me at all, which made me think I was wrong......"
"I ...... I...... You don't look like the kid I remembered...... He was skinny and small, just a child. β
Wang Huaiqing narrowed his eyes, as if he was caught in a memory.
"Yes, I was not only skinny at the time, but my face was covered in mud, and you couldn't see me as I was."
Ye Xiaoyu laughed.
"At that time, I went from Qingzhou Mansion to Yuejing to join relatives, begging all the way, and when I met you, I hadn't eaten for several days. Seeing Yan Ming's roast chicken and buns on the stone, I thought it was a hallucination caused by my hunger. β
Seeing that Wang Huaiqing still didn't believe it, Ye Xiaoyu decided to tell the details at that time.
"Actually, it's funny to think about it now, I was treated as a thief by Yan Ming because I stole your food, I didn't have the strength at the time, and I was pushed by him like that, and I fell directly to the ground. And then. The young man dressed in white appeared on a white horse as if he had fallen from the sky......"
Ye Xiaoyu simply finished speaking in one breath.
She didn't feel sensational, nor did she feel exaggerated. All the descriptions and emotions in these words were her most genuine and intuitive feelings at that time.
ββ¦β¦β
As soon as the words fell, Ye Xiaoyu was pulled into a warm embrace by a force, and this sudden hug made all the blood in her body from head to toe coagulate.
Wang Huaiqing hugged her like this and stood on the side of the street in the middle of the night in Rongzhou City.
"It's really you. I was worried about you for a long time, because you looked so young at the time. I've been regretting it. A ...... that should have given you a ride instead of giving you a package and leaving you alone."
Holding Ye Xiaoyu, Wang Huaiqing said softly.
"It's great to see you again."
Thinking about what I had feared the most didn't come up. Wang Huaiqing breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Xiaoyu was so small back then. He was always afraid of meeting people with bad intentions.
"Ahemβ"
A sudden coughing sound sounded next to him. The two who were hugging were startled.
"I saidβwe've already arrived at the shop, and if you two want to do something, it's not a step or two away."
Zou Youheng's voice floated into the ears of the two.
Ye Xiaoyu pouted. I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I haven't seen him for more than a year, but this person's temperament hasn't changed at all.
"Hey, I mean, how long are you two going to stay in this position? Would you like to think about me as a bachelor?! β
Seeing that Wang Huaiqing was still holding Ye Xiaoyu, Zou Youheng said angrily.
After being said like this, Wang Huaiqing realized it, and quickly took away the hand that was still on Ye Xiaoyu's shoulder.
"Youheng is really a coincidence, we met again."
Remembering that the two of them had just met in Yipinxuan in the afternoon, Wang Huaiqing said.
"It's not a coincidence, I have something to look for Ye Xiaoyu, but I really didn't expect to see you here."
Zou Youheng looked playful.
These two people hugged so forgetful just now, could it be that this Wang Huaiqing already knew that Ye Xiaoyu was a woman?
But more than a year is enough for them to have feelings for each other.
"You're looking for me?"
After slowing down for so long, Ye Xiaoyu came back to his senses from the hug just now.
"Yes, but don't worry, it's a complete and complete thing."
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu's vigilant look, Zou Youheng added with a smile. Isn't it the five taels of silver before? How come it has been so long that this person still doesn't believe in himself so much.
"It's windy outside, Xiaoyu, you're not just getting better from the cold, let's go in and talk."
The three of them stood on the side of the road, looking a little abrupt, and the eyes of the occasional pedestrian would always glance this way. This made Wang Huaiqing a little uncomfortable.
"Ye Xiaoyu, you have a cold?!"
Taking advantage of Ye Xiaoyu's opening of the lock, Zou Youheng asked.
"Hmm. But I can't die for the time being. β
The door squeaked open, and Ye Xiaoyu walked in.
"Then I have to stand away from you, lest I catch the cold......
Zou Youheng said, and really leaned to the side symbolically.
"You can get out now, I didn't call you."
Ye Xiaoyu glared at him fiercely.
"You two sit down first, I'll go boil some hot water."
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu pour the cold tea into his cup as soon as he sat down, Wang Huaiqing walked to the kitchen.
"Huh? I'll just do it, that ......"
Ye Xiaoyu wanted to stop it. Wang Huaiqing is also a young master, how can he let him boil water? Although he had done it before, he was lying in bed with a cold at that time, and now that he is fine, he should not be allowed to do this kind of chores again.
"Just sit down, I'll just boil the water."
Wang Huaiqing walked inside involuntarily.
"You two...... Is this cohabitation? β
Zou Youheng's eyes followed Wang Huaiqing into the kitchen, and then he turned his head to look at Ye Xiaoyu and asked.
"Poofβ"
Ye Xiaoyu, who was pouring tea into his mouth, suddenly squirted out a mouthful of water.
"Tsk......"
The splash of water made Zou Youheng, who was sitting opposite, not spared. He was sprayed all over by Ye Xiaoyu, and at this time he took a handkerchief with a disgusted face and wiped it vigorously. (To be continued......)
