Chapter 349: The Real Old Man

"It's okay, I'm not so tired when I get used to it."

Pouring himself a cup of hot tea, Ye Xiaoyu sat down opposite Wang Huaiqing.

"You think everyone is like you, Young Master Wang, I think it's good to be able to open a shop."

This kind of Wang Huaiqing made her feel a little familiar, didn't Ling Yu always be unable to understand why he was working so hard to embroider handkerchiefs?

In fact, Ye Xiaoyu feels that the life of the pastry shop is not as tiring as Wang Huaiqing said, since she asked the blacksmith on North Street to build an oven and oven, although there is still a little difference from the utensils in her previous life, but the matter of making cakes has obviously become simpler.

The most troublesome thing here is not making cakes or greeting customers in the shop, but the stove that burns the fire. There is no gas, no electricity, only the most primitive firewood, especially to use this primitive stove to make zuò pastries, which simply makes Ye Xiaoyu want to, but unfortunately there is no way, just like glass, no matter how much Ye Xiaoyu needs it, he can't make it by himself.

"Xiaoyu, what should I do about the third aunt?"

After Ye Xiaoyu finished greeting a wave of guests, Wang Huaiqing asked.

For the sake of his own face, Lin boasted in front of Wang Shouxin and his wife that he knew many people in the yamen, but the truth was that he didn't know any of them. But things are promised, what should I do?

"Huh?"

After a busy time, Ye Xiaoyu had already forgotten about it.

"Oh, you're talking about that, let's leave him alone for now, and when they get in a hurry, they will naturally come to you again."

The face of the couple. Ye Xiaoyu can be regarded as seeing through it. Like this kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and thinks that the whole world should help their good son, she plans to frustrate their spirit first.

Wang Huaiqing didn't know the people in the yamen, and Ye Xiaoyu didn't know either. The reason why she still has a little confidence in her heart is because Ye Xiaoyu remembered that the young master of the Zou family still owed her five taels of silver.

Thinking of this, he got angry, a good silver kettle with a beautiful shape, and he took it away like that, and asked him to lose money and procrastinate, bargain, and write a note. I even played disappearing. It didn't reappear for days. This is five taels of silver, which is almost a day's turnover of the shop, and Ye Xiaoyu feels that it is time to meet him.

"Do you know anyone in the Yamen?"

Wang Huaiqing asked again. He didn't have any of them.

"No, no. But do you remember the young master of the Zou family who owed me five taels of silver last time? ”

At that time, the IOU was written by Wang Huaiqing next to Zou Youheng, so he must have an impression.

"Are you thinking about ......?"

Wang Huaiqing asked with a surprised expression.

The matter at his third uncle's house was actually not too important. If you can't help, forget it. There's no need to run to tie up with the prefect's son for this.

"I'm mainly going to ask for silver."

Ye Xiaoyu blinked. Yun said lightly.

Cai's affairs, if you can help, you can help, and if you can't help, forget it. Anyway, the most important thing is. and his own money shall be brought back.

After several days of rain, the sun finally appeared in the sky, and while the sun was not too violent, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly carried a watering can to the door of the shop to water the flowers.

It is said that it is a flower, but in fact, it is all green plants, such as copper money grass, pothos, spider plant, etc., accounting for most of them, and the rest are prickly plums, longevity flowers and begonias, because they were all dug by Ye Xiaoyu himself on the small hill, so they are not noble varieties. However, with a good-looking flower pot, placed next to the stone steps at the entrance of the shop, small flowers decorated with green leaves, it has a unique flavor.

Suddenly, a carriage stopped diagonally across the street, although Rongzhou City was prosperous, it was still rare to see a luxurious carriage like this, so Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at it twice while watering the flowers.

The coachman jumped out of the carriage first, and then lifted the curtain, and the people inside began to peek out—

Just this glance, Ye Xiaoyu froze in place, and the watering can still maintained the tilt angle of watering the flowers, so the water flowed down the stone steps and wet the ground.

The sun was shining, and the luxurious and spacious carriage was parked diagonally opposite, and the man could see himself very quickly.

Ye Xiaoyu, who came back to his senses, quickly turned around and rushed into the shop as fast as he could.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

Wang Huaiqing, who was taking pastries for guests at the counter, was startled when he saw Ye Xiaoyu with a panicked face.

"Huaiqing, I'...... That ......"

Although he had thought of a lot of countermeasures before this, when it really happened, Ye Xiaoyu still couldn't stop panicking.

"Huaiqing, you help me watch the shop first, I'll go inside and squint for a while, don't call me no matter what happens, I'm too sleepy, I'm really sleepy......"

Forcing herself to calm down, Ye Xiaoyu pretended to be very sleepy, squinted her eyes, and yawned a lot by the way.

"Forehead ......"

Wang Huaiqing felt a little puzzled about Ye Xiaoyu's sudden sleepiness and a little panicked, but he didn't continue to ask, but nodded.

"Go ahead, remember to close the door of the inner room, and leave it to me here."

Seeing Wang Huaiqing say this, Ye Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly hid in the small kitchen, and then closed the door tightly.

Although she wasn't sure if the person just now would come to the shop, she hid for a while to be on the safe side.

"Ali, this shop is very special......"

Just when Ye Xiaoyu suspected that the person had gotten into the carriage and gone elsewhere, a familiar voice sounded in front of the shop.

The shop is small and has no soundproofing, so you can hear it clearly at the front door even at the back door.

In the ears where the familiar voice appeared again, Ye Xiaoyu's nervous heart was about to jump out. Because she was so nervous, she had to reach out and press her heart tightly to prevent her little heart from beating too fast.

"Is there anything I need help with, this guest officer?"

Wang Huaiqing's voice sounded, it was very good.

"Everything in your shop is very attractive......

Walking to the counter, Ling Yu said with a smile while watching.

He was wearing a white robe today, and his whole person was in good spirits.

"This ...... Did you make the little cake yourself? ”

After turning around, Ling Yu's gaze stopped at the baked golden cakes placed on the counter shelves.

This kind of thing seems familiar, and he still remembers the bag he threw on the side of the road in Quanxiu Village.

"Guest officer, you really have a vision, this little cake is our signature here, and it is very popular."

Wang Huaiqing still introduced with a smile on his face.

"There are many flavors, there are pure milk, red dates, matcha, and plain flavors, I don't know which one do you like?"

"Oh, there are so many flavors. I remember that I used to eat milky and red dates. ”

Ling Yu said with a smile. The latter sentence is like a self-talk stuck in memory.

"Is the guest going to pack up and take it away, or is he going to sit here for a while?"

Hurry up and tell him to pack and take it away, what else are you sitting on?

Ye Xiaoyu thought anxiously in the room. As long as Ling Yu is in the shop, she will always stay in this small kitchen.

"Sit down for a while."

Ling Yu's voice came, and Ye Xiaoyu wanted to hit the wall directly.

"If you have anything else special here, get me some......"

With that, Ling Yu walked over to a table and sat down.

When it was close to noon, there were not many customers in the shop, and in the small lobby, only Wang Huaiqing, who was busy at the counter, Ling Yu, who was sitting at the table, and Ali, the little servant opposite, were left.

"What is this?"

Staring at the milk tea that Wang Huaiqing brought to him, Ling Yu raised his head and asked.

"This is milk tea, you can taste it."

Wang Huaiqing originally wanted to introduce more, but he wanted this milk tea to be just a product of a mixture of milk and hot tea, and there was nothing special, so he didn't say much.

"Well, it tastes pretty good."

Bowing his head and taking a sip, Ling Yu said with satisfaction.

"Are the things in your shop a specialty of Rongzhou?"

As if remembering something, Ling Yu asked again.

"Well, no. The pastries in our shop were originally made from Western countries. They love milk and pasta, so most of the pastries in this shop have a milky aroma. ”

Wang Huaiqing remembered what Ye Xiaoyu had said to him before, so he truthfully repeated it.

Uh-

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoyu was a little depressed.

She remembered that when she was in Quanxiu Village before, she told Ling Yu that this little cake was a specialty of her hometown, although it also made sense, but she always felt that there were still some discrepancies. As long as Ling Yu went to Qingzhou Mansion, he understood that what Ye Xiaoyu said was a lie.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she really thought about it a lot, how could Ling Yu go to Qingzhou Mansion for this? I won't go until I'm full.

"Oh, someone told me before that it was a specialty of Qingzhou."

Taking a bite of the cake, Ling Yu had a smile in his eyes.

"Did you make all these things yourself?"

Ling Yu asked again.

Seems to want to be sure of something.

Wang Huaiqing didn't know why the guest in front of him insisted on asking this question, but no matter what the reason, he was a little difficult to answer. If someone else did it, then maybe this person would have asked him to tell who the man who made the pastry was, or even to meet him; If you say that you did it yourself, it is not true.

"Honestly, these pastries are—"

Ye Xiaoyu's panicked appearance just now suddenly came into Wang Huaiqing's mind, and when the words came to his lips, he temporarily changed his mind.

"I made all the pastries with my family."

Ye Xiaoyu in the middle also breathed a sigh of relief, she was very satisfied with Wang Huaiqing's answer, Ling Yu had seen the small cake made by Ye Xiaoyu, if there was someone else, Ye Xiaoyu was afraid that he would suspect it.

"Your craftsmanship is really good, this pastry is not only delicate in appearance, but also sweet but not greasy."

Ling Yu smiled, with a slight sense of loss in his tone.

It's also that he thinks too much, there are many similar things in the world, where can there be such a coincidence.

"If the guest officer likes it, it's fine."

A smile bloomed on Wang Huaiqing's face, this person is so difficult, he must thank Ye Xiaoyu for him later. (To be continued......)
