"For the sake of today's plan, it is indeed inappropriate for you to boldly reveal your identity again, but it is not easy for you to come all the way to avoid the assassination of your stepmother and second uncle, and you will have to change your identity in the future to ensure the safety of your future life."

Lin Aqi's voice was crisp, and Xie Ai listened to it like a pot of clear spring poured into it, and his mind gradually calmed down.

"But where do I find my new hukou status? The second uncle kicked me out of the house, I was already white, a person of unknown origin, how could the government help me find another way to register and make a record? ”

"Well, it's easy."

Lin Archie smiled.

Qi Feng stared at the letter in Yunqi's hand, and didn't answer slightly: "What did Lin Aqi write, I haven't finished reading it for so long?" ”

Yunqi waved lightly, and Qi Feng grabbed the paper and turned it over: "She wants us to help Miss Xie." ”

Yun nodded his head: "In your opinion, why should this king help her?" ”

"I'm afraid, Lin Aqi has already thought of a countermeasure, but I just need your identity to use."

"This girl is looking for me to work every day." Yunqi shook his head and smiled, his eyes full of unresolvable pride.

"Just to keep him from being idle! I'm developing a new thing, won't he have a share of it at that time? Two girls sat opposite each other in the courtyard, both of them kneading a large ball of white dough in their hands, and the little lackeys were jumping and running around, chasing a big hen in the corner of the courtyard to play, causing a "clucking" sound, and the whole yard was lively and jubilant.

Xie Ai's hand is fine, after inviting a bone doctor to recuperate, there is no problem with daily activities, just take more cultivation and medicine.

"How did you meet King Ming? I accompanied my father into the palace when I was a child, and I saw him once, at that time, the prince was still a prince, and his personality was very good. ”

"Good?" Lin Archie glared, "Why do you use such words to describe him!" ”

The girl's mind showed the appearance of a gentle and well-behaved little boy pestering the emperor to beg for pocket money, and she couldn't help laughing.

"He's not well-behaved at all, how can someone who has been on the battlefield be well-behaved?"

"He fought?" Xie Ai was a little surprised, "I haven't been in contact with the palace for a long time, and I don't know much about what happened to many people." ”

"In short, the current King Ming is the cold prince that everyone fears, but he is still quite cute in private." Saying that, she sighed inexplicably, "I don't know if I can see him in the future, if you can return to the Xie family, you will definitely have the opportunity to enter the palace again for a banquet, and maybe you will be able to see him again when the time comes." ”

"What do I see him doing? It's you, you haven't said how you know the prince. ”

"Well, it's very simple, I saved his life, and he regarded me as a benefactor, so he knew me naturally."

"It's a coincidence that things in this world are going around and around."

"Yes, yes, I also went to Beijing with him to play for a while, and when I returned to Xilin Village not long ago, he didn't stay long before he went to do something, and it was because I remembered what I told him about the research and development of new bun varieties, no, it's in my hands."

Xie Ai looked at the girl in the pink skirt in front of her, and her heart was soft and quiet: "Speaking of this, I have a secret recipe in my hand, which was taught to me by my mother, but the Xie family's business is not here, and the secret recipe has never been revealed to others." ”

Lin Archie was curious: "Then why don't you sell it at a high price?" That way, you will have some money to spare, so that you will not be so poor. ”

Xie Ai said: "This is the only thing my mother left me, how can I give it to others at a high price?" The Xie family has always paid attention to credibility in business, and this party must no longer be misappropriated. If I really sell, I'm really ashamed of my mother's soul in the sky. ”

Lin Aqi's eyes lit up: "Then what if you haven't sold it yet, but you use this recipe?" ”

"Is this harmony?"

Lin Aqi put down the dough, paced in the courtyard with his hands, twisted his eyebrows and thought carefully before saying, "That's it!" Will you cooperate with me? ”

"Cooperation?"

Lin Archie nodded: "I intend to make more delicious and delicate buns and make them bigger and stronger." But what worries me is that this bun is extremely filling. If you are willing to provide the recipe for making it, I will provide a financial subsidy, let's open a steamed bun shop together, and you know the way of doing business, maybe you can sell this steamed bun prosperously. ”

Xie Ai smiled: "Your idea is good, it is normal for businessmen to exchange resources, but how much sponsorship do you have?" If you fail in business, don't just cry. ”

Lin Aqi rushed into the room very arrogantly and took out his account book, and handed it to Xie Ai generously: "You can take a closer look, most of my money is stored in the account of King Ming, and there is some interest every month, I don't know if these are enough?" ”

"King Ming is willing to accept your softness?"

Each owner of the palace has its own private treasury account room, and the Xie family also has the Xie family's big ticket number. But for a person of King Ming's status, he shouldn't look down on Lin Aqi's pocket money, right?

"Why didn't he refuse? He restrained me from spending money, not to mention how happy I was. Lin Aqi pouted, his face full of displeasure.

Xie Ai smiled, his fingers turned the paper slightly, his eyes fixed on the last count of the page, and he was slightly surprised: "Fifteen thousand seven hundred and twenty-one taels?" ”

How can there be so many?

After being surprised, he immediately returned to his normal look, after all, he is the king of Ming, he must be very good at doing business, Lin Aqi's money is stored in him, and it is normal for him to have more interest.

"Yun Qi can say it, he just saves it for me, and you can't be careless about it, I still have a sense of proportion."

Xie Ai bit his lip, judging from the fact that you feed me candied fruit at will, you are a rich man with no sense of proportion, okay?

Lin Aqi approached her with a smile: "How is Miss Xie?" Is that enough? ”

"Enough, absolutely enough."

The two of them said that they would do it, knead the dough at the moment, and put it aside, Xie Ai's secret recipe needed a medicinal herb and several other recipes, and it would take a certain amount of time to develop it successfully.

It was because the two of them went out to the mountain in the afternoon to look for it, and spent an afternoon collecting all the things that were used, and when they got it, they rushed out in the evening.

"The last step is to put the buns in the cage drawer, and light the fire early tomorrow morning to check how the finished product is." Xie Ai is very confident in this.

Lin Aqi was full of anticipation and folded his hands: "It will definitely succeed!" ”

Lin Shaxiang saw that they had been busy for a long time, and urged again and again: "Go and rest, tomorrow Master will get up early to help you watch the fire." ”

"Okay!"

The two girls were lying in a quilt, and the originally cold bedding was instantly warmed by the body temperature of the two. Lin Archie dishonestly stretched his hand to her belly, causing Xie Ai to laugh.

"I'm afraid of itching, you take it away-"

"I'm not afraid! I don't hey, hey, hey......"

"You're so bad."

"I'm not bad, I'm my sister's little fan."

In the early morning, the dense fog in the countryside is faint, and the birds in the forest are singing and the water is dewed.

Lin Aqi rubbed his eyes and pushed open the door of the house, the stove in the firewood room was burning extremely strongly, and the flames were crawling upward, burning the lid of the pot with a hot air and making a "zizi" sound. Lin Shaxiang was leaning on the fireplace to dry the water droplets on his hands, and when he saw that Lin Archie was awake, he hurriedly came over with a basin to pour hot water for her.

"Come and wash your face, the buns will be fine for a while."

Lin Aqi yawned loudly: "Master, I smell the fragrance of steamed buns." ”

"You have wrapped so many flavors, and they are naturally fragrant when mixed together." Lin Shaxiang smiled, and after testing the water temperature, he called her, "Wash it." ”

Lin Aqi took a towel and pasted his face at will, his drowsiness was completely gone, and after wringing out the towel and hanging it, Xie Ai also yawned and entered the firewood room.

"Are you awake?" Lin Aqi shook the water droplets in his hand, "The bun will be ready soon." ”

"Well, remember not to lift the lid immediately after turning off the heat, and let it simmer for a while to retain the aroma."

"Okay!"

After the two finished washing, they sat on the small pestle to count the time, and when they saw that the time was almost up, they ran up and lifted the cover. Lin Shaxiang had a lot of hands, but he didn't expect Xie Ai to be not bad, the two of them lifted the lid of the pot with a damp cloth and put it aside, the buns were fragrant, and they got into the noses of the three of them, and they couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

"It smells so good!" Lin Aqi was busy holding chopsticks and plates, and took several of them to the hall to put them, and was filled by the cold wind all the way, and the buns were a lot colder.

"Taste it." Lin Shaxiang poured milk tea for the three of them, "I just bought it from your Uncle Aman, it's fresh, and it's just right to eat it with steamed buns." ”

"Okay!" The three of them sat down to drink tea first, and when the buns were cooler, Lin Aqi took a bite first, the buns were mellow and full, the soup was also rich, and the taste buds were satisfied.

"This bun is better than any other bun I've ever had." Lin Shaxiang smiled with satisfaction, and Lin Aqi also smiled at Xie Ai.

"There are very few soup packets in Yungu Country, and the best ones that are currently doing so are just occupying the local area, and they have not yet spread to the whole country." Xie Ai curled his lips.

"So we have a good chance." Lin Aqi clenched his fists, "If we want to do it, we will be the best in the country!" ”

"Good! Master also supports you, how much money do you want? Master out. ”

"Master, don't fight with me about this, I have money, I discussed it with Xie Ai, I will pay her to do things, and we are a partnership."

"Good, good." Lin Shaxiang laughed with satisfaction, "Archie has grown up and has an opinion, and he is happy for his teacher, and he will give you another three hundred taels." ”

Three hundred taels?

Xie Ai was stunned, who invested so much in the bun shop as soon as it came up? She couldn't help but look at this courtyard again, such an ordinary family was really hidden, and she couldn't imagine that everyone in the Lin family was very wealthy.

"But this shop has to have a meaningful name, you have to pay attention to it, when you mention steamed buns, you think of this one, and when you mention this name, you have to think of it as a steamed bun."

The two girls thought about it seriously, and Lin Aqi's eyes lit up as he held the bun: "It's better to call it Xie Lin's bag!" ”

"Are these two surnames serious?" Lin Shaxiang raised his eyebrows.

"Nope." Lin Aqi's face was serious, "A neighbor is a neighbor's neighbor." In order to make this bun have a touching story, we also need to make up a story that makes people cry, so that they know that this bun is not easy to come by, and they are willing to buy it. ”

"Poof." Xie Ai smiled, "Your little brain is quite fast, making up stories?" What are you going to make up? ”

"Why don't you just have someone to thank your neighbor for your kindness, and when you grow up, you will open a folk steamed bun shop, and you will be given this name to express your gratitude to your old neighbors."

Half a month later, the long-prepared "Xie Lin's Bun" officially opened, the buns are all huge and delicious, the soup buns alone are divided into three soup flavors, and the rest of the meat buns and vegetarian buns are divided into several types, which are eye-catching.
