Wei Qing looked at his dark and deep eyes, and the cold light in them was like a beam of firelight, directly illuminating the corner of his heart that was hidden deepest, and also illuminating his dirty thoughts.

"Mr. Du rest assured, Wei has no other intentions for Mrs. Du, just like Mr. Du said, Wei has important things to do, and he shouldn't be tied up by the love of his children, then Qing Guzi I really want to condition Mrs. Du's body, and I don't have too many ideas, so Mr. Du doesn't have to be angry, Wei won't be in the future."

He smiled bitterly, it turned out that he couldn't even have the opportunity to stay by her side and guard, after all, he was the first person to refuse at that time, so he was not qualified to be in this sad autumn.

"That's for the best." Du Lisheng is not unforgiving, the other party has so promised, he also nodded, and then went out of the inner room and went home with Zhou Xinzhi.

After the two left, Yang Fang walked out from behind the screen in the house.

"How? Was pointed out on the spot by other people's husbands? Yang Fang took the apple on the table and took a big bite with a click.

"It's not important, I've made an important discovery." Wei Qingsui quickly adjusted his mood, sat at the desk and took out a paper inkstone, "I remember that the palace people used to say that in the early years of Concubine Chen, the palace was flooded, and King Yi was burned by fire when he was young, you go back to Beijing to ask Your Majesty for the exact news, and the letter will be passed on to me when the time comes." ”

"You mean, the scar on Du Lisheng's hand is also a burn? Can you tell how long it has been? ”

Yang Fang also became serious, if this is really the case, a large part of His Majesty's heart will be solved.

Concubine Chen died when the fragrance disappeared, King Yi was still young and was taken away by the palace people, and then I don't know where he went, His Majesty has been trying to find King Yi for so many years, but this world is huge, just with a portrait of his childhood, he can't find it at all.

"Well, it's very likely, but if Your Majesty can think of more information, maybe there is a way to confirm it." Wei Qing picked up his pen and wrote down what he wanted to ask on the imperial paper handed to him by His Majesty, "You give this piece of paper to Your Majesty, you must confirm it, and I will observe it here again." ”

"Okay." Yang Fang didn't dare to delay, took the imperial paper home and explained to his mother, and hurried back to Beijing on horseback.

Back home, Du Lisheng really enjoyed the status of the head of the house, but unfortunately he couldn't sit still, watching the little lady busy, he wanted to come forward to help, and several times he was stared at obediently sitting on the seat and did not dare to move.

"Xinzhi, my hand is fine, it's just a small wound, and I can still move." He moved his hand as he spoke, and Zhou Xinzhi gasped.

"It's still small! It's cut so deep, where is it small, and you give me obedient care, I will naturally tell you when I need your help, if you dare to move again, I won't care about you in the future. ”

Zhou Xinzhi turned around angrily and stopped looking at him, this appearance also made Du Lisheng feel weak for a while, and finally had to sit on the side to recuperate according to what the little lady said.

Because he injured his right hand, Zhou Xinzhi fed him spoonful by spoonful when he ate.

In the evening, Zhou Xinzhi put all the wooden signs with serial numbers on them on a cloth bag, prepared all the things that would go into the city tomorrow, and the two rested.

In the next two days, Zhou Xinzhi began to sell the new scrub in accordance with Yuanqin's way, not to mention, this way is really good, although Yuanqin doesn't know many words, but the ability to tidy up is not covered, one morning, the front desk is in order, even the eldest lady of the Fang family, who has always been picky, also praised this little girl with a smile.

"Yes, I suddenly realized that you were really humble when you told me that you were incapable." Zhou Xinzhi opened her mouth and praised, "I'm going to run another shop these days, I'll leave it to you for the time being, and if you have something, you will hand it over to the second shopkeeper in the shop, he is very idle and don't have to be polite to him." ”

"Okay, Sister Xinzhi." Yuan Qin nodded obediently, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

After a brief explanation, she went to Xu's shop, she asked Du Huasheng to help move the simple oven in her backyard, because it has not been used for a long time, so the thing has been disinfected for the past few days.

She didn't let Du Lisheng run around at will, so she let him rest in the shop, and when the wound scabbed over and new flesh grew, he could move at will.

"Well, if you can, we can start trying to make this fruit pastry." Zhou Xinzhi went to the backyard to observe, not to mention, this iron box is really different from before when it is cleaned up, it is much cleaner.

"Mrs. Du can naturally try, if you can allow the shopkeeper to agree to play, I have already renovated the shop inside and outside once in the past few days, and when we choose a good day tomorrow, we still have to reopen it again." Qin Shuang leaned against the door frame, holding a dogtail flower in her mouth, quite free and easy in a man's house.

"If you meet a female guest like this, I guess it will be enough for you." She glanced at Qin Shuang.

This ruffian appearance is definitely a girl who needs to look twice, let alone this beautiful face.

"It's good to hug left and right, I don't know how to enjoy." Qin Shuang laughed at herself disapprovingly, "I am not uncommon to see this kind of difficult female guest, Mrs. Du naturally doesn't have to worry about me, it's a big deal, I will just announce the identity of my daughter's family, and this can't be regarded as a secret." ”

Qin Shuang didn't care, the reason why she used men's clothes to show people was just because it was more convenient to walk outside, and as for the rest, she didn't care.

Zhou Xinzhi didn't speak again, stood up and went directly to the stove room, borrowed it from Xu Chang for a while, and the kitchen began to prepare to teach this crisp bun.

"Actually, this thing is not difficult at all, I only need to do it once, and Brother Xu will be able to understand it."

She laughed dryly, in front of the two people in the family who have been selling pastries for generations, she showed off her skills, there was a feeling of getting an axe, and she coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment, and she started to do it.

She said a rough idea of the technique and recipe of the noodles, she left room for Xuchang and his wife to change, and said it briefly, as she expected, and when she finished speaking, Xuchang put forward his own opinions.

"If you want to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, you can use ghee to make it, which is like lotus crisp, and if you grasp the following amount a little, you should be able to do better."

At first, Zhou Xinzhi also considered it, but she was afraid that the ghee would not be adjusted well, so it would really become a crispy taste like lotus crisp, and she didn't know how to make this ghee.

"Brother Xu thinks it's okay, then you can try it, my method is just the simplest, the taste may not be so good, you can also adjust it at will after trying it."

Zhou Xinzhi doesn't know much about the pie crust, but she still has a lot to say in terms of fruit filling, because if you make this apple pie, the most indispensable thing is rum, but there is no rum here, so you can only use a little bit of white wine to increase the aroma, although the taste is a little worse, but it is not too bad.

When the operation is almost done, the puff pastry is also in the oven.

"This thing will burn up for a while, but it's not hot, if you can, try to find a blacksmith to make a handle, easy to take, today is not enough time, you can only use this cotton cloth to wrap your hands, and wait a few days I can make a piece that can be put on my hand, we don't have to worry."

Zhou Xinzhi repeatedly emphasized that after all, this burn is not easy to maintain, and it will hurt for ten days and half a month.

Qin Shuang didn't say much, after all, she was not in charge of this piece, the Xu family and his wife looked serious, and Du Huasheng and Qi on the side also nodded, but in the past two days, the two of them could only sit in the shop and couldn't do anything.

"Okay, just bake it for a while, about half a column of incense, you must be careful!" She couldn't help but ramble again, and then pulled Qi Shi over, "You come with me, I have something to teach you." ”

Qi nodded and walked behind Zhou Xinzhi.

If you really count it, she is older than Zhou Xinzhi, but the temperament on her body is so old that people don't feel like she should have at this age.

When she arrived in the inner room, Zhou Xinzhi took out all the empty account books she had prepared.

"In the past two days, you husband and wife have followed behind Brother Xu, my book is a new account book, I will ask you for an old account book in a while, you husband and wife will figure this out first, how to keep accounts, how to calculate profits and losses, and what is the critical point of the pastries in this shop, you have to figure it out yourself."

"Sister-in-law, what is it, what is it, Wan'er and I don't know very much." Du Huasheng scratched his head and looked at her with some embarrassment.

Zhou Xinzhi slapped her head, "Blame me, blame me, this word is used by me when I settle accounts by myself, it doesn't matter if you don't know, I'll explain it to you and you'll understand." ”

She drew a large circle on the paper and a small circle on it.

"I have drawn two circles here, what is the small circle inside, this is the net cost of buying things in our shop, and the specific amount has to be calculated by yourself, including your husband and wife Brother Xu and sister-in-law, and even Qin Shuang's salary, all of which must be counted in it, as well as the materials we use and so on, I will let Brother Xu teach you, it is very easy to learn."

"This small circle is the net cost, the outer circle is the selling price, what is the net cost of these two pastries, how much profit can be earned, and how much profit can be made to make the profit and cost of the shop equal, that is to say, this critical price refers to the fact that if we sell it, the shop will at least not lose money."

She made this matter clear, Du Huasheng digested it for a while, and nodded as if he didn't understand.

"It's normal to don't understand it now, I'm just slowly giving you some impressions, and then you will understand it after the shop is really in business, this business is not so difficult, and I will slowly figure it out, Brother Xu remembered that I also read the account book before, it is very detailed, you husband and wife can study and understand it, there is no problem, and the rest can be learned from Brother Xu and the sister-in-law of the Xu family."
