The holy decree given by the emperor said that because he liked the kind of pastry that An Xia Bai made newly, he specially gave the name and gave An Xia Bai a reward.

At that time, there were already a few guests in the restaurant, and when they heard the holy decree that the emperor liked the pastries in the restaurant, they all expressed their curiosity.

Even the emperor will love the pastry, which must taste good!

With that in mind, they ordered the same pastries and began to discuss the business of the restaurant.

An Xia Bai accepted the holy decree and slowly walked to the counter.

She knew that the emperor personally gave a holy decree, in addition to giving names and rewards, there must also be a desire to help the restaurant grow its reputation, once the restaurant's pastries and wine dishes were rewarded by the guests to spread to the outside, it would definitely be able to make a name for itself in the capital, and the business would definitely be several times better than now.

This is obviously a good thing, but An Xiabai doesn't know what's going on, and he always feels a little uneasy in his heart.

The emperor's reward is definitely not so easy to get, and perhaps behind the reward is a bottomless trap.

It's not that she's suspicious, but she's used to putting the royal family on the opposite side of thinking about things, no matter how good the emperor and the crown prince are to their family now, they are always Lu Li's enemies, according to the original development trajectory, Lu Li will definitely stand on the opposite side of them one day, so An Xiabai is too respectful and combing, and even vigilant, she thinks it should be.

There's always nothing wrong with taking precautions.

Just when she was half-frowning and wondering what the emperor was planning, Mo Simin came to the restaurant.

She shouldn't have slept well last night, there was a touch of blue under her eyes, and her face was very haggard, she knew what was going on at a glance, as soon as she stepped into the door, there were immediately familiar guests who smiled and congratulated her: "Congratulations to Miss Mo!" ”

Mo Simin was at a loss when he heard this: "This early morning, what is there to congratulate?" ”

The guests smiled and looked in the direction of the counter.

Mo Simin's gaze also turned, and as soon as her eyes saw An Xiabai, she was so happy that she almost jumped up: "Xiabai, why are you here!" ”

She remembered that Lu Li had recently strictly ordered An Xiabai not to allow her to come to the restaurant to help.

"I'll come and see, isn't the restaurant going to withdraw from the new pastries today, I'm afraid they won't be able to make it, or they won't be able to make the same taste, so I came here." Seeing Mo Simin's arrival, An Xiabai's mood suddenly relaxed a lot, "Anyway, why is your face so bad, did you not sleep well last night." ”

"A little, just go to the Beauty Pavilion and figure it out later." Mo Simin rushed to An Xiabai's side in three steps and two steps, raised his eyebrows and asked, "As soon as I entered the door just now, I heard the guests say congratulations, and they were still talking about our restaurant, you came early, do you know what's going on?" ”

An Xia Bai smiled lightly, "Of course I know, I have been there since the restaurant opened." ”

Then she showed Mo Simin the holy decree given by the nobles in the palace, and told her a rough story about what had happened.

Mo Simin didn't have so much defense against the emperor, and when he saw the holy decree, he almost laughed from ear to ear: "This is a good thing, the restaurant was rewarded by the emperor because of the delicious pastries, if this matter spreads, our restaurant will definitely be famous, not only famous in the capital, but also famous in the world in the future, I think it's very beautiful!" ”

People who don't think much can always see the bright side of things.

An Xiabai suddenly envied her innocence, and said thoughtfully: "I hope." ”

In just three words, Mo Simin's infinite curiosity was aroused: "Why do you wish, isn't it an ironclad thing that the holy decree is good for the restaurant?" ”

She listened to An Xiabai's tone, and no matter how she listened to it, she didn't feel right!

"I'm just feeling it." An Xiabai must not be able to tell her the hesitation in her heart, so she thought about diverting the topic, "I'm going to see if the kitchen is making pastries, it seems that many guests have ordered new pastries just now, they are making them for the first time, I don't know if they can make it, I'm a little worried." ”

With that, she shoved the decree into Mo Simin's hand, and immediately walked in the direction of the kitchen.

Although Mo Simin had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask too much.

She walked upstairs with the decree in her arms, and then went to the Beauty Pavilion.

Anyway, she wants to open the door to do business, it's not good if her face is too haggard, even if she is the owner of the restaurant, occasionally when the people are not busy enough, she will help serve the plates!

On a beautiful and peaceful morning, a sedan chair was broken in front of and behind the door of the restaurant.

A strong man with a full beard walked into the restaurant quickly, went straight to the counter, slapped his rough palm on the counter, and said loudly: "Miss Lu, our son-in-law heard that the restaurant has a new pastry today, so come and try it, you can give us one." ”

Lu Liu'er was stunned, nodded and said, "Okay, please wait a while." ”

She called the little maid, thinking that the son in the mouth of the strong man wanted to pack the pastries home, so she told the little guy to pay attention.

As a result, the strong man was not happy: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lu Liu'er said with a blank face: "Isn't it packed, or your son-in-law needs a box, and there is one upstairs, how about I take him up?" ”

The strong man's face couldn't hold back: "My son-in-law's surname is Bai, and the Bai family's cloth village is white." ”

Lu Liu'er agreed softly, but she still didn't understand the meaning of his words, and she didn't ask him what his son-in-law's surname was, what did he say?

At this moment, a guest near the counter stood up and reminded softly: "Miss Lu, his son-in-law is in the capital, he is the son of a wealthy family, his surname is Bai Youqi, he usually comes to the restaurant to eat, and the pomp is very large, and he will usually directly take a large amount of money to buy the restaurant and then take a seat, you see this?" Would you like to talk to the other guests? ”

It turns out that this is what the name on the newspaper meant!

Lu Liu'er's eyes turned, and she saw that the other guests in the building were eating and eating, and even some were waiting for the new pastries, all of them were just right, and they suddenly felt that it was not cost-effective to catch people.

Maybe Bai Gongzi will pay enough silver taels, but those silver taels will definitely not buy back the reputation of the restaurant.

Lu Liuer only thought about it for a short period of time, and immediately chose not to clear the venue: "Our restaurant does not have the rules of eating and clearing the venue, if Bai Gongzi likes to be quiet, he can go to the box on the second floor." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the strong man's palm slapped on the counter again: "Miss Lu, don't you toast and don't eat and drink, what kind of character our son is, a little bit of connections, can make your restaurant close tomorrow, come to eat here to look up to you, if you are so ignorant, be careful that we are not welcome!" ”

Lu Liuer is usually very timid and has no opinions, but now she is very tough: "No, you can't break the rules." ”

She felt that if An Xiabai in the back kitchen knew that there was such a movement in the lobby, she would definitely choose to refuse.

The strong man was dissatisfied and wanted to make trouble.

As a result, before he could say anything, a voice came from behind him: "What are you messing around, be respectful, don't scare other girls." ”

The man who was still fierce just now heard this voice, and immediately wilted like frosted vegetables: "Childe, I know it's wrong." ”

Lu Liu'er subconsciously followed his gaze and saw a noble son walking in outside the door.

He is not like the crown prince, his nobility and majesty are restrained, and he is not like the other sons who have come to the store before to give people a polite feeling, as soon as Lu Liuer saw him, there was a thought in his heart, this person had better not provoke.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lu, my people were rude to you just now, didn't scare you, right?" Bai Youqi came to the counter surrounded by seven or eight small guys.

Lu Liu'er was so frightened that she took a step back, shook her head again and again and said, "No, I wasn't scared." ”

It's a pity that her expression has betrayed her.

"I'll punish him." When Bai Youqi faced Lu Liu'er, he had a smile on his face, but when he turned his head to talk to the house slave, that is, the fierce strong man just now, he immediately panicked, "Who made you embarrassed Miss Lu, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to Miss Lu to admit your mistake, if you make Miss Lu unhappy, I will give you a meal to eat when I go back!" ”

The house slave was flustered, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Miss Lu, I know it's wrong, you can spare me this time!" ”

Lu Liuer didn't want to accept his worship: "Get up quickly, I don't blame you." ”

The house slave didn't dare to get up, and without Bai Youqi's instructions, he didn't dare to get up even if he fell to his knees and died.

In the end, it was Lu Liu'er who helped to speak: "Bai Gongzi, I'm really fine, you don't have to punish him, hurry up and let him get up." ”

Bai Gongzi snorted coldly and let go of the house slave to get up from the ground.

"Miss Lu, in fact, I came today, in addition to trying the pastries in your restaurant, I also want to meet someone." He smiled and said to Lu Liu'er, "I heard that Miss Mo is the owner of the restaurant, I don't know if she is here today, if she comes, I want to meet her, if she doesn't come, I will go to the box on the second floor and sit and wait for her to come." ”

The implication is that he must see Mo Simin today!

Bai Youqi has wanted to see Mo Simin for a long time, and he heard others say that Mo Simin was born beautiful, and her appearance is not comparable to many aristocratic ladies in the capital, and she is considered top-notch in it!

It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to meet him, because Mo Simin doesn't like the pastime of the aristocratic ladies very much.

He still inquired for a long time, only to know that Mo Simin usually came to take care of the business of the restaurant, so he came to name and ask for a meeting.

"Miss Mo should be here, it seems that she is upstairs now," Lu Liu'er did not veto, because she was not sure if the rich son in front of her knew Mo Simin, so she chose to let Bai Youqi wait downstairs for a while, and go to the Beauty Pavilion to report by herself.

At that time, Mo Simin was applying a mask with his eyes closed, and his brows furrowed when he heard this, and he almost didn't remember who Bai Youqi was: "Bai Youqi Bai Gongzi, oh I remember, it should be the one who made a fortune in the silk business in the family." ”

It turned out that Mo Simin knew Bai Youqi: "Then do you want to go down to see him?" ”

"No, I don't want to see him," Mo Simin shook his head, the disgust and disgust on his face were undisguised, "He came to my house to propose marriage before, but was directly rejected by my father, and now if I see him again, I'm afraid it will affect it badly, you can help me get rid of him, just say that I am not feeling well and resting upstairs, I really can't see him, let him not come in the future." ”
