Shen Zhongyuan felt very superior, he was the pride of the sky, and he usually showed kindness, because he wanted to be an excellent person in the eyes of others. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In private, he will secretly rejoice that his image in the eyes of others is much taller, and in the Shen Mansion, whether it is a maid or a servant, the evaluation of him is good.

In this way, he is satisfied.

But now he found that he was actually not good, so he began to mess up, everything was just because of one person, the most wasteful person in his eyes, Shen Zhongping.

First of all, he composed a poem at the poetry meeting, and then Shen An and Shen Zhongping's fame spread, and I remember that when many maids and servants in the house talked about Shen An, they still looked proud. Shen Zhongyuan felt disgusted, this group of servants and maids were just a group of guys who saw the wind and steered the rudder.

Then, Shen An unbelievably created a restaurant out of thin air, and at the same time surprised, he was more unhappy.

After that, Shen An had already shocked him, even if he didn't admit Shen An's talent on the surface, he was still shocked in his heart.

Shen Dingyong frowned, and said slowly: "I didn't expect that even the Ye family would intervene in it, hmph, too, it's not that the Ye family doesn't know how to judge the situation and want to drag down my Shen family......"

"Father, we have hoarded a lot of flour and it is unsalable...... The amount of money lost is huge, and the pastry business is also plummeting, and the children are afraid ......," Shen Zhongyuan bowed and said, his face full of worry.

"Hmm......" Shen Dingyong pondered for a while, "I didn't expect the Ye family to come in and intervene, but I miscalculated this." It seems that this method is no longer available, so in this case, you can only make some effort on the pastry. By the way, how is the new jade flower cake explored? ”

Speaking of this, Shen Zhongyuan was slightly happy: "The kind of flowers that my father brought from Suzhou, I instructed the workshop to grind the flowers and add them to the jade flower cake according to my father's wishes." ”

"Part of the finished product has been made, and I have specially asked someone to try it, and the more people who try it after eating, the more they want to continue eating, and even gradually inseparable from the new jade flower cake, and it will be uncomfortable if they don't eat it for a day. If such jade cakes are produced in large quantities, the child feels that not to mention the Jiangnan region, even the north and even the royal family, my Shen family, will definitely be able to show their ambitions. ”

The more Shen Zhongyuan spoke, the more excited he became, Shen Dingyong came back from the capital and passed through Suzhou, and inadvertently acquired a kind of flower, which had a strange effect, and people would gradually become obsessed with such a taste and feeling after eating it once. According to those who have eaten it, it can make people flutter and indulge in it.

Shen Zhongyuan had a whim to add flowers to the jade flower cake to make a new jade flower cake, which would make people addicted to eating it, if so, as long as his Shen family controlled this strange flower and achieved hegemony, it was not a dream.

Shen Dingyong frowned slightly: "This is addictive, and I am afraid that it will affect my jade flower cake......"

Shen Zhongyuan looked at Shen Dingyong eagerly, and said worriedly, "Is my father still hesitating?" You must have also seen it, now that the situation of my Shen family is unstable, if it is dragged down like this, even with the background of my Shen family, it will inevitably be dragged down. Now that there is such a jade flower cake, it is really a godsend, and it is a good opportunity for my Shen family to lay the first giant of ginger pastry, doesn't my father want to carry forward my Shen family in our generation? ”

Shen Zhongyuan's words were already using the future development to tempt Shen Dingyong, Shen Dingyong was obviously moved, but with his years of experience in business, he always felt that this was a bit inappropriate. However, the current situation really can't tolerate his indecision, so let's give it a go!

"In this case, Zhong Yuan, you let the workshop hurry up and make such a large number of jade flower cakes, I want to see the charm of this new jade flower cake in the shortest possible time!" Shen Dingyong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "In this way, it can also make that noble person look up to my Shen family!" ”

"Yes, father." Shen Zhongyuan's previous haze was swept away, and he was only happy at the moment, probably he was already thinking about how Shen An was defeated, and unconsciously, the corners of his mouth outlined a touch of madness.

Shen Anran didn't know the Shen family's calculations, and he wouldn't have expected that the Shen family would actually get that kind of strange flower that made people addicted as soon as they ate it.

In June, the weather began to be hot, and there were a few people such as Tang Chongjing and Shopkeeper Wang to take care of the business, but Shen An was not too worried, not to mention, Li Mingzhu was quite talented in this area, so Shen An just commanded it behind the scenes.

He planned to build a place for himself to enjoy the shade in the yard, and there were a few trees in the yard, so Shen An built a simple pavilion with the trunk of the trees.

Shen An was taking advantage of the cold, but saw a person looking at the gate of the courtyard.

Shen An raised his eyelids and said, "Who are you?" ”

When the man saw Shen An, he bowed down and said, "I was sent by Mrs. Meng to invite Shen Zhongping, is Shen Gongzi here?" ”

"I just want it." Shen An was a little puzzled, what did Meng Qingran ask him to do? "Uh, that, hello, dare to ask Mrs. Meng what is the matter?"

"The little one doesn't know what the Taifu is looking for Shen Gongzi", but the Taifu deliberately instructed the too small one to invite Shen Gongzi over, so please also ask Shen Gongzi to be considerate of those of us who are ......subordinates" The person who came was also young, touched his head and smiled innocently.

"This ......," Shen An thought for a moment, "Okay, you wait for me for a while." ”

Shen An entered the house and changed into another clean suit, and then followed the man.

This is Shen An's second visit to Mengfu, the first time he came was during the poetry meeting, and although he was selling cakes at that time, he didn't take a closer look at the internal situation of Mengfu.

At this time, following the man slowly, Shen An slowly appreciated it, the layout of the house is simple, but there are still pavilions and pavilions that should be, and you can see some calligraphy works hanging on the walls of some rooms, Shen An guessed that this should be written by Meng Qingran himself.

Following the man's lead, not long after, he came to a small back garden, and between a pavilion in the back garden, Meng Qingran was looking at something, his face was a little solemn.

"Taifu." Shen An approached and hugged his fist and said hello.

Meng Qingran looked up and saw that it was Shen An, the solemnity on his face eased a little, and he waved his hand to signal the people around him to leave, and then said: "Zhongping Xiaoyou, please take a seat, it is a little abrupt for the old man to come to Zhongping Xiaoyou today, Xiaoyou is not surprised." ”

"Where did Taifu say, everyone who should have been busy in Xia has been almost busy recently, there is a lot of time, and it is invited by Taifu, so I naturally want to come over." Shen An sat opposite Meng Qingran and said with a smile.

"Haha, that's very good, the old man is still afraid that Zhongping Xiaoyou won't have time." Meng Qingran is naturally clear about Shen An's business, Shen An suddenly rose from an unknown scholar to a businessman who can compete with the Shen family, to be honest, although Meng Qingran does not know how to do business, but Shen An's rise is really surprising.

"Taifu said that he laughed, but when I came here just now, I saw that Taifu seemed to have something, which made Taifu frown."

Speaking of this, Meng Qingran sighed and handed Shen An what he had just seen.

Shen An took it over suspiciously and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, which made Shen An's face a lot more solemn.
