"I am."

Lu Xiaoya looked up carefully and found that the other party's dress was very elegant, and his bearing was extraordinary, but it was like the big shopkeeper in an ancient shop, and some time-honored shops would always retain the way to wear long coats. Although his face was smiling, it did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he was clearly an old man.

He was not in a hurry: "My surname is Hao, and he is the big shopkeeper of Zhenbao Zhai diagonally opposite, and I would like to send a congratulatory gift to congratulate the opening." ”

"Thank you, Hao...... Shopkeeper. After Lu Xiaoya introduced herself, she told Ah Rong to make tea, after all, the visitor was a guest and a neighbor.

"Don't bother." Shopkeeper Hao waved his hand, "It's surprising that Boss Lu runs an ingenious cake shop at such a young age. Today, the business on the whole street has gone to Boss Lu's shop, which is so majestic. ”

"Where, where."

Lu Xiaoya heard that something was wrong in her words, and she couldn't say why, she just thought that the other party was complimenting her feelings. After all, people are in the antique business, so there should be no conflict with her cake shop.

When the people left, Lu Xiaoya also specially sent a few cakes as a return gift.

At this time, Brother Li Wu Jian had already left, and apart from her, only Nick Swallow and Ah Rong and the new employees were left in the store.

Ah Rong said: "Sister Xiaoya, do you know what Jumbo Zhai does?" ”

Lu Xiaoya hesitated: "Isn't it an antique shop or an antique shop or something?" ”

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean?"

When Lu Xiaoya chose the address before, she also saw the store signboard of Zhenbao Zhai, and the antique doors and windows decorated were all carved beams and paintings, and she almost thought it was for a store that was specially framed in a film and television drama. However, after Ah Rongyi's explanation, Lu Xiaoya found that her understanding was very wrong, Zhenbao Zhai was actually a pastry shop selling traditional northern!

And the family is a chain, basically opened in the north of the Yellow River, in the northern city of the famous, Shanghai is the only branch.

It sounds pretty awesome, it turns out that there is no store in Hangzhou, so she doesn't know.

No wonder, Shopkeeper Hao wants to come over to brush up on his sense of existence, dare to love that the two of them are competitors?

Lu Xiaoya really didn't take traditional pastries seriously, because she knew too well that new cakes were bound to gradually occupy market share, and now it was only a matter of time, and it really didn't pose a threat to her.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Rong told him: "The owner of this treasure house is very powerful, my family is in Kyoto, in addition to making time-honored pastries, there are also teahouses, restaurants, restaurants, restaurants, and pawnshops...... The industry is rich, anyway, it's very big, we can't afford to provoke it, so we'd better not get involved with them. ”

Lu Xiaoya snorted twice, suddenly frowned, and asked Ah Rong: "Do you know what their boss's family name is?" ”

"It seems to be surnamed Wei."

“……”

Lu Xiaoya's eyelids jumped even harder, it's not so coincidental!

It's Kyoto and it's big, could it be that this treasure is Wei's father's chain shop?

Surprised by the fleeting nature of her eyes, if she wants to expand her business territory in the future, she will inevitably enter Kyoto, and the intersection of Shanghai and Shanghai is not even the first meeting.

If Father Wei really wants to suppress it, can her business in Shanghai continue smoothly?

Lu Xiaoya's brows just furrowed, and Yanzi couldn't wait to open the gift box sent by the shopkeeper Hao, which contained several signature pastries from Zhenbao Zhai, hawthorn cake, jujube flower cake, walnut steak, cloud cake, glutinous rice ball...... Everyone tasted a little bit, and it was indeed the advantage of someone's golden signboard standing tall, and it was quite delicious.

It's not that I'm really afraid of the Wei family's suppression, Lu Xiaoya mainly doesn't want Wei Zeyang to be caught in the middle.

Lu Xiaoya thought about it for a while, her brain hurt a little, she simply didn't want to, take one step at a time, and wait and see what happens.

After calculating the accounts, today's turnover has exceeded more than 2,500 yuan, deducting labor costs, rents and costs, and there are also 2,000 yuan.

And not only that, Brother Li's ham sausage has also received several orders.

The purchasing power of the people of Shanghai is really not to be underestimated!

Lu Xiaoya and Yanzi mother and daughter naturally lived in a hotel in Shanghai at night, and when they looked back, Nick was still in the store, and his face was restless, and he glanced out from time to time, which was completely different from the bright smile in the morning.

Lu Xiaoya raised her eyebrows and asked him: "You don't go back with Brother Li and Wu Jian, do you want to blackmail me for one more dinner?" Plus accommodation? ”

"Of course not." Nick came back to his senses, apparently aware of his anomaly today.

"Oh, I know, are you waiting for Mr. Li to invite you to dinner?" Ignoring the other party's slightly dark face after being pierced through his mind, Lu Xiaoya grinded her teeth and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you that she called the store and said that she suddenly had an urgent matter and couldn't come, isn't it a little lost?" "Flying Library

"Whoever waits for her, who is lost, inexplicable." Nick pretended to be garlic seriously, walked over, pressed the swallow's fluffy head, and smiled: "Little swallow, Uncle Nick is leaving, goodbye!" ”

"Goodbye, Uncle Nick."

Lu Xiaoya saw Nick's extremely unnatural back as he walked faster and faster, and hooked his lips and smiled.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?" The swallow looked up and asked puzzled.

"Didn't laugh at anything."

Yanzi frowned slightly, and said as if embarrassed: "Mom, although Uncle Nick is good-looking, you have already smiled at him several times today. ”

"Is there one?"

"Yes, you already have Uncle Wei, you can't be half-hearted."

Lu Xiaoya: "......"

What's going on with this little adult's tone? Dare to love Wei Zeyang sent a small room~ spy lurking beside her?

"Children, do you know what half-heartedness is?"

"I just know."

“……”

At this time, Wei Zeyang has not returned to China, so Lu Xiaoya and him have not been in touch for a long time.

Although the opening of the store in Shanghai has been planned for a long time, the last time we got together, I did not talk to Wei Zeyang in detail. Lu Xiaoya's idea is that if she can solve it, don't trouble others, Wei Zeyang has a lot more responsibilities on her shoulders than her.

The mother and daughter lived in Shanghai for another week, and the cake shop was busy every day, mainly because of the relationship between the approaching New Year, and the big guys had plenty of money, so they naturally went to the street to buy and buy, and Lu Xiaoya immediately decided to recruit a new employee.

She was still worried about how Jumbo Zhai was doing, but it was calm and nothing happened, maybe she was too sensitive.

Maybe in Father Wei's heart, her Lu Xiaoya and the grapefruit cake shop are just insignificant things, and they are not worth suppressing at all.

Twentieth of the twentieth month of the lunar

Lu Xiaoya took the swallow back to Hangzhou City, and the things that had piled up suddenly became more, dense and full, and sometimes it hurt her to settle accounts.

The old shop in the commercial street is okay, the second store of the railway station is gone, Ah Tu brought a new employee and he is not particularly clever, he is in a hurry, he was fished in troubled waters and stole money, not to mention, and an electric oven was broken.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoya stocked up on a few at home, specifically for emergencies. As for the lack of money, for the sake of honesty between the two, they don't care about it, but Enwei and Shi beat it for sure.

Next is the duty schedule for Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year, three stores, each employee ensures that they can rest for at least three to four days during the Spring Festival.

As for herself, she can only work hard and be on duty continuously.

Business was good in the first month, and Lu Xiaoya naturally refused to let go.

And among so many employees, only she and Yanzi don't need to go home for the New Year.

The biggest headache is the off-road vehicle blowing the northwest wind in the Sunshine Community, Lu Xiaoya really wants to drive, and it is really inconvenient for her to come and go now to take a taxi or shuttle, but at present, she can't spare time to get a driver's license.

Brother Li gave her an idea, directly take the money to let people take the test on her behalf, and after a few days of hard work, the driver's license will be in hand.

It's true that money can make ghosts grind.

Although she has a driver's license, Lu Xiaoya doesn't dare to really go on the road unscrupulously, and she doesn't want to be a road killer who harms others and herself. As a result, Brother Li lent her his own driver and taught her to drive for an hour every day.

It was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

At noon, as decided in advance, Lu Xiaoya released everyone's leave after distributing the red envelopes, and let them go back early for Chinese New Year's Eve.

He stayed in the old shop with Yanzi and stood on the last shift.

Almost waiting for the doors of the surrounding stores to close, Lu Xiaoya began to tidy up the cabinets and clean up...... After being busy with work, I found that the swallow was pouted, her face was unhappy, and she didn't mean to help her mother work, the little girl was very abnormal.

"What's wrong?"

"Mom, are we two of us for the Chinese New Year this year, Uncle Wei, Aunt Fat, Uncle Da Zhuang, Brother Huzi...... None of them are there, so lonely. ”
