Chapter 19: Trouble
When the two sisters and brothers arrived at Deyue Building, it was already afternoon Shenshi, and there were no customers in the store, so Hu Mantun was scrubbing the table in the lobby alone.
He heard the movement, and raised his head with the rag in his hand: "Jiang Ming, who is this?" Your sister? ”
Hu Mantun's eyes were wide, and he kept listening to Jiang Ming say in their ears Sister, Hu Mantun thought he would be very old, but he didn't expect to stand with Jiang Ming, if he didn't say age, he thought it was his sister.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was wearing coarse cloth clothes that had been sewn several times, although this outfit was not very good, but her little face was white, her long black and smooth hair hung down under her shoulders, and her black and white eyes did not evade Hu Mantun's scrutiny, and she had a confident energy on her body, which added color to her posture.
Hu Mantun is older than Jiang Xiaoxiao, but being looked at by Jiang Xiaoxiao like this, he really felt a little suppressed, he shyly avoided his gaze: "Sister Jiang Ming, I am Hu Mantun, and I am also a buddy from Deyuelou, please here, Jiang Ming, you show your sister tea first, and I will call the shopkeeper." ”
Hu Mantun's white face turned a few crimsons, and he ran up to the second floor in a hurry to call Huang An, who was the shopkeeper.
Jiang Ming picked up the teapot and poured tea for Jiang Xiaoxiao: "Sister, it's hot outside, drink a cup of herbal tea to moisten your throat first, and go to call the shopkeeper Mantun, and it is estimated that he will come out after a while." ”
Rushed all the way from Dayu Village, Jiang Xiaoxiao did sweat hot, she took advantage of Huang An did not go downstairs, first looked up and down the restaurant, this restaurant is renovated and reopened, the wooden table in the lobby is square, there are almost more than ten tables.
Suddenly, the sound of going downstairs came, Hu Mantun was in front, Huang An was behind, and Huang An was leading Huang An to the first floor.
Jiang Xiaoxiao got up immediately, and Jiang Ming also took the initiative to introduce: "Shopkeeper, this is my sister Jiang Xiaoxiao." ”
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly with Huang An, who was coming towards him, and shouted politely: "Shopkeeper." ”
Huang An nodded slightly, and sure enough, as Hu Mantun said, Jiang Ming's sister didn't look very old.
"You are Jiang Ming's sister, then you are not an outsider, sit down and talk." Huang An motioned for Jiang Xiaoxiao to sit down.
Then he instructed Hu Mantun: "Mantun, you go to the back kitchen and bring a few plates of snacks." ”
"Shopkeeper Huang, don't bother." Jiang Xiaoxiao's purpose today is to talk about cooperation, she glanced back at her younger brother: "My brother said that the shopkeeper Huang has something to talk to me about, I don't know what it is." ”
When it comes to business, Huang An also got serious.
The people in the cake shop made by Jiang Xiaoxiao have tasted it, before, they had never seen this kind of cake in Baili Town, Huang An asked: "I heard Jiang Ming say, the cake you make is called a mille-feuille cake, did you just do business in Baili Town?" ”
Otherwise, how could such a novel, delicious cake not be famous.
Jiang nodded slightly.
"You are Jiang Ming's sister, I won't go around the bend, just get straight to the point, we have to Yuelou, and we are thinking of opening in the morning, such as selling some cakes, so I want to buy the cakes you made directly, the price, we can talk about it again."
The cake is only sold for a penny, and if the price is resold to Deyuelou in batches, it will not be much money.
Jiang Xiaoxiao pondered for a few seconds, and then changed his words: "Shopkeeper Huang, that's the case, I just signed up for the competition in Yipinlou, and I'm worried about the ingredients, if you can provide me with the ingredients during my competition, during this period, I will give you the cakes every morning." ”
Ingredients are not a scarce thing for Deyue Tower.
Huang An's eyelids raised slightly, and he inadvertently turned the small hat on his head, a little surprised, he didn't expect Jiang Xiaoxiao to make such a request.
The ingredients for the competition are from their Deyue Building, if Jiang Xiaoxiao wins the first prize in the competition at that time, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving Deyue Lou a signboard.
Huang An thought for a moment: "Okay! Just do as you say! However, Jiang Xiaoxiao, our Deyuelou is not a big restaurant, and there are no scarce ingredients in the kitchen, but the common ingredients on the market are still complete. ”
"I know." Ginger Xiaoxiao also doesn't need many scarce and rare ingredients.
At the very least, with Deyuelou's back kitchen, she doesn't have to worry about the lack of ingredients and stoves.
Hu Mantun quietly pulled Jiang Ming and asked, "Did your sister really participate in the competition?" The chefs of our restaurant didn't participate, can your sister win? ”
Jiang Ming looked determined: "I believe in my sister!" ”
Here, Huang An confirmed again: "When will you use the back kitchen, come over directly, and tomorrow's cakes?" ”
"I'll send it." Jiang Xiaoxiao's head.
Unconsciously, Huang An also had some expectations for the cooking competition held by Yipinlou, not so much looking forward to the competition, but wanting to see Jiang Xiaoxiao's cooking skills.
——
The atmosphere of Deyuelou in Baili Town is harmonious, but Dayu Village is not so stable.
The princess over there got the village's consent, so she immediately grabbed the hunters in the village and forced the Jiang family together.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao is not here?" Mrs. Wang pulled the corners of her mouth, looked at Jiang Wu who was guarding the door of Jiang's house, she said: "Jiang Wu, since your Jiang family moved to our village, our village has never been born in peace, even the old god has said, a few cubs of your Jiang family have a hard life, this big insect in Xiaobai Mountain, you have to go up the mountain to resolve it, if you don't go, get out of our Dayu Village!" Our Dayu Village does not receive disaster stars! ”
"Calamity!!"
"Calamity!!"
Suddenly, the villagers behind Mrs. Wang shouted in unison.
The Zhao Wang family makes a living from hunting, and now that something has happened to Xiaobai Mountain, their family doesn't dare to go up the mountain to hunt anymore, she pointed at Jiang Wu's nose and scolded: "It's you little disaster stars!" We have never had a big insect in Xiaobai Mountain! It's all your fault! Get out of the village! ”
Jiang Wu was suppressed by the word Calamity.
Are they a scourge? Were their parents really killed by them?
Jiang Ruoqing's cry lingered in his ears: "Big brother, are we really a disaster star?" ”
