Chapter 83
After a minute or so, the older man came over with a wooden tray containing four small plates containing the meat of the special offering, as well as two smooth-cut bamboo skewers.
Wu Ya saw these small dishes, felt the saliva secreted quickly in her mouth, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva, "Last time, I thought it was a masterpiece, but I didn't expect this time it to look even better." ”
"It's really an honor for the girl to say this, the store has been open since the store, for the special meat, are in line with the attitude of getting better than one time, this is also one of the twelve store mottos of the store, to get the girl's approval, the master will be very happy." The man was humble and thanked him.
"Master? Then this shop motto is set by your master? Although Wu Ya was curious about this store before, she didn't want to ask about it this time, but when she heard what the guy said, it aroused her curiosity again.
"Yes, this store motto has been set by the master since the store opened, and it has been increased or decreased since then, but these twelve store mottos have not changed since the son."
Wu Ya was a little puzzled when she heard this, "I have heard of this shop for more than 100 years, so ...... this master?"
"This shop was opened by the master 117 years ago."
"I see." It turned out that the owner was the founder of this store, and when the point was over, Wu Ya no longer asked, but changed the topic, "It's been very hot recently, has your store's busy time been postponed to the evening?" ”
"That's right."
"Then why don't you open the door earlier in the morning? In addition to after the evening, there are many people who go out early in the morning. "If she opens the door early in the morning, she can take advantage of the time to go out to buy snacks.
"This store has also been considered, but during this period of time, the store is open every day until the ugly time, and when the store is cleaned up, it will be close to the end of the day, if the door is opened in the early morning, the guys don't have enough time to rest, and then increase the number of people, and then wait until late autumn to dismiss the guys."
Wu Ya nodded clearly, "What you said is that although the early morning is much cooler than after the evening, it's a pity that it's too early." Alas, this weather, the day makes people drowsy, I just thought that only when I listen to some unpleasant gossip can I cheer up, but just now I heard you say this, but it makes me more energetic than before, and I have gained some knowledge, if Xiang meets customers after they are all like you, then it is not impossible to prosper for another hundred years. ”
The slightly older guy put on a smiling face, "The girl has won the award, and the gift of hospitality is also the store motto of the store, and those who violate the store motto will never be in the store again." I'm older, but I'm just following the store rules like the rest of the guys. ”
Wu Ya smiled, "Of these four kinds of meat, I want two bags of each No. 3 bag, and I'll take it with me now." ”
"Okay, you wait a minute." After saying that, the slightly older guy left to prepare.
After a while, the guy came back and told them that the things were ready, the two went to the checkout, Li Yu stopped Wu Ya and paid the silver, Wu Ya didn't fight with him anymore, but let him go, Wu Ya looked around when he had nothing to do, and stopped when his eyes turned to a corner, there, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man in brocade clothes, said something to the tall and thin man in front of him with an unkind face, the thin man had a flattering look on his face at first, turned to surprise for a moment, and then brought some unwillingness, and then his face was full of begging, Seeing that he bent his knees, it seemed that he was going to kneel, she knew the two people, one was the shopkeeper she had seen last time, and the other was the guy who was gossiping before, Wu Ya looked away, what they said, she could also hear some intermittently.
"What are you looking at?" Li Yu paid the money and saw Wu Ya on the side looking around.
"It's nothing, just look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging in this shop." Wu Ya turned around.
"The second shopkeeper said that the big shopkeeper gave us two more bags." Li Yu pointed to the two No. 3 bags on the counter that were not placed with the other bags.
"Oh?" Wu Ya looked at the two bags, and then at the chubby second shopkeeper.
"This is a little bit of the meaning of our store, one bag is our special jerky, and the other bag is our homemade three-color cake." The second shopkeeper smiled, and his eyes narrowed into a beautiful crescent.
"Thanks, then we'll take it." Wu Ya smiled, put a bag into the bag, held the bag in her hand, and turned her head to look at Li Yu, "I'll leave the rest to you." ”
"Why don't you have it delivered to the house by our store?" The second shopkeeper saw that Li Yu's face was not very good, and hurriedly asked.
"No, not much anyway, right?" Wu Ya looked at Li Yu with a sunny smile.
“…… Right. As he spoke, Li Yu picked up the cuboid-shaped paper bag on the counter without a lid in one hand. In fact, there are really not many, eight bags, 7.2 kilograms, and they are all packed into a large paper bag, which is convenient to take away.
"Goodbye, shopkeeper." Wu Ya nodded to the second shopkeeper in the counter, looked at the big shopkeeper, and happened to be the big shopkeeper also looking at them, so she also nodded.
As soon as she went out, Wu Ya opened the umbrella, and this time she deliberately got the umbrella handle, raised her hand, and easily covered Li Yu under the umbrella.
"I'll do it anyway." Li Yu reached out and held the umbrella pole.
"You have something, I'll do it." Wu Ya looked up at him and didn't let go.
"I'll have enough of this with one hand."
Wu Ya looked at him without speaking, and did not let go.
"Your umbrella is too short, and I'm uncomfortable."
"Okay then." Wu Ya pouted a little frustratedly and let go of her hand.
"I'll take you to Xiaojuejue, how about it?" Li Yu adjusted the position of holding the umbrella.
"Hmm."
In fact, the two of them walked in the direction of Xiaojueju when they came out of the store.
When the two of them left Xiaojueju, the sun was a little more restrained, Wu Ya walked beside Li Yu with satisfaction, Xiaojueju's pastries were really good. Smacking the lips, but today's food is all sweet, look down at the paper bag in your hand, smack your lips, reach out to untie the knot on the bag, the bag is special, the edge of the bag mouth is wearing a thick line, pull the thick line at both ends, the bag will be tightened and closed, when you want to open, untie the knot, pull the loose rope on it. First took out a strip of jerky and put it in his mouth, then took out another one, looked up and asked, "Is it coarse?" ”
Li Yu looked at her with the jerky in her mouth, the satisfaction in her eyes couldn't be hidden, she bent over, bit the jerky in her hand, straightened up, and looked at her with a smile.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and several passers-by looked at them with gossip on their faces.
When she arrived at the back door of the Xia Mansion, Wu Ya rejected Li Yu's idea of sending things to her house, and took the big paper bag and stepped into the door. Because I haven't eaten for a while, I just ate some dinner, and then according to the arrangement of the steward, I started to work, until the beginning of the morning to rest, Wu Ya counted the ingredients with a few kitchen handymen, and when it was time to rest, Wu Ya touched her stomach, she was hungry, but remembered that there was meat bought today in the room, and suddenly she had a spirit again, but after a while, a small house walked into the kitchen and told Wu Ya that someone was looking for her at the back door.
Wu Ya was a little confused, not knowing who would come to her at this time.
"Girl, go back to the house to rest after you go, anyway, we're almost over." An older handyman finished speaking and looked at the others.
"Yes, we're almost done too, so you can go first." The rest agreed with the older man.
Wu Ya hesitated, "That'...... I'll go first, I'll trouble you. ”
"It's okay, let's go."
Wu Ya came to the back door with a mind full of doubts, and a man dressed in light gray and short brown was standing outside the door. After asking, I found out that this person was Xiao Juejue's buddy, someone ordered pastries and asked them to be sent to Xia Mansion to the girl in the backyard, but no matter how Wu Ya asked, the person just didn't say who ordered it, helplessly, Wu Ya could only repeatedly confirm with him whether it was sent to the wrong place, and in the end, Wu Ya still accepted the three-layer exquisite food box containing the pastries. He looked thoughtfully at the food box on the small table. The top layer is filled with two kinds of signature dim sum from Xiao Juejue, three plum-flavored pastries in the middle layer, and three freshly launched pastries in the bottom layer, which are placed in a large dish with ice cubes to maintain the temperature of the pastries. Wu Ya leaned her elbows on the table, rested her chin on her palm, frowned for a while, and sighed softly.
