Cheng Qingwan lowered her head and smiled, and just as she wanted to reply, a voice came from behind her.

"Is there not enough money?" When Jinghou came over, he heard it, and immediately ordered the attendants behind him: "Shide, go to the account and take a hundred taels of silver." ”

Cheng Qingwan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and hurriedly stopped the person: "Wait, Uncle Jing, I have enough money, don't bother." ”

"Is that enough?"

Cheng Qingwan nodded seriously: "It's enough." ”

Jinghou didn't say anything after hearing this, turned around and walked into the house.

Cheng Qingwan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed her head, and met the difference in Dr. Wu's face.

"Girl, do you know this Jinghou?"

"Forehead......" Cheng Qingwan's brain was spinning wildly, and she didn't know how to answer for a while: "The elders have a little old acquaintance with him." ”

Doctor Wu nodded, this answer was very reasonable, and he believed it.

"I'll send you back." Cheng Qingwan led the people to the backyard and drove the carriage back to send them back.

When she returned home, seeing that Jinghou hadn't left yet, she was stunned for a moment, pulled Song Qiaoqiao next to her and asked softly, "Where is A-Niang?" ”

"Hiding in the back kitchen, saying I'm going to make you dinner."

"Ah, then I'll take a look." Cheng Qingwan turned around and walked to the backyard, looking at the light in the kitchen, she walked in.

Under the faint candle flame, the woman sat on the chair and was distracted, and the lid of the pot was fluttering all the time.

Cheng Qingwan hurriedly walked over and lifted the lid of the pot, looked at the small balls inside, and said with a smile: "Auntie, why did you think of making Lantern Festival tonight?" ”

Cheng Hua'er came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Thinking that you haven't eaten the Lantern Festival in the capital, I made a little for you to taste." ”

Cheng Qingwan smiled, filled a bowl of Lantern Festival, and walked to the chair next to her with the bowl to sit.

"I see Uncle Jing sitting outside, why don't you take a look?"

"There's nothing to see, he'll sit down and leave."

"The yard opposite our house has moved people in today, and more than a dozen carriages are all loaded with things, and now they are estimated to be parked at the intersection." Cheng Qingwan said while eating the Lantern Festival: "When I brought the doctor back, I recognized the person in the carriage, guess who." ”

When Cheng Hua'er heard this, she immediately chuckled: "It's you Uncle Jing." ”

"A-Niang is wise, you can guess it."

"I can see this probe by a few people in the shop opposite, so I still need to guess." Cheng Hua'er leaned back on the chair and straightened her face: "Wanwan, the carpenter sent all the furniture over today, and our shop is almost furnished." I also went to ask about the auspicious day of the zodiac, saying that the fifteenth day of this month is the best day, what do you think? ”

Cheng Qingwan put down the dishes and chopsticks and thought for a while: "Has Su Yunwei been here?" ”

"I haven't been here, what's wrong?"

"I originally thought that by taking advantage of the full moon ceremony, I would push out the pastries before the opening, but since I haven't been here, forget it, we can also push out the pastries, and we will open on the 15th."

Cheng Hua'er nodded: "The full moon ceremony in the Pavilion Chief's Mansion is indeed full of people, and those who do business in the town and have some money are not all in a hurry to go to the knot, so that most of the people in the town have gone." If our pastries can be served, everyone will definitely ask, and as soon as you and Master Yuan answer again, this reputation will indeed be out. ”

Cheng Qingwan responded with a smile and comforted softly: "It's okay, our pastries are so delicious, we can still make a name for ourselves." ”

The woman nodded, looking at Yuanqi, who still had most of the cauldron, and fell into deep thought.

"You've done a lot of Lantern Festival tonight, are you planning to let Lianzhi and them come to have supper together?" Cheng Qingwan looked at her face and asked with a smile.

"Ah, no, I just knead too much, besides, it's not enough."

Cheng Qingwan looked at her uncomfortable face and smiled: "Auntie, I know you are going to send it to Uncle Jing, go quickly, lest people leave when the time comes." ”

Cheng Hua'er hesitated for a moment, then stood up and put the Lantern Festival into a bowl and put it on the table: "Wanwan, you go." ”

"Huh?"

"I said it to death last night, what's the matter with sending Lantern Festival today."

Cheng Qingwan looked at the twisting of the person in front of her, and began to wonder for a while: "Auntie, I've been busy all day today, and my legs are weak, just let me rest." Otherwise, I'll let Lianzhi send it? ”

"Let Lianzhi go, he has to go out and call, this time, he won't know what I'm thinking. Forget it, I'll go by myself. ”

Cheng Hua'er underestimated softly and took the Lantern Festival out.

Cheng Qingwan hurriedly put down the bowl, quietly followed, and walked to Qiaoqiao's side: "He's been sitting?" ”

"yes, I've been sitting and drinking tea."

Cheng Hua'er put the Lantern Festival in front of him and said softly: "I heard that you haven't eaten dinner yet, and it just so happened that Wanwan couldn't finish it alone, so I filled a bowl for you." ”

Jinghou was a little flattered, and hurriedly took the bowl and tasted it: "Your craftsmanship is still so good." ”

"The last time you ate it, you complained that the little whites in your house didn't eat it."

"You...... Remember? Jinghou paused, and hurriedly explained: "Sister-in-law, I said nonsense that time, the Lantern Festival you made is better than the imperial dining room." ”

Cheng Hua'er laughed lightly when she heard this.

Cheng Qingwan looked at this scene, waved her hand at everyone, and motioned for them to go upstairs first.

He pulled Song Qiaoqiao to the backyard: "Jinghou has to make some contribution after eating the Lantern Festival, let's take out the pastries and let him taste them, and see if they are similar to those in the capital." If it's about the same, let's open a branch in Beijing in the future. ”

"You saw that Jinghou's Lantern Festival was almost finished, and I was afraid that the two of them would have nothing to say, so I sent some pastries to hook up my memories."

Cheng Qingwan turned her head to look at her in shock, and almost burst into dirty words: "You are the roundworm in my heart, right?" ”

Song Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes, took out flour and noodles and said: "I don't understand you either, some people are wary of everyone around their mothers every day, and they are afraid that they will be forgotten if they have multiple stepfathers and add a younger brother and sister." What about you, after this Jinghou appeared yesterday, your face was full of words that you wanted to see the excitement, what did you think? ”

"How do you know that I didn't watch out for him, I stopped him, but I didn't succeed. Besides, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, what can I do. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if you hid the jade pendant last night, or didn't tell Aunt Cheng about it, I will believe what you just said."

Cheng Qingwan took the pastry out of the mold, and the lie was exposed, and she was extremely embarrassed: "Oh, see through it or not, the most basic truth." ”

"Okay, then I'll ask you, do you really want to have more stepfathers?"

Cheng Qingwan's movements in her hand stopped, thought about it carefully, and then said, "This is not a bad thing, let it be." ”

She raised an eyebrow at the girl in front of her and put the cake in the pot to steam.

Song Qiaoqiao listened to this, lowered her head and muttered softly: "If only you could think like this." ”

Cheng Qingwan heard this, and heard Cheng Hua'er say in the past that a matchmaker introduced a man to Aunt Liu, but I don't know why it was all yellow, so it seems that Song Qiaoqiao should have a credit.

By the time the pastries were served, Jinghou had already talked about the engagement banquet from childhood.

"I'll just say where the fragrance comes from in the middle of the night, it turns out to be you."

Jinghou looked at the girl in front of him lovingly, and said with a smile.

"Since you have eaten my mother's Lantern Festival, you have to try the pastries I made to see if I can go to the capital to open a branch."

Jing Hou looked at the fragrant crystal cake in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "What kind of cake is this, why have I never seen it?" ”

Cheng Hua'er glanced at her daughter and said with a smile: "This is the crystal cake made by Wan Wan, do you taste it?" ”

Jinghou tasted a piece, and as soon as he entered his mouth, a trace of surprise flashed on his face: "This pastry is very delicious, I have never eaten it before, is it unique to Huaxian?" ”

"No, this is what Wan Wan figured out herself." Cheng Hua'er also took a piece of pastry and said.

"Your daughter is really as capable as you."

Cheng Qingwan listened to this sycophancy, and almost couldn't help laughing: "You haven't said that my pastry will go to the capital to open a branch, is it qualified enough." ”

"Of course it's qualified, it just so happens that I still have a few shops under my name, and you can open a few branches in the capital." Jinghou smiled at the woman's hesitant face and said, "Don't worry, if you go to the capital, I will definitely keep you safe." ”

Cheng Hua'er smiled and tapped her daughter's forehead: "She's joking, you didn't hear it." ”

Cheng Qingwan patted the flour on her sleeve and said with a smile: "A-Niang's eyes are sharp-eyed, I won't mix blindly here, I have to go to sleep with Qiaoqiao." ”

After speaking, he pulled Song Qiaoqiao upstairs and entered the room.

"I discussed with A-Niang, and we are scheduled to open on the fifteenth of this month."

"There are four days left, can we make it?"

Cheng Qingwan thought for a while, and then said: "The furniture has been delivered, and the rest is left to buy materials, and it must be too late." ”

"Okay, as long as you think it's in time, that's fine."

Cheng Qingwan just wanted to ask what it meant, and immediately reacted.

Just opened, the main force of making pastries must be himself, Qiaoqiao and Lianzhi are working on the side.

"There are not many people who just opened, so I don't need to do a lot."

"That's not for sure, didn't we discuss a few days ago that the whole venue would be half discounted on the opening day, and the discount was only six cents a pack of pastries, and I would definitely buy it and try it if you wanted me."

Cheng Qingwan sat on the bed, took a breath of cool air, and thought carefully for a while: "In this way, tomorrow you and Lian Zhi will go to the kitchen to make a pastry, and I will see if you really can't make it." ”

"You forgot my chestnut cake?"

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Qingwan immediately remembered the chestnut cake that had not been made, which was really unexpected by her.

"That ...... Branch"

"Cloud Cake."

The two said this sentence in unison, Lianzhi's cloud cake is either very sweet or very light, and Song Qiaoqiao's chestnut cake has a fight.

"I'm a little confused, Lianzhi has lived in a rich family since he was a child, and I understand that he can't cook. What about you, why wouldn't you? ”
