The sun was sinking in the west, and the people at the door of the pastry shop were almost gone.

Cheng Qingwan finally had a moment to spare, and immediately sat down on the chair, shouting all the time: "No matter who comes today, I won't go into the kitchen." ”

From the morning until now, everyone has not had time to eat, and now they are hungry with their chests and backs.

Cheng Hua'er and Aunt Liu brought out a handful of noodles, and everyone greeted them in one go.

Song Qiaoqiao held the bowl and couldn't wait to take a bite.

She looked at the person sitting on the chair and didn't move, walked over and asked, "Let's go eat, what's the fuss?" ”

Cheng Qingwan sat up straight with her chair: "I'm thinking, how much money did we make today." ”

"After eating, let's just let Lian Zhi do the math." Cheng Hua'er put the noodles in front of her, and put an extra egg: "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded, sat up and ate seriously.

"Hostess, do you still have pastries?"

A woman's voice came from the door, Song Qiaoqiao subconsciously turned around, and almost jumped up when she saw someone.

"Sister Lobby!"

"Qiaoqiao, why are you here?"

Cheng Qingwan felt very familiar when she heard this voice, a bit like Zhao Di, and when she turned around, it was really her.

"Miss Cheng, you ...... You own this shop? ”

"yes, sit down."

Cheng Qingwan looked her up and down, although she was still wearing a cotton dress and a wooden hairpin, she looked a little fatter.

"Where are you and your sisters now?" Aunt Liu poured her a cup of tea and asked.

"We are now doing rough work in that embroidery building, the proprietress is good, including food and accommodation, and also arranged for us to learn embroidery, and paid ten cents every month."

Song Zhaodi's tone is now gentle, and there is more smile on her face.

"Fortunately, you are not at home now, the second aunt may have been a demon some time ago, and the neighborhood leaders couldn't sleep in the middle of the night." Song Qiaoqiao took her hand and said softly: "When we moved to the town, the second aunt still wanted Wan Wan to give her twenty taels of silver." ”

"I didn't give it." Song Zhaodi asked subconsciously, looked at the person in front of her and shook her head, before she continued: "It's okay if you don't give it, if you give it, you will come to you next." My aunt is insatiable and devours elephants. ”

Cheng Qingwan smiled and didn't continue the topic: "Why did you come here today?" ”

"The proprietress in the embroidery building said that there is a newly opened pastry shop here, which is cheap and delicious, let me buy some. The embroidery girls also like it, so I brought it. Song Zhaodi said with a smile: "It just so happened that Pandi and they were also hungry, so I came." I didn't expect this shop to be opened by you. ”

"We're all sold out today, whatever pastries you want, I'll make them for you."

As soon as these words came out, Song Qiaoqiao looked at her in surprise, after all, the sentence just now had not been said for long.

"Is it convenient?"

Cheng Qingwan ate the last two bites of noodles, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "It's convenient, there are still leftover dough and ingredients." ”

Song Zhaodi hurriedly smiled and reported the names of a few pastries: "These need two copies." ”

"Okay."

Cheng Qingwan responded, and then walked to the kitchen.

Song Qiaoqiao hurriedly followed in and sat in front of the stove to light a fire.

"You like Sister Zhaodi."

"Is there one?"

"Yes, have you forgotten what you said before eating?"

Cheng Qingwan said while working: "There is business sent to the door, why don't I do it?" ”

"Don't come, do you believe this?"

"I don't believe it." Cheng Qingwan rubbed her face and smiled: "The three of them have been living hard since childhood, and now they are living in the embroidery building. She bought the pastry back, isn't this just a wave of goodwill in front of the proprietress . Since we have known each other, we can help if we can, and it's not a big deal. ”

Song Qiaoqiao looked at the person in front of him, bent his eyes, and didn't say anything.

Cheng Qingwan quickly finished the pastry, and when she took it out, she deliberately explained the flavor.

"Thanks, how much?" Song Zhaodi took it and asked with a smile.

"Did they give you any money?"

"Not yet, you should give it to me when you go back."

Cheng Qingwan glanced at the money calculated by Lian Zhi and said, "A bag of pastries is twelve taels of silver, and now it is half the price for opening, so it is six taels of silver." There are a total of eighty-four texts here, you go back first, take the money from the embroidery girl first, and then give it to me. Otherwise, you have ten cents a month, and it's only been two months, where is there so much money. ”

Song Zhaodi hesitated for a moment and opened her mouth: "This, this is not very good." ”

"There's nothing bad, it's going to be curfew soon, you can go back quickly." Cheng Qingwan yawned, sleepy: "We have to get up early tomorrow, and now we are going to sleep soon." ”

"Okay, then I'll send the money tomorrow."

Cheng Qingwan nodded, sent the person out, and immediately closed the door.

She walked to the counter, and the whole family stared at Lian Zhi to settle accounts, and the atmosphere was silent.

"We earned four two or three hundred and thirty wen silver today, minus the ingredients we bought a few days ago, we also earned one or two or five hundred wen."

When Cheng Hua'er heard this, she immediately smiled: "This is a good start!" ”

"Yes, our pastry shop will definitely get better and better." When Aunt Liu heard this, she also smiled with relief.

Cheng Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in her chair: "It's good to make money, it's not in vain today." ”

Lian Zhi was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Yes, if the business is so good every day, then we will definitely be able to earn back the money for rent and furniture soon." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded, patted her shoulder, and yawned: "I believe, but my sister has to get up early tomorrow, and now she is so sleepy that she can't open her eyes, I have to go upstairs and go to bed first." ”

After saying that, with tears in her eyes, she went upstairs in three steps and two steps, and fell asleep on the bed.

On the second day, before dawn, I got up and prepared.

As soon as the hour arrived, put the pastries away, Cheng Hua'er opened the door, and after a while, several people walked in, standing in front of the counter without speaking.

"What do you want?"

As soon as Cheng Hua'er raised her head, her face suddenly changed: "Yo, what kind of wind is this, it blew you Song Da here, and the pavilion chief is willing to let you out of prison?" ”

Isn't the person standing in front of him Song Da, although she has lost a lot of weight, she can recognize this face when it is burned to ashes.

"It turned out to be you crazy woman, why can't you live at home without me, and you are working here with illness?"

Song Da looked up and down, looked at the pretty good storefront, and mocked.

Cheng Hua'er sneered: "Where can I have a good life with you, you don't have to worry about food and clothing in prison." ”

"Cheng, you shrew. You blame me for divorce and let people put me in jail......"

When Cheng Hua'er heard this, she glanced at him lightly: "Do you buy pastries or not?" If you don't buy it, don't take a place here, and the people behind you will have to buy it. ”
