Chapter 58: People from the capital

Cheng Qingwan looked at him and immediately coaxed, and pursed her lips, sure enough, she was afraid of bullying the weak.

Jinghou didn't have any mercy, but directly pulled people to the door to slap their mouths.

A large crowd soon gathered outside the door of the shop, and the couple was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and fled with their faces covered.

Cheng Qingwan looked at their backs and chuckled.

At this moment, the voice of the system sounded: "Congratulations, complete the task, get two thousand points, unlock the seed ginger, cabbage." You now have a total of 2211 points. ”

Cheng Qingwan walked back to the kitchen and said in her mind, "What's the next task?" ”

"The next task is to work hard to run the shop and earn five taels of silver a day. Reward points of 1000 to unlock seeds pumpkin, glutinous rice. ”

"Net profit?"

"Yes." Xiaoxiao responded, and then said, "Warm reminder, the pastries in your pot are ready." ”

Cheng Qingwan came back to her senses violently, took out the pastry, and said to Song Qiaoqiao: "Qiaoqiao, you send this out." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly put the dough into the pastry mold and put it piece by piece.

By the time Song Qiaoqiao came back, the second pot had already been steamed.

Two people stand in front of the stove, one kneading the dough and the other putting the dough into the mold.

At noon, the business of the pastry shop was still very good, and everyone was too busy to eat.

Cheng Qingwan and Song Qiaoqiao are okay, they can eat a piece of pastry in the kitchen to cushion their stomachs.

It's not so convenient for people outside, so it's not good to eat pastries in front of customers.

"Boss, your place is still too small, we don't have a place to sit." The guest stood in front of the counter and said.

Cheng Hua'er raised her head, and the seats were already full, so she explained with a smile: "Oh, I'm really embarrassed, business is better today." You'll have to wait a while to get your spot. ”

"No, I'll take the pastry back and eat it." The guest was joking, so he said with a smile.

Cheng Hua'er smiled and responded a few words before sending the person away, and the guests in the position shouted.

"Boss, don't you have any tea? We're here, so it's easy to choke on pastries. ”

Then the woman remembered that she did not give them water.

She couldn't stop the work in her hands, so she had to call Lian Song, who was acting as a junior at the door.

"Lian Song, you go to the kitchen to ask your sister Wanwan for tea."

"Okay."

Lian Song responded, hurriedly walked into the kitchen, and told Cheng Qingwan about it.

When Song Qiaoqiao heard this, she filled the teapot on the side with water and said, "Wanwan, Lian Song and I will take it out and come back in a while." ”

"Okay." Cheng Qingwan nodded, and the movements in her hands did not stop.

Throughout the day, the entire shop was packed.

Cheng Qingwan didn't walk out of the kitchen with the last pot of pastries until the time of the unitary, and as soon as she opened the curtain, she saw many guests standing in the lobby.

As soon as her pastries came out, everyone immediately smelled the fragrance and asked for a few packets.

Cheng Qingwan stood behind the counter and helped the woman make pastries together.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, the guests in the back asked, "Is this all there is to today?" Don't make pastries anymore? ”

"Don't do it, grandma, it's going to close." Cheng Qingwan glanced at her and said.

"And when are you going to open tomorrow?"

"Open the door at the right time."

Grandma nodded and didn't ask any more.

It was much faster for two people to make pastries together, and in a short time, all the pastries were sold out.

After the guest settled the bill, he was almost gone.

Cheng Qingwan saw that everyone was gone, and immediately found a chair and sat down: "Are we not going to discount tomorrow?" ”

"The day after tomorrow, it's three days before the opening." Song Qiaoqiao said while making tea on the side.

"One more day."

Cheng Qingwan yawned and propped her head to look at Lian Zhi to settle the account.

The abacus moved quickly, and after a while, today's accounts were settled.

"We have a total income of four, two or five hundred today."

Cheng Qingwan glanced at the account book and said with a smile: "It's more than yesterday." ”

Lian Zhi nodded with a smile and said, "There are many more people here today than yesterday, and I don't have time to turn my abacus." ”

"Then you have to practice, your sister Wanwan has been thinking about new pastries in the kitchen in the afternoon." Song Qiaoqiao said while taking it from Aunt Liu's hand.

Cheng Qingwan glanced at her with a smile: "Let's just have eight kinds of pastries, and one day the guests will get tired of eating them." ”

"And when are you going to make a new pastry?"

"When we don't discount and there are fewer people, I'll think about it again, now I just want to finish eating and sleeping."

Cheng Qingwan took the rice bowl, pulled hard, and quickly finished eating and went upstairs.

The rest of the people were also very tired, so they quickly packed up after eating and went back to the house to sleep.

In the next few days, even if the price was raised, business continued as usual.

Cheng Qingwan and Song Qiaoqiao stayed in the kitchen all day, and the firewood that was originally piled up on a wall was almost burned out after seven or eight days.

While it was time to make dinner, everyone sat down at the table to discuss.

"Lianzhi, how much silver does it cost to buy firewood?"

Lian Zhi thought for a while and said, "Firewood is thirty taels a load, so we have to buy thirty loads at a time, which is about one or two pieces of silver." ”

"One tael of silver for seven or eight days, how can you get four taels of silver a month, and it will cost forty-eight taels in a year." Cheng Qingwan rubbed her temples and said with a headache.

"There's another way, let's go to the mountains and chop wood."

"Chopping wood?"

Lian Zhi nodded and said, "We are still villagers in Songjia Village, and it is no problem to collect firewood in the back mountain." ”

Cheng Qingwan thought for a while and said, "That's okay, let's close the store for a day tomorrow, and then go to the mountains to pick up some firewood." ”

Cheng Hua'er walked out and heard this voice, and immediately said: "Lian Zhi, Qiaoqiao, and Lian Song went to collect firewood, and I, Aunt Liu, and you stayed in the store, so that both sides could take care of it." ”

Cheng Qingwan was the first to disagree, if this was the case, she would really not be able to step out of the kitchen tomorrow.

The next day, there were literally only three people left in the store.

She had been fighting for a long time last night, but everyone else agreed......

As she expected, on this day, she really didn't go out of the kitchen.

In the evening, Song Qiaoqiao and the others also came back with firewood.

Cheng Qingwan walked out of the kitchen, immediately found a chair to sit down, and slowed down for a while.

She propped her head and looked at Jing Hou, who suddenly appeared at the door, and pulled the people around her: "Qiaoqiao, go and call A-Niang, just say that Uncle Jing is here." ”

Song Qiaoqiao nodded and immediately walked to the courtyard.

Cheng Qingwan looked at him with a heavy face, and refused to go inside, so she said suspiciously: "Uncle Jing, come in and sit, I don't have a dog yet." ”

Jing Hou looked at her, his eyes hiding indescribable emotions.

"Wanwan, where is your aunt?"

"Qiaoqiao went to call, you are waiting here."

Jinghou didn't speak anymore and kept standing at the door.

Cheng Hua'er came out quickly, looked at the person standing at the door and asked suspiciously, "Why didn't he come in?" ”

Cheng Qingwan shook her head: "I don't know either." ”

Jinghou seemed to hear her voice, and immediately turned around and strode over: "I have something to ask you, you come with me." ”

It was the first time for Cheng Hua'er to see him with such a serious expression, and she was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to react.

Cheng Qingwan looked at it and hurriedly pulled the woman behind her: "Jinghou, is there anything you can't ask here?" ”

"yes, can't you ask here?" Song Qiaoqiao also saw that his face was too strange, so he was worried that the woman would be hurt.

Jing Hou stared at the eyes of the person in front of him, and said word by word: "Qing Wan's matter, do you really want me to ask here?" ”

When Cheng Hua'er heard this, she immediately came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Let's talk upstairs." ”

"Go to me, someone in the capital wants to see you."

Cheng Hua'er's face immediately turned pale, she pinched the hem of her clothes and nodded: "Okay." ”

"A-Niang, I'll go with you."

"No, you're waiting for me here." Cheng Hua'er said sharply: "Qiaoqiao, Lianzhi, you are optimistic about Wanwan, before I come back, I am not allowed to let her go out." ”

After speaking, he followed Jinghou out.

Cheng Qingwan looked at the backs of these two people, and for some reason she had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Jinghou brought people into the mansion and said softly: "Sister-in-law, the Cheng family has rehabilitated Zhaoxue, and now you are no longer the daughter of a criminal minister." ”

"Really?" Cheng Hua'er raised her head sharply and asked with red eyes.

"Yes, a few days ago, I sent someone back to the capital, inquired about the news, and confirmed that the emperor had issued an edict to exempt the Cheng family."

"I said that my father couldn't have committed treason, he must have been wronged." The woman immediately smiled, and there were tears in her eyes: "This is a good thing, why are you so serious?" ”

"The person I sent to the capital was known by the emperor, and he sent someone to follow him all the way to Huaxian County, and saw you and Wan Wan."

Cheng Hua'er's eyes flashed, and she pretended to be calm and said: "What can I do if I see it, the Cheng family is not guilty, I am now a woman from a good family, it is difficult for him to kill me for no reason." ”

"I'm not talking about that." Jinghou sighed, looked into her eyes, and asked seriously, "Sister-in-law, who is Wanwan's father?" ”

Cheng Hua'er pinched her sleeves tightly and said, "Her father has already been buried in the ground." ”

"These words... Seriously? Jinghou took her hand and asked again, "Is her father really in the ground?" ”

"Why do you ask?"

Jinghou let go of her hand and frowned: "I just want to confirm that Wan Wan is not the child of you and the emperor." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Hua'er was taken aback when she heard this: "I have a marriage contract with you, how can I do things like husband and wife with him, and also give birth to a child?" ”

"I know you will never do, but what Eunuch Cao said was too abnormal, so I almost called Princess Wanwan directly." Jinghou suppressed the emotions in his heart and took her hand.

Cheng Hua'er was just about to explain, when the door in the house opened.

Eunuch Cao, who was dressed in regular clothes, walked out and saluted the two: "Master Jinghou, Miss Cheng." ”

Jinghou nodded and motioned for him to be excused.

"I haven't seen the thirteen girls for a long time, I wonder if she's okay in the near future?"

Cheng Hua'er glanced at him lightly and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Far away from the capital, away from your master, I am naturally doing well." ”

Eunuch Cao was not annoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Today, Your Majesty asked me to take your mother and daughter back, and the thirteen girls should go back and pack up." ”
