Chapter 106: Not a Supporting Role



[Written in the front, I took cold medicine yesterday and fell into a coma, so I neither took leave nor updated. I will report as much as I can! (These two lines will be filled in)]

Little Bear Girl hadn't been here for a few days, and when she came, she heard people cheating in the store.

Xianjin is doing well in business and it is hard for him to feel guilty now - when you have no morals, others cannot blackmail you morally!

Xianjin smiled, "If there weren't so many treasures, a girl like you who is used to seeing good things wouldn't come back as a repeat customer!"

After giving Miss Bear a plate of pine nuts, he turned around and told Aunt Du, "Give Miss Bear a cup of our new white peach almond green tea."

"Do you want to store it in the well?" Xianjin asked the little bear girl again.

Girls in later generations drink tons of ice water and ice drinks, but girls here are afraid of coldness entering their bodies, especially unmarried girls who don’t even drink water at room temperature, for fear that it will affect their fertility.

But... White Peach Almond Green Tea... It would be a shame if you don’t drink it ice cold!

Xianjin thought that the little bear girl would refuse, but she smiled and nodded calmly, "It sounds very refreshing and pleasant. Thank you for your trouble." She added, "I didn't have a full lunch at noon. Can you arrange some snacks and cakes for me?"

Xianjin smiled and said to Aunt Du, "Then bring another plate of crispy biscuits, a plate of small twisted dough sticks, and a small box of water-ground nine-grain cake."

Aunt Du took notes in a notebook.

Little Bear girl looked surprised, "The mother in your shop can actually read and write?"

Aunt Du was slightly sad and angry.

He couldn't recognize or write at first, but after being fined a lot of money, he was able to recognize and write - their boss made a board for deducting money for calligraphy practice. Before she came, Zhou Ergou was always ranked first; when she came, she saved Zhou Ergou invisibly, and he went from being the last to the second to last.

Manager Dong was very happy and praised her for being "selfless".

she:%……%*%&…

I am very angry!

She was exhausted from studying in the afternoon, and had to endure the mental abuse of her fellow interns when she returned to the store in the afternoon.

"Sister, I just tried three cups of tea, one with more white peach pulp, one with more tea soup, and one with a little brown sugar... Can you try it and see which one tastes better?"

Aunt Zhong didn't need to learn how to read, but she didn't take a nap either. She was as energetic as a monster that had just absorbed the energy from labor.

She said weakly: "Aren't you... tired?"

While recording the reviews of the new tea in a small notebook, Aunt Zhong was surprised. “Tired? How can I be tired? Working in the store is my happiest time!”

Aunt Du: ...

I hope Auntie Zhong can become a three-bar manager soon, and challenge Manager Dong... He is old, and he can resist the challenge. If he doesn't challenge him, he will retire!

No one could understand Aunt Du’s dark cries.

The little bear girl did not hide the surprise on her face.

Xianjin smiled and said, "I know a few words and have learned a few days of rough learning. It is enough for a small place like Jingxian. Compared with Xuancheng where you are, it is still far behind."

The little bear girl was slightly stunned, "How do you know I'm from Xuancheng?"

Xianjin half-knelt, "...You have been alone for the past few days, and at most you have a maid with you. If it were a local girl from Jing County, she would most likely come to our store with her friends to chat and kill time."

Xianjin looked up at the clock beside the well, and Aunt Zhong beside him said casually, "Today, Zuo Niang is going to pay her betrothal gifts. I wonder if she has finished the ceremony? When we close the shop, pack two boxes of cakes for her. She probably didn't have lunch yet."

Aunt Du brought tea and cakes at a constant pace. Little Bear girl stared blankly at the tea taken from the well. A circle of dense and fine water droplets oozed out of the edge of the teacup.

"Is it the girl with the round face who looks very lucky?" The little bear girl suddenly asked.

Xian Jinben turned around and was about to leave, but after hearing her words, he put away the knowing smile on his face, turned around, and said with a smile, "Do you still remember her? You have a good memory. She is not a clerk in our store, but a girl from the Chen family who occasionally comes to help."

The little bear girl pursed her lips and looked back at the yard.

"Look," the charges in the small courtyard are higher. A pot of tea costs 30 cents in the hall, but only 60 cents in the courtyard. The high price is matched by a more quiet environment, fewer customers, more refined decorations and more complete services in the courtyard.

Although the families in Jing County were not poor, they were not rich enough to spend sixty cents on a cup of tea.

Therefore, there are only one or two guests in the yard all year round.

One of them was Qiao Huahua, who was lying on her back eating free food.

Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month. Qiao Huahua has to practice calligraphy in seclusion and cannot come.

There was only Little Bear Girl in the whole yard.

"Not that I remember."

Little Bear girl said softly, "Lord Cui, who discussed marriage with her, is now discussing marriage with me."

Here it comes.

Xian Jinben stood up, but after hearing her say this, he squatted back down silently.

"Yeah?"

Xianjin reflected that the voice didn't sound very surprised, so he readjusted his mood, "Really!?"

The little bear girl lowered her eyes and glanced at Xianjin, and said with a smile, "The one in the display cabinet obviously guessed it, why do you have to use that tone?"

Xianjin opened his mouth.

The little bear girl leaned forward and pushed a bamboo chair in front of Dao Xianjin's body. A kind smile appeared on her usually calm face. "Are you not busy?"

Even if you are busy, you should still say you are not busy.

Xian Jinben doesn't have a gossipy heart - where did she gossip in her previous life? What medicine did the patient in the next bed take? Or was she gossiping about whether the doctor who would perform surgery on her tomorrow was pretty?

The flame of her gossip now was completely ignited by A Zuo and A Bo, a couple - these two gossip whenever they meet, and they have almost finished all the gossip in Jing County!

Xianjin quietly put on his apron and sat down.

The little bear girl smiled and said, "I want to ask you, how did your eldest daughter's marriage with Mr. Cui fall through?"

The word "化" is used very cleverly.

It's just a pile of bubbles to begin with. If you put it under the sun, won't it turn into water?

Xianjin tilted his head and thought about it. He was a little unsure about how well Miss Little Bear had grasped the situation, so he laughed and said, "That's it. It's been delayed for too long, and it just so happens that our master has become ill due to overwork in office... It's not an engagement in the first place, so this marriage will end in vain."

The little bear girl was not surprised that Xianjin swallowed eight out of ten words, and the remaining two were modal particles. She poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and praised, "It really tastes better after being stored in a deep well."

He smiled again, "You are indeed smart. Chen Ji is now thriving under your management. The book "Eighteen Foods in Jing County" published by the third master of the Chen family has even spread to Xuancheng Prefecture. Everyone loves to read it. Even the head of Qingcheng Mountain Court, Qiao Shanzhang, has a favorable eye for you..."

As Miss Bear spoke, she poured a cup of tea for Xianjin as well. "You are the head of the family in Jing County. I believe that you will not be a supporting role in the matter of the eldest daughter of the Chen family breaking off the engagement."
