Chapter 57 Dreams are sweet
At Fengchunlou, as soon as Xiao Jiuyue arrived, the shopkeeper Zeng Qing came over. When he saw Xiao Jiuyue, he was particularly enthusiastic. The one thousand taels of silver were well spent. Now the business of Fengchunlou is booming.
Therefore, Zeng Qing was also very much looking forward to the last two dishes.
"It seems that the eight dishes have received good response." Xiao Jiuyue didn't even need to ask any more questions. Just looking at the expression on Zeng Qing's face, she knew that the response was very good.
"Thanks to Miss Xiao." Zeng Qing smiled so much that his eyes narrowed. When he reported to his master during the New Year this year, his face was also shining!
"No, it's thanks to Shopkeeper Zeng's unique vision and good management that the business has prospered." Xiao Jiuyue said modestly. She brought the last two desserts. Zeng Qing looked at them again and again and asked uncertainly, "Is this also a dish?"
"Appetizer, main course, and dessert." Xiao Jiuyue brought out the words she had already prepared. "Manager Zeng, there are many wealthy ladies and daughters who come to eat at this restaurant, right? I guarantee they'll love these two dishes!"
Zeng Qing tried it first and thought he wouldn’t like sweet food, but he tried a steamed bun, which was sweet but not greasy, with thin skin and lots of fillings, and the taste was completely different from dumplings!
As for the taro and red bean tofu pudding, there are two flavors, one with milk and the other without. Zeng Qing couldn't tell the difference, but today his daughter Niuniu happened to come, so Zeng Qing served a bowl to his daughter.
Niuniu held the bowl and almost licked it clean. She licked her lips and asked, "Daddy, I want more food!"
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the adorable five or six-year-old Niuniu, squatted down, handed her a piece of jelly candy made of orange peel, and said, "Niuniu, how about trying this?"
Niuniu glanced at Zeng Qing and confirmed that it was edible. Then she took the orange peel candy. The orange peel candy, which was cut into thin strips, was sour and sweet. Niuniu took one bite after another and said, "Sister, it's delicious!"
Niuniu narrowed her eyes as she ate and said, "Thank you, sister."
Xiao Jiuyue touched Niuniu's chubby face and said, "Boss Zeng, now, our ten dishes are finally complete. I wish your restaurant a prosperous business."
"Miss Xiao, it's time for me to fulfill my promise." Shopkeeper Zeng paid the remaining six hundred taels of silver to Xiao Jiuyue in one lump sum.
Xiao Jiuyue held the banknote and said, "Shopkeeper Zeng hasn't learned how to make the remaining two dishes yet."
"Hahaha~" Shopkeeper Zeng laughed, stroking his beard and said, "I trust Miss Xiao's character. In the future, if there are more delicious dishes..."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at him with a half-smile: "Manager Zeng, why don't you think carefully about the cooperation I proposed earlier?"
After saying that, Xiao Jiuyue didn't hesitate to put away the banknotes and left without even having lunch. She still had to find Tang Tian and send the new snacks over as soon as possible.
How much money she can get from the 30% profit at the candy shop depends entirely on these snacks and the event plan she made.
"Miss, look, there's a new music store over there, called... Zhiyin Pavilion?" Lianxin lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the Zhiyin Pavilion. It was very lively with dragon and lion dances.
"Let's go another day." Xiao Jiuyue took a look and got a headache at the thought of playing the piano. It would be great if she not only inherited the original owner's memory, but also the original owner's physical instincts!
pity!
Xiao Jiuyue thought of the handwriting. Her handwriting and the original owner's were both written in small regular script with flowers on the hairpin. The original owner's handwriting was like the shadows of fairies, with its own style and confidence between the lines.
Her hairpin-shaped calligraphy was as neat as if it had been copied and pasted. During this period of time, she imitated the original owner's handwriting and finally made some progress.
Without more than ten years of hard practice, even if she had the original owner's memories, it would take her at least half a year to learn even a little bit of the piano.
"Miss..." Lianxin wanted to say that Miss used to play a song every day, but now she hasn't heard her play the piano for a long time. However, seeing that Xiao Jiuyue didn't mean to do so, she immediately shut up.
The teahouse opposite the candy shop.
The servant trotted over to the man drinking tea and said, "Master, look, Miss Tang is here."
The man was about to stand up when he sat back down. He opened his folding fan and looked over quietly: "Didn't they say that only Miss Tang was here? Why is her brother here too?"
"Master, I, I don't know either." The servant looked helpless. How could he know that Miss Tang always came alone every time, but today there were two people coming?
The servant rolled his eyes and whispered, "Master, how about we wait a little longer? Who knows, maybe the Second Young Master Tang will leave soon?"
"That's better." The man glared at him, as if reprimanding him for not getting the right information. He quietly put down the fan and stared at Tang Tian's sweet face with burning eyes.
The second sister also suggested that she marry the girl from the Xiao family in Shengjing. If she was really pretty, would she travel thousands of miles from Shengjing back to Hongdu?
"Brother, can you go back? This is my candy and snack shop. As a man, how can others have the nerve to buy my candy?" Tang Tian had been persuading him all the way, but Tang Jing insisted on following her to meet Xiao Jiuyue.
"Tiantian, I think you were deceived. They said a few nice words to you, and you gave away 30% of the shop's profits and ordered 20,000 kilograms of canned oranges. Tiantian, are you stupid?"
If they weren't on the street, Tang Jing really wanted to reach out and poke her head. He said, "I'm your second brother, you have to listen to me."
"Second brother, you were born a quarter of an hour earlier than me!" Tang Tian frowned as she listened to him and said, "Sister Xiao wouldn't lie to me. Didn't you eat the canned oranges yesterday? They were delicious, weren't they?"
"It's delicious, but it's not worth a 30% profit." Tang Jing sighed and said, "You must have been cheated!"
"Second brother!" Tang Tian stomped her feet in anger. No matter how she tried to convince him, she couldn't, so she could only glare at Tang Jing angrily.
In the teahouse opposite, the man looked at Tang Tian infatuatedly and murmured: As expected, even when she is angry, she is still so beautiful. Those pouty lips, are they also sweet when kissed?
Xiao Jiuyue's carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the candy shop. Tang Tian ran out from the alley next to it. She was extremely happy when she saw Xiao Jiuyue and said excitedly, "Sister Xiao, I'm finally glad to see you. Did you bring any delicious snacks today?"
Tang Tian's eyes fell on the food box held by the maid behind her. If she hadn't been quick to grab the canned oranges from yesterday, she would not have had any share!
In the end, she ate up all the sugar water and almost licked the bowl. Last night, she dreamed that Xiao Jiuyue brought a lot of snacks that she had never seen before. The dream was all sweet!
"I brought ten kinds of snacks, you can try them later!" Xiao Jiuyue felt an unfriendly gaze, and following the gaze, she saw Tang Jing in brocade clothes.
"Sister Xiao, let me introduce you. This is my second brother, Tang Jing." Tang Tian immediately introduced him, touching Tang Jing's clothes while explaining with a smile: "My second brother really likes canned oranges, so he came here to see who made them."
After Tang Tian finished speaking, she silently praised in her heart: She is so smart!
