Chapter 437: Nuobao's Deceitful Mouth
Seeing this, Ah Li immediately asked people to prepare the carriage.
He was afraid that if he was a little later, the little fat girl would trample the land of Longxuan Palace.
At this time, the West Street in front of Guihua Lane in the city was bustling with people.
Feng brought the whole family and invited Mrs. Xiao and her mother-in-law, and they had already sat down in the dining room.
"Don't say it, your family picked a good location." Mrs. Xiao had a keen eye.
She looked at the people coming and going on the street and nodded in praise, "Osmanthus Alley is the largest alley in the capital, and it is next to the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy. If you open a shop here, you will have no worries about business."
Feng smiled and said, "I don't worry about these things. It's all handled by the second son's wife. I, as a mother-in-law, can also be lazy and be a hands-off manager."
Old Mrs. Xiao sighed, "I would like to enjoy a peaceful life, but unfortunately there is no one in the family who can stand up. Business and things on the farm are all inseparable from me, an old woman."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao also showed a little shame, bowed her head and twisted her fingers.
Fortunately, at this time, Li Qiqiao brought goat milk tea, and added red beans and turtle jelly to it, interrupting the boring chat. The mother-in-law
and daughter-in-law of the Xiao family took a sip, and both showed surprise on their faces.
This condiment was sweet but not greasy, and very palatable.
They drank more than half a bowl in one breath.
After wiping her mouth, Mrs. Xiao looked at Chun Ge'er who was playing with his hands not far away, and her heart itched. She couldn't help thinking about Xiao Nuobao.
"By the way." Mrs. Xiao leaned over and asked, "I don't know when Nuobao came out of the palace. I haven't seen her for some days. My heart is like fried in oil."
As soon as the voice fell, a crisp bell-like voice came -
"Mom, you are all here~"
"Grandma Xiao is here too! Grandma Xiao, Nuobao is here, did you miss me~"
Everyone turned around and saw the white and chubby little Nuobao, who was running in sweat, showing his little white teeth towards the house.
"Just mention Nuobao, and here comes Nuobao!" Old lady Xiao's eyes lit up with joy, and she was about to hug her.
Little Nuobao ran so fast that he got there first and threw himself into her arms.
"Grandma Xiao, I haven't seen you for a few days. Woohoo, have you forgotten Nuobao?" Little Nuobao climbed onto the old lady's knees, pouted his little mouth, and acted coquettishly on purpose.
Who wouldn't love such a sweet and clingy little baby?
Old lady Xiao's heart was softened by her, but she still covered her chest and complained to her.
"Don't blame Grandma Xiao, I've been to your house several times, and my legs are almost thin, but I didn't see you at home, but you want to make me, an old woman, suffer." Old lady Xiao felt wronged.
Xiao Nuobao smiled so hard that her cheeks puffed up. She quickly gave her a kiss to comfort her.
"Grandma Xiao, you don't know, I miss you too. Look, my arms and legs have become thinner. It's all because I miss you so much~" When it comes to talking nonsense, the little girl can be said to be talking nonsense.
But if you look closely at her chubby little arms, there is no sign of thinness at all.
Everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. It's really Xiao Nuobao's mouth, a liar, who can deceive anyone he can!
Feng stretched out her hand and pinched her calf, and said with a sigh, "Come on, don't think that just because your mother is at home, I don't know how you live in the palace."
"Ali often comes to our house and talks about what you do every day. I heard that yesterday at noon, you ate half a braised pork elbow by yourself, and the night before yesterday, you ate a big bowl of fried noodles with half a plate of braised beef. Can you lose weight by eating like this?"
Being exposed by her mother all of a sudden, and her gluttony was exposed, the little Nuobao was so angry that she put her hands on her hips to protest, and her little mouth was pouted so much that an oil bottle could be hung on it.
"Stop talking, mother, how can you expose your own daughter~" She grabbed a piece of crab meat crisps and was about to cover Feng's mouth.
Seeing her anxious look, Old Lady Xiao and Madam Xiao all burst into laughter, envying Feng's good fortune to have such a lively little girl.
After enough fun, little Nuobao finally remembered the serious things.
Oh, she came to show her support to her second sister-in-law~ Where is the second sister-in-law!
The little girl jumped down and ran to the water shop.
The Jiang family's water shop and food house are opened together, separated by only a wall.
Li Qiqiao was guarding the shop, having prepared a lot of ice cubes, milk tea, and cooked black pearls, turtle jelly, red beans, glutinous rice and other small ingredients in advance, just waiting to sell them at a discount.
There was also a sign hanging next to the water shop, called "No coincidence, no tea", which is a good name with a double entendre.
Seeing her sister-in-law coming, the disappointment between Li Qiqiao's brows finally dissipated.
"Come here, Nuobao, tell your second sister-in-law what you want to drink, and she will make it for you."
Little Nuobao looked around and realized that the ingredients prepared by her second sister-in-law had not been touched, which showed that there were no customers at all.
In the hot summer, people prefer to drink some agarwood thirst water or sour plum soup instead of sticky milk tea.
Their newly opened milk tea shop was not known to everyone, and they just thought it was an ordinary goat milk tea, so naturally they were ignored.
"Why are there no people?" Little Nuobao stood there, a little confused.
Li Qiqiao sat down and said patiently, "Everyone has never drunk our soup with small ingredients, and they don't know that we can add ice to relieve the heat. It's normal that we can't attract customers for a while."
She was still very confident.
As long as you persist for a few days and make the water shop familiar to everyone, business will naturally come slowly.
But Xiao Nuobao is impatient.
Since it is a good thing, it would be a waste to waste one more day!
Her little brain worked quickly, and she thought of a way.
"Second sister-in-law, wait for me!" Xiao Nuobao pulled Ali up, whispered for a while, and the two got on the carriage and rushed out like arrows.
Not long after, a group of big masters came to the water shop in a heroic and high-spirited manner!
Thirty to fifty people came at once, which scared Li Qiqiao. After a closer look, they were all soldiers from the Liaodong Camp.
"This..." Li Qiqiao looked at Xiao Lanyi with eyes wide open.
Xiao Nuobao laughed proudly, "Second sister-in-law, this is the helper I found for you. Let Xiao Guoguo bring some people to help you attract customers."
The Liaodong Camp was not busy at the moment, and the soldiers also wanted a chance to go out.
"Don't be polite, Mrs. Jiang, we can go out for some fresh air and have something delicious to drink, which is what we want."
These rough guys were so happy that they pretended to be so!
They stood in front of the water shop, forming a long line, like a long dragon.
The few people at the end of the line were even more eager to squeeze into other people's shops, and they deliberately pushed and shoved each other, pretending to be angry.
When Li Qiqiao served them goat milk tea, they rolled up their sleeves and drank loudly in the street.
"Oh my, why is this thing so cool? It's really good to drink it in the hot summer!"
"Oh my God, what's so delicious? Madam, I'll spend all my salary this month on it, it's worth it!"
Watching their exaggerated performances, Xiao Nuobao also felt itchy, so he rubbed his hands and hurried to join in!
She was holding a bamboo tube of goat milk tea, standing in front of the water shop, slurping and twisting to attract the attention of passers-by.
In the hot summer, a little fat girl wearing a pink and blue Luo shirt, carrying a small shoulder bag inlaid with jade beads, holding the milk tea tube tightly with a pair of small fleshy hands, drinking it was so cute.
How could passers-by not be tempted when they saw this? They took out their copper plates and joined the long queue in front of the water shop as if they were possessed!
