Chapter 294: A Hot Opening
When Jingzhen came out of the alley, the first thing he looked at was Yunji Breakfast Shop.
But there were too many people at the shop door, and he couldn't even see Baoya's small figure at a glance.
He walked quickly towards where the crowd was gathered. After taking two steps, a familiar figure suddenly came into his sight. He wanted to move sideways to blend into the crowd, but it was too late.
Grandma Yu and Qian Qiong were rushing down the street. When they looked up, they saw the young man standing under the tree.
"Qianqiong."
Grandma Yu stopped and looked in the direction where Jingzhen was standing with narrowed eyes.
She looked for a while, then raised her hand and pointed: "Can you help me take a look? That child..."
"Madam Yu?" Qian Qiong looked in the direction of her finger, but only caught a glimpse of a moonlit silhouette.
"It's nothing, my eyes are blurry and I saw it wrongly."
Grandma Yu waved her hand and said, "Let's go and take a look at the new shop. It's much more lively than the old shop."
"That's right," Qian Qiong was distracted by her thoughts. "I didn't expect that the old lady of the Yun family gave birth to three sons, and two of them are so good at business."
As they talked, they slowly squeezed into the crowd.
Only when the two figures disappeared from view did Jingzhen emerge from behind the tree and sigh softly.
Yu Yilu, the Shangfu of the Shangfu Bureau, was appreciated by the Empress Dowager and other concubines in the harem when she was in the palace in her early years.
He was once appointed by the Empress Dowager as the imperial clothing maker, making clothes exclusively for her, from daily wear, small clothes, shoes and socks to formal court robes, and phoenix crowns and robes.
His mother died of heavy bleeding during childbirth, so he was adopted by his father, the emperor, to Concubine Qi. When he was five years old, Concubine Qi was banished to the cold palace for offending the empress.
Before being taken out of the palace by Nan Xuan, he spent those three years in the cold palace with Concubine Qi.
At first, Concubine Qi just cried every day, blaming herself for offending the queen by adopting him, and ordered her maid to scold him all day long.
Later, Concubine Qi went crazy and no longer cared about him.
So for the past three years, he had basically had to find ways to get food and clothes on his own in order to survive in the cold palace.
The cold palace is cold in winter and warm in summer. He survived the harsh winter by relying on the cotton robe that Yu Yilu secretly gave him.
"Not going over?" Yun Chengfu's voice suddenly sounded from above his head.
Jingzhen came to his senses and found that Yun Chengfu had been standing in front of him without him knowing when.
He shook his head: "I have something else to do in the shop. Please tell Baoya, I'll leave first."
"Okay." Yun Chengfu didn't stay any longer.
Jingzhen nodded and turned to leave.
At the door of the Yun family breakfast shop, Baoya and Yun Sanlang scattered several bags of melon seeds and candies, their little faces flushed with smiles.
Yun Chengfu squeezed through the crowd and patted her on the shoulder.
"Brother?" Baoya turned her head and called him in surprise.
Yun Chengfu nodded: "Jingzhen said he had something else to do, so he went back first and asked me to tell you."
"Oh." Baoya responded without thinking much about it.
It must be something urgent, otherwise Brother Xiaojing would definitely come and tell her in person.
"Granny Yu! Aunt Qiong!"
Yunyue, who was standing at the door of the shop, spotted Grandma Yu and Qianqiong with her sharp eyes, and said excitedly while shaking Yunhua's arm next to her.
Hearing the voice, Baoya also raised her little hand and greeted Grandma Yu and Qianqiong.
Grandma Yu’s eyesight has recovered now and she can see people from a distance.
Seeing Baoya and the others greeting him, he smiled and waved his hand.
Baoya quickly said something to Yun Sanlang, and went to greet Grandma Yu and Qianqiong with Yunhua and Yunyue.
It was too noisy outside, so the three little girls asked the two of them to go to the backyard, where Zhao Zhilan and the others stayed and talked with them.
The firecrackers were set off and candies were scattered, and the business was officially opened.
As soon as Yun Dalang and Yun Sanlang announced the opening, the customers who had been waiting outside for a long time rushed in as if they were risking their lives.
Baoya took Yunhua and Yunyue and stood under a big tree not far from the shop. They felt it was incredible to see that their shop was surrounded in the blink of an eye.
"Looking at the way they are doing, I thought my breakfast was free today."
Yunyue said, "It's free, right? Buy breakfast and Hongdouxuan will give you half a pound of snacks for free. Only a fool wouldn't buy it."
Next to the breakfast shop, the same scene can be seen at Dalang’s tofu shop.
Many people couldn't get a chance to buy breakfast, so they went to the next door to buy tofu.
Even though Yun Dalang had made preparations and hired four people to grind beans in the backyard, and made no less than a thousand pieces, they were all sold out in the blink of an eye.
Yun Chengfu and Yun Chenglu were both stunned. They were afraid that everyone in Ping'an Town would come to buy it!
Three little sisters were talking here when they saw two figures, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, walking towards them from afar.
Looking closely, it was Lin Huarong and Zhang Shun.
I don't know how these two got together.
"Baoya! Your shop is great!"
Lin Huarong was still holding a chicken leg in his hand, his mouth full of oil from eating. As soon as he saw Baoya and the others, he shouted loudly.
"Young Master Lin, Brother Zhang Shun." Bao Ya called them politely.
Lin Huarong waved his hand, ignoring all that, and said excitedly, "I heard that if I buy breakfast from your place, Hongdouxuan will give me half a pound of snacks?"
Baoya nodded.
Lin Huarong's face lit up with joy. The Yun family's breakfast was delicious, and the dim sum at Hongdouxuan was also delicious. Buy breakfast and get dim sum for free. Is there such a good deal?!
The chubby little hand waved and said to the servant following behind him: "Rou Bao, hurry up! Buy me twenty breakfasts!"
Following behind him was a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dark and thin, which did not fit the name Roubao at all.
"Yes." He answered and was about to go and line up.
Yun Yue said coldly, "Master Lin, by the time you get in line, Baoya's breakfast will probably be sold out. You can only buy afternoon snacks."
"Tea snacks are fine too," Lin Huarong took a big bite of the chicken leg and chewed it with a smacking sound. "Meat buns, if you don't have breakfast, buy twenty snacks!"
Clouds and Moon...
Baoya: ...
"What if the snacks are sold out?" She looked at Lin Huarong's persistent look and was very curious.
Lin Huarong paused chewing and seemed a little stunned.
At this time, Yunhua said, "The tofu shop next door is also owned by the Yun family. Buy a pound of tofu and get half a pound of snacks for free."
Lin Huarong suddenly understood: "If you don't have any snacks, then buy some tofu. Twenty kilograms of it!"
Yunhua: ...
Jokes aside, after Lin Huarong finished chatting with the three sisters of the Yun family, he sat under a tree and concentrated on eating his roast chicken. The black meat bun stood in the crowd to queue for him.
Yunyue looked at Roubao's thin body and smacked her lips.
"Third sister, Baoya, I suspect that Fatty Lin has snatched away all the rice from these meat buns."
Fatty Lin?
Yunhua and Baoya looked at her together.
Yunyue scratched her head and smiled: "It's Lin Huarong. He's too fat, so calling him Big Fatty is easier to remember."
