Chapter 302: It turns out that I came to her house for tea
He Chunxiu stood at the door of her shop and looked out. Naturally, the little maid saw her at a glance.
He said anxiously, "Sister, please save me!"
In fact, even if she didn't say it, He Chunxiu would not just sit there and watch.
But she was already four or five months pregnant, and it was not convenient for her to go forward and help the baby by herself, so she turned around and called Lan Xiang and Cui Qiao to the shop for help.
Lan Xiang and Cui Qiao rushed over upon hearing the noise, and hurried forward to help the little maid to lift up the woman who had fainted on the ground.
"Let's help the man to the backyard to rest first." He Chunxiu said, and followed a few people into the shop.
The space in the shop was really limited, with only one room in the backyard, which was used to store food. He Chunxiu thought about it and asked Cuiqiao to move out the rocking chair she usually sat on and put it in the yard so that the woman could lie down first.
The woman's eyes were tightly closed, and her delicately painted face was flushed. It was obvious that the sun was too strong outside and she must have fainted from the sun.
"Your wife doesn't go out often, does she?" Lan Xiang took out a palm-leaf fan from somewhere and handed it to the little maid.
The little maid thanked him gratefully, took the palm-leaf fan and started fanning the woman.
"To be honest, my three sisters, this is the first time my wife has gone out since she came into the mansion over two years ago. Sigh...it's my fault for not being well prepared. In the hottest days of summer, she actually got a heat stroke and fainted outside."
"I'm really grateful to my three sisters today, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
"We have just caught up. I will help if I can. No need to thank me." He Chunxiu said, looking at the two people in front of him and feeling that they looked unfamiliar.
Before the Yun family opened a shop in Ping'an Town, she didn't come to the town often, so she didn't know the people in the town.
However, this shop has been open in Ping'an Town for almost a year. Even if some famous merchants in the town don't know them, they are familiar with them. However, they have never seen the two people in front of them.
"Are you new in town?" she asked.
When asked about her background, the little maid paused, but quickly pursed her lips and said, "No. We are from the nearby Caiyun Town."
"My wife heard there's a shop in this town that serves both breakfast and snacks, and the food is really good, so she wanted to come and try it."
As soon as she said this, Cuiqiao's eyes lit up and she said happily, "Hey, what a coincidence, isn't it? The shop you mentioned is ours!"
They sell both breakfast and snacks, and there is only one Yunji breakfast shop on Nanjiao Street in Ping'an Town.
Even the new branch on the street behind the Ke Lai Xiang Restaurant no longer sells breakfast. It only sells freshly made desserts and snacks. In this hot summer, it has also launched a lot of ice creams and cold cakes, which are also very popular.
"What a coincidence!" The little maid was also delighted. "Is your shop Yunji Shop?"
He Chunxiu smiled and nodded, "Exactly. It's called Yunji Breakfast Shop."
"Yes, yes!" The little maid nodded repeatedly. "Madam is looking for this shop. I heard that your peach mille-feuille is particularly delicious and can't be found anywhere else, so I came here specially to buy it!"
The peach mille-feuille was something Baoya learned from Nanxuan. It is a replica of the modern peach mille-feuille cake and of course it is not sold anywhere else.
Seeing her excitement, He Chunxiu instructed Lan Xiang, "We still have some ingredients for making thousand-layer cakes. Go make some for this lady."
The lady lay down and rested for a while, with the maid fanning her with cool breeze. The redness on her face from the sun faded a little, but she still did not wake up.
He Chunxiu then instructed Cuiqiao to make two cups of mint tea to relieve the heat.
"Hey!" Cuiqiao responded readily, moved two small wooden stools out of the shop, asked He Chunxiu and the little maid to sit on them, and then went to make tea with quick hands and feet.
The two sat and chatted for a while, and Cuiqiao's tea was ready. He Chunxiu and the little maid drank the tea and waited for the lady to wake up.
"Thank you so much for your help today, big sister. Madam usually likes quietness, and we didn't bring many people with us this time. If we stay in this remote alley for too long, Madam might get seriously ill again."
The most common words the little maid said at this moment were words of thanks.
She was not very old, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her pair of watery eyes were so sincere that He Chunxiu's heart softened.
"It's not easy for you two women to be out and about. I'm just lending a hand. After eating the thousand-layer cake today, are you going back?"
The little maid shook her head: "Madam plans to stay for a few days before leaving."
"That's great," He Chunxiu said with a smile, "We have a wide variety of snacks and breakfasts. You can eat something different every day."
"That's great." The little maid smiled with her eyes curved.
She wished her lady could stay outside for a few more days.
After all, as long as that little vixen is in the house, the lady will only be unhappy. She will be frowning all day long and will lose a lot of weight.
As the two were talking, a child's clear and tender voice came from outside the door.
"Mom! My fourth sister and I are done with school!"
Then, a little girl in a goose yellow embroidered skirt ran in from outside, carrying a basket of books on her back.
Behind the little girl, there was a girl who was slightly taller than her and wearing a lilac dress. The two of them walked into the shop hand in hand.
It was Baoya and Yunyue.
Baoya shouted and found that the shop was quiet. Her mother was not sitting behind the counter, and Lanxiang and Cuiqiao were not there either.
She exclaimed, "Huh?"
"Baoya, Yueya, it's in the backyard!" He Chunxiu called.
A series of tapping sounds were heard, and the two little girls put down their book baskets and ran into the backyard.
As Baoya's short legs stepped into the backyard, they stopped.
She looked at the strange woman lying in the rocking chair with her eyes closed in the yard, and the young lady sitting with He Chunxiu, and asked:
"Mom, are there any customers in our shop?"
"Yeah." He Chunxiu nodded with a smile and told the two little girls what had just happened.
Baoya and Yunyue looked at the woman lying in the rocking chair. Seeing that her complexion had returned to normal and she was sleeping with steady breathing, they felt relieved.
She was very happy to hear that this noble lady came to her shop specifically for tea and snacks.
"Sister Lanxiang is making peach mille-feuille?" Baoya's eyes curved into crescents. "Mom, look, our shop's reputation has spread to the next town!"
"Yes, our Baoya is really amazing." The mother and daughter started praising each other regardless of the presence of outsiders.
As they were talking, footsteps were heard outside the shop again. It was Yun Sanlang who came to take them home.
The lady has not woken up yet, and He Chunxiu wants to wait a little longer, but Yun Sanlang doesn't want her to stay too long and wants to take her back to rest early.
Lan Xiang came back with the thousand-layer cake and smiled when she saw this: "Sister Chunxiu, you two can go first. Cuiqiao and I will keep an eye on her. When the lady wakes up, we will definitely take good care of her."
"Okay then. Thank you both for your help." He Chunxiu said, and took Baoya, Yunyue, and Yun Sanlang with him to sit on the ox cart and return to the village.
