Chapter 133 Fly Meat
Facts have proved that Zhou Wu's efforts during this period have achieved obvious results. When the door opened, Heiya and Shufeng came to greet them with their tails wagging. They first warmly greeted Cui Qingyi and Konjac, who had not been seen for a long time, and then ran towards Zhou Wu who was carrying a basket without hesitation.
Wangcai walked lazily to Cui Qingyi, ignoring the two little cubs who were frantically trying to show their favor to Zhou Wu. He also gradually adapted to Zhou Wu's existence.
As the weather gets colder, the three dogs of the Cui family also put on thick coats. Wangcai seems to know that he is very popular with his owner at this time, so he always puts his big head under Cui Qingyi's hands without leaving any trace. Cui Qingyi naturally accepts all his requests and always kneads it hard.
At the Qin family's wedding banquet, not many people saw Cui Qingyi's final interaction with Mrs. Qin, and even if they did, they didn't know what the two said.
The final result was that the Qin family's wedding banquet was a great success. Qin Qiao, the future head of the Qin family, also successfully showed up in front of his partners. He even decided on future cooperation matters with several shopkeepers on the day the wedding banquet ended.
In contrast, Zhao Yanyan's stupid move at the Qin family's wedding banquet was seen by so many people. Not only was she stupid herself, but she also exposed the Zhao family's shortcomings in educating their children.
Young Master Zhao had long been fed up with his stepmother and sister who always caused him trouble. After this incident happened, he immediately went to Manager Zhao and asked him to send Zhao Yanyan away.
Mrs. Zhao had been scheming all her life. She was busy dealing with her stepson when she should have been focusing on her daughter. In the end, her good daughter was corrupted, and she herself had to make a living under the control of her stepson when she was old.
It really is not worth it.
Cui Qingyi did not pay attention to the follow-up of the Qin family's wedding banquet, but Cui's pastries did leave a deep impression on many people this time. Within a few days, people came one after another to place orders for pastries to be used in the wedding banquet.
Making wedding cakes is not an easy task. Cui Qingyi does not have any capable helpers besides Konjac. She picked the first few who came and set the time, and turned down all the others. After all, she could not handle all the business in Dongping County.
Of course, there are also people who are deterred from buying from Cui’s pastries because the prices are a little higher than those of other pastry shops in Dongping County.
Personal opinions vary. Some people believe that marriage is a major event in a person's life, so naturally they want to use the best of everything. Besides, the price of Cui's pastries is not so high that it is unacceptable.
Some people also think that the purpose of marriage is to live a good life, and those external things are just icing on the cake. Instead of spending money on these things, it is better to save it and use it on the more important things in the future.
There is a reason why Cui Qingyi set the price of Cui's pastries at such a level. First, all the raw materials used in Cui's pastries are of the best quality, and the rice, flour, grain and oil are all high-quality; second, many of the pastries she knows how to make are still unique in Dongping County. The price is a little higher now, waiting for the apprentices in the girls' school to graduate in the future, and there is also room for price reduction.
Cui Qingyi's arrangements are all based on her own thinking. She doesn't know whether they are correct or not, but it seems that there are no major flaws at present. Moreover, if they are not suitable for the market, they will naturally be eliminated slowly.
The weather gradually turned colder, and Cui Qingyi and Konjac moved back to the back room after the first light snow fell. As for Aunt Qin, Zhou Yanxiu had already taken her back by force.
Aunt Qin actually wanted to continue living in the Cui family's courtyard, but she had knee pain in winter. In Zhou Yanxiu's house, her room had the most abundant supply of charcoal in winter.
Although she could pay for the charcoal herself while living at the Cui family's, the conditions were not as good as those at the county government office. If anything went wrong with her, Zhou Yanxiu would blame the two girls from the Cui family.
This is not beautiful.
Although she initially came to the Cui family with other purposes, after spending a few months together, Aunt Qin really fell in love with these two girls. She felt that the Cui family had what the Zhou family lacked the most.
Cui Qingyi and Kong Ruo didn't feel much about Aunt Qin returning to the county government office. In their opinion, Aunt Qin's home was already there, so there was nothing wrong with her returning to her own home. Moreover, Aunt Qin would return to the girls' school to teach after the next spring. It was just like the winter vacation in the past, and everyone would see each other again in the next spring.
The temperature is not very low now. There is no stove in the back room because they are just heating the kang. The thin snow on the roof is melting and dripping onto the ground, making a crackling sound.
Cui Qingyi sat cross-legged on the kang and wrote the second volume of Xiyuan Ji Lu. She had been very busy these days and had no chance to write at all. Now, taking advantage of the holiday of the girls' school, she could finally finish this last part.
Qi Moxuan had been waiting impatiently, but his daughter would come back every day to tell him about the latest news happening in the girls' school. Thanks to Qi Yuan, Qi Moxuan naturally knew how busy Cui Qingyi was, so he didn't rush to urge her.
In addition, due to the previous visits of the county magistrate, Qi Moxuan also felt a sense of crisis.
It is no exaggeration to say that his Moxiangzhai survived the crisis of closure thanks to Mr. Nancheng's Qingtian Ji and Xiyuan Ji Lu. It was also because of Mr. Nancheng that his small shop gained a different status in the hearts of many bookstores and readers in Dongping County.
He seized the opportunity of Mr. Nancheng as a benefactor and wanted to cooperate with him for a long time.
In the past, he lived his small Moxiangzhai from day to day. His boldest idea was to rebuild and expand the Moxiangzhai passed down from his ancestors one day. But now, he always thinks how great it would be if he could open Moxiangzhai all over Qinghe County like Qixing Shuzhai.
This grand ambition made him cherish Cui Qingyi as his partner even more. He also saw clearly that Cui Qingyi's brain seemed to be naturally different from others.
No wonder he could write vernacular novels like "Qing Tian Ji" and "Xi Yuan Ji Lu".
As a woman, look at what she does, each one of them is worth bragging about.
Qi Moxuan firmly believed that Cui Qingyi, as Mr. Nancheng, would definitely create a better storybook than Qingtian Ji and Xiyuan Ji Lu. As long as he did not do anything that would damage the cooperation between the two, his dream would surely come true one day.
He thought that perhaps both he and Mr. Nancheng should slow down their pace so that they could walk more steadily.
Qi Moxuan was planning his future with Mr. Nancheng, but Cui Qingyi temporarily gave up the idea of continuing to write books after finishing the second volume of Xiyuan Ji Lu. In addition to wanting to think carefully about the subject matter of Mr. Nancheng's future story books, she also had something she had been planning for a long time that was ready to be put on the agenda.
Although Cui Qingyi always wanted to live a comfortable life, in fact she had never stopped making money since she arrived in Dongping County. Money is something that can give people a sense of security, and this sense of security is even more prominent in Cui Qingyi, a modern soul.
But so far, the biggest source of income for the Cui family comes from the storybooks written by Cui Qingyi. The girls' school has been in a state of neither profit nor loss since the addition of literacy classes and baking classes. This is the result achieved after Cui Qingyi strictly controlled costs. Besides, the pastry business makes money, but compared with the storybooks, it is just fly meat.
