Chapter 89 Qiao Yishi
After all this trouble, Qi Moxuan felt like a mouse in a bellows, being bullied from both sides.
Shopkeeper Zhao had even begun to doubt whether the relationship between Qi Moxuan and Mr. Nancheng was as close as he said.
Facing the skeptical look of Shopkeeper Zhao, Qi Moxuan repeatedly assured him, "Mr. Nancheng is really busy these days. She will start writing a new book as soon as she has time."
In fact, Shopkeeper Zhao was also helpless. In the Bei family, those shopkeepers in charge of the study did not have much advantage, because this business did not have strong creativity, and most of them could only follow the path left by the old people.
But the appearance of Young Master Qingfeng and Mr. Nancheng made everyone see the potential of this industry. Now because he discovered Mr. Nancheng, the hot sales of Qingtianji made him famous with the main family. Now the main family is staring at him, and his colleagues are waiting to see his success. In the hot summer, he feels like an ant on a hot pan, about to be cooked.
But he didn't know Mr. Nancheng, and even the contract he signed with Qi Moxuan didn't stipulate how long it would take to deliver the work, so he could only listen to Qi Moxuan and wait.
He wanted to discover more new talents with potential, but the scripts given were far from satisfactory.
Fortunately, Cui Qingyi herself also felt sorry. She calculated the time and found that according to the progress of her and Konjac, the Hundred Longevity Painting could be completed by mid-August, and then she would have time to write a new book.
In the end, it gave Qi Moxuan some peace of mind.
Wangcai is back. When Wangcai was first lost, the people in the alley helped find the dog. Cui Qingyi said she would go to their house to thank them, but various things delayed it until now.
Taking advantage of the girls' school's break, Cui Qingyi and Konjac spent a day making cakes at home.
In fact, they could have bought them directly from the pastry shop on the street, but Cui Qingyi remembered that she had previously said that she would offer some practical and special courses in the girls' school, so she took this opportunity to promote it in the alley.
It would be a good thing if someone was interested in her and Konjac's craftsmanship and was willing to send their children to learn the craft.
Since this was a promotion for her girls' school, Cui Qingyi made the pastries extremely exquisitely this time.
In her previous life, she liked to make various pastries by following online tutorials. In this life, she learned a lot from the Cui family's chef, so several kinds of pastries were easy for her to make.
But thinking that there were also people in Dongping County who made a living from the pastry business, Cui Qingyi thought about it and carefully avoided the common pastries here.
Moreover, since the girls' school has opened this course in the future, Cui Qingyi also plans to focus on making pastries specifically for weddings and funerals.
The market for wedding cakes and fruit offerings is still blank here.
Things like flower buns, wedding cakes, and fruit offerings used in funerals that are common in the northwest are nowhere to be found here. If someone is willing to use their brains in the future, this can be a good business.
Konjac was responsible for packing the cloud cakes and mung bean cakes in paper, while Cui Qingyi was responsible for printing the seal she specially carved on the wrapping paper. The characters "Cui's Pastry" were round and beautiful, and there was a chubby "Fu" character in the lower right corner, which looked particularly pleasing.
Cui Qingyi spent a lot of time carving this seal, and it will become the exclusive seal of Cui’s pastries from now on.
The previous cooperation with the female owner of Jinxiufang reminded Cui Qingyi that although she was not afraid of starving herself to death by teaching her apprentice, there was no need to push away the opportunity to make money.
The courses attached to her girls' school are all profitable. If someone graduates and opens a shop in the future, she will take a 10% cut of the profits.
Cui Qingyi felt that this was not a harsh condition.
After all the cakes were packed, Cui Qingyi and Konjac took the victim Wangcai and started visiting every household.
Although there was some distance between the Cui family and the people in the alley before, the barriers between them disappeared after this incident. This time, every household warmly invited Cui Qingyi and Konjac to come in and sit down.
Cui Qingyi was not shy. They came here today for other purposes besides expressing their gratitude, and it would take more than a few words to explain.
Konjac first handed over the gift they had prepared. When the host saw how carefully wrapped the cake was, he immediately tried to refuse, "Madam Cui, how can this be? We just helped to find the dog, and we haven't found it yet. How can we accept such a valuable gift from you?"
Ordinary people would not spend money to buy cakes from the cake shops on the street all year round, but even if you have eaten pork, you have seen a pig run. This thing is obviously not cheap.
Konjac smiled brightly. Now that she was in the girls' school, she was thoroughly seasoned. "Sister-in-law, please accept it. We were all panicked when Wangcai got lost that night. If it weren't for your help, we don't know what would have happened."
The two of them pushed and shoved each other, and the host accepted the things.
Cui Qingyi then mentioned her plan to offer a pastry course at the girls' school, saying, "If anyone in your family wants to learn, they can sign up at the girls' school later."
The sister-in-law's eyes widened when she heard this. "They teach this in girls' schools? Isn't this a family skill?"
For example, the pastry shop in Dongping County that has been open for many years is said to have been passed down from ancestors, and is passed down to males only, not females.
Cui Qingyi: "This is considered a family heirloom, but I'm willing to teach it to others and no one can stop me, right? Besides, I prefer to pass it down to girls, not boys."
In fact, many skills have been lost in later generations because the ancients adhered to the rules. If there were no males in the family, they would rather the skills were lost than teach them to the girls in the family. This was so unfair to the women.
After going from house to house, more than half an hour had passed by the time they arrived at the Qiao family.
Mother Qiao was sitting in the yard sewing again. Seeing Cui Qingyi and Konjac coming over, she happily greeted them. She was a straightforward person, "I just saw you carrying your things out. Have the families in front of you already gone there?"
Cui Qingyi nodded. "I have been there. Thanks to the neighbors for helping me late at night. Now that Wangcai is back, I should thank everyone."
Mother Qiao touched Wangcai's big head with admiration and said, "You are so lucky to have met a good master."
Wangcai was suddenly touched on the head, and reluctantly put his head into the arms of Cui Qingyi who was sitting on a small stool, which made Qiao's mother laugh.
Qiao Yishi was taking a nap at home. When he heard his mother's laughter, he knew someone was coming home, so he came out. As soon as he went out, he saw two young girls sitting in the middle of the yard.
He seemed to feel that their originally gray yard was now bright.
Mother Qiao saw her son and saw his bewildered face. She scolded him, "What are you doing standing there like a pillar? These are Miss Cui and Miss Konjac across the street."
Of course Qiao Yishi knew her. As a bodyguard, he was very good at recognizing people. Although he had only met her once or twice in the alley, he still remembered her. What's more, the big black dog named Wangcai was lying at the girl's feet.
But this was the first time he knew their names, and he muttered in his heart, "Konjac, why such a difficult name."
"Oh, you guys sit down, I'll go out for a walk."
Seeing that his mother was in the mood for sex, Qiao Yishi was afraid that if he stayed at home, the two girls would feel uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to go out.
Qiao's mother was very disgusted with her son. She asked Cui Qingyi and Konjac to drink some water and said, "Don't worry about him. He's just stupid all day long."
