Chapter 383 Old Man Pan Returns a Favor
They didn't continue until Ding Tao apologized with a smile.
"Dad, what are you doing standing outside?" Ding Huanfu, who had just returned from a gathering with friends, asked in confusion.
"There are not many people in the shop today. When you came back, did you see any new bakery that has opened?" Ding Tao always felt that it was a bit strange. If there was no new bakery, how could his own shop have such bad business.
"It's not a new bakery, it's Jiang's Snack Shop that has a new product. They made some chestnut shortbread and everyone was fighting for it. I went to take a look and it looked ordinary, just a simple shortbread, not necessarily delicious. I don't understand them."
Since then, Ding Huanfu was expelled from school by Dong Wei.
He began to hate the Jiang family.
Knowing that Jiang's Snack Shop was opened by Jiang Tongmu's family, he prayed all day long that Jiang's Snack Shop would close soon.
But when Meng Bujiu's father became the county magistrate, Jiang's snack shop was still open.
Business is even better.
Jiang Tongmu's sister even recognized Meng Zhixian as her godfather.
Ding Huan was so lucky that he almost vomited blood.
He regrets it.
He regretted having quarreled with Meng Bujiu, otherwise he would have a good friend who is the county magistrate's own son now.
How impressive it is to say it out loud.
Even his current friends are friends with him because he boasted to others that Meng Bujiu had played with him.
These people pay attention to him.
"What? Chestnut shortbread? Shortbread made of chestnuts? How strange! I have never heard of it before. The Jiang family is just a peasant family. How could they have so many tricks? Roasting and potatoes, I have never heard of them before. And now they are making chestnut shortbread. Chestnuts are usually fried or stewed in sweet soup.
Alas, I guess these people just want to try it for the novelty. After eating it twice, they won’t want to eat it anymore. The pastries made in snack shops are not as delicious as those made in our pastry shop. I hired a pastry chef from Jiangnan. Our shop’s business is not the best in town, but it is still second.”
Ding Tao stroked his beard and curled his lips in disapproval.
I feel that the pastries made by Jiang's Snack Shop are not as good as his.
I'm too lazy to even find out.
Until the sunset filled the sky.
There was still a queue outside Jiang's Snack Shop.
"I'm really sorry, dear guests. Please come back tomorrow. Our shop will be closing soon." Adong and Axi bent their waists and said to the guests.
The chestnuts I brought from home today were all used up by noon.
I had to go home and beg for it again before I could sell it until the evening.
Zhang Jinlan was in the backyard, counting money with a smile on her face.
Le's teeth were exposed.
Adong and Axi, who were sitting in front of the shop, kept saying sorry left and right.
Finally, the guests in the queue were sent away.
The two were so tired that they wanted to collapse and sleep on the ground for three days and three nights.
He told the servants who stayed here to clean up the shop.
Zhang Jinlan took her family back home.
The money I earned today is enough to earn in the past seven days.
Before leaving, she rewarded each of her servants with fifty coins.
So these servants were tired but happy in pain.
"Grandma, how's your business? Are the sales good?" When she got home, Jiang Fubao came up to her and asked.
"Okay, okay, of course it's good. The chestnut biscuits made by Fubao are so delicious, of course they sell well. It's not enough to sell all at once, so we have to prepare more for tomorrow."
Zhang Jinlan replied with a smile.
"You can't sell too much, grandma. Starting tomorrow, purchases will be limited." Jiang Fubao hurriedly stopped her.
"Okay, I'll listen to Fubao." Zhang Jinlan agreed without even asking.
"Grandma doesn't ask me why?" Jiang Fubao tilted her head. Although she is already seven years old, some of her little movements are still exactly the same as when she was three years old.
No time to change it.
"When has Fubao ever missed something? You are the lucky star of the Jiang family. Grandma will listen to whatever you say." Zhang Jinlan took her granddaughter's hand and went to the main room together.
"If there is no limit on the quantity sold, these people will buy too much and eat it several times in a row. They will get tired of it naturally. We should let them buy less each time, so that they don't have enough to eat. Keeping them in suspense will make them think that chestnut biscuits are more delicious."
Jiang Fubao took the teacup from the maid and placed it on the small square table next to grandma.
Explaining.
"Fubao is right. Starting tomorrow, we can no longer sell like today. Each person is limited to buying ten pieces, no more. Of course, if they want to queue up after buying, then go ahead. If they are willing to spend the time, we won't stop them."
Such a long queue.
It takes at least an hour before it's your turn.
Few people can survive.
Unless you send your own servants to line up.
Then she has no right to control it.
"I'll go to the shop tomorrow too. I haven't been there for a few days." Jiang Fubao said again.
"Okay, you don't have to get up so early. You can go in the morning. Remember to bring the maid with you and don't go out alone." Zhang Jinlan nodded and took a sip of the tea in the cup.
Not hot.
Just right for entrance.
This must be the tea that the granddaughter had asked the maid to prepare in advance.
Just wait for her to come back and drink.
Thinking of my granddaughter being so thoughtful.
Zhang Jinlan felt more and more comfortable.
Living like this is truly happier than being a god.
"At noon, the pharmacist came to see Grandma and said that there was a clinic for sale in Qingdai Lane next to our house. It's a bit expensive and a bit shabby, but if Fubao likes it, Grandma will buy it for you no matter how expensive it is. After you buy it back, you can spend some time to fix it up, and then Fubao can start preparing to open the clinic."
Since the dentist said it was shabby.
That would be really broken.
Although she hasn't seen it yet.
My granddaughter wants to sell food on the second floor, so a kitchen needs to be built in the backyard, and everything needs to be renovated from the inside out.
It will take at least a year.
Let it flavor up and prepare some things.
The granddaughter is almost ten years old.
Although it is still a little too young to open a clinic at this age, her family doesn't expect her to make money.
As long as my granddaughter is happy.
At worst, she could just stay in the shop and attract customers for her granddaughter.
Zhang Jinlan's words must have been on my mind.
If he told it to others, Jiang Fubao would roll his eyes.
Who is the good guy who is here to attract customers to the clinic?
Isn't this a curse to make people sick?
The next morning.
Jiang Fubao woke up naturally and went out with his maid.
As a result, I just arrived at the door of the shop.
I found three people kneeling outside the shop.
Looking closely, it turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Grandpa, our benefactor is here!" When the sharp-eyed Pan Erya saw Jiang Fubao, she immediately shouted to her grandpa at the top of her voice.
Old Man Pan quickly turned his knees and kowtowed to Jiang Fubao.
When he bowed his body, Pan Erya and Pan Shitou also kowtowed.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly." Jiang Fubao quickly moved out of the way.
The old one kowtows to the young one, he wants to shorten her life. Good guy, why do you repay kindness with evil?
"Thank you for saving my life, benefactor. I am willing to take my grandchildren and serve you for the rest of my life. We are willing to become slaves to repay you!"
After Old Man Pan kowtowed three times, he uttered a few words.
