Chapter 198 Allergies
As soon as Gu Yuanniang entered the door, she saw everyone gathered in front of the counter. She put down the things in her hands and walked towards Xu Miaomiao.
"This imperial edict is really effective. So many people have come in the blink of an eye." Gu Yuanniang said as she looked at the crowd.
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Since we have decided to take this risk, we must not let others find fault with us."
"Yeah." Gu Yuanniang on the side nodded firmly, indicating that she agreed with what Gu Yuanniang said.
After checking the goods that were to be sent to the military camp again and again, Xu Miaomiao packed them up and put them into the carriage.
"Miao Miao, be careful on the road."
Gu Yuanniang waved to Xu Miaomiao and watched the woman leave.
The carriage drove slowly along the street, leaving a deep mark.
The man in the dark stared at Xu Miaomiao's carriage with a dim gaze. The thing in his hand was crushed to pieces and even bleeding, but the man didn't notice anything.
"Shopkeeper, your hand."
Xiao Si, who was standing by, saw this scene and immediately spoke up.
The man then realized the scar on his hand. He looked at Xu Miaomiao's departing figure and said viciously, "Thanks to her, no one comes to our shop, but she is thriving and has even cooperated with the court!"
"Then what is the shopkeeper's plan to do?" Xiao Si looked at the man and asked tentatively.
"Do you think everyone wants to see her rise to the top? I'm just waiting for the day when she falls!"
Looking at the carriage going further and further away, the man took a deep breath and turned away.
"Madam Xu is here."
The guards at the door had already had some influence on Xu Miaomiao, and because of the instructions from above, they quickly let Xu Miaomiao in.
"Madam Xu, what delicious food did you bring today? We are all waiting for you to bring some food." Nangong Jin put away his spear when he saw Xu Miaomiao, and spoke to Xu Miaomiao.
"Mr. Nangong, I just wanted to have some pastries to fill my stomach today."
Xu Miaomiao took out a bundle from the carriage. These pastries were specially supplied to the army, so she changed the packaging and increased the quantity to ensure that everyone would have enough to eat.
"There are many different pastries inside." Xu Miaomiao opened the bundle, and the colorful pastries inside appeared.
Nangong Jin picked up a piece and tasted it, showing a surprised expression: "It's delicious. If those guys tasted it, they would definitely want to have a bite of yours in the future."
"As long as Mr. Nangong likes it." Xu Miaomiao said.
After distributing the food, the soldiers who had just received the cakes all showed some disbelief: "Is this what we're going to eat for lunch?"
"Yeah, these cakes look good, but I don't know how they taste."
With these incredible expressions, he put the pastries into his mouth, and everyone showed an incredible expression.
“This thing is so delicious.”
Xu Miaomiao mingled among the crowd. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard everyone said the food was delicious. The tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
In the crowd, a short soldier looked at the pastries and couldn't eat them.
"Why don't you eat?"
The person next to him looked at the stunned little soldier and spoke.
Xu Miaomiao also noticed this with her sharp eyes and walked over.
The little soldier stammered and couldn't speak, and the people around him said it was delicious and tried to urge him to eat it.
Seeing him hesitating, Xu Miaomiao stopped the people around him and asked him, "Don't you like eating?"
Xiao Shi looked at Xu Miaomiao with tears in his eyes and said, "This cake looks good and must taste delicious, but..."
"It's okay." Xu Miaomiao gently touched the little soldier's head: "Tell me why?"
"I'm allergic to things containing eggs, but pastries usually contain eggs, so I've been hesitant to eat them." The boy looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke with tears of grievance about to flow out.
Xu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat. She was too proud of herself and forgot about her allergy. Luckily, she had some other things in the car. Xu Miaomiao took the beef patty down and handed it to him.
"This is a beef patty. There is no egg in it. Eat it with confidence."
"Well, thank you, sister." The boy ate the food in his hand with big mouthfuls, looked at Xu Miaomiao with graceful eyes and nodded.
"Is Madam Xu leaving?"
Nangong Jin looked at the people who were packing up and asked.
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "I was inconsiderate this time. I forgot that some people may be allergic to eggs."
Xu Miaomiao stared at the people who were eating, her eyes dimming.
Looking at the woman's expression, Nangong Jin's heart tightened. He raised his hand and wanted to put it on Xu Miaomiao's shoulder to comfort her, but in the end he did not put it down.
"Don't blame yourself."
Xu Miaomiao smiled and looked at Nangong Jin: "Well, I'll go back and study it. I'm sure there will be a way to solve this problem."
Looking at Xu Miaomiao's leaving figure, Nangong Jin took his hand that was suspended in the air back to his mouth.
As soon as she returned to the store, Xu Miaomiao saw a group of people gathered at the door.
"What happened?"
Xu Miaomiao pulled a woman next to her and asked.
The woman put her hands in her pockets, pointed to the department store and said, "The youngest son of this department store killed the chicken of the neighbor next door, and the neighbor came to look for us."
"Xiaobao?"
Xu Miaomiao looked a little nervous and immediately squeezed out of the crowd and walked into an aisle.
I saw a woman sitting on the ground crying while holding a dead chicken. Gu Yuanniang was holding a wooden stick as if she was going to hit someone. Song Weiwei protected Xiaobao behind her. They had just had a big fight.
"Miao Miao, you're back."
When Gu Yuanniang saw Xu Miaomiao, she acted as if she had seen a savior. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
"What happened?" Xu Miaomiao asked.
"This woman insisted that Xiaobao killed their chickens and demanded compensation from us." Gu Yuan's mother looked at Xu Miaomiao and explained.
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Whatever the price of the chicken is, just give it to her first."
Song Weiwei walked up to Xu Miaomiao and whispered, "But she wants one thousand taels."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao frowned. She was a little curious about why a chicken cost one thousand taels.
Perhaps knowing that the real owner had returned, the woman on the ground also stood up, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Either pay me one thousand taels of silver, or I won't leave, and you can forget about doing business with me."
The woman walked straight to a seat nearby with the chicken in her hand, sat down, looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
Xu Miaomiao took out a silver note worth one thousand taels from the cabinet and placed it on the table.
When the woman saw the thing, her eyes lit up and she reached out to take it, but the moment she touched the thing, Xu Miaomiao pulled out the silver note.
