Baiweizhai is equivalent to the lobby of an inn.
Baiweizhai offers takeout and also provides pastries and tea in the lobby.
What surprised her was that the outside of Baiweizhai looked antique, but the inside was decorated magnificently, as if it was clearly saying: I am so generous!
It's heroic, but it seems a bit tacky.
Zhao Chuchu's impression of Baiweizhai has declined a little, but the appearance and decoration are not the most important things. What is important is the pastries.
The three of them found a table and sat down, ordering some of Baiweizhai’s specialty cakes and a pot of tea.
While Zhao Chuchu and her companions were waiting, in the back hall of Baiweizhai, a person was taking a nap on a chaise longue. Behind her, a handsome servant was pinching her shoulders with his soft, boneless hands.
The servant would whisper something in the man's ear from time to time, then chuckle, causing the person on the chaise longue to curl up the corners of his lips.
At this time, another young woman came in.
After she came in, she called out "Mother" respectfully and softly, then stood aside, not daring to disturb her.
The servant looked at her, then came up to the chaise longue and whispered something into the middle-aged woman's ear.
Not long after, the middle-aged woman slowly opened her eyes and said lazily, "Sister Chun is here."
"Yes, mother, your daughter is here to report to you on the store's situation this month."
The middle-aged woman said "hmm" lightly: "Go ahead, I'm listening."
Qin Chun reported while observing calmly.
The royal chef who founded Baiweizhai was surnamed Qin. The family has been passed down for three generations. The one in charge now is the middle-aged woman in front of him, Qin Qin, the owner of Baiweizhai.
The third generation of the Qin family has two branches. According to the rules, Baiweizhai should have been inherited by the eldest branch. Unfortunately, the eldest branch, Qin Qin's sister Qin Tong, died unexpectedly, so the business fell into the hands of the second branch.
As for Qin Chun, although she called Qin Qin mother, she was not her real daughter. She was actually from the first wife's family.
The second wife only had Qin Qin. She married a man when she was young and even took in many young maids. However, over the years, she had not been able to give birth to a child.
The doctor said that she had a physical problem and was born a barren woman and could not have children.
So, Qin Qin planned to adopt a daughter.
Qin Chun is Qin Qin's adopted daughter.
Qin Tong had two daughters when he was alive. The eldest daughter, Qin Chun, is now 22 years old, and the youngest daughter, Qin Shu, is only 15 years old.
Now, Qin Chun, the eldest son of the family, is adopted by Qin Qin, leaving Qin Shu and his father to depend on each other.
Everyone in the Qin family is good at making pastries. In comparison, Qin Tong's talent is far superior to Qin Qin's. However, Qin Tong died unexpectedly. It was said that when Qin Tong was going to other places to purchase a special raw material, the horse suddenly lost control and Qin Tong and her husband fell off the carriage.
In order to protect her husband, Qin Tong fell to her death.
Qin Tong's husband only had superficial injuries at the time and they recovered soon. However, the couple loved each other deeply, and Qin's husband became mentally ill from then on. At first, he even went crazy for a while, holding Qin Tong's tablet every day and talking to it. Later, he gradually calmed down, but became less and less talkative. Sometimes he would not say a word for several days in a row, just sitting there in a daze, and sometimes he would even hurt himself.
Fortunately, Qin Shu was always by his side, otherwise Qin Fulang might have died without anyone noticing while committing self-harm.
The mental illness caused physical illness, and Qin Fulang's health gradually deteriorated and he fell ill from time to time.
