Chapter 229 Shop Opening
Ye Mingzhu was still thinking about Daya and Erya that Wu Yue mentioned, but it was not convenient to mention Daya and Erya at the moment, so she could only find an opportunity to talk about it later.
In the following days, Aunt Mo taught her three children how to make snacks in the kitchen every day.
Wu Tie's mother was not happy at first, but when Wu Tie brought the snacks he made for the first time home for his mother to eat, his mother's eyes were filled with shock: "Did you make all these snacks?"
Wu Tie's face was full of embarrassment: "Mom, do you think these snacks are not good-looking? The chef said that I didn't control the strength well. I will definitely make better ones next time."
In fact, what Aunt Mo said was: Although your strength control is not very good, but at such a young age, it is already good enough for you to be able to make snacks like this.
Wu Tieniang finished all the dim sum in her mouth and licked the dim sum crumbs around her mouth. Her expression switched back and forth between joy, surprise, and guilt. Finally, she sighed, "Xiao Tie, you must learn how to make dim sum from your master. You must be filial to your master in the future. Without her, how could you have made dim sum so quickly?"
She really didn't expect that her son was so talented. In just a few days, her son could already make ready-made dim sum. She had not eaten many dim sum, but she thought the dim sum made by her son was the best. He was still so young, and when he grew up a little more, he would definitely become a great dim sum chef.
When Wu Tie heard his mother say this, he nodded and said as if it was a matter of course: "Well, I told my master that I will take care of her in her old age and see her to the end."
Wu Tieniang: “…”
She felt that the snack she had just eaten was particularly choking. She just wanted her son to respect his teachers and didn't want to send her son away.
Wu Tieniang was so angry that she picked up the pillow on the bed and hit Wu Tie with it.
Wu Tie felt that not only was his filial piety not praised, but he was also slapped several times by his mother.
It is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
He jumped out of the room and complained to Wu Jiang who was about to come in. After hearing the whole story, Wu Jiang gritted his teeth and finally couldn't bear it anymore and beat him up.
If Wu Yue had not returned home, Wu Tie's beating would have continued for a while longer.
After hearing the reasons, Wu Yue retracted his idea that his nephew was smart.
Someone told Aunt Mo about this. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions as she asked Wu Tie, "Who told you to take care of me until the end of my life?"
Wu Tie was kneading dough, his face covered in powder, making him look a little funny. He said calmly, "I heard Master tell the two sisters that there is no son at home, so let one of them stay at home to marry a son-in-law. Master, I will be filial to you in the future, so you two sisters don't need to stay at home."
Aunt Mo didn't expect this to be the reason. She shook her head and said, "Your parents won't agree."
"My parents have two sons, and they always think I love to get into trouble, but the master never despises me for being stupid and teaches me with all his heart." Wu Tie knew very well that Aunt Mo did not really want to take him in as an apprentice at the beginning, she just said that out of impulse.
But after Wu Tie became her apprentice, Aunt Mo really taught him seriously, even better than she did to Mo Xing and Mo Wan, so he made up his mind to take care of Aunt Mo in her old age and see her to the end of her life.
Aunt Mo: ...Are you sure it’s not because Mo Xing and Mo Wan can’t learn it?
Wu Tie's eyes were full of seriousness, and Aunt Mo's eyes were full of complexity. She had never had her own children in this life, and she thought that having two daughters would be enough. Unexpectedly, she accepted a silly apprentice, and the silly apprentice treated her as his own mother and was filial to her.
"I'm still young and it's still a long way to go before I get old." Aunt Mo turned her head and wiped the tears from her eyes, pretending not to care.
"Whether you are young or old, I will be filial to you." Wu Tie stopped what he was doing and tilted his head to look at Aunt Mo.
"Hurry up and work, don't think about being lazy." Aunt Mo gently nudged Wu Tie with her elbow, and Wu Tie immediately started working.
Outside the door, Aunt Jiang looked at the two people diligently making snacks in the house and sighed, "Xia Zhi's whole life has been spent on her children."
She could see that Wu Tie was serious, and naturally she could see that Aunt Mo was also really touched. She was afraid that in the future, Aunt Mo would treat Wu Tie as her own son.
Ye Mingzhu helped Aunt Jiang leave and whispered, "Isn't this better? Aunt Mo has two daughters, and now she has a little apprentice. From now on, mother won't have to worry about her."
Aunt Jiang remained silent until she could no longer see the kitchen. Then she sighed, "I hope Xia Zhi's future will be better and better."
Soon, the people sent by Mr. Lin to learn how to make dim sum arrived. When Ye Mingzhu saw them, she raised her eyebrows, but she said nothing and asked someone to take the two to the kitchen.
"Did Mrs. Lin send her maid here?" Aunt Jiang had met Mrs. Lin many times, so she naturally knew most of the people around her.
"When I went to tell Boss Lin that Madam Mo wanted to teach an apprentice, the maid named Zi Ye was very interested. I didn't expect Boss Lin to actually send her." Ye Mingzhu was deeply impressed by Zi Ye.
"I remember Hongdou was the daughter of Lin Dongjia's wet nurse. Lin Dongjia trusted Hongdou very much, but Hongdou rarely went out with her and stayed at home most of the time. I heard that Hongdou was good at cooking." Aunt Jiang guessed: "Perhaps, the shop in the capital city is very important, so Lin Dongjia sent Ziye and Hongdou here."
Ye Mingzhu couldn't guess it either, but the next day was the opening day of the dim sum shop in the county town. They were very busy. They had to check whether everything in the shop was ready and make a batch of dim sum.
The next day, before dawn, a group of people went to the dim sum shop. Ye Mingzhu thought it was too early, but everyone except her was excited.
"Boss, let's make arrangements early. We must open the shop at an auspicious time." Ruan Linlin and Wu Yue were wearing similar clothes and were obviously employees of the same shop.
Aunt Mo, Wu Tie and Hongdou were busy in the new kitchen, making the last dessert.
Ye Mingzhu named the dim sum shop: Sweetheart Shop.
There was still a quarter of an hour until the auspicious time, and everyone stood in front of the Sweetheart Place, nervously watching the people passing by.
Suddenly, a dragon and lion dance team came from a distance, beating gongs and drums all the way to the front of Sweetheart Square.
Ye Mingzhu was a little confused. Aunt Jiang asked her, "Mingzhu, is this your invitation?"
"No." Ye Mingzhu shook her head. She didn't even know that in ancient times, to open a shop, one needed to hire a dragon and lion dance troupe.
A group of people looked at the "lion" dancing vigorously in front of the Sweetheart House. It was really unclear whether they were there to support the show or to disrupt it?
Passersby were attracted by the sound of gongs and drums and stopped to watch. Ye Mingzhu's eyes lit up and she reminded Wu Yue and Ruan Linlin: "Cut the snacks we just made into small pieces and share them with passersby."
Wu Yue and Ruan Linlin immediately walked towards the crowd with plates of dim sum. Ye Mingzhu also carried a plate of dim sum, but was blocked by a "dancing lion".
