Chapter 311 Opening Gift
Ji Zimo was stunned and did not speak.
The nanny was blessed again and said respectfully: "Miss Xia, it was Aunt Rong who sent the slaves here to help the girl."
The person represented by Grandma Rong is the mother who doesn’t know the truth at this stage.
Xia Qianqian frowned: "This shop is very small and requires very little work. It doesn't require so many people."
She refused.
Mammy lowered her head and spoke repeatedly: "Girl, please don't think that I am getting old, but I have been working in the kitchen for half my life. I am good at both rough and fine work. Please rest assured, girl."
"My slave, I'm willing to do anything!" The little girl saw that the girl didn't want anyone, and her grandma was so capable.
She is a little girl without any work experience. The only advantage is that she is young and not afraid of getting tired.
She was anxious to introduce herself to Xia Qianqian, fearing that she would not want her, so she knelt down anxiously.
"Okay!"
Two people have two hearts, and she can't refuse any one of them.
How to explain to Li Yunniang later?
Cuttlefish sent a maid, which can be said to mean that he longed for her and was afraid that she would be tired, so he sent someone to help.
What about grandma?
Dean Xi sent a nanny, but she couldn’t say anything.
Xia Qianqian reacted and asked, "What do you call this mama?"
"Girl, just call me Aunt Gui."
"Mother Gui, from now on you will be the chief housekeeper of our small shop that I found on the street."
Xi Yalan gave her a nanny, and she appreciated it.
However, she still doesn’t want people to know about the relationship between the two, especially Li Yunniang.
Aunt Gui is a sensible person, and she said respectfully, "Girl, I understand."
"Then let's start working quickly!"
At the entrance of Zhuxian Academy, students are coming to school one after another.
Xiao Yong helped them carry the barrels to the small shop and put them away.
Cuttlefish seems to be very busy recently. He did not go to the academy. The two of them drove away in a carriage.
Xia Qianqian stood at the door and looked out, then turned around and said, "Sir, please boil the water!"
Xia Qianqian briefly introduces the work process.
Aunt Gui is experienced in doing things. After listening to it once, she understood the whole process. After a while, the main work force was naturally transferred from Xia Qianqian to her.
And that little girl, named Hua Zhu'er, is smart and agile, and she helps Aunt Gui.
As the two of them were busy working, Xia Qianqian had no chance to make a move.
When Li Yunniang came, she was naturally surprised when she saw the two people in the shop.
She felt distressed that it would cost money to hire people, and she was worried that the small shop had just opened and there wasn't much business. Now, hiring people would cost a lot, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to afford it.
Xia Qianqian comforted her, "If we can't do it, the shop is closed and we can't afford to hire people. But now, you and I are busy at both ends and we really can't take care of it. Let's wait for a while before talking about it."
Today is the first day of opening of the small shop.
Uncle Wang came forward with a bunch of firecrackers in his arms and said with a smile: "Girl, when are you going to set off the firecrackers?"
"Uncle Wang, please drag the firecrackers away later. There are female students coming in and out of the college gate, so don't scare them."
"Okay!"
Uncle Wang picked up the firecrackers and walked to the corner outside the gate. After a while, the sound of crackling firecrackers was heard.
Firecrackers are sold according to length, and the bundle in Uncle Wang’s arms just now cost one hundred Wen.
Logically speaking, it will be over in just a few breaths.
Unexpectedly, the firecrackers on the other side of the wall kept going off for a long time, which not only attracted passers-by to gather around to take a look, but also made Li Yunniang stamp her feet in anxiety.
"Oh my God, why haven't you stopped yet? How many firecrackers did Uncle Wang buy?"
Xia Qianqian stood at the door and looked into the distance. In the corner of the street, he saw Cao Ran in regular clothes.
He stood there quietly, passing through the shoulders of the crowd. The two looked at each other. Cao Ran's eyes were evasive, and he reached out to wave to her.
He raised his hand in the air, hesitated, and finally lowered it feebly.
He nodded slightly at her, then turned and left.
Xia Qianqian nodded, and an indescribable feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
If the original owner is really Xian'er, that person should be her uncle.
Destiny always loves to play tricks on people.
Eighteen years ago, Cao Ran cruelly drew his bow and shot an arrow, shooting the baby off the cliff.
Eighteen years later, when he was in danger, it was the baby who took action and saved his life.
At this time, the two people who knew the truth were no longer as comfortable as they were when they were getting along.
Before the sound of firecrackers stopped over there, a few boys came over here, handed over two small boxes, and said respectfully: "This is a gift from us on behalf of the master."
After putting the things on the table, Xia Qianqian stepped forward to open the box.
In the first box, there are ten taels of silver.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, and Xia Qianqian laughed dumbly.
This gift must have been given to her by Mr. Liu.
This old man knows that she loves money, and no gift can be as valuable as giving her money.
What's more, he also found it troublesome, so instead of spending time choosing gifts, it would be more straightforward to just send money.
Opening the gold velvet under the silver, as expected, there is a note underneath, with only one word, Liu.
Xia Qianqian shook her head and opened another box.
In the center of the gold velvet box, there are two pink sleeve handkerchiefs, clearly embroidered with patterns of Strelitzia reginae and pincushion flowers.
It’s Hu Tang.
Xia Qianqian's heart trembled suddenly, and she raised her eyes to look at the pedestrians on the street, trying her best to find that familiar figure in the crowd.
But wherever I looked, I didn't see him in person.
The Strelitzia reginae and pincushion flower patterns are her lost drawings.
It was misappropriated by the painter of Xuan Ya Ge. Unexpectedly, at the exhibition, she made the water pattern develop, and the Hu family lost the qualification to pay tribute to the cloth.
What is the purpose of giving her a sleeve handkerchief with such a pattern?
For Hu Tang, who may have had a close relationship with the original owner and knew the original owner very well, Xia Qianqian felt inexplicably guilty and fearful.
If Amnesia cannot conceal her identity, then the first person who may expose her may be Hu Tang.
Beside her, the unaware Li Yunniang stepped forward, took the handkerchief into her hand, and said in surprise: "This handkerchief is so beautiful, I wonder who gave it to it?"
Li Yunniang was afraid that she had misunderstood and thought it was a gift from Cuttlefish.
Not a cuttlefish.
The maid he sent to help, Hua Zhuer, was his gift.
Xia Qianqian hurriedly packed her things, took out a few copper coins from her sleeves, and gave the boy a reward.
Pedestrians on the street were attracted by the continuous sound of firecrackers.
Xia Qianqian stood at the gate and said loudly: "Dear guests, hello everyone, today is the opening of our "Everyone Fa" shop. In order to reward all guests for coming, all drinks are buy one and get one free, especially for the top ten.
Enjoy the discount of one refill."
People don’t know much about the refill discount.
But after listening to it, you can buy one and get one free, so everyone gathered around.
"Bring me a cup."
"Please give me a drink."
