Li Yang got up early every day and went to the bathroom. He came back in the evening, had dinner with Song Qiu, walked around in the back garden, and then went back to his room to wash up and rest.
Occasionally, when I can come back early, I take Song Qiu out for a walk, listen to storytelling, watch a play, and visit the night market.
Li Yang often comes home empty-handed. Today he picks a bunch of flowers, tomorrow he packs a bag of steamed cakes just released from a time-honored brand, and later he packs a bag of candied melon seeds freshly roasted on the street.
In Song Qiu's words, men are born to be romantic, it just depends on whether they use their intentions or not.
The two people's little life was ordinary but interesting.
When Li Yang came back that day, he said that the shop on Changping Street had been decorated, and the furniture that needed to be built was all done as shown in Song Qiu's drawings.
After Song Qiu had a few days of leisure, he immediately decided to go to the shop tomorrow to have a look and start the business of opening the shop.
Yang Dalian was sent out by her. She sent Yang Dalian and people to check out the places mentioned by Gao in Pingjiang Prefecture.
Du Chuanfu is the chief steward of the family, and Song Qiu is planning to support Yang Dalian as the chief steward of these external affairs. From now on, these service stacks will be coordinated and managed by Yang Dalian.
Just two days after arriving in Fucheng, Ximeier found out she was pregnant. She could no longer follow Yang Dalian around. Song Qiu didn't worry about sending her back to Songshan Village, so he simply stayed here to raise the baby.
Her fetal image was very stable, she ate and drank as if nothing was wrong, and she couldn't sit still, so she knew that Song Qiu was going to start a dessert shop in Fucheng, so she immediately asked Song Qiu for help.
Song Qiu saw that she was indeed pregnant as if she was not pregnant. She was very relaxed. In addition, there was no sign of pregnancy, so he left her in the shop to take care of others. She had been working in a dessert shop in the town for so long.
has experience.
As for the pastry chefs in the shop, before she returned to Songshan Village, she sent two of them to learn at the shop in town, and she brought them with her here. With Ximei'er's guidance, it won't be a problem.
I knew I was going to open a shop in Fucheng, so I also brought a cart with me on this trip, including various jams, lotus root starch, etc., all prepared.
After cleaning up and down, within two days, Songji Dessert Shop in Fucheng was officially opened.
It was not easy to build a reputation and market at the beginning. Song Qiu was also willing to spend money. Two days before the opening, he made a lot of desserts and packed them in saving boxes. In the name of Li Yang's wife, he sent them to the homes of Li Yang's colleagues and bosses.
Gone.
If Li Yang was just a little-known official, then this gift would probably be in vain and would not cause any trouble.
But Li Yang is not the same. He is the commander of the Qingping Guard, and his rank is from the third rank. No one in the military attache group will deny him face. Not to mention, the backer behind him is the Prince of Changshan. Just this point is enough for the Qingping Mansion.
The officials in this group scrambled to make friends.
Even if you don't flatter someone, you will never turn against them.
Therefore, the gift boxes are quite effective.
At least, the entire circle of official wives in Qingping Mansion knew that Mr. Li's wife was about to open a dessert shop on Changping Street.
On the opening day, a steward would be sent to congratulate the business on its opening.
With so many people supporting its popularity, the business that day was as hot as Song Qiu expected.
Unexpectedly, an acquaintance appeared.
Yang Huirong, who was staying at Songshan Inn before, and Lao Yuan gave birth to his wife.
Song Qiu knew at that time that they were from Qingping Mansion and had remembered the address mentioned by Yang Huirong. However, she had not thought about visiting Qingping Mansion for so long.
Unexpectedly, Yang Huirong was none other than the youngest son of the prefect of Qingping Prefecture.
As soon as the shop opened, Yang Huirong and his wife knew it was her, and immediately sent her a greeting card to meet and reminisce.
Later, the prefect took the lead in taking care of the business, and many people had tasted this unique dessert, so there were more repeat customers.
What's more, there is a private room on the second floor with elegant and special decoration. It is more elegant and quiet than a teahouse. Whether it is for talking about business or for ladies and girls who want to have a rest and relax, Songji Dessert Shop has it all.
Good choice.
It is different from the various teas and the same snacks in teahouses.
Here, various fruit teas, scented teas, milk teas, small cakes, dessert bowls, double-skinned milk, etc. are very popular among the public.
Therefore, less than ten days after its opening, Song Ji Dessert Shop has already made a name for itself in Qingping Mansion. Everyone knows about it, and its business is very good.
In early September, it was the 70th birthday of Commander Qingpingwei’s old mother. Li Yang surprised everyone with a seven-layer peach cake as a birthday gift.
Then, the birthday peach cake made for birthdays also became a trend in Fucheng. Song Ji Dessert Shop was overwhelmed with orders. They were placed every day and they were almost overwhelmed.
Song Qiu immediately decided to buy a few hard-working women to help in the kitchen, learning while cooking.
The dessert shop is in good order, and business is good every day. With Li Yang as his support, there is no trouble, and it runs smoothly, so there is no need for Song Qiu to sit and watch every day.
She was free for a while.
That day, Li Yang came back in the evening and talked about the house while having dinner.
"Ge Tongzhi has people coming from his hometown to announce his funeral. His old father is seriously ill, so he has to go back to attend the funeral. Then Ding You will be asked to attend the funeral for three years. I don't know what the situation will be like in three years. Their whole family will go back to their hometown. Knowing that I am looking for
I want to touch the house, so I want to sell it well to me and plan to sell the house to me."
"I have been to their house once. Their house has four entrances and a large garden with many rockeries and carved beams and painted buildings. It is really nice."
"The Ge family is not short of money either. This house can be sold or not. If you are willing to give me this favor, I guess it is for the sake of the eldest son."
Song Qiu listened quietly, and naturally handed the bowl to him to fill the soup. The soup was on his side. After filling it, he took it back and took a sip. After he finished speaking, he said: "What do you think? Do you want to buy the house?"
Ducheng, do you want this favor?"
Li Yang also filled the soup and drank, and responded: "Zhi Ge Tong has a good reputation as an official. Even if I don't accept the favor from the prince, I can still recover in three years. With many friends and many paths, it's not impossible for me to accept his favor."
, How about I take you to have a look? If you like it, then we will buy that house."
Song Qiu thought for a while and said: "There is a funeral in someone's home. It's not like visiting someone's home. It's not good to go to see the house like this. Since you have gone to see the house and said that the house is good, then you think it is good to come.
Buy it, buy it, put it away, add what needs to be added, do what needs to be done, and when your birthday is coming soon, we can also have a banquet."
She has gone to many banquets with Li Yang in the past two months. This is all about coming and going. Their family never holds banquets, and it's not like that.
Seeing that she agreed, Li Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find Ge Tongzhi tomorrow."
After dinner, when he returned to his room, Song Qiu brought him a small box with three thousand taels of silver notes in it.
