Jinxi learned early in the morning that Minrong almost had an accident last night, and was so frightened that she ran to Xinyuan without even having time to use her breakfast.
How could she forget that Minrong was still big? How could she worry so much!
If something really happened, I would have to regret it to death!! Damn it! Jin Xi beat her forehead in frustration and cursed secretly.
"Mother, how are you?" When Jinxi came in, she saw Minrong drinking the miscarriage soup prescribed by the doctor. Fei Yanggu was by the bedside.
"Your mother is fine. But something is wrong with you!" Fei Yanggu saw that his daughter had fallen into a trap, and he carried Jinxi with a sullen face and walked to the study next door.
"Ah...Amma! Please take it easy! Take it easy! My daughter's neck hurts!" Jin Xi wrinkled her little face and wailed all the way when Fei Yanggu took her into the study.
"Hmph! If I don't accompany your mother to have a good pregnancy, she will come up with bad ideas!" Fei Yanggu snorted and scolded the hibiscus seal.
When Jinxi heard this, she knew that the cheap dad already knew about this. She simply hugged Fei Yanggu's thigh and flattered him: "Amma, don't you think this is a good idea? Look, Guo Luomafa's family
E Niang feels aggrieved when she doesn't want to see E Niang. Although there is an Amma in the house, but as the saying goes, "If you have money, don't panic"! E Niang has a property close to her, and in the future, even if she doesn't
A bowl full of gold and silver can at least make E Niang feel happy."
"Stinky girl! Is it possible that your mother-in-law is not having a happy life now?" Fei Yanggu relaxed his breath after hearing his daughter's explanation, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. When did the status of his legitimate wife and legitimate daughter begin?
Do you want to make money on your own?
"My daughter knows that Ama is generous by nature, and she never cares about it, but she can't resist some people's rumors. I think that when Aunt Qiu was here, she said many mocking words to E Niang in secret and overtly. E Niang has a weak temperament, and since
I don't care about it with them. But I can't guarantee that she is always thinking about it in her heart." Jin Xi pouted, pretending to be angry and complained to Fei Yanggu.
She didn't know whether Shen Liqiu had made irresponsible remarks in front of Cheap Niang, but she had heard the implication of Shui Yingying's chat with Xia Youzhen. Shen Liqiu had mentioned to them more than once that Cheap Niang's dowry was pitifully small.
Facts. Fei Yanggu should not be aware of these. If he had known, Shen Liqiu would have been punished long ago by facing the wall and thinking about it. For criticizing Fujin behind his back, this would be a crime of disrespect if investigated.
"Is this really true?" Fei Yanggu raised his thick eyebrows and asked with wide eyes.
"Of course. How can a daughter lie to Ama?" Jin Xi flashed her bright almond eyes. After all, Shen Liqiu has been divorced and returned to the Shen family. It is impossible for the cheap dad to go to the Shen family to verify this matter.
. So, Ke continued to add fuel to the fire: "Amma, my daughter thinks it would be good for my mother to have an industry that can help her spend her free time, so that she won't have to think about all the things when she has free time. Besides, my daughter will grow up in the future.
It’s time to draft and enter the palace. It’s impossible to stay with E Niang every day. And Amma also has official duties, so it’s impossible to worry about E Niang all the time..."
"What you said sounds reasonable..." Fei Yanggu stroked his beard and pondered. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at Jinxi, and said seriously: "Today's matter is only known to the three of us. Don't spread it everywhere.
Even your two brothers are not allowed to reveal anything to them. As for the manpower in the store..."
"This is easy to handle. Aunt Liu is very good at craftsmanship, and Rao Chan can also help. With the two of them helping each other, it shouldn't be a problem." Jinxi patted her chest with confidence. Fei Yanggu saw that she looked like a child.
Action. I couldn't help but smile, "You girl is really full of ideas, and you actually asked your mother to make trouble with you... That's fine, as long as you don't cause any trouble, you can give it a try!"
"Thank you so much, Ama!" Jinxi jumped three feet high, shouted flatteringly and flatteringly at Fei Yanggu, and only had to raise her arms and shout "Long live" three times. Then she rushed into Minrong's room.
Go and tell her the good news.
Yeah! She is about to create her first industry in the Qing Dynasty. Although it does not completely belong to her, it is worth it if she can get the support of the cheap father. At least, it will make her and Qinghui have been planning for a long time.
The aromatherapy shop will have a greater chance of opening smoothly.
"Ama, do you agree?" Seeing her daughter coming in with a face full of joy, Minrong smiled and pointed out the reason why her daughter was so happy.
"Yes!" Jinxi nodded vigorously, "Eniang, I will leave it to my daughter to plan the next step. Even if Eniang is at ease raising the baby, if her daughter has any questions, she will come to Eniang for help. She is not good at making decisions.
.”
"Okay." Minrong smiled and nodded. It would be good if her daughter could start exercising earlier.
"Don't tire yourself. After all, there are still several months before the autumn harvest."
"Don't worry, Niang, my daughter knows." Jinxi nodded obediently. She had already listed all the things she could think of for opening a shop, and she just had to start making preparations.
Shop location selection, facade decoration, equipment and tools, manpower and materials... these are all the procedures she can think of for the smooth opening of the cake shop.
The first was location selection. She had previously spotted a single small storefront for sale on Qianmen Street, which was sufficient for a snack shop. However, because there was insufficient funds at the time and the development of Qingsui was still in its initial stages, she did not give it much thought.
Now that the cheap dad has also supported them in disguise, there is no need to be secretive anymore. I will ask the owner when I get back. I don’t know if anyone else got there first.
The second is equipment. She doesn’t need to worry about traditional pastry equipment, Aunt Liu and Rao Chan can find almost all of it. What she needs to worry about preparing is the equipment for Western pastry. There is no oven, so she needs to design an oven similar to an oven. She also needs to bake bread.
Biscuit baking sheets, wire grids, cake molds, egg beaters... Alas, you still need a lot of equipment. You have to find a capable and smart blacksmith.
Next is manpower and materials. In terms of manpower, Aunt Liu and Rao Chan should be enough for the time being. We can find helpers when we are too busy. As for materials, fresh fruits, jams, and eggs are already in sufficient supply.
In addition, you also need to purchase flour, milk, sugar, salt... These are the basic materials for making Western-style pastries. Except for milk, which may take time to explore and purchase, the rest can be purchased in any store.
Finally, there is the decoration of the store. How to decorate a single small facade to attract people's attention and save money? Should all the walls facing the street be made of transparent glass like in later generations? Well, this cost is not enough for her now.
It’s too high a statement. Then learn the European style decoration, use blue bricks to outline the walls, carve small doors with wooden edges, and use small pieces of glass to inlay the windows. Various fresh Chinese and Western pastries can be placed on the exhibition window sill.
Pedestrians passing by can see it at a glance. Pictures of the day's special pastries can be posted on the door, which not only impresses but also beautifies the facade.
However, with such a modern decoration style, I wonder if it will attract prying eyes and covetous people?
Probably not, right? Jin Xi propped up her chin, stared at the manuscript paper in front of her and thought for a long time, and finally let out a sigh.
"Gege, the servants are all ready. Are you going down the mountain now?" Mo'er put the packed baggage on the table in the main room and walked into the study to report to Jinxi.
"Where's my mother-in-law? Did you go down too?"
"Fu Jin has already gone down the mountain in a soft sedan chair."
"Well, let's go then." Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it's time to go back to the mansion for reunion. Let's wait until the Dragon Boat Festival is over before starting to organize everything.
In a few seconds, Jin Xi packed up the graffiti that was spread out on the desk. Along with the three maids who had been waiting in the main room for departure, they said goodbye to Chuyuan and returned to the mansion in the inner city. After two months of staying in the other courtyard, it was too late.
It's a happy ending.
……………………
Two months later, there was a VIP private room on the second floor of Xiangji Tea House.
"Master, I heard that a new pastry shop called "Guozhiyu" has opened on Qianmen Street. Most of the pastries and pastries sold there are filled with jam. There is also a pastry called cake, which tastes cottony.
It's soft and rosy, not greasy or greasy, and business is extremely good. I'm thinking, should our restaurant ask them to buy some cakes so that our guests can order them?"
Yinzhen sat in a special private room and listened to the shopkeeper Luo An's report on the overall situation of the teahouse in the past month. The other book friends read normally: At the end, Luo An suggested this.
"Cake?" An unknown glint flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, and then he nodded, "Okay, okay, but it's best to buy out the cake recipe and let Master Xiangji make it himself... Find some time, I'll go there
Let’s meet the boss of ‘Fruit Language’.”
"Language of Fruit" cake? Haha... If the boss behind the scenes is not the girl he knows, is there someone else with the same background as him in the Qing Dynasty? He really wants to find a chance to go and meet her. So-called
If you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger!
A native of the Qing Dynasty would not have the slightest suspicion about the plans he is currently carrying out in secret. However, if someone who also comes from modern society and travels through time sees the clues, it is very likely that he will have to take action early.
But now, I have just turned nine years old. Even if I am a prince blessed by God, he is too powerful and will easily attract people's attention. I have to go to find out the details of the other party first.
"When does the master plan to go? Do you need me to make immediate arrangements?" As soon as Luo An heard Yinzhen's instructions, he felt admiration in his heart. This is the biggest reason why he has followed the master without regret for so many years. Although the master is young,
, but can already think of long-term decisions that ordinary people would never think of.
"Let's wait a few more days. When will Lang Yue come back?" Yinzhen asked, sipping his blue and white porcelain cup and lowering his eyelids.
"It will take about three to five days. I recently purchased a batch of fruits... Does the master have anything to do with him? If it is urgent, I will send someone to urge him to come back first."
"No rush, let's wait until he comes back." Yinzhen shook his head, but he had a strange intuition in his heart. The newly opened pastry shop with jam filling on Qianmen Street is inextricably related to Long Yue.
…
Could it be that that girl was really a fool? When Yinzhen thought about this, he felt a little dumbfounded. If so, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot? (To be continued)
