It was a dark night, with moonlight filtering through the window. Liu Ruyan on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment.
She actually dreamed that she was married to Shen Yanqing, a poor boy with nothing but appearance.
Liu Ruyan frowned, and there was a sense of boredom in her heart. Was he worthy? Could it be that she felt something because she bumped into him during the day?
Liu Ruyan sneered, luckily it was a dream, how could she, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, marry a poor boy, and what was even more ridiculous was that he also won the first prize. With her brother Liu Wenxuan here, Shen Yanqing's first prize was nothing more than a dream.
She dismissed the thoughts in her mind and stopped thinking about them. These were all dreams and would never be true.
Jiangji shop
Jiang Miao made the egg tart today. The freshly baked egg tart has a rich aroma. The golden pastry is dotted with dried fruits. It is full of color, flavor and flavor.
"Mrs. Jiang, give me two..."
As soon as Jiang Miao put out the snacks, the customers outside the door were eager to buy them. After all, she didn't make many snacks every time, and they were all robbed if she was slow.
Lin Yun bought ten. In addition to Mrs. Lin, Lin Yusheng in their family was also obsessed with Jiang Ji's snacks. They had to prepare some snacks every night for work, otherwise they would not be able to handle official duties.
She didn't leave after buying it. She looked at Jiang Miao's down jacket with a confused look on her face.
"Ms. Jiang, your clothes are so unique. Where were they made?"
After all, Lin Yun is the daughter of the county magistrate. Mrs. Lin has people go to the capital every month to make clothes for her. She has seen all the fashionable clothes styles, so of course she has a good eye for it, but this is the first time she has seen the style of clothes on Jiang Miao.
There are several white jasmine flowers embroidered on the small cyan coat. The branches are wrapped around the collar and cuffs, and the placket is decorated with buttons. The length of the coat is just above the thigh, and the lower body is a white pleated skirt. The whole person looks like a fresh flower. Jasmine.
After Lin Yun asked, others also noticed Jiang Miao's clothes. The weather turned cold, and they were all dressed in cumbersome clothes. However, Jiang Miao's dress was slim and light, outlines the curves of her figure, and made the ladies feel a little sad. envious.
"Ms. Jiang, aren't you cold?"
The young lady who asked the question was dressed in three layers of clothing and looked like a bulky penguin. Her mouth was breathing white, and she looked at Jiang Miao like a warrior.
It was such a cold day and Mrs. Jiang was wearing so little, she would have been frozen to death.
Jiang Miao smiled and said, "This is a down jacket. Although it is thin and light, it is much warmer than a cotton-padded jacket."
She stood outside for a long time, and her palms were sweaty.
"What is a down jacket? Is it made of feathers?"
Lin Yun looked around and couldn't see where the feather was. Isn't it just ordinary silk?
"Ms. Lin is right, this dress is filled with down, which is light and warm."
"So good? Madam Jiang, where did you make your down jacket? I want it too."
"I made it myself." Downs are rare. Apart from the ones on her body, she only made one for Shen Yanqing and Mrs. Zhang.
"Oh, okay..."
Several young ladies left in despair. Lin Yun and others walked up and said.
"Ms. Jiang, do you sell the down jackets you make? I can pay for them."
She was wondering what gift to give to Mrs. Lin for her birthday. In the past, she always gave sachets and handkerchiefs, which were no longer fresh. Jiang Miao's down jacket is nice and warm. The most important thing is that the style is novel and Mrs. Lin likes it.
Jiang Miao wanted to sell it, but the duck down at home had been used up. Li Dajiang's family moved to Qingquan Village and stopped handling ducks, so she had no duck feathers.
"Ms. Lin, it's not that I don't want to sell you, it's just that I've used up the down and I don't have time to make any more..."
When Lin Yun heard what she said, her eyes dimmed, "Is there no other way? For my mother's birthday, she wanted to give her a novel birthday gift."
"If it's a birthday gift, you might as well give it a cake."
Down jackets are difficult to make, but birthday cakes are simple. How can you celebrate your birthday without this?
"cake?"
"Well, I haven't sold it in the shop before, so I guarantee you will be the first one."
Jiang Miao's words made Lin Yun's eyes light up. Who doesn't like rare things? When waiting for the birthday gift, her mother's face would look good when the cake was placed.
"Okay, my mother's birthday is seven days away. I'll pay you a deposit of one hundred taels first. I hope your cake won't disappoint me."
Although Lin Yun trusted her craftsmanship, she still felt a little uneasy about handing her birthday gift into her hands.
Jiang Miao nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it well."
After all, if the cake is well made and presented at the birthday ceremony of the county magistrate's wife, Jiang Ji's shop will be even more famous.
Because it was winter and the fruits were out of season, Jiang Miao could only use canned yellow peaches and cream to make it. She made an extra one for the Shen family to try.
Zhou Ling and Daya like to eat butter, and they enjoy eating it. It looks like they have a white beard growing around their mouths. Shen Yingxue wipes it for them in a funny way, "Eat slowly."
"Mom, it's so sweet, try it."
Zhou Ling raised her head and smiled obediently, and handed the cake in her hand to Shen Yingxue's mouth. Shen Yingxue took a sip, and the sweetness of the cream spread in her mouth, which was fragrant and sweet.
"Yeah, delicious."
Ms. Xu next to her had already finished a whole piece, and she was still a little unfinished as she wiped her mouth.
"I don't know where Miaoya learned so many snack recipes. Who would have thought that milk that no one wants to drink can make such delicious things..."
"That's because we, Miao Ya, have to rely on you clumsy hands to make us dexterous. I will never be able to eat such delicious snacks in my life."
Mrs. Zhang was proud in her heart. No one looked down on Jiang Miao at first, but she was the only one who bought her home with her discerning eye.
"Then mother, please eat more," Jiang Miao smiled, cut another piece with a lot of butter and handed it to Mrs. Zhang.
"Why!"
In addition to the big cake, Jiang Miao also made a plate of cupcakes, decorated with pink cream, which looked like a rose from a distance. Because there were many things, Shen Yingxue took them to the shop with her.
Before going out, Shen Yingxue was still a little hesitant. She had not been out for many days after returning to her parents' home, and she was always a little afraid of the eyes of outsiders.
"Sister, let's go to the shop and come back after everything is sold. Don't you want to see how popular your snacks are with the customers?"
Jiang Miao encouraged her, but she just thought too much and treated herself harshly for other people's mistakes.
Shen Yingxue forced a smile, looked at the door with firm eyes, and took the first step bravely.
"Let's go."
Pedestrians came and went in a hurry on the street, no one paid them any attention. Shen Yingxue breathed out and her expression became less reserved.
Jiang Miao was happy to see her relax. It was great to take the first step, and she would gradually adapt to it in the future.
Lin Yun was waiting at the door early in the morning. When she saw Jiang Miao coming, she hurried up to greet her.
"Lady Ginger, is the cake ready?"
"Well, it's all here."
Jiang Miao opened the box in her hand, and Lin Yun's eyes were amazed.
