After Jiang Miao washed herself, she sat on the bed and opened the envelope. Unlike Mrs. Zhang's thin piece of paper, Shen Yanqing wrote several thick pages for her.
"Miaoya, words are like faces. By the time you receive this letter, we have been separated for more than half a month. One day without seeing you is like three autumns. Miaoya, I miss you very much. Do you miss me?"
Jiang Miao's heart was beating fast, her face was on fire, and she was buried in the quilt.
The letter to Mrs. Zhang was obviously as precious as gold, so why did it become so disgusting when it came to her?
Jiang Miao endured her shame and continued reading.
Shen Yanqing wrote several pages of love words, saying that he missed her, that he missed her food, that he couldn't sleep because of her, and that the capital was not good at all without her. Jiang Miao blushed.
He also complained to Jiang Miao that all the snacks he had brought with him were taken away by Mr. Wei and Xu Ziwen. He originally wanted to save some food, but he finished them before he arrived in the capital. Shen Yanqing's words were full of annoyance, and Jiang Miao chuckled softly. , those two are both foodies, Shen Yanqing will definitely not be able to steal them.
But now that the weather is cold and the snacks are safe, she can make some and send them over. Jiang Miao thought about Shen Yanqing's taste and made a list in her mind.
"Miaoya, you are the only one in my heart. There will be no one else waiting for me when I come back."
Shen Yanqing's letter said that he would not change his mind every word. Jiang Miao's heart was in a mess and she tossed and turned on the bed.
"It's so annoying!" Why did the male protagonist come to flirt with her?
Jiang Miao was suffocated in the quilt, her heart was sour and sweet at the same time. She grabbed the pillow next to her and gave it a few hard blows as if it were Shen Yanqing.
"Now if you want me to believe you, please behave nicely. Otherwise..." She left immediately.
Jiang Miao felt a little shaken. If Shen Yanqing didn't change his mind in the future, it would be okay for them to be together.
In the Beijing Inn, Shen Yanqing was lying on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window in trance.
I don’t know if Miaoya has read the letter now. He wrote all the affection that he usually couldn’t express in the letter. He hopes that Miaoya can trust him more and stop thinking about leaving.

The next day, Jiang Miao got up at dawn. Mrs. Zhang was sweeping the yard, and she looked surprised to see her getting up so early.
"Why didn't you sleep more?"
Mrs. Zhang usually hates her daughters-in-law being lazy and playful, but towards Jiang Miao she was blatantly partial.
Jiang Miao smiled and said, "I want to sell out and go back to the village early today."
"Why are you going back to the village? If you need anything, I'll get it for you."
"I'm not lacking anything. I just want to go to the mountains to see if there are any wild fruits that can be used to make snacks."
At this time, chestnuts, green plums, and hawthorns all began to mature. Jiang Miao had seen fruit trees on the mountain before, and she had been thinking about them. These fruits were the best for making cakes and preserved fruits.
"Can those sour fruits be used as snacks?" Mrs. Zhang muttered. Qingquan Village is full of mountains and plains. If you take a bite, you will be sour to death. They usually rot on the trees and no one wants them.
"You'll know how delicious it is when I make it."
Chestnut cake, candied roasted chestnuts, hawthorn cake, hawthorn slices, candied haws, candied snowballs, dried fruit preserves... Jiang Miao is drooling just thinking about it.
The shop opened early, and Jiang Miao was originally worried that no one would come. She didn't want all the customers who bought yesterday to be waiting at the door early.
"Ms. Jiang, bring me four pieces of lotus cake."
"I want four pieces of mung bean cake..."
They rushed in but didn't find the snacks they wanted on the shelf.
"I'm sorry, ladies, I didn't make lotus cakes and mung bean cakes today. Why don't you try the jujube cakes and jujube cakes?"
Several ladies were not very happy. They had been waiting for so long just for the lotus cake/mung bean cake, especially Lin Yun. Her mother could not eat anything but lotus cake. Originally, she wanted to buy a few more pieces today, but she
Was told no.
"How can there be such a business? Customers can't even buy what they want to eat!"
"The menu in our store changes every day. It's always new when you come here. Ladies can enjoy snacks of different flavors. Of course, lotus cakes and mung bean cakes will also be available in the future."
After Jiang Miao finished speaking, several ladies were shocked and surprised.
Is this okay?
The ladies looked at Jiang Miao with silly eyes. She doesn't sell delicate and delicious lotus cakes, but sells this big, dark and unpalatable cake. Isn't that a bad sign?
Jiang Miao understood the look in their eyes and smiled helplessly. She wanted to do everything, but unfortunately she could only make two kinds a day due to lack of manpower, and some ladies also judged their "desserts" based on their appearance. Who said that being ugly is not good?
Delicious.
She took a piece of jujube cake and cut it into small pieces for a few people to try. The ladies hesitated and took it. They looked at the ugly snack but it had a sweetness. When they ate it, they had a strong jujube aroma in their mouths and the sweetness was just right.
The ladies who were still a little angry were immediately captured.
The lotus cake that I had been obsessed with before has long been forgotten. The lotus cake is not as delicious as the jujube cake.
"Ms. Jiang, I want five yuan!"
"I want five dollars too!"
"......."
Jiang Miao packed the bags for everyone in an orderly manner. The five plates of snacks were sold out in less than half an hour. Those who didn't buy the jujube cake looked disappointed and didn't know when it would be available next time. The smell of jujube was still in their mouths.
Son, the ladies swallowed quietly and settled for the next best thing, buying jujube cakes.
Jiang Miao felt funny in her heart. She asked her to tell her that the jujube cake was much more delicious than the jujube cake. It would definitely not be a loss if she bought it.
"Ms. Jiang, what snacks are you making tomorrow?"
The young ladies who originally thought Jiang Miao's way of opening a shop was strange, can't wait to know tomorrow's menu.
This was a big question for Jiang Miao. She had to see what ingredients she found on the mountain today before making a decision.
"This is a secret..."
Her mysterious smile aroused the curiosity of the ladies.
"Then I have to come early tomorrow to avoid not being able to buy it."
"Me too."
Jiang Miao didn't expect that her "lazy" method would accidentally become the shop's new gimmick. To describe it in one word, it would be to enjoy the pleasure of opening a blind box.
The five plates of snacks were sold for four taels of silver after excluding the cost. Jiang Miao took out one or two cents and gave them to Shen Yingxue and Mrs. Zhang.
"This is the wages for mother and eldest sister."
"I just lit a fire, there's no need to pay." Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, and Shen Yingxue was even more unwilling to accept it. It was clearly Jiang Miao who taught her how to make snacks, so how could she be embarrassed to accept the money.
"I couldn't have done it so fast without you, especially the eldest sister who helped me a lot. I deserve all the money, and I can't let you help me work in vain." Jiang Miao forced it on the two of them, but Mrs. Zhang pushed her but had no choice but to accept it.
Down.
"Oh, I didn't expect that my old lady can still make money at such an old age." Mrs. Zhang pinched the half a tael of silver in her hand and smiled happily, "This is all thanks to Zhan Miaoya."
Compared with Mrs. Zhang's happiness, Shen Yingxue was in a complicated mood. She lived and ate at her parents' house for free, and even accepted wages from her younger siblings. Shen Yingxue squeezed the money in her hand and secretly made a decision. She would work harder to help Jiang Miao in the future.
