“Chicken soup wontons?” Ji Zhao smelled the fragrance and immediately got up from the bed. “Is it the little wontons at the intersection of West Street?”
“Yes.” Shen Yao smiled and nodded. He gently pushed away the hair on her forehead and said gently, “If you eat now, the temperature should be just right.”
“Alright!” Ji Zhao hurriedly nodded. She picked up the spoon and scooped some wonton soup. The soup was fragrant and every small wonton had a thin skin and a lot of meat. With a bite, the fragrant soup immediately burst out in her mouth, giving her taste buds a feast.
A moment later, Ji Zhao finally finished the bowl of wontons.
The dim candlelight swayed gently, and the bright and beautiful girl in front of him had a satisfied expression.
“Shen Yao, what are you looking at?” Seeing how engrossed he was, Ji Zhao, who was holding her face with both hands, blinked curiously.
“Of course I’m looking at you.” Shen Yao raised his eyebrows gently and tapped the tip of her nose dotingly. “Are you full?”
“Yes, I’m full!” Ji Zhao grinned. Then, she pointed at his small stomach and said with a smile, “It probably won’t make any more protests.” At this moment, she was exceptionally delicate and naive.
It was really adorable.
“Today, I went to the Qin Residence to meet Master Song.” Shen Yao looked into her eyes and said softly, “Just as Qin Minghong said, Master Song is knowledgeable and talented.”
“So you want to take Master Song as your master?” Ji Zhao immediately understood what he meant. She blinked and asked curiously.
“Yes.” Shen Yao nodded slightly. ‘Tomorrow, I want to bring Chenchen to the Qin Manor to officially visit Master Song.”
Ever since Ji Zhao had a nightmare that the Shen family’s courtyard would catch fire, she had convinced Ji Chen to go to Eldest Brother Shen’s pastry shop to help.
Although Ji Chen was quiet, he was extremely reliable.
Although he did not understand why his sister insisted on him staying in the pastry shop to help, he still listened obediently.
The business of the Shen Ji Pastry Shop was becoming more and more popular.
Double-skinned milk and various styles of milk tea were immediately popular once they were launched. In addition, the Shen Ji Pastry Shop was already famous, so the profits of the Shen Ji Pastry Shop were increasing.
Every day at 9:15 pm, Eldest Brother Shen was in the happiest mood.
Because at this time of night he began to calculate the accounts.
“Don’t tire yourself out,” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen said gently as she sent over a bowl of warm milk
“Dongmei, we have more and more silver on hand now.” After settling the accounts, Eldest Brother Shen closed the account book with satisfaction and said with a smile, “I plan to buy the shop on East Street.”
“Shen Lei, should we discuss this with Father and Mother again?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen asked hesitantly. “After all, our courtyard has been burned down. I’m afraid it will cost a lot of money to rebuild it! Moreover, I’m worried that Father and Mother will be very tight on money.”
“No.” Eldest Brother Shen took a sip of milk tea and let out a comfortable sigh.
“I know my parents. They won’t be without money. ”
“But…’
“Shopkeeper Zhao was in a hurry to sell, so he lowered the price of the shop by 50 taels,” Eldest Brother Shen said excitedly. “You also know that shop. The shop is big enough and the market is good. Now that our Shen Ji’s reputation has been spread, I believe that when we move there, our business will definitely prosper!”
“After we earn money, it won’t be too late for us to be filial to Father and Mother.
Looking at Eldest Brother Shen’s excited expression, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen felt a little uneasy.
“Shen Lei, is Shopkeeper Zhao really a trustworthy person?” Sister-in-law Shen could not help but frown. “I feel uneasy…”
“Dongmei, don’t worry.” Eldest Brother Shen patted his chest and promised, “I’ve been doing business for so many years. Can’t I tell if the other party is a human or a ghost?”
“Shopkeeper Zhao has been running the grain shop for many years. If it weren’t for the fact that his mother was seriously ill in the countryside and urgently needed expensive medicinal herbs to save her life, he wouldn’t have lowered the price of the shop again and again,” Eldest Brother Shen quickly said. “However, business is business, Shopkeeper Zhao might lower the price of the shop even more tomorrow.”
Before Eldest Sister-in-law Shen could say anything, Eldest Brother Shen had already blown out the candle.
“Dongmei, it’s late. Shall we rest early?”
Now that Eldest Sister-in-law Shen was in the late stages of pregnancy, she would always wake up several times at night. Therefore, she and Eldest Brother Shen temporarily slept in separate beds.
After a while, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen heard a familiar snoring sound.
Shopkeeper Zhao’s appearance was too coincidental.
Moreover, the shops on East Street were expensive. Even if Shopkeeper Zhao was short of money, he would not lower the price of the shops.
Taking a step back, even if a pie really fell from the sky, why would it hit Shen Ji Pastry Shop’s head?
However, after being married to Eldest Brother Shen for so many years, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen knew her husband too well.
She could not directly question Shopkeeper Zhao in front of Eldest Brother Shen.
Therefore, she could only use a roundabout method to ask Ah Tao for help.
The next day.
Ji Zhao woke up early in the morning and personally made a few types of refreshments and prepared some apprenticeship gifts.
By the time she was done, Shen Yao had already picked Ji Chen up from Shen’s
Restaurant.
“Chenchen?” Ji Zhao rushed in front of him and hugged him warmly. She rubbed his little head hard and shouted excitedly.
After not seeing him for a few days, Ji Zhao felt that Ji Chen had grown taller.
“Sister,” Ji Chen called out obediently.
Seeing the siblings’ intimate actions, Shen Yao could not help but cough lightly.
“Ah Tao, it’s getting late. ‘
“Oh, okay.” Only then did Ji Zhao reluctantly let go of the little boy in her arms. Then, she handed all the gifts she had prepared to Shen Yao. “I wish you success! When you succeed in becoming disciples, I’ll make delicious food for you!”
“Okay,” Shen Yao agreed happily. “By the way, Ah Tao, Eldest Sister-in-law asked me to pass you a message just now. She said that she wants to see you. If you’re not busy today, why don’t you go to Shen Ji?’
“Eldest Sister-in-law is looking for me?” Ji Zhao hurriedly nodded. “I’ll go later.”
When Shen Yao brought Ji Chen to the Qin Residence, Ji Zhao also went to Shen Ji with a few new pastries.
Halfway through the night, there was already a long line outside Shen Ji’s door.
Feng Chunyan was helping distribute the number plates. When she saw Ji
Zhao, she immediately beamed. “Sister Ah Tao!”
“Eh? Why don’t I see Big Brother?” After entering the shop, Ji Zhao asked curiously.
“Brother-in-law went out to do something, but Sister is in the backyard! Sister Ah Tao, there are too many customers in this shop. I’ll go greet the customers first.” Feng Chunyan smiled apologetically.
“Okay.” Ji Zhao smiled and nodded. She carried the newly made refreshments and went to the backyard..
