Chapter 469 Let Go
Chapter 469 Let Go
Since I can meet Qi Rui, the son of the general, here, it is a kind of fate no matter what.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, this is a good connection and they must seize it.
……
"Sir, why are you here at this hour? Isn't the camp busy?"
They thought a guest had arrived, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qi Rui.
"Look at your surprised expressions. What? You don't welcome me?"
Qi Rui lifted his robe and chose a table by the window to sit down.
"Haha, of course not. I'm just a little surprised. Choose whatever you want to eat. It's my treat."
Zhou Mingshu spread the menu on the table, as if you could order whatever you wanted.
Qi Rui couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw her smug look.
"Look at how proud you are. It seems that group of people just now made you a lot of money."
He just saw several carriages. There must be a lot of people and food.
"Hehe, what the master said was right. I did make some money. The lady was generous and gave me a lot of tips. I even made back the cost of yesterday."
"Hahaha, that's good, that's good. I'll order these two bowls then. Thank you, Chef Zhou."
Qi Rui smiled broadly, but did not forget to tease Zhou Mingshu.
"Cut it off, I'll let my second sister do it for you."
Zhou Mingshu picked up the menu and quickly hid in the kitchen, pulling Zhou Mingqi with him halfway.
The sweet water shop’s business will surely be booming in the future, so she has to train her second sister quickly while she still has time.
Qi Rui took a sip of the tea in front of him, and the joy in his heart kept beating his chest.
Before his burning eyes moved away from the kitchen door, he was attracted by the peonies on the table that exuded a strong floral fragrance.
The peony is blooming so brilliantly that it almost covers the fragrance of the teacup in my hand.
"Rufeng, move the peony flowers in front of me. They are giving me a headache."
He was accustomed to the subtle fragrance of orchids and was not used to the strong scent of flowers.
He noticed the carriages that just passed by. The first one to be hit was the Wei family's carriage, and there were several other families behind it. It didn't look like an ordinary family. Could it be the Chengzhou Wei family? !
Qi Rui was still deep in thought, but the sweet water in the kitchen was ready. Zhou Mingshu walked towards him with a tray, and he quickly collected his thoughts.
"Did it so quickly?"
"Hey, a lot of things are ready-made. Just mix them according to the recipe, so it's quick."
"Yes, that's fine too. When there are a lot of customers, we won't be too busy."
Zhou Mingshu put down the tray and sat naturally opposite Qi Rui to watch him eat.
"The military camp is so busy, you don't have to take time out to come see me every day, don't tire yourself out."
Zhou Mingshu carefully looked at Qi Rui from head to toe and felt that his skin color had become darker and that he had grown taller.
"You think too much. I'm here purely to drink sweet water. I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat it for a day. If you don't believe me, ask Rufeng. That kid is even greedier than me. He looks like a starving ghost reincarnated."
Qi Rui did not forget to put the blame on Rufeng while speaking. Rufeng, who was enjoying the food obediently, was so scared that he choked.
Zhou Mingshu would never be fooled and just pretended not to know.
"Well, then you can come over whenever you want. The sweet water in the shop will never run out."
Not only will it not be discontinued, but there will also be a variety of new products coming out.
"By the way, I made egg cake this morning. Do you want to try it?"
"Okay, let's try it."
Who would have thought that Qi Rui would praise the egg cake highly after just taking a bite.
"Mingshu, this egg cake is so delicious. I have never eaten such a soft and sweet cake. It doesn't feel real!"
Zhou Mingshu was amused by Qi Rui's surprised expression.
"It's not as delicious as you say. It's just an ordinary egg cake. If you like it, I'll make it for you in different ways in the future."
"You said it, don't regret it~"
Zhou Mingshu changed his expression and pretended to hit Qi Rui. Qi Rui quickly put away his funny joke and started to enjoy the food in front of him seriously.
After dinner, order some desserts, and your life will be filled with gods~
Not long after, a few horse-drawn carriages came to the door of the shop one after another, and getting off the carriages were young girls whom I had never met before.
Judging from their attire, they must be maids from some family.
With Chen Fan's introduction, a few more sweet drinks were sold.
Although there wasn't much business today, I still made a lot of money.
The business of running a sweet water shop is both easy and profitable.
"Sana, I don't think our sweet shop needs so many people. I'm just sitting here doing nothing anyway, why don't you let me go to the canteen to help out?"
Chen Fan was having dinner and discussing things with Zhou Mingshu.
"Uncle Xiaofan, I think you should work hard in the Sweet Water Shop. The Sweet Water Shop can't do without you. You are the only one in our family who knows how to be sweet. It won't work if you replace others. The Sweet Water Shop has just opened and the number of customers hasn't increased yet. When our family's reputation spreads, we may have to recruit more people."
"Haha, that's good, that's good."
After hearing what his niece said, Chen Fan felt less nervous. From then on, he worked hard in Tianshuipu.
-
Half a month later, the weather became warmer.
The peonies gradually faded, but some other colors were added.
The area around and above the flower garden is always filled with the fragrance of various flowers.
This time of year is when all flowers bloom. Whether it is fruit trees or flowers and plants, they all try their best to bask in the warm spring sun.
"The air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, which is really refreshing. Standing in the flower garden, I feel as if I have merged with this mountain!"
"Looking at this sea of colorful flowers in front of me, I realized how simple and inadequate the poems I usually write are. How can I describe such a beautiful scene in one poem...?"
Several students stood in the flower beds and fields, fanning themselves with paper fans and admiring the colorful flowers.
"Brother, you are absolutely right. Fortunately, I listened to the storyteller's talk while I was shopping. Otherwise, I would have missed this beautiful scenery. If I miss this opportunity, I will never see it again."
"The flower garden in Lianglin Village is beautiful, but I heard there is a sweet water shop next to the flower garden, and the sweet water there is even better!"
"I've also heard that the young cooks in the sweet water shop are all extremely beautiful, and they can't be compared with ordinary rouge and powder at all."
Several people chattered and bit their tongues, waving the paper fans in their hands faster.
A talented man deserves a beautiful woman. When they heard that there was a beautiful woman, everyone became excited and shouted that they wanted to go and take a look.
He didn't look at the flowers or appreciate the scenery anymore. He turned around and walked towards Tianshuipu.
During this period, Tianshuipu's business has been getting better and better.
Uncle Xiaofan is taking care of the front hall, while Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi are busy in the kitchen. The three of them are able to handle the work together.
However, as there were so many people coming to appreciate the flowers, they had to take care of every aspect, which took them a lot of effort.
