Chapter 206: Paid to take the bait
“Yu girl!” Wen Feng followed him in a hurry.
“Second uncle?” Wen Yu’s eyes lit up.
“Then what…Second uncle has something to do with you!”
“Let me guess, second uncle wants to make clothes?”
“…Your grandmother made it for your second uncle!” Wen Feng refused.
“Are you going to buy snacks for your friends?!”
"no…"
“Book a private room in a restaurant?!”
“None of them!” As soon as Wen Feng finished speaking, he saw the light in Wen Yu’s eyes disappear…
"Oh. Second uncle, Ayu is so tired! If you have nothing urgent, just wait until Ayu sleeps for two days before talking!"
This girl! What a snobbery!
“Just a few words, I want to ask...”
Wen Yu covered her mouth, turned her head, and yawned loudly. "Second uncle! To tell you the truth: now, except for money, I can't listen to anything else!"
"You are a big girl after all. You are always willing to use money. Aren't you afraid that the Qi family will think you are vulgar?!" Wen Feng was very angry.
"Don't be afraid!" She yawned again, "Second uncle, let me first..."
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. Open your shop, and my second uncle will reserve a private room."
Looking at Wen Yu blinking his eyes, he still had more to say. "I'll invite my friends to eat. Then we'll each pack a bag of snacks and go!"
“Second uncle, you need to pay a deposit!” Wen Yu looked unbelievable.
Wen Feng was so angry that he took off his wallet. He always had banknotes on him, so he took it out and threw one to her.
Wen Yu happily accepted it, and when he saw the amount, his eyes widened with a smile. "What's the matter, second uncle, please ask."
“Just asking, what is the title of the princess you mentioned?”
Wen Yu looked like she didn't understand what he was asking for, "My name is Princess Huiduan. With the Cui family... Hey, the fourth lady of the Cui family is from the county lord, why can't she also use the word Hui'er?"
Wen Feng didn’t care about this. He continued to ask: “Where does she live?”
"Huaishu Hutong, Dongcheng. Mrs. Zhang said it is a big house! In a few days, she will come to the store to try on clothes! Hey, after all, she is the princess, she is really real, and her skills are extraordinary! She spent a lot of money."
“Little money lover!”
“Tch, uncle, you don’t understand. This is how people live an enlightened life! But they are so arrogant that ordinary people can’t see through it. Only a shop like mine can receive such guests!”
“Stop bragging!”
“Second uncle! This is just a deposit, you have to prepare the next money!”
“This is not enough for me to eat a meal?!” Wen Feng was shocked.
“If you don’t want wine, it’s barely enough!”
“You’re even a **** of your second uncle?!”
“Second uncle, why are you so stingy after entering Beijing? You were so stingy when you were so stingy about helping your niece here. Then when you went to the store, don’t blame the poor hospitality!”
"How dare you!" Wen Feng was so angry that he didn't know what else to say, so he waved his hand and walked away.
Wen Yu looked at his back: If you really dare to come to the door, his cruel and cunning son will be waiting for you!
…
Master Qing went out early in the morning, bringing snacks and some side dishes made by Yan Zhu.
Hire a donkey cart and walk for a while, turning left and right, and entered an alley.
I got out of the car and said to the driver: "Wait a moment, we'll be out soon!" Then he knocked on the door with big and small bags. He couldn't free his hands, so he kicked it twice with his feet.
An old man came out, saw Master Qing, and smiled toothlessly.
Master Qing went in.
In the room, her nephew, wearing a cotton jacket, was sitting at the table writing.
Looking at Master Qing coming in: "Auntie." He put down his pen.
“What are you doing?” Master Qing faced his nephew with a gentle expression on his face.
“The menu and plates are ready.”
Master Qing took it and looked at it, "It's so beautiful!"
“Aunt, how have you been these two days?”
“It’s surprisingly good. Although there are only some relatives and friends here, everyone is willing to spend money!”
Yibai smiled, showing his white teeth, "That's good!"
Master Qing was very moved, he looked so much like his eldest brother!
"If the business is so good, then I still have some ideas in terms of making clothes. Look, aunt, I took apart two pieces of the clothes you made. Comparing the sizes, I'm afraid I can already cut them."
Master Qing has no doubt. The Bai family is full of strange people from generation to generation. "The quality of a piece of clothing mainly depends on several points. The first is tailoring, and then the collar and shoulders. The rest is just simple sewing. In this case, let a skilled embroiderer do the key work. This kind of long thread part is easy to make, just use some embroiderers with well-proportioned stitches. Several people can make a piece of clothing. In this way, each person can do their best part, and the product will be fast and stable. ”
Master Qing looked at the things he had sorted out and nodded: "I have thought about it before, but not as detailed as you."
"Some materials are rare and expensive. After all, only a few people can afford a set of clothes. But if you add it to the cuffs, skirt, or make a belt... it will brighten up a lot. You can also make it in advance Embroider some embroidery pieces and add them to match the colors of the clothes, which will make it smart and beautiful.”
Master Qing looked at the things he had sorted out, discussed the details, and put them away carefully. Master Qing said: "The treatment given to me by the girl is generous. If the business is as good as what I see now, then I will change it for you." Great place to stay.”
"It's very good here. Aunt, when we get rich in the future, let's go back to our hometown!" He didn't even know what the Bai family was like!
“…Things are no longer the same, and people are no longer the same. Why go back?!” Master Qing said in a low voice.
“If I can find out anything, I would also like to overturn the case for the Bai family.”
"You and I are the only ones left in the entire Bai family. So what if we can't overturn the verdict? Your father is smart and wise, and his thoughts are different from ordinary people. He may not care about these. I'm afraid he would rather want you to be safe. Until I grow old. And I really hope that you can have a future..."
“Aunt…”
…
When a new store opens, firecrackers are set off and copper coins are scattered.
The surrounding shop owners or shopkeepers also came to celebrate.
After a while, guests arrived.
In order to meet the occasion, ten types of rice dumplings were launched, named: "Ten Flavors". Bacon, egg yolks, candied dates, candied fruits, the most popular of which are colored beans. I don’t know what seasonings Yanzhu added, but the taste is very special.
Each rice dumpling is so small that you can eat one in three mouthfuls.
Wen Yu and Mrs. Qi were sitting in a small private room on the second floor, listening to the excitement outside. On an occasion like today, they didn't show up, just flipping through the bill forms in the room.
“Look, the teahouse that entertains the ladies is basically full. The snacks will probably be gone by the end of the night. The business is really good!”
Mrs. Qi also flipped through the pages: "The restaurant is not bad. The private rooms are all full... Where did you order this menu?"
“Made by Master Qing’s nephew.”
"Is it the two characters that are written as Yunxiang?"
"Yes. It's just that Yun Xiang here... sells a lot of scraps, but not many custom-made clothes."
“Don’t be anxious about this! After all, our prices are not low, and our new shop has not yet gained a good reputation. Once the first batch of custom-made clothes come out and everyone wears them, it will be much better!”
“You’re right.”
The two people were watching from inside the room and could hear the sounds of socializing outside.
“Mrs. Jiang?” The group happened to meet in front of their private room.
“Ah, where is Mingxian?!”
Mrs. Qi's face darkened when she heard this voice.
“I didn’t expect that we would see each other here!”
“Isn’t that so? I heard about the excitement a few days ago, so I came to take advantage of the festival to have a look!”
“You are well-informed, and the key is that you have a young heart!”
“Are you saying that there are only little girls here, and I, an old woman, am a nuisance to the scenery?”
“How can there be? It’s too late to admire you!”
“Jingjing, you see Sister Zhu and you don’t say anything? I’ll let her argue with you later!”
“Jingjing, I have to let you finish your speech! Sister Zhu!”
“Jingjing, don’t listen to your mother-in-law! Hey, is this your second son’s wife?!”
“Yes! My maiden name is Qin... You should also call me Sister Zhu!”
"Sister Zhu..." A soft and charming voice.
Mrs. Qi frowned even more when she heard this. Looking at Wen Yu in a blink of an eye, she was writing something seriously.
“Oh, look at this little appearance...it’s so painful. These two daughters-in-law, how nice they are! I just saw the clothes here are pretty good, you two are welcome, please dress up!”
The one named Jingjing said: "Mother-in-law, did you listen to what Sister Zhu said?"
Mrs. Jiang laughed heartily, "I heard it, just tell me what you want! Don't say anything, the dim sum here is really good! It's not sweet and tastes good."
Mrs. Qin said delicately: "Mom, my daughter-in-law can also make dim sum! The peach blossom cake she made at the beginning even won the first place! I will make it for you to try later!"
"Okay! Mother is waiting! Hey, little girl, give me two boxes of snacks and send them here..."
A group of people were talking and walking outside, and it sounded like they were going down the stairs.
Mrs. Qi looked at Wen Yu in front of her, well, what a blessing in disguise!
Outside the door, Mrs. Xu got an unmarked car and drove around it several times.
Looking at the booming business, I feel envious, jealous and full of hatred.
