marriage deal

On the antique mahogany table, there are 32 pleated steamed buns in the steamer, glowing with the white light of fine porcelain under the light.An Yan gently picked up one, and took a small sip from the side, the sweet and fresh soup couldn't wait to meet the taste buds.There is too much fresh soup, if the technique is not up to standard, it will inevitably flow down the corners of the mouth and arms.

An Yan's skill in eating steamed buns is naturally qualified, but now he's pretending to be serious and spoiling this cage of soft, tender and delicious steamed stuffed buns.Fresh soup trickled down the corners of his mouth. He forced himself to be calm and took a paper towel to wipe it off. He raised his eyes and looked at the person opposite him who was going to the marriage hall with him. The corners of his mouth curled up into a chuckle: "It's okay if I give myself to you, you still have to Want a steamed stuffed bun shop? What is this small shop in your eyes?"

Although this steamed stuffed bun shop is small, its reputation at home and abroad is not small.The store was opened by his father, but the craftsmanship is the soup dumpling technique passed down from generation to generation by his mother.His grandfather had only one daughter, and he passed on the craftsmanship to his son-in-law in line with the idea of ​​passing on the male but not the female.The son-in-law devoted himself to studying for five years before he became a teacher and opened this steamed stuffed bun shop.

The delicious steamed stuffed buns are not afraid of a small shop, since ancient times the most indispensable thing is food.At the beginning, the store had only one window, and it couldn't even accommodate a pair of tables and chairs for customers. In just five or six years, it has transformed into a three-story building.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. His parents passed away. He was only seven years old at the time. His grandfather cheered up and took care of him for a year. After he died of illness, his guardianship fell into the hands of his uncle and aunt.Fortunately, his uncle and aunt treated him well, better than his own son.

It's true that this steamed stuffed bun shop is well-known, but in fact it hasn't made any money these years.However, the pastry shop opened by his fiancé Luo Lin has chains all over the country, and the business is booming.It stands to reason that Luo Lin shouldn't have set his sights on his small shop that doesn't make money.

"This store is not important, what is important is the secret recipe left by your grandfather."

secret recipe?This is what I was thinking about.An Yan's hands trembled a little.The secret recipe is mastered by the five masters in the store, and he doesn't have it either.His uncle and aunt told him, don't trust outsiders, take back the secret recipe, he asks for it, but the masters don't give it.

"It's a pity that I don't have one." An Yan spread his hands, made a helpless gesture, and deliberately smiled, "Don't tell me you won't marry me because I don't have the secret recipe?" He twirled the silver ring on his ring finger.

Luo Lin leaned forward without smiling. "Before marriage, I hope to sign a marriage agreement. Our property is shared. What is mine is yours, and what you own is also mine, including the store and the secret recipe."

"Then I've earned it." An Yan smiled, and suddenly changed his tone, "What if I don't sign it?" According to Luo Lin's ambition, if the secret recipe is in Luo Lin's hands, it may not have to wait until the next year, and the whole country There will be branches of them all over the world and even abroad.Both his grandfather and father hoped that "Xu's Baozi" would be the only one.His grandfather's surname is Xu.

"Unless you cut ties with your uncle, I don't trust them..."

"They raised me from a young age, and they don't have any bad intentions for my shop." If so, they should not send my cousin to learn pastry abroad, but should let my cousin learn how to make steamed stuffed buns with the masters in the shop.My uncle and aunt never intervened in the business of the store, except to remind him to get back the secret recipe, but that was also concerned about him.

"You always say they are bad, do you have evidence?" An Yan asked coldly.

"...No, but you should trust me." An Daguo's family is really cunning, they never interfere with the steamed stuffed bun shop, they treat An Yan better than their own children in words and deeds.But Luo Lin saw a lot of ambitious people in the mall, no matter how well this family hid, he could see it out.He persuaded An Yan a few times, but An Yan was raised by this family since he was a child, and the family affection plus kindness is really hard to see through.

Even he couldn't find evidence.

An Yan nodded: "I trust you, but I also trust my relatives who raised me."

"Then you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way to get this store." Give him some more time, ambitious people will always show their feet, and he will definitely catch An Daguo.The store must be obtained before marriage, otherwise An Daguo will definitely take advantage of An Yan's marriage and ask for a separation of the family. An Yan owes a huge favor, if An Daguo asks for it, then An Yan will definitely be embarrassed.

An Yan was a little annoyed.Does this mean to use strong measures?He couldn't help but get angry: "Okay, your family has a lot of great business and means, so you can use it against me if you have the ability. I also tell you clearly that I love you, but I have a bottom line. If I say I won't give it, anyone who wants it will accept it." No." After speaking, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Luo Lin.

"If your uncle wants it?"

"No!" This store belongs to his parents and grandfather, and no one will give it to anyone!An Yan walked to the door, thought for a while and turned back, "Luo Lin, I hope you don't have prejudice against my uncle. He took care of me growing up and never mentioned the benefits of being able to get benefits from the steamed stuffed bun shop. He was laid off and stayed at home. I told him to go to the store, but he didn't go either."

When he came home from the bun shop, his aunt Xue Xing was mopping the floor, beating her back while mopping.He wanted to go forward to take it, but Xue Xing refused with a smile.

"What housework do you guys do? Besides, you're still young, don't get tired." Xue Xing smiled and pressed An Yan to sit on the sofa, and brought a watermelon.He straightened An Yan's collar again, and asked with concern, "Did you go to dinner with Luo Lin again today? You two have a good relationship. But you should also pay attention to your temper, Luo Lin is a good kid, don't always be angry with others."

"Understood." An Yan's mood improved a lot after Xue Xing said such a few thoughtful words.The two talked about their cousin, An Yu, who was about to return from studying abroad. Xue Xing said that An Yu wanted to open a pastry shop when he came back, but she wanted An Yu to study in another shop first. It would be too risky to open a shop without experience.

An Yan wanted An Yu to study in Luo Lin's shop, but Luo Lin didn't like Xue Xing's family, and he couldn't hold Luo Lin back.I can only ask if the funds are enough. He has money. The money earned by the steamed stuffed bun shop these years, not much but not little, is all on his card.Xue Xing hired an accountant for him to ensure that the person in charge of the steamed stuffed bun shop would not be greedy for his money.

"What nonsense, it's all your money!" Xue Xing rarely put on a straight face, and scolded, "It's not easy for your parents to make money, so they can feel at ease if they use it on you. They definitely want you to live a worry-free and prosperous life. I have hands and feet with your uncle, and I can earn money to open a shop for him."

Although he was scolded, An Yan was moved. Xue Xing emphasized that no one could touch his money since he was a child. Even if he occasionally bought An Yu a snack of one or two yuan, Xue Xing would return the money to him.But the money that Xue Xing spent on him was not allowed to be returned.

His uncle and aunt were so kind to him, how could Luo Lin doubt them?Luo Lin said again with certainty.

An Yan couldn't figure it out, and wanted to go back to the house to wash her face, but Xue Xing stopped him, saying that she had a backache when he asked him to beat her back.He squeezed Xue Xing's waist, and said distressedly: "This time, we must hire a nanny."

"No!" Xue Xing sighed, "The friends you make are all rich people. You should be generous in buying clothes and eating, so don't lose face in front of them. I'm not tired, what work can I do at home?"

An Yan has grown up, and she doesn't want to listen to Xue Xing's words anymore, secretly making up her mind to hire a nanny home tomorrow.

"By the way, I asked you to ask the masters for the secret recipe, but they still refused to give it?" Xue Xing said, "Although they are very loyal to your father, but your father has been away for a long time, I am afraid they will have different ideas. I You can't let your parents' hard work be stolen, if you can't, you can sue them, this is your parents' inheritance, they can't steal it!"

"My parents signed a contract with them, saying that within 30 years, as long as they don't spread the secret recipe, they will be allowed to use this secret recipe. Even if we sue, we will not come here." This is a lie.An Yan went to ask for it once, but if the masters didn't give it, he didn't want it.These five masters and his father are sworn brothers. If his uncle insisted, his custody rights might be taken by these people.

His parents were busy during their lifetime, and he was often played with by these masters when he was a child.Both he and his parents believed in the masters, so the masters didn't give it to him, and he didn't rush to ask for it.Besides, it's useless for him to come here, and he doesn't know how to make buns.When the masters retire, they will naturally give it to him.

"Then we have to find a way to come here." Xue Xing said softly, "They are unreliable."

"Don't worry, I'll take over the bun shop after graduation."

Xue Xing froze, but quickly covered it up. "Aren't you going to travel around the world? Go, while you are young, don't worry about things in the store."

"not going."

"Go, why don't you go!" Xue Xing's face was very ugly when An Yan couldn't see, "I will keep an eye on them, you can play at ease. Your parents want you to live a good life, so they don't want to take money." This shop limits you."

"Can……"

Xue Xing said anxiously: "Don't worry, your brother is looking for an internship anyway, so let him go to the store to watch for you."

An Yan frowned: "He's learning pastry..." The store is full of authentic Chinese steamed stuffed buns!

"It makes no difference."

"I'll look after the store by myself." An Yan insisted that he has grown up and it's time to take responsibility.

Xue Xing still wanted to say something, but she was afraid that An Yan would become suspicious, so she had to hold back.

---------

An Yan made up his mind and spent the past few days wandering around the store.The date of An Yu's return to the country is getting closer, Xue Xing mentioned two more times about asking An Yu to go to the store for an internship, but An Yan refused to agree, but felt murmured in his heart.Xue Xing talked about how difficult it was for his parents and that the steamed stuffed bun shop was his parents' effort, but at the same time encouraged him to go out to play.Xue Xing's contradictory behavior reminded him of Luo Lin's advice.Although it wasn't enough to suspect Xue Xing all at once, she had a plan in mind.

If the person who told him was not Luo Lin, he would not waver at all.He trusts his uncle and aunt's family, but also loves Luo Lin.

He prepared money for An Yu to open a shop, and asked An Yu to go to the pastry shop for an internship, and it was also for An Yu's good.

He got tired of wandering around the store that day, so he went to his father's office to rest.This room is still reserved, and Xue Xing will come to clean it regularly.He just squinted for a while, when Xue Xing suddenly called.

"Xiao Yan, do you still remember how your parents died?"

Speaking of this at the first sentence, An Yan frowned fiercely.

"The man who killed your parents has been released from prison. He was not careful, but he has been in prison for so many years. He hates it!" Xue Xing laughed lowly at the other end, and his laughter made An Yan feel strange and terrified.Such an uncomfortable laugh, he had never heard Xue Xing make it.Every time Xue Xing scolded him, he still felt warm, because Xue Xing's words were full of concern for him.

"I asked him to find you, now." If An Yan has been indifferent to business, she can let An Yan go.But An Yan wants to go back to the bun shop, so don't blame her for being cruel.

Xue Xing hung up the phone, An Yan was stunned.An hour ago, when he was going out, Xue Xing carefully told him not to get tired, but he couldn't accept the contrast when he answered such a phone call suddenly.

The door was pushed open suddenly, An Yan saw the strange face coming in, suddenly woke up, opened the window and wanted to escape, but it was already too late.

The person came very quickly, he only had time to let out an exclamation, and the cold blade sliced ​​across his throat, so that he could only make the sound of "drinking".The visitor kicked him in the chest, locked the door from the inside, jumped out the window and left.

An Yan lay on the ground, feeling the temperature of his body receding little by little.The person who heard his exclamation was locked outside the door, unable to enter for a while.The phone rang, and although it was right next to his ear, An Yan could only lift his finger, but he couldn't get it.

"Do you want to automatically read short messages?" The voice of the machine also sounded like the sound of nature at the moment. "Automatically select Yes after 15 seconds."

15 seconds.An Yan's eyes went dark for a while, he had to persist for 15 seconds, no, he had to persist to be sent to the hospital, he didn't want to die.

"Luo Lin sent you a message, Xiao Yan, let's end the cold war. You can manage your store yourself, I will stand behind you and help you. I have time tonight, let's take wedding photos, custom-made suits It's here..."

A tear slipped from the corner of An Yan's eyes, and she closed her eyes.
