[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

Being ridiculed by the crowd, the old lady blushed with embarrassment, "Where did the yellow-mouthed child come from..."

"Clang, clang—" the guard drew his sword.

The old woman was immediately persuaded, "You, what are you going to do? This is at the feet of the emperor, is there any law for the king?"

Although she spoke harshly, she shrank her shoulders and kept hiding behind others.

The people queuing up here can be seen to be ordinary people with no money and no status, so she dared to act violently. If she met the rich and powerful, she would not dare to make mistakes.

And although this young man was dressed very simply, he was dressed in silk and had a guard with a knife. He must be from a noble family, and she would definitely not be able to provoke him.

"Wang Fa?" Yin Qi laughed: "You just scolded me, you just insulted the princes and nobles, and the master made you take you to the yamen to beat the board!"

Hearing this, the old woman was really frightened. She rolled her cloudy eyes, and then raised her forehead, "Oh, I've made this old mistake again. I'm going to find a doctor!"

After finishing speaking, she wanted to rub the soles of her feet with oil and run away, but was stopped by the guard's saber. Yin Qi said, "You can only leave after saluting and apologizing to these two sisters."

The old woman hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry! The two ladies and lords have a lot, so please forgive the old lady for her bad mouth!"

As he spoke, he was afraid that Yinqi would be dissatisfied, so he slapped himself twice.

Yin Qi blinked at the two young girls who suffered innocently, "Will the two young ladies forgive her?"

The two girls were in a good mood, and one of them said: "Forget it, I don't want to bother with this screwdriver, you can go!"

The old woman ran away in a hurry to thank En, almost stumbling with her left foot and right foot.

The onlookers looked at her embarrassed back and laughed again.

The two girls thanked Yinqi with a smile, and said that they would give up the seat to him. After all, there was a commotion, and they actually wanted to leave a long time ago.

Yinqi waved his hand and said, "I am the boss."

"Eh?"

"what???"

The crowd was in an uproar!Which powerful child let him out to do business and play at such a young age?

Everyone cast shocked and curious gazes, but the little boss walked into the shop with his hands behind his back like a grown-up.

It's just that he is small, with a round waist and short hands, so he can't easily put his hands behind his back like an adult. He can only slightly arch his buttocks, his movements are clumsy and funny, and people can't help but love him.

So cute!

It's still early, and it's not the auspicious time for the store to open.

Yin Qi entered through the back door, and was amazed by the venue of the 'Flower Appreciation Party' set up by Er Niang!

The flower viewing party that Er Niang talked about actually held a garden party for viewing chrysanthemums.

Originally, Xiu Min only gave him a small shop, but he transformed the backyard into a back kitchen, and the front was a place to sell and eat, only about forty square meters.

But this time, in order to hold the flower viewing party, Xiu Min found another way and rented a few hundred square meters of wasteland next to the shop.

Level wasteland, build fences, lay lawns, build stone steps, plant bamboo, build rockery, build pergolas, dig curved water canals, and build a curtain flower path...

The most amazing thing is the hanging curtain flower path. On both sides of the stone path path, a ten-meter-long shelf is built in the style of a grape trellis. Green vines are wrapped around it and hang down like a curtain. The curtain is full of colorful small flowers, which is extremely romantic. up.

Upon closer inspection, the hanging flowers were not real flowers, but made of rags.But this doesn't affect Huajing's fairy spirit at all.

Yinqi loves all beautiful things, so he walked back and forth in the flower path several times.

Just found a seat in the garden and sat down.

The seats in the garden are also very wild, some are rattan chairs and rattan tables, some are stone chairs and stone tables, all of which are matched with the scenery.The seats are well arranged without disturbing each other. Sitting among them, you can enjoy the scenery of Shichahai.

And all these constructions took only six or seven days.

Yinqi couldn't help feeling emotional, what can't be done with money?

My mother-in-law is so generous!

Yin Qi was feeling so emotional, and Milk Tea walked over with the old shopkeeper holding the account book.

Milk tea is now serving as a teacher for the clerk, and at the same time learning how to do business from the old shopkeeper. At the same time, he also teaches the old shopkeeper to use forms to keep accounts, which is quite good.

Milk tea told Yinqi that this wasteland was only rented for one month, and the rent plus the money for renovation cost 300 taels.

"What?!" Yin Qi was stunned, "Didn't the money come from my mother?"

"Ah... no." Milk Tea was inexplicably guilty when he asked, "I thought it was you."

He comforted him and said: "Look at these precious chrysanthemums, they cost far more than 1000 taels. The empress empress borrowed them for you."

Yinqi raised his forehead, "If a guest breaks it, wouldn't I be at a big loss?"

Milk tea: "The servants have arranged for someone to look after them in the garden."

Fine.

Yinqi asked about the time, and the milk tea said that it would be auspicious time in a while, so Yinqi followed her to see what was going to be sold in a while.

When the auspicious time arrived, Yin Qi came to the shop, stepped forward and pulled the red silk on the signboard, and the three gilded characters of "Xianpinju" came out, and the unveiling ceremony was simply over.

The common people in line applauded spontaneously, thinking of having snacks.

The [-] snacks to be distributed have already been moved to the door of the store, the red cloth on the table was lifted, and the clerk began to distribute.

The one at the front was a strong man, who only got a round, soft pastry-like item sprinkled with powdered sugar in his hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "I came to line up before dawn and waited for more than an hour. , just give this thing? It’s not enough to fit between the teeth!”

Just as Yin Qi was about to say something, the sound of milk tea came from the shop.

"Brother, why don't you taste the taste first, or go to the store to see the price, and then say whether it's worth waiting in line for more than an hour."

The milk tea was originally very beautiful and had a nice voice. When the strong man saw it, his eyes were dazzled, "Oh, good, good..."

He followed the milk tea into the shop in a blissful way, as if he was intoxicated by the beauty and couldn't help himself.However, as soon as he entered the store, he was attracted by the delicious and sweet smell in the store, and instantly forgot to look at the beauty.

"What's this smell?!" He exclaimed.

The people behind the strong man, seeing the stunning beauty of the shop assistant, no matter what they got, no matter what they got, they all wanted to squeeze into the shop to see the beauties.

The No.11 guest was a scholar. Before he entered, he saw a strong man walking out with a strange expression. His feet were like the wind, and he walked away in an instant.

The scholar was wondering, as soon as he stepped into the store, he immediately smelled the sweet fragrance that hit the soul.The clerk greeted him enthusiastically and introduced him to the food in the store.

The scholar was a little flattered, and accompanied by the guilty conscience of the poor.If he had money, he wouldn't have come to line up for free snacks.

In the next second, his eyes were startled by a huge glass counter on the left hand side of the entrance, and his eyes were like copper bells.

Such a large piece of glass is priceless, right?

In the glass display case, there are "pastry" with attractive color and luster, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance.But after seeing the price, he gulped, and at the same time, cold sweat broke out on his back.

Donuts are [-] cents a piece, pea yellow is [-] cents a piece (two yuan a piece)...

That's it, are they still opening specials? !

In the eyes of the rich, it should not be expensive.But the scholar himself...

"That's all," he interrupted the clerk's introduction, "I'm ashamed, so I'm leaving!" He understood why the strong man had a strange expression.

The clerk was still enthusiastic and did not show any contemptuous attitude, "Then look forward to your next visit."

The scholar was even more embarrassed, turned around and left the shop.

The rest of the people who came in were mostly strong men and scholars. After seeing the price, they left with an embarrassed smile.

As more and more people came in and out, the smiles on the faces of some shop assistants finally froze.

A female clerk ran to ask Yin Qi who was drinking milk tea in a private seat in the store: "My little master, no one is buying it, so can this store still be opened?"

"Don't worry," Yin Qi smiled, "Those who have entered the store, can they still forget the fragrance in the store? Those who have tried snacks, can they not show off to others?"

What he wants to earn has never been the money of the poor, but Er Niang said that the opening needs to be lively and word of mouth.This opening event is to earn him word of mouth.

It's just that he still feels sorry for the 300 taels of silver he spent, and he doesn't know when he will get back the money?

At the same time, the people waiting outside the door gradually discovered a strange phenomenon.

Most of the people who came out of the store would immediately take out free snacks, open the oil-paper package, eagerly and carefully took a bite, and then showed disbelieving and amazed expressions.

Some people will continue to eat with enjoyment, while others put it away carefully, thinking that they want to go home and give their family a taste?

Someone finally couldn't help it, and said to an uncle who was nodding and eating a biscuit when he came out of the shop, "Uncle, is this really so delicious?"

The uncle looked up and saw hundreds of pairs of eyes staring directly at him, waiting for the answer. He couldn't help but took half a step back, but then he grinned proudly in an instant.

"Delicious, delicious in the world! It doesn't fall into the title of 'Xianpinju' at all, hiss... Only immortals can eat such delicious food?"

This thing called 'cookie biscuit' is crispy, sweet and melts in the mouth. It exudes a rich milky and sweet aroma in the mouth, as well as the slightly burnt aroma of baked goods. It will give people a great feeling when swallowing. satisfaction.

"It's delicious, why don't you buy more yourself?" Someone asked.

The uncle smiled even more proudly: "Because it's expensive! Fortunately, uncle, I came to line up early in the morning, otherwise I might not be able to eat such delicious biscuits in this life."

Everyone: "..."

Of course the uncle is proud, these people can’t get snacks anymore, they can only spend their own money, but if they want to spend money, if they haven’t tasted it, who would be willing to buy it?Doesn't it hurt?

Most people are definitely reluctant to part with it, so they will have no luck in their life.

While talking, in order not to arouse public anger and get beaten, he turned around decisively and left.

As he left, he thought silently, this time he was really reluctant to buy it, but such a delicious food, even if he saved money, he would buy it for his grandson to taste.

As for what he got this time...it was so fragrant, he couldn't bear it anymore.

When the people outside the door heard the uncle's description, they all felt itchy.There were a hundred people who went out, and they took the initiative to ask, if they don't plan to receive snacks, can they enter the store directly?

Unexpectedly, I was told that there were too many customers in the store and I had to queue up.

It's been half a morning, and people were already impatient, but seeing the expressions of those who left the store and listening to their description of the fragrance in the store, everyone was really curious, so they continued to wait.

Yinqi waited in the store for half an hour, and finally there were two real customers out of a hundred people.

It's also a coincidence that they are the two girls that Yinqi helped.Although the two were dressed in ordinary clothes, they had extraordinary manners. When they saw the prices in the store, they showed no strange expressions at all.

Among them, the green-clothed woman has a faint posture of the blue-clothed woman, and it seems that the master and servant of a family with a good family background.

The two of them had long been aroused by the people who left the store, and they were also enticed by the smell in the store.I just got the biscuits and egg tarts. I didn't try them right away because I was concerned about my manners, but I couldn't wait to go home.

The two looked at the items sold in the store, and after being introduced by the clerk, they decided to order a cup of milk tea each, and each of the desserts.

The store is newly opened, and the varieties it sells are very simple. The only drink is milk tea, which can be added with pearls, taro balls, red beans, taro paste, pudding, and grass fruit.

Yinqi pursues high-quality goods, and the shop assistants only sell milk tea if the average score can reach around 70.

Desserts and snacks are the same, and there are currently only seven kinds: egg tarts, cup cakes, cookies, toast, toast, donuts, and pea yellows, all of which are exquisite.

At first glance, apart from the traditional Beijing snack pea yellow, there is nothing they have seen or heard of.

After ordering milk tea, the clerk at the counter said with a smile, "Guests, the store's rule is to pay first and then pick up the items."

The two were stunned for a while, what else?There's something quirky about this store.

If it weren't for the enthusiastic attitude of the shop assistants who kept smiling, they would almost feel upset.

A cup of milk tea is 25 Wen, which is also a special price.The original price ranges from [-] to [-] yuan, depending on whether you order a large cup or a small cup, and how much ingredients are added.

The girl in green paid the money, and the clerk gave them a vertical wooden sign engraved with the number 'one', and suggested with a smile that they could go to the garden next door to enjoy the flowers.

Just find the seat you like and put down the wooden sign, and the clerk will deliver the freshly made milk tea later.

The novel mood of the two was mobilized again, and they walked through the bead curtain with the wooden sign and entered the garden next door.

"Wow—Miss, that chrysanthemum over there is 'Green Peony', right?" The girl in green immediately exclaimed when she saw the famous chrysanthemum not far away.

The only famous product she recognizes is 'Green Peony', because she saw it once in another man's house with the young lady.

The girl in blue hurriedly took a few steps to inspect, "Sure enough!"

The two walked closer and took a closer look, and found that this 'Green Peony' was in excellent condition, which could be called a 'treasure'.

The girl in green couldn't hold back, and wanted to touch it, but was stopped by the attendant, "Girl, this flower is very precious, so you can only watch it from a distance."

Following the waiter's finger, there is a wooden sign beside Hao Ran, which says "Please look at it from a distance, don't touch it, and you will be held accountable for any damage."

The two looked at each other, dumbfounded.

The waiter said again: "There are also famous products such as 'Shuai Qi', 'Phoenix Wings', 'West Lake Liuyue', 'Shizhang Hanging Curtain' and other famous products in the garden. You can take a look at them."

When the girl in blue heard these names, her eyes showed surprise, and as soon as she turned her footsteps, she went to the depths of the garden, feeling quite impatient.

Walking to the curtain flower path, the two of them were amazed again. Walking into it, it was like entering a paradise, feeling like they didn't know where they were...

Yin Qi was sitting in the shop, the customers came and went, and there were hundreds of shoppers, less than one of them. Fortunately, on the invitation card of the flower viewing party, it was written that 'you can participate with any consumption', otherwise, he would have to worry about the garden being ruined , lost everything.

But how can we earn back the cost of the garden?

While he was thinking of countermeasures, the girl in blue was led by a waiter to find him.

The girl gave him a Manchurian salute, "Hello, little boss, I wonder if you can book the flower viewing party in your store?"

Yin Qi's eyes lit up, it's good to book the room, he won't worry about the 'safety' of those precious chrysanthemums if there are fewer people, but how much is the right fee for the room booking?

Seeing him frowning, the girl in blue introduced herself: "I am Wu Yunzhu, the daughter of Duke Fu Ersai. I will invite the noble daughters of the princes and ministers in the court, and I will also introduce business to you, little boss."

She is a lively Manchu aunt. After reading the newspaper, she heard that there is excitement here, so she dressed up as a folk girl and came to experience the life of the common people.

I didn't expect there to be such a surprise as precious chrysanthemums, and the food in the store is also extremely delicious.

Yin Qi was more satisfied when she heard that she was going to invite people to come. How is your lady, everyone is well-bred, and they only enjoy flowers and tea, so they won't spoil the garden.

He nodded, "You can book the room, but I don't charge a booking fee. I only require that your minimum consumption is more than 50 taels, and you can only book the room for one hour."

"Huh?" Wu Yunzhu obviously didn't understand the 'minimum consumption'.

"That is to say, if the things you buy in my store are less than 50 taels, you have to pay 50 taels of silver before you can book the place."

"Okay." Wu Yunzhu readily asked the maid to pay, and paid 50 taels straight away, "I booked the Sishi Flower Appreciation Party, can I order food after my friends come?"

"Yes." Yinqi's rules are very flexible (ren) and lively (xing).

After Wu Yunzhu left, half an hour later, the front of Xianpinju gradually became deserted.

After half a morning, nearly a thousand people visited the store, and less than 20 people paid for things.

It's because almost all the people who come here are ordinary people. The things are delicious, but they are too expensive!Those who can buy things are either slaves of rich families, or just pass by, to see the excitement here, to see the strange little rich people.

As time approached, an expensive carriage stopped in front of the store, and Wu Yunzhu, who had changed into gorgeous clothes, arrived first, waiting for her boudoir friends at the door.

Soon, carriages stopped at the door, and luxurious young girls arrived one after another.

Seeing the small shop in front of them, the noble ladies couldn't help but frown, "What kind of flowers are there in this kind of place?"

On the side of the store, the garden has a high fence and tangled vines, so that the scene inside cannot be seen.

Wu Yunzhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is a hole inside."

He also strongly recommends his family's milk tea and pastries, "The hot pot tea and desserts here are absolutely outstanding, even more delicious than those rewarded by the palace!"

Yinqi couldn't help laughing when he heard that, of course, what the royal chef in the palace made was no better than what the shop assistants he specially trained.

Suddenly, Yinqi saw a somewhat familiar person, he was a little stunned, because the girl looked very much like Nalan Rongruo.

Could it be his sister?

If so, she might have seen him at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.

In order to hide his identity, Yin Qi turned around and went to the backyard, asking Milk Tea to inquire about it.

As soon as the milk tea appeared, all the ladies were stunned. Nalan Caiwei paused and refused to enter the shop, "Wait!"

Wu Yunzhu didn't understand, so, "Miss Nalan, what's wrong?"

Nalan Caiwei has the most right to speak among the little sisters. When she yelled to stop, all the noble girls stopped.

"Is this store a female shopkeeper?" She still looks so good-looking, "Isn't it some kind of dishonest place?"

Yinqi has good ears, and he can hear her words in the backyard. He suddenly loses affection for the handsome Rongruo's sister. They are both women, so why are they so hostile towards other women?

He immediately called the old shopkeeper and asked him to bring back milk tea, and Miss Nalan was not worthy of any treats.

"No," Wu Yunzhu explained to Nalan Caiwei, "The young owner of this store is a four or five-year-old noble son, how could he do such dishonest business?"

"Four or five-year-old honorable son, who is it?" Nalan Caiwei asked.

"I don't know about that." Under Wu Yunzhu's guarantee that "you will definitely make this trip worthwhile", the ladies finally stepped into the store.

In an instant, the rich aroma of milk and toast captured everyone's sense of smell, and the maids with poor concentration all took a deep breath, showing intoxicated expressions.

"It smells so good, miss!" Nalan Caiwei's maid said with a smile.

Nalan Caiwei was also aroused by the strong fragrance, but she just nodded reservedly on the face, telling the maid not to be rude, "Where are the precious chrysanthemums?"

Wu Yunzhu showed the way, and everyone entered the garden again.

Soon, Yinqi heard the uncontrollable exclamation of the ladies...

Cups of milk tea and portions of freshly baked bread are served in the garden.

The noble ladies were indeed attracted by the precious chrysanthemums at first, but when they drank milk tea and arrived late for dessert, their taste buds were completely overwhelmed by the rare delicacy.

Nalan Caiwei has always been proud, seeing everyone with an intoxicated expression first, and then eagerly pouring food into her mouth, as if she was starving, she snorted in her heart.

Have you ever eaten something good in your life?

"As a noble lady, how can I let myself be in such a state of eating and drinking?" Nalan Caiwei stopped her.

They are still adding something to chew in the milk tea, and they are making a lot of noise, which is ridiculous!

Everyone was embarrassed by her words, Wu Lanzhu said: "Miss Nalan, you have the best manners, how about showing me a demonstration?"

Nalan Caiwei chuckled, picked up the cup gracefully, and took a sip of the milk tea.

(see small theater)
