Chapter 51

A month later, Meng's Pastry Shop officially opened.

The loud sound of firecrackers broke the silence of the morning.As the firecrackers burned out, the dragon dancers began their performance.

All the neighbors in the neighborhood came, and those who heard the noise and rushed over to join in the fun surrounded the place.Dongjie, which has been silent for a long time, finally ushered in spring.

Meng Yuxuan stood in front of the store and said to the neighbors who came over: "Everyone, after a month of repairs, our Meng's pastry shop officially opened. Today is the first day, and all pastries are half price. We will resume tomorrow At the original price. There is a special tasting booth at the door, and everyone is welcome to try it.”

"That's great. Niang Xi'er, we've been hungry for your cakes for half a month, and we're going to have a good time today." Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for the honor." Meng Yuxuan smiled and said, "Please come inside."

Doctor Wang and silly boy Fang Qi congratulated with presents.During this month, Fang Qi has become friends with Shangguanxi Heizi.The three children have a very good relationship.With this relationship, Dr. Wang, who originally respected Meng Yuxuan as a person, often walked around with their family.And Meng Yuxuan took this opportunity to learn acupuncture and see a doctor from Dr. Wang.

Maybe it's because of frequent drinking of space water, Meng Yuxuan has a super memory.In addition, she has practiced martial arts, and all parts of her body are very flexible.Therefore, no matter what Dr. Wang teaches, she can master it right away.Doctor Wang shook his head and sighed every time he saw her, saying that she should not be born as a daughter.If it is a man, such qualifications will surely benefit the people of the world.

In fact, Meng Yuxuan is not as powerful as he said.The reason why she has improved so fast is not because she goes to the space to read medical books every day.Those medical books cannot be found outside, and every one is a classic.Dr. Wang helped her a lot, and in order to thank him, she hand-copied a copy for him.Dr. Wang was very excited when he saw it. He kept it on the bedside and read it every day.

"Xi'erniang, let's join in the fun and enjoy your joy." Mrs. Fang and Elder Zhou came with presents.Many white-clothed scholars followed behind them.

Those scholars are new students recruited by Mr. Zhou.They knew that Mr. Zhou's pastries were bought from here, so they offered to accompany the teacher to come to cheer.

"Mr. Zhou, Auntie, please come in." Meng Yuxuan said to Shangguanxi inside: "Xi'er, Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Fang are here."

Recently, Shangguanxi often went to the teahouse, and now not only Zhou Laofang liked this child, but also many scholars in the teahouse.With Shangguanxi's talent of never forgetting, many adult scholars can't match his insight and knowledge, and they don't know how Shangguanhuan taught before.

Shangguan Xi ran out from inside, threw herself into Fang's arms, and called out sweetly: "Grandma, Xi'er misses you so much."

Seeing the look of this little elf, Fang felt very much in love with her.She held Shangguanxi's small face and said happily: "Could it be that you often eat your mother's cakes, so the mouth is so sweet? I just saw the milk yesterday, and I think about it today? This little monkey is really a ghost."

Shangguan Xi said seriously: "The ancients said, don't deceive yourself inside, and don't deceive others outside. Xi'er is an honest and good boy, remember what the ancients said, and never dare to cheat."

Elder Zhou stroked his beard, looked at Shangguanxi lovingly, and said, "My good boy, I believe in you. Let's not block the door, let's go in and talk."

Meng Yuxuan watched Elder Zhou and Mrs. Fang enter the house with a few children.There are a lot of people today, so she can give the children to them, so she can worry less.

In the inner room, Heizi held tea, placed it in front of Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Fang, and then backed away.

Seeing Heizi on the opposite side, Elder Zhou called out, "Son, come here."

When Heizi saw Mr. Zhou calling him, a light flashed in his eyes.He heard that this is the master Juren, and he is also the most learned person here.He was not as likable as Xi'er, and he didn't know whether Master Juren liked him or not, so every time he could only stand silently by the side, not daring to interrupt their conversation.

"Hello, Mr. Juren." Heizi had the honest character of a country boy.His eyes are very clean, and every time the children have any conflicts, he always gives in.

"You're welcome. Call me Mr. Zhou!" Mr. Zhou said with a smile, "How are you doing recently? Do you want to go to a private school?"

"Is it really possible? Can I go to a private school?" Heizi looked at Mr. Zhou excitedly.Suddenly, he thought of something, and his face darkened. "I... I still won't go."

Mrs. Fang pulled Shangguanxi to say something, and raised her head when she heard the noise from them, and smiled lovingly: "Aren't you very happy just now? Why don't you want to go?"

"I...my family is poor and cannot afford Shuxiu." Heizi lowered his head sadly.

"The old man decided to open a private school. If you come to school, the old man will waive your severance. It's just that the old man is old and can't do some jobs. If you want to help the old man chop firewood, it will be regarded as your severance ” Zhou Lao took Heizi’s face into consideration, and deliberately used such tasks as chopping firewood to offset his Shuxiu, lest he care about other people’s eyes.

"Is it really possible? Can I really study in Mr. Zhou's private school?" Heizi said excitedly with his eyes wide open.

"It's natural. The old man called you specially, why can't you believe it? You were studying with Xi Erniang, and Xi Erniang's knowledge is obvious to all. But in the private school, you can discuss and debate with other students. It's the experience that Xi Erniang can't learn here. You can still learn from Xi Erniang." Fang said with a smile.

"The old man has observed you for a long time, and saw that although your aura is not as good as Xi'er, you are a real child. As long as you study hard, I believe you will be fine." Zhou Lao smiled lightly: "Go back and find your father Let's discuss it with my mother. If you agree, come to my teahouse to report! I have bought several old houses next to it and refurbished them. Celebrities came to give lectures, I believe it will be helpful to your studies."

In front of the shop, Lin Cai and her newly recovered husband Zheng Xinzhi helped Meng Yuxuan greet customers.Nearby neighbors all came, and almost all gave a gift.Lin Cai and Zheng Xinzhi are responsible for selling goods and collecting money, and things like receiving gifts are the tasks of Meng Yuxuan and the masked Shen Chenzhi.

"Husband, my sister's business is so good, if I go to the countryside to help her set up a tofu workshop, what will happen to the business here?" Lin Cai asked while collecting money.

"I believe the girl already has an idea! She is so smart, she must have thought of everything we can think of." Zheng Xinzhi had just recovered from a serious illness and lost a lot of weight.However, after Meng Yuxuan's good food conditioning, it is much better now than it was a month ago.

After Zheng Xinzhi came to his senses, he knew that Meng Yuxuan had saved him, so he knelt down to thank his benefactor no matter what he said.Meng Yuxuan saw that the husband and wife were genuine people, so she became brother and sister with him.

Originally, Meng Yuxuan wanted to set up a tofu workshop, and asked the two of them to go to the countryside to manage it, and said that the profits they would get would be shared equally.But they didn't want to take advantage of Meng Yuxuan, so they said they only took [-]% of the profit.Since the pastry shop is called Meng's pastry shop, then the tofu shop is called Meng's tofu workshop.From now on, those who come out from Meng Yuxuan's place will all bear the name of the Meng family.

Happy opening.The endless stream of customers occupied the pastry shop.More and more people came after hearing the news.Lin Cai and his wife were too busy, and Meng Yuxuan joined the team camp to greet the guests.

In order to enrich the types of pastries in the pastry shop, Meng Yuxuan has been researching and making new pastries during the renovation of the shop.After her hard work, there are now more than [-] kinds of pastries in the pastry shop.It's just that the cost of repairs and pastries, and customizing these counters for placing pastries have spent all their savings.She is now a pauper again.

At night, Meng Yuxuan, Shangguanxi, Lin Cai and his wife, Heizi and Shen Chenzhi sat at the table, looking at the scattered copper coins all over the table.

Lin Cai smiled and said, "Just now, Heizi and Xi'er were asked to put loose money into strings, one thousand cash is a string. Now there is not much loose money left, and they will be sorted out soon."

"Mother, you rest, Heizi and I will do it." Shangguanxi took the initiative to take over the task of sorting out the change.

Meng Yuxuan looked tenderly at Shangguanxi wearing copper coins seriously.Under the candlelight, that cute little face was flushed.

Shen Chenzhi on the opposite side also looked at her with gentle eyes.There was a predatory expression on the face hidden under the mask.

With more and more time spent with her, Shen Chenzhi's oppressive ferocity became more and more uncontrollable.He just wanted to snatch her away, cut off her wings, and let her stay by his side forever.That guy named Shangguan Huan was really an eyesore.He has sent someone to inquire about where he is.How can such a countryman be worthy of such a perfect woman?

Meng Yuxuan felt a little uneasy when she noticed that fiery gaze.Did she really save people who shouldn't be saved?But in that case, she couldn't help it.

"A total of 31." Lin Cai interrupted Meng Yuxuan's meditation.

"Excluding the cost, the net profit is 20 taels." Meng Yuxuan said calmly: "Tomorrow the original price will be restored, and the source of customers will be affected. However, our pastries are sold for a few pennies. If you eat them today and think they taste good, you will come again." .”

"Sister, you are so powerful. I have never admired a person so much. You have convinced me." Lin Cai praised.

"Recently, my sister-in-law and elder brother are exhausted from the things in the store. But we have just opened, and we have to be tired for a few days. When the busy days are over, I will buy two girls and come back to help, so that I won't be so tired." Meng Yuxuan then said to Shen Chenzhi: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your help today."

"You are Shen's benefactor, and it is right to do things for you." Shen Chenzhi said with a light smile, "But I'm really hungry, Madam should treat us well."

"Of course. Wait a moment, I'll cook right away. Xi'er will help my mother light the fire." Meng Yuxuan said, pulling Shangguan Xi to cook.

"Sister has been tired all day, don't cook, why not order noodles." Lin Cai said, "I'm here to help."
