The splendid years of a talented lady

499 Chapter 1 Intensified ([-])
Standing by the carriage, while stroking the hair on her head, she looked at the signboards and plaques on both sides of the street, and after a few glances, she saw a shop with people lined up outside the window on the opposite side of the street.

Looking at the signboard with the words 'Sweet Dessert' hanging on the window, Su Xiazhi suddenly smiled: "It must have been difficult when you opened your first shop..."

"Ah?" Hearing what the Dong family was talking to, Xiao Wu was confused, so he had no choice but to ask: "Boss, are you talking to me?"

"Yes." Su Xiazhi put down her hand, and walked straight towards the dessert: "I said you just wait here, I'll go buy some desserts and go back..."

Walking to the other side of the street, she consciously stood behind those people, her eyes flicked left and right, and after watching for a while, she finally understood: it turned out that this dessert was opened in the nearby "Pinxianglou" inner……

"Ah!" After only two glances, Su Xiazhi's eyes lit up in a daze!
Even the customers in front had already finished their purchases, and when it was her turn, Su Xiazhi was still thinking about her own affairs: "Queen Jiang is using this trick well! When the business was first opened, it was neither famous nor marketable. She opened her first shop in Pinxiang Building, which is such a good place for business, and she happened to use other people's customers to attract some business for her own business.

"Ma'am, haven't you made your choice yet? Why don't you do the total and let the aunt behind you buy it first?"

A soft voice suddenly sounded from the window, bringing Su Xiazhi, who was in a daze alone, back to her senses. She turned her head to look in the window, and found a young woman with a big belly talking to herself.

"Ah?" She was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at the row of trays placed in the window, and then said: "Honey cake, jujube cake, trough cake, plus shortbread, each of which costs two catties..."

"You later!"

The young woman with a big belly took out the weighing plate from the boy standing in front, packed the pastry with her own hands, carefully wrapped it in oiled paper, and handed it to Su Xiazhi with both hands: "Madam is the first time here Come on, it's strange to see you."

"First time here? Hehe, yes, this is indeed my first time visiting this shop of yours." Su Xiazhi smiled and took a few packets of snacks, paid the money, turned and left.

"Sister-in-law, just look at it, why are you doing it yourself?" Seeing the guests walking away, the young man whispered to the woman who had retreated behind him: "If you are tired, brother Qingshan is here and I It’s hard to explain!”

"Hehe, it's okay." The woman blushed slightly, and turned to look at Su Xiazhi who was getting into the carriage.

Just now, she clearly heard the woman say the three words 'Caozi cake', and these three words are not even known to those guys who make dim sum every day in the cake workshop.

The empress once said a few years ago: This kind of cake also has another name, it is called trough cake, and the only person who can call this name is probably me...

How could that woman call out this name that she almost forgot?

Holding her waist, Liu Xiu walked out of the small shop slowly, and stood at the door of Pinxiang Building.

After returning home, she brought a few large bags of snacks to the children who came out, Su Xiazhi went to wash her hands before going back to the main room and sitting down.

Yan Xi gave her tea with both hands: "madam drink tea."

"Thank you!" Su Xiazhi took the teacup and drank it up in one gulp, quite proudly.

Putting down their teacups, both of them were thoughtful.

Ma'am drinking tea... Su Xiazhi pondered this sentence in his mind, why did he feel a little awkward?

Isn't this how the concubine of a rich family serves tea to the mistress?

Uh!It was too disgusting to extend this question, Su Xiazhi shook her head, and quickly stopped this infinitely imaginative story of her own!
But Yan Xi was stunned when she heard "thank you". Everyone in the palace knew that only the empress would say such words...

After thinking about it again, Yan Xi figured it out by herself: it must have been learned by those wives who knew the words of the empress. Unexpectedly, even the government officials who had only entered Beijing for a few months also spread the word.

The two women were thinking wildly, but one by one had already opened several packets of dim sum: "Mother, this dim sum is different from the ones we bought in Ping County!"

"This is……"

"This is a snack created by our empress, and it's only available in the capital of Daliang!" Seeing a few open oil paper bags on the table, Yan Xi said with surprise: "This snack is bought by 'Sweet Dessert' .”

Created by the empress?These words made Su Xiazhi curl her lips: She created something, but she 'moved' it here, okay...

"So it's like this!" Several little girls nodded and moved to the table, Jiaojiao first took a piece and handed it to Su Xiazhi: "Mother, try it first!"

Su Xiazhi waved her hand: "You guys eat with Aunt Yan Xi, mother doesn't like sweets..."

Seeing the children and Yan Xi laughing and eating snacks while talking, Su Xiazhi poured himself another cup of tea.

Holding it in her hand, she remembered the place where the first dessert shop opened...

This gave her a great inspiration!
In the next few days, when she went out to look at the shops again, Su Xiazhi only picked out those restaurants and restaurants that were open and the business was not very good. If there were any restaurants and restaurants that looked good in size and location, she would directly ask the owner of the shop for the price. After so many times, she really talked into a family!
Although the location of the shop was not in the inner city of the imperial city that she had originally envisioned, fortunately, that place was not far from home.

The new shop is quite big, it's too big for Su Xiazhi who just wants to open a noodle shop!

The pattern of upper and lower floors, the backyard is spacious, in addition to a row of three kitchens, there are two rows of vacant houses, which can be used as a place for assistants and warehouses, and there is another thing that Su Xiazhi is particularly satisfied with: in the backyard there are A well of sweet water!

Because the new shop is not far from the moat of the southern city of the imperial capital, the well was not deep. After seeing it, she was very satisfied with it: "That's right, you can't drown anyone even if you jump in it..."

Pulling Xiucai and Jiang Wen to look over blindly, the two beautiful men who are not in harmony with each other can't see why, but they nodded together: "Not bad!"
