A mother in Xia Qinglian's room took over the two food boxes that Zhou Xiaoxiao had brought, and saw that the rest of the utensils were small square boxes full of pastries.The mother cleaned up and said, "This rice cake is refreshing and not greasy, which is what grandma likes. This shortbread is sweet and has a salty fragrance, and it is the taste of the second master. Miss Zhou is really interested."

Xia Qinglian nodded and said, "Mrs. Zhang, you have to say something to Guan Shi. From now on, all the snacks in our house will be made with December cakes."

Zhou Xiaoxiao got up and thanked him.

Xia Qinglian gave her a hand, waved her hand and said, "This is nothing, it's my sister's delicate snacks. In the future, customers will come like a cloud, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it even in line."

He also ordered the servant woman to make two minutes of Miyun Long to drink with Zhou Xiaoxiao to relieve fatigue.

After drinking, Xia Qinglian said: "The twelfth of this month is the morning sun. I want to plan a banquet to explore the spring, and I will invite famous people in the city. When the flower is banquet, the fruit refreshment is not indecent, then I will ask my sister to bother."

Zhou Xiaoxiao gave his hands a light blow, "Ah, sister, I really feel sorry for me. It's just such a laboring sister, how can I make it easy."

Xia Qinglian looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao and said that she was sorry, but she was too busy to sit still, looking at herself with round eyes, as if waiting for her next words.

I sighed in my heart, at such a young age, but with such a thorough heart, I had no choice but to draw a thin letter from my sleeve.

"A few days ago, my uncle sent a letter from Beijing, and asked the Yu couple to forward it."

She avoided Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes, and said softly: "My family is discussing marriage with my uncle recently, and good news will probably come soon. Please..."

Xia Qinglian is innocent in nature, this unconventional remark is not round.Had to cough to hide his embarrassment.I can't take the conversation anymore.

Zhou Xiaoxiao took the letter, rubbed the corner of the letter lightly for a moment, only smiled lightly, and didn't say much. She straightened her clothes and got up to say goodbye.

Later, when Yu Xingyi returned to his house, he saw a plate of yellow and round pastry on the table, which happened to be empty in his belly, so he took one and took one bite. Only the meringue was crispy and the bean paste was sweet and greasy. The oily egg yolk is salty and delicious.Yu Xingyi is a good sweet food, and he consumes a lot of physical energy during daily exercises, and likes heavy sweets and oils.Can not help eating three or five in one breath.Seeing his wife Xia Qinglian coming in, she pushed the plate and said, "A-Lian, this pancake is very delicious. Come and try it."

"This is a snack made by Miss Zhou. She intends to open a bakery, tried a few snacks, and delivered it herself in the morning."

"Hmm. This craft is very good. When I eat, I feel that it is not much different from the one made."

"She stayed with us for a few days, and she even knew your and my taste preferences. She is a very careful girl. It's a pity that my mother doesn't like her." Xia Qinglian took a freshly brewed cup from the maid. Fragrant slices passed over.

Yu Xingyi took a drink and drank it.

"Did the fifth brother's letter be given to her?"

"Naturally I gave it. Mother's words were also conveyed. I can't speak, things are too blunt. Although Sister Zhou didn't say much, she must be a little uncomfortable in her heart."

"She feels uncomfortable for a while, and it's nothing. I have a lot of good men here in Fengxiang, and you will pay attention to her when you look back."

However, when Zhou Xiaoxiao returned home, he first took a look at the pavement of Qingshi Street.

The decorating matter is coming to an end in an orderly manner.

All materials, clay water, and big wood masters have already settled their wages, and there is a little sticky and lacquer left, and the little carpenter is doing the final repair process.

The shopkeeper Bing Xiaoer hired had also sorted out familiar things in the store, and when he saw Zhou Xiaoxiao, he greeted him as his boss.

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked around and found nothing else.Go back to the house through the corner door.

Juanzi, the newly purchased maidservant, ran out all the way to meet her.

Juanzi is a maid with a big waist and a round waist. His arms are powerful enough to shake dozens of pounds of dough.When buying manpower, Zhou Xiaoxiao took her strength and kept her.

Her eyes were as wide as her waist, and she didn't see Zhou Xiaoxiao's concern at all, and she happily wrapped Zhou Xiaoxiao's arms with a pair of floured hands.

"The lady is back, sister Ji took us to steam a new pot of dim sum, waiting for the lady to see."

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked down at the letter that had not been opened all the way in his hand, smiled bitterly, and followed into the workshop.

The newly built workshop was filled with smoke, and several women dressed in overalls, with silver cords and ties, were busy in the white mist.

The leading woman who had more than 30 people call Ji’s wife, saw Zhou Xiaoxiao come in, wiped her hands covered with flour on the gown, holding up a cage of fresh pastry, and said, “This is a new gift today. Yes, the little lady can make it look like?"

Aunt Ji’s family was originally in the business of cooking cakes and steamed buns, and she was able to make a living at the beginning. Unexpectedly, her man was suffering from tuberculosis last year. With the help of the whole family, she left the seller and sought medicine.Leaving the widow and orphans, Gao Lei couldn't stand the debt, and couldn't make ends meet, so she had to sell herself.

Fortunately, meeting Zhou Xiaoxiao is not afraid of her new widow and only fancy her craftsmanship.

Not only did she sell her money, she also entrusted her to take care of the workshop, and the monthly money was calculated separately, and she allowed her seven-year-old children to live in the courtyard with her.So Aunt Ji was very grateful to Zhou Xiaoxiao and she started working very hard.

Zhou Xiaoxiao took the bamboo steamer, without much words, picked up a table and chair by the window and sat down.Put the steamer on the table, staring in a daze, the newly cooked noodles steamed with white mist, and Zhou Xiaoxiao's always smiling face seemed to show a little sadness.

Juanzi was about to step forward, but was pulled by Aunt Ji, "Do your business, you have something to do with the little lady, don't trouble her."

Zhou Xiaoxiao sat out for a moment, bowed her head and opened the crumpled letter in her hand, unfolding a thin piece of letter paper.

On the letter paper are familiar handwritings by Yu Xingzhi, but the tone is very unfamiliar, with a few words of thanks, polite and alienated greetings, and the words are full of farewells that no longer meet.Zhou Xiaoxiao read the letter back and forth several times, carefully flipping through the front and back, without seeing a trace of lingering emotion.

She closed her eyes, and Yu Xingzhi's face appeared in her mind.

The son of Hanshan Lengyue is like jade, and the spring breeze moved my heart with a smile.

Forget it, Zhou Xiaoxiao opened his eyes. If this was not his intention, he would naturally appear in front of me again to explain in person.

If he really intentionally broke his love, he is.

She slowly folded the letter paper, put it in her sleeves, took the chopsticks and tasted a snack, savoured it carefully, and nodded: "It's done, that's the taste. Xiaomei showed me the record."

A thin and small maid walked over and showed Zhou Xiaoxiao a notebook. This maid named Xiaomei was the only one who was literate among the servants that Zhou Xiaoxiao bought. She used to work in a large family, because the master’s family provokes her. After Guan Fei, the family and maids were all sold together, it was only then bought by Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Zhou Xiaoxiao read the notes and clicked on her hand: "Just click this, and Xiaomei will copy the last recipe. The materials used in the subsequent steps are strictly in accordance with the prescribed rules. It must be a thousand cages blindly, and different batches are not allowed. There are differences in the taste of the products."

After explaining many trivial matters, Zhou Xiaoxiao returned to the bedroom for a short break, only to feel uneasy and restless in her heart.

After drinking a pot of herbal tea, he was still impatient.

Zhou Xiaoxiao slapped herself, and cursed in her heart: "Is it easy to re-live a lifeless thing? It's just a person who has been in the business for a few days, who is guilty of such troubles?"

She changed into a soap-colored round-neck and small-sleeved shirt, tied a moon-white belt, and put on short boots. She was covered with blue silk and went to the former college field with a bun.

Walking to the courtyard, picking up an iron gun on the weapon rack, riding on the afterglow of the setting sun, practiced Wu Dao's brand new pear flower gun.

She kept the iron gun on the ground, and suddenly shot a thousand piles of leaves, and the sky was covered with sand.

For a moment, the silver spear shot Qiu Shui, and the bamboo leaves were empty and chaotic.Time is like a snake vomiting red letters, and like a rainstorm jacquard;

But seeing Tuantuan's beautiful shadows dancing in the silver light, alone standing out in the sky; if you want to vent the injustices in your heart, you just take the wind.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was practicing heartily, and there was a cheer from outside the hospital: "It's good skill."

I saw a young captain standing at the front of the door, wearing a net towel, wearing a floral jersey with falling flowers, a green and white guard waist, and long boots.Slim waist and wide bladder, extraordinary appearance.Two jugs of wine and a pack of cooked beef are in his hands.

Wu Daoquan anxiously greeted him from the house, "Huaiyuan is here. Your teacher and wife are eagerly looking inside the house."

The captain said: "I haven't seen Master and Madam for many days, so I missed it. I occasionally got two pots of good wine today, and I came to invite Master to drink together."

Wu Daoquan smiled and took the food and drink: "It's good to be here, so polite. The family has its own good wine and meat, so how can it be your second life."

"Master Mo and certain Daowai. Recently, I often hear from my brothers that there is a great little brother coming from the master's house. Could it be this young man?"

"Come here, apprentice." Wu Daoquan called Zhou Xiaoxiao forward, "This is Wang Xun, Captain Wang. When he first entered Yu Jiajun, the old man had called him three or two styles. He was polite and called me a master, but he was really ashamed. Dare to be. He is now one of the best guns in Fengxiang City. You are new to marksmanship and lack actual combat. So please ask the lieutenant to feed you the moves."

Zhou Xiaoxiao was in a bad mood today, and was interrupted by someone when he was playing with a gun.

Hearing what the master said, he didn't shirk off, and went straight to the flower spear, holding his fists in salute.

"Also please enlighten me from the captain!"

Wang Xun said in his heart that this junior fellow had a handsome appearance, but he was very cold and arrogant.It is not a good thing for a young person to be overly aggressive. Today, I might as well suppress his temperament for the master.

As I picked up an iron gun, the tip of the gun was polite.

Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't say much, the gun body flicked and turned into cold stars, and attacked from all sides. When he was close to the eyes, the cold stars suddenly gathered and gathered and suddenly, like a silver snake spitting out a letter, they came straight to Wang Xun's door .

Wang Xun held his spear horizontally, only to feel that a strong force came from the gun body, like a mountain pressing the top, almost impossible to hold.

Wang Xun was shocked.

This person is so small that he has such great power.

He took a few steps back and took a steady pace before he could barely stand still.

Without saying anything, Zhou Xiaoxiao turned around to take advantage of the momentum, and the silver snake in his hand was aggressive, sweeping like a withered vine.

Wang Xun didn't dare to hold big anymore, and took over the move with overlapping spirit.
