338: Chapter 337: Found that Girl (4 more updates) 338: Chapter 337: Found that Girl (4 more updates) Jin Yu and Jin Ruiyang were on their way to the capital, but Xu Niannian was unaware of this.
On this day, Zhou Dinghua’s shop had its grand opening.
Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi, among others, were on the second floor of the shop.
“Ah…
Sister Niannian, do we really have to go back tomorrow?” Xu Sisi sighed and sprawled over the window sill.
“I haven’t had enough fun yet.”
“But you have to start school,” Xu Niannian said with a helpless smile.
“In a little while, your brother-in-law and I will co here to the capital.
Then, when you’re on vacation, you can co over to play, or you could try to get into a university in the capital.”
“Ah, Sister Niannian, are you and brother-in-law planning to settle down over here?” Xu Sisi asked, turning her head in surprise.
“Mhm, for about a month.”
Xu Sisi, upon hearing this, imdiately bead with joy, rembering that Jin Ruiyang seed to be from the capital too.
Embarrassed, she snuggled up to Xu Niannian.
Cozying up to her, she said with a wheedling tone, “Sister Niannian, does that an I can co visit and play with you every ti I have a vacation?”
Seeing her cunning smile, Xu Niannian raised an eyebrow.
“It seems you’re not just looking forward to seeing .”
“Hey now, Sister Niannian, how can you say that?
I definitely want to co because I miss you so much.
That’s why I want to co here,” claid Xu Sisi while shalessly hugging Niannian.
“I don’t care, I’m coming either way.”
“Alright, alright, you can co whenever you want.
I’ll reimburse your travel expenses anyti.
Happy now?” said Xu Niannian, resigned to her fate.
Xu Sisi had waited just for that.
She hugged Niannian and said, “Sister Niannian, don’t worry, I’ll work at your place to pay you back.”
“There’s no need to pay back; just focus on your studies,” Xu Niannian responded with a smile.
Hu Yue watched the two sisters sticking so close together and couldn’t help crossing her arms and rubbing them together.
Eh…
what’s with all this hugging between two won?
It’s just indecent.
Downstairs, the Liuyue Su shop had just opened, and the business wasn’t booming; most people were just there to see what the fuss was about.
Xu Niannian hadn’t aided Zhou Dinghua with sales but had only taught him the thod.
After Zhao Pang finished delivering goods, he briefly t with Xu Niannian before heading off to find a hotel to rest.
He had to have a good rest after the exhausting journey on boats and carriages.
Due to the large size of the shop, Zhou Dinghua had hired a few employees to help out.
On the opening day of Liuyue Su, Zuo Qing bought two pounds.
After trying it, she found that its taste was indeed identical to the Liuyue Su she bought in Haishi.
Zhou Dinghua had a few pounds of Liuyue Su cut up and placed on plates for the onlookers to try, as everyone loves free stuff.
People were willing to give it a taste.
After trying it, many were eager to buy by the pound.
While it wasn’t exceptionally popular, the business seed pretty good.
Seeing the business do this well on opening day, Zhou Dinghua beca much more confident.
He felt certain he could make even more money.
On the first day of opening, the number of people who ca to buy Liuyue Su wasn’t huge, but it wasn’t small either.
At least many folks noticed the new shop and stopped by to take a look.
With one look, they couldn’t resist trying the free pastries.
And once they tried, they couldn’t contain the urge to buy.
Among them was Du Ruo, who had originally only planned to see the excitent but ended up tasting such delicious pastries.
After confirming with the owner that the pastries could be kept for quite so ti, Du Ruo didn’t hesitate and imdiately bought five pounds.
Five pounds of Liuyue Su contained thirty pieces, with each selling for fifty cents in the capital.
With six pieces per pound, that’s three yuan per pound—and fifteen yuan for five pounds.
This would cost almost half a month’s salary for so people.
People who only bought three or four items looked at Du Ruo counting money and winced on her behalf, yet they couldn’t help feeling envious.
Seeing the envious looks around her, Du Ruo smiled, thinking about how Wu Lan always bragged about her daughter-in-law’s exceptional cooking skills and how delicious her pastries were, claiming they surpassed those from well-known pastry shops.
A plan suddenly ford in Du Ruo’s mind; she intended to go and provoke Wu Lan.
Even if she couldn’t get a rise out of her, annoying her would suffice.
After all, it was Wu Lan who always provoked her.
Then, Du Ruo also encountered Zuo Qing, and upon seeing her, Du Ruo greeted her.
“Oh, Qingqing, you’re here too?”
Upon hearing the voice, Zuo Qing noticed Du Ruo and nodded politely, “Sister Du.”
“Tch, you must also think the food from this shop is delicious.
Sister Du just tried it, and it really is good.”
Zuo Qing smiled politely, “Yes, I’ve bought it in Haimarket before.
The owner ntioned that the Liuyue Su sold here and in Haimarket co from the sa shop.”
Hearing this, Du Ruo was surprised, “Oh, turns out it’s a chain store.
But with flavors so well made, it’s not surprising they could expand here from Haimarket.”
In a strict sense, Zuo Qing and Du Ruo belonged to the sa generation, which is why Zuo Qing addressed her as Sister Du.
But the age gap between them was quite significant, leaving them without much to talk about.
After exchanging a few words, both went their separate ways.
Xu Niannian was leaning on a window and saw Zuo Qing.
Ah, it was her, the girl she had accidentally bumped into that day.
It was raining heavily that day, and Xu Niannian could only vaguely make out Zuo Qing’s face, while Zuo Qing didn’t get to see Xu Niannian’s face.
She only heard a voice.
But the rain was so loud that day, Zuo Qing didn’t rember it clearly.
Sensing soone’s gaze on her, Zuo Qing subconsciously turned to look.
On the second-floor window ledge, a woman lay there, her dark hair cascading down, her face as white as jade, exquisite beyond words, with a few curved bangs in front of her forehead.
She was slightly stunned; such a beautiful girl.
Caught spying on soone, Xu Niannian was also startled, but she smiled at her naturally, her eyes curving into crescents.
Such a smile, capable of lting anyone’s heart—Zuo Qing, as a woman, was captivated by such stunning beauty.
What a delicate girl.
Zuo Qing also smiled back at her.
Since the two didn’t know each other, after a polite exchange of smiles, Zuo Qing turned and left.
Uncle Guan stood by the car, smiling as he saw Zuo Qing approaching, “Miss Qingqing is always thinking of the master, every mont of every day.”
Zuo Qing smiled; it was because her godfather had given her hope to live on, so she no longer faced the world alone.
Just as she got into the car, Zuo Qing recalled the beautiful girl and suddenly rembered sothing.
Uncle Guan had said that the girl she ran into on the rainy day was a very pretty girl.
“Wait, Uncle Guan,” Zuo Qing suddenly called out to the butler.
Zuo Qing had never been so flustered, her voice almost breaking in her hurry.
The butler turned and asked, “Miss Qingqing, what’s wrong?”
“Uncle Guan, hurry, get out of the car, that girl, I might have found her, she’s on the second floor of Xu’s Liuyue Su.”
Lately, Uncle Guan and Zuo Qing had been searching for that girl, and upon hearing her words, the butler imdiately knew who she was referring to and got out of the car right away.
Without waiting for Zuo Qing, he ran towards the shop.
