I sell morning tea in ancient times

Chapter 17 Qi Yi's Grandmother

The business in the store today is as good as ever.Cuiyun and the others were so busy that they never touched the ground, and Tao Zhiyun never rested in the East Kitchen, a thin layer of crystal clear sweat broke out on her forehead.Fortunately, there is a cool breeze carrying the fragrance of peach blossoms blowing by from time to time, but it doesn't feel hard.

At noon, the diners gradually dispersed, and this was free.

After Tao Zhiyun rested for a while, she prepared tea and snacks, and waited for the grandma to come over to chat.

Not long after, the old lady walked into the shop steadily.

As soon as she entered the door, she smiled and said, "Your place is the most comfortable place. The food is comfortable, the cooking is comfortable, and there is a lot of fireworks."

"I'm here for food, isn't there smoke and fire? Didn't it smoke grandma?"

"The pyrotechnics are blocked by the door of East Kitchen, so how can they still smoke me? Moreover, the pyrotechnics I am talking about are not this kind of fireworks, but a very warm and cozy feeling. I can see that you are the same Although they are called masters and servants, shopkeepers and juniors, you treat them like family members in your heart. You fight, talk and laugh, and you are as casual as family members, which makes people feel very comfortable."

"Your business is so good, in addition to the delicious and novel refreshments, it is also inseparable from this comfortable atmosphere."

Tao Zhiyun looked stunned, and said with a smile: "Grandma is indeed a grandma, she has a lot of experience, and what she says makes sense."

The old grandma smiled so that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened, she nodded Tao Zhiyun's forehead, and said in a friendly tone, "You girl, you are so smooth-tongued, you used to say nice things to coax me."

"Grandma's words have wronged me. I'm not being glib, I'm just telling the truth." Tao Zhiyun replied with a smile.For some reason, she just felt that this old grandma was very much like her grandma. Seeing her laughing heartily, she felt that the hollow place in her heart was slightly filled.

The old grandma laughed heartily, and it took a long time before she stopped, and said: "Young girl Yun, my grandson is like a saw-mouthed gourd. When he sees me, he will only greet me and say hello. He doesn't know how to joke with me."

"But his face is just like his father's. He is white and clean, and he often smiles. He looks as gentle as jade, and he is quite attractive to girls. When riding a horse across the street before, girls threw flowers in his arms What about the purse. But don't worry, he is the most polite person and has never responded."

"He often said that a gentleman wears a sword. He gets up to practice his sword every day before dawn. He is slender and tall, healthy, and can resist things effortlessly. He only knows about official duties every day, and he returns home at one o'clock. Although he is serious and dull. , but there is no need to worry that he will go out and flirt."

Hearing these words, Tao Zhiyun felt that something was getting more and more wrong. Why did these words sound like a blind date?

Sure enough, the next second, the old lady came over and said with a smile: "Girl Yun, you don't have to be shy about this unmarried man and woman. To be honest, what do you think of my grandson?"

Tao Zhiyun's cheeks were flushed slightly by her words, "Grandma, I haven't met your grandson yet, so how can I have any deep understanding based on these few words? Besides, marriage is determined by fate, let nature take its course." Well, you don’t need to take the initiative to look for it.” Besides, the old lady’s words are really suspected of being a peddler, and the authenticity of the words is debatable.

"Grandma is anxious about wanting a granddaughter-in-law, so I must have been rushed to the doctor." Tao Zhiyun joked with a smile, and said: "As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, grandma, you don't have to be so anxious."

The old lady quickly denied, "It's not because I was in a hurry to go to the doctor. I really like you and want you to be my grandson-in-law, but I don't know if you like my grandson."

Tao Zhiyun looked embarrassed and didn't know how to reply.

"Grandmother." A voice as clear as jade hitting each other rang out from the next door, and then, the white grandson that the old granny spoke of appeared in front of the two of them.

The old grandma got stuck all of a sudden, but she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Why are you here?" After asking, she asked cautiously, "When did you arrive?" Did you hear that?

Qi Yi's face was like a crown of jade, and the smile on his lips was just right as always, making people feel like a spring breeze, but the tips of his ears were quietly stained with a tinge of red, "Grandma, you came soon after I arrived."

Today, when he was resting, he wanted to chat with his grandmother in the mansion, but his grandmother let him play by himself with a look of disgust, and he mysteriously dragged Granny Li into the room.He practiced sword all morning, read official documents, and then came to Tao's morning tea shop to taste char siew buns and other refreshments.Unexpectedly, not long after sitting down, the grandmother came over and said such words.

The old woman gasped quietly.The seats on the second floor are all separated by pots of dense pruning bamboo, which can block the sight, but the sound cannot be blocked.Qi Yi practiced sword every day, and his eyes and ears were sharp. Didn't he hear all the conversations between them?

Qi Yi glanced at the dishes on the table that had been swept away, knowing that it must have been eaten by his grandmother, and seeing his nervous appearance at this time, he couldn't help being amused, and the heat in his ears dropped a little. "Grandmother, it's getting late now. The Tao shop must have their own business to do, so let's not bother."

The old grandma seemed to be grabbed by the collar by an invisible hand, she drooped her eyebrows and said obediently: "Yes, it's getting late." After finishing her sentence, she said reluctantly: "Yun girl, then I will come to you tomorrow. "

Seeing the old lady like this, Tao Zhiyun couldn't help but smile, and the embarrassment in her heart dissipated a lot, "Okay, I will also prepare tea and snacks for you tomorrow."

Looking at the scene of reluctantly saying goodbye, Qi Yi suddenly felt that he was a villain who beat mandarin ducks.With a smile on his brows and eyes, he helped his grandmother down the second floor and walked towards Qi's house.

As soon as he left the store, the old lady shook off his hand, snorted heavily, and said angrily, "I can walk by myself, I don't need your help."

Qi Yi was amused in his heart, and took the initiative to start the conversation, saying: "Grandma doesn't seem to be wearing this dress this morning?"

"Of course not. This dress was chosen by Ayan and I, and it looks amiable after wearing it. Girl Yun couldn't help but get closer to me after seeing it." The old grandma said in a proud tone.

"Since grandma likes the Tao shop so much, why don't you marry her directly and recognize her as a righteous granddaughter?" Although it would be troublesome to recognize the former princess as a righteous granddaughter, as long as grandma likes it, it's nothing.

Hearing this, the old lady glared at him angrily, "Do I want a granddaughter? I want a cute and cute granddaughter-in-law! I also want Yuxue's lovely great-great-grandsons and great-great-granddaughters!"

Qi Yi was a little helpless, "Grandma, the country is not yet stable at this time, I really have no intention of marrying a wife."

"As the saying goes, first get married and then start a career. I don't believe it. How can marrying a wife delay state affairs?" The old woman didn't believe it. She took out her handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, sobbing, "You don't want to marry a wife, And don't let me stay with girl Yun. I know, you just want me to be alone, without anyone to talk to."

"Grandma, I didn't let you stay with Taodian." Qi Yi explained earnestly: "Just don't say that kind of thing again. I only met Taodian a few times, and these words made her uncomfortable. Freedom also damages her reputation."

The old lady gave a low "Oh" and explained: "I saw no one around, so I said that. If there are many people around, I wouldn't say it."

"Well, I know." Qi Yi's eyes were full of warmth.

"Mingguang, what do you think of girl Yun?" The old lady suddenly lowered her voice and asked excitedly.

"The cooking skills are good, and the temperament can be regarded as tough." Qi Yi thought for a while and replied seriously.

"And then? It's gone?"

"Gone."

The old grandma glanced at him and muttered softly, "I don't believe it."

"what did you say?"

"I said, Yun girl is good-looking, good-tempered, and capable. She is the best girl. Just like your mother. Your mother was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting back then, and the female celebrity was the best in the capital. The embroidery produced is worth thousands of gold."

"Your father is ordinary, but he has a good eye. He went out for an outing on the day of the spring equinox, and he immediately fell in love with your mother. It's a pity that he is a tough guy. He obviously likes it very much in his heart, but he refuses to say it. When you go back home, take a long way around your grandfather's house to see if you can meet your mother going out. The guards of your grandfather's house almost thought he was a thief, so they came to check every day."

"Hahaha, when I think about it now, it still makes me so happy."

"Later, I found out that something was wrong. After asking several times, he blushed and coyly said it out. I couldn't be more angry that a big man was acting in such a coquettish manner, so I slapped him on the head , beat him to a stagger, and then asked a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. Your mother was begging from all kinds of people at that time, and there were too many people competing with us. In the end, I was the one to do it, and I worked hard to make love with your grandmother Alright, now the marriage is settled."

"Hmph, if it weren't for me, how could you still embrace a beauty like your father?" Grandma looked proud.

Even though he has heard it many times, Qi Yi still listened carefully and sincerely complimented: "Grandmother is really amazing."

Grandma glanced at him, "Hmph, maybe you will have to rely on me then."

Qi Yi smiled and said, "Of course my marriage depends on my grandmother."

Grandma was satisfied, but suddenly felt melancholy, "Mingguang, I miss your grandfather and parents."

Qi Yi responded in a low voice, "The grandson misses them too."

As the sun set, the shadows of Qi Yi and the old grandmother were stretched very long.The two shadows carried each other and walked towards Qi Mansion.

It was their home, where the setting sun was shining with golden light.

The family used to be very lively, but now that the grandfather and parents are dead, and the elder sister is married again, only him and grandmother are left in the family.

There are few people in the mansion, and the once very strong fireworks are now so thin that they are almost gone.
