Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

There is an incense street in the east and west alleys. The incense street in the west alley is dedicated to the girl's fragrance of rouge and gouache, while the incense street in the east alley is dedicated to the sweet food incense of various pastries and candied fruit.

There are big and small pastry and candied fruit shops in the sweet food street. Xiangsuju is among these shops, not counting as one of the best big shops in it, but it is also somewhat famous here.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the food street is the most festive. The weather is good, and the food is spread out with Misai and placed outside. The general merchants are also generous, and they will put a plate outside for customers to try.As Gu Ci walked all the way, she was forced to taste the pastries and candied fruit by the hawker woman, and when she was about to arrive at Xiangsu Ju, she had already been forcefully stuffed with a handful of pastries and candied fruit.

Different from other pastry shops, Xiangsuju was crowded with people. Gu Ci stood on tiptoe and saw the shadow of the little girl through the cracks in the heads of the people. She was standing behind the counter, cracking the abacus while running errands The clerk yelled: "Brother Big Mao, give Aunt Chun three catties of red date cakes and two catties of sesame cakes. My aunt's second son will get married this year, and give two taels of lily cakes and two taels of dried longan. I wish the newlyweds a happy marriage for a hundred years. Give birth to a precious son early."

"Little Bakery Xishi Jinkou Yuyan, my aunt also wants to make a fortune, so I will weigh three catties of lily cakes for my aunt, and two catties of dried longan, and make up the whole."

"In that case, then I'll make up the whole thing for my aunt, Brother Da Mao, and I will weigh three catties of lily cakes and two catties of dried longan for my aunt, and I will also give three taels of lily cakes and three taels of dried red dates. Auntie will buy ten catties. Give away ten taels, it just happens to be perfect..."

"Good, good, perfect, our little pastry Xi Shi's mouth is so sweet."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder Xiangsuju's business is so good. Look at this little girl, she's making a fool of herself, her little mouth seems to have been smeared with honey."

"Isn't it? You think that the name of Little Bakery Xi Shi is something that everyone can be comfortable with. Look at her little appearance with bright eyes and bright teeth. Just a smile makes people happy."

"Not only that, but the little girl's mind is alive. She came up with a way to give away whatever she dared to buy. Other shops have followed suit, but the business is not as good as this Xiangsuju. Why, isn't it With this little girl's mouth, she can give any kind of gift if she is happy, and the kind words that fit the occasion come out of her mouth. You said what are you planning for the New Year, don't you think it is auspicious?"

"Yes, yes, the strong daughter-in-law next door to me has been unable to conceive for the past few years, and she went to the temple to beg, but there is no good news. These days, she has to come here to buy some pastries every day. She said no For nothing else, just this little girl is watching the aura so tight, and listening to her auspicious words makes me feel at ease."

"Hey, listen to what she said just now, 'what is the dream of a country, what is the champion of two flowers', then Aunt Xie's family has a scholar who will go to Qiuwei next year, don't say that Has the heart gone?"

"One stroke of heaven and earth embraces the dream of the country, and the champion of the temples comes."

"Tsk tsk, we ignorant women can't even learn it. You said that other shops can make exactly the same ones? Selling pastries is not easy these days, and you have to have some ink in your stomach. "

"You are a slippery person, you are used to juggling..."

Gu Ci stood outside and listened to everyone's discussions, and with a thought, he also queued behind the people, waiting patiently for the people in front to finish shopping and leave.

The little girl was so busy inside that she didn't even have time to drink her saliva, and she didn't even know that her sister was watching her busy work outside with a calm face.

After about half a stick of incense, it finally came to Gu Ci.

"Sister, what do you want? It's for your family to give away..." The little girl glanced at her casually, then lowered her head to find a copper coin for the previous aunt who had finished shopping, "Auntie, this is ten for you." Two copper coins, please slow down and count them clearly before leaving."

"I want to buy some wedding cakes, it's spring, and there is a little girl and Ji at home, what can I recommend for Bakery Xi Shi?"

"It's a great thing for a girl to be able to get married as long as she is Ji... Come for some peach blossom cakes, 'The peach blossoms are shining brightly. The son returns home, suitable for his family.' It contains the praise of the burning posture, and it is complete... ..." The little girl was halfway through speaking, when she suddenly realized something, looked up at the person who came, with a look of astonishment, "Sister? Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?" Gu Ci raised his eyebrows, making his originally gentle smile a bit sly, "Of course I'm also here to buy pastries."

The little girl looked at the people behind her, and she felt a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Sister, don't make trouble, sister-in-law Chunxiao will send me some cakes every day, so I don't need to buy cakes..."

Gu Ci blinked at her, "'Peach blossoms are shining brightly. The son Yugui is suitable for his family.' But we can't just get the auspicious words from the pastry girl. Otherwise, if my little girl You don’t have a shining posture, or maybe you don’t have the demeanor of a good wife and mother who is suitable for your family, so don’t blame me—blame me for not buying this peach cake?”

"Sister..." The little girl stomped her feet in embarrassment. My sister must have done it on purpose. If she had seen it clearly just now, how could she be so boastful?

Gu Ci was unmoved, looking at the little girl's blushing earlobes, he felt inexplicably relieved, "There are still people waiting behind, boy, quickly weigh me two catties of peach blossom cake."

"Brother Big Mao, don't give her a scale." The little girl hurriedly stopped the boy who was going to get the pastry, turned her head and gave Gu Ci an annoyed look, her eyes passed her, and when she looked at the people behind, she took another Smiling, "Auntie, what do you want?"

"This... this girl hasn't bought it yet?" The woman looked at her, then at Gu Ci, "I can just wait a while."

"Auntie, leave her alone." The little girl gave her a dark look again, and seeing the woman staring at her suspiciously, she hurriedly said, "She's here to make trouble, I know her well, she has no money."

Gu Ci licked his lower lip, lowered his head and took out the bulging money bag from his sleeve, "I'll give you all the money, and I want two catties of peach blossom cake."

The little girl looked at the rogue-looking elder sister, and was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She wanted to pick up the beads on the counter and threw them over, but from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of everyone waiting outside looking at them as if they were watching a show. The two of them took two deep breaths, gritted their teeth and said to the waiter, "Brother Big Mao, weigh two catties of peach blossom cakes, and give her a box of lotus seed cakes to wake her up."

Saying that, the little girl's abacus was useless, she took the broken silver from the purse, put four copper coins in it, and put Gu Ci's bulging purse into her in front of everyone. sleeve pocket.

Onlookers: "..."

Gu Ci looked at the little girl's sullen look who obviously didn't want to see her more, he touched his nose guiltily, thinking that if he went back later, the little girl might have to make a fuss with her.

Well, flirting with my wife is a moment's pleasure... I'm afraid it will be a long way to appease.

The little girl didn't look at her until she took her things and left, so Gu Ci had no choice but to leave in embarrassment. He was going to buy some gifts for the new year and went back to the roasted seeds and nuts street with two catties of packed peach blossom cakes.After choosing the things and weighing them, when she was paying, she suddenly remembered that she had just given the money bag to the little girl...

"Then what, lady boss, I'm so sorry, I... I forgot to bring the money here..." Gu Ci looked at the lady boss whose face was getting darker and darker, his expression was a little embarrassed, "How about... just wait for me, I'll go Bring money from the street next door?"

The proprietress is a woman who still has charm. When Gu Ci first came, she smiled like a peach blossom in full bloom in March. When she saw that Gu Ci hadn't handed over the money, she just accepted it with a smile, "Oh, look. You look beautiful, so you came here to smash the scene. It’s the end of the year, and everyone is out shopping, and they are all here to buy things. How could you not remember to bring money? If you say that your money was stolen, I still believe it."

Gu Ci was embarrassed by what he said. For a merchant, it is indeed a bit annoyed to meet a customer like himself at the end of the year, "I really forgot..."

The proprietress scolded, seeing that Gu Ci's attitude was sincere, and she didn't seem to be a real troublemaker, and seeing the things in her hand, her eyes moved, "Look at the pastry in your hand, it was bought by Xiangsuju, right? I guess I forgot to bring the money, so tell me..."

"I am dissatisfied with you, the boss of Xiangsuju and I are acquaintances, so I just forgot where my money bag is."

The proprietress was skeptical, "It's not too far from my shop, you put the things in your hand here, you go and get the money."

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Ci didn't feel that the proprietress was harsh, so he had the idea of ​​not buying it, but handed over the pastry in his hand, "Then wait for me for a while."

The proprietress thought she would not respond to her, but she pressed down the word "bad luck" on her lips, and calmed down, "Then hurry up."

Gu Ci nodded, and when she turned to leave, the proprietress stopped her again, and said a little embarrassedly: "Since you said that the boss of Xiangsuju is an acquaintance with you, can you ask him to give me two pieces of pastry Xi Shi?" An auspicious word, you see, the first business I opened in the afternoon caused you such an unpleasant..."

"Then... let me ask you a question?" Gu Ci recalled the scene where he would go to beg the little girl for money later, and he was one head and two big, "However, the pastry Xishi doesn't like me very much, I'm afraid... "

"Little Cake Xishi is ready, I think there must be something wrong with your life."

Gu Ci: "..."

There were still a lot of people crowded outside Xiangsuju, Gu Ci hesitated, and then slowly squeezed past. This time, the little girl saw her very quickly, and Liu Ye frowned a few times: "What is sister doing here again?"

Under the eyes of everyone, Gu Ci also knew how to save face, and said in a low voice: "Jiaojiao, give me a few taels of silver, and I will go buy some annual gifts and go back."

The little girl glanced at her, then bent down and took out the money bag from her sleeve, "How many taels do you want?"

Gu Ci didn't expect the little girl to be so eloquent, so he realized after being silly for a while, and didn't dare to ask for more, "Just give me a couple."

"Is one or two enough?"

Gu Ci was inexplicably nervous, "Then...then give me two taels, I just go to West Alley to buy some other tools."

The little girl was silent, and took out two taels of silver from the money bag Gu Ci gave her.

Gu Ci took it carefully, looked at her face, and said cautiously: "Just now I offended a lady who sells dried fruits next door, and she said she wanted you to send her a lucky word..."

Is it over?

The little girl looked up at her abruptly, "I want to hear my auspicious words, let her buy cakes first."

Gu Ci made a cold face and didn't say anything. He said oh, and hurriedly took the money and went to the dry fruit shop. After thinking about it, he gave a few words to the proprietress, and then took the things to the West Alley.

Now that the little girl is the housekeeper, Gu Ci doesn't dare to buy casually. After spending two taels of silver in the end, there are still dozens of coins left.Looking at the pile of things he bought, Gu Ci thought, the little girl should have nothing to say this time.
