​Transmigrated into Ancient Times to Sell Desserts

Daxi Town, Chen Family.

Chen Mingsheng stared at the cookies, moon cakes and croissants on the table, which he had just bought from Zhang's shop.He also ate cookies when they first became popular, but they were sold by the Lin family. He didn't like the hard texture very much, and he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, no matter how much the Lin family struggled, it was still not enough of a threat to the Chen family.

"Master, master, it's not good!!!" The butler of Chen's mansion ran all the way, almost tripping over the threshold, and when he rushed to Chen Mingsheng, he was in a panic.

"Why is it so urgent, can't you take your time?" Chen Mingsheng was agitated in his heart. Seeing the butler's impetuous appearance, he became more and more angry. He slapped the table hard with his right hand, which shocked the butler.

"My lord, this matter really can't be delayed!" The butler calmed down his chest and said anxiously, "I just came back from the outside, and I saw... I saw a new shop opened on Yongle Street!"

"What's so strange about this? If there is no business and the shop is closed, there must be a new one." Chen Mingsheng stretched out his hand to hold the teacup, blew on the hot tea, and said dissatisfiedly, "You have been a housekeeper for more than ten years Why can't you learn to be calm?"

"It's a cake shop! It belongs to the Zhang family!"

After the housekeeper finished speaking in one breath, Chen Mingsheng didn't hold the teacup in his hand all of a sudden, and fell to the ground with a bang, smashed to pieces, and the hot tea splashed on his body, as if he didn't notice it, he stood up abruptly, rushed Go to the butler, grab his collar, and shout: "What did you say! Say it again! Did you read it right!"

"That's right, I went to ask the worker specifically, it's Zhang's shop!"

"Impossible, it's only been a while, and a new shop has been opened. Do the people in the Zhang family have this ability?" Chen Mingsheng was in a panic.

The Chen family has been in business for three generations, and only opened four bakeries in Daxi Town.Daxi Town is very big, almost as large as the two neighboring Baisha Towns. There are quite a few bakeries in the town. The Chen family is able to maintain the business of the four shops only by relying on years of accumulation.

Opening a shop is not just a matter of opening a shop. If this is the only way, Chen Mingsheng can open three or four at once.It's like fighting the country is easy, but defending the country is difficult.How to ensure that a newly opened shop is profitable instead of losing money is even more difficult than opening a shop.

Chen Mingsheng turned a corner in his mind, and finally calmed down.

He felt that the old man of the Zhang family must have been so frightened out of his mind by his recent low price that he made such a decision.Otherwise, how dare you open a shop casually and challenge him to the Chen family.

Didn't he know that Chen Mingsheng owns a bakery on Yongle Street?

How could a newly opened shop compete with his old shop? He really is old and his brain is not working well.

"Prepare the carriage for me. I'll go to Yongle Street to have a look." The housekeeper ran to find the groom to tie up the horse, and Chen Mingsheng followed behind. When he arrived at the door, the groom was already waiting for Chen Mingsheng at the door.

Yongle Street is a good place. From the county school, one only needs to walk through an alley to come to the bustling Yongle Street.Not to mention the shops on both sides, there are also countless street vendors crowded in the corners of the streets and alleys, and there are many pedestrians. It is the most profitable shop opened by the Chen family in Daxi Town.

Chen Mingsheng first went to his shop to look through last month's account book, and asked the shopkeeper about Zhang's new shop opening while reading it.

When the shopkeeper heard that Chen Mingsheng came here for this, he was also very nervous, "It just started in the past few days. It used to be a steamed stuffed bun shop. After it collapsed, the shop was narrow and small, and there was no one there for a long time." Who knew it came suddenly A crowd of people created a big battle, and there were not many people passing by who didn't know that a new shop was about to open here, and many people stopped to watch the excitement.

This shop has not yet opened, the momentum has already opened.

Chen Mingsheng asked a few more questions, and after knowing what was in his mind, he hurried to the Zhangjiaxin shop, and stood at the door to watch the workers busy at work.Most of the shops do not need to be refurbished. The workers are busy smashing the stoves that were not needed before and building new cabinets. Sawdust is flying and floating out of them from time to time.

"Brother, how many days are you going to do this?" Chen Mingsheng moved closer and started talking with a man who was closer to him.

"I heard from the master that the sooner the better, maybe within ten days."

"So anxious?"

"Yes, but it's not too complicated. I think it will be done in two or three days."

"Mingsheng?"

Chen Mingsheng was contemplating, when someone called him suddenly, he raised his head subconsciously, and saw a familiar face, it was Lin Yaozu.

"You're here too?" Chen Mingsheng immediately walked towards Lin Yaozu, the two talked with each other, found a teahouse to sit down, and ordered some food casually.

"Look around, I didn't expect to see you."

The two of them were walking together, and they met each other when they looked up, so they naturally knew each other, and they usually walked around frequently, so they had a good relationship.

"You sold cookies in your shop before, why did you go to Zhang's shop?" Regarding this point, Chen Mingsheng was puzzled.

But when it comes to this, it hits the pain in Lin Yaozu's heart.

He used to help Ji Wei sell cookies in Daxi Town, but since he was the only one and had a unique taste, his business was unbelievably booming.But one day later, Ji Wei suddenly withdrew the exclusive sales right and told him that the business would be taken care of by the Zhang family from now on.Lin Yaozu couldn't express his suffering, and he couldn't argue with the Zhang family, so he could only suffer from this boring loss.

It's not that he didn't talk to Mr. Zhang later, but the other party insisted on refusing, so Lin Yaozu could only watch helplessly as Zhang's business was booming now.

"Don't mention it, it was originally sold on behalf of others, but now they are cooperating with the Zhang family, of course they don't like my small shop and small business." Lin Yaozu smiled wryly.

"Who the hell is this person? With such a great ability?" Chen Mingsheng was really startled. He suddenly regretted that he had enjoyed the blessings at home all these years. Apart from going out to check the account books every month, he seldom took care of the business of the shop. He didn't know that such a talent had come out, it really made him feel ashamed.

"It's Ji Wei who makes mooncakes, have you heard of it?"

"It's him!"

Moon cakes became popular in several towns during the mid-autumn festival, and everyone in the cake industry like them really knows about them.I'm afraid I haven't responded to mentioning anything else, but when it comes to moon cakes, even if I can't remember the name, I know there is such a person.

"Of course I've heard of him. Is there anyone who hasn't heard of him? It's him? This man is a talent!"

"No, otherwise, how could Mr. Zhang cooperate with a young man like him?"

"How young?"

"In your early twenties."

"What?!" Chen Mingsheng was astonished. He never imagined that young people in their 20s could make these things, which would turn the world upside down.If we really let him grow up, will there be a place for him, Chen Mingsheng, in the pastry industry in the future?

Thinking of this made him shudder.

"No, Yaozu, we can't sit still. No matter what, I have to try." Chen Mingsheng didn't know what conditions the Zhang family offered, but he had to try to see if he could win over this talent.After all, Zhang's family only made a fortune selling rice, so they couldn't compare to him, who specializes in the pastry business. If the Chen family could have Ji Wei, it would be like a tiger with wings, and a thousand miles a day is not enough to describe.

"Mingsheng, what you said is right." But it's not that easy.

Lin Yaozu smiled wryly.

He has dealt with Ji Wei before, and he knows what kind of person he is. It is not so easy to take back the agency right so decisively, and to get it from him again.

After Chen Mingsheng bid farewell to Lin Yaozu, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he asked the housekeeper to prepare a generous gift for him, took the driver with him, and went straight to Changliu Town to find Ji Wei the next day.

*****

Liu Yimian listened to a lecture on classics and righteousness, and was so out of her mind.

"What's wrong? Something on your mind?" Zhao Mianguang hugged the book and followed Liu Yimian, with a bit of worry on his face.

"What are you afraid of? Maybe it's Miss Chun." Lin Tai laughed and ran away from Liu Yimian, avoiding Liu Yimian's slap in embarrassment.

"Look, talking about the central matter, I became angry from embarrassment!"

Zhao Mianguang's expression darkened, and the boss strode to the front unhappily, staggering away from Liu Yimian.

But this time Liu Yimian really didn't want Ji Wei, as soon as he saw Liu Chengyin coming out of the school, he quickly walked to him, pulled Liu Chengyin's sleeve, and dragged him into a corner.

"Brother, don't hide from me." Liu Yimian's big eyes showed anxiety. Two days ago, when Liu Chengyin came to explain to him what he didn't understand in homework, he accidentally exposed the scars on his body.

Liu Yimian always wanted to ask him where the scar came from, but Liu Chengyin hesitated and refused to say, and kept avoiding him.Now that he finally found a chance to block him, Liu Yimian insisted on asking why.

"Did daddy hit you, or...or that woman?"

Liu Yimian stared straight at Liu Chengyin, who was silent for a moment and sighed helplessly.

"Why do you insist on asking? Anyway, the fight has already been done."

Seeing his expression, Liu Yimian felt angry, "Is that woman?"

Liu Chengyin nodded, and held Liu Yimian's hand backhand, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

"Why should she beat the elder brother! Didn't Daddy stop her?"

"Father borrowed money from Mr. Zhou who was a profiteer, but she still hasn't paid. She asked me for money, but I couldn't give it, so..." Liu Chengyin hesitated, Liu Yimian's eyes widened when he heard it, in disbelief looking at him.

"Father actually went to borrow some profit? He is so confused!" Liu Yimian pursed her lips tightly, seeing curious people poking around, she dragged Liu Chengyin towards the school building, "Come talk to me."

When the two walked all the way to the school building, Liu Yimian also thought of a way.

"I have no strengths. I can't lift my shoulders and hands. I can't write and draw on the stage. Money is really helpless. I can't help Dad. But brother, you can move here to live with me so that she can't hit you!"

"Forget it, now that you are Ji's family, it's not very convenient for me to live here..." When Liu Chengyin said this, Liu Yimian was also silent.

"Don't think too much, elder brother is a few years older than you, there is always a way to solve it." Liu Chengyin rubbed Liu Yimian's fluffy head, and said affectionately, "Actually, it is a good thing for you to leave the Liu family. Don't worry about it any more."

Liu Yimian hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I'm suddenly thirsty, can you boil some water for me?"

"Of course, you wait a moment."

Liu Chengyin took the kettle, and as soon as he went out, he put his ears against the wall and paid close attention to the movement in the room while there was no one around.

How could someone like Liu Yimian let his elder brother boil water for him?It can only show that he has another purpose and needs to drive him away.

After Liu Chengyin left, Liu Yimian carefully counted a sling of copper coins from the box containing the books, and hid the rest of the money in the box.After finishing everything, he subconsciously turned his head to take a look, and was relieved to see that there was no one there.

Liu Yimian listened to Liu Chengyin's words just now, and couldn't bear it after all.But her strength is limited, she can't help much, and she can only do her best.

Fortunately, Liu Yimian has always been frugal, except when he first arrived at the county school, he spent a little more and only ate two meals a day.If you don't go to the streets with Lin Tai and others, you can simply eat some steamed buns and pastries to satisfy your hunger.Counting down to four or five meals, it is possible to eat a meal of meat, and it hardly costs much.

I had two coins left when I enrolled last time, and now I still have more than one coin left.Liu Yimian didn't dare to touch the other money, and planned to hand it back to Ji Wei next time when he saw Ji Wei.But this money is always saved from his own mouth, and he is bold enough to control it.

After Liu Chengyin came in with hot water, Liu Yimian gave him the money.

At the beginning, Liu Chengyin refused in every possible way, but later he accepted Liu Yimian's enthusiasm as if he couldn't bear it, and before leaving, he kept apologizing, saying that he was worried about himself because of being troubled.

It wasn't until he was far away that Liu Chengyin showed a complacent smile on his face.
