Chapter 32: 小買賣
[Small business]
“If the young madam asks, you can tell her that we were blocked in the middle of the road.” Only after a while did Ji Ling, as if remembering something, commanded towards Feng Ling. “Remember to follow up on what I asked you to look into last time.”
“Yes.” Hearing this command, Feng Ling was first stunned, and then looked at Ji Ling, who could not tell if he was happy or angry, and answered without thinking, although he didn’t know why his young master ordered him this way, but there was always a reason for it.
At this time, Tang Xiaobao and Green Lotus are dressed up, secretly selling small bowl cakes on the street, even if the location is not good, but because the taste is really good, so the sale is also considered fast. After selling the last two cakes at his stall, Tang Xiaobao thought about it and decided to close the stall.
“Little brother, you really made too few of these, and it’s so early every day to close the stall, so next time, make more, my children also like to eat.” The buyer was a young mother, who looked at Tang Xiaobao’s face with great disapproval. Although this kind of thing is not cheap, the family can afford to buy, but the children do not have enough to eat. Just look at this little brother who is so clean, also does not look like the family does not have money like, so complained a couple of words and then stopped.
Hearing her words, Tang Xiaobao also just smiled, he did this to pass the time. The things he made were all well calculated, basically it only took an hour to sell them all. If you can’t sell them, you can send them to the children in the neighbouring slums to eat, but so far you haven’t sent many out, and basically they’re all sold out.
Waiting for the woman to leave, a man in the shape of a gentleman hurriedly ran to. Looking at Tang Xiaobao, he was very apologetic, with a bit of chagrin on his face, “I’m sorry, little brother, I encountered something when I left the house.” And then look at the empty stall, his face are about to show some kind of meat pain, but still do not give up and asked: “I do not know that what I ordered yesterday still have some left?” If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t want to let his devil incarnate know, he would have to come and buy them himself, but he really wanted to eat them.
Seeing his appearance, Tang Xiaobao lightly laughed, he felt that this male son was just like those foodies, for the sake of food, bursting out with potentials which unimaginable to others. Therefore, do not tease, just from under the stall took out a small parcel, inside neatly placed ten small bowl cakes, red bean, green bean, and red dates.
The moment he saw the parcel, a big smile appeared on the man’s face. Then he shoved the money he had prepared into Tang Xiaobao’s hand and took the bag and ran away.
By the time Tang Xiaobao realized that he had more money in his hand, the man had long since run away without a trace.
After tidying up the stall and looking at the coins in the cloth bag, Tang Xiaobao felt very happy. Green Lotus is very helpless, if it is another family’s wife, they will never do this kind of thing, especially if the husband’s family is still in so favour situation. Just recently, the young master went out for a day. In addition to breakfast, dinner, no longer need Tang Xiaobao to do something, even his interest toward the dialogue book at the start, also felt tired of reading, they wanted to find work to do, and then thought of selling a little something. Luckily, Tang Xiaobao felt that it was a bit bad to sell with his real face, so two of them pretended to be something else.
“Do you think Ji Ling would be surprised if he knew that I could make so much money selling small things every day.” Because the ingredients used are all good, the price is also more expensive, but fortunately there are still people who know the ingredients. While talking, while not lifting his head, he counted the money, and after realising that it was more than yesterday, he suddenly became happy, packed up the things, and went back with Green Lotus with an empty basket each. “But I can’t let Ji Ling know about this, or he’ll talk about me again.”
The remaining light glanced at the two guards who followed from a distance, Green Lotus was really embarrassed to tell Tang Xiao Bao. His Young Master probably already known about this matter. It was estimated that he even knew exactly how many things Tang Xiao Bao could sell out every day, just facing such a cheerful Tang Xiao Bao, Green Lotus still couldn’t bear to shock him.
“Green Lotus, let’s go to West Street to buy some sugar fried chestnuts before we go back, I found out last time that there’s a house that makes them that’s especially delicious.”
“Okay.”
The man who had finished buying the stuff sneaked into the house, first looking around and seeing that his family’s mongrel was not there, before walking in and placing the cloth bag on the table, thinking that he would share two out and keep the rest for himself.
“Ha, I got you, you big liar.” At some point, a fat doll in pink jumped out from behind him and was looking at him with a burning gaze.
As soon as he heard this voice, he knew it was going to be bad, and hurriedly turned around to cover what was behind him. He looked at her and laughed, “You’re looking at the wrong thing.”
“Hmph. I clearly saw you bring in a big bag, and you’re still trying to trick me.” That girl obviously does not believe, a sharp-tongued look. “I’ll tell my father that you’ve been skipping school to play, and that you lied to me to help you with your cover, but the result you’re only going to give me that little bit.”
Hearing what she said, the man was obviously a bit flustered, and hurriedly defended, “I don’t give you food because I’m afraid you’ll get fat. Look at you, how fat you have become.”
Seeing the man’s words, the girl doll’s face darkened, and she was about to rush over to grab the cloth bag. Only to hear a voice from outside the door, very curiously ask: “What are you doing?”
Seeing the visitor, the girl doll’s eyes instantly lit up, and then pointed at the man and complained to him, “Cousin, my brother tricked me into going out to buy food for me, and then asked me to help him to play cover-up, so that father wouldn’t beat him. Who knows, he actually hid the food himself, there was such a big bag of it, and only gave me a little bit.” As she said that, she made a huge circle and a small corner, which looked lively and vivid.
Seeing her action, the visitor laughed at once, looked at the man and laughed: “I’m afraid that in this world, for the sake of the food of such a ‘tit for tat’ brother and sister is only the two of you.”
“Hmph, it’s him who doesn’t keep his word.” The female child sounded very disdainful. “Unless he gives me all that he bought today, I will consider forgiving him.”
Looking at the way his own fiend in human form, confused right and wrong, the man was a bit aggrieved and muttered, “I obviously found it, and it’s really tasty, that little boss doesn’t come here every day, and this time’s portion is still the one that I wasted a lot of effort to get it.”
Two people like this, Li Xiao, are interested, he has always known that his cousins said it was delicious, just he does not know what is so delicious to such an extent that they can let them keep remembering like this. “Is it really delicious?”
Hearing Li Xiao’s question, the girl doll looked like she remembered that flavour and licked her mouth with a very mouthy look, which looked very amusing. “I’ve never eaten anything that delicious.” The man on the other side also nodded his head.
Seeing the reaction of the two, he wanted to try this pastry. When the persuasive man shared it out, and saw the unprecedented style and taste, he nodded in agreement and sighed: “It is really unique, I think Miss Tang will also like to eat it, if it’s convenient, you tell me the address, and I’ll send someone to buy it and send you some some some other day.”
Hearing Li Xiao’s words, the man didn’t have any reaction, he just told the address honestly. Habitually pleasing one’s beloved, it seems that even the excellent cousin cannot be an exception to this point, just thinking of that Miss Tang, it also feels very reasonable.
It’s just that the girl doll looked at her male cousin and said with hatred, “Hmph, I don’t like that woman.” ▼-▼
After hearing the girl doll’s words, the man grabbed her by the ear and said in a very nonchalant manner, “You’re not shy, you’re so young, who taught you to say such things.”
Covering her ears, the girl doll yelled, “I want you to care, I’m going to tell my father and ask him to punish you.”
Ignoring the noisy two people around her, Li Xiao stood there thinking of her sweetheart and revealed a heartfelt smile.
Recently, Ji Ling began to be busy, usually early in the morning out, until the evening to come back, and sometimes even miss the meal time. But no matter when he arrived home, there would always be a hot meal waiting for him.
Today is also the same, Ji Ling stepped in the door and smelled the aroma of the meal, must be the concierge on that side of the information that he came back, timely communication inside, in order to let Tang Xiaobao serve the meal out. As expected, he saw Tang Xiaobao, who was sitting there waiting for himself, waving towards him.
Ji Ling then glanced at the maid who was following him, and after seeing her nodding to him, he knew that everything was fine today.
“Eat first, I’ve made your favourite prawns, they’re delicious.” Tang Xiaobao waved towards Ji Ling with a very bright smile that warmed people’s hearts at first sight.
Ji Ling quickly sat down beside him and stroked his head, “Have a good day at home today?”
Hearing his question, Tang Xiaobao subconsciously felt weak for a moment, thinking of the money bag he had already hidden well, he nodded firmly, “Well.”
Seeing this kind of Tang Xiaobao, Ji Ling obviously hesitated for a moment, and then stared at him for a while. Seeing Tang Xiaobao staring at himself, he hurriedly picked up the prawns, peeled them well, and very doggedly sent them to Ji Ling’s mouth. “Come on, try it.”
Looking at Tang Xiaobao’s series of actions, Ji Ling also did not break it down, the side of his mouth vaguely contained a smile, and then Tang Xiaobao’s chopsticks ate it. After chewing twice, he slowly said, “Sure enough, it tastes good, peel some more.”
Seeing the success of his own change of subject, Tang Xiaobao began to peel the shrimp happily, a little bit of the feeling of being called upon did not exist. Peeling the shells very energetically, after peeling directly to the mouth of Ji Ling, the atmosphere between the two is very good. Later, he realised that Ji Ling was eating too fast, so he didn’t care to use chopsticks to feed him after he finished eating, and directly fed him with his hand.
The surrounding people unanimously as if they saw nothing, and Tang Xiaobao thought of changing the topic did not think that there is that wrong, until the feeling of his own fingers were licked, and then turned his head to look at a confused face Ji Ling, only to see that he is still very upright look, to see him doubtfully looking at himself. Tang Xiaobao is still a little embarrassed, thinking it is their own feelings in addition to the wrong. He unexpectedly came back to peel the shrimp, and Ji Ling looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
