YM778.TV Chapter 122 - 122 Success
Manager He shouted, “No, we’re the real Jin Ji!”
Manager Zhang said to the servant, “Call him in.”
Manager He also wanted to see who dared to impersonate Jin Ji! Soon, they were brought in by the servant. When he saw the three of them clearly, Manager He’s eyes almost fell out!
“It’s you!”
Who else could it be but Manager Sun, Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Ergou?
Strange, why were the three of them here?
Manager Sun cupped his hands at Steward Zhang and said amiably, “Steward Zhang, how have you been?”
Previously, it had always been Manager Sun who negotiated business with the Qi family. Manager Zhang had seen him and had an impression of him.
As for the fat girl and poor boy beside him, they were unfamiliar faces.
Manager He’s cold gaze swept across Manager Sun and the siblings. He subconsciously felt that Manager Sun was older and more experienced. This matter must have been Manager Sun’s idea.
He said angrily, “Sun! Why are you here?”
Manager Sun smiled and said, “I’m naturally here to deliver goods to the Qi family!”
“You’re no longer the shopkeeper of Jin Ji! It’s not your place to deliver the goods!” Manager He said as he looked at Manager Zhang. “This person has long been chased out of Jin Ji. Now, I’m the shopkeeper of Jin Ji!”
Manager Sun hit the nail on the head. “Then, did you made the pastries from last time?”
Manager He choked.
Manager Sun thought to himself, No way? This girl really guessed correctly? Jin Ji didn’t manage to replicate her taste!
Since it was a guess, there was a possibility that she was wrong. Even Su Xiaoxiao could not guarantee that her plan was foolproof.
At this moment, she felt more relieved.
As long as Jin Ji did not make the exact same taste, she still had a chance!
“Where are the snacks?” Qing Er asked.
She did not care whether it was the old shopkeeper or the new shopkeeper. She only wanted the egg yolk pastry from the previous time. Otherwise, if she angered Old Madam and Minister Qi blamed her, these people would have to bear the consequences!
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou handed her four large food boxes.
Qing’er said to Steward Zhang, “Please get a few people to send them to Old Madam’s courtyard!”
Steward Zhang smiled and said, “Alright, Miss Qing’er!”
After the servants of the Qi family left with the snacks, Su Xiaoxiao and the others were not in a hurry to leave.
Manager He was also there.
He glared at the three of them coldly and said disdainfully, “Sun, have you actually fallen to the extent of being with two country bumpkins? Jin Ji has raised you for more than twenty years, and this is how you repay Jin Ji! Are you worthy of Jin Ji?”
Damn it! Who was the one who let the other down?
Manager He continued, “Also, don’t think that you can snatch the business of Jin Ji like this! For the same formula, Jin Ji used the best flour and hired the most powerful chef! If the taste of Jin Ji can’t satisfy Old Madam Qi, don’t even think about it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Zhang ran over.
From the looks of it, something was wrong.
Manager He smiled gloatingly. “Heard what I said? You guys have no chance at all…”
Steward Zhang came to Su Xiaoxiao and the other two and said, “Please. My Old Madam invites you.”
He said please.
Manager He trembled. “What did you say?”
Manager Zhang ignored him and said politely to Su Xiaoxiao and the other two, “Please follow me.”
The three of them followed Steward Zhang to Old Madam Qi’s courtyard.
Manager He did not believe it and shamelessly followed to investigate.
Old Madam Qi was 70 years old this year. In ancient times, she was considered old. Her body was considered strong, and she did not have much of a fetish for food and clothes. She had only tasted the snacks sent by Manager Sun previously and could not forget the taste.
Minister Qi was a filial son, so he immediately decided on this deal.
He didn’t care how much money it was. What he wanted was for Old Madam Qi to be happy.
Old Madam Qi sat on the official hat chair, her expression exuding the dignity of an old lady.
She looked at the three of them and asked, “Who made the snacks?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s me.”
Manager He glanced at the table and was shocked!
In a food box on the left, there were rows of pink peaches The peaches were white and red, and there were light green peach leaves sitting under them. Just looking at them made one smell the fragrance of the peaches.
In a food box on the right, there were yellow and orange marigolds. Their petals were distinct, and the stamens were dotted with bulging brown centers.
They were too lifelike.
If it weren’t for the fact that they were in a food box, no one wouldn’t have thought that these were real peaches and real marigolds.
It was no wonder that Manager He had such a big reaction. Even Old Madam Qi, who only ate snacks in the prefecture capital all year round, was stunned.
She had never seen anyone make snacks so unique. Before she even tasted them, she asked Steward Zhang to call her over.
She asked, “Girl, tell me, what is all this?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Salted egg longevity peach pastry, milk-flavored chestnut cake, and longevity cake.”
...
Manager He craned his neck and looked at the third food box.
There were birthday cakes inside.
The longevity pancake looked more like a normal pancake, but if one took a closer look, one would discover that there was more than meets the eye.
The filling of the birthday cake was the same as the wife’s cake, but the skin was not crispy. It was similar to the skin of a mooncake.
Since Old Madam Qi was old, Su Xiaoxiao made the texture of this skin even more fragrant and soft, so that it was more suitable for her teeth.
In addition, Su Xiaoxiao used a mold to press the word “longevity” and the carving of the pine branch on the pancake. It was beautiful. It could be said to be the essence of the first two snacks.
Old Madam Qi said warmly, “Qing’er, bring the snacks over for me to try.”
“Yes, Old Madam.” Qing’er held a silver tray, took a piece of each snack, and handed it to Old Madam with a small gold spoon.
Old Madam Qi also tasted a little. The taste was even more stunning than the egg yolk pastry and wife cake the previous time.
Old Madam Qi looked at Su Xiaoxiao with satisfaction. “Girl, do you have anything to say about these snacks?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Everyone wishes to have a long lifespan. Peach symbolizes immortality! I wish you a long life!”
...
What a good saying!
Everyone looked at the marigold chestnut cake, salted egg yolk longevity peach pastry, and pine branches carved with longevity pancakes on the table. At this moment, they all felt enlightened!
They had really underestimated this fat village girl. The snacks were not delicious, but actually belied such exquisite thoughts!
They had opened their eyes today!
Manager He was stunned and could not say a word.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him lightly.
“Stealing business from me, I’ll roll you to death!”
