       Shopkeeper Sun said: "Yes."

      Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Years ago, I hadn't supplied Jin Kee, so you gave Mrs. Qi a taste of the egg yolk pastry you bought from me, right?"

       "Ahem!" Shopkeeper Sun cleared his throat in embarrassment, "Isn't there no raw material?"

       Shopkeeper Sun has a business mind and talent, and the most important thing is that he is brave enough to sell the business that he has not got.

      Shopkeeper Sun's move was a great help to her.

       "Girl, what are you thinking?" Shopkeeper Sun asked.

      Su Xiaoxiao said: "I was thinking, my egg yolk cake is not so easy to imitate, if Mrs. Qi finds that the taste is different from the ones she has eaten before, do you think she will be unhappy?"

       "Hiss——"

       Shopkeeper Sun gasped.

      He didn't expect this crop just now. That's right, even with Su Xiaoxiao's formula, the dim sum made still has subtle differences in taste.

      Wife cake is like this, so is chestnut cake.

      As for the egg yolk crisps... the salted egg yolks only arrived this year, and he is no longer the shopkeeper of Jin Kee, so he has never tasted how well it is made there.

    Shopkeeper Sun said: "But what if Mrs. Qi can't taste it? There is a little difference in taste, but the difference is not big. Besides, even if you cook it yourself, you can't guarantee that every pot tastes exactly the same! I heard peopleSaid, the chef of Kam Kee has not rested during the Chinese New Year, and concentrates on hard work at home, just to master your recipes."

       "What you say is possible." Su Xiaoxiao is not the type to belittle herself, but she will not be blindly confident, "Can you still go to Qi's house?"

      Shopkeeper Sun sighed: "The Qi family is doing business with Jin Kee, not with me, Sun Quan. It may be difficult."

       "Twelve taels."

       "Oh, I really don't know what to do."

       "Twenty taels."

       "I said it all..."

       "Thirty taels."

       "Hey you girl—"

      Su Xiaoxiao said: "Ergou, go and call the group of people over just now, and tell them that shopkeeper Sun gave it to them!"

       Shopkeeper Sun was shocked: "I suddenly remembered that Nanny Ding of the Qi family is my fellow villager!"

      ...

      It was daylight, and Shopkeeper He got up early in the morning under the service of his concubine.

    Today is Mrs. Qi's birthday, and it is also the first cooperation between Jin Kee and the Qi family. The Qi family is also worthy of mention in Prefecture City.Don't start the situation?

       In order to express the importance attached to this single business, shopkeeper He decided to deliver the goods to Qi’s family in person.

      He went downstairs and came to the back kitchen.

    "Is the dessert ready?" he asked.

      Xiao Er came out of the back kitchen and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I've been watching all night! I promise nothing will go wrong!"

       The dim sum was made on the fifth watch, staring at it all night, the bullshit went to the sky!

       Shopkeeper He was too lazy to talk about these trivial matters, so he asked people to put the snacks into food boxes and take them to his carriage.

      He also sat up, and Xiao Er and an old buddy of Jin Kee went with him.

      A group of people arrived at Qi's house.

      Although Jin Kee is the largest dim sum shop in the town, compared with a wealthy family like the Qi family, it is simply not enough.

       Shopkeeper He is not qualified to go through the main entrance, so his carriage stopped outside the back door.

       It was a small steward of the Qi family who came out to receive them.

       "It wasn't you last time." The little manager frowned.

       Shopkeeper He said politely: "I am the new shopkeeper of Jin Kee, and my surname is He."

       "Over there! Don't hang the lantern by mistake!" The steward yelled at the boy beside him, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Shopkeeper He, "What are you talking about? That's fine, come in!"

      Shopkeeper He was very upset that a small manager didn't pay attention to himself as a big shopkeeper.

      However, he also understands that the Qi family is one of the most powerful families in apricot flower town, and they can't afford to sin!

       "I told you, there is no need for you to come in person." Xiao Er also felt wronged for her master, thinking that the shopkeeper would come to the door in person, and she would be treated more or less politely.

      Unexpectedly, the servants of the Qi family look down on people and ignore them!

       Shopkeeper He said lightly: "It's just a little boy."

       When he wins the favor of Mrs. Qi, isn't it possible to get rid of such a lackey servant with a single sentence?

      Over there, a beautiful little maid came over with a lantern.

       "Miss Qing'er, it's so early?"

      The little butler, who was indifferent to shopkeeper He and others, showed a flattering smile when he met this maid.

      The servant girl said: "The old lady got up, has Jin Kee's dim sum arrived? The old lady said to take it for her to taste first."

      The little steward smiled and said: "Miss Qing'er can just give orders for this kind of thing, why bother to go by yourself? Miss Qing'er will go first, and I will take care of it!"

      The servant girl said: "Don't pick on those who are bluffing, and carefully disturb the old lady's cleanliness."

       "Ah, yes, yes!" The little steward turned around with a smile, his face turned cold, and said to shopkeeper He, "Dim sum."

       Shopkeeper He winked at Xiaoer and the old man, and the two brought in food boxes one after another and handed them over to the steward.

      The little steward called a few clever servants, and together with the maidservants, brought the snacks to Madam Qi.

      Xiaoer looked at the back of the other party, swallowed, and whispered: "The shopkeeper, the Qi family is indeed a rich family, and even the maid is much more beautiful than the girl in Yuehonglou..."

      Yuehonglou, the place of fireworks in apricot flower Town.

       Shopkeeper He wished he could kick him, comparing the maids of the Qi family with the girls in the brothel, did he think he had a long life?

    Shopkeeper He was waiting in the yard outside the back kitchen, not waiting for the bill, but waiting for Madam Qi's feedback.

      He is confident that Mrs. Qi will definitely like it!Maybe I'll see him again!

      What he never expected was that instead of waiting for Mrs. Qi to be summoned, there was a scolding from Miss Qing'er instead.

       "What kind of dim sum did you send? It's completely different from last time! The old lady is angry! Who told you to buy the Jin Kee dim sum that you promised!"

      The little manager was confused, and turned to look at Shopkeeper He.

       Shopkeeper He said: "Miss Qing'er, we belong to Jin Kee."

       Qing'er said angrily: "Then you have changed cooks?"

       Shopkeeper He hurriedly said: "No! Today's dim sum is all made by our chef from Jin Kee! There is no fake hand!"

      The dim sum sold on weekdays is given by the chef, and other cooks share in the cooking. The birthday banquet of the Qi family is of great importance, and the chef does it all by himself.

      Qing'er said coldly: "Then why is the taste different?"

       Shopkeeper He frowned. The cook has not changed. Could it be that girl who provided them with inferior salted eggs?

      At this time, a young servant hurried over: "Guard Zhang! People from Jin Kee are here! They say they are here to deliver birthday snacks!"

       Shopkeeper He's eyes flashed a little bit of astonishment: "We are Jin Kee's! Why is there another Jin Kee?"

      The young man looked at Shopkeeper He, and said to his steward, "The man's surname is Sun, and he came back last time."
