      Chapter 105 Famous (third shift)

       Cough, strictly speaking, this is her business of grabbing gold.

       But who told Jinji not to give her a way out?

       Jin Kee is the first grader, so don’t blame her for the fifteenth grade!

      Whether Mrs. Qi agrees with Su Xiaoxiao, you can tell by that expression.

      Old Madam Qi's eyes once again fell on Su Xiaoxiao's face. This time, there was less of the majesty of the old lady in the deep house, and more of the gentleness of the old man.

       "Girl, come forward." She waved at Su Xiaoxiao.

      Su Xiaoxiao walked over calmly.

      Neither overly eager, nor half cowardly, after all, she is not a native of ancient times, and has never learned ancient social etiquette.

      But there are some things that are interlinked in ancient and modern times, that is, a person's aura and self-confidence.

      Old Madam Qi looked at her gently: "You are a lucky girl, tell me, what is your name?"

      Su Xiaoxiao said: "Su Daya."

      Old Madam Qi smiled and said, "Where are you from?"

       "Xinghua Village." She answered truthfully.

       There is no need to lie about this kind of information. People can find out the eighteen generations of her ancestors by moving their fingers.

       Shopkeeper He groaned in his heart, but he is just a country boy with mud legs!I don't know if the things make are clean or not. Mrs. Qi is a serious Fucheng native. When she married the Qi family, it caused a sensation in most of the town!

       It's no wonder Mrs. Qi would like her!

    Shopkeeper Sun said in a timely manner: "Old lady, you don't know that Ms. Su's dim sum is very famous. The dean of Indus Academy is full of praise for Ms. Su's craftsmanship and asks Ms. Su to supply the students of the academy every day.".”

      Old Madam Qi was surprised: "Even Dean Shen likes it."

       Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile: "Naturally! I dare not lie to the old lady!"

       Shopkeeper Sun is indeed an old businessman. He can speak well, say black into white, and white into color, without blushing or heartbeat.

      How did he know Dean Shen's attitude towards Su Xiaoxiao, in short, it's right to blow up!

      How did the business come about?Three points depend on strength, seven points are bragging!

       Shopkeeper He is really going to die of anger, this shameless grandson!

      Dean Shen is also quite famous in Xinghua Town. He is a two-ranked Jinshi who is not mixed with water.

      Old Madam Qi looked at Su Xiaoxiao with more certainty in her eyes.

      Actually, even if shopkeeper Sun doesn't brag about it, Mrs. Qi won't feel that Su Xiaoxiao's things are worthless just because she came from the countryside.

      She is an old lady at this age, rich, powerful, and has her own judgment, so she doesn't have to live in the eyes of others.

      If she thinks it is good, then it is good.

    Not to mention these snacks, those two poems alone are enough for her to treat Su Xiaoxiao differently.

      Of course, after shopkeeper Sun boasted about Dean Shen's bullshit, she was even more impressed with Su Xiaoxiao.

       "Girl, does your dessert have a name?"

      Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Mrs. Qi asked should not be the name of a single snack.

      She thought for a while, raised her eyes, looked into Madam Qi's benevolent eyes, and said seriously: "Su Ji."

      ...

       Mrs. Qi's 70th birthday, all the famous people in the town came, and the county magistrate also came to celebrate her birthday in person.

      These are just people from apricot flower town, and there are quite a few guests from Prefecture City, some of them are her natal family, and some are her grandchildren's contacts in the official circles of Prefecture City.

      The dim sum made by Su Xiaoxiao turned out at the birthday banquet.

      These gentlemen and ladies have all seen the world.

      Take the magistrate of the county as an example. Although he is not a Jinshi in the second list, he is also a serious provincial examination candidate. He has been to Beijing three times to take the exam.

       He had never seen such a fancy dim sum.

      He looked at the officials of the Prefecture City who had a higher official position than him, and the surprise in everyone's eyes was no less than his.

       "Everyone in Jushui has longevity, and Taoyuan is a fairy! This is wishing our old lady to be blessed as long as the East China Sea, and to live longer than Nanshan!"

      Qing'er copied Su Xiaoxiao's words, and introduced them to the wives and daughters who came to inquire.

       "Is it Kam Kee's dim sum?"

       Kam Kee is the largest dim sum shop in the town, and it is the first thing everyone thinks of.

      Qing'er snorted: "That's not true! It's Su Ji!"

       "Su Ji? Is it a new shop? Never heard of it?"

       "Is it a shop in Prefecture City?"

       "I live in Prefecture City. We don't have a dim sum called Su Ji in Prefecture City. Even if there is, it may not be very famous. I haven't tried it."

       "Where did that come from? It can't be the provincial capital, right?"

       "My brother is studying in the provincial capital, and the provincial capital doesn't have such delicious snacks!"

       "It can't be from Capital City, right? Capital City is so far away, did the Qi family invite famous chefs from Capital City to cook at home?"

      ...

      After the birthday banquet started, Su Xiaoxiao came out from Qi's house, ignorant of the sensation caused by the banquet.

      The Qi family returned Jin Kee's dim sum, took back the money they gave, and bought back Su Xiaoxiao.

      One hundred salted egg yolk birthday peach cakes, fifty calendula chestnut cakes, and fifty birthday cakes, a total of twenty taels. Mrs. Qi was happy, and rewarded Su Xiaoxiao with another ten taels.

       "Sister! We earned thirty taels today! Thirty taels!"

      Su Ergou was so excited that he flew up in place!

    The joy of selling dim sum is really incomparable to extorting money!

      Su Xiaoxiao is also very happy.

      In her previous life, money was regarded as dung, but she was really poor after coming here. Thirty taels is definitely a small fortune for her now.

      She has to plan carefully how to use the money.

      Compared to the two siblings who won the battle, Shopkeeper He on the side is like a defeated rooster, decadent and angry!

       "The villain succeeds!"

       He gritted his teeth and glared at the siblings, before walking towards Jin Kee's carriage with a cold face.

      Su Xiaoxiao moved her feet casually, and a small stone flew to Shopkeeper He's feet.

       Shopkeeper He slipped on the sole of his foot and fell headfirst on the shaft of the car!

       "Ouch—"

       There was a big bump on his forehead.

      Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "You have to have long eyes when you walk, Shopkeeper He."

       Shopkeeper He got into the carriage and left!

      Su Xiaoxiao plans to go to the market to buy some beans and duck eggs.

      But if Liu Ping comes over, it will be difficult for them to get so many ingredients back to the village without a donkey cart.

       Waiting for Liu Ping's time, shopkeeper Sun also came out from Qi's house.

      Facing Su Xiaoxiao again, shopkeeper Sun's mood was a bit complicated, and there was also a little bit of embarrassment.

       It used to be a hostile relationship, who would have expected that they would cooperate one day.

    He paused, and said: "The business of the Qi family, I will treat it as paying back yesterday's favor. I, Sun Quan, are snobbish, and my methods are a little disgraceful, but I am not a person who does not know good and bad—— Qi and IThe steward of the family has said that if there is such a business in the future, they will come to you."

      Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at him: "Aren't you going to do some business for yourself?"

      Even if he is no longer the shopkeeper of Jin Kee, he still has his skills anyway. If he really wants to make a comeback, it is not impossible.

       Shopkeeper Sun sighed helplessly: "I said, I will return your favor. From now on, I will not steal your business again."
