Chapter 42 Congratulatory Gifts. Delicate Devices. Fear of Fame
Xiao Yang stood at the corner of the interface and looked at the extremely popular small shop not far away. He felt a little lonely in his heart. Recklessly going to Xia's house to propose marriage was probably the biggest mistake in his first half of his life. Not only did he miss out on the one he loved, but he also lost Xiao Yang, the last assistant of his best friend, smiled bitterly, waved his hands behind him, and strode towards the overcrowded shop.
Lin Bo, who was standing at the door to welcome the guests, saw Xiao Yang standing in a daze at the street corner from a distance, Lin Bo didn't make a sound until Xiao Yang walked in, and then he went up to meet Xiao Yang with a smile, bowed and cupped his hands respectfully, "Master, can you It really brings glory to the small shop, hurry up and get in."
Xiao Yang raised the corner of his mouth and helped Lin Bai generously, "Brother Xia, you don't need to call me Young Master, you can just call me by my name! We have a deep friendship, if you are more polite, But I just look down on Xiao Yang."
Seeing what Xiao Yang said, Lin Bo smiled and stood up and patted Xiao Yang on the shoulder, "Then I won't be polite to you, brother Xiao, please! I don't have anything to entertain you in this small shop. I've already given you cakes and dim sum. Ready!"
Xiao Yang smiled and followed Lin Bai into the small shop.
The father of the Xia family and Xia Yong both smiled kindly when they saw Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang went to the counter and bowed his hands to Xia Yong, "Uncle Xia, I'm here to celebrate the opening of Brother Xia's new store!"
Xia Yong smiled and said to Xiao Yang: "Welcome" then turned to Lin Bo and said, "Take Young Master Xiao to sit inside and treat you well!"
Lin Bo nodded, "I know, Dad!" After finishing speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Yang, leading Xiao Yang to the empty seat in the corner, and asked the young man who was busy in front to take two small cakes Come with a glass of fruit milk.
Xiao Yang looked at the exquisite cake in front of him, and couldn't bear to destroy it. He picked up the cup and took a sip of the light yellow milk in it. The fruity taste was fragrant, smooth but not greasy, and the milk fragrance was pervasive. Not only did he raise his head Looking at Lin Bo in astonishment, "What is this milk?"
Lin Bo smiled, "This is my homemade fruity milk, how does it taste?"
"Yeah, it tastes really good!" Xiao Yang nodded again and again, "It's really good, I've never drank milk like this before." Xiao Yang took another sip from the cup, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he leaned towards Lin Bai's. ear to ear...
Lin Bai listened quietly, and changed his eyes a few times. After Xiao Yang finished speaking, Lin Bai frowned and said, "I can't give you the secret recipe!"
Xiao Yang felt a little sad when he heard it, but Lin Bo said again: "But I can supply it to you exclusively, how about the price? How about a [-]% discount?"
Xiao Yang didn't expect that Lin Bai would play tricks on him, he was stunned for a moment and punched Lin Bai's chest fiercely, "You kid, you are really getting more and more slippery!"
Lin Bo smiled, and asked the worker beside him to bring some more milk for Xiao Yang to try.
Xiao Yang waved his hands behind him, and two servants came over, and placed two brocade boxes on the table, one containing the God of Wealth made of gold and the other a jade carving of Smooth Sail.
Lin Bo frowned, this gift was a bit too expensive, "Xiao Yang, what are you doing, you are so polite and don't consider me a friend!"
Xiao Yang smiled, "Brother Xia, this is as it should be. Today I came here specially for the opening of your store. How can I come empty-handed!"
Lin Bo had no choice but to accept it, and let Xiaogong take it to the back!Seeing that there were fewer guests coming, and those who should be received were all received, they sat opposite Xiao Yang, and the two discussed future cooperation issues...
Xiao Si wrapped a piece of cake for the guest, turned to look in Lin Bo's direction, seeing Lin Bai and Xiao Yang talking happily, Xiao Si felt very relieved, in fact, when the second brother asked to resign and go home, Xiao Si I knew that he was actually very reluctant, not only for the position that he had struggled for several years before he climbed up, but also Xiao Yang, a close friend.
Now the second brother not only has a career, but also has the same relationship with Xiao Yang as before. Xiaosi is very pleased, and looks at the cake that is about to be sold out. Quickly, Xiao Si wiped the sweat from his face, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
The sun slid across the cheeks with a gust of breeze, lifting the blue hair on the forehead to reveal the delicate cheeks, whoever looked at the heartbeat in the corner quickened for a few seconds, and hurriedly disappeared into the dark, only the wall behind Xiao Si flashed a white light... …
Xiao Si lowered her head and busied herself packing cakes for the guests as needed, but there was a sudden bustling outside the door, people who came and went to buy things stood still, looking around as if they were watching the excitement, Xiao Si felt that something was wrong, wearing Passing through the crowd and walking to the front, I saw two men standing side by side at the door of the small shop. Behind them were servants who were uniformly dressed. When I first saw Xiaosi, I felt that these servants were a little weird, but I couldn’t tell where they were. It's the same. I don't think it's a big deal when I look at it alone. This group of people standing together wants to form an aura. The majesty is not enough to describe. Xiao Si looks more like murderous. Looking carefully in a blink of an eye, seeing those servants holding brocade boxes in their hands, my heart was a little relieved.
Turning his head to look suspiciously at the two leaders, lingering on his face, the man on the right is in a white Confucian shirt, looks handsome, with a peaceful aura in his brows, his eyes meet. Xiao Si nodded at that man, then turned to look at the other Not only did Ren Xiaosi's heart skip a beat, it was the scanner that day, bah, it was the entourage who accompanied that masked man that day.
The sound of that person, Xiaosi's heart beat several times, and he subconsciously searched for that person's figure, but found nothing. "Scanner" looked at Xiao Si's eyes looking around, smiled lightly, took two steps forward, bent over and cupped his hands and said to Xiao Si: "My brother, please be polite, we are serving my master." I will send you a congratulatory gift!"
"Give me a congratulatory gift!" Xiaosi froze for a moment.
"Yes, it's a congratulatory gift for you!" The scanner smiled and waved to the servants behind him. Two rows of people walked into the shop in a row, and the onlookers automatically gave way to the serious servants. Along the way, the servants put the boxes one by one neatly on the small table two by two, and some neatly lined up and retreated to the door. Xiaosi looked at the eyes with some absentmindedness. These well-trained servants exited the shop His son, the rest of the Xia family and Xiao Yang also came out.
Jia Xin looked at the man in white standing on the right, his eyes changed, but he remained calm.
When the Xia family walked to the door, they were shocked by the aura of this group of servants. Before they could ask anything, the man in white and the scanner bent over and clasped their hands, saying: "The congratulatory gift has been delivered, and it's time for the two of us to say goodbye! Send it off! There will be a later date!" After saying that, he stood up straight, turned around and walked out, and the servant gate behind them followed them away in an orderly manner.
Xiao Si was taken aback for a moment, ran two steps, stood in front of the two of them, gasped lightly, and said, "Don't go yet, your master, where is he?"
The scanner raised the corners of his mouth with deep meaning, "My brother, it's inconvenient for my master to meet now, it's just that there will be a word later! You are old friends, and you will see each other in the future..." After finishing speaking, Xiaosi went away leave.
Xiaosi stood there until those people left before recovering, frowning and walking back to the shop, thinking about the hidden secrets of the scanner, Li Jia asked Xiaosi who it was, Xiaosi protruded and said it was that The man who saved himself in the woods for the first time.Li Jia pondered for a while, looked at Xiaosi's dazed look, and said nothing.
Xia Yong gave Li Jia a look, and Li Jia returned the look without saying anything.Jia Xin frowned as he watched Xiao Si lose his mind. Lin Song, Lin Bai and Zhu Xiao Yang were all focused on the neatly arranged brocade boxes.
Xiaosi walked out from his father, walked between Lin Bo's and Lin Song's, reached out to pick up the first brocade box, and opened it to reveal the exquisite glassware inside, which made Xiaosi's eyes cool, and the surrounding people were also shocked. They all exclaimed.
Xiao Yang was the first to wake up from the shock, reached out and took out the crystal clear cup in the brocade box, and exclaimed: "My God, this is an exquisite vessel!"
"Linglong device?" Xiaosi and Lin Bolinsong called out in unison.
Xiao Yang carefully put the cup back into the brocade box, and opened another crystal-clear glass bowl behind him. Xiao Yang picked up one and said to everyone: "This is really a Linglong ware, a genuine Linglong ware, it is said that the Linglong ware It is made by Sheng Linglong, a skilled craftsman in the capital. No matter how big or small the cups, dishes and dishes are, they are crystal clear and transparent. The surface is smooth without any decorative texture and without impurities! It will reflect colorful light in the sun! Linglong vessels are only used by the royal family. It has never been sold to the people, this is a treasure that cannot be obtained by fighting for it!"
Xiaosi was a little surprised to pick up a cup in the brocade box, and put it in a sunny place, and there were indeed colorful lights shining. Xiaosi was just surprised at how such a modern product existed in ancient society. Something really special!
Xiao Si also grasped the important two words in Xiao Yang's magnificence, royal...
Xiaosi asked Xiaogong to carefully move down the brocade box and put it behind.The smiling episode of the opening ceremony is over, and the guests are still coming and going.
Before Shen Shi in the afternoon (three o'clock in the afternoon), there was nothing to sell in Xia's small shop, and the last wave of customers who returned empty-handed were sent away. Xia's family was also exhausted, Lin Bo ordered Xiao Gong to Let them prepare tomorrow's materials in advance, and then go to bed early. The rest of the work can be done tomorrow morning. After these orders, they will go home with the Xia family!On the way home, Xiaosi cheered up and walked to Lin Bai, "Brother, you have been talking with Master Xiao for so long, what did you hook up with?"
Lin Bo smiled, folded his hands on the back of his neck, and said leisurely: "Actually, it's nothing, I just promised him to provide him with [-] cakes and milk exclusively every day, and the price is [-]% off. eggs, and then..."
"Then what?" Xiao Si asked in confusion.
"Then, it's..." Lin Bo said with a bad smile, "I exchanged my master!"
"Your master, isn't Master Lin!" Xiao Si exclaimed, then immediately frowned and said, "Master Lin is the chef of Yiyi Building, how could Young Master Xiao agree to you!"
Lin Bo smiled, and said: "Master Xiao is a smart person. He saw today's scene in his eyes, and he must have calculated that it is worthwhile to do so!"
Xiaosi thought about it for a while, nodded and felt that what the second brother said made sense, so he didn't say anything more.
In the next few days, the rest of the Xia family returned to their original positions and went about their business. Only Xiaosi went to the city to help out for three days. He baked cakes and made pastries. He was too busy to go to the front. Helping sell things, Xiao Si couldn't bear it after only three days, and his heart began to hurt, but fortunately, Master Lin, Lin Bai's master, officially came to Xia's small shop from the satisfaction building on the fourth day.
Xiao Si was also liberated, but within a few days of her small life, she became restless again. This really echoes the saying that people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong!In the past ten days, not only has Xia's small shop become a household name, the owner of the small shop has a capable and beautiful little Fengtian, and the reputation of the shop has also spread. Xia's family has received more than ten matchmakers in the past three days , Xiao Si finally broke out under the unbearable disturbance...
With a broom, he swept away three well-dressed matchmakers who were crowding into his house. Li Jia's father stood at the door and looked at Xiao Si's behavior. Take a cold breath!
Xiao Si was startled by the cold air behind him, covered in goose bumps all over his body, turned around to look at his father with his mouth curled up, and forced the corners of his mouth to curl up, "Father, those flies are very annoying, I really can't bear it... ..."
Li Jia roared with a straight face: "Xia Cao'er!"
Xiaosi immediately stood still, silent like a cicada, and listened to the instruction.
"Who taught you to be so unruly and rude! You, Dad, did I teach you this way! As a brother..." Li Jia talked to Xiaosi endlessly.
Xiao Si lowered his head and rolled his eyes in secret, Li Jia's rhetoric can already be memorized by himself, Xiao Si's ears are itchy when he hears it, Dad is really angry, Xiao Si thought for a while, cunning As the light flashed in front of his eyes, Xiao Si stretched out his hands to cover his chest and let out a muffled groan.
Li Jia sensed that something was wrong with Xiao Si, and after listening hurriedly, she reached out to support Xiao Si, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Xiaosi frowned and leaned into his father's arms and said, "My heart is so stuffy!"
Li Jia frowned, "I'm not feeling well and coaxing this one to drive that one away, you, Dad, I won't marry you off casually!"
Xiaosi curled her lips, and let her father help her to walk into the house, muttering in her heart, if she really meets someone who is excellent in every aspect, her father will happily marry him off , when the time comes, I really can't find a place to cry.
Li Jia sent Xiao Si back to Dao's room, and asked him if he felt uncomfortable, or if he needed some medicine, Xiao Si shook his head resolutely, "I'm much better, Dad, I'll be fine after lying down for a while!"
Li Jia nodded, got up and walked out, standing at the door Li Jia frowned and sighed softly, the thing that worried him the most still happened, look, Xiao Si is so famous now, it is really not a blessing...
Xiao Si lay on the bed and rolled his eyes, feeling a little bad about his own situation. As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. When a pig is strong, it will be slaughtered. If a person becomes famous, he may be accompanied by bad luck. Xiao Si Si sighed for a while, knowing in his heart that if this continues, I am afraid that if he wants to achieve the feat of celibacy, he will stop eating soon!
Xiaosi sighed softly and got up from the bed, knelt on the head of the bed, took out the brocade box from behind the folded quilt, opened it in her arms, took out the crystal clear glass inside, and thought of the girl who wore a mask and pretended to be mysterious. The brat cursed in his heart, he has been back for such a long time, and he still hasn't come to meet him, this kid must be looking for a way, Xiao Si is [-]% sure that the boy with the mask is Xiao Zhan...
