They were all teenage girls and boys.
All of them smiled innocently. When they saw Nanny Hu, they would call her Grandma first.
When they saw Gu Nuo’er, they quickly put down the flour in their hands and greeted her respectfully.
The child quickly let them get busy.
She went into the kitchen and took a piece of pastry from the shelf that was meant for the shop employees.
Gu Nuo’er handed one to Qiao Xiuli generously.
Qiao Xiuli tasted it for a moment and nodded. “The taste is exquisite and the aftertaste is sweet. It is no wonder the Four Seasons Sweet Shop can be so popular.”
The child smiled proudly and said, “Of course. The ones I had the shop assistants send to Grandpa and Grandma are always made by Nanny Hu herself. I’ve liked Nanny Hu’s pastries since I was young! Brother, don’t stand on ceremony. Eat your fill here!”
Nanny Hu smiled kindly.
At this moment, Gu Nuo’er saw a neat wall of wood stacked against the wall.
As steaming pastries required a fire, they naturally used a lot of firewood.
Sometimes, the shop assistants were too busy and even had to squeeze out time to chop firewood.
Sometimes, when Nanny Hu saw that everyone was too busy, she would also pick up the ax and chop firewood herself.
Every time, it would give the shop assistants a shock.
They told her to rest and not sprain her waist.
This was the first time the child had seen so much chopped firewood.
“Nanny, which person is so diligent and efficient? Give him a few more silver ingots this month.”
When Nanny Hu heard this, she smiled. “The marquis came to help last time.” Elder Brother Siming?
Nanny Hu said, “After the marquis came, he said that he wanted to walk around to see if there was anything he could help with.
“Old Jiang told him about the troubles of chopping firewood, so he didn’t say anything else. In no time, he deftly chopped up the firewood for each shop and placed them neatly. He was a great help!”
Gu Nuo’er couldn’t help but smile. “Elder Brother Siming is amazing. I’ll bring a box of pastries to thank him later!”
Oh, speaking of which, she hadn’t seen Elder Brother Siming for a day. She missed him so much!
Nanny Hu thought of something and said to Gu Nuo’er, “By the way, the owner of Colorful Hall sent someone over previously. He said that he wants to work together with our sweet shop to hold an elegant gathering.”
Elegant gathering was a gathering where the civilized people and scholars come together to compose poems and songs.
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes, feeling puzzled. “Colorful Hall?”
She seemed to have heard of this shop before.
They specialize in selling rouge that females buy.
It was unknown if the owner was a male or female. The owner was very mysterious.
However, their rouge was beautiful and unique, and they came in limited quantities.
Therefore, their reputation rose in a short period of time.
Their business got increasingly bigger.
Gu Nuo’er didn’t expect them to take the initiative to come to the Four Seasons Sweet Shop to ask to cooperate and hold a poetry gathering.
She took a bite of the sweet pastry and asked vaguely, “What else did they say?”
“Four stewards and a few shop assistants from Colorful Hall came. They looked like they were treating this matter very seriously.
“They said that because the sweet shop has a good reputation. If they can work with us, they’ll be working with people out of their league.
“Therefore, they hope that we can do them the favor and at the same time, they’ll be responsible for all the expenses.
“What the sweet shop needs to do is to provide some pastries. The Colorful Hall is also willing to buy them at a high price.” Qiao Xiuli frowned. “Is there such a good thing?”
This was indeed a good thing.
All the conditions given by Colorful Hall were beneficial to the Four Seasons Sweet Shop.
However, there was no relationship between their two shops.
There were so many shops in the capital, so why did they have to choose their sweet shop?
Nanny Hu looked at Gu Nuo’er, waiting for her to make a decision.
“The last time the people in their shop came, we didn’t make a decision because Your Highness wasn’t in the shop. We told them to go back and wait for news.” Gu Nuo’er closed her watery eyes and felt it for a moment.
She opened her black eyes again and smiled sweetly. “Then agree to it. It’s a good thing anyway..”
