Ming Zhiyan nodded. He had never heard Jian Qingqing say that her family was going to open a new shop.
“Then when Aunt opens her new shop, I’ll go and congratulate her.”
Mother Jian smiled and said, “Then we welcome Lord Ming’s arrival.”
The Boss, who was lowering his head, was extremely surprised. It turned out that this madam and the county magistrate knew each other and seemed to have a very good relationship. No wonder she was so generous. It seemed that it could be cheaper to make furniture for her, build a good relationship.
After bidding farewell to the carpenter shop boss, Mother Jian returned to Mother Liu’s shop.
Mother Liu pulled her to the side and whispered, “Qingqing’s Mother, that Lady wanted to look for you this morning. If you’re not willing to go, I’ll help you reject her.”
Mother Jian thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll go and take a look.”
Mother Liu was somewhat unwilling for her to go. “What if that Madam has bad intentions? She has power and influence. Why don’t I go with you?”
Mother Jian shook her head and said with a smile, “There’s no need. It should be fine. If I’m not back in an hour and a half, you can go and tell Qingqing. She will find a way.”
Mother Liu could only nod her head.
Lady Guan’s family lived in the most luxurious street in Shifeng County. This street was filled with the rich families of the county.
Mother Jian followed behind the manservant cautiously. She did not dare to take another look at the magnificent scenery in the manor. After passing through many winding roads, they finally arrived at Lady Guan’s courtyard. Mother Jian gave a stiff bow. “This humble servant greets the Lady.”
Lady Guan smiled and called her up. She asked, “Madam, I wonder if you would like to come to my house to be a cook? Don’t worry, the monthly silver is not a problem.”
“Ah…” Mother Jian looked at her in a daze. It seemed that she had not expected that Lady Guan would actually look for her for this matter.
Lady Guan smiled and said, “My daughter and son both like to eat the food you cook. So if you are willing, please feel free to make a request. I will try my best to satisfy you.”
Mother Jian anxiously refused, “Please forgive me, My Lady! I’m afraid I can’t agree to your request. Actually, I want to open a shop to sell desserts. The shop has already been bought. When the time comes, if you like it, you can buy it and eat it. During this period, I will take it to Madam Liu’s restaurant to sell it. If you are willing, I can also send it to you.”
Lady Guan was surprised for a moment as if she did not expect that Mother Jian would open a shop. She was not someone who liked to force people. She nodded and said, “Alright, then you can bring a cake to the residence every day from now on.’
“A cake every day?” Mother Jian hesitated and said, “If you eat too much cake, you will get fat easily. I suggest that you eat it every few days.”
Lady Guan did not expect Mother Jian would be so honest. If it were other people, they would only think about making more money. They did not care about your health, so she had a good impression of Mother Jian. She smiled and said, “Then we will do as you say.”
“Okay, then I’ll send it to you every five days from now on? When my shop opens, you can go and take a look. There will be a lot of delicious food in the shop,” Mother Jian said.
“Okay.”
The shop had not even opened yet and it had already closed a deal. Mother Jian was very happy. She returned home in a good mood, she said excitedly, “Big Sister! I’ve bought a good shop! Today, a rich lady bought the cake that I brought to your Aunt Liu. I actually sold that cake for three taels of silver! Oh my God! Someone actually spent so much money to buy so little food!”
Jian Qingqing was also very happy for Mother Jian. She smiled and said,
“What’s the big deal? It’s also because there aren’t enough rich people in Shifeng County. Otherwise, if we go to Cairo or the Capital, it would not be too much to sell it for ten taels of silver..
