Chapter 109 Newly opened old shop
As for how big is Xiao Yexuan's background, Chen Miao only worried for a while and then forgot it. What she cares most now is whether her shop can survive this war without gunpowder.

The next day, Peiji Pastry put up a sign saying it was out of business, and Zheng Ji, who was on the opposite side, already knew about it within less than a stick of incense.

Zheng Yuan frowned slightly when he heard the boy's report.He walked to the door and looked around, and sure enough, he saw Peiji Bakery across the street closed, with four words posted on the door: closed for rectification.

Zheng Yuan murmured: "She doesn't seem like someone who would give up so easily. Suspend business for rectification...how to rectify?"

He pondered for a while, then ordered his servants to keep an eye on the storefront, and immediately spared him from the back, and went straight to Liu's residence.

When he came to Liu's Mansion, the servants took him to the study after reporting. Bai Lin, the head of Qingle County, was wearing a light-colored brocade gauze dress and was sitting under the window looking at the account books.

Seeing Zheng Yuan approaching, Bai Lin just slightly raised her eyelids, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Zheng Yuan bowed and said, "Pei Ji Bakery is closed."

Bai Lin's fingers flicked through the account book paused slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "I can't stand it so soon? Isn't that girl always very capable?"

Zheng Yuan asked softly: "May I ask the county lord, will our store continue to open? After all, the daily loss of money alone is almost five taels of silver. After a month, it is really a lot."

Bai Lin thought for a while: "Wait for a few more days until the store on the other side really closes and changes hands. Otherwise, I'm sorry for the big money I made for such a store."

Zheng Yuan bowed and said: "This subordinate understands." After speaking, he bowed and walked out quietly.

Bai Lin snorted softly, and murmured, "Ah Jing, I want you to know that without me, you can't do anything."

Peiji's closure for rectification was not very long. After seeing many people moving some strange cooking utensils to Peiji's shop, there was no further movement.

About ten days later, on a sunny day, Zheng Yuan was making a batch of pastries in the kitchen when he suddenly heard a burst of crisp and loud firecrackers coming from the opposite side.

He was slightly startled, and saw a young man running in and said, "Shopkeeper Zheng, the Pei Ji on the opposite side is newly opened."

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows, quickly wiped his hands and walked out quickly. Sure enough, he saw countless people standing at the door of Peiji Pastry.

After the sound of firecrackers, I heard a clear and pleasant woman say loudly: "Dear neighbors, thank you for your love for our small shop for such a long time, so we specially added several special pastries, welcome everyone to taste. Today's old The shop is newly opened, buy one get one free for all pastries, this is a rare opportunity, come and buy it quickly!"

Zheng Yuan frowned, and sure enough, he saw that many people had already surrounded him.

He tilted his head slightly, and whispered to the boy next to him: "You change your clothes, go over there and buy a few things and come back."

The little guy quickly agreed, and sure enough, he went down and changed into a normal suit, sneaked into the crowd, and bought a few things back.

Zheng Yuan looked at about a dozen pastries on the table, frowned and couldn't speak.

The boy said, "There is a table next to the counter, and there are many small plates on it. There are still chopped pastries for everyone to taste for free. All the pastries that have been made are gone, and dozens of them have been replaced. It’s a new variety. It’s got a nice name, such as milk skin crisps, silver ingot fish, plum blossom cakes, lotus leaf soup, and fragrant scallions.”

He pointed to several kinds of pastries in front of Zheng Yuan and said: "These are milk cakes, silver ingot fish and plum blossom cakes, and there are several small ones that can't be named."

With a sullen face, Zheng Yuan stretched out his hand and gently picked up a piece of so-called silver ingot fish. It looked like a fish, and it was no longer than a finger. The outer skin was made of unknown, but it was silver.

He chewed it lightly in his mouth, it was fragrant and crispy, and the stuffing inside was actually purple.

Zheng Yuan took a deep breath, he had been immersed in the pastry business for nearly ten years, but he couldn't taste the ingredients inside.

Just relying on this piece of pastry, Zheng Yuan knew that he had lost this war, and he had lost completely.

After the first day, the profit of Peiji Pastry exceeded any other day when the shop was opened.

Even if the price is more expensive than before, diners will scramble to buy it because of its good appearance, pleasing name, unique taste and delicious taste.

The people in Yunzhou City have a lot of money. Although there are many people who are greedy for cheap, more people pay more attention to appetite. As long as the taste is good, the price is second.

After closing the store at night, Chen Miao looked at all the food boxes that were sold out, hugged Pei Jing happily and screamed loudly.

Pei Jing put her arms around Chen Miao in a funny way, and said helplessly, "Mrs. Pei, at least you should pay attention to your own manners, okay?"

Chen Miao laughed loudly and said, "They are all my own people, so why are you afraid that someone will laugh at me?"

Covering her mouth, Mrs. Ye chuckled: "They've been married for almost a year, so why are you still acting like a child?"

Chen Miao turned around and hugged Mrs. Ye coquettishly: "It's all because you taught me well, Master, we are finally proud, why don't I be happy?"

Xiao Yexuan, who was sitting on the side shaking his fan and refusing to leave, said sarcastic words: "It's just the first day, but I'll make you happy like this. Doing business is not a one-day or two-day thing. Be careful when you open it a few more times." Today, those people got tired of eating, and went back to eat the cheap pastries across the way.”

Chen Miao made a grimace at him: "People who are used to eating abalone and seafood, will they go back to eat turf roots? Even if they accidentally eat turf roots once in a while, they will feel uncomfortable, right, Xiao son."

Xiao Yexuan snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored her self-conscious fanning, Chen Miao winked at Pei Jing, and the two smiled tacitly at each other.

Pei Jing gently took Chen Miao's hand, and said in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law, you have lost weight recently, remember to eat more, don't be too tired."

Chen Miao laughed softly, "As long as you stay by my side, I will be happy no matter how tired I am."

Xiao Yexuan suddenly retracted his fan heavily, stood up abruptly, and said with a sullen face: "If you want to make out, go back and make out. There are so many people here watching, you don't feel ashamed to panic!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

Chen Miao looked at his back speechlessly, and asked strangely, "Why is he losing his temper again?"

Then he quietly said to Pei Jing: "He has a much more serious temper than your original young master!"

Pei Jing chuckled and said, "Daughter-in-law, I've changed my mind a long time ago."

Chen Miao covered her lips and couldn't stop laughing, Ye looked at the place where Xiao Yexuan left, and couldn't help sighing softly.
