Chapter 45 Opportunity (2)

That day in his study, he heard someone selling shell decorations at the door, and with a playful attitude, he asked the servant to buy some and come back to watch them. Unexpectedly, the decorations were sold out, and the servant only bought a blueprint when he came back. "Carp Leaping over the Dragon's Gate", more or less regretted that he didn't go out to buy the ornaments earlier, because he was also preparing for the scientific examination next year.

Lin Wei just felt regretful, but his two good friends, Qi Yi'an and Wu Yanyu, were beating their chests and feet because they didn't buy "Carp Leaping over the Dragon's Gate", nagging all day long.

No, I have been inquiring about the origin of this girl a while ago, but I found nothing.

He was also worried that the two friends would affect their studies, so he invited them to the beach to pick up shells and relax.

"Young master, it's me." Bai Beibei smiled back.

When Mancang saw a stranger, he held onto his sister's clothes tightly, looked at the two of them timidly, and dared not speak.

"Girl, it's really you! My surname is Lin and my name is Wei. I have long heard that the girl is ingenious and can make all kinds of decorations out of shells. I am lucky to meet you today."

Lin Wei didn't expect to have unexpected gains here, so he hurriedly asked the boy to call his friend.

After Lin Wei ordered the boy to say something to Bai Beibei, Bai Beibei smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, my brother and I are going home, so we won't disturb you."

"Hey, girl." Seeing that Bo Beibei was about to leave, Lin Wei quickly called out to stop him: "Miss, can you wait a moment?"

"Mr. Lin, is there anything else?"

Lin Wei seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for him to force him to stay, so he paused and asked with a smile, "Does the girl live nearby?"

Seeing Bo Beibei's vigilant expression, Lin Wei hurriedly said, "Girl, don't get me wrong, I just want to ask for some water at your house."

Bo Beibei's face lit up unabashedly: "Okay, my family is in the business of tea and meals, and my family is over there."

Bo Beibei said and pointed in the direction of his home.

Lin Wei obviously didn't expect that Bo Beibei's house was still in the business of tea and meals, he was taken aback for a while, then smiled and said: "Okay, girl, my friends are coming, let's go to your house together for a while. Rest."

"Okay, all distinguished guests are willing to patronize the humble house, we are honored." Bai Beibei bit the word "patronage" very hard, and the meaning must be understood by Mr. Lin.

Bai Beibei said goodbye to Lin Wei, and went back with his younger brother to prepare tea and food.

When Feng heard that there would be guests coming, he became anxious: "Beibei, what do you think I will make cakes for the guests later?"

In fact, Feng didn't have any hope for this business at first, so she didn't even think about making something delicious, otherwise she would have asked her daughter to go to the town to buy some mung bean powder, lotus root powder and so on, so it would be easy to do some pastries.

"Mom, if you don't have ingredients, just make something for them to have tea." Bai Beibei pondered for a while, and then said: "As for lunch, don't we have some fish in the water tank? Just make the fish, Then pick some chrysanthemum chrysanthemums, get an egg or something."

It's really difficult to be a mother without enough ingredients. Tomorrow, she will go to the town to buy more ingredients for making pastries.

In fact, Bai Beibei only thought about dinner, not about refreshments, and she didn't know how to cook, so she bought less ingredients for making pastries.

"Are they going to have lunch here too?" It's not yet time, so will it take so long for them to come and have a cup of tea?
"Mom, they will definitely eat here, let's set a price for the food first." Bai Beibei said confidently.

"This... Beibei, it's up to you." It's okay to let Feng Shi cook, but she really can't do business.

"Mom, let's make something easy to remember. Let's set a uniform price of [-] yuan for meat dishes, [-] yuan for vegetarian dishes, [-] yuan for a pot of tea, and [-] yuan for a snack." It's too complicated, Bai Beibei I am worried that my mother can't remember, and it's not easy to calculate. She has her own things to do, so she can't stay here all the time.

"Bei Bei, is this too expensive?" Mrs. Feng hesitated, this is the seaside, not a county town, and a hundred coins can buy a lot of things.

"Mother, you also said that you used to be a cook in a rich family. Don't you understand the style of those rich children? I heard that they rewarded servants with more than one hundred and eighty renminbi."

Wen Fang, Feng nodded his head: "Beibei, what you said makes sense. If our meals are too cheap, maybe those noble people would not even bother to come to us."

For the psychology of those rich people, Feng still knows a little bit.

"That's it," Bo Beibei said with a smile: "Mom, I'll go and wash the tea set first, and you can make some refreshments, and those people will come later."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Feng thought in his heart, if this business can really make money, he will let Man Chuan help at home in the future and not let him go to sea.

"Mother, I'll help you light the fire." Mancang followed Feng Shi into the kitchen.

As soon as Bo Beibei washed the tea set and put it on the table, the young master surnamed Lin led a few people over. Among them were two young people who looked as luxurious as the young master Lin, and the other three wore Commoner should be their entourage.

Bo Beibei blinked, smiled and welcomed them into the shed: "Master Lin, hello, everyone, please sit down."

Bo Beibei put the tea set, tea leaves and charcoal stove on the table and asked them to make tea by themselves.

As soon as Bai Beibei exchanged a few words with them, Feng brought out the pastries that had been prepared.

"Young masters, our seaside is relatively remote, and there are no good things, so please don't dislike it." Feng looked at Mr. Lin and the others in trepidation.

She has not dealt with these nobles for more than ten or twenty years, and she is afraid of them in her heart.

Smelling the scent of eggs, Bai Beibei looked at the golden pastry on the plate in surprise. Is this the ancient version of cake?

"It smells so good!" Lin Wei and the others couldn't help being slightly surprised when they smelled the scent of the pastries.

They came here with a purpose, and they didn't have any hope for the refreshments in this rural place, but smelling the aroma of the pastries, Lin Wei and the others couldn't help but reach out to pick up the pastries and taste them.

"Ma'am, you made this pastry?" Lin Wei nodded in satisfaction after taking a bite of the pastry: "It's sweet but not greasy, and it smells like eggs. It's very good."

"It's not only good, it's even more delicious than the cakes made by the chef in my house." Qi Yi'an tasted a piece, and said with unsatisfactory meaning.

"It's good that you don't dislike it, gentlemen." Feng Shi said and retreated into the house.

"Young masters, please excuse me for a moment. If you need anything, just call me." After finishing speaking, Bai Beibei went into the room.
