Chen Xing looked at Zhao Jing with a nervous expression, thinking of the arrogant housekeeper who came a few days ago, he already had some thoughts in his heart, but he still smiled calmly on his face: "Miss, but Say it all right."

Seeing that Chen Xing did not show any rejection, Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly opened her mouth, "Does the little boss remember the dessert you gave me last time?"

Chen Xing nodded, of course he remembered it, but what Zhao Jing said now made him a little confused.

The guilt on Zhao Jing's face became more and more in front of her, she didn't even dare to look directly into Chen Xing's eyes, and said softly: "When you gave me that dessert last time, I happened to have one at home. The guest was there. So, I brought the dessert over and enjoyed it with the guest, who liked it very much."

Chen Xing vaguely guessed the following story, and sure enough, Zhao Jing went on to say: "I didn't expect my mother to see her like it, so I wanted to send her some more to bring her closer, and asked someone to come on her own initiative. threaten you."

At this time, Chen Xing suddenly figured out why a housekeeper would fight for dessert. It's just that he still doesn't quite understand, it's just a dessert, does it matter as much as he said?

Chen Xing thought so, and asked directly, and then saw that Zhao Jing in front of him seemed to be thinking of something, and the originally embarrassed face immediately appeared a bit of halo, looking extraordinarily the excitement,

"Naturally, little boss, you don't know, I have grown so big and have never eaten anything better than that dessert. Ever since I finished eating, I have been thinking about it, if it wasn't for worrying about bothering you , I actually want to buy some more."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jing's face seemed to be a little red, and she looked extra embarrassed.

Chen Xing was amused by her innocence. He felt that Zhao Jing was a good girl, otherwise he would not have stepped forward to help her block that slap that day.

Chen Xingnian turned to look at the shy girl in front of her, and asked bluntly, "So, you came here to let me make that dessert for you?"

Zhao Jing did not expect Chen Xing to guess what she meant at once, she looked at Chen Xing a little embarrassedly, and nodded embarrassedly, "Yes, that guest is extremely important to our family. , my mother is also trying very hard to make friends, so I have to trouble you."

Chen Xing raised his eyes and looked up after saying these words, his face had turned completely red, and he looked extraordinarily ashamed. , I gradually had some ideas in my heart.

Zhao Jing looked at Chen Xing who didn't answer after listening to her words, and felt a little anxious. She wasn't afraid of her mother's scolding, she was just being lectured, but she was afraid that if she couldn't ask for something, her mother would ask the housekeeper to ask for it again, it would not be so easy to be kind. Although she doesn't care about family affairs, she also heard that the following people talked about the way the second housekeeper behaved.

Fortunately, when Zhao Jing began to feel impatient and hesitated to tell Chen Xing the whole story, Chen Xing said directly, "Since it is the request of the young lady, then I will It should be down."

Zhao Jing's eyes lit up and she looked at Chen Xing incredulously, "Really?"

Chen Xing looked at her and curled the corners of her lips, said warmly: "Naturally, she will not deceive Miss."

Zhao Jing's anxiety was swept away just now, looking at Chen Xing's eyes shining, she said happily: "That's great."

Seeing Zhao Jing's happy appearance, Chen Xing became more and more sure of the thoughts in his heart, but he felt that those left and right had nothing to do with him, so he did not continue to ask, just continued: "What flavor do you need this time, Miss, and how much?"

Hearing Chen Xing's question, Zhao Jing's eyes gradually became a little confused, she blinked her eyes, and asked uncertainly, "Taste?"

"Yeah!" Chen Xing laughed heartily, revealing a little bit of white teeth, "That thing has a taste, naturally there are flavors to choose from, since it is to give away , isn't the customized taste better? There are many seasonal fruits at the moment, and the lady can do whatever she wants."

Zhao Jing struggled for a while, but did not find a reason.

Chen Xing didn't want to be so troublesome at first, but he has a good impression of Miss Zhao, and is naturally willing to think more about her. Looking at her appearance at this time, she said directly: "If you don't think about it now, why don't you go back and inquire about that guest's preferences, and it's not too late to tell me tomorrow."

Zhao Jing frowned, looked at Chen Xing with a big smile, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly greeted the maid to go back, but she still did not forget to buy a bowl of cold noodles from Chen Xing's stall before going back.

When Zhao Jing left, Qiu Jiu, who had been listening to them, came over and whispered in Chen Xing's ear, "Why did you promise her?"

Faced with Qiu Jiu who has been helping him, Chen Xing's patience is better, he explained softly: "Don't Gu Lang like that jelly very much? I originally planned to make it for him, other People are just incidental, so it's no big deal."

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing's eyes with a bit of complexity, some moved by how good he was to his son, and then heard the bright eyes of the person in front of him continue:

"Also, I suddenly thought that I could also sell jelly! Ordinary people can't afford it, but rich people can! When I have enough money, I can make Gu Lang's life has gotten better."

Seeing Chen Xing with high fighting spirit, Qiu Jiu moved his lips and wanted to tell him, in fact, he really didn't need to fight like that, really didn't need it, his son is not lacking Money, but in the end he remained silent.

Zhao Jing's speed was very fast, and before Chen Xing closed the stall, she hurried over in a sedan chair, not only told Chen Xing the taste she needed, but also paid her the full amount in advance .

Seeing that there was a lot of money, Chen Xing wanted to refuse, but was blocked by Zhao Jing's words.

"Little boss, I know you are kind, but this time the food is not eaten by me, but given away by my family. Naturally, there is no reason for you to work in vain. Moreover, this is a gift from my mother. private room."

Chen Xing remembered that when Zhao Jing said this, there was a shy look on her face, and he also took the money.

, asked him to help make a batch of molds, and went back after paying the fixed money.

When Chen Xing returned to Gu Mansion, and opened the door, he did not see Gu Lang, who used to be there to water the flowers, and was a little disappointed at the same time. He originally wanted to have a few words with Gu Lang and tell him what happened today.

"What's the matter?" Qiu Jiu, who was following behind, brought in the wheelbarrow, and saw Chen Xing standing still beside the door, and asked strangely.

Qiu Jiu's words suddenly woke him up, Chen Xing shook his head, indicating that he was all right, and then he and Qiu Jiu transported the things to the kitchen together, where the bones, pig skins, etc. While the things were being simmered in the big pot, I started to prepare today's lunch.

However, not long after Chen Xing was busy, Gu Lang walked in slowly.

Chen Xing seemed to be sensing something, and subconsciously looked over at the moment Gu Lang came in, when he saw that the person who came in was Gu Lang, when he didn't even notice it himself , immediately showed a bright smile, "Why are you here?"

Gu Lang walked slowly to Chen Xing's side, and said softly: "There is nothing left or right, let me see if there is anything you need help here."

Chen Xing let go of the minced garlic in his hand, and said quickly: "No, no, I can do it with Qiu Jiu's help. The two of us will be finished soon. If you are not healthy, don't do it. I kept going to the place with lots of fireworks."

When Chen Xing said this, Gu Lang subconsciously looked in Qiu Jiu's direction, and saw that he was sitting on a pony, peeling the onion in his hand seriously, With the gray clothes on him, he looked no different from ordinary people who were looking for a living on the streets, and he didn't look like the capable and streamlined bodyguard at all.

Seeing this, Gu Lang stopped in the past and seriously thought about whether he would become like that too.

Chen Xing didn't know what Gu Lang was thinking, thinking that he heard his persuasion, and hurriedly said: "Okay, we are really busy, we can eat in a while."

I thought about it for a while, and seemed to think that what I said just now was too perfunctory. : "How about you take that over first?"

Gu Lang looked at the bowl of braised pork with all the flavors and flavors, nodded, and took it out without changing his face.

Qiu Jiu looked at his young master who was obedient and left with the dishes, and then looked at Chen Xing next to him, who had been in a good mood since his young master came, shaking his body for some unknown reason goosebumps.

It takes several days to boil the glue. During these few days, Chen Xing not only bought all the fruits needed to make the jelly this time, but also brought back the custom molds from the old carpenter.

Gu Lang, who had been watching the labor of Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu, looked at the fruit spread in the yard, and his face was not very good at this time, because he already knew some of these things It was meant to be given away. Even if he knew that a large part of it was reserved for himself, he still felt unhappy, because he could obviously leave it all to him.

Gu Lang was not happy, but he didn't say anything, he just sat there sullenly, his eyes moving along Chen Xing who was working.

Occasionally, Qiu Jiu turned his head to see his son staring blankly at them, and he couldn't help shivering. He looked at the fruit in his hand, and then looked at his son's expression. He had some doubts that what he made was not jelly, but something that could kill people. Otherwise, why would his son have that expression. Chen Xing looked at the prepared fruit, and thought that he could make jelly after squeezing out the juice for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little happy. Then, as if thinking of something, he turned his head to look at Gu Lang who was sitting next to him, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to drink a glass of juice later? What flavor do you want? I'll get you a glass."

"A glass of grape flavor."

Chen Xing nodded and went back to work. At the same time, he also wrote down what Gu Lang wanted, thinking about adding more sugar and honey to Gu Lang's grape juice later .

Besides Qiu Jiu, watching the interaction between the two of them, he dared to swear that he saw the moment when Chen Xing turned to look at his son, his son's face instantly became gentle.

Finally, after Chen Xing finished squeezing the juice, he got himself and Qiu Jiu a glass of watermelon juice, and Gu Lang a glass of blended grape juice. All three of them had ice in their cups, but Gu Lang's share was a little less for him because he was worried about his body.

Gu Lang got the glass of ordinary juice that belonged to him, and there was a little bit of unhappiness on his face, but Chen Xing quickly noticed it.

Chen Xing carefully explained his concerns to Gu Lang, and the influence of ice on him many times, and then watched Gu Lang take a sip with no expression, and accepted his proposal.

Chen Xing turned his head to look at him, when he was not very familiar with Gu Lang at first, he thought he was a very cold literati. After I got to know him gradually, I realized that he would sometimes play a little temper silently like a child!

Perhaps Chen Xing's eyes were too focused, Gu Lang, who was drinking grape juice, turned his head to look at it, and asked a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Chen Xing shook his head, smiling like a cat that stole, "It's okay, just have a look."

Gu Lang felt that Chen Xing was hiding something from himself, but he saw the warm light in his eyes and did not continue to ask.

In the afternoon when the sun was not very hot, the three of them sat under the eaves and enjoyed the rare peace. Chen Xing looked at the mottled sky and suddenly felt that such a day was not bad.

That afternoon, Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu, who had rested, started to make jelly, with Gu Lang occasionally taking the lead, and the scene was once harmonious.

When the jelly was taken out of the mold, Qiu Jiu couldn't help but exclaimed, "Chen Xing, these are too beautiful!"

Compared to Qiu Jiu's surprise, Chen Xing was not very satisfied. He felt that if there was a better method of extracting materials and using a more precise mold, the effect might be better. . However, he soon felt that his requirements were too high. After all, it was very good to be able to do it here.

Chen Xing comforted himself for a while, then looked at Gu Lang next to him, and said happily: "This is the jelly we made, look at the ones you like, pick the ones you like first and keep them. I'll pack the rest for them depending on the situation."

Hearing Chen Xing's words, Gu Lang's unpleasantness that had been rising secretly in the past few days disappeared in an instant, and he turned to look at Chen Xing, who was staring at him expectantly, and chuckled: "it is good."

When Gu Lang selected the ones he liked, Chen Xing left a portion for the family that could be eaten before it broke, and then picked out the ones that were needed in the rest. It was given to Zhao Jing, and it was promised to Master Fu.

At this time, the craftsmanship was relatively slow, and he did not have many molds, so Chen Xing did not have many patterns, and the rest were ordinary shapes.

Chen Xing put the rest of the patterned ones on Zhao Jing, and Fu Gongzi's share was an ordinary oval. As for the rest, he was going to look at the feedback from Master Fu before deciding how to pack it.

The next day, it was also the time Chen Xing and Miss Zhao agreed to come get the jelly.

Before Chen Xing arrived at the booth, he saw a woman standing in front of his booth. When he got closer, he realized that it was the maid who came to get jelly for Zhao Jing last time.

When the maid saw Chen Xing coming, she first blessed him with a gentle smile, and then said warmly: "Little boss, I'm here to pick up the things that my lady ordered. "

Chen Xing still had a good impression of her. After listening to her words, he immediately handed her the basket he was carrying and said at the same time, "Everything is in it."

The maid was holding the simple food box in her hand, but she didn't expect that this was what her young lady Qian Ding Lingwan ordered, her eyes changed for a moment, but the smile on her face did not weaken in the slightest, " Thank you little boss."

Chen Xing didn't notice his expression, he waved his hand and said indifferently: "You're welcome, I took the money this time."

The maid looked at Chen Xing's handsome face, didn't say anything, smiled and left with the food box.

When the maid left with the things, Chen Xing looked at Qiu Jiu next to him and muttered: "Did I bring her back because I got a beautiful food box for her? After all, I took so much. money."

Qiu Jiu next to him shook his head disapprovingly, and said lightly, "I don't think it is necessary, after all, you are selling taste, not appearance." Hearing Qiu Jiu Chen Xing nodded and felt that he was right, then raised his eyebrows and looked at him, teasing: "I didn't expect you to know a lot."

Qiu Jiu scratched his head, and said stupidly: "It's all a good teacher."

The two started to set up a stall while talking and laughing, but what made Chen Xing feel strange was that Fu Gongzi, who used to come to his stall every day to sell food, disappeared today. , and he didn't even send out the jelly that he brought with him.

Chen Xing thought about it for a while, and felt that Mr. Fu should have been delayed by something, so he decided to wait until tomorrow. After all, Mr. Fu, who loves food so much, can't wait peacefully after knowing that he can eat what he has always wanted to eat.

Mother Zhao, who went out to socialize with Father Zhao, walked straight towards Zhao Jing's yard as soon as she returned to Zhao Mansion.

When she saw Zhao Jing sitting in the main hall, she asked directly, "Where's the stuff?"

As soon as Zhao Jing saw Mother Zhao, she froze. At this time, she did not dare to hesitate to speak, and asked the maid beside her to bring the food box she had taken back.

At the first sight of the food box, Mother Zhao's eyebrows wrinkled, looking at the box with disgust, and a bit of dissatisfaction in her voice, "He just Use this stuff."

Zhao Jing saw Mother Zhao's expression and knew that she was not happy, but she still bit her head and said: "Mother, look at things first."

Although Mother Zhao disliked it, she still knew the importance and asked the mammy beside her to open the box, but she was shocked the moment she saw what was inside.

There are seven jelly in the shape of flowers neatly placed inside, each of which is a different color, taking advantage of the transparent state, it looks great.

Seeing this one and only one, Mother Zhao knew the value of it, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, hurry up and change the box for them, while it's still early, I'll go Visit the magistrate's wife."

After finishing speaking, Mother Zhao didn't say anything else, and let the servants hurriedly leave with the food box.

Zhao Jing has been standing by the side to send Zhao mother off, until she left, she sat down slowly, and let out a long breath. The mother is finally over.

It wasn't until the room became quiet again that the maid next to Zhao Jing muttered, "Miss, the madam doesn't leave a compliment, that's what the madam has worked so hard for, and the maid will take care of it by herself. Go in so much self."

Zhao Jing didn't look at her but smiled helplessly, and said to the maid warmly: "Mother is happy, everything that affects me is not all given by the Zhao family. How. It's just that you don't say such words in the future, lest it spread to your mother's ears and find an opportunity to punish you. "

The maid was frightened and immediately covered her mouth.

When Zhao Jing saw it, she looked at her and said lightly, "Okay, now my mother is gone, go and get me something to eat to pad my stomach, be careful."

The maid looked at her hesitantly, and finally went out according to her instructions.

Until the room became quiet, Zhao Jing sighed softly and muttered to herself, "I just hope that my mother will not be greedy in the future."

The jelly for Mr. Fu, Chen Xing didn't give it out on the first day, but he took it with him the next day after hesitating. He thought that if Young Master Fu hadn't come to get it today, he would have eaten it by himself, otherwise it would have broken easily if it wasn't frozen.

In the end, Chen Xing arrived at the booth and saw a familiar fat figure at a glance, waiting there anxiously. Even though they were far apart, Chen Xing recognized at a glance that the man was Mr. Fu.

"What about my food?"

Fu Gongzi was holding the box with excitement written all over his face, but he did not open it immediately, but looked at Chen Xing and said, "It's time to wait, I'll go first." Without saying anything more, he hurried away holding the box.

Chen Xing looked at Fu Gongzi's back hurriedly running away, and couldn't help but say, "The power of foodies is really great!"

Qiu Jiu next to him was a little unclear, but looking at Chen Xing with an expression of admiration, he struggled for a while and didn't ask more, after all, it had nothing to do with him.
