NOVEL NEXT Chapter 174 A little trickster
Mao Xi had quick eyes and quick hands. She first took the bamboo cake cup from Mu Zhiyuan's hand, and then quickly handed it to the woman in the pink skirt.
The woman frowned, took the cake cup, moved her body, and said to a woman walking behind her: "Ayin, hurry up."
She sat at the outdoor rest table and chair with a cake cup. The woman named Ayin also took a cake cup from Mao Xi's hand and sat down with her, waiting for Luda's freshly ground coffee.
Mao Xi brought two cups of coffee to the table. Ayin was about to stand up when she was pushed down by the woman in pink skirt.
"Sister Qiao'er, there is a candy shop next door. Isn't it more comfortable to sit inside than outside?"
Lin Qiaoer used a wooden spoon to spread the butter on the cake cup, licked it, and said, "The air here is pretty good, and you can get some sunshine." After that, she winked in the direction of Mu Zhiyuan.
Her eyes were almost fixed on Mu Zhiyuan.
After running a small business for so long, Mao Xi had already noticed it.
She came to Mu Zhiyuan and whispered: "Brother Mu, the ladies are here to see you. Do you want to go in and grind coffee?"
Mu Zhiyuan glanced at the outdoor seating tables and chairs, then turned around and entered the fruit cake shop, changing posts with Luda.
Lin Qiaoer and her good sister Ayin were sitting and laughing, looking at Mu Zhiyuan from time to time and letting out sweet laughter.
There is a strange atmosphere of air-conditioned laughter, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Mao Xi came to Lin Qiaoer with a plate with two small fruits on it.
"You two girls, the candy shop next door belongs to the same family as us. Can you please move indoors to rest? There are still many empty seats inside."
Ayin imitated Shu Xi's words: "There are still a lot of empty seats inside, but it's a pity that the scenery is not as good as here~"
Lin Qiaoer smiled sweetly, holding a spoon in her slender hand to stir the strawberry jam and ghee in the cup, and said, "You are the shopkeeper of this place, right?"
"Exactly."
Lin Qiaoer suddenly stretched out her hand to take the lotus cake on the plate and looked at it: "This fruit is exquisitely made, but it's a pity that the taste is not as good as the one in Beidu Restaurant. I only ate it once and don't want to buy it again... But... She turned her head and glanced at Mu Zhiyuan, "The coffee drinks you have here are really novel. I want to drink them every day."
After saying that, he put the lotus cake back on the plate.
Ma Xi: "..."
She just took the fruit and put it back. Who would eat it in the future?
Mao Xi put the lotus cake on the plate and put it on Lin Qiaoer's table: "My dear lady, you have touched this fruit before. Please pay another 10 cents."
Lin Qiaoer pushed the lotus cake towards Ayin beside her: "This fruit is for you."
Then, she took 10 copper plates from her purse, threw them into the wooden plate where Mao Xi was holding the fruit, and said, "You count, there are 10 coins, not one is missing."
This woman is so arrogant!
Judging from her demeanor and movements, she must be a lady from some noble family.
Mao Xi suppressed the fire in her heart, collected 8 coins, and placed 2 coins in front of Lin Qiaoer.
"You've already touched this lotus cake. I'll give you a 20% discount and two cents in return."
Lu Da and A Tian, who were beside Ma Xi, couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
Before she could swallow this breath, Lin Qiaoer started acting like a monster again.
She stirred the remaining butter cake and strawberry jam in a bamboo cup until it turned into an unbearable red paste.
Lin Qiaoer raised the cup and poured the red paste on the lotus cake. Then she held up the diabolo cup and muttered with her throat: "Oh~ Ayin, look at it, why does this bamboo cup look so rough? The sides of the cup are full of scratches, could it be that they were used to hold pastries without being polished?"
Ayin cooperated with her, stretched her neck, and looked at Lin Qiaoer's bamboo cup: "It's true~ What if I accidentally eat bamboo shavings and scratch my stomach?"
Lin Qiaoer's eyes showed disdain and she continued to mock: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this cup is really ordinary, why not use a ceramic cup? Oh~ Ayin, you see there seems to be black mold on the bottom of the cup!"
She raised her voice deliberately.
Mao Xi hurriedly came to the two girls, checked the cups, and said: "You two ladies, we have boiled these bamboo cups in boiling water before use. There will never be any mold. They are only used once, and they are packed in bamboo tubes." It’s convenient for you to take away.”
We can't let these two people talk nonsense here.
Lin Qiaoer put the bamboo cup on the table and said jokingly: "Shopkeeper, don't panic~ I'm not wrong. Look, the bottom is indeed black."
There were already three or four people watching the excitement gathered outside the shop.
Mao Xi realized that this woman was going to make a big fuss, and was ready to step forward to stop it.
At this moment, Mu Zhiyuan came to Mao Xi's side with a pot of boiling water.
He poured boiling water into the bamboo cup, shook it a few times and poured it. After repeating it twice, he raised the bamboo cup to show everyone: "It's all a misunderstanding. There is strawberry jam at the bottom. The cup is very clean."
He put the bamboo cup in front of Lin Qiaoer: "Girl, take a closer look."
Lin Qiaoer pushed the bamboo cup away from her face, held her chin with her right hand, looked at Mu Zhiyuan with peach blossoms in her eyes, and said with a sweet smile: "You don't have to look, I believe you, Master."
Ma Xi: "...What kind of trouble is she trying to make?"
The people watching the excitement dispersed, and just as Ma Xi breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Qiaoer's sweet and soft voice floated over again.
"Shopkeeper, your moldy bamboo cup today has made people feel sad. How are you going to compensate me?"
Mao Xi has never encountered such an unreasonable young lady. Does this person want to eat the King's meal?
But looking at her gorgeous clothes, she doesn't look like she's short of money.
"There's nothing wrong with this cup, Miss. I'm sorry that the store can't compensate for it."
Lin Qiaoer stood up, pointed at Mao Xi's hands and said: "Shopkeeper, I want your hands. Come to my house today to make tea and coffee for the ladies. I will provide the materials. As long as you come How about I serve you all at my house for free for an afternoon?"
Serve? Still free? !
Mao Xi's mind flashed, she was going to use me as a free maid!
Her face darkened, and she refused face to face: "Miss, I can't go, please invite someone else. I have to pay labor fees when I go to the magistrate's house to make birthday cakes."
Lin Qiaoer took a step back, sat softly on the chair, and said coquettishly: "Hey, shopkeeper, don't be so cruel~ Now you are begging me not to make the matter bigger.
I only want you to come to my house for half a day tomorrow afternoon, and I won’t tie you up. Otherwise, if I publicize the cup problem in your shop among the sisters and wives, who will come here to eat your fruit syrup in the future? "
Lin Qiaoer's voice became louder and louder, and she almost shouted at the market that the bamboo cup was moldy.
there is always a solution to a problem.
Just go, am I still afraid of her?
Mao Xi reluctantly agreed, and then Lin Qiaoer and her sister Ayin left.
Before leaving, Lin Qiaoer glanced at Mu Zhiyuan meaningfully, and said flirtatiously: "This guy grinds coffee very well. If he can come, the ladies will be very happy."
On the way back to the house, Ayin said in confusion: "Sister Qiao'er, if you want her to come to the house to serve you, just give her two taels of silver. Why go to such trouble? And I heard that the young man is a reclusive prince. "
"I just want her to be my maid and do my bidding, so that she can know who is worthy of the prince."
"Sister, are you afraid that the prince will cause trouble for you in the future? I heard that they have a very good relationship."
Lin Qiaoer put away her voice and said proudly: "A recluse has no official or power, so what is there to be afraid of? If you have a good relationship, just knock it a few times, and there will always be cracks."
