Chapter 220 Farce
Mao Xi came to Mrs. Hu's table and asked, "Mrs. Hu, what do you guys want to eat? The shop has new ice powder and Sushan. They all taste great."
When Mrs. Hu saw the shopkeeper Liu she was talking about coming, she introduced her to her sisters with a smile: "Do you think my daughter-in-law is pretty?"
Seeing that Mrs. Hu answered the question inappropriately, Mao Xi smiled awkwardly and said, "Mrs. Hu, are you kidding me? How can I, a little cook, compare to your young master? What do the other ladies want to eat?"
"Shopkeeper, please give each of us a portion of this ice cold noodle." A woman on the side seemed a little tired of Mrs. Hu's self-concerned bragging, so she ordered sugar water for everyone.
Ma Xi turned around and went to the kitchen.
At this time, Jia Yuanbing, the county's ice creamer, also came to the candy shop.
"Waiter, order me one of your ice drinks. Do you have any recommendations?"
Atang greeted him and recommended Matcha Sushan and Pearl Milk Tea Sushan to Jia Yuanbing.
"Sushan? It still tastes like milk tea! Then have a piece of pearl milk tea Sushan."
Atang went to the kitchen and reported the food order: "Shopkeeper, this is a pearl milk tea Sushan ordered by Jia Yuanbing, the ice creamer in the county."
Mao Xi poked her head out of the kitchen and looked towards the outer room. It was indeed Jia Yuanbing.
Everyone who came was a visitor, but fortunately she had been prepared.
In order to increase the texture of the iced milk tea, Maoxi cooked the matcha and milk tea in advance and put them in the freezer to freeze them into a large piece of ice.
When ready to sell, put the whole piece of milk tea ice into the ice bucket in the kitchen for later use.
This is directly grinding milk tea into shaved ice, which tastes better than pure smoothie topped with milk tea.
Seeing A Yuan delivering ice powder to Mrs. Hu's table, Ma Xi found the right opportunity, entered the space, and quickly took out two boxes of matcha ice and milk tea ice that had been frozen in advance.
She took out the milk tea ice, ground it into a bowl of smoothie with a hand-cranked ice machine, and poured it into a plate to form a small mountain.
Then he added a spoonful of butter and garnished it with brown sugar pearls, then he personally carried the bowl of butter and delivered it to Jia Yuanbing.
"Master Jia, this is the Sushan you want."
Jia Yuanbing had long heard that the drinks sold by Shui Xi's sweet water shop were delicious and unique in shape.
It was not like he had never eaten Sushan before, but it was made of ghee and ice residue, and there was nothing new about it.
Today, he was pleasantly surprised by the ice cream made from black tea and milk, paired with butter and brown sugar pearls.
"Shopkeeper Liu, you really put your heart into making this Bingsu Mountain, and the taste is also unique."
"As long as Mr. Jia likes it, come to our shop often."
Mrs. Hu who was on the side saw Mr. Bingzhisi, who was in charge of selling ice, talking to Shu Xi, and she also intervened, hoping to get close to Jia Yuanbing.
"Master Jia, what a coincidence. Our shopkeeper Shu Xi is very good at his craftsmanship, isn't he?"
As he spoke, he gently patted Miao Xi on the back in front of Jia Yuanbing, as if she were an elder.
Mao Xi took a few steps back and moved to the side: "Mrs. Hu, please stop talking nonsense. How come you and I are from the same family? I own a snack shop in Lihua Town, and your husband owns a restaurant. Why are we talking so much?" Isn’t it an exaggeration to say that you are right?”
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she covered up her embarrassment with laughter and immediately added: "Mr. Jia, you see how strict this kid is when he talks. My son will ask her to be his wife in the future. Why don't you think we are a family? ?”
Jia Yuanbing, who has been in officialdom for a long time, naturally knows the difference. He knows that Mrs. Hu is just talking about getting an advantage and enjoying her life.
But he just didn't want Mrs. Hu to succeed.
After all, shopkeeper Ma Xi sold the ice-making recipe to the Ice Cream Division, so he still had to help.
Jia Yuanbing pretended to cough a few times, and said seriously to Mrs. Hu: "Mrs. Hu, this is wrong! You didn't even ask shopkeeper Liu if he was willing, so why did you 'post' your son on your own?"
Jia Yuanbing deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "backward posting".
Mrs. Hu's face darkened when Jia Yuanbing said this, but she didn't dare to get angry. On the contrary, several of her sisters at the table covered their mouths and snickered.
"What are you talking about? Mr. Jia is drunk and talking nonsense. My old man is planning to buy a restaurant in Kaitang County. I just want to give it to them when shopkeeper Liu becomes my daughter-in-law!"
Jia Yuan coldly snorted: "Mrs. Hu, have you bought this restaurant?"
"At that time, I was waiting for shopkeeper Liu to enter my house, so he would naturally buy it."
"Mrs. Hu, your family has really made a good plan. You haven't even bought the restaurant yet. Is this a big deal? Shopkeeper Liu's parents haven't even agreed yet, so you are spreading the word that she wants to be your wife. My pure and good reputation will be ruined by you. Shopkeeper Liu doesn’t hold you accountable because she has a good temper. I can’t stand being an outsider anymore!”
Mrs. Hu: "You..."
Mrs. Hu was so rebuffed that she did not dare to fight back, but due to Jia Yuanbing's identity, she could not quarrel with him.
She turned to Mao Xi and boasted to her again: "Oh, our shopkeeper Liu in Lihua Town is pretty and good at business. Our Hu family is also a wealthy family. Apart from our children, most of them are probably No one is worthy of Shopkeeper Liu, right?"
Ma Xi:......
Shui Xi also didn't expect that Mr. Jia and Mrs. Hu would come into conflict over her matter.
From the bottom of her heart, she was grateful to Jia Yuanbing for speaking for her.
She was trying to find an excuse to drive Mrs. Hu out of the shop: "Mrs. Hu, have you finished your ice powder? There are still many customers queuing up outside the shop?"
Those customers were here to queue up. It was because Mrs. Hu had such a loud voice that everyone came to watch the farce.
Jia Yuanbing directly put the ice spoon on the table.
This shocked Mrs. Hu.
"What do you mean you are the only one in the Hu family! Who do you think Prince Mu is? Don't you know Prince Mu of Prince Jia's Mansion?"
Mrs. Hu naturally knows, but she intends to keep her eyes open. Prince Mu has no official position, only a title and a palace. In terms of wealth, he may not be more rich than the Hu family.
A strong dragon will not suppress a local snake, and she is not afraid of whether the king is good or not.
But in terms of appearance, she still had to pretend: "Mr. Jia is right, of course the prince is the biggest, but it also depends on whether shopkeeper Liu likes it, right? She runs a food shop and our family runs a restaurant. Don't you think it's absolutely right?" Is it worthy?"
"Mrs. Hu, whether it is worthy or not is not up to you, but to shopkeeper Liu himself!" Mu Zhiyuan came to the candy shop carrying a bag of peach gum.
Seeing this, Mao Xi immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Mrs. Hu, please stop telling others that I want to be your daughter-in-law. Your family's wealth is extraordinary, and I don't dare to reach for it!"
"Shopkeeper Liu, don't be afraid. Did the prince force you? We ordinary people are not afraid of being bullied. If you have any difficulties, tell me." Mrs. Hu turned her head and pointed the finger at Mu Zhiyuan.
The ladies at the same table with her pulled Mrs. Hu's sleeves and whispered: "Sister Hu, that's enough. People have made it so clear. Isn't it painful enough for you to be hit in the face? Let's go quickly, I It’s embarrassing to sit here.”
Mu Zhiyuan walked up to Shu Xi in front of everyone, took her hand and said, "I like Shopkeeper Liu, but if she doesn't like me, I won't force her!"
Mao Xi did not break away from Mu Zhiyuan's hand. The two of them clasped their hands and looked at Mrs. Hu together.
Mrs. Hu only felt that there were many pairs of eyes looking at her at this moment.
Her face looked hot.
