Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Shangguan Qingyue was busy making pastries in the store.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the floor heating in the store was used early. The hot air in the room hit the cold glass windows and condensed into fine water droplets, completely blocking the scenery outside the window.

In order to avoid embarrassment and discomfort for the young lady from a noble family when meeting a strange man, Shangguan Qingyue renovated the store.

The main door of the shop was sealed with colored glaze, and then two doors were opened on each side. The left side was decorated with ultramarine cotton curtains, and the right side was decorated with lotus color, which showed the ladylike feeling. The two complemented each other and attracted passers-by to look sideways and stop.

The middle right side of the entire first floor hall is separated by a green gauze curtain embroidered with peony, lotus, chrysanthemum and plum blossoms representing the four seasons.

As people come and go, the gauze curtain is blown up by the breeze, dancing gracefully. The vague figures of the people opposite can be vaguely seen in the interweaving of light and shadow.

The boys and girls' ears turned red, and they glanced at the opposite side from time to time with the corner of their eyes, their hearts beating fast.

The wind outside was cold and bleak, but the room was warm as spring. In addition, the food and drinks tasted great, so the number of customers coming to the restaurant increased instead of decreased as winter approached.

In addition, students who were suffering from the severe cold at home also came to the store. When they had a little more money, they would order some food they liked and read books for an hour or two.

If you are short of money, you can copy the books carefully according to the store rules in exchange for the opportunity to read for free.

In order to accommodate more people in the store, Shangguan Qingyue specially cleared out a space on the left side against the wall and placed the long and narrow wooden table from south to north.

In this way, at least more than 30 people can sit side by side.

A good leisure shop is becoming more and more like a college, and the environment is still the most comfortable and pleasant one. This rare and elegant atmosphere attracts people.

After the two brothers Baili Jinheng and Baili Jinlin had washed and tidied up their respective yards, they came to the store together without stopping for a moment.

The two of them lifted the ultramarine door curtain, and a wave of heat hit them in the face, and the tightened pores all over their bodies quickly relaxed.

There was a waiter at the door to greet the guests, who said respectfully:

"My two lords, please stay here for a while. I will clean the soles of your shoes for you."

Baili Jinlin couldn't help laughing:

"I haven't been here for a while, and I almost don't recognize this shop. Can you tell me why I need to polish my shoes before entering? My little cousin is too particular!"

The servant knelt on the ground, wiping the soles of his shoes carefully, and explained with a smile:

"Sir, I think it has been a while since you came here. Now the floor of our store is covered with beautiful carpets that are comfortable to walk on barefoot.

You will understand when you go in and take a look. No one would dare to step on it and make it dirty."

Baili Jinheng, who was waiting quietly on the side, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling emotional. His little cousin always brought unexpected surprises!

When the two stepped onto the soft moss carpet, they were stunned! Just a door apart, they were two completely different worlds!

Bing Ling was the first to notice the two's arrival. At this time, she was accompanying Shangguan Qingyue to taste the newly made cakes. She used to be so powerful, but now her eyes are less sharp and her face is much softer.

She motioned for the people around her to look at the door, and Shangguan Qingyue looked up and immediately smiled. Although she couldn't see her expression because of the mask, her eyes curved into a crescent shape, which made many men present lose their minds.

They had seen the true appearance of the Second Miss Shangguan. She was not outstanding among the noble ladies in the capital, but she had the ability to make people unable to take their eyes off her.

At her signal, the two brothers walked directly through the first-floor lobby to the back door. Shangguan Qingyue also took off her mask and handed over the matters in her hands to Mother Dou.

The group walked along the warm corridor to the reception room in the backyard. After sitting down, Shangguan Qingyue asked impatiently:

"Cousins, what did you gain from this trip south?"

Baili Jinlin, who was always impatient, immediately said with a smile:

"My little cousin, our brothers have accomplished our mission this time. How do you plan to thank us?"

After personally pouring hot tea for the two of them, Shangguan Qingyue said with a smile:

"Then we have to first hear what good things the two cousins ​​have brought back. I've been looking forward to it so much that my neck has become longer!"

The two brothers smiled at each other, and Baili Jinlin spoke first:

"This trip south really broadened our horizons. According to the diagram you drew, we found oranges, egg fruits, limonene, and sweet osmanthus. The world is truly full of wonders!"

Thinking of something, Baili Jinlin couldn't help but shudder, took a sip and continued:

"We have tried all these fruits, but the Li Mengzi is the only one that is hard to accept. What are you going to do with this sour thing, cousin?"

The fruits that Baili Jinlin mentioned were called orange, passion fruit, lemon and grapefruit in Shangguan Qingyue's previous life.

Although it was a pity that the coconut-producing area was too far away and she was unable to buy any this time, the fruits that her fourth cousin had just mentioned had already made her very happy.

She leaned forward slightly with some excitement, looking at the other person with sparkling eyes.

"Fourth cousin, did you buy all those things you just mentioned? How much did you bring back in total?"

The girl suddenly approached, Baili Jinlin couldn't help leaning back, his ears felt a little hot. Baili Jinheng couldn't help but frown slightly,

"Cousin, I'm a little hungry, can someone bring me some food?"

Shangguan Qingyue blushed at her own negligence, and she quickly called the servants to bring seven or eight plates of desserts according to the two people's tastes.

She laid them out one by one in front of the two of them and explained:

"These desserts are too sweet to digest, so I won't give the two cousins ​​drinks from the store. Tea is just enough to help them get rid of the greasiness."

Baili Jinheng saw that she had finished her work, then he took over the conversation and continued:

"We brought back ten truckloads of fruit in total. Locals said that the egg fruit is the most durable, so it was loaded onto four truckloads, and the rest were loaded onto other trucks."

"How are the fruits arranged? How many are delivered to the store?"

Seeing their little cousin so anxious, the two brothers quickly cleared the food on the table, gulped down a cup of tea, and took her to the warehouse in the shop.

Baili Jinlin said as he walked: "I ordered the servants to pack one truck and bring it to the store, and the rest were placed in the ice cellar in the mansion."

All wealthy families would build icehouses in their houses, the only difference being the size. Although Baili Nanqing was usually careless, he was a good housekeeper, and the configuration of his house was no less than that of a first-rank official.

In order to ensure that the family can eat fresh and rare fruits and vegetables, and not suffer from the heat in summer, the ice cellar was built very spacious. Not to mention ten carts of fruit, even twice as much can be accommodated.

As soon as they approached the storeroom, they smelled a rich fruity aroma. Shangguan Qingyue personally uncovered the thick cotton cloth covering the fruits and swept over the slightly green fruits one by one.

Baili Jinheng explained upon seeing this:

“I heard from local fruit farmers that the fruits should be picked raw, as ripe ones will spoil easily.

In fact, we still have no idea whether these half-ripe fruits can be ripened, and whether the taste will be far from that of fruits picked fresh from the branches. "

"Let someone put some ripe fruits around, so that they can ripen faster." Shangguan Qingyue blurted out subconsciously, and regretted it after she finished speaking.

It seems a little unreasonable for a little girl like her to know so much. Tsk, she has to make up something to get away with it again...
