What happened in Shuntian Prefecture had long been known to everyone, and the usually cold and solemn Ministry of Justice was also bustling for several days because of this incident.

One of his colleagues couldn't resist his curiosity, walked up to Shangguan Song, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Brother Shangguan, your little sister who just came back is really different! In such a short time since she came to the capital, she has done so many shocking things by herself. Does your father have a headache?"

This man's eyes were full of mockery. His concern was fake, and his real intention was to join in the fun.

Shangguan Song raised his head from the piles of files, his haggard face showing a bit of hardness. He shook off the hand on his shoulder and said calmly:

"Brother Qi, instead of taking time to care about my family affairs, you might as well read a few more files so that I, your younger brother, will have less burden.

The things that were given to me in the letter will have a result in three days. If you don't hurry up, I will find it difficult to complete it even if I have three heads and six arms!"

"you!"

The young man was humiliated in public and his face turned ugly. He wanted to fight back, but couldn't find a suitable excuse. However, he felt uncomfortable just to endure it silently.

Just when he couldn't find the steps, a short and fat man next to him put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile:

"Oh my, Brother Shangguan must have been too tired to talk so he got too excited.

It's almost noon, why don't we go to Shuiyunjian to eat something. I heard that Shuiyunjian is like a paradise on earth, a great place to relax your body and mind! "

Among colleagues, some nodded in agreement, while others expressed disdain in their hearts.

It is said that the pretty cooks who cooked food openly in the hall for people to watch, and those who didn't know would think they had entered a brothel! It was not wrong, going to a brothel for entertainment could indeed make people happy physically and mentally.

Of course, such dirty thoughts can only be hidden in the bottom of their hearts. Shangguan Song is a well-known sister-protecting maniac. If they dare to speak rudely, they will never have a good life in the future!

After hearing that everyone wanted to support my little sister's shop, Shangguan Song's expression eased a little, and he bowed to everyone and said:

"I would like to thank you all for your support on behalf of my younger sister. Don't worry, I will give you a discount when you get to the store."

Forget about eating and freeing. His beloved sister works so hard to cook, and as the eldest brother, he wishes he could give her more money every time he goes there, let alone these outsiders.

With the lemon, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't wait to use it in the cake, which effectively removed the fishy smell of eggs.

In addition, with so many fruits, the store's drinks had more than ten more choices. She changed all the fruit names except orange to familiar names from her previous life because her cousins ​​said the fruit names were too rustic.

The prepared drinks were served in small white porcelain cups and distributed to the customers one by one. For a moment, the store was filled with the fragrance of fruit, and the sweet and sour taste whetted people's appetite.

Many people ordered several more desserts and were so satisfied with the food that they might even skip lunch.

There was a young man in the store who was responsible for whipping cream. Although he looked skinny and frail, he worked very hard and was very tenacious. He always had a satisfied smile on his face and was full of expectations for the future.

This person was the beggar that Xiao Shitou rescued. He was thought to be seven or eight years old at most, but when he asked, he found out that he was actually twelve years old.

Shangguan Qingyue looked at the little beggar who looked brand new, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and just told the female shopkeeper to give the child more good food and said nothing else.

The female shopkeeper readily agreed and felt lucky again that she had followed a good boss.

The boss was obviously only one year older than the young man, but he treated him like an elder and gave him earnest advice, fearing that the little beggar would suffer any injustice. This shows how kind he was.

Oh no, he can’t be called a beggar anymore. The boss gave the child a name with good meaning, Heshun.

Noon is the least crowded time in the store, after all, desserts cannot be eaten as meals. However, there is another place in the store that is full of people from beginning to end.

It is a place for students to read.

Most of them came from poor families and had to make do with their meals. They would usually go out and spend a dozen cents to buy two or three buns to eat with a bowl of hot fruit, and then return to Shuiyunjian after they were full.

Just when the shop assistants and cooks were about to doze off, the door curtain on the left was lifted, causing the wind chimes hanging on the door to make a pleasant sound.

The waiter was cheered up after hearing this. He quickly picked up a clean towel and ran over to wipe the soles of the guests' shoes one by one.

Some people couldn't help but tease,

"I didn't expect that a small snack shop would have so many details. Brother Shangguan, the food here is not outrageously expensive, right? I have parents and children to take care of, and I don't have much spare money!"

The person who was speaking was a notorious miser in the Ministry of Justice. Not only was he reluctant to spend money, he was also always calculating and trying to get a small advantage. The reason he came to Shuiyunjian with everyone today was mainly to eat for free.

But if the food in the store is too expensive, he is worried that no one will be willing to treat him. Those sweet snacks are only liked by women, and how can a grown man like him be willing to spend such money!

The boy who was wiping the soles of the guests' shoes became unhappy when he heard this. How could this man describe such an elegant place as a shady shop?

"Don't worry, sir. All desserts and drinks in the store are clearly marked with prices. If you think they are expensive, just don't order them. As long as there are other vacancies, we won't chase you away."

Shangguan Qingyue spotted her eldest brother among the crowd. She immediately put down her work and came out to greet him, shouting happily:

"Big brother."

Colleagues immediately turned their attention to the girl in front of them, full of curiosity and wanting to see her beauty.

She was wearing the same clothes as the cook in the shop, with a towel wrapped around her hair and an apron on her body. She left in a hurry and didn't have time to take off the mask on her face.

There were looks of contempt and disdain in the eyes of two or three people. If they had not known in advance, this outfit would be exactly the same as that of the cook in their own house. It was really ordinary!

Looking at Shangguan Song, who exuded a cool and noble aura, several people couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the Shangguan family had mistaken their daughter? !

However, ever since he saw his younger sister, Shangguan Song's entire attention was focused on her, and he was unaware of the strangeness of his colleagues around him.

He patted his little sister's shoulder gently and said in an unprecedented gentle tone:

"Yuer, I brought my colleagues to our store today to try some new things. I'm sorry to bother you. You work so hard in business, and as your big brother, I can't take advantage of you anymore. You must pay me later!"

Well! They thought they could get a free meal, but after hearing what Shangguan Song said, they were too embarrassed to even ask for a discount.

After the group sat down, Shangguan Qingyue gave suggestions based on everyone's taste. For those who like sweets, she recommended cream cake and fruit honey water, and for those who don't eat much sweets, she recommended low-sugar products with green tea or matcha milk.

After looking at the menu, the stingy guy ordered a plate of the most affordable bean paste pancake for the sake of face. However, when the food was served, everyone took a tentative bite and immediately gave up the idea of ​​sharing it with everyone.

It's so delicious that it hurts to give away a bite! They really learned a lot today. It turns out that the desserts that they used to think were sweet and choking can be made so refreshing and delicious!

The miser stared at his colleague's plate and couldn't help swallowing. The bean paste cake tasted good but was too ordinary. He was very curious about the emerald green pastry that exuded a strong milky aroma.

After enduring it again and again, he finally gave up the resistance, looked in the direction of the servant and cleared his throat.

"Well, what's the name of this emerald green snack? It looks pretty, pretty good..."
