Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day
Chapter 18 A troublemaker came
Mother Liao flattered Mrs. Jiang and hurried to see her, leaving her daughter Qiuyan to guard the door.
Mo Chenxi asked anxiously, "How is it? Are there many people?"
Mother Liao's eyes lit up as she said excitedly, "There are so many! I've been watching from across the street since early morning. When the shop opened, some people were curious and went in to buy some. Then half of them came back to buy more. They were all the new snacks. Some people came back again and they were sold out, so they made reservations as my wife asked. Some people paid deposits on the spot."
Mo Chenxi felt relieved.
Reservations also depend on the quantity that can be produced on the same day. You can’t order a lot just because business is good and then not be able to produce it. Wouldn’t that damage your reputation?
The shop owner and staff are all from the eldest sister-in-law Zhou's family. The official owner is Zhou's cousin and his wife. Her cousin was sick when he was a child and he didn't grow much. The wife he married is big and strong. She carries her husband like a chicken. She is not ugly, but not good-looking either. This is why they were chosen.
When doing business in public, a female boss cannot be too graceful, otherwise she will attract many idle men.
Mother Liao was very excited, and she lowered her voice. "I also saw Grandpa Mo and my eldest uncle watching from a distance. The shop in the county town is also opening today, and my second uncle is watching. Judging from the situation, we can make a lot of money before the New Year."
Mo Chenxi smiled happily. No matter how much or how little she earned, as long as she could make money, she had confidence in herself, and her father-in-law also had confidence in her.
She wanted to open a restaurant on her own but she had no capital, no connections, and had to do it behind the He family's back, so she could only cooperate with her mother's family.
The master and servant were just overjoyed when the maid's voice came from outside the door, "Madam, the second aunt is here. The old lady wants you to come over."
Mo Chenxi and Liao's mother looked at each other.
The second aunt is He Wenyan's sister from the same mother and He Wenliang's elder sister. Mo Chenxi has never seen this second aunt since she came here.
Mother Liao kept complaining that the second aunt was exactly the same as the old lady, the only difference was that the old lady was trying to subsidize her own family, while the second aunt was trying to use her own family to subsidize her husband's family and please them.
The reason why she didn't come because her original body was sick was because she couldn't take advantage of it by coming back, and she couldn't go back to her parents' home empty-handed, so she found all kinds of excuses not to come back.
Mother Liao whispered to Mo Chenxi, "The sun is rising from the west. Did you know it's Laba Festival and you're here to send gifts to your parents' home?"
Mo Chenxi did not bring Mother Liao with her and asked her to leave quickly, so as to avoid the old lady asking Mother Liao to deliver things directly from the farm to her daughter's in-laws.
When she got there, she saw a woman in her early thirties looking at her with a smile. She looked like the old lady's daughter.
"Sister-in-law, I heard you're back? You're well again? I was so happy I cried. I just told my mother about it. Sister-in-law is a great contributor to our He family."
Mo Chenxi didn't know what her intention was in flattering him like that. Suddenly, he thought of the dim sum shop. Could it be that she came here just for the dim sum?
But there was no way the mother-in-law wouldn't tell her that the snack was no longer hers.
She smiled and said a few polite words. Mrs. He was really good at praising people. She praised her good complexion, good skin and good spirit.
Mo Chenxi complained in her heart that the more she praised him, the more demands he would make.
As expected, He continued, "I just heard a piece of news that startled me. My sister-in-law came back from the street and said that my sister-in-law's shop has changed to selling dim sum. Business is so good that there's a long queue. I hurried back to ask my mother, and she said that my sister-in-law sold the shop. What a pity! Such a good location, why did she sell it?"
Old Madam Jiang pulled her aside and told her why she had sold it. It was a pity that she was still here.
Mo Chenxi smiled faintly and said, "Yes, your eldest brother also said it was a pity. It hurts my heart to think about it now, but at that time, I was in urgent need of money. Your eldest brother said that he would ask my second sister if he could borrow some money, so I wouldn't have to sell the shop. Later, I thought that I didn't want to make things difficult for my second sister, so I didn't ask."
He was stunned. When did her sister-in-law say that? No wonder her mother said that her sister-in-law was sick this time and was instigated by her parents after returning to her parents' home. She was not like before.
The shop has been sold, so she said something nice now.
"Yeah, I got anxious when I heard that. Why didn't Big Brother ask me to speak up? If he had, I would have found a way to help him."
Mo Chenxi said, "Thank you, second sister. I told your eldest brother this. He just wanted to find a way to buy a shop and pay it back to me. If you are willing to help, your eldest brother will definitely be very grateful."
He opened her eyes wide and looked at her mother with her mouth wide open. Is her sister-in-law so eloquent?
Madam Jiang said, "Alright, let's not talk about the past. Who did you sell this shop to? Your second sister wants you to do her a favor and buy some snacks from the shop so she can take them back to her mother-in-law to try."
She was also unhappy. As soon as her daughter arrived, she asked her daughter-in-law to find a way to buy snacks for her mother-in-law, but did not mention giving any to her own mother.
Mo Chenxi was surprised and said, "I don't know who they sold it to. They hired a broker to do it. I didn't even know they were going to open a pastry shop. I thought they were just going to continue making rouge and powder."
Mrs. He said anxiously, "Why don't you send someone to ask the broker? You're the original owner, so the new owner can't even give you this face, right? I've already promised my mother-in-law that I'll definitely bring back a snack. I want the new, soft, steamed cake-like ones called Fortune Cake."
Mo Chenxi said in embarrassment: "Look, my health is not good enough for me to go out. Mother Liao just left. How about this, wait for your eldest brother to come back and ask him about it."
He grumbled, "What time is it when I wait for my eldest brother to come back? Where can I find him after dark? Isn't this embarrassing for me in my husband's family?"
Mo Chenxi pretended to be curious and asked, "Isn't it just a snack shop? If you can't even buy snacks with money, how can the snacks there compare to those from Guihuaxiang? Second sister, why don't you go buy some from Guihuaxiang? Mother loves the snacks from Guihuaxiang the most."
He had never thought of using her own money to buy dim sum. She originally wanted her sister-in-law to pay for it. Now she heard that the dim sum at that restaurant really couldn't be bought with money.
"My sister-in-law said that the new dim sum shop is sold out and needs to be reserved."
Mo Chenxi pretended to be confused and said, "Then make a reservation. Even if your brother can find someone, he can't make one just for someone."
Madam Jiang said from the side, "Since you say it's so delicious, eldest daughter-in-law, please send someone to reserve one for mother."
Mo Chenxi agreed with a smile, she would send someone to make a reservation, but of course it would not be possible.
Still want to treat her as the former Mo, impossible.
She had already told Zhou that even if the He family tried to book it, they would definitely not be able to do so.
In the future, we have to add that He can pay for ordering dim sum, but he cannot owe money.
Mother Liao told her that in the past, He had taken advantage of the rouge and powder a lot, and she always took them for free.
