Mrs. Song refused to let her go, and Qiu Yue did not dare to take the initiative to go to General Song.
Seeing that Mrs. Song really couldn't sleep, she got up and took the pastry box and said, "Madam, would you like to have something to eat? This rose pastry was bought by the young master and is a new product from the pastry shop."
As soon as the box was opened, Mrs. Song smelled a sweet fragrance. Oddly enough, Mrs. Song's tired and irritable mood due to tossing and turning in bed and unable to sleep was instantly wiped away when she smelled the sweet aroma coming out of the pastry box.
She smiled kindly and said, "Mu Ci, this kid has a filial heart. Bring it over and let me have a taste."
Without Mrs. Song's need to say anything, Qiuyue had already set up the small table on the bed, and placed the cakes, white fungus soup, etc. on it one by one.
Mrs. Song took a bite of the pastry, then drank a mouthful of white fungus soup, and praised: "This rose pastry is delicious, the outer skin is crispy and fragrant, and the rose filling is soft and fragrant. This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious pastry.
" Mrs. Song's eyebrows widened, and Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard that these rose cakes are hard to snatch. Not only are they expensive to buy, a small box costs ten taels of silver. The owner of the pastry shop also restricts sales. Every day They only sold ten boxes, and they were gone when I got there late. The young master sent many people out, and they only grabbed three or four boxes."
Mrs. Song was shocked when she heard that this small box of pastries actually cost ten taels of silver. Then she asked curiously: "There are still people who don't even make money?"
Thinking about the news she heard recently, Qiu Yue was a little angry, "No, I heard that the boss was very proud. At that time, Butler Song invited her to the house. She came here to work as a cook, not only came to the door in person, but also offered a high price of thousands of taels of silver. In the end, she even used the name of our commander-in-chief, but she was not moved!"
Mrs. Song was originally eating happily, but you can tell After hearing Qiuyue's words, the expression on his face faded.
Even her son's face was not easy to deal with. It seemed that the boss was really arrogant.
Qiuyue said: "It would be great if the owner would be willing to work as a cook at home, so that the old lady can eat any pastries she wants at any time. I heard that the pastry shop will be closed for a few days and will not open until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year! "
It's just a bite of pastry, don't eat it!" Mrs. Song said so, but she honestly ate all the remaining rose cakes on the plate.
After eating a box of rose cakes and a small bowl of white fungus soup, Qiuyue was originally worried that the old lady had eaten too much at night, but she didn't expect that the old lady Song was fine at all.
Even when I lay down this time, I no longer suffered from insomnia. I just closed my eyes for a while and fell asleep.
Qiuyue was pleasantly surprised, she didn't expect the rose cakes from the pastry shop to have such an effect.
If you can have this rose cake every day, even if you don't buy scented candles, the old lady's insomnia will be relieved.
He, the person who serves her closely, can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Today is the Chinese New Year. According to the custom of previous years, today we have to go to the Lu family ancestral temple to offer sacrifices.
However, the Lu family is now in exile, and many of the previous customs are no longer convenient to abide by.
Mrs. Su and Mrs. Lu obviously thought of the Lu family's previous days in the capital, and were a little depressed.
Jiang Tangtang also missed modern life and modern friends and relatives, but he knew that he couldn't go back if he missed her, so he simply packed up and went to the kitchen.
There's no problem that a good meal can't solve.
If one meal doesn't solve the problem, then have another meal.
Now that the family is not short of money, Jiang Tangtang is willing to spend it. There are all kinds of rice and food at home.
New Year's Eve dinner is about auspiciousness. Jiang Tangtang took a look at the ingredients and quickly made a plan, directing Zhang Lu and others to get busy.
In the evening, the table is filled with fresh and auspicious dishes.
Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, the melancholy homesickness of Mrs. Su and Madam Lu was instantly forgotten.
After a lively New Year's Eve dinner, everyone gathered together to watch the New Year's Eve.
Sitting there with nothing to do, Mrs. Su chatted with Jiang Tangtang about things in the shop, "The business in the shop is good, I think we can buy a few more people after the new year! Don't tire yourself out!"
Jiang Tangtang agreed with this point, not only If you want to buy people, you also need to buy a shop. So Jiang Tangtang took the opportunity to talk about her plan to open another shop.
Su Shi was naturally happy to hear this.
If my daughter-in-law is good at cooking, she will definitely make money if she opens a restaurant. The only worry is that no one else in Jiang Tangtang's family can help Jiang Tangtang, because she is afraid that she will be exhausted.
She repeatedly told her to leave those chores to her and Lu Shili, and she would just teach the cook her skills.
Jiang Tangtang also had this plan, so he directly handed over the purchase of the second shop to Lu Shili.
Several people discussed things in the shop, and time passed quickly. Seeing that dinner time had passed, Su and others all went back to their rooms to rest.
Just as Jiang Tangtang was about to extinguish the fire in the charcoal basin, Lu Shiyan came back with a lot of wind and frost.
The clothes on his body were in tatters and there were blood stains oozing from them.
Jiang Tangtang was startled and said quickly: "I'm going to call Doctor Xue!"
Lu Shiyan grabbed her wrist, "Don't disturb them, it's just a skin injury! Just apply some medicinal powder and it'll be fine!"
His voice sounded a little bit Dumb, there are thick blue shadows under the eyes, and I don't know how long it has been since I had a good rest.
While Jiang Tangtang was observing whether he was trying to be brave, he heard him say again: "Is there anything to eat at home?"
Jiang Tangtang felt inexplicably weak, "Go to the kitchen and I will heat up food for you later. I will go back to the room to get medicine first. "
Lu Shiyan let go of her hand, "Then I'll wait for you."
Jiang Tangtang went back to the room to get the powder, and found some clean clothes. When he carried her to the kitchen, he had already fallen asleep leaning on the chair.
Jiang Tangtang walked over carefully, and just as he was hesitating whether to wake him up, Lu Shiyan's long black eyelashes trembled, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes are dark, and when he looks at people seriously, they seem to have a natural attraction, as if they want to suck people in.
Jiang Tangtang's heartbeat accelerated, she lowered her eyelashes slightly, avoided looking at him and said, "I thought you were asleep!"
Lu Shiyan sat up straight and reached for the medicine in her hand: "Just close your eyes and rest. For a while."
In fact, he did fall asleep, but he was alert and woke up quickly when he heard the noise.
Jiang Tangtang avoided his hand and said, "Let me apply medicine for you! You have to clean the wound first."
