As soon as she came closer, Yu Ahu's whole body froze, and he couldn't even speak clearly, "Of course... of course."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt a little regretful. It seemed that it would be difficult to do what he promised on the vernal equinox.
It was the vernal equinox, but he didn't expect that Wenwen Township was the Tomb of Heroes. Du Yumei didn't even need to say anything. He only needed to hug Yu Ahu, and he would instantly surrender.
——
It was a bright and sunny day when Jiuku Tea House opened. Because this business was a private business owned by the owner of Huating County, it was inconvenient for Shi Chunquin to discuss it with other people in the Chu family, so he had to go to the tea house alone to support her, so he was by her side.
There were many maids, and Lang Hao also brought a group of boys. A group of people arrived at the tea house in a hurry, and it seemed very lively.
Shi Cui arrived at the tea house early. It was Yu Abao who sent her here. The mother and son dressed up specially and stood a little awkwardly at the door of the tea house.
When Shi Chunquin saw this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Why are you two? Didn't my eldest cousin go back last night?"
Shi Cui smiled bitterly and said nothing.
But Yu Abao couldn't help complaining: "Isn't it? It made our family wait for him until late at night, and there was no news at all. It's simply outrageous."
Shi Chunfen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "It's my fault that I didn't speak clearly and forgot to tell him to send a message even if he didn't come back, which made you wait so late for him."
Shi Cui immediately waved her hand, "How can I blame you? It's because he doesn't care about us, and it has nothing to do with you at all."
"Yes." Yu Abao said angrily: "I won't help him this time. I even ignored my parents for the sake of a woman. I even let my mother come to the tea house alone. I'm not afraid of any accidents on the road."
"Okay, Ah Bao." Shi Cui stopped him: "Your elder brother will come later, but don't talk to him like this. As long as he is willing to go home, what does it matter if he is one day early or one day late?"
Hearing this, Yu Abao nodded, "Okay, Mom, I'll just listen to you."
Shi Chunfen interrupted from the side, "Let's go in first and talk about it later. My cousin didn't come so early either."
Shi Cui nodded slightly and looked back at the street in the distance three times a step to make sure there was no sign of Yu Ahu, then entered the teahouse with a face full of disappointment.
All the goods in the tea house have been laid out. They are divided into categories from one to nine. The nine flavors of tea are divided into three qualities: upper, middle and lower. There are both affordable and high-quality teas, ensuring that every customer can be taken care of.
Shi Chunfen brought Shi Cui to He Dong and introduced: "This is my aunt and the future accountant of the tea house. Please take care of me, Shopkeeper He."
He Dong hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands, "As for the eldest young lady, it is my duty to take care of the shop assistants. Besides, I can follow..."
He looked at Shi Cui and paused.
Shi Cui immediately said: "My name is Shi Cui, and my husband's surname is Yu."
He Dong laughed and said, "It is an honor for me to work with Mrs. Yu."
"Where is it?" Shi Cui waved her hand, looking embarrassed.
In order to ease her embarrassment, He Dong quickly brought out a price list and handed it to her hand, "This is the tentative price of the goods currently available in our tea house. You may need to get a price list when you settle the accounts."
Take it with you."
"Hey, okay!" Shi Cui quickly reached out and took it, and her original nervous mood instantly eased a lot.
Seeing that they were getting along well, Shi Chunfen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the other clerks, and asked, "Are the refreshments that will be distributed to the neighbors at the opening ready?"
Everyone nodded quickly, "We have already prepared it. When the time comes, we will set up tables at the four street corners and invite passers-by to taste our refreshments for free."
The tea this time was carefully prepared at the Spring Equinox. Two tablespoons more sugar was added than the ordinary cakes to ensure that the sweetness would make the neighbors sick, so that when they drink Jiu Kuding again, it would not be so difficult to accept its unique bitter taste.
.
"As long as it's ready." Shi Chunquin smiled with satisfaction, completely unaware of how pretty his smile was, which made the waiters dazzled.
Yu Abao noticed their direct gazes and quickly stepped forward to block them, "Why didn't Usagi come today?"
Mentioning this, Shi Chunfen felt a little guilty, "The injury on her head has almost healed, but the scars can still be seen faintly, so I asked her to stay at home to rest so as not to be criticized." In fact, she felt that it was her fault.
Every time I take Yu Atu out, something will happen, so I am no longer willing to let her stay with me.
Yu Abao did not doubt, "That's fine."
While the two were talking, Yu Ahu finally arrived late.
As soon as Shi Cui saw him coming in, she immediately greeted him, "Ahu, you're finally here."
However, as soon as she smiled, her expression froze on the spot because she saw Du Yumei also walking in behind Yu Ahu.
When Shi Chunfen and Yu Abao heard the sound, they turned around and looked ugly. Seeing this scene, their faces became ugly.
Yu Ahu took Du Yumei through the door and went straight to Shi Cui, "Mother."
Shi Cui snorted, ignored them, and turned her head aside.
Yu Ahu scratched his head, his expression a little embarrassed, and then led Du Yumei to Shi Chunquin, explaining: "I was worried about Yumei running the stall alone, so I brought her here with me. She doesn't need wages and is here for free.
Can you help me?"
Shi Chunfen raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't expect that Madam Du would be more difficult to deal with than she thought.
Before meeting Yu Ahu, she was running a stall alone, and she was running it well until now.
While she was sizing up the other person, the other person was also sizing up her.
When the two of them met yesterday, Shi Chunfen had always brought Mu Li with her. Du Yumei had not seen her appearance. But now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she knew that Shi Chunfen had outstanding looks, especially the white-skinned Shengxue, who was simply a match for her.
The difference made her feel sour.
How can there be such a big difference between people?
If she had been half lucky during the spring equinox, she wouldn't be a widow now.
In the flash of lightning between the two, Yu Abao said dissatisfiedly, "Do you think my cousin is running a charity here and that all kinds of cats and dogs can be stuffed here?"
Yu Ahu's expression changed, and he stretched out his hand to grab Yu Abao's collar, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who can tell you whether you are older or younger?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Yu Abao pushed him away and said angrily: "Yesterday you promised to go home but didn't come back, causing your parents to wait for you at home all night, and this morning you asked your mother to come alone.
Tea house, if anything happens to her, I would like to ask you, as a son, if you have a clear conscience and go there?!"
Hearing his accusation, Yu Ahu and Du Yumei were startled at the same time.
Yu Ahu said in shame: "I'm sorry, Abao, I didn't mean to break my promise. I didn't know you would wait for me for so long."
