First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 245 Little Beggar

Those little beggars were peeking at the door of Caidiexuan and were soon noticed by the old soldiers.

"Boss, there are a few little beggars at the door. Do you want to chase them away?" An old soldier named Han Cheng went to Qu Wanning.

Su Jixiang hung a sign at the door of Qu Wanning's account office, with two words on it, "General Office". Originally, Su Jixiang wanted to name Qu Wanning's office "CEO's Office", but later he felt that it was a bit too much. Now it's just a small restaurant and teahouse...

So I just gave him the title of General Manager first, and when he was discovered later, I would upgrade Qu Wanning to the position of President's Office...

"Little beggar?" Qu Wanning was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Forget it, it's not easy for them either. Go to the kitchen and get some cakes for them and let them leave."

"Boss, if you send them off today, they will come again tomorrow, and they will bring more people." Han Cheng said.

He was about thirty years old. All his family members died in the war, and now he was missing a leg. However, he was very tenacious and managed to stand up again by tying a wooden stick to his broken limb.

As he had lost one leg, he could no longer fight or march, so he had to leave the army in disgrace. In the past, he barely made a living by making brooms and baskets.

Wei Ling asked Xie Yingfeng to find him.

Now that I have Su Jixiang, I can be considered to have someone to rely on.

Qu Wanning was stunned when he heard it.

She was also afraid that these little beggars would come every day...but she couldn't bear to just chase them away.

"Let's do this for now." She thought for a moment and said, "If you come again tomorrow, I'll think of another way."

"Yes." Han Cheng turned to leave, but saw Su Jixiang standing behind him. He quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Boss."

"Go and get busy." Su Jixiang was holding a plate with a few pieces of freshly baked bread on it.

She entered the general office and handed the plate to Qu Wanning, "This is a reward for you. You've worked hard these past few days! I baked it in the small kitchen downstairs. Try it, and if it's okay, add it to the takeout."

Su Jixiang originally reserved a takeout spot at the entrance of Caidiexuan just to sell some convenient food.

She thought about it and decided that, given the scarcity of fresh food preservation methods in this era, pastries were the best choice. Even in the wettest summer, freshly baked pastries could be stored for about two days.

"New pastries?" Qu Wanning smiled happily when she saw the bread on the plate, which was a style she had never tried before.

She was really tired now. She had to calculate the costs every day and deal with all the problems in the store, big and small. Since the store opened, she actually came home later than Xie Yingfeng one day. It was only when Xie Yingfeng came to pick her up that she closed the store and left.

She was a little tired, but looking at the account books she had sorted out with her own hands and the surplus of the past few days, she seemed to be living a more fulfilling and happier life than all her previous lives combined.

Even Xie Yingfeng said that she has been smiling more and more recently.

How can I not smile when I make money? And according to the current speed at which Caidiexuan makes money, Qu Wanning feels that he and Su Jixiang will become rich in no time!

The steam pot chicken developed by Su Jixiang can be described as making a fortune.

Qu Wanning took a bite of the bread that Su Jixiang brought. They were small and round, and each one was as cute as a steamed bun. The crust was baked red, and the inside was snow-white. It looked very cute just by picking it up and looking at it.

I took a bite and found the bread was toasted soft and delicious, feeling like cotton in my mouth.

"There's stuffing!" Qu Wanning's eyes lit up. The bread was filled with red bean paste. It wasn't very sweet, but it was extremely delicious with the soft dough!

"Yes, it has stuffing." Su Jixiang said with a smile.

This bread is actually a very common red bean paste bread in modern times, but it is a little smaller than the regular one, making it look cuter.

"Delicious, delicious!" Qu Wanning pointed at the small bread, "This will definitely sell well!"

Su Jixiang wanted to sell this product first because it was the easiest to make and the ingredients were the simplest. She could give it to Hua Rui and help her make it.

"I just heard from Brother Han that there are little beggars outside." Su Jixiang stood by the window of Qu Wanning's office, opened the window a crack and looked out. Sure enough, there were a few little beggars gathered at the door of Caidiexuan, and Han Cheng took some meat buns from the kitchen and distributed them to them.

But Su Jixiang also saw that the little beggars who got the buns were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they squatted in an inconspicuous corner, eating buns while continuing to look at Caidiexuan.

"Isn't it possible that they were sent by someone?" Su Jixiang stood and watched for a while, then frowned and said to Qu Wanning.

Qu Wanning hurried over and looked out through the crack in the window.

"Is someone trying to spy on us?" Qu Wanning also noticed that the little beggars were squatting in the corners on both sides of the street.

Caidiexuan is located in a relatively remote area. Although the road in front of the door is wide, there are not many pedestrians passing by, so the whereabouts of these little beggars cannot be hidden.

"It should be." Su Jixiang said.

"Our business has been so good these days." Qu Wanning said, "I guess someone will want to negotiate for some news."

"Yes. Tell the kitchen staff and the front desk to be careful. We are not afraid of people finding out about anything. We are mainly afraid of poisoning people." Su Jixiang said. "We are in the catering business after all. We are afraid that people will get sick from eating in our house."

"I understand." Qu Wanning's expression tensed when he heard that.

She snorted, "This world is really terrible. Can't you just do something honestly?"

"People are like this. We have to be on guard." Su Jixiang shrugged helplessly, "Thank you for your concern, Manager Qu!"

"I finally understand why you don't want to be the shopkeeper." Qu Wanning raised his hand and pinched Su Jixiang's cheek. "You are really cunning! There are too many things to deal with as a shopkeeper!"

Su Jixiang chuckled and put his arm around Qu Wanning's waist. "Everyone has their own specialty! Don't I only know how to cook?"

"You still dare to say that you only know how to cook?" Qu Wanning glanced at Su Jixiang, "It's not like I haven't seen the pictures you drew when you had nothing to do! Fortunately, you were born as a girl. If you were reincarnated as a boy, I don't think those people would have a chance..."

"You can eat whatever you want, but don't talk nonsense. Let's get to work!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I got it, Boss." Qu Wanning said with a smile.

When Wei Ling returned home at night, he saw Su Jixiang lying on the table and drawing again.

"What are you doing?" Wei Ling changed his clothes and came over to take a look.
