Chapter 50 Emotions are not affected by feelings

"Miss Taohua, do you still have so little cake left?"

Gu Taohua was feeling sad, but when she saw someone coming to buy pastries, she concealed her sad mood, smiled and greeted them.

"Yes, this little bit was sold out very quickly, luckily you came at the right time. There are only these left, if you want them all, I'll give you a lower price." Gu Taohua said.

"Okay. By the way, I want to ask, will chestnut crisps, date paste crisps, coconut crisps and other things be available tomorrow?" the other party asked.

"Yes, yes, brother, if you want to eat, come early tomorrow."

Gu Taohua quickly wrapped the cakes, took the money, and asked again, "Brother, how do you know my name is Taohua?"

The other party said, "Now the whole Yanguan Town has spread that Taohua Dessert's pastries are delicious. I saw that you are the only young girl at your stall, so I guessed that your name must be Taohua."

Originally, the elder brother was quite disappointed when he saw Taohua's fat body. He imagined Taohua to be a beautiful woman with a slender and delicate figure, as delicate and pink as a peach blossom.

However, Taohua's smiling face and hearty smile made him feel good about her immediately. He felt that the girl's smile was bright like spring, and the pastries were really delicious, which made him feel that his trip was not in vain.

Gu Taohua smiled. She was indeed famous in the whole town.

Now everyone in town knows her name is Taohua.

"Then brother, remember to come early tomorrow." Gu Taohua looked excited.

"Okay, I'll remember Miss Peach Blossom." The other person had already walked a few steps away, and turned back with a smile, waving a fan.

Tong Huaqiong witnessed the whole process with a smile on her face.

Yes, Gu Taohua was indeed more sensible than she expected. It was very rare for someone so young to be unaffected by emotions.

No wonder she is so fat, it turns out that she is fat because she is happy.

If Tong Da Jiao had taken care of her in her previous life, she would not have ended up with Fan Tong and been controlled by Fan Tong, ending up being burned to death.

"Mom, we've sold out of cakes again today."

Gu Taohua looked at the empty stall, and her tone became light as she swept away the depression caused by the argument between Fan Tong and her mother.

"Let's count how much money we made today." Tong Huaqiong was also very happy.

"Twenty-seven taels of silver. Mother, we made a full twenty-seven taels of silver this time."

Gu Taohua's hands were shaking with excitement as she counted the money.

I counted it twice to avoid making a mistake.

"Mom, that's right, it's really twenty-seven taels." Gu Taohua raised her eyes and looked at Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong patted the thirty taels he had earned from Mr. Huang in the morning and said, "Adding the deposit from Mr. Huang this morning, the total is fifty-seven taels."

Gu Taohua was so happy that she almost fainted.

Fifty-seven taels of silver!

Gu Taohua had never seen so much silver before, and she was responsible for a large part of the money.

At this time, Gu Taohua wanted to go back to Qinghewan Village to show off her money and make other girls envious.

It’s not that other girls in the village don’t make money, but the way they make money is basically by embroidering handkerchiefs and making laces to sell to embroidery workshops in the town. They can earn a dozen cents at most at a time, and can only make a few taels of silver in a year.

Many people laughed at her behind her back, saying that she couldn't even hold a needle and could only eat and sleep.

Now she has finally gotten her revenge. She may not be able to hold a needle, but that doesn't stop her from making a lot of money.

"Mom, I'll keep this money for you."

Gu Taohua handed the silver to Tong Huaqiong, who took out a tael of silver and handed it to Gu Taohua, saying, "This is your pocket money, buy whatever you want."

Gu Taohua's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Really? Mom can really let me get the money myself?"

No matter how much her mother loved her, she never gave her pocket money, because she was a girl and didn't need money and the family didn't lack her for food and drink.

Even when I went shopping in town, my two brothers would accompany me, and my brother would hold the money.

Even though her two brothers would pay without saying a word when she bought something, it was still not as comfortable as holding the money herself.

"Not only this time, I will give you pocket money every month in the future." Tong Huaqiong said.

Gu Taohua became even happier after hearing this. If she had pocket money every month, she could save it to buy jewelry, rouge and powder, and dress up beautifully.

Dress up like the maid I saw at Mr. Huang's house today.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Let's go eat." Gu Taohua covered her rumbling stomach and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, let's go eat." Tong Huaqiong said.

At noon, the mother and daughter had a quick meal with two steamed buns they brought from home.

I didn't feel anything when I was standing there soliciting customers, but now that I've relaxed, I feel really hungry, really hungry.

Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua carefully packed up their stall and went to a nearby snack street to eat wontons.

Gu Taohua only ordered two bowls, one for her and one for Tong Huaqiong, and she didn't order anything else. Tong Huaqiong was a little surprised.

Normally, four bowls of wontons are not enough for Gu Taohua to eat.

"Mom, I want to lose weight. The same pink dress looks so beautiful on the maid in Mr. Huang's family, but I look like a quilt wrapped around a stone pier when I wear it." Gu Taohua said as she stuffed a wonton into her mouth.

Besides, when she saw Fan Tong today, she found that she was two times bigger than him, which made her more determined to lose weight.

Tong Huaqiong strongly supports Gu Taohua's decision to lose weight. It is normal for a young girl to want to be beautiful. Even for the sake of health, Gu Taohua should lose some weight.

As soon as Tong Huaqiong picked up her chopsticks, Gu Taohua had already finished the bowl in front of her. After finishing, she looked at Tong Huaqiong's bowl eagerly.

"Here you go." Tong Huaqiong sighed and waved for another bowl.

"Mom, I'll eat it then." Gu Taohua picked up the chopsticks again.

One second you were confident that you would lose weight, but the next second you broke down.

However, compared to before, Gu Taohua has made progress. She could eat four bowls before, but now she only eats two bowls.

After filling her stomach, Tong Huaqiong went shopping like last time.

I bought sugar, flour, various dried fruits, red dates, eggs and other baking ingredients. I also bought five pounds of mutton, three roast chickens and two fish, preparing to have a big meal in the evening.

The mother and daughter returned with a full load. They came to where Uncle Xu parked his car and put the things in the car.

The car was already half full, and Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua climbed in and sat at the side.

Grandpa Xu went to buy pickles for his family, so everyone sat in the car chatting and laughing, waiting for Grandpa Xu to come back and leave when the car was full.

"Aunt Tong, is Taohua Dessert the pastry stall run by you and Taohua? It's spread all over the town that there's a Taohua Dessert whose pastries are both beautiful and delicious. I think Taohua Dessert should be named after Taohua." Liu Qiaoyun asked with a smile.

Tong Huaqiong nodded and smiled: "Yes, Peach Blossom Dessert is indeed ours."

"Looking at how happy Aunt Tong is, I guess business is good. They must be sold out, right?" Liu Qiaoyun asked enviously.

"Yes, they are sold out." Tong Huaqiong did not hide it at all.

"I'll buy some to try next time. My colleague bought your date cake and said it tastes better than the one from Sushiyuan." Liu Qiaoyun said.

Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "You'll know when you try it next time."

They neither admit that their pastries are better than those from Sushiyuan, nor deny it. The main point is the conceptual ambiguity.

But the more this happens, the more curious it becomes.

Sure enough, the other people in the car looked at Tong Huaqiong with surprise.

Widow Tong actually has such a good skill, it must be exaggerated.

Sushiyuan is the number one pastry shop in Yanguan Town.

But when I think of the fragrance wafting through the village every night these days, I begin to believe in Tong Huaqiong's craftsmanship again.

Tong Huaqiong sat steadily. Instead of being curious about whether her pastries were delicious, she might as well buy some to try. She didn't mind giving her a discount because they were from the same village.

"Mom, isn't that my second and third brother?" Gu Taohua said, pointing towards the street.

Tong Huaqiong followed the direction of Gu Taohua's finger and saw Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe pulling a flatbed cart moving through the crowd.

The little boar, with its four hooves tied up, lay obediently on the flatbed cart. He looked softer and more obedient than during the day. It was estimated that he had become a eunuch.
