Chapter 404 Whose Secret Is It?

Chapter 404 Whose Secret Is It?

"Mom, I will earn you a title in the future. Don't worry, your future life will definitely be more glorious than yours."

Gu Ruinian was tearing the chicken into pieces while making big promises to Jia.

Jia was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.

After all, the second son is the most caring.

Gu Ruinian smiled in Jia's tearful eyes.

The mother in this life is just like the mother in the previous life, hardworking and always putting her son first.

There is no need to show actual filial piety, you can just draw big promises and you will be able to control it firmly.

......

The next day, Gu Ruinian went to town without having breakfast.

What kind of breakfast is this? It's just bland. He wants to go to town to eat some big meat buns.

It was not until before departure that he knew that Gu Honglian was going to the town with him.

He was very unhappy. When Jia told him that Mr. Gu gave Gu Honglian one or two taels of silver so that the two of them could have a meal in the town, he changed his expression and called Gu Honglian "little aunt".

Lian Gu Honglian spent a long time dressing in front of the mirror and waiting calmly.

Gu Ruinian and Gu Honglian were both pampered people and would never walk to the town. They went to the village entrance and got on Uncle Xu's ox cart to the town.

When the ox cart set out, it met Tong Huaqiong's horse carriage.

The pony in Tong Huaqiong's family is already big enough to pull a carriage. Every day Su Chengmin drives Gu Taohua and Liu Yue'e to town and brings them back in the evening.

Tong Huaqiong is also on the carriage today. She is going to carry out her weekly guidance work at Taohua Dessert.

When the people in Uncle Xu's carriage saw Tong Huaqiong's carriage, they shouted to Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong lifted the curtain of the carriage and responded with a smile.

"Sister-in-law."

Gu Honglian looked at Tong Huaqiong pitifully. She wanted to ride in a carriage.

She didn't want to squeeze in the car with the villagers at all. She disliked their smell.

"Honglian is going to town." Tong Huaqiong greeted warmly.

Gu Honglian was delighted that her sister-in-law treated her well.

"Sister-in-law, this ox cart is too crowded. I want to take a horse carriage." Gu Honglian said coquettishly.

Like Gu Honglian, Gu Ruinian hoped that Tong Huaqiong would agree, and he also didn't want to ride in a ox cart.

How could he, a top student, squeeze into the same car with these rough guys in the village?

Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "If you hadn't told me yesterday, the carriage would be so full of stuff that there's no room for anyone. Tell me earlier next time and I'll save a seat for you. You can ride the oxcart today. Don't worry, Old Xu is a very good driver and you won't get dizzy."

Tong Huaqiong closed the carriage curtain after saying this.

Su Chengmin shouted, and the carriage sped away into a cloud of dust.

Being rejected in front of everyone, Gu Honglian's eyes turned red with embarrassment.

The villagers in the carriage looked at each other in confusion.

Everyone in Qinghe Bay knows that Tong Dajiao is very sincere to her sister-in-law, so why is her attitude towards her now completely different from before?

Gu Ruinian clenched his fists, feeling secretly resentful.

Don't look down on the young man because he is poor. When he achieves success in the future, he will make his aunt's entire family kneel at his feet and beg him.

Tong Huaqiong and others came to Taohua Dessert.

"Your aunt and Gu Ruinian will come to the store soon, you can handle it." Tong Huaqiong said to Liu Yue'e.

Liu Yue'e said, "Don't worry, mother. I will treat them the same way I treat other customers."

Gu Ruinian and Gu Honglian finally arrived in the town.

"Aunt, I haven't had breakfast yet. Let's go have breakfast first." Gu Ruinian said.

Gu Honglian had the same idea.

The two hit it off immediately and went to a bun shop, where they ordered two baskets of large meat buns, four fried dough sticks and two large bowls of egg soup.

The hot buns came up and the two of them started to eat them voraciously.

When he first came into this world, Gu Ruinian didn't eat pork, and he thought meat buns were the ultimate delicacy.

So delicious!

Two baskets of buns were not enough, so I ordered another one.

After eating and drinking, Gu Ruinian waited for Gu Honglian to pay the bill, but Gu Honglian asked him to pay.

"Aunt, my money is used to buy books." Gu Ruinian said.

He had thought it all out. He would find an excuse to get rid of his aunt at noon and go to Fenglelou, the best restaurant in town, for a big meal.

As for buying books?

Anyway, his family doesn’t read the books he buys.

Gu Honglian said, "Can you spend one or two taels of silver to buy books? Pay first, and I'll treat you to a better meal at the restaurant at noon."

Gu Ruinian had no choice but to pay the money.

Then he asked the boss about the location of Peach Blossom Dessert, and the two of them walked towards Peach Blossom Dessert together.

When we came not far from Taohua Dessert, we could smell the fragrance of freshly baked cakes and saw many people queuing up.

Liu Yue'e and Gu Xiaocao from the village were enthusiastically attracting customers by offering food tastings.

"My goodness, why are there so many people in my sister-in-law's shop? Even when my second brother's shop was not losing money, there weren't so many people. How much money did they make in a day?" Gu Honglian smacked her lips and then said unhappily, "My sister-in-law is so stingy that she doesn't even tell me to spend the money she makes."

As he spoke, he angrily came to the Taohua Dessert Shop.

Gu Ruinian was a little excited. He wanted to see what secrets were hidden in his aunt's Peach Blossom Dessert Shop.

Liu Yue'e spotted Gu Honglian and Gu Ruinian with her sharp eyes, and rushed to them and said warmly: "Aunt and brother Ruinian are here, guests are welcome, please come in."

Gu Honglian squinted at Liu Yue'e and said, "Dashu wife, please bring me some cakes."

Liu Yue'e took a piece of cake from the plate in her hand and handed it to Gu Honglian without changing her expression, saying, "This is a free sample. Auntie, try it and see if it tastes good."

"Stingy guy." Gu Honglian said angrily.

Gu Honglian went straight into the Taohua Dessert Shop, and Gu Ruinian followed.

The two were stunned as soon as they walked into the store.

Gu Honglian was completely stunned by the dazzling array of pastries and the spacious and bright interior.

My sister-in-law is really capable. She actually opened such a big shop.

Gu Ruinian was shocked. Many of the cakes displayed in this shop were what he had seen in later life. There was also a row of birthday cake models on the counter that were exactly the same as those in later life.

So whose idea was this?

Gu Jingzhe pointed at the birthday cake model and asked Liu Yue'e: "Sister Yue'e, what is that?"

Liu Yue'e said, "Birthday cake, what's the matter? You want to order one for your birthday? But we agreed that we have to order it two days in advance."

Gu Ruinian did not give a direct answer, but pointed to the various categories of pastries and asked Liu Yue'e.

The name Tong Huaqiong was changed, but Gu Ruinian was not sure whether the pastry ingredients, such as cream, were available in this era. Anyway, it was the first time he saw them since he traveled to this world.

So the question is, if Gu Jingzhe or other people in my aunt's family are time travelers, how did Naiyou and the others invent it?

Gu Ruinian was a little panicked, because he knew nothing about the pesticides that promoted the corn harvest.

"Sister Yue'e, who came up with these pastry recipes?" Gu Ruinian asked.

"Why are you asking this? Don't you know that our formulas are kept secret?" Liu Yue'e answered the question irrelevantly.

Gu Ruinian did not give up and continued to ask: "Then...what's on the birthday cake?"

Liu Yue'e said, "Cream."

Gu Ruinian asked: "Where did you buy this cream?"

Liu Yue'e said dissatisfiedly: "Ruinian, you are Dashu's cousin. After all, we are all family. But even if we are family, you can't ask me about the secrets of the shop. What's the matter, you also want to open a pastry shop."

Gu Ruinian’s head was buzzing.

Cream is the secret of peach blossom dessert, so who brought this secret?

Is it Gu Jingzhe?
