Chapter 202 Our Shop 2
"Sister Cheng, I want another bowl of mashed potatoes." Qi Xing handed over the bowl, and Cheng Wenwen filled it for him from the pot in front of her.
The little girl Qi Qi also said, "I want a bowl, a bowl, a bowl."
Cheng Wenwen looked at the little girl's round belly and said with a smile, "You can't eat any more."
"But I still want to eat from the bowl. Just a little bit more." Qi Qi begged.
Cheng Wenwen had no choice but to add another spoonful of milk to Qi Qi's spoon.
Qi Shuo had also finished eating, and the bottom of his bowl was empty. Cheng Wenwen wanted to ask him if he wanted more, but Qi Shuo shook his head and motioned for her to sit down: "Continue eating, and take the bowl yourself."
Qi Shuo stood up and lifted the pot in front of Cheng Wenwen to himself.
Qi Shuo was born tall and strong. Even if he didn't go to the army every day, he would still train on his own. Naturally, he ate a lot. He added several large spoonfuls of food before he stopped.
Yao Rongen couldn't sit still anymore when he saw this. There were only mashed potatoes and baked potatoes left. If he didn't eat them now, the three Qi family members would eat them all. So he quickly got up to take the pot in front of Qi Shuo, and then kept adding food to his own bowl. After that, he asked Yao Miaoer, "Would you like to add some too?"
"Okay, I'll add some." Yao Miaoer handed the bowl over.
After Yao Rongen finished filling Yao Miaoer's glass, he went to fill Cheng Wenwen's glass: "Cousin, you should add some too."
Cheng Wenwen said, "I can't eat anymore, cousin."
"Hey, add a little more. Look how thin you are. Eat more, eat more." Yao Rongen scraped the pot clean and then was satisfied.
However, Cheng Wenwen really couldn't eat any more. Potatoes take up a lot of space in the stomach and she had eaten a lot before. Looking at the big bowl of mashed potatoes, she really had no appetite, so she didn't move.
Qi Shuo finished the food in his bowl in just a few bites and wanted to add more, but the pot had already been scraped clean by Yao Rongen. Yao Rongen was quite satisfied when he saw Qi Shuo's look.
"Wenwen, do you want to eat more?" Qi Shuo turned and looked at Cheng Wenwen's bowl.
Cheng Wenwen immediately shook her head and said, "I won't eat the bowl anymore."
"Then let me eat it." Qi Shuo said without any concern.
“But we’ve already eaten these bowls.” Cheng Wenwen said.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not picky!"
"OK then!"
No one who was eating minded, and Cheng Wenwen naturally didn't mind either, so she handed over her bowl.
Afterwards, Qi Shuo lowered his head and started eating in silence.
Yao Rongen was watching from the side, feeling really uncomfortable, and even Qi Shuo was the winner! Eating from his cousin's bowl.
Yao Rongen was a little confused. He peeled a baked potato and took a bite.
In this way, several people finished eating a large table of potatoes.
Cheng Wenwen was just satisfying her craving and didn't eat too much. The others had never eaten potatoes before, so they ate happily. They kept eating even when they were full, so they had to lie down at home and recuperate for the whole afternoon.
Cheng Wenwen also stayed in the mansion.
Qi Shuo discussed some shop matters with her.
"Your Cheng's Dessert Shop is already ready. When are you going to take a look?" Qi Shuo asked her.
Cheng Wenwen said: "We can go in the afternoon, but are you free, General? If not, I can go by myself..."
"I'm free!" Qi Shuo interrupted her.
Cheng Wenwen was startled by the anxious tone and couldn't help but look up at him. His eyes were calm and there was nothing unusual.
Cheng Wenwen didn't want to be sentimental anymore, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll pack up for a while and go out to call the general later."
Qi Shuo nodded: "Okay!"
Cheng Wenwen packed up for a while and went out. Song Jiang was waiting for her outside the courtyard gate.
"Miss Cheng, the general is already waiting for you outside the mansion!" Song Jiang said when he saw her.
Cheng Wenwen nodded and went out of the house.
Qi Shuo was indeed outside the mansion, and the carriage was already waiting! He opened the carriage door and reached out to pull her up.
After all, Cheng Wenwen was aware of the gender of the couple, so she didn't extend her hand and got on the carriage by herself. Qi Shuo couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he saw what she couldn't see.
After the two of them sat down, the coachman started the carriage moving.
Sitting alone facing each other in the carriage, the atmosphere was indeed a bit strange.
Qi Shuo spoke first and asked her, "How have you been these past few months? Have you encountered any difficulties in your business?"
Cheng Wenwen heard his question, looked up at him, and then replied: "Very good, business is fine, I have handed over all the matters in Beijing to Sister Gao, and I feel much more relieved when Sister Gao handles it."
"That's good." Qi Shuo said.
After asking, the two fell silent again.
Qi Shuo wanted to break the silence, so he asked him again: "How long do you plan to stay in Shanzhou?"
Cheng Wenwen heard this direct question and answered truthfully: "It depends on the situation. After all, there is nothing to do now, so it's okay to stay a few days longer or shorter."
Qi Shuo suddenly said: "Then stay a few more days!"
"what?"
"I mean, you should stay for a few more days and have more fun in Shanzhou. Your two cousins must have never been to Shanzhou, so you can stay for a few more days." Qi Shuo explained quickly.
"Oh! So that's it!" Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "I'll tell them. If they want to stay longer, that's fine."
Qi Shuo nodded.
As people were chatting in groups of three or four, the carriage slowly drove to Cheng's Dessert Shop.
When Cheng Wenwen got off the bus, she saw a very bright sign.
Qi Shuo took out the key and opened the store. The store was very spacious and had seats. There were private rooms on the second floor with good views. The location and layout were both excellent.
Cheng Wenwen was very satisfied and said, "This store is great! But for a store so central, I'm afraid it must cost a lot, right?"
The people of Shanzhou are not as willing to spend money as the people of the capital, so after the shop opens, the price of desserts cannot be too high.
Qi Shuo said: "This is my private property, you don't have to worry about it. Didn't we agree before that I will pay and you will provide the formula?"
Cheng Wenwen nodded, "Okay, then I wish us a great opening and more prosperity in the future."
Qi Shuo smiled and said, "Okay!"
After that, Qi Shuo continued, "I heard that you opened a new shop in the capital. One has high-end decoration and the other is affordable. I think our Shanzhou can do the same, so I also chose a small shop. Do you want to take a look together?"
Cheng Wenwen nodded when she heard it: "Okay! Since we are all out, we can watch it together."
The two of them went to another shop together. This shop was close to a busy market where people often visited. Although the shop was small, it had all the necessary facilities and was clean and hygienic.
Cheng Wenwen thought it was pretty good, so she said, "You put in a lot of effort and worked hard."
"Since we opened this shop together, I won't have to work hard." Qi Shuo smiled, and then said, "It's just that you may need to plan the opening arrangements. If there is anything you can't solve, you can ask Song Jiang to help you."
Song Jiang immediately stood up, looking like he was waiting to be ordered.
Cheng Wenwen nodded: "I will."
