Jiang Ling never imagined that their mediocre family cake shop, which only makes enough money to eat and eat, would have such a prosperous day, and new products and discounts would drive other products in the store.
Ji Yang ordered a batch of packaging boxes from the Internet. There are various styles, even if it is just a puff, it has exquisite packaging.
A box doesn't cost 20 cents, it's no longer ugly white plastic, and the price of pastries is so cheap that many young people also come in to sell them.
Affordable and good-looking, the sales volume is not to mention great, and the small cake shop can still be crowded with people queuing up to check out during peak hours.
Ji Yang's latest wooden stick puffs can sell hundreds of puffs a day, and they didn't continue selling yesterday because they were sold out. Jiang Ling couldn't be too busy when there were too many people.
Especially at night, once there are many people in this store, the mentality of following the crowd will make people go in, thinking that the taste must be very good, and the price is so cheap and the packaging is beautiful, so buy it.
Ji Yang can't make pastries at night, so he has to come out to help sell them.
Ji Sibei, who used to sit at the table watching her parents, was also driven upstairs. There were too many people, and Jiang Ling had to close the door to prevent anyone from going up.
There is no way, I can't take care of it when I am busy, I have no eyes to see, and I am afraid that the child will be lost.
If it sells well, it will naturally bring more money. Ji Yang didn't ask her to take the money, and someone delivered the ingredients. Jiang Ling paid the bill directly. That night, she checked her online account before going to bed.
A total of seven thousand three.
That is to say, excluding the ingredients, they earn 7300 yuan a week, which is money they could not earn a month before.
Jiang Ling's chest rose and fell, and she was a little excited.
But she also knew very well that most of the money was due to Ji Yang. He got up very early every day to make all kinds of pastries, and he didn't rest for a while except for eating and resting.
He was so hardworking before, so she didn't suspect anything, but the change was a little too fast, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
The night before, she yelled for her to leave, and brought her daughter to leave together. The next day, she got up and made cakes without any complaints, as if those things had never happened.
"Mom, why don't you sleep with Dad? You used to sleep with Dad." Ji Sibei was wearing a pink nightgown, with her soft and soft body lying on top of her.
Jiang Ling hugged her daughter and didn't know how to answer this topic, so she could only say, "Are you still awake? Mom will spank you if you won't wake up tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is Saturday, but I'll get up tomorrow too." Ji Sibei buried her head in front of her chest, rubbed against her, shook her head coquettishly, and stretched out her arms to hug her mother.
These days, Dad will make delicious cakes for her. Mom didn't quarrel with Dad. They love her very much, so her ability to act like a baby is back.
"Also, don't eat so many puffs tomorrow, you've eaten too much these days." Speaking of which, Jiang Ling was worried, Ji Sibei ate secretly in the back kitchen, she didn't even know how much she ate.
"Then don't eat it." Ji Sibei agreed very readily.
Dad said today that he will not make puffs for her tomorrow, but will eat new cakes, more delicious cakes.
"You promised so readily? What did your father tell you?" Jiang Ling still doesn't understand her? Can the little greedy cat agree so quickly
"No." Ji Sibei drew her mouth angrily, and dragged her voice, "Papa also said that Beibei would get fat if she ate too many puffs, so you have to listen to your mother."
Hearing this, Jiang Ling's heart skipped a beat. If she had heard it before, she would have felt that the family was in harmony. Now that she heard it, she couldn't help but wonder what Ji Yang's purpose was.
After going through those days, Ji Yang is no longer the him she knew before, and she doesn't even want to recall his drunken and fierce appearance.
"I miss Dad so much, can Beibei go to sleep with Dad? Dad is alone." Ji Sibei looked towards the door.
"No, Beibei is a big girl, she wants to sleep alone." Jiang Ling shook her head and refused.
"Why?" Ji Sibei had doubts in her eyes.
"Father is father, and Beibei is a girl. When I grow up, I can't sleep with my father. Didn't my mother say that? When Beibei takes a bath, the door must be closed. Only mother can help you take a bath. You must protect yourself .”
Ji Sibei didn't understand what she heard, but she still remembered what her mother said to her, and nodded, "Beibei will take good care of herself."
"Go to bed, it's getting late."
"Well, good night, mom." She leaned over and kissed Jiang Ling, and then said, "Beibei only kisses mom and dad, not other little boys."
Jiang Ling patted her head, "Yes."
They were asleep, and the light on the other side was still on. Ji Yang had made too many pastries these days, and his hands were still a little sore, so he couldn't sleep.
"Buzzing."
The phone was ringing again, and he saw that it was Lu Jiao again, this lingering woman, Ji Yang didn't move, pretending he didn't see it.
the other end.
At the food stall on the side of the road, several men and women gathered around a table, which was filled with beer and barbecue.
"Ji Yang hasn't been here for a long time." One of the women looked at Lu Jiao, touched her with her elbow, and teased, "What's the matter? You can't do it recently."
Lu Jiao was sending a message to Ji Yang, but she didn't reply again. After so many days, her patience was almost exhausted.
With so many people watching, she couldn't lose face, drank a glass of beer, "he's busy in the shop recently."
Men and women clinked glasses of wine and talked wantonly. Many of them were married and some were divorced.
Both men and women can let go, and feel that they have a true temperament. Anyway, there is nothing to lose. Boys pay for eating, drinking and having fun. As long as they are responsible for playing, it doesn't matter if they are eaten tofu.
"What can Ji Yang be busy with? That kid borrowed money from me the other day, and the store's lease expired, so he couldn't pay the money." The speaker wore a gold chain around his neck and a vest, with dragon and tiger tattoos on both of his exposed arms. .
"Brother Long, isn't it? Isn't Ji Yang very forthright? He was the one who settled the debt some time ago." The short-haired woman looked surprised, and turned her head to look at Lu Jiao again.
She thought she caught a small boss, they were all mixed together, most of them were the same thing, at least in this respect, the three views were surprisingly consistent.
To seduce a married man? Playing with men on multiple boats
Isn't that strength? As long as you don't get caught and don't make trouble, you still have money to get, and people give out red envelopes and gifts on festivals, can you still live in a good way
Is there something wrong
"Impossible?" Lu Jiao didn't believe it, "He's been busy in the store these days, and his store is very popular now, and everyone is queuing up to buy it, and the profit is huge."
"The one on Chengxi Road?" Another tall and thin man said.
"That's right, that kind of thing makes a lot of profit, more than half. I went to see it the other day, and it made hundreds of dollars a day anyway." Lu Jiao continued to explain that Ji Yang was not a poor man, she would have face if he was rich.
"No, he said he wanted to borrow money to pay the rent, but he didn't ask me to borrow it. He has worked hard to make money to pay the rent recently?" Brother Long touched his bald head and said hesitantly.
He thought that the other party had become a pauper and wanted to borrow money from him, so he didn't bother to care.
"It should be. Some time ago, I played every day. I made money by making pastries seriously. At any rate, it was a facade." Lu Jiao now feels that Ji Yang's shop is very profitable, and Jiang Ling just needs to sit and collect the money. Days are also going well.
"Then ask him to come out to play when you have time." Brother Long said to her.
"Wait until he's free." Lu Jiao's originally depressed and skeptical mood subsided. Ji Yang should be busy earning rent. He has a craft anyway, and as long as he works hard, he can make money, which is not bad.
He will come back to her again when he is done with work, but for his money's sake, she endured it.
"By the way, did Ji Yang give you the perfume and lipstick that Ji Yang asked his friend to bring you last time? I wanted it for a long time, but no one gave it to you." The short-haired woman came over again and asked in a low voice, with envy in her words .
"Not yet, it should be soon. I'll give it a try when the time comes." Lu Jiao also showed a smile, a little complacent. It's a small luxury, and few people in small places will buy it.
"Okay, then I will be in your light."
"They're all sisters, maybe next time I'll be in your favor too, how is it with the KTV boss last time?"
"Oh, he drove here to pick me up in the middle of the night."
…
the next day.
When the sky was foggy, Ji Yang was already busy in the back kitchen. Just as he prepared the ingredients, Jiang Ling also came in. He was taken aback, "Don't you buy soy milk on weekends? Why do you get up so early?"
"I'll make pastries with you so that you don't have to work alone." Jiang Ling walked over and began to wash her hands.
"No, you go to sleep, I can do it alone." Ji Yang declined.
"You've been working alone these few days, and I'm sorry, you have more helpers with one more person." She continued to move her hands.
"It's really unnecessary..." He watched her insist on staying, and didn't say any more, "Then if you're not sleepy, stay..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ling yawned. He obviously didn't wake up, and he also swallowed the words he couldn't say. He didn't dare to ask her to go to sleep again, lest he be mistaken that he looked down on her, and then quarreled again .
"I'll help you with any chores you have, so you can relax a bit." Jiang Ling stood beside him.
"I'll teach you how to make pastries, so that you can do it with me next time, and it will be faster." Ji Yang pursed his lips and looked at her, "Is that okay?"
He knows what she wants to do.
To put it simply, it is to be an apprentice and steal a teacher, afraid that one day he will suddenly drop his burden and leave, or don't want their mother and daughter, so she can keep the shop going.
She has been observing him for the past few days, wishing she could record him making cakes on video, so that he can't help but pretend he doesn't know.
Jiang Ling didn't realize it for a moment, she didn't expect him to say that, and she achieved her goal in one fell swoop.
"Come on." Ji Yang took the clothes from one side, handed them to her, and put a hat on her, "I'll tell you how to make stick puffs first."
He took out the flour and said to her as he started, "It's the same as meringue puffs. In fact, the most important thing is its cream. This and this, on the basis again, I added a fragrance that is not very good, but the taste is very sweet." cream."
"The ratio is three to two to one."
Jiang Ling was originally because of his unnatural movement of putting the hat on her, but she quickly regained her mood after listening to his speech.
"Okay, don't read it, look at how serious you are." Ji Yang said with a smile, "I will repeat it to you when I do it in the future, and you will remember after repeating it a few times. Look here, you don't need to do this Note, except for the flour, the ingredients are these, one spoonful of this, two spoonfuls of this, you can do it according to your mood, and this... "
He was explaining to her one by one, and then poured it in, and the machine was stirring.
Jiang Ling originally came to help him, but in the end, she stood aside and listened to him like a student. The teacher was quite responsible, took out the dough and made two demonstrations, "That's it, you come try it."
Jiang Ling walked over, picked up a ball of flour, and followed him to do it. She herself is a bit savvy, and she is quick to get started, but she must not be proficient in doing it for the first time.
"No, it won't be a long stick after you bake it like this, it's too thin." Ji Yang walked to her side and took another piece of dough, "Probably these."
Jiang Ling tried another one, and Ji Yang nodded, "That's it, it might be a bit ugly when baked, but it will be better if you practice more."
She ignored his words this time, and felt a little happy in her heart.
Long stick puffs are highly profitable, and they are bought well. If she learns one more thing, she and Ji Sibei won't be hungry in the future.
"I'll teach you the meringue puffs today." Ji Yang quickened his hands, and chatted casually, "Today, Lao Chen came to buy cakes, and told me that the cakes he bought back a while ago had a different texture than before. Same, I said it was made by my wife, she just got started, and gave him a cake to try, in case he doesn't come next time."
"I guess you didn't adjust the ratio properly, and you baked it too long."
Jiang Ling did not refute.
After all, she is a layman, and she has never seriously learned from him. She just figured it out on her own, and her business is getting worse and worse. That's why she wants to study hard this time, so that she can survive without him in the future.
"Puff pastry puffs, its ingredients are not as complicated as puff puffs, it's just..." Ji Yang put the puff puffs into the oven, took out the raw materials and continued talking to her.
The two of them were more harmonious this time than ever before, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the door of the store hadn't opened yet.
Ji Yang opened the oven, took out the cake that was just made, took off his gloves, cut a small piece, and brought it to her mouth, "Try it."
Jiang Ling didn't think too much about it, so she opened her mouth and tasted it carefully. The cake was delicate and soft, with a good taste.
"Right? Just follow these ingredients and control the time, the cake you make will taste like this, and the big cake is the same. The mixing ratio of the cream is as I told you." Ji Yang withdrew his hand, Feed her another piece.
"Yes." Jiang Ling nodded.
Recently, there have been a lot of orders for customized cakes. As he said, they mainly focus on medium sales, because the medium taste is not very good, and all major cake shops are similar. The cost of cream is there, but they add a little good cream, and it will be different immediately. .
There will be more and more repeat customers.
Jiang Ling felt that even if he left tomorrow, she would still be able to support herself and her daughter by making puffs and customized cakes, and she felt very comfortable in her heart.
"Looking in a good mood, don't you learn it? Just do it a few more times." Ji Yang stared at her with dark eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, pretending that he didn't understand her real thoughts.
"Yeah." Jiang Ling nodded, looking good at him.
"Eat more, it's breakfast." Ji Yang pointed to the cake, "There is fresh milk delivered yesterday outside, I'll take it from the refrigerator and warm it up, and I'll drink it when Beibei gets up."
He finished speaking and walked out.
Jiang Ling tilted her head, looked at his back, and pursed her lips. In fact, this is fine, as long as he doesn't care about his family like before.
As soon as this thought came up, she was forced to dismiss it immediately. She couldn't think like this anymore. She must have the ability to support herself and Beibei independently. Even if he left, her life would not be greatly affected.
Only in this way, when he said that he could only rely on him and let her go away with her daughter, she could straighten up and leave!
She wants to give herself confidence, so that she will not be forced to bow her head and compromise for the sake of reality.
Ji Yang walked in, heated up the milk, first poured her a cup, then left a cup for Ji Sibei, and finally he drank the rest.
"Why are you looking at me?" He looked up and saw Jiang Ling was looking at him.
She shook her head, still holding the milk in her hand, seeing him like this now, made her feel that the sudden change of him in the past few months was an illusion.
"I'm going to finish drinking. I'll take out the puffs and make cakes later. There's no one there on weekend mornings." He finished the cake in his hand in two or three bites.
"Yeah." Jiang Ling took a sip of milk, she was going to wake Ji Sibei up after eating, and then came down to look at the shop.
