I insist

Chapter 29: Not optimistic

"Could you please take these things back for me?"

Song Miqiu certainly couldn't carry all that stuff back on her own, but because she bought so much, the shopkeeper was naturally happy to agree.

After Song Miqiu paid the money, not much of the reward money that the government had sent was left.

Although everyone knew that Yu Huailin's identity was not simple, the higher-ups deliberately concealed it. So even the bounty order only described him as a wicked thief, and the bounty was not set very high.

"This money really goes by too quickly!"

Song Miqiu couldn't help but sigh to himself, but after he left the shop, a person walked out from the alley next to him.

This person has been following her all the way, but the other party is very strong, and Song Miqiu has no way of detecting him.

Seeing that the woman was preparing to go home, the man used his light-footed skills to leave.

However, the direction he left in was the same as Song Miqiu's!

Once inside the courtyard, wasn't this Song Miqiu's home?

"Master, the man you asked me to keep an eye on found a shop on the street, but he only sat there for a short while before coming out. After wandering around the street for a bit, he bought a bunch of flour and some other miscellaneous items, and he's on his way back now."

This person told Yu Huailin everything he had seen, down to the smallest detail.

Yu Huailin nodded. "Keep an eye on her, but make sure she doesn't find out."

That's right, this is the person he arranged to keep an eye on Song Miqiu.

He didn't know he didn't trust her; rather, he simply couldn't trust anyone except those close to him!

Just as he arrived, he was not discovered by anyone, and naturally, he left in the same way.

Song Miqiu had already arrived in the courtyard by this time, followed by the shop owners who had come to deliver the goods.

"Just leave the goods in the yard. Please give my regards to your boss. If business is good in the future, I might become a long-term customer."

"Alright! We'll be going now!"

These people have been working for the boss for a long time, and when the boss's business prospers, it naturally benefits them as well.

After Song Miqiu dismissed these people, he turned around and saw Yu Huailin standing in front of the flour sacks.

Thinking about what happened yesterday, Song Miqiu still felt a little scared.

Hearing the commotion, everyone else in the house ran out, especially Qiu Xiaobai and Qiu Xiaoshuang.

"Grandma! You bought so much stuff! What are all these things for?"

They recognized the flour and such, but what were the other sugars and dried fruits they bought for?

They didn't have any money, did they? Grandma bought food for them?

Yu Huailin saw her staring at him and couldn't help but speak up.

"What did you buy all this for? Don't tell me you think I've been taking good care of you these past two days, so you bought it as a reward?"

Song Miqiu didn't want to pay any attention to him at all!

Ever since Qiu Tianlei discovered that he had spent the night in his room, this man seemed to have suddenly changed his gender overnight, and his speech became increasingly incoherent.

But seeing that everyone in the courtyard was staring at him, he had no choice but to tell them what he was thinking.

After all, if it can be done well, it's a long-term business, and at least they'll be doing it for a long time while accumulating capital in the early stages.

"I plan to make some pastries that no one has ever seen before and sell them."

"Does Grandma still make pastries?"

Wow! Grandma is amazing!

Qiu Xiaobai and Qiu Xiaoshuang were very supportive. Tian Yumei could only smile as she watched her children's happy faces. She had made dumplings with her mother-in-law before, so maybe she was really good at making pastries.

As for Qiu Tianlei?

He was completely bewildered at that moment.

When did Mother acquire such abilities?

Furthermore, if it really needs to be done, who will do the work? Will Mother handle it herself, or will she hand it over to Madam Tian?

Qiu Tianlei thought about many things, but Song Miqiu didn't have that much time to explain things to them.

If they can actually make money by then, they won't ask so many questions.

However, unlike the many flattering voices, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"Are you sure? But I don't think it's a good idea."

Yu Huailin's voice was very calm, just like the person he was.

Song Miqiu wasn't angry at being given the cold shoulder, but more importantly, he didn't dare to.

Why?

Although he tried to keep his tone calm, Yu Huailin was a man who could naturally hear the resentment in the woman's voice.

At times, this woman is very strong-willed.

“I don’t mean to discourage you, but you went around today and you probably saw that there are quite a few people selling pastries. Unless you really have a unique feature that no one else has, you won’t make any progress.”

This place isn't very big, and the people here aren't wealthy, so they won't spend money to try things they're already familiar with.

Faced with the same thing, they would naturally prefer to go to the place they usually frequent.

How will you know if you don't try?

Song Miqiu would not admit defeat so easily.

Yu Huailin could tell that the woman was in high spirits, so he didn't try to discourage her. If it really didn't work out, she would give up on her own.

Song Miqiu was indignant, so when none of them were paying attention, she directly exchanged cake powder from the mall.

That day, Song Miqiu and Tian Yumei plunged headfirst into the kitchen.

Because of her orders, no one dared to go in.

The wait was agonizing, but when they smelled the enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen, they almost couldn't resist.

"It smells so good! What is this smell? Why have I never smelled it before?"

"Is this the pastry Grandma is making? It looks a little different from the ones I saw when I visited Erbao's house last time."

However, no one can answer these questions for Qiu Tianlei and the children.

When Song Miqiu and Tian Yumei came out carrying slices of cake, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief!

"We didn't make much this time, so everyone should share a piece and have a taste first."

As soon as Song Miqiu finished speaking, Qiu Tianlei rushed forward, grabbed a spoon, chopped off a piece, and put it in his mouth.

then……

His eyes shone as he stared at the remaining cake.

Yu Huailin was somewhat surprised. He had tasted countless things without any problems, but this was the first time he had ever smelled such a flavor.

To be honest, he was also a little curious.

So I stepped forward and gently picked up a piece from the other side, then put it in my mouth and savored it slowly.

I don't know if it's too late to take back what I said before.

This is completely different from the pastries they've had before!

So soft and fluffy, with a unique fragrance, even he found himself becoming somewhat addicted.

Song Miqiu knew from his expression that she had succeeded.

"I plan to take the rest of these tonight and try selling them. If they sell well, one night should be enough time for the news to spread. We'll go again tomorrow!"

After tasting these flavors, although everyone was reluctant to part with them, they also knew that their main priority now was not to satisfy their appetites, but to make money!
