I ate the meat and drank the soup, slurping it up, feeling extremely comfortable.

Have a steamed bun, a mouthful of dry food and a sip of soup. In such a cold day, you will sweat a lot after drinking the soup. It’s so satisfying!

The proposal of a big pot of mutton soup was approved by Manager Fu and others. Xia Mingyue also quickly started to set up a stall for trial sales to see the market reaction.

The three people who set up the stall in the past were Xia Mingyue, Zhuang Cui and Jiang Zhuguo. However, recently, considering that Jiang Zhuguo would stay in Xia Ji to manage it for a long time, Xia Mingyue intended to delegate many of her tasks to her, allowing her to focus her main energy on managing Xia Ji.

With only two people, selling mutton soup and making fresh sesame cakes to ensure the taste were a bit overwhelming, so Xia Mingyue decided to find someone else to help.

Seeing this, Honglian volunteered, "Madam Xia, can I?"

She had been working with Zhuang's mother and Yin Qiao for some time, and had done a lot of work in the kitchen. She thought she was very skillful and would not leave the work to Xia Mingyue.

"Okay." Xia Mingyue likes people who take the initiative, and she responded with a smile, "But you don't have much experience in setting up stalls, so you need to learn a lot at the beginning. Also, setting up stalls is much harder than you think, so you need to be mentally prepared."

"Yeah!" Honglian nodded vigorously, and that night she faced the mirror and put on makeup again and again.

Apply more powder to cover the corners of your eyes, and then use eyebrow pencil to deliberately lift the corners of your eyes downwards to make the original fox eyes droop a little, so that they look less protruding.

After all these were cleaned up, Honglian still looked dissatisfied.

There was too much powder and the color was too white, making the makeup look extremely heavy and gaudy, which made it even more abrupt.

Honglian thought about it for a long time, and when she went out the next day, she went to the cosmetics shop on the street to look for a darker color of powder. After buying it, she painted her entire face dark and slightly sallow.

In this way, the originally charming and pretty face suddenly became much less attractive, and with a little decoration on the eyebrows and eyes, it looked much more harmonious.

After looking at it carefully, Honglian felt quite satisfied and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The stall for the big pot mutton soup was quickly set up and the trial operation officially began. In order to avoid being in a rush on the first day, Xia Mingyue went out early to prepare.

Zhuang Cui and Hong Lian hurried to follow.

When Xia Mingyue saw Honglian's face which was quite different from usual, she was stunned at first, but after thinking about her intention, she didn't say much.

Various ingredients were brought to the stall, mutton soup was boiled in a large pot, and Xia Mingyue started making sesame cakes.

Knead the dough until it is completely smooth, roll it into a large oval piece with a rolling pin, apply an appropriate amount of salt and pepper salt, roll it into long strips, cut it into appropriate-sized pieces, roll it into oval-shaped pancakes, put them in a large frying pan one by one, and fry until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.

The salt and pepper biscuits made in this way are very salty and fragrant, and you will never get tired of eating them. Because they are made from leavened dough, they are soft and fluffy inside and extremely delicious.

The mutton soup in the pot quickly boiled, and even with the large wooden lid on, the aroma still wafted out along the edge of the pot.

The aroma of the sesame cakes also emanates as they are cooked one by one. The mixture of the two aromas attracts people on the street to stop and watch.

After noticing that there was a new stall selling mutton soup on the street and hanging a signboard of Xia Ji, which has become very famous in Changzhou City in recent days, some people came to the stall.

Order a bowl of soup and two sesame cakes, and have more when you finish the soup. It’s really satisfying!
Xia Mingyue and the other two set up a stall and were very welcoming to the customers, smiling, which made them feel even more comfortable drinking the mutton soup.

Therefore, from the first day when the big pot of mutton soup was set up, the stall was crowded with customers. After a few days, as the cold continued, more and more people were willing to drink a bowl of hot, fragrant and filling mutton soup in this cold weather. "Let's go and drink mutton soup."

It has become a catchphrase for greeting friends on the streets.

The mutton soup stall business was booming, and Xia Mingyue was quite confident and began to develop mutton soup franchise.

As the business grew bigger and bigger, and more and more money came into his pocket every day, Manager Fu smiled more and more.

But some are happy while others are sad. At this time, Qinglian Villa is shrouded in clouds of sorrow.

Cui Wendong also had a lot of wounds on his body.

Ever since Cui Wendong was attacked on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival and then beaten in broad daylight the next day, it was as if a mysterious door had been opened and the beatings came one after another.

As long as he goes out, no matter where he goes or how many people are with him, he will still encounter the masked criminal.

Some people even broke into Qinglian Villa, beat him up and then walked away. Their arrogance was outrageous!
Those people didn't even listen to his introduction, and even ignored his threat to call the police. They just swung their fists and started beating him. Their beatings were steady, accurate and fierce, making him feel enough pain without making the scars look too severe.

Moreover, those people were extremely wicked and cunning. When they beat people, they specifically hit the parts that were covered by clothes, so that on the surface he looked like nothing was wrong.

That would have been fine, but Cui Wendong also discovered that those people who came to beat him up didn’t seem to be sent by the same person.

Because he had been beaten by two or even three groups of people at the same time.

The people from each group were very surprised and alert at first, but when they learned that they had the same goal, they suddenly became very friendly and harmonious, with a sense of mutual respect. They even lined up in an orderly manner to beat him up, and would not overstep the mark.

There were even two groups of people who were polite to each other and discussed how to save energy and be more effective when beating people...

Arrogant, too arrogant!
Cui Wendong believed that he had never suffered such injustice since he was born. When encountering such a thing, he was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.

Such actions naturally resulted in even more severe beatings.

Cui Wendong had to learn his lesson and changed from cursing at first to begging for mercy, not caring at all about the dignity he once talked about.

Perhaps because he was much more obedient, those people attacked him with less force and they did not come to his house in the past two days.

As Cui Wendong breathed a sigh of relief, the anger that had been suppressed for a long time rushed to his head again.

"You villains, don't let me find out who you are, or I will tear you into pieces!"

The bodies were also thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves!
"Young Master is wise!" Qingsong on the side nodded repeatedly.

The fire in the city gate affected all the innocent people. Cui Wendong was beaten up recently, and he, as a servant beside him, was not spared either. He was beaten into a pig's head and suffered a lot.

But then again, the worse his and Cui Wendong's fate is, the better it shows that he has done his job. Can he ask the Third Young Master for some reward? (End of this chapter)
