Everyone in the room was so scared that their legs were shaking.
The guy who chased Jiang Tangtang away that day was so scared that he almost peed.
In fact, he had a bad premonition in his heart since he accidentally saw the young lady he had driven away that day with the owner of Jiuxia Silver House a few days ago. Unexpectedly, the premonition came true.
If the boss knew that the young lady came to see him first that day, but was driven away by him, why not take his life?
He gritted his teeth, a hint of evil flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Tangtang wants to open a pastry shop before the Chinese New Year.
In addition to taking advantage of the New Year when most people are willing to spend money, another important reason is that she wants to sell gift boxes.
At this time, when people give gifts to relatives during the New Year and holidays, they like to add some cakes or something to the gifts to look decent.
Jiang Tangtang checked the decoration progress of the shop again and found that it could be completed within the time she expected, so she went out to find someone to customize the gift box.
However, there are no places specializing in gift box packaging in this era. Most of the ones sold outside are food boxes.
Although the food box can be used as a gift box, she asked several shops and found that the price was high. After she asked for a slight modification, the other party was even more unwilling to bother with it.
In the end, Jiang Tangtang simply decided to find a craftsman who knew how to weave bamboo to make it custom-made.
I heard that there were many craftsmen in Jiangzhu Village who were good at making bamboo weaving. Jiang Tangtang took Guo Yu to Jiangzhu Village that day. Unexpectedly, after asking around the whole village, they all said they couldn't do it.
Jiang Tangtang was annoyed that he didn't inquire carefully about the news, and when he wasted a whole day today, he unexpectedly met Zhao Jia.
"Sister Jiang, why are you here?" Zhao Jia recently touched the skin on her face and felt that it was much more delicate. When she saw Jiang Tangtang, her eyes lit up and she was very excited.
Jiang Tangtang put away his bad mood and said with a smile: "It's Sister Xia! I just heard that there are many masters in Jiangzhu Village who are good at bamboo weaving. I wanted to find someone to weave some bamboo baskets, but I didn't want to come over until I realized it was a misunderstanding."
Zhao Jia Only then did he notice that Jiang Tangtang was accompanied by a girl. The girl had a bamboo box in her hand.
She smiled and said: "Why didn't you come to me for this matter and why did you come so far away?"
Jiang Tangtang suddenly said happily: "Can you make bamboo weaving?"
"I can't. But some of my brothers can! You Come with me to my house. My brother is very skilled in knitting, and his knitting skills are better than yours! He can not only knit with bamboo, but also with rattan..."
Zhao Jiaxu rambled on about his brother's glorious deeds, Jiang Tangtang Great spirits.
At that moment, I decided to follow Zhao Jia and visit her home.
There are three brothers in Zhao Jia, and all of them are good at bamboo weaving, but the one with the best skills is undoubtedly the second brother Zhao Chuan.
After understanding Jiang Tangtang's request, he immediately started weaving bamboo silk into a bamboo basket.
"This work is slow! Sister Jiang, come and have something to eat before we watch." Zhao Jia brought a bowl of sweetened eggs to Jiang Tangtang.
Zhao's mother was also very enthusiastic and sent Guo Yu a bowl of sugar-watered eggs, insisting that the two of them stay for dinner.
"How long does it take to weave a bamboo basket?" Jiang Tangtang asked.
"It depends on people. My second brother is very handy and he can do things quickly. You and I go out for a walk and stay at home for lunch. He will make it up later."
The Zhao family entertained guests warmly, and they also wanted to see bamboo baskets. After editing the finished product, Jiang Tangtang did not refuse.
Zhao Jia saw that Jiang Tangtang was very interested in bamboo weaving, so he took her to see the gadgets that his brother usually knitted for the family.
"It's so well woven, why don't you sell it in the city?" Jiang Tangtang held a small basket made of rattan and thought it was more exquisite than the ones she had bought on Taobao before.
"Sometimes when I have free time, I make some and take them to the county town to sell, but small baskets like this are not as easy to sell as small baskets."
Jiang Tangtang said, "How much do you usually sell this basket for?"
Zhao Jiandao: "My second brother used to sell it. There are more than ten pieces of paper each, but it is not easy to sell. It takes more effort to make this than Shao Kei. Later, when I went to the city, I specialized in making Shao Kei and the like to sell. We made such small baskets for our own use."
Jiang Tangtang had an idea in his mind, But I haven't said it yet. After Zhao Chuan had finished weaving the basket, he said, "A basket like this costs fifty cents each. I want fifty. Can I make it before the Chinese New Year?"
The Zhao family were all shocked by Jiang Tangtang's words.
Jiang Tangtang saw that none of the Zhao family said anything and asked again: "Is this price inappropriate? If you think the price is too low, we can discuss it again."
Zhao's mother waved her hands quickly and said: "No, no."
They usually sell one dumpling. It only costs more than a dozen cents and takes about the same amount of time. This is more than twice as high as it should be. It feels like a big pie falling from the sky.
Jiang Tangtang said: "Is that time?"
"There is enough time," Zhao Chuan said: "As for the price, did you pay too much? Don't treat me badly because of my sister..."
Zhao Jiayou wanted to tell his second brother not to Collecting money, but dozens of baskets, takes a lot of effort. The second brother has a wife and children to raise, and her natal family is not as well off as the Xia family.
This kept her from speaking.
Zhao's mother was an honest person, and quickly followed her son's words and echoed: "I heard Jianiang said that you have helped her a lot, you can't lose any more."
"The price on the market is higher than this! Speaking of which, it's still I took advantage, so don't refuse."
Jiang Tangtang talked for a long time before convincing a few people that she was not deliberately offering a high price for Zhao Jia's sake, and finally settled on the bamboo basket.
In addition to the bamboo gift boxes, Jiang Tangtang also asked for some small rattan baskets. However, these small rattan baskets do not require time. You can weave them after the bamboo baskets are ready.
Although they were acquaintances, Jiang Tangtang got the contract and paid half of the money in advance to the Zhao family as a deposit.
Zhao Jia was very embarrassed, blushed, and stammered: "Sister Jiang, I'm so sorry, you have helped us so much, and I am still helping my mother-in-law's business..."
Jiang Tangtang smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Xia, you are so awesome. Don't say that, you really helped me a lot today. If it weren't for you, I might still be looking for someone who can weave bamboo baskets!"
She said, and suddenly remembered, "Sister-in-law Xia, I Do you still have the beauty cream I gave you last time?"
Zhao Jia was very embarrassed, "It's almost used up!"
"Then tomorrow, I'll give you another jar." Jiang Tangtang looked at her and smiled: "I see you Your skin is much better now. If you keep using it, you will be the signature of our shop from now on."
Zhao Jia was happy, but also became more and more embarrassed. He changed the subject and said: "When will you return to Zhuangzi? It's almost the Chinese New Year, I don't know. Will the military camp let them come back for a holiday?"
Jiang Tangtang was busy the past few days and had no time to think about Lu Shiyan. When Zhao Jia mentioned this, he couldn't help but wonder what Lu Shiyan was doing now. Will he come back for the New Year?
At this moment, Lu Shiyan, who was missed by Jiang Tangtang, suddenly received a mission.
