Chapter 223 It’s Snowing
Chapter 223 It’s Snowing
Whether she had already thought it through or not, when Tian Tian saw these words, her heart only raced a little, but she didn't think about anything else.
She tucked the booklet under her pillow, turned over, and went to sleep.
Unlike her, Ling Yao's side...
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Finally, he sat bolt upright in shock...
He arrived at the entrance of Baishi Teahouse before dawn to wait for Tian Tian.
He had just arrived at the shop when snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
This is the first snow of the year...
"Young Master Ling?" Xiao Si opened the shop early because he was worried that the customers who came early to wait would catch a cold due to the snow.
did not expect...
I saw a small snowman at the door.
"Young Master Ling, how long have you been waiting here?" Xiao Si knew Ling Yao's identity, so she quickly pulled him into the shop.
She immediately turned on the air conditioner and then brought a white towel to wipe his hair.
How long have you been waiting?
"So much snow in your hair..."
"Didn't I tell you where Miss Tian lives?"
"Hasn't Miss Tian seen you?"
"Did you have a fight?"
"Is there some misunderstanding?"
"It's so cold...you're being silly...just waiting here?"
After saying this, Xiao Si suddenly fell silent.
He cautiously sized up Ling Yao. How could he possibly call His Highness stupid?
"Ahem... Young Master Ling, why don't you warm up here?" Xiao Si gestured for Ling Yao to sit in the seat closest to the air conditioner.
He even thoughtfully adjusted the air conditioner blades so that all the hot air was directed at Ling Yao.
He still has work to do; he doesn't have time to stay here and serve His Highness all the time.
The other staff members from Baishi Teahouse arrived one after another.
They were all surprised to see Ling Yao there.
But after just that one moment, everyone started working in an orderly manner.
They were among the first to work with Tian Tian, so they all knew that as long as things were done well, Miss Tian would have no complaints.
So... nothing is more important than them doing their jobs well.
Looking at the busy workers, Ling Yao admired Tian Tian's management skills even more.
These guys...
Some wiped the tables, some wiped the floor, some wiped the windows, and some set the tables. The work was done in no time.
Then they all went to the backyard.
The deliveryman from the backyard has arrived.
Several pigs delivered by the butcher shop had already been cut up according to their respective parts, with the pig's internal organs and offal also neatly categorized.
Chickens and ducks were delivered, and they were all slaughtered, plucked, and separated into different parts.
They also deliver fish and shrimp, all freshly caught that morning.
There were also vegetables that Tian Tian delivered that morning, freshly picked from her field.
The clerk specifically responsible for receiving the goods carefully inspected their quality and checked their weight...
Then it is stored in the warehouse.
The aunties who had been waiting started processing their assigned goods as soon as they received them.
Once the ingredients were prepared, the aunties started packing meals and making tea...
By this time, the shop was already packed with diners.
"Oh, I only feel comfortable when I come to Baishi Teahouse." The diners took off their heavy coats, revealing thin robes underneath.
Some diners couldn't help but stretch their legs.
Soon, the shop was filled with steaming hot food, and diners were enjoying their freshly prepared meals.
They were all chatting enthusiastically.
But...
Ling Yao and the others had not arrived yet.
"Young Master Ling, what would you like to eat?" Xiao Si asked as he came over.
Once a customer enters the shop, he can't tell the difference at all.
Ling Yao waved his hand, not getting an answer, and he really had no appetite.
But Xiao Si still brought him a glass of corn juice.

When Tian Tian woke up in the morning, she saw that everything outside was white and large snowflakes were falling from the sky.
Luckily, there's air conditioning in the room, otherwise I'd wake up freezing in the middle of the night.
She got out of bed wearing only light pajamas and stood by the window to admire the snow scene for a while.
Then I started putting on my outer clothes...
As she stepped outside, a shiver ran through her, prompting her to quicken her pace and hurry to the dining room.
"Second Sister." There was air conditioning in the dining room, and Tian Jinghe was eating breakfast after taking off her heavy coat.
"Second sister, we have egg pancakes today."
Tian Jinghe really likes egg pancakes.
Moreover, this egg pancake was improved by Tian Tian, and it is similar to Jianbing Guozi (Chinese crepe).
"Eat quickly, the roads are difficult to travel by carriage after the snow. If we can't make it today, we'll have to go to the county school," Tian Tian said.
Not only did he have to walk to the county school, but they also had to walk to the shop.
Tian Jinghe chuckled and lifted his leg. "Don't worry, I'm wearing the new leather boots my mother made for me today."
Leather boots can keep you warm and prevent slipping.
He used to envy the other older brothers in the Tian family who wore them.
Now he's finally wearing it too.
Tian Tian sat down, and the cook brought her soy milk and egg pancakes.
"It's been cold lately, so please turn on all the air conditioners we installed for you. Don't get cold." Tian Tian was never harsh on her servants.
These air conditioners, in particular, are all powered by solar energy, so there's no need to pay for electricity.
"Thank you, Second Miss." The cook was extremely grateful.
How lucky they were to be bought by the second daughter.
They were servants, yet their rooms were equipped with air conditioning, the kind only found in the master bedroom.
Warm in winter and cool in summer...
Lu Tao, Liu San Niang, Tian Xiang, and Qin Youyou also arrived one after another.
"It's snowing today, Mother, Aunt Liu, Eldest Sister, you shouldn't go to the shop."
"Stay home and rest."
"I'll go check on the shop, and come back if nothing's wrong."
Tian Tian suddenly thought, "Hey, how about... we have hot pot at home?"
"I want some too!!" Tian Jinghe looked up, his mouth full of egg pancakes, but he still tried his best to mutter.
"If you want to eat... that's fine too. You can also invite your classmates over for a meal," Tian Tian said with a smile.
Eating hot pot is more lively when there are many people.
Tian Jinghe happily put down his chopsticks and came to Tian Tian's side, "Second sister, really?"
Tian's sweet dessert.
Tian Jinghe excitedly ran around the table twice before finally sitting back down in his seat. "Then I'm going to invite all my classmates from my school, and others from other schools... I'm going to invite a lot of people."
Tian Tian said helplessly, "Please go ahead and invite me. My second sister will have someone send over more ingredients."
"That's great!!" Tian Jinghe raised his arm high.
Tian Tian reminded him, "Don't forget to invite the Instructor and the two tutors to come along."
"it is good!!!"

Tian Tian took Tian Jinghe to the county school, and then went to Baishi Hot Pot Shop alone with an umbrella.
In winter, the hot pot shops are doing booming business.
It's not even lunchtime yet, and people are already taking numbers and queuing up.
"Second Miss, you've arrived." The waiter came out to greet her.
Tian Tian smiled and nodded, and the waiter went to serve the diners, "Guest at table number ten... come with me."
"Guest at table number seven, please follow me..."
"Guest in room number three...please follow me."
The staff were busy calling out numbers and then leading the guests inside...
The anxiously waiting customers, holding their number plates, couldn't help but come up to Tian Tian and complain.
"Miss Tian, your hot pot shop is doing so well, when are you going to open a branch?"
