After finishing his meal, Shen Zhian went straight to the kitchen.
He left his steward behind to see the other managers off.
Tian Tian accompanied the manager, a smile playing on her lips.
"Miss Tian, the food at your Baishi Teahouse is novel and delicious. We will definitely come here often in the future."
Tian Tian smiled and bowed, "It would be an honor for Baishi Teahouse."
"Haha, why call me Miss Tian? You should call me Manager Tian."
"Yes, Manager Tian, then we'll come again next time. Goodbye."
"Respectfully seeing off all the shopkeepers."
Zhang Fusheng carefully guided the carriages out one by one, ensuring that traffic flowed smoothly at the entrance and did not become congested.
Tian Tian was very satisfied with what she saw.
However, this is just the beginning. As business gets better and better, parking will become a big problem.
But for now, she'd better go check out the kitchen.
*
As soon as Shen Zhian arrived at the backyard, he was stopped by a servant.
"Manager Shen, this is the backyard, a sensitive area, and it is inconvenient for guests to come in."
Shen Zhian gave an awkward laugh, "I came to find you..."
"Manager Tian's mother... um, Madam Lu."
The servant insisted, "Manager Shen, please go back to your room and wait. I will go and inform Madam Lu right away."
Shen Zhian pointed to the eaves, "Then, I'll wait there. You go and tell him I'm waiting for you."
After saying that, he actually ran to the eaves and waited obediently.
The servant had no choice but to go to the kitchen and knock on the door.
"Madam Lu, a manager named Shen is looking for you."
Lu Tao was so busy that she didn't even think about it, "How would I know any Manager Shen?"
The servant was taken aback and looked at Shen Zhian.
Shen Zhian cupped his hands in greeting, "Please inform them again, young man."
The servant had no choice but to continue reporting, "Madam Lu, it's Manager Shen from Xiushui County, who's in the tea business."
Lu Tao was about to say that she didn't know this person.
Liu San Niang raised her head, "Sister Lu, wasn't that gluttonous shopkeeper surnamed Shen?"
The gluttonous shopkeeper...
Liu San Niang's reminder brought Lu Tao back to her senses.
The shopkeeper, who had been eating egg pancakes at her house for seven or eight days in a row, suddenly stopped coming one day.
They got so busy with the steamed bun shop that they completely forgot about him.
Why is he here?
Lu Tao put down the shrimp dumplings she had just wrapped. "I'll go take a look."
As soon as she opened the kitchen door, Shen Zhian rushed over.
"Sister Lu," Shen Zhian called out warmly, "I left in a hurry last time because there were things to do at the estate, and I didn't inform you. I was really impolite."
"I never expected that in just over a month, the girl would open such a big teahouse."
"I truly admire him."
Lu Tao smiled awkwardly, "Manager Shen is joking."
"Compared to Manager Shen's business, our teahouse is just a small business."
Shen Zhian shook his head repeatedly, "My business is just small-scale."
Lu Tao smiled and said nothing more.
Tea shops are scattered throughout Daqi; how could it be a small business?
"Girl, we've known each other for so long, you don't need to call me Manager Shen anymore."
Lu Tao looked up in surprise. "Not called Manager Shen? Then what should I call him?"
"If the young lady doesn't mind, she can call me Brother Shen."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Shen Zhian's eyes. "Speaking of which, I'm in business, and Tian Tian is in business too. I can help her out in the future."
As he expected, upon hearing Tian Tian and Zhao Fu, Lu Tao hesitated for a moment before finally changing her mind.
"Brother Shen."
"Hehe..." Shen Zhian was delighted.
Lu Tao smiled at him and turned to look back.
The shop was doing brisk business, and she couldn't stop working for a moment...
I've only been away for a short while, and I'm afraid of delaying the business outside.
Seeing her like this, Shen Zhian quickly and tactfully took his leave, "Sister, I'm going to the inn to rest now. We can talk again another time. Goodbye."
Lu Tao then revealed a genuine smile, "Well... Manager Shen... Brother Shen, please take care. I'm sorry I can't see you off."
"well."
Lu Tao returned to her seat and continued making shrimp dumplings.
Liu San Niang put down what she was holding, took her hand, and mysteriously put it in her ear, "Sister Lu, what did Manager Shen say to you?"
Lu Tao shook her head. "She didn't say anything."
"what?"
"Just tell him to call him Brother Shen from now on."
"They even said they could take care of Tian Tian a little."
Liu San Niang's eyes widened. "You called out?"
Lu Tao nodded. "Mm."
It's no big deal to call him Brother Shen.
Liu San Niang lowered her voice, "Sister Lu, Manager Shen... could it be that he has taken a liking to you?"
Lu Tao looked up in astonishment and blurted out, "How is that possible?"
He was a wealthy businessman, while she was a peasant woman and a widow who had just lost her husband.
Liu San Niang chuckled and said, "What's impossible? Sister Lu, your appearance... is extremely beautiful."
"Because of you, aren't Xiang'er, Tiantian, and Jinghe all exceptionally beautiful?"
Speaking of Xiang'er, Tiantian, and Jinghe, Lu Tao smiled slightly; her children were indeed quite good-looking.
It's just a pity that Xiang'er met Chu Xing, and Tian Tian met that short-lived man from the Cheng family.
She sighed.
Liu San Niang clicked her tongue helplessly, "We were talking so well, why are you sighing again, sister?"
She bent down, wrapping shrimp dumplings, and said, "I'm not that old. If I meet someone who treats me well, what's wrong with remarrying?"
"And what about Xiang'er and Tian Tian? They're even younger. Are they really going to live like this just because of that reputation?"
Lu Tao glanced at her and said, "You're always talking about me. You're even a few years younger than me. Why don't you remarry?"
Liu San Niang snorted, "If I meet someone who treats me well, I will definitely remarry."
She looked up at Daya, who was helping out at the stove, and said, "Once Daya gets married, I'll definitely remarry."
Lu Tao laughed and scolded, "Shameless!"
"What's there to be ashamed of?" Liu San Niang said coquettishly, "It's not like it's your first time getting married."
Tian Tian pushed open the kitchen door and happened to hear Liu San Niang's words.
"What? Is Aunt Liu going to remarry?"
Liu San Niang looked at Lu Tao, "It wasn't me, I was talking about your mother."
"Sweetie, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense!" Lu Tao said.
After hearing just a few words from them, Tian Tian roughly guessed the whole story.
Actually, she was also puzzled by Shen Zhian's attitude towards her.
But she didn't believe that Shen Zhian had feelings for Lu Tao.
It's not that Lu Tao isn't good enough, but Shen Zhian... he's the head manager of a tea shop.
A manager like that must have countless beautiful women in his household.
Just the fact that he's so rich means he could have any woman he wanted.
In her opinion, he was just a glutton!
I stayed because I knew she had all sorts of delicious food I'd never tried before.
“If Mother meets someone who treats her well and wants to remarry, I will support her.” Tian Tian squeezed next to Lu Tao, snuggling close to her. “But the kind of person who is lustful and has ulterior motives is unacceptable!”
"Sweetie, you're talking nonsense too!" Lu Tao said shyly.
Tian Tian hugged her and whispered, "Mom, I'm not lying."
She was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
