Chapter 256

[Haitao is a fat girl who lives very seriously. Her favorite thing is eating snacks.

Whether it is sweet, salty, crispy, soft, sticky, hard, tough, meaty or vegetarian, you can find it in her bag.

There were even strange sour, bitter and spicy snacks. She said they were also made by her and tasted better than cowhide pastry. I tried them and didn’t like them. Snacks should be sweet.

But she said that there are many kinds of people in the world, all strange and with different tastes, and there should be many kinds of pastries as well, just like people, they don’t necessarily have to follow the crowd.

She said she wanted to open a pastry shop called Qianwei Pastry Shop, and it should be the first one on the left at the intersection by the water in the south of Ji'an Town.

I asked her why she had to go there.

She told me a story, a story about her childhood.

When she was about five years old, she could hardly speak and the neighbors laughed at her for being stupid. Her father thought so too.

She wanted to have another child, but her mother was not happy about it, so the two of them started arguing. It was so fierce that her grandmother pulled her out of the door, gave her some money, and told her to go for a walk on the street, saying, "It's not good for children to hear adults arguing. Go play for a while, buy some snacks, and come back when they stop arguing."

She can't speak much, but she can understand.

Dim sum was the cakes and pastries that her mother made for her. Whenever she was unhappy, she would cry and scream, but as soon as she saw the cakes and pastries, she would stop screaming.

It has the scent of her mother on it. When she eats it, she will laugh, and her mother will laugh too. Her father will stop scolding her, and her grandmother will not stamp her feet and mutter, "What a sin this is."

Everyone is happy.

She didn't understand at the time and thought everyone was happy because they had cakes to eat.

So after listening to her grandmother, she ran out with the copper coins, wanting to buy some cakes for her parents.

She has a good memory. She remembers that when she was younger, her parents would often take her to a shop selling cakes and pastries. There were a lot of people there. They called her mother the owner, father the shopkeeper, and her the little owner. While her parents were talking, they would hand her over to a big sister with a very round face. The sister would give her cakes and pastries to eat, and also take her to the waterside at the door to watch the fish under the bridge.

That sister talks a lot and can talk for most of the day. The snacks she brings are always very sweet.

When her throat was choked with food, she would say she was thirsty, and they would go back together to drink some water. After she finished drinking, A-niang would carry her home. She would hug A-niang's neck and look at the road on both sides with curiosity, and she would never get tired of it.

Later, she never spoke and was always shouting. Her father said it would disturb the guests, so he didn't let her mother take her there, but she still remembered the way.

She ran all the way over, stepped over the threshold, and wanted to find the older sister to buy cakes.

But I saw the person sitting at the counter.

That person was the concubine her father later took in. She didn't know it at the time and thought she was very beautiful and kind, so she walked over and put the copper coins on the counter.

She asked, "Where did you come from, kid? What are you selling?"

"……cake."

It took her a long time to utter a word.

She rolled her eyes impatiently: "I didn't know you wanted to buy cakes. I asked you what kind of cakes you wanted. Where are your parents? Aren't they with you?"

"No! Sweet...cake!"

"You can't even explain yourself clearly, what's sweet and salty? I'm so annoyed. Get out, get out. If you want to sell it, go find your parents," she said, waving her hands and yelling, "He's dead, he's dead, why are you letting all these people in? You think I'm not busy enough, right? If you don't want to work, quit tomorrow. All of you, pack up and leave..."

Hai Tao said: "Her voice was so loud, sharp and thin that I was so scared that I started crying and screaming.

I was carried out in a daze. When I opened my eyes, I saw the big sister with a very round face. She talked a lot and kept talking, but she didn't give me any cakes or take me to see the fish. She just held me and kept walking.

She was about to take me home, and even as I hugged her, I could still see that person behind me, scolding me and telling my sister not to go back.

Hai Tao paused for a long time before continuing,

“That sister was really driven away.

She sent me home, but grandma didn't let her in. My mother didn't know that I had gone out to buy cakes, but when she heard me shouting for cakes, she made some for me.

I can't explain it. I was eating and crying at the same time. My tears flowed into my mouth. It was very salty and not tasty at all. I cried even harder.

By the time I was able to explain this matter clearly, my aunt had been married for a long time and my sister had long disappeared.

Grandma is dead. My father doesn’t believe what I said at all, and my aunt doesn’t admit it either.

In order to take me away, my mother gave them the shop. I heard that the shop closed less than half a year after we left.

It turned out that all the guys had dispersed.

A Niang said she felt sorry for them.

I originally wanted them to work hard with me, have something to do and money to spend, so that they could be their own masters and live a different life, but she trusted my father wrongly.

I also feel sorry for them. If I had explained it clearly, perhaps this would not have happened.

So I'm going to go back, buy the shop back, and reopen a bakery. I'll find all my former employees, bring them back, and open shops all over Dayong! I'll carry forward my mother's craftsmanship!"

When she said this with such a bright and cheerful look, there was no trace of dullness or stupidity on her face.

She added, "My skills are not up to par yet, but my mother has promised me that she will let me go back when I have mastered them."

Haitao told me that the dim sum made by her mother was very famous there, so she had to learn it very well so as not to embarrass her mother.

Although A Niang always says it doesn't matter if it's not that good, Hai Tao believes she can do it.

I also think she can do it. She can even eat such unpalatable shortbread. She will succeed in everything she does.

—November 11, the ninth year of Tianji

(She said that when she was making the cowhide pastry, she thought of her father's shameless behavior in trying to get the shop. I said that's why it tasted so bad.)

The child and Haitao ate together all night, their stomachs were full, and they also took some snacks back.

Kidney Bean liked the bitter and salty snacks very much, and asked the child what the snacks were called.

The child recalled and told her: "This one is called the grandmother who is sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside and deceives children, and the other one is called the grandmother who has no words and can only scream and cry."

Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, Yundou immediately said with awe, "Tell me, who would give a snack a name like that?"

Child: "A sister who has been unlucky and whose father is also very annoying."

Sometimes people can become friends without meeting each other.

Yundou said, "When her shop opens in Suicheng, I will definitely go there to support it."

The child said, "I'm going too."

Although she may not like it, just for the name, she wants to try it more.

The two of them chatted for half the night.

The next day, the child gave Chen Dianshen some of his "father who was as crispy as cowhide."
