"Shopkeeper Hu, here are the recipes for three dishes: Mapo Tofu, Stir-fried Pork Belly with Chili Peppers, and Spicy Boiled Fish. Please keep them safe. I'll deliver the chilies on time in two weeks. I'm giving you this bag of dried chilies to promote your new dishes and test customer reactions. You can increase the quantity in two weeks."

"Thank you very much, Miss Hua! I hope that if you have new dishes in the future, you can bring them to us for cooperation!"

"Can."

After signing the contract with Manager Hu and Manager Hu going to the county government to stamp it, Hua Qingcheng put the contract and the three hundred taels of silver note for selling the recipe into her arms and left Fengmanlou in a good mood.

Remembering that she had bought gifts for all of her husbands except Si Chengfeng, Hua Qingcheng went to a shop specializing in men's accessories. Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Hua Qingcheng finally chose a silk cloth folding fan with a painting of ink bamboo.

Putting the folding fan in her arms, Hua Qingcheng came to Chengfeng Villa on Yunxi Street. She hadn't seen Si Chengfeng for a while, and the thought of meeting that elegant and handsome man soon filled her heart with anticipation.

“Knock knock knock~”

Hua Qingcheng knocked on the gate of Chengfeng Villa. The person who opened the door was the same skinny guy as before, but he looked a little listless and his eyes were slightly red.

"Miss Qingcheng?"

"Come in."

Skinny Monkey had been specifically warned by Si Chengfeng before, but when he saw Hua Qingcheng, he let her go without being allowed to stop him.

"Is your young master here?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Hua. The young master..."

"What happened to him?"

Seeing the skinny monkey who seemed to be hesitant to speak, Hua Qingcheng suddenly became nervous, wondering if he had another cold attack.

"Si Chengfeng! Si Chengfeng!"

Hua Qingcheng pushed the skinny monkey aside and was about to run towards Si Chengfeng's yard, but was stopped by someone behind her.

"Young Master, he's fine. It's... it's the old man. The old man passed away... Young Master returned to the General's Mansion in the capital a few days ago to attend the funeral..."

After the skinny monkey finished speaking, he couldn't help crying.

Hua Qingcheng felt a little uncomfortable watching the tall and strong man crying in front of her.

Si Chengfeng...

I don't know how he is doing now...

That man with such an unfortunate fate, who had finally met the Feng family who treated him well, must have been so heartbroken when he suddenly lost his loving grandfather, and yet he knew nothing about it...
