In fact, his superior, Lord Zhao, who came from the Duke of Zhao's mansion and had served as a garrison on the northern front, only tasted a sip of the milk tea he handed over and said, "Not bad."
The so-called "explicably delicious" was just an exaggeration on his part, something he said on purpose to please Xue Linglong.
But it turned out that just one compliment was not enough, Xue Linglong insisted that he give a reason for the compliment!
He had no choice but to continue making up this lie...
Mr. Zhao's original words were, "Although this milk tea is novel, it is not as fragrant as the milk tea made by the nomads in the north. It is only sweet but lacks freshness. Especially this thing called pearls, it is very difficult to chew!"
Chen Feng knew that if he conveyed these words to Xue Linglong, the other party would definitely be angry.
It would be better to beautify it a little so that she would be less angry while pregnant!
Anyway, he thought pearl milk tea tasted good. Although he had never tasted the authentic milk tea cooked by northern herdsmen as mentioned by Mr. Zhao, he had drunk fresh goat's milk, which was much better than Xue Linglong's! What he made up is not all nonsense...
"I told you this bubble tea is going to be popular!"
Xue Linglong didn't notice the evasive look in Chen Feng's eyes. She smiled happily, holding Chen Feng's hand and muttering happily, "When the time comes, we'll open a separate milk tea shop, the first one on the corner of the street, so that everyone who walks along this street can't help but hold a cup in their hands."
"There are also fried chicken shops, hamburger shops, spicy hot pot shops... It would be best if they were all on the same street. Even if they can't be next to each other, they shouldn't be too far apart, so that other shops don't take advantage of our popularity."
Xue Linglong couldn't help but feel a little regretful as she spoke. It was a pity that the shops on that entire street were gone, otherwise why would she have to worry about others taking advantage of her? The entire street belongs to her, and the popularity gathered on the street also belongs to her!
It is not easy to find a whole street of shops now. In the capital, even in the area where people in the south of the city live, where can you easily buy a shop? If the business wasn't really going to go anywhere, who would sell a good shop?
After feeling a little regretful, Xue Linglong quickly cheered up again.
Well, let others take advantage of it.
Just think of it as doing good deeds for the baby in her belly!
"My dear, you also think that these foods will definitely be loved by the people in the capital and will definitely sell well, right?"
Seeing Chen Feng nodding repeatedly, Xue Linglong's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. "My husband, when will you go and tell my mother-in-law to transfer the store owned by the Marquis' Mansion to me?"
"It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. It just so happens that today the shift ends early and mother-in-law hasn't had dinner yet. You can go over and talk to her now!"
…
"What? Hand over all the shops in the Jinyang Marquis' Mansion to Xue family to manage?"
In the main courtyard of the Jinyang Marquis's mansion, the Marquis' wife Qin's voice suddenly rose, and as she spoke, anger rose in her eyes.
"Isn't this what Xue asked you to tell me?"
Qin stared at Chen Feng with a look of dismay, "Feng'er, why didn't I think you were such a weak person before? What kind of magic potion did Xue feed you? Why do you do whatever she says?"
“Mother, I…” Chen Feng was about to defend himself and Xue Linglong.
Qin interrupted her with a wave of her hand, "Don't explain that to me."
"Mother, let me ask you, what was the situation in our mansion before, and what was the situation after Mrs. Xue came?"
"Let's not talk about the fire in Zhufeng Courtyard and the missing dowry of Mrs. Wei, let's talk about the missing treasures in our storehouse. Can you guarantee that Mrs. Xue has nothing to do with it?"
"That was the wealth of several generations in our mansion! Now all the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are gone, and only these store deeds and land deeds that we got back from the government with great difficulty are left, and you are handing them over to your daughter-in-law who has no background."
"You want Han Niang's heart!"
Qin spoke with tears in her eyes, which made Shen Feng speechless.
If he forced his mother to hand over the shop in the Marquis' Mansion to Xue Linglong, he would be extremely unfilial!
"Mother, let's forget about this..."
"That's right." Qin nodded with satisfaction, and a motherly smile reappeared on her face. "It's time for dinner now, so stay and have dinner before going back. Otherwise, Xue will make a scene with you, and you won't be able to have dinner in peace."
"Mother is still considerate of Feng'er." Shen Feng looked touched.
Qin ordered the dishes to be served, and first gave Shen Feng a piece of his favorite roasted meat with chopsticks.
When eating at Qin's house, Shen Feng didn't have to think of ways to make Qin happy. The table was full of his favorite dishes, and he was quite satisfied with the meal.
Feeling the evening breeze and touching my belly, I walked all the way back to Qifengyuan.
Seeing him coming back, Xue Linglong couldn't wait to ask, "How's it going? Is it done?"
The smile on Shen Feng's face suddenly faltered.
As soon as he lowered his head to avoid his gaze, Xue Linglong knew something was wrong. Her face darkened instantly and she asked, "She doesn't agree?"
"Why would she disagree? These are all my ideas for making money. The money I earn will go to your Jinyang Marquis Mansion!"
"What do you mean by 'she' or 'her'? She's my mother and now your mother too. Please speak with respect!" Chen Feng was also annoyed. Thinking of his mother's earnest instructions just now, he felt that the person in front of him was more and more unreasonable. He waved his sleeves, left a sentence "I can't talk to you", and turned to leave Qifengyuan.
Looking at his back which was half a meter wider than before, and remembering his face which was much rounder than before when he spoke to her in a cold voice just now, Xue Linglong was suddenly stunned.
There was a moment of confusion in his eyes.
For the first time, I felt truly regretful.
What on earth is she trying to achieve?
…
In the desert.
No one knew how long they had been walking. At first, everyone was still remembering the days, but later they could only remember that they had been walking in the dust for more than a month.
In the dullness of day after day, you always have to find some fun.
Chen Yan, who was walking in the front, turned around and joked, "Do you think the people in the Northwest countries look different from us?"
Hearing his deliberately exaggerated tone, Zou Yun rolled his eyes speechlessly, "What's the difference? It's still two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, right?"
"That's right..." Chen Yan smacked his lips.
Before he turned around, he saw the people in the team behind him all looking straight ahead, their eyes focused on the same place.
Seeing this, he quickly turned around and looked towards the front of the team.
In the midst of the dust, a group of riders on horses with double humps that looked like horses were approaching here.
Those people only have two eyes, one nose and one mouth, but they have a head full of brown hair. They are really different from the Dayong people!
