The sour plum soup is dark and semi-thick. If you stir it with a spoon, you can even pull it into threads.
Before I even drink it, I can smell a sweet and sour taste, and there's a hint of coolness coming from it, which shows that it's been chilled.
After taking a sip, the cool, sweet and refreshing taste made him sigh in comfort.
With a big, crispy and sweet piece of watermelon, he felt that his life was complete!
* After delivering holiday gifts to several families, Qianwu took the gifts they gave him in return and hurried back without stopping, fearing that he would miss lunch.
Miss Shen said that she would prepare something delicious for lunch, and if he didn’t get to eat it, he would be so depressed!
When he was about to leave the city gate, a man on horseback came galloping up from behind, shouting as he ran: "Brother Qianwu, wait! Brother Qianwu——"
This man was none other than Xie Zhenlin, the dissolute and playboy son of the city lord Xie Yun.
Last night, he stayed out until late at night as usual and slept until noon. Even though Xie Yun knew her son's bad behavior, she still couldn't help being mad at him, so she ordered that no food be prepared for the young master except for the main meal! I told you to sleep so late and miss breakfast and still want to have food? No way! The city lord's wife also agreed with this.
So when Xie Zhenlin finally got up from the bed, he went to the dining room with a sleepy face and waited for the maid to bring him food. However, he waited for a long time but got nothing. When he asked, he found out that his father didn't even give him any food.
Xie Zhenlin was also in the wrong and did not dare to go to Xie Yun to argue, so he just wandered around looking for food.
He happened to see his mother instructing people to put away the holiday gifts that others had sent.
Festival gift? There should be something to eat, right? He immediately became excited, rushed forward at lightning speed, snatched the box of mooncakes, opened it, grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth.
After taking a bite, I was immediately amazed at how delicious it was.
What kind of divine food is this pancake? How can it be so delicious? Although he was very hungry, his tongue was very picky and he would not compromise unless it was delicious.
The city lord's wife, Mrs. Pei, saw that he looked like a starving ghost, and she wished she had never given birth to this son. "Mom, try it too, this cake is really delicious!"
Pei didn't take it seriously at first, but since her son had already brought the food to her mouth, she decided to have a taste of it reluctantly.
This taste——
Pei snatched the mooncake box from Xie Zhenlin and said, "Give it to me!"
When Xie Yun came in, he saw the mother and son chasing each other around the round table. Later he found out that the incident was caused by a box of moon cakes.
Suddenly I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Let me try it and see how delicious it is. I actually caused you and your son to fight."
Then, the city lord also joined the scramble.
There were only so many mooncakes in a box, and they were so small that they were quickly divided up among the three of them.
"Who sent this mooncake?" Xie Yun asked.
"The one sent by Shen Yizhi, Doctor Shen, is the one who provided you with the flowers," said Mrs. Pei.
"No wonder. Zhenlin, hurry up and catch up with him on horseback to see if Brother Qianwu has left the city. If not, catch up with him and ask if you can buy some mooncakes from Miss Shen. The more the better."
So, there was a scene where Xie Zhenlin rode a horse and chased Qian Wu.
Qian Wu brought the people back to Lijiazhuang. When passing by the thatched pavilion, he saw an old man sitting inside and secretly paid attention to him.
"Mr. Xie, please go sit in the thatched pavilion over there and wait for a while. I will go in and ask my daughter."
Xie Zhenlin didn't feel he was being neglected. "Okay, go ahead." He walked towards the thatched pavilion, fanning himself.
After entering, he also said hello to Luo Yaoyao inside.
The two of them even started chatting.
When Qian Wu came out to invite Xie Zhenlin in, Luo Yaoyao had already found out where Xie Zhenlin lived, how old he was, and what he was doing here.
Xie Zhenlin didn't feel that he had revealed his true colors at all. He even felt that he had a great time chatting with the old man. When he walked out of the pavilion, he waved his hand at him and said, "Father-in-law, next time I have a chance, I will invite you to perform at the City Lord's Mansion."
"Okay, thank you very much for your visit, sir." Luo Yaoyao agreed in a serious manner.
Once you enter the yard, Xie Zhenlin will give you all sorts of novel surprises, needless to say; almost everyone who comes in will have this experience.
When he arrived in front of Shen Yizhi, he first introduced himself enthusiastically, and then praised her from beginning to end, saying how she was so beautiful that she could make fishes sink to the bottom of their waters, geese fall, the moon hide in shame, and flowers shame, and how she could bring people back to life... He praised her for a full quarter of an hour without repeating himself.
Shen Yizhi: “…”
After that, perhaps he felt thirsty, so after taking a few sips of tea, he expressed his gratitude for her holiday gift and praised the mooncakes highly, using less than a thousand words of praise.
Shen Yizhi originally did not have much good feelings towards this dandy boy. After all, he almost ruined Baoluo's innocence at the last gathering of beauties. But now it seems that although this guy is a bit overindulgent, he has clear eyes and is not a lewd or evil person.
On the contrary, it was quite interesting. I would never admit that I was flattered by his praise.
Shen Yizhi said to Kun San: "Bring a plate of mooncakes."
The mooncakes were served, and Xie Zhenlin didn't hesitate to eat two on the spot. His expression of enjoyment made Shen Yizi a little skeptical. Are they really that delicious?
In fact, she was used to eating all kinds of delicious food produced in the space, and her taste had become picky, so she felt that the mooncakes made with ingredients from outside, although delicious, were not amazing to her.
As a result, people underestimated the impact her food would have on ordinary people.
Shen Yizhi already knew Xie Zhenlin's purpose - he came to buy mooncakes from her, so she asked, "How many would you like to buy, Mr. Xie? I only have about 600 left, and I was planning to keep them for later consumption, but since Mr. Xie wants to buy some, I can give some to you."
Xie Zhenlin scratched his face with his fingers and said a little embarrassedly: "Miss Shen, the mooncakes you make are so delicious, can I buy them all? Money is not a problem, just name a price."
Being praised for his delicious food, Shen Yizhi felt very happy. "Do you want so many mooncakes for yourself or for your family?"
Originally, Xie Zhenlin was asked by his father to come here to buy mooncakes. Of course, he also wanted to eat some, but on the way here, he came up with a great idea.
If you sell such delicious mooncakes, you should be able to make a lot of money, right?
He is the son of the City Lord's Mansion, but he does not have autonomy over his own finances. According to his father, the City Lord's Mansion's property will not be handed over to him before he gets married, so he can forget about getting his hands on large sums of money.
He has no money, and his parents often deduct his monthly allowance from him. It makes me cry just thinking about it.
