Chapter 151 You Are So Scary
Ah Xiang was speechless. This guy was really good at unraveling clues from the smallest details. "You're so scary."
Wen Zhenyi looked at her with a smile: "What's there to be afraid of? I just discovered some details."
Ah Xiang smiled and said, "But it's also thanks to you, otherwise the two countries would have gone to war."
"I just feel like I get along really well with Little Abu." Wen Zhenyi turned to look at the room where Little Abu lived. "When do we leave tomorrow?"
"Master and his men will arrive in the morning and leave by boat in the evening."
"Please tell them to come to my place for dinner this afternoon. This is what I promised Little Abu."
"I'll help you get there. I'll stay here tonight to protect the young master's safety."
"As you please." Wen Zhen threw a sachet to her: "To repel mosquitoes." After saying that, he went back to his room to sleep.
A Xiang looked down at the sachet in his hand, with an expression that was hard to describe.
The next day.
Wen Zhenyi and his team started working early in the morning. The owner of the tofu stall brought over soy milk, and this time there were two more buckets than before.
Ma Yinghe also said that she would send them one later, and the two of them thanked her happily.
The rice slurry was made yesterday. This morning, Wen Zhenyi was in the kitchen teaching Zhu Tao and the others how to make rice noodles. Pour the rice slurry into a large iron plate that had been customized previously, steam it in water for a while, take it out to cool, fold it into long strips and set it aside.
This process is not difficult. The four aunts will learn it after watching it once. There are many stoves in the kitchen, so it doesn’t take any time at all.
Wen Zhenyi taught them how to make rice cakes, and then started making hand-pulled pancakes with Ma Yinghe. This time, the hand-pulled pancakes contained various vegetables.
There are also bean sprouts, which were also sent by the owner of the tofu stall. The bean sprouts are blanched in water and set aside. There are also lettuce, shredded carrots, and of course beef sauce, poached eggs, etc.
These are all added based on customer needs, which makes it more diversified.
Wen Chengwen is responsible for frying the dough sticks.
Several children were responsible for putting the cut fried dough sticks together, pressing them with chopsticks, and then putting them aside.
Wen Chengwen picked up the dough, stretched it a little, and put it into the pot to fry it into fried dough sticks.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the children, who were working and swallowing their saliva, and found it a little funny: "Are you hungry?"
Hu Zi looked at the delicious food and said seriously, "I'm not hungry."
Ma Yinghe was amused by the children: "If you are hungry, then you are hungry. Why do you say you are not hungry? Ask your mother to get you whatever you want to eat."
Aunt Ding looked at the children and said, "This guy has only been here for a few days, and he's already full of meat. If he keeps eating, he'll become fat."
Wen Zhenyi likes these children very much. They can be naughty when they are being naughty, but they are also really sensible. After coming here, although they can only play in the yard, they all help with the work.
As long as it is something they can do, they will take the initiative to do it without being told by adults.
"Aren't children supposed to be a little fatter to be liked?"
Aunt You looked at her helplessly: "You just spoil them. As long as they want to eat, you will find ways to make it for them. When we are not looking, you will secretly feed them food."
Wen Zhenyi made a face at the children.
Several children were grinning so hard that their eyes and brows curved.
Ma Yinghe said, "Children are growing up. If you don't let them eat well, they will be more likely to get sick in the future." Then she looked at the children and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
The children were a little confused. They wanted to eat everything, but their stomachs were so small that they couldn't hold so much food.
Wen Zhenyi knew what they were thinking: "Mom, they want to eat everything, but their stomachs are so small."
Ma Yinghe looked at the children and said, "So what should we do?"
The children looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Finally, Wen Zhenyi came up with a solution: "I'll give you all one portion, and you can share it among yourselves. That way, you can all have everything."
"Okay, Sister Wen's method is the best."
Aunt You made a bowl of each dish for the children and asked them to wash their hands and eat in the yard.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door at the back of the shop.
The people in the store looked at each other.
Wen Chengwen looked at Wen Zhenyi: "Yiyi, have you ordered anything yet?"
Wen Zhenyi shook his head: "No."
"I'll go and take a look." Wen Chengwen took the fried dough sticks out of the pot and put them in a colander, then went out to open the door.
Standing outside the door were County Magistrate Lei, Town Mayor Meng, and Shen Hanxing.
Behind them stood two men and women with outstanding looks and temperament, and next to them stood an eight-year-old girl with the same outstanding looks and temperament.
Wen Chengwen was stunned when he saw them: "Lei County Magistrate, what are you doing?"
"Boss Wen, let's go inside and talk."
Wen Chengwen quickly made way for the door and let them into the backyard.
Several children in the backyard were eating happily, but when they saw so many people suddenly appear, they all stopped what they were doing.
When little Abu saw the person coming in, his chopsticks dropped and he stared blankly at the three people behind County Magistrate Lei.
The noise in the yard attracted everyone in the kitchen.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the three people with outstanding looks and understood.
The little girl looked around the yard, but couldn't see her brother. She became anxious: "Where is little Abu? Didn't he say he was here?"
"Sister." Little Abu looked at his parents and sister, his voice choked.
The little girl looked at the unfamiliar child in front of her with a frown. The voice was her brother's, but the appearance was wrong.
Shen Hanxing walked to Xiao Abu's side and glanced at Wen Zhenyi again.
Wen Zhenyi understood what he meant: "County Magistrate Lei, wait a moment." He then looked at Little Abu and said, "Little Abu, come with me."
Little Abu knew that his sister and the others didn’t recognize him, so he followed them into the room.
Shen Hanxing took out a small bottle from his arms and poured a few drops into the basin: “Xiao Abu, just wash your face.”
Little Abu obediently washed his face, and when he raised his head, his original appearance had been restored.
Wen Zhenyi wiped his face with a handkerchief: "Little Abu, please keep Brother Shen a secret!"
"Brother Shen said that it was his master who helped me draw it, and he went traveling."
Wen Zhenyi rubbed his head, took his hand and walked out.
When the little girl saw Little Abu appear again, she immediately ran over to protect him: "Little Abu."
"Sister." Little Abu smiled and looked at the two people who had already run over behind her: "Daddy, Mommy."
"Little Abu." The woman was holding little Abu with tears streaming down her face.
The man stood behind the woman, comforting her softly.
Wen Chengwen and Ma Yinghe were now filled with questions. Why had Little Abu's appearance suddenly changed? What was going on?
