Chapter 122
Something is not right Money is not something that can be given away casually. For Xing'an, let alone Miss Su, Miss Li, or Miss Tang, he would never give away the money he had saved with great effort!
Xing'an was thinking so much that he was lost in thought on the way to pour He Yanxiu a cup of hot tea.
As a result, he almost bumped into Shui Xing, the little maid who was sent from the backyard to serve Su Yujin.
"I'm sorry." Xing'an apologized hurriedly. When he saw that it was Shuixing, the prettiest of the maids, he asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Your eyes are swollen. What wrongs have you suffered?"
Shui Xing Chong blessed Xing'an.
Originally she was serving in the courtyard, and had seen Xing'an quite often during this period. Xing'an was lively and liked to joke, so the maids were not reserved with him.
Shui Xing also wiped her red eyes with a handkerchief at this time, "I lost a hairpin for no reason, and I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked. I bought it with the money I saved for half a year."
When talking about this matter, Shui Xing felt more and more aggrieved, and tears fell down her face.
Seeing Shui Xing crying so sadly, Xing An hurriedly said, "I thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a lost hairpin. It just so happens that I got some money from the Second Master today, so I'll buy you a hairpin. Will you be happy?"
"Really?" Shui Xing was surprised and happy when she heard this.
"Of course it's true. Why would I joke with you about this? Besides, it's not hundreds or thousands of taels of silver. I'm just joking with you. It's just a few taels of silver. Why should I make fun of you?"
As Xing'an spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into Shuixing's pocket, "Now you should finally feel relieved."
Shui Xing burst into laughter, but she was quite hesitant when weighing the silver. After thinking for a while, she returned the silver and said, "I still can't accept it..."
"Why not?" Xing'an said with a smile, "We have been together for such a long time, it is fate. You are younger than me, so I will treat you as my sister. Can't your brother buy you a hairpin?"
"Or are you afraid that I might have some plans against you, and you don't dare to take the money to buy the hairpin?"
When saying this, Xing'an winked and made eyes, as if he was joking, which made Shui Xing giggle and cover her face with a handkerchief. "If that's the case, then I'll be thick-skinned enough to accept it?"
"Take it, take it, don't cry anymore in the future, it's ugly to cry, it's better to smile now." Xing'an said with a smile, "Okay, you go and get busy, I still have to go and serve a cup of hot tea to the Second Master."
"Then you go ahead." Shui Xing smiled and left in small steps.
Looking at Shui Xing's cheerful steps as she walked away, Xing'an scratched his head and chuckled.
This silly girl looks really pretty when she is happy.
It's quite comfortable to spend these few taels of silver to buy something happy.
It just seems like something is not right...
Here, Su Yujin was busy in the small kitchen for half an hour before bringing the grilled fish to the table.
The whole fish is cut open from the middle and placed intact on the baking tray. The sauce is rich and fragrant after boiling. The fish in the baking tray is constantly heated, and the fish meat and sauce are fully blended. Every bite feels very tasty, but this wonderful taste does not conceal the fragrance of the fish itself.
There are a lot of side dishes, including chewy and elastic fish balls, crispy lotus root slices, bean curd sheets with a strong bean flavor, and some refreshing vegetables, so you won’t feel that the grilled fish is too boring when eating it.
Moreover, the taste of this grilled fish is not amazing at the first bite and then becomes increasingly mediocre as you eat more and more. Instead, the first bite tastes excellent, and the longer it is stewed on charcoal fire, the more flavorful the grilled fish becomes and the more delicious it tastes.
Paired with the crispy sesame cakes made by Su Yujin...
After He Yanxiu finished eating the grilled fish, he felt that his belt was a little tight.
So after eating, he didn't stay at Su Yujin's place for too long, but hurried back to his room to relax.
Even before going to bed at night, some people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. They had to walk in the yard for a long time to digest their food before going to bed.
The next day, Xing'an bought brushes, ink, paint, rice paper and other things needed for painting as instructed by He Yanxiu, and placed them on the desk in He Yanxiu's room.
Painting a picture is an energy-consuming and time-consuming task. He Yanxiu has to deal with many affairs on weekdays, so he has to find time to paint in his spare time.
In order to prevent others from knowing that He Yanxiu was painting, he always closed the door and announced to the outside world that he had important matters to deal with and outsiders were not allowed to enter.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, He Yanxiu became a dedicated person who was busy with affairs all day long and had no time to even take a rest.
Especially Su Yujin.
Whenever he saw Xing'an guarding the door, he knew that He Yanxiu was busy with extra things besides the affairs he handled in the government office.
No wonder the Second Master was able to hold a high-ranking official position at such a young age and was able to rise rapidly in his career. I think that in addition to his family background, it has more to do with the Second Master's diligence.
Hardworking people are often respected and loved. Su Yujin was like this at this moment. She felt very distressed and tried every way to make many delicious dishes for He Yanxiu.
Stir-fried lamb, stir-fried assorted vegetables, dry-pot shrimp, lettuce with sauce, stewed lotus root and pork ribs, braised eggplant, eight-treasure bean curd bag, pork tripe and chicken, stewed eight delicacies...
He Yanxiu was very satisfied with the meal and felt that his decision to paint was a wise one.
Since the first Chuan Chuan Xiang restaurant opened, Su Yujin heard that business was booming and the place was full of customers every day. Even when the weather was bad, it was still the shop with the best business on the entire street.
After Su Yujin heard this, she was very happy.
After all, if the first Chuan Chuan Xiang restaurant does good business, then the second, third, and even the fiftieth Chuan Chuan Xiang restaurant will also do very good business, and she can achieve financial freedom.
It seems that after returning to Qinghe County, I will have to burn incense and pray from time to time, hoping that these branches will open smoothly one by one.
After a few more busy days, Su Yujin prepared the first batch of pills for He Yanxiu.
The pills are about the size of soybeans and should be taken three times a day, one pill each time.
These pills are all packed in porcelain bottles, each bottle contains nine pills, which is enough for three days.
Su Yujin produced seven bottles in the first batch and gave five of them to He Yanxiu.
"These porcelain bottles are all numbered from one to five. Second Master starts from the first bottle when he eats. It is convenient for memory and calculation. These porcelain bottles are sealed with wax and can be stored for a long time. Just don't put them in a place that is too hot."
The weather was not hot enough at this time, but He Yanxiu had to go into the mountains often to check on the copper smelting conditions, and he would probably be exposed to extremely high-temperature furnaces frequently. Su Yujin thought it would be a good idea to remind him.
Xingan: Something is not right.
He Yanxiu: If something is wrong, it is right
