Chapter 70 A Master Fell from the Sky
Xu Niannian and her family staggered around packing their things, covered in dust.
Seeing the bright and beautiful Wen Zhu and then comparing her own miserable state, Xu Niannian could only grit her teeth and could do nothing.
"Don't think you're superior just because you're like that! Just wait!"
Wen Zhu, who was inexplicably provoked: ...
Are you crazy?
Wen Zhu smiled. It seemed that someone must have had something wrong with the food, which was why the stall was smashed. Thinking of Gu Zhenbei who was still lying in the hospital, it was easy to understand why.
So Wen Zhu smiled and said to her.
"If your mother and your brother were poisoned to death, you would be the biggest suspect."
Xu Niannian's eyes widened. How could she know what he was thinking?! She had clearly just walked over!
Under Wen Zhu's gaze, Xu Niannian almost ran away.
Wen Zhu was actually just guessing. If Xu Niannian knew that sprouted potatoes were poisonous, she would probably want to poison her brother. Unexpectedly, it came out as soon as it exploded. Did she really want to do it?
Wen Zhu walked to Jiang Qin's stall, and Jiang Qin briefly told him what had happened.
Wen Zhu immediately thought of Gu Zhenbei who was still lying in the hospital, and seemed to understand something.
"Mom, these potatoes have been screened, so it's okay."
Jiang Qin nodded, "Of course Mom knows. It's because they're making a fuss over there that we have fewer customers here."
Wen Zhu took out the business license and health certificate that his mother had kept carefully in the box and placed them in the most conspicuous place.
"We have a business license and health certificate, which are certified by the government. You can take a look. And our raw materials are also here, so you can buy with confidence!"
As he said this, he dragged out the spare potatoes and displayed them on the spot.
Qian Xusen immediately took out the money and said, "I want two! It's rare that I don't have to queue. Since I came first, you can serve me first. No one is allowed to snatch them from me. These are the most delicious potatoes I've ever eaten! Absolutely the best! I smelled them and came here right after school."
Jiang Qin wanted to refuse the money, but when she saw Qian Xusen's look, she immediately understood his good intentions and took the money with a smile, "Okay, Auntie will definitely fill it up for you!"
When some people saw that this shop had government certificates and the raw materials were visible, some people jumped the queue and bought first. Then those who were still hesitant also came here.
They originally came to buy the rice-crust potatoes from this store because of its reputation, but they didn't expect to have bought from the wrong store before, which is why so many problems happened.
Wen Zhu's stall became a hot business instantly.
As more people came, the pre-made semi-finished products were not enough, so Wen Zhu hurried over to help and prepare that bag in advance.
The stall was bustling with activity, and Wen Zhu accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the back of the line.
Master?
The movement of scraping potatoes in her hands slowly stopped, and she was stunned.
Wen Zhu stared blankly at the little old man who was peeking, sniffing hard, raising his eyebrows and glaring, and couldn't wait to eat.
After telling my mother I was busy, I put down my tools and shook off the potato peels from my hands. Feeling they were still a little dirty, I washed them with water and wiped them clean. Then, somewhat nervously, I ran towards the figure.
The old man was at the very end of the team, and if he hadn't looked around, he wouldn't have been visible at all.
Wen Zhu trotted over and finally stood in front of him.
She stared at him from front to back, left to right, again and again, with tears in her eyes.
He has a mole behind his ear, is short, greedy, and likes to sniff at scents. He also has a faint herbal odor.
It’s confirmed, this is her master!
Wen Zhu didn't care how she came to this world. She only knew that the master who raised her and taught her all the skills had appeared before her.
She could no longer suppress her inner anxiety and ecstasy, and hugged the old man's arms, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Master, I miss you so much. I... I thought I would never see you again! I don't want your merits anymore, I... I just want Master to live well!"
Wen Zhu cried uncontrollably. Her master, whom she thought she would never see again, suddenly appeared from the sky. She could not control her emotions and only knew to hold him tightly before thinking about other things, fearing that in the blink of an eye, it would all be an illusion.
The people at the back of the team turned around to watch the excitement.
The old man immediately pulled Wen Zhu's arm.
"Ah, ah, ah, young lady, it's not the right way to recognize a random master! Do we know each other?"
Wen Zhu raised her head, tears still lingering on her eyelashes, filled with confusion and astonishment. Master didn't even recognize her. Had he lost his memory? Or had she truly recognized the wrong person? Was this just some random person who looked exactly like Master?
She pulled the man aside and tried to explain.
"It's me. I'm Xiao Zhuzi. When I was six or seven years old and this tall, you took me home to be your apprentice. You taught me all the medical skills. Could I have been wrong?"
When the old man heard what the girl said, he began to doubt himself. Could it be that he really had an apprentice, but he had forgotten about it?
After thinking about it, he shook his head.
"Miss, I do have a few apprentices, but they are all in their twenties or thirties. I don't really have an apprentice as old as you. You must have recognized the wrong person."
Wen Zhu still didn't believe it and immediately asked, "Is your name Wen Yun?"
The old man nodded. "I wouldn't say I'm famous, but I'm somewhat well-known in the industry. It's not surprising to know my name."
"Do you like to eat all kinds of food, especially roast chicken, and prefer garlic to onions?"
The old man nodded.
"I like strong tea the most."
The old man continued to nod, with shock in his eyes.
Wen Zhu continued to ask, "Every time you research a new drug, you like to try it yourself first. Every time you swear that you will never try it yourself again, but in fact, as long as the poison doesn't kill you, you will dare to do it next time! Am I right?"
The old man was shocked. This person knew him better than his disciples did! Could it be that he really had a disciple but didn't remember him? That shouldn't be the case.
Wen Zhu's list of characteristics, preferences, and habits left the old man stunned. Then he found a reasonable explanation.
"You, you, you won't snoop into my life, will you? I know that I have excellent medical skills and a great reputation, and countless people want to become my disciples. But it's wrong for you to do this. Besides, I don't accept just anyone as my disciple. It's not that easy to become my disciple."
As he spoke, his nose twitched.
I'm really greedy.
Wen Zhu felt that this old man who looked exactly like his master was obviously his master, but for some reason he had completely forgotten about him.
But she had to find a way to keep him first, otherwise if he left, she would have no chance to find the answer slowly in the future.
"You are my master. Whether you remember it or not, I am your apprentice."
The old man glanced at the snack stand and said, "It's not impossible to become my disciple. The first step is to see your sincerity. I want to eat that."
Wen Zhu agreed immediately, fearing that he would regret it. "Okay. I know. No chopped green onions, but garlic leaves. Slightly spicy, and a little crispy."
As he said this, he started to run towards the stall, but after taking two steps he turned back.
"No, you have to come with me. What if you run away?"
The old man blew his beard and glared, "Am I that kind of person?"
Wen Zhu didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
"Isn't it?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go over too. This little girl is really... I, Old Man Wen, always keep my word."
After saying that, he walked towards the snack stand with his hands behind his back.
Wen Zhu looked at him with a smile, but couldn't help crying. Then she wiped her tears and quickly followed him.
