"Young Master Lin, here you go!"
Ruan Meng handed Sun Chengen fifty copper coins through the car window.
Lin Qingyu had just noticed a carriage stop behind her, but she didn't expect it to be Ruan Meng.
He nodded slightly as a thank you, and extended his hand, his palm half an inch below Ruan Meng's.
Ruan Mengsong let go, and Lin Qingyu took the money, counted it, and handed it all to the old man.
"Your items are very good and worth the price. Please accept them!"
The old man's lips twitched, too grateful to know what to say. He clasped his hands together, clutching the money, and tried to bow to Lin Qingyu, but Lin Qingyu bowed to him instead.
Lin Qingyu frowned slightly, seemingly on the verge of losing patience. A Yuan, seeing this from the carriage behind, kindly reminded her:
"Grandpa, please accept this! There are many people coming and going here, and we're afraid our carriage might bump into you!"
The old man then walked to the side, bowed to Lin Qingyu, and left shakily.
Lin Qingyu turned around, looked at what she was holding, then looked at Ruan Meng, seemingly hesitant.
!
Ruan Meng felt embarrassed. Could it be that this was the correct order for viewing them?
Lin Qingyu definitely knew what was in her hand.
After seeing Ruan Meng's carriage, another carriage was waiting. Lin Qingyu seemed to remember seeing A Yuan when they were eating in Fengjia Village, but she couldn't remember his name.
Lin Qingyu asked calmly, "Where are you going, young lady? Will you stay a while? I need to go back and get some money."
Ruan Meng waved her hand, "No need."
After saying that, he prepared to leave, saying, "Want a ride?"
Lin Qingyu shook her head, waiting for Ruan Meng to answer the previous question.
Ruan Meng replied, "We're going to He's Restaurant."
Lin Qingyu raised her hand, held up the item wrapped in oil paper, and handed it to Ruan Meng.
"You bought this."
Ruan Meng reminded her.
But if he really sent money, I would definitely feel embarrassed to accept it.
Ruan Meng recognized this item. Just now, through the window, she estimated its value at about fifty coins based on the quantity, and then handed it to Lin Qingyu for fifty copper coins.
"I bought something useless; I don't know how to use it."
If not prepared properly, it will be very fishy, and if the pieces are too small, they won't be very tasty.
Ruan Meng reminded her, "It can be used in medicine."
Lin Qingyu shook her head and offered no further explanation.
Ruan Meng assumed that he found the preparation troublesome, so he simply gave it to her as an ingredient.
The carriage was blocking the main street, affecting pedestrian traffic, and many people passing by showed expressions of complaint.
The second and third brothers, hearing the two talking as if they were speaking in riddles, looked over curiously and asked Ruan Meng:
"Little sister, what is this?"
The third brother jumped down from the carriage shaft and went closer to take a look.
"These are called soft-shelled turtle eggs."
"Soft-shelled turtle?"
The second brother searched his memory, but couldn't recall ever seeing a soft-shelled turtle before. He then asked Ruan Meng, "What is a soft-shelled turtle?"
Ruan Meng chuckled lightly, "I'll tell you after we finish eating."
The third child seized on a key word, "Little sister, can we eat this?"
"Yes, it's very nutritious."
The third brother's eyes lit up.
Seeing this, Ruan Meng discussed with Lin Qingyu, "I'll accept the things, and you don't need to pay back the money. How about this, I'll borrow the kitchen of He Family Restaurant, and you can go back and invite Manager Du and Ji Qing to come and have a taste?"
Passersby complained again, and Lin Qingyu agreed.
Ruan Meng held the item in her hands. The second brother picked up one, only the size of a fingernail, with a pale yellow shell, and muttered to himself:
"Fish...fish eggs are this big, how big must this fish be? That's amazing!"
When the waiter saw A-Yuan, he trotted up to take the horse, and the other waiters went in to announce his arrival.
Manager Yu personally greeted them, and even He Cong stood in the backyard.
After receiving greetings from Sun Chengen, He Cong warmly welcomed them to a private room upstairs.
After Xiao Kai gave the order, he left A Yuan behind and, along with several other workers, carried the gifts into the carriage.
As Manager Yu ascended the steps, he explained, "The young master personally instructed us to prepare this. We were originally planning to send it over, but we happened to hear that the young master was coming, so we brought it back on the way."
"These ginseng were personally selected by the young master. One portion is for Miss Biao, and another portion is prepared for Miss Ruan's brother."
Ruan Meng and her two older brothers thanked her repeatedly upon hearing this.
After they were seated in the private room, before Ruan Meng could even speak, He Cong's attention was drawn to something Ruan Meng was holding.
If she were to bring it home, Ruan Meng wouldn't have hugged it, so she said:
"Miss Ruan, if I may ask, what is that you are holding in your hand?"
Even though he was very knowledgeable, this was the first time He Cong had ever seen anything like it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Yu showed an awkward expression. It was the first time Ruan Meng had seen Manager Yu so embarrassed, so she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Haha, you bastard!"
