Chapter 149: Escape and Return Home
Shopkeeper Sun was trembling beside him because he knew that Jiang Wan was holding his teacup.
What's going on? Why do I feel like she is very dissatisfied with the young master?
Song Wenhui also noticed something was wrong and gently pulled Jiang Wan in front of her to protect her.
Jiang Wan resisted the urge to pour another cup of tea and said with a fake smile, "Young Master, your clothes are wet. Go change them quickly. They look very dirty."
A wealthy family that is a bit more particular will change their clothes when they get wet or dirty. But this young master seemed to be born with a thicker skin than others and just sat down.
"A little tea won't hurt, just fan yourself and that's it."
When he said this, his eyes were still fixed on Song Wenhui, but the next moment he met Jiang Wan's gaze, and his heart skipped a beat when she looked at him.
How could a little girl have such a strange look in her eyes? It feels like she sees through me...
He Mingkui felt inexplicably guilty, but he was so lustful that he really couldn't bear to leave the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Miss Jiang, you haven't introduced this lady yet."
"This is my aunt, Young Master. I see you are not much older than me, so just call her aunt."
"Hey~ (second voice), Miss Jiang, I am much older than you, I just look younger."
He Mingkui didn't understand the hidden meaning of Jiang Wan's words. He thought Jiang Wan was complimenting him on his youthful appearance, and raised one corner of his mouth in satisfaction.
Very greasy.
Before Jiang Wan could say anything else, the waiters came over with the dishes.
Except for the fragrant sauce chicken which takes a long time to cook and is not yet ready, the other three dishes have already been placed on the table.
Jiang Wan looked at the steaming Yippinxian and the large bowl of soup.
She didn't want to do anything at first, but the obscene man opposite kept looking at her aunt with disgusting eyes, and she couldn't help it.
"Young Master, let me help you serve the soup."
Jiang Wan looked obedient as she filled half a bowl of soup and brought it over.
Just as He Mingkui was about to compliment Jiang Wan, he felt his outstretched hand fall empty and the bowl of soup overturned.
The still hot soup fell directly onto his legs and between his legs, scalding him so much that he almost lost his mind and didn't know what to say.
"Young Master, why are you so careless? Is the soup bowl too hot? Manager Sun, help your Young Master to see a doctor!"
There was no sign of pretense on Jiang Wan's face, and the shopkeeper Sun immediately obeyed and helped the young master leave.
That’s perfect, I don’t have to treat you when I leave.
Shopkeeper Sun smiled secretly and helped the young master walk faster.
The person who polluted the air finally left, and Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the last dish was served.
Of course she had to eat the food she bought with her own money, but Jiang Wan was worried that the wretched man would come back and cause trouble soon, so she asked the kitchen to buy a food box, packed the food, plates and bowls together and took it home.
On the way, Song Wenhui couldn't help but give Jiang Wan a few words of advice.
"Wanwan, remember not to tell your uncle about what happened to us in Fengwei Restaurant today."
Jiang Wan thought about it and nodded. His uncle was a scholar, he couldn't be beaten or scolded. Telling him about this would only make him more upset.
And in the final analysis, the young master didn't do anything harassing in essence. He just had a malicious look and spoke frivolously. If he makes a fuss, it will only damage my aunt's reputation.
"Don't worry, Aunt. I promise I won't tell anyone."
Jiang Wan planned to ask her mother to make some self-defense medicine for her aunt to carry with her when she returned. If she was unlucky enough to run into that young master again, she would definitely let him drink a good pot of it.
But a thief can only steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. If there is any negligence and my aunt suffers, it will be too late to regret it then.
It would be best to find something for the young master to do...
The contract for Fengweilou's oyster sauce will expire this month, and when our company stops supplying it, Dongfuju should be able to snatch a large number of Fengweilou's customers.
I will then sell a few recipes from Dongfuju and guarantee that Fengweilou will be completely suppressed by Dongfuju.
When the owner of Fengweilou comes back, that creepy guy will definitely be chased away!
Jiang Wan kept this in mind and separated from her aunt when she reached the door of her home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw two large new stoves next to the kitchen. This guy built it much faster than building a house. It only took one day to build it according to the drawings.
It hasn't rained in the past two days, so the stove can be used.
Jiang Wan took all the things she bought to the pharmacy.
Apart from the medicinal herbs that A-niang needs to replenish, all the rest are things needed in the kitchen. However, these things cannot be placed in the kitchen and can only be placed in the pharmacy.
She bought a big bag of spices for making five-spice powder. This time she also found cumin, lemongrass, dill, moutan bark and other herbs that can be used as spices in the herbal medicine shop.
Worthy of mention are shiitake mushroom and moutan bark, both of which are spices with unique aroma and spicy taste. They are also not expensive, costing only about 200 wen per catty.
In a place where chili peppers are hard to find, these two spices can definitely make delicious food that will impress your eyes.
Jiang Wan carefully packed the spices and put them into A Niang's medicine cabinet. It would be easy for the smell to spread if they were placed in the cupboard, so it was better to put them in the medicine cabinet.
After collecting the spices, Jiang Wan took some of the spices she had picked out and prepared to go to the kitchen to make barbecue sauce. When she passed by Baozhu, she saw that her eyes were a little swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying.
"Baozhu, what's wrong with you?"
Baozhu forced a smile.
"I'm fine. I just heard some unpleasant news."
Jiang Wan was actually quite curious, but since Baozhu was crying, she decided not to ask for such news.
She didn't ask any more questions and went to the kitchen with the spices.
When you are in a bad mood, eating something delicious will definitely make you feel happier. It is a good opportunity to try out this newly built oven.
Jiang Wan rolled up his sleeves and prepared to use a mill to grind cumin, moutan bark and other spices into powder.
This job was a bit boring and she almost fell asleep while grinding.
Yin Huaixi came over to pour some water and was struck by how adorable her daughter looked.
She pinched her daughter's face and said with a smile, "You are not the kind of person who can take your time. Give it to Xiaohua and the others to help. It will be done in a few seconds."
Jiang Wan blinked and came to her senses.
Looking down at the grinder, I saw that the spices inside were coarse and fine, and were still a little far from being powdery.
Doing this job without anyone to talk to is so hypnotic. If her mother hadn't come, she would probably have fallen asleep.
Jiang Wan decided to listen to her mother and ask Baozhu and the others to help. There were not many patients in the pharmacy at the moment, so they shouldn't be very busy.
"By the way, mother, do you know why Baozhu is crying?"
Yin Huaixi really knows this.
"I heard that Qian Yue's sentence has come down and he will be beheaded in seven days."
Yin Huaixi couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body as she spoke.
Beheading, chopping off the head with a single click, just thinking about that scene is scary.
But Qian Yue got what he deserved.
