"That's right, sigh, I should have bought more yesterday, who knew it would be so effective." The person in front was extremely regretful: "I heard that this medicine was prescribed by the boss at the request of Doctor Nan based on everyone's common ailments, which is almost the same as seeing Doctor Nan directly."
You should know that although Doctor Nan is in the prefectural city, it's practically impossible for him to treat you unless you're... about to meet your maker.
"Oh my god, no wonder I felt better after eating two." The man was also filled with regret: "Hopefully there will still be some left when it's our turn."
As more and more people learned about the drug's effects, the queue grew longer and longer.
Rong Bai was making so much money inside that his hands were sore from counting it.
At the other end of the street, Luo Xi and Chu Zhe gazed at this direction from afar.
"Tsk, no matter the era, when something new comes out, it's always snapped up by everyone." She clicked her tongue.
"That's because of your irresistible charm, Captain," Chu Zhe teased. "Don't you know that everyone only bought them at the beginning to save face for you?"
Luo Xi rolled her eyes at him and didn't respond: "Come on, let's take a look around. I haven't had a proper chance to explore the city since we moved here."
All the workshops over there are back on track, and Chu Zhe isn't as busy now, so he has no objections and just considers it a trip to relax.
To be honest, although the rainfall in Nanyue County is still pitifully scarce, with only two light drizzles this year that barely wet the ground, the prefectural city doesn't look like it's facing any disaster at all.
The streets were packed with people, filled with shouts and hawking, and there were even people performing acrobatics and strolling around, which truly allowed Rosie to experience the fun of shopping before the apocalypse.
"Captain, to be honest, how do you feel about seeing Nanyue County develop into this place under your leadership?" Chu Zhe asked.
Without turning her head, Rosie said, "I don't feel anything."
However, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes had unconsciously curved upwards.
"Stubborn to the end!" Chu Zhe smiled.
Suddenly, Rose quickened her pace and ran in one direction.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Chu Zhe quickly caught up, only to find Luo Xi smiling as she stopped at a familiar stall, and he immediately smiled as well.
"This is... a jianbing guozi?"
Are people actually selling them?
"You have a good eye, sir." The stall owner was a young man who enthusiastically introduced the stall to the crowd as people gathered around.
"Thanks to the head of the household." He cupped his hands in the direction of the prefectural governor's mansion and said proudly, "I learned this skill at the academy, and now I'm the only one on this street. Would you like to try a set?"
"Let me tell you, this is the boss's favorite food. If you two eat it, you'll definitely become as good-looking and smart as the boss."
Loxi: "..."
I raised my hand and touched my left cheek, then touched my right cheek. It was definitely me.
She was speechless: "Have you ever seen the boss? He's good-looking and smart too."
Luo Xi was so busy when she arrived in the capital that she didn't have time to wander around.
"Of course." The young boss patted his chest proudly: "Although the girl looks good, she's still a bit inferior to the boss."
"So, I suggest you eat a few more of the big boss's favorite pancakes, and tomorrow your appearance and brain will be just like the big boss's."
Loxi: "..."
So, should she be kind enough to take a bite out of each pancake, so that his business can prosper even more?
Chu Zhe couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, boss, we understand. Make us two portions, so we can see what this boss's favorite pancake tastes like."
As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Rosie.
Rosie was completely speechless.
The boss was overjoyed: "Great job, sir! You have excellent taste."
While he was quickly making pancakes and cracking eggs, he started bragging again. Anyone who didn't know better would think that these pancakes were celestial cakes from heaven, and that eating them would make you ascend to heaven.
When Luo Xi got the cookies, they suddenly lost their appeal: "What is this?!"
"Chu Zhe, you better remember this guy. When we get back, I'm going to have someone come and collect the endorsement fee."
Chu Zhe suppressed his laughter and was about to speak when another hawking sound came from the side.
"Sirs, my fried golden bars were invented by the boss himself. Eating them will bring you promotion and wealth. They're much more substantial than his pancakes. Would you two like a serving?"
Just as Luo Xi was about to take a bite of the biscuit, she couldn't bring herself to do it anymore.
Fried golden bars?
How come she doesn't remember writing this in her cooking textbook?
Luo Xi looked at Chu Zhe: Did you do this?
Chu Zhe shook his head.
The two had no choice but to walk over, but when they saw what was in the pot...
"Fry potatoes, fine. Why fry golden bars? Boss, are you trying to scam me?" Luo Xi said sternly.
"Hehe..." The shopkeeper scratched his head and said in a low voice, "Sir, you don't understand, do you?"
"Fried potatoes are no match for the Boss's illustrious reputation; fried golden bars are much more impressive."
He craned his neck: "Gentlemen, would you like to try some?"
Loxi: "..."
So it was her fault again.
"Fine!" he said, his voice tinged with resentment.
The boss immediately beamed with joy. See? As long as you mention the boss, business is guaranteed to be done.
Now that's great. Seeing that Luo Xi and his companion bought food from two different places related to the Big Boss, the street vendors sensed an opportunity. Whenever the two passed by, they would start promoting their food from afar, regardless of whether it was something they had learned in the academy.
They were all incredibly eloquent, and the head of the gang was practically being praised to the skies.
Luo Xi was exasperated, so he simply waved his hand and tossed over a coin: "Buy! Ten of each kind."
However, they didn't eat it themselves, but had it delivered to the homes of Rong Bai, Yin Li, and others, including the Nine Strings Guard Minister.
Don't these kids always finish all the snacks on the table whenever they come to her study?
This is perfect!
But then the vendors realized something was wrong.
The owners of these mansions are currently the boss's favorites, so... the only one who can send them gifts and have them accepted is... the boss!
All the vendors were stunned: "Boss, the big boss?!?"
"We're doomed, we're doomed. We've been bragging to the point of being a complete idiot, cough, boss himself, we're dead."
"I don't think it's that bad." The jianbing vendor stroked his chin. "If the boss really wanted to make things difficult for us, he would have already reacted. Why would he still buy so many? I think..."
"She was actually quite happy. I heard a story from a storyteller about an emperor in the previous dynasty who liked to disguise himself as a commoner and tour the countryside to hear others talk about his great achievements."
"Who knows, maybe that's just how the boss is." He looked like he knew everything.
The others agreed.
"Alright, next time the boss comes, we'll still praise her, and pretend we don't know who she is."
Luo Xi had no idea what those people were thinking. She had been shopping all the way but hadn't eaten a single thing. She was starving.
"No, this time I need to find a place that doesn't exaggerate and not make a fuss about food."
