【269】Liulichang Customized Glass



"Tsk tsk, that's a delicacy famous in all four countries. Grandpa eats it every time he goes there. Once he eats it, he will never forget it."

Ling Yuan narrowed her eyes, "Oh? Grandpa Hei, is that so?"

Hei Que was not annoyed when someone hit his nail on the head. He just snorted disdainfully: "So what?"

"If so, I can bring it back for you!"

"Go away, little girl, what do you know? The roast duck at Zui Xiang Lou must be eaten while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold. And the pear blossom wine must be eaten with Zui Xiang Lou's dishes to be enjoyable. You want to bring it back for me? The day lily is cold. No, I don't agree!"

Ling Yuan didn't expect that this old man was so obsessed with food. She frowned and said, "What if I can bring them back in their original flavor?"

"Are you kidding?" Hei Lao curled his lips in disdain. "This Zui Xiang Lou is quite far from here. No matter how fast you go, how fast can you go? It can't taste the same as the one the waiter just served, right? No, these delicacies must be eaten inside Zui Xiang Lou to taste the most authentic flavor. You don't understand at all!"

"Don't worry about it. I promise to bring it back to you. If I don't, you won't have to work for the next month. Is that feasible?"

No need to work for the next month? Doesn't that mean he can go to Zui Xiang Lou every day?

Hei Que's eyes lit up, and he had to admit that Ling Yuan's condition had indeed tempted him, but, was this girl lying to him?

Does she have that ability?

Just when Hei Que's eyes flickered and he was in a dilemma, Ling Yuan asked again in a crazy way: "Do you want to eat Zui Xiang Duck for a month, or for a day?"

Hei Que curled his lips: "So, you are not that confident?"

Ling Yuan smiled faintly: "It's hard to say. How can you know if you don't try? Old man, you have to calculate this account carefully. Whether you win or lose, you are the one who gets the advantage in the end, right? It's just one day's work, isn't it? Is it that serious? Let me go?"

Hei Que was really hooked by her without saying a word. Finally, he simply put the backpack behind him and glared at Ling Yuan.

"Okay, old man, I will trust you for once, but you, little girl, please don't go back on your word."

"Don't worry, old man. We'll know whether you can do it or not tonight. Even if you can't meet the standard, don't you still have a month? You won't lose anything in this deal!"

Hei Que also saw this point, so he agreed reluctantly, and then looked at Wei Jie: "Hey, Ming boy, you can be a witness for us!"

"Well, Mr. Hei, I'm watching here!" He's here now, but not at night. If this girl really does something naughty, can he still run back?

With this arrangement, Ling Yuan didn't say anything more and immediately stepped forward to explain Yin'er's medication and methods for today.

After spending a few days together, Hei Lao went from being indifferent at first to admiration, and gradually he followed Ling Yuan's lead, and naturally believed what she said.

The transformation of this process is also the self-confidence that Ling Yuan exudes as a doctor from every detail of her treatment of Du Yin.

Although she is not very old, she has shown a maturity that is totally inconsistent with her age, whether it is considering medication, taking pulses, diagnosing, or performing acupuncture and massage.

Judging from her bold use of medicine and innovative techniques, she has at least twenty years of medical experience, but reality tells her that she is only eleven years old. With such talent, it is impossible not to be convinced.

Originally, Yao Ren's level was far ahead of his, but he didn't expect that this little girl, who was not very old, had an even more outrageous level.

Hei Que even sighed in self-deprecation, "It's fate. This is fate. I tortured her in the first half of her life. When she was about to enjoy a peaceful life and prepare to lie in the coffin in the second half of her life, suddenly a young girl with excellent medical skills appeared. If Yao Ren hadn't been sincere, he would have twisted his head off."

What a pity! If Yao Ren heard this, he would probably say, "Old man, who do you think you are? With your medical skills, you let me take it to heart for decades?"

Come on, who knows where you have been hiding to hatch eggs and give birth to babies all these years?

It is your blessing to meet my granddaughter in this life. Learn from her well!

Well, he really predicted it. Hei Que has indeed started his journey of seeking advice very seriously...

"What kind of glass do you want to order?"

After hearing Wei Jie's question, Qianxun finally remembered the important matter: "Don't worry, I don't need anything with fine texture and perfect carving. Even if you can give me some defective products without any decoration, it will be fine."

"But it must be made according to my method. As for what kind it will look like, I will draw it when you take me to Liulichang."

"Then what do you want these things for? Even if you go today, I'm afraid you won't be able to make them, right?"

"It doesn't matter. Aren't you here? Just give it to me within ten days. Besides this, I have to find something else. The purpose is, of course, to cure diseases and save lives. If the experiment is successful, maybe Yin'er will suffer less and recover sooner, even without grandpa's medicine."

Wei Jie paused for a moment, raised his eyes in surprise, and looked at her incredulously: "You, is what you said true?"

Ling Yuan glanced at him and said, "Of course it's true. Is this a joke? Grandpa's medicine is so precious and unique. Once it's used up, it's gone. He spent so much effort to get the medicine, he can't just give it to me for free. So, if there is another way, I would rather choose it."

After Ling Yuan's explanation, Wei Jie gradually felt relieved.

"I was a little worried at first, but I didn't expect you to really take that child to heart. Thank you, girl."

"I have never pursued anything in my life. I just waited for death to protect Du Yin. I thought I would leave with him after a few years. I never thought I would have such an opportunity. It seems that God couldn't stand it either and wanted him to live well!"

"Good people will be rewarded, and evil people will be punished sooner or later. Your Majesty is so clear about gratitude and resentment, and God will not let your efforts go to waste, so you don't need to be polite to me."

"In that case, thank you very much!" Wei Jie didn't want to keep saying these words, so he simply pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Ling Yuan, however, was somewhat uncomfortable seeing him being so quiet and polite: "Your personality is really unpredictable and amazing."

Wei Jie glanced at her quietly and curled his lips, "A person's personality can also change again and again depending on the environment around him."

Ling Yuan thought about his words thoughtfully. After a while, she looked at him and said, "Don't say it. If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true."

When she first traveled through time, she was only three years old. In modern times, a three-year-old child would be a naughty kid who only knew how to ask for candy, but here, she has already started planning for her future.

This is how the environment changes people. No one wants to live such a stressful life, but in order to survive, she has to do it.

Now, even though she is married, she can't really calm down.

"You have a lot on your mind." Just as Ling Yuan lowered her head in silence, lost in her own thoughts, Wei Jie looked at her thoughtfully.

Ling Yuan looked up and gave a slightly sad smile.

"In fact, I am almost like an orphan now. Although Lingjiazhuang is standing behind me, I don't want to overdraw on this kindness."

"So when I saw Du Yin, I felt an unprecedented pity for him. This pity became even stronger when you told me about his life story."

"Although I don't know my own life experience and have been abused, at least I still have foster parents, foster brothers and sisters, and a grandfather who loves me like his own granddaughter. But what about Yin'er?"

"You're the only one he has."

Ling Yuan's words made Wei Jie feel warm. "No, he not only has me, he also has you. With a caring doctor like you, he can definitely live happily like a normal person. Even without parents, he can be very happy."

Wei Jie stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled charmingly: "Is that so?"

Damn, why does this guy like to release his charm no matter what? This side profile is really too blushing.

For a moment, she wanted to remove the annoying scar on his face.

But if that happens, I'm afraid even more women will pay attention to him, so maybe, forget it.

"Although you are only three years older than him, why do I feel like you raise him as your son?"

The smile on Wei Jie's face faded, "Why not?"

Ling Yuan rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, of course. This is his blessing and the good karma his aunt has created. He will live a good life with your protection for the rest of his life."

Wei Jie looked at her strangely. Somehow, he felt that this girl's tone sounded sour.

With such mixed emotions, they arrived at a Liulichang near the capital city half an hour later.

After explaining the purpose of the visit, the factory owner directly called the master in charge of firing to Ling Yuan. Ling Yuan took the drawn drawings, explained and illustrated them, and looked at him expectantly: "Master, is it possible to fire it?"

The master was about fifty years old, and was obviously a veteran in Liulichang. After looking at the blueprint and listening to Ling Yuan's detailed explanation, he nodded and said, "Sure, no problem. How many would the princess want?"

Ling Yuan rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "Fifty?"

"Any special requests?" Ling Yuan glanced at the finished products around her and frowned slightly: "I don't want any color decoration, but I hope to keep the transparency of this bottle. Can the master do it?"

"Of course, it's possible, but ten days is too short. Although you don't need decoration, you still have to go through the necessary procedures. It has to go through dozens of processes, and it's quite time-consuming. If you make fifty, it will take at least a month. Is this feasible, young lady?"

"It's okay. It's okay to burn five in ten days, right?"

"That's fine."

"That's good. Five are enough for me. As for the rest, you can arrange your own time and hand them over to me a few months later. But you must pay attention to transparency. This is very important, okay?"

When the master heard this, he nodded to Ling Yuan and said, "Okay, it's OK. Thank you, Princess, for your time."

After the master left with the drawings, Ling Yuan, accompanied by Wei Jie, bought a variety of reserve materials. It took them two or three hours to complete the task. It was already past time for dinner. After they finished their work, they felt hungry, so they came to the famous Zui Xiang Lou, which the black old man had mentioned countless times.

While the dishes were being served, Ling Yuan slipped to the backyard. Before she could get close, two boys dressed as waiters blocked her way: "Guest, you can't barge in here!"

"How can I help you?"

When Ling Yuan saw the two men, she frowned slightly, jumped up without any hesitation, and gave each of them a slap in the face.

The two guys were holding their heads and were about to curse, but Ling Yuan suddenly showed a token with a gangster look on his face that said "Just try and see if you dare to touch me".

The two of them came closer to the token and took a look. Suddenly, their mouths widened: "Ah, you, you are..."

"Shut up, where's your boss?" The two boys looked at her blankly and pointed: "In the study."

"You guys go do what you need to do, I'll go find it myself."

After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and gave the two of them a few more instructions. After asking where the study was, he turned and walked away.

The two of them stared blankly at Ling Yuan as he left. "Oh my God, are we seeing things? Was that token really the Phoenix Token?"

"It is indeed the Phoenix Order. The tokens of the masters are the Dragon King Order. So this unique Phoenix Order must be..." The two glanced at each other quickly, looking at each other in astonishment. "Is it the eldest lady? The eldest lady actually came down the mountain?"

"Didn't the masters forbid the young lady from leaving the mountain? Why did they suddenly..."

Wait, this is not the point. The point seems to be, why does their eldest daughter look like this?

Oh no, that's not right. This is not the eldest lady herself, it should be someone around the eldest lady.

In Fengchi, Miss Feng Yan was almost rumored to be a goddess. Who would believe that the dark and fat girl in front of them was their eldest lady?

Therefore, everyone used their imagination to come up with many versions of Ling Yuan's identity.

"Come on, stop gossiping. No matter who she is, as long as she has the Phoenix Order, we must treat her with respect. Time is precious, go and prepare something for the young lady."

Ling Yuan, however, had precious time because she had sneaked out. She went to the study room for a quarter of an hour and then slipped out. It happened that the waiter had already prepared what she needed. Ling Yuan nodded and said, "Let's go to Room No. 1 together. I'll get it when I leave."

When she went upstairs, the food was already served. Wei Jie was sitting on a soft chair by the window drinking tea. When he saw her come in, he frowned slightly: "Where have you been? Why did you take so long?"

"Isn't it to prepare something for Hei Lao? No matter what you forget, you must not forget this. It has been arranged. I just need to take it when I leave."

Ling Yuan said it lightly, but Wei Jie found it very interesting. "I'm curious, how did you bring them back in their original flavor?"

"Make it now!" Ling Yuan winked at him. When Wei Jie was about to ask, she had already sat down: "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly. After dinner, we will go back to our homes. We can't delay your business."

Freshly made? Can she make the roast duck at Zui Xiang Lou freshly made?

Qingchen's eyes widened. Although their princess had shown some skills before, that was only limited to home cooking. How could a restaurant's signature dish like this be made just by saying so? Especially since they also have a secret sauce, and even the wood used for baking is specially selected. How repetitive is the process?

She is teasing them by saying she can do it now, right?

Does she think that everyone can make steamed buns?

Even ordinary white flour steamed buns have to be divided into different grades, let alone this is Zui Xiang Lou’s honey-glazed roast duck?

But seeing that she was so nonchalant, Wei Jie could only shake his head helplessly. It seemed that Hei Lao was really fooled by this girl. However, thinking about the girl's promise, Wei Jie also felt that Hei Lao had taken advantage of her this time.

She didn't notice the weird smile on someone's lips. She, Ling Yuan, never does business at a loss. A month's vacation?

He is so beautiful!

All the signature dishes of Zui Xiang Lou were now on their table. Wei Jie had originally thought that this girl would say a few words of praise, but she just concentrated on eating from beginning to end and didn't mention anything. This made Wei Jie very puzzled. He watched her stand up after eating and drinking, ready to leave.

"These dishes don't suit your taste?"

Ling Yuan heard this, opened her clear eyes, and shook her head: "No, it's delicious. I'm not picky about food, I can eat anything. I'm not afraid of snake meat, let alone other things?"

"These are Zui Xiang Lou's signature dishes. Why do they look so good in your mouth, and they don't seem to have any of the signature ingredients at all?"

Although this was not his first time here, he couldn't help but admire the food here.

Even someone as picky as him couldn't resist his curiosity and asked about the cooking methods of several dishes. However, this girl just ate from beginning to end without even asking a single question. Isn't this too unreasonable?

Ling Yuan's mouth twitched. So this guy didn't eat and only paid attention to her reaction?

"Well, I'm not particular about food, and I've never paid attention to this. I won't talk about bad food, and I won't talk about delicious food either, so, haha, you understand?"

Wei Jie nodded without any emotion, "Well, now I see it, so, are you leaving?"

Ling Yuan: "Yes, I'm done eating. Um, please take care of the things I bought and send them to my home when they are all ready. I won't stay here any longer. I'm worried about Yin'er, so I'll leave first!"

After saying that, he looked at Qing Ye who was standing beside him and said, "Can you take me back?"

Her face was too conspicuous, so if she didn't want to go around the streets she had to use a carriage.

Qing Ye was fine, but he still subconsciously looked at Wei Jie. Ling Yuan followed his gaze and frowned involuntarily: "No?"

Qingye's mouth twitched. It's not that I can't, but I have to get the boss's consent before I can send you there!

Wei Jie received Qing Ye's gaze and immediately gave an order casually.

"From now on, the princess' words are my words. There is no need to ask for instructions again."

As soon as these words were spoken, the four Dharma protectors looked at Wei Jie at the same time, with surprise in their eyes obvious. Even Ling Yuan himself was startled, but after thinking about it, he understood.

She had put so much effort into helping him, if she couldn't even give an order, wouldn't that be too disrespectful?

He immediately said to him bluntly: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Wei Jie glanced at her calmly and said, "Let's go!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Qing Ye received the order, bowed and retreated.

Ling Yuan glanced at Wei Jie, who had a calm expression on his face: "Thank you for your help. Please go ahead and enjoy your meal."

After Ling Yuan left, Wei Jie looked at the table full of delicacies and suddenly lost his appetite. He looked at Qing Chen who was standing beside him: "What are you standing there for? Aren't you hungry?"

"Master, shall I go find a carriage?"

"No, let's eat first and talk about the rest later."

Wei Jie stood up, walked to the window and looked down. It happened that the waiter was loading cans of Lihuazui onto the cart. Ling Yuan was standing by giving orders, and occasionally turned his head to say a few words to Qing Ye behind him.
