Chapter 76: It doesn’t matter what vessel you use to drink tea, it’s who you drink with that matters



The pavilion chief laughed when he heard this, then waved his hand:

"That won't do. It's not easy for you to run a business. As the chief official of Baima Town, it's my duty to solve these trivial matters for you. How can I take credit for it?

Miss Jiang can give me a discount, but she can't not charge me, which is not advisable."

The captain is truly impartial and just.

Jiang Sui felt ashamed of what she said. She looked down on such a clear-headed person.

"Well, since the chief has said so, I will charge you the price of plain flour for this powder. Please enjoy it slowly."

She used to cook meat noodles, but now she charges him the price of vegetarian noodles.

The head of the pavilion picked up his chopsticks and started eating, and Jiang Sui stopped disturbing him.

On the other side, Xiao Lanlan and the others were talking to Su Yanqing, and Jiang Sui took advantage of the moment when they were not busy to join in the fun.

"Mr. Su, how come you have time to come to Baima Town today?" Xiao Lanlan asked.

Su Yanqing had gone back to Huaxi County to recuperate. Huaxi County was so far away that it was not convenient to go back and forth, but Xiao Lanlan was still quite surprised to see him suddenly today.

"It's like this. My body has recovered a lot, but my leg still needs to be healed. After all, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If I don't take good care of it, I'm afraid it will leave a root of disease. I will return to Jeju Prefecture in a few days. It's a long way to go, so it's not easy to come to see you. So I thought I would come to see my saviors and say goodbye to you before I leave."

Su Yanqing's legs are now able to walk, but his grandfather specifically told him to be careful and not to get out of the wheelchair before 100 days.

From Jeju Prefecture to Baima Town, it would take three days on the official road with a horse galloping non-stop, and five or six days by carriage. If you walk, it will take more than half a month. Su Yanqing was worried, so he thought about coming to the Xiao family again before leaving to say goodbye in person.

Because of this departure, I don’t know how long it will take for us to see each other again in the future.

Hearing that he came to see them specially, Xiao Lanlan felt a little excited. She thought he came to do some business and just came to say hello.

"You have to be careful. The legs are used for walking, so you must not leave any disease. But it's great that Mr. Su is so thoughtful and always thinking about us." The speaker was Xiao Yi.

He had taken personal care of Su Yanqing for several nights before and had a good relationship with him.

Su Yanqing nodded and asked about the recent situation of Xiao's mother and Zhou:

"Why don't you see Madam Xiao today? I brought some supplements from Jishan Hall. They can be used as supplements for the second sister-in-law of the Xiao family. They are all very good for women and very nourishing."

He also remembered Zhou's illness, so before coming he collected many supplements that would be beneficial to her.

"Today happens to be my mother-in-law's turn to rest at home, so she didn't come. My second sister-in-law took the medicine prescribed by Mr. Qin and had acupuncture. She is getting better day by day. Thank you for your concern, Second Young Master Su." Jiang Sui explained.

"It's all my duty. Since I didn't get to see Madam Xiao, why don't I go back to the village with you today so I can say goodbye to her in person. Besides, I also miss the food that Madam Xiao cooks. I'm craving for it."

There is no other special feature of Xiao's mother's cooking, the main feature is the taste of home and the strong maternal love.

"That's great. Brother San will go buy a few pounds of fresh pork, a chicken, and a fish. Let mother cook them tonight. She was wondering if Second Young Master Su was in good health a few days ago. Let's close the stall early today and treat Second Young Master Su and Mr. Zeng well."

When Jiang Sui heard that he was going to the countryside, he immediately started to make arrangements.

"Then thanks to Lin Xu, I can go and have a taste too, hahaha!" Mr. Zeng laughed heartily.

Mrs. Xiao’s cooking is so delicious that he can eat several bowls every time.

Everyone was amused by Mr. Zeng. Su Yanqing was living with him now, but it was still early and there was no rush to close the stall. It was only noon.

It was just time for dinner, and Mr. Zeng said he wanted to eat hot and sour noodles, so I cooked a bowl for him and Su Yanqing respectively.

He had been in Huaxi County taking care of Su Yanqing's legs during this period, so he was not in Baima Town. He hadn't eaten it since he left last time, and he was craving for this spicy and sour snack.

Here, when the pavilion chief ate it at first, he didn’t think how delicious it was, but when he saw the sour, spicy, pink and fragrant taste, he was pleasantly surprised. He always loved spicy food, and it was like a switch was turned on for him, and he started to inhale it like crazy.

He was sweating profusely after just a few bites, but he enjoyed the meal very much.

The mixed noodles also have a unique flavor. The hot and sour noodles were just too spicy, so he had a bowl of peanut butter mixed noodles, which was especially spicy. In short, he had a very comfortable meal and finished both bowls of noodles.

When he finally paid the bill, he praised Jiang Suihao and said he would come often in the future.

That would be great. If he comes often, people will see that the stall owner always appears at her stall and they will definitely not dare to do anything to them.

In the afternoon, the weather was really hot, so Mr. Zeng pushed Su Yanqing home to rest first. They agreed to meet at 3 p.m. and go back to Xianhe Village together.

Xiao Yi took the money and bought a piece of top-quality pork belly, a hen, and a large grass carp, all of which he would use to entertain Su Yanqing and the others in the evening.

At 3 p.m., he closed his stall and went home. Mr. Zeng was already waiting at the town gate in his carriage, and Su Yanqing was sitting inside waiting.

Xiao Yi asked Jiang Sui and the others to follow Mr. Zeng and the others first, while he drove the ox cart behind. Xiao Hechuan couldn't bear to see his third brother being alone at the back, so he offered to go with him.

Jiang Sui, Xiao Lanlan and Su Yanqing took a carriage. The carriage had a large space and was fast, so they could go back early to inform Xiao's mother and prepare the meal.

Because after dinner, the two of them had to return to town and leave tomorrow.

Xiao's mother was never idle at home. She went to the next village to collect 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 100 kilograms of potatoes, and asked a ox cart to deliver them in preparation for the severe drought.

Not long after she came back, she saw Mr. Zeng and Su Yanqing. She was so happy for them that they couldn't stop smiling.

Su Yanqing brought over a bunch of supplements and also brought a lot of delicious cakes for Goudan to eat.

Jiang Sui told Xiao's mother about the purpose of Second Young Master Su's visit. When Xiao's mother heard that they came specifically for her cooking skills, she immediately started to prepare dinner without saying a word. Today, she must make Second Young Master Su and Mr. Zeng's bellies full.

Zhou washed rice and made a fire, Jiang Sui went to the garden to chop cabbage, and Xiao's mother killed a chicken.

Xiao Lanlan opened a box of tea that the doctors had brought over last time and used it to make tea to entertain the guests.

She moved a small table into the yard and brought a chair over for Mr. Zeng to sit on, and she poured them tea.

"I heard that wealthy families have special teacups for drinking tea, but we are all country folk. Such fine tea can only be served in this water bowl. Please don't despise it."

Xiao Lanlan knew that they were all particular people, and this bowl of water was indeed indecent.

But Su Yanqing didn't care:

"The sunset is so beautiful, and Miss Xiao is here to accompany me. It's a great honor. Su is very honored."

It doesn't matter what vessel you use to drink tea, what matters is who you drink with. Su Yanqing has a very high EQ. Just one sentence made Xiao Lanlan's heart flutter.
