"Wife, you like crystal shrimp dumplings, I'll make them for you next time."

Yun Mo looked over and said, "Don't be fooled by the simple appearance of these shrimp dumplings. It's not easy to make them so delicious. In addition to fresh shrimp and pork, the filling also uses more than a dozen kinds of precious mushrooms such as Matsutake, Morel, Alpinia, Pleurotus eryngii, and Boletus, as well as broth made from old hens to enhance the flavor. It takes a lot of effort and materials. Just one basket costs no less than 50 yuan."

Ling Chuan was stunned. It turned out that such a small plate of shrimp dumplings required so many precious ingredients.

After eating three shrimp dumplings in a row, Yun Mo suddenly thought of something, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I have eaten."

Yun Mo puffed up her round cheeks and looked at the man, looking as cute as a little hamster.

"I'm asking if you've eaten the shrimp dumplings?"

Ling Chuan shook his head honestly, "Sister Hua sent the shrimp dumplings over. There was only one basket, and I was afraid you wouldn't have enough. I had egg pancakes, tofu pudding, and soy milk."

These items were also on the plate. Maybe knowing her appetite, she only took two or three bites of each.

"Wife, don't drink this soy milk. It might have been made by the cook last night and has gone bad. I only took one sip and then stopped drinking."

Yun Mo was amused by the man's words, "Stupid, this is not soy milk, this is soy juice, made from mung beans, and it has been fermented, so it tastes a bit sour and smelly, but it has high nutritional value. People in Beijing love to drink this."

Knowing that he had made a mistake, Ling Chuan couldn't help but blush.

"When the cook asked me if I wanted to try some bean juice, I thought it was the soy milk we have here, but made from mung beans, so I didn't refuse."

Yun Mo picked up the soy milk and took a sip. It tasted quite authentic, with a sour and stinky smell mixed with a strong aroma of mung beans, which was a bit intoxicating.

Although she was from the north in her previous life, she was not fond of soy milk. She could drink it but did not like it.

Although the shrimp dumplings were delicious, they were still a bit greasy after eating a few. After drinking two sips of soy milk to suppress the greasy feeling, Yun Mo picked up a shrimp dumpling with chopsticks and fed it to the man.

"Wife, I'm full, you eat."

"Open your mouth."

"oh."

A shrimp dumpling was a bit too big for Yun Mo, so she had to eat it in two bites, but it was just right for Ling Chuan, who could eat one in one bite.

There were eight shrimp dumplings in a basket. Yun Mo ate four, and the rest went into Ling Chuan's mouth.

After eating and drinking, Yun Mo left the dishes to the servants to clean up, then picked up her bag and hurried out with Ling Chuan.

Wei Fu also went out with the two of them, and was specially asked by Shao Lin to lead the way for them.

Because they also had to pick up Zeng Fang and Yao Suhua, Yun Mo asked Wei Fu to prepare two cars. She and Ling Chuan rode in the new car given to her by Shao Lin.

According to Wei Fu, today is the first day the car has been driven since it was delivered, but strangely, there is no leather smell of a new car in the car, but instead a fresh lemon smell.

Seeing Yun Mo looking at the car interior curiously, Wei Fu in the passenger seat turned around with a smile.

"Miss, is this car decorated well? I don't know what you girls like, so I asked Miss Second and the others."

"Very good, Uncle Fu, is this car really new?"

"Why do you ask that, Miss?"

"Usually new cars have a leather smell, but this car doesn't seem to have that."

Hearing Yun Mo's wonder, Wei Fu quickly explained with a smile, "When the car was first delivered, it had a leather smell. I was afraid that the young lady wouldn't like it, so I wiped the seats and the car with a wet towel every day, ventilated and dried them, and then put a few fresh lemons in to remove the smell. It took more than a week before the smell in the car finally dissipated."

No wonder.

"Well, why bother? It won't take much effort. Miss, I heard from you that you want to buy a house near Beijing University. What kind of house do you want?"

"The style doesn't matter. A courtyard house or a small Western-style building is fine. As long as it has its own door and yard and a quiet environment."

"I'm quite familiar with that area. According to the young lady's request, there happens to be a place that is quite suitable. How about I take you there to have a look?"

"Okay, go ahead."

After picking up Zeng Fang and Yao Suhua, mother and daughter, at the hotel, the two cars set off directly to the house that Wei Fu mentioned.

The house is a two-story courtyard house built more than a hundred years ago and is very well preserved. The red paint on the doors, windows and beams has not peeled off.

Although it has two entrances, the overall area is not large, even smaller than the courtyard house bought in Yunmojiang City.

But it is understandable. After all, this is the capital. It is not easy to build such a small courtyard with two entrances in a prosperous area. In ancient times, only officials of the fourth rank or above could afford to live in such a small courtyard.

"Momo, this yard is nice, but it's not spacious enough and there's no pond. How are you going to raise big white or two white fish?" Zeng Fang couldn't help but say.

Wei Fu took over the conversation and said, "Miss, if you want to buy a house with a pond near Beijing University, it is probably impossible. Although this area is not as good as the city center, it is also a prosperous area where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

In my opinion, young lady, you should just keep Dabai and Erbai in the old house. Even if you can buy a house with a small pond here, how can it compare to the spaciousness and comfort of the artificial lake that your madam dug for you?

Don't worry, Miss. I will take good care of Dabai and Erbai for you. You can come back to see them at the weekend."

Hearing Wei Fu's words, Zeng Fang nodded in agreement, "I think it's okay. Dabai and Erbai are used to being free. They probably won't be used to being locked up in such a small place."

That being said, how could Yun Mo not see Wei Fu's intention?

It's nothing more than using Dabai and Erbai as a distraction to make her go back to the old house more often.

Apart from the fact that it was inconvenient to raise Dabai and Erbai, she couldn't find any other faults with the house, so she turned around and asked Lingchuan.

"What do you think of this place?"

Ling Chuan nodded. "It's good. I just took a look. There are six large rooms in total, which is enough for us to live in. There is also a kitchen and a bathroom. The orientation is also good."

Yun Mo turned back and asked Wei Fu, "How far is this place from the outside of Beijing?"

"It's not far, only about three kilometers away. It's very convenient to ride a bike or take a bus. The bus station is 200 meters away."

Yun Mo nodded and asked Yao Suhua for her opinion.

Yao Suhua was very satisfied that her daughter would live in such a house in the future.

Seeing that no one objected, Yun Mo decided to buy the yard.

"Uncle Fu, please help me make an appointment with the landlord so we can talk about the price."

"Hey, Miss, can you lend me your mobile phone?"

Wei Fu took his mobile phone and went outside to contact the landlord, while Yun Mo and Zeng Fang and her daughter wandered around the house.

"Momo, you and Brother Ling live in the main room, and I'll live in the east wing. The east wing is close to the toilet, so it's convenient to get up at night. The winter in the capital is very cold. It can be several degrees below zero at the coldest time. We need to prepare a few more quilts. I'm most afraid of the cold."

"The rooms are heated in the winter. You'll feel too hot even if you only have one bed, let alone several."

"Really? That's great!"
