Chapter 183 Bamboo Chopsticks and Green Rice Balls

Xinbao thought for a moment, then tugged at Yan Shenjue's clothes: "Xinbao is hungry, and wants to eat qingtuan."

Yan Shenjue's childishness suddenly came to him, and he said, "I want to eat it, too. I want to eat it!"

He did an indecent thing that he would never do before. He opened his mouth wide and bit Tuanzi's bulging little cheek, which was as soft as a cotton ball.

Xinbao was stunned, his eyes wide open, and his whole body was motionless.

Yan Shenjue burst out laughing.

He opened his mouth, covered his eyes, and staggered with laughter.

Xinbao touched her face and asked him, "Are you using bamboo chopsticks?" She pinched her face with her chubby hands like chopsticks and said, "You pinched Xinbao's face."

Yan Shenjue couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I am Xinbao's bamboo chopsticks, and Xinbao is my green dumpling."

He picked up Tuanzi while laughing, "Come on, Bamboo Chopsticks, take Qing Tuanzi to buy some snacks."

He said to An Shun from a distance: "Uncle An, I'm taking Xinbao out to play. I won't be back for lunch."

An Shun said anxiously, "Young Master Yan, can I go with you?"

Yan Shenjue said: "No need."

Anshun smiled and said, "If Young Master Yan buys something, I can help you carry it."

It was true. Yan Shenjue said, "Thank you for your help."

He carried Xinbao in his arms and went straight out of Xiamen.

Xiamen is the gate closest to the block, and it’s not far from the main street.

There is no mugwort or green rice dumplings at this time, but you can still buy some other snacks to feed the dumplings.

The most famous dim sum shop on the street is Fengzhifang, which we visited last time. But as Anshun kept talking, Yan Shenjue still went to take a look at Shen's shop.

The shopkeeper knew Anshun, and when he saw him, he came over to greet him. Anshun smiled and asked, "Do you have any more abalone with bones?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes, yes." As he spoke, he brought out a plate.

Bone-in abalone snails are also called crispy abalone snails. They were called the best delicacy in the world by people at that time. They are also widely known to modern people because of Jin Moumei. The name alone sounds like a kind of snail, but it is actually a small snack made of cheese and honey. It is red and white, round at the bottom and pointed at the top, and very beautiful.

But this is not a snack suitable for selling in a snack shop because it is too delicate.

An Shun smiled and said, "The cook at home can also make it and eat it at home. This is a snack that is unique to our Shen's shop. I heard that it was made from the headquarters of the master's sect, and the recipe was sent to us by the shop below..."

Xinbao's eyes were shining and her mouth was watering. Yan Shenjue picked it up carefully with chopsticks, bent down and let her take a bite.

The texture is very similar to modern puffs, melting in the mouth, fragrant and sweet. Xinbao's eyes were curved as he ate two in a row. Yan Shenjue said, "You can't eat anymore, otherwise you won't be able to eat lunch. I'll go buy you some water. Xinbao, do you want sugarcane juice or black plum juice?"

Xinbao thought for a moment and said in a baby voice, "I want black plums."

"Okay," Yan Shenjue nodded, "You wait here and be obedient. Uncle An will help me take care of Xinbao."

Anshun was wrapping a piece of dried meat in oil paper and wanted to change the taste of the dumplings, so he quickly agreed.

The beef jerky was slightly thicker than a finger, hard and tough. Xinbao bit it with his little teeth, and moved his little head back and forth for a long time, but was unable to pull it off. He could only smack it slowly while standing at the door, eagerly waiting for Yan Shenjue to come back.

A carriage stopped in front of the door, and someone got out of the carriage and entered the shop.

The young man behind laughed and said, "Hey, isn't this the little kid? Little kid, why doesn't your brother come to sell candy?"

Xinbao said, "Hello uncle, I don't have any candy at home, so I won't sell any."

The young man had just asked casually, and nodded with a smile.

Uncle Shen, who was walking in front, frowned and turned to look at Xinbao.

The Shen family has a big business, but their main industry is not here. There are only a few small shops here.

But Uncle Shen was afraid of poverty when he was young, and he developed a habit of sitting in the store and watching the real money come into the account. Therefore, he often came to this dim sum shop and had seen the Tang family more than once. He had a deep impression of the lame Fourth Brother Tang and Xinbao.

Uncle Shen walked around Xin Bao in disdain, went inside the counter and sat down, saying to An Shun: "Do you think this shop is your home? Are you just using the valuable things in the shop to coax your child?"

An Shun was stunned, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Master, I dare not! These are guests invited by the master, and I am just accompanying them out."

Uncle Shen said coldly, "I'm not old and blind yet! He was selling candy at the door last month, and this month he's married? If Shouyan doesn't change his habit of picking up people everywhere, no matter how many family businesses he has, they won't be able to withstand his ruin!"

Anshun said anxiously: "Master, you misunderstood, they..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a figure flash before him and Yan Shenjue had already jumped back into the store.

He bent down and picked up Tuanzi, and said directly to Anshun: "Tell your master that I am taking Xinbao back to my home."

He glanced at Uncle Shen coldly and said, "I'll ask someone to come over and pay for the snacks later."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

An Shun said anxiously: "Young Master Yan, Young Master Yan..."

He chased for two steps, but Yan Shen Jue had already left as fast as the wind.

Uncle Shen snorted coldly, "He is indeed a country bumpkin, without any manners! He came to visit us flatteringly, but he didn't even show courtesy to his elders. What kind of upbringing is that?! I told Shouyan a long time ago not to make friends with these ruffians..."

Anshun was anxious, and bowed, "Master, these two are my master's guests. I'm going back to report to you. I'm leaving now!"

Without waiting for his answer, he turned and ran away.

Before Mr. Shen could finish his words, he was stunned.

After realizing what was happening, he flew into a rage: "What does he mean by this! What does Anshun mean by this! He was originally a servant I paid for! Once he followed the Second Brother, he no longer took me seriously and even dared to kick me..."

The young man next to him, Shen Shuoxue, could only try his best to comfort him: "Foster father, Anshun was afraid that the second master would blame him, so he hurried back to report. What etiquette does he, a servant, know? Foster father, why should you be angry with such a person?"

After much persuasion, Uncle Shen finally calmed down.

After a while, someone came in and Shen Shuoxue, who was talking, suddenly froze in his eyes.

Zhou Cheng, the second steward of the Yuan Mansion, stepped forward and said, "My young master took two snacks here. Here is the snack money."

He handed over two silver bills.

The shopkeeper took it and saw that it was a silver note for two hundred taels. He said anxiously, "No need for so much. Two taels of silver is enough."

Zhou Cheng said calmly: "The rest is a reward for you."

As he turned and walked away, Mr. Shen laughed and said, "You are indeed young and full of energy. You spend so much money to save face! These two hundred taels of silver should at least allow this country boy to earn a year's worth of money, right?"

The shopkeeper was a little uneasy.

After all, Yan Shenjue's appearance didn't look like a country boy at all, and even the housekeeper who came here had a calm and composed demeanor.

The shopkeeper asked, "Master, can you accept this banknote? Isn't this the guest of the Second Master?"

"Yes, why not?" Uncle Shen said, "They sent it to me on their own initiative, it would be a waste if I don't accept it!"

He suddenly noticed Shen Shuoxue's appearance: "Xue'er? What's wrong with you?"

Shen Shuoxue suddenly came back to his senses.

He was a little panicked: "Godfather, that person just now...seemed familiar!!"
