Chapter 88: Selling picture books, bombing squid, and eating cream puffs
Lu Lan did not return Xiaoyi to her.
He said that after returning home and searching for it, he could not find it anywhere. Perhaps it had been taken away by a wild cat.
Naturally, he would make it up to her.
Today is still a warm day, willow branches are swaying, and white catkins are drifting in the breeze.
“A-choo——”
Lu Lingxiang stepped into Yunlaixiang, casually patted the willow catkins on her red jacket, and placed the box in her hand on the counter.
"Jinyun, my second brother asked me to bring this to you. But seriously, if you need this thing in the future, it would be much more convenient for us to go to a cloth shop or a clothing store. We can choose any silk or satin, and the patterns are much more diverse than here. There's no need to ask him to run errands."
"What?"
Wei Jinyun was checking the account book when he opened the lid of the box with a confused look on his face and was immediately dazzled by the colors inside.
The seven colors of underwear, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, were neatly folded, two pieces of each color, with different styles, but the pink one was missing.
She slammed the lid shut and let out a loud "Ah!"
What the hell!
"What good thing is this, such a treasure?"
Gu Xiang was busy pouring tea for the guests. Hearing the sound, his eyes glanced straight at the box in front of Wei Jinyun.
Chang Siyan was so engrossed in his newly composed story that his train of thought suddenly stopped and he poked half of his head out, "Could it be that Lord Lu found some rare fabric for our shopkeeper Wei? Let's take a look."
Wei Jinyun’s head was about to shake out illusions, and he went upstairs with the wooden box in his arms.
"My second brother said this material is the finest silk, and it feels very soft next to the skin."
Lu Lingxiang leaned against the counter and saw Wei Jinyun walking hurriedly and fiddling with the small cat figurine on the counter, and she giggled.
Second brother... is really picky.
Now the two shops are open earlier than before, and Wei Jinyun has also reasonably arranged morning and afternoon shifts for the shop assistants.
After all, bread and snacks are very popular, and many people buy them to eat as breakfast.
If you work the morning shift, you start work at the beginning of the Mao hour, and are mostly responsible for baking bread and making snacks, and finish work at the beginning of the Wei hour. If you work the afternoon shift, you start work at the beginning of the Wei hour, and are mostly responsible for sweeping and washing, and finish work at the beginning of the Hai hour.
Workers work four hours a day and can eat in the shop or bring their own meals.
The first batch of guys still came according to the old time.
Wei Fuling and Wei Fuqiu sat opposite each other at a small table by the window, with a golden, juicy golden-thread pork floss pancake and a bowl of three-fresh soup pancake in front of them, and a glass of perfectly warm milk at their side. "Sister, you ran so fast with the box just now. What good stuff is this? You didn't even let us see it."
Wei Fuling took a sip of milk and asked vaguely.
Wei Fuqiu directly handed a piece of golden shredded pork floss pancake to her mouth, "Eat the pancake, eat the pancake, don't be curious."
Golden Pork Floss Pancakes are a recent addition to Meow Meow Bakery and are incredibly popular with sailors. The crust is soft and crispy, while the meat floss inside is incredibly salty and fragrant. These palm-sized pancakes are incredibly filling, and everyone who's tried them has praised their deliciousness.
After they had eaten for a while, Wang Qiulan came from the next shop with three small hats with drooping cymbals.
The hat in her hand was beautifully and uniquely made. The hat body was light green with a red pompom on the top. Six light yellow silk ribbons hung around the brim, and each ribbon had a small silver bell tied to the end, which jingled when she walked.
"Put on this fairy hat quickly."
She picked up one and put it on Wei Fuling's head, and then quickly handed one to Wei Fuqiu, and the silver bell swayed gently.
Wang Qiulan continued, "April is Lu Zu's birthday. Wear this to ensure safety. I think Sister Qi and Sister Ling's classmates today will also wear it... Brother Meng, this is yours."
Lu Zu is Lu Dongbin. According to legend, he transformed himself into a ragged beggar and mingled with the temple. If someone was sick, burning a stick of incense would cure the disease without taking any medicine. There is a custom of worshipping him in Pingjiang Prefecture.
At that time, people will wear hats with hanging cymbals, buy five-colored fairy flowers, plant dragon claw onions, and eat fairy cakes...which can cure diseases and ensure safety.
Meng Ge'er, who was squatting by the window, was scooping goat milk with a small spoon and feeding it into a bamboo basket covered with soft cloth.
Six little cats squeezed into the basket, calling "meow meow" all the time, while Yuanbao squatted beside them and watched intently.
Hearing his hat was there, Meng Ge ran over happily and let Wang Qiulan put it on him. After thanking her profusely, he turned around and squatted back beside the bamboo basket, "Ji Jie'er, Ling Jie'er, come and have a look, they've all opened their eyes!"
These six little cats have never suffered any injustice since they were picked up. During the day, the guys take turns feeding them goat milk and combing their fur. At night, Yuanbao always curls up by the basket, feeling comfortable and safe.
Wei Jinyun had already made plans to wait until they were three months old and could run and jump on their own before finding a home for them. Although there were many customers signing up for the bakery now, she had to carefully inspect them, after all, each one of them was her little treasure.
"The eyes are really open!"
Wei Fuling lay beside the bamboo basket and gently touched the paw of a little cat with her fingers.
Meng Ge'er, wearing his hat, looked at the raccoon slaves with a smile on his face. "That's great! I'll go pluck a few rooster feathers and make toys for them."
Chao Jiu happened to pass by with tea and jokingly said, "Meng Ge'er, is there any hair on the butt of your big rooster? All its hair has gone into our Yunlaixiang."
"It doesn't matter. The big rooster's feathers will grow back. I'll pluck them when they grow back, and they can always be used as toys for the little raccoon slaves."
Meng Ge'er didn't care at all and kept his eyes fixed on the little cat slaves.
When Wei Jinyun walked down the stairs, Lu Lingxiang was already sitting at a small table eating snacks.
She took a puff of pastry in her hand and took a bite. The cream inside squeezed out from the other end. Not wanting to waste it, she turned it over and took another bite to eat it all.
The fresh fruits that her second brother gave to Jinyun as a return gift were made into jam or preserved in ice, and used as decoration on cakes from time to time.
He was proud of it, saying that he had made full use of it and even gave it as a gift when he got married.
This pastry, called a profiteroles, features cream mixed with cherry jam. Crispy on the outside, light as freshly melted snow on the inside, it boasts a rich milky flavor, blending with the cherry pulp for a sweet and sour taste.
After swallowing it, the mouth still retains the burnt aroma of the baked puff pastry, the fruity aroma of cherries and the light sweetness of milk. After eating one, I can't help but want to take another bite.
Seeing Wei Jinyun coming down, Lu Lingxiang continued to taste a green plum flavored puff. It was a little sour than Yingzhu's, but very palatable and refreshing.
She laughed and said, "Jinyun, you're so slow going upstairs to put things away. Did you try all seven colors?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll take away the rest of your snacks."
Wei Jinyun glared fiercely.
She didn't know where to put the box and pondered for a long time.
He replied to her with so many small clothes for no apparent reason, he must have some kind of fetish!
Lu Lingxiang laughed even more happily. She didn't swallow a mouthful of puff smoothly and choked, burping twice in a row.
Wei Jinyun quickly walked around behind her and gently stroked her back. "You eat so fast, and you have to keep talking nonsense while eating. Do you feel better now?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I will never do it again..."
Lu Lingxiang coughed and replied, "Second brother is not good, Jinyun is good. He sent this thing before we even got married. I wonder what evil intentions he has."
As he was speaking, a voice came from the door, "Shopkeeper Wei, the fresh goods that Lord Lu ordered have arrived!"
Wei Jinyun helped Lu Lingxiang walk to the door of the shop and saw a vendor carrying a half-full wooden barrel.
The water in the bucket was sloshing, and several silver-gray squid were twisting their tentacles, with ink sacs vaguely visible in the water.
"This is a fish from the sea. Lord Lu specially had it kept in fresh water and sent to me. It's still alive."
Yuanbao smelled the fishy smell, walked forward and stared at the squid twisting in the basin.
Not long after watching, a squid suddenly moved its tentacles towards it, and Yuanbao shrank back in fright.
How could there be such a strange fish?
"This fish is best eaten fresh. Simmered in clear water and dipped in ginger vinegar brings out its flavor... But since it's a rare ocean fish, you can cook it in a variety of ways."
Wei Jinyun looked at the squid, which was now called "soft fish", and saw that his two sisters were still teasing the little cat slave, trying to think of a new way to eat it.
Her two younger sisters would be among the first to try out new products from Yunlaixiang and Miaomiao Workshop whenever they released them. After promoting them at Suyuxuan, families would flock to the shop to buy the new products. She even had long-term contracts for afternoon snacks from several academies.
She wants to reward these two little publicity experts.
Wei Jinyun carried the wooden bucket into the backyard. Wan Wu was tidying up the counter. Seeing her come in, she came over and asked, "Boss, do you want to stew this squid? Or stir-fry it with bamboo shoots and mushrooms, which would also be very delicious."
"Well, I'll take out two, and you can give the rest... Make some fresh ones for Sister Qi and Sister Ling and fry them."
Wei Jinyun responded and poured the squid into a basin of clean water. He held the squid's head with his fingers and gently pulled it, pulling out the internal organs and transparent cartilage completely. He then cut open the abdomen with scissors and repeatedly rinsed off the ink and mucus, leaving only the snow-white and firm squid meat.
She made diagonal cuts on the surface of the squid, without cutting through it at each stroke, so that it would curl into beautiful flower shapes when fried.
While the squid was marinating, she stirred some batter, stuck bamboo skewers into the squid, and coated them thoroughly, ensuring every inch of the fish was evenly coated. She then rolled them in the crumbed breadcrumbs and deep-fried them.
She gently flipped the squid with chopsticks, and the originally snow-white fish meat gradually turned golden, became crispy, and filled with fragrance.
The sun gradually rose higher. Wei Fuqiu and Wei Fuling played with the little cat for a while, then washed their hands, picked up their backpacks and prepared to go to Su Yuxuan.
Wei Jinyun put the freshly fried squid on thin bamboo skewers and handed them to the two sisters.
"Come, try the bombed squid that my sister made."
The golden crispy crust wraps the plump squid meat, and the surface is shiny with oil, with the aroma of the fried food in the shop and the freshness of the squid.
"Sister, it smells so good."
Wei Fuling took it and sniffed the stick.
"Take it to school and eat it while walking."
Wei Jinyun rubbed her hair and reminded her, "Walk slowly."
Wei Fuqiu took a bite first. The batter on the outside was fried crispy, but the fish meat on the inside was very tender and elastic. A layer of salt powder with a pepper flavor was sprinkled on the batter, which was salty and fragrant.
She chewed more slowly and whispered, "It's so delicious... I can't bear to eat it."
"Sister Qi, let's eat slowly and run faster."
Wei Fuling bit the squid and shouted vaguely, "Let's go and make Mastermind faint!"
Wei Fuqiu was amused by her and grinned, nodding vigorously, "Okay."
The two sisters wore cymbals, one holding a bombed squid, the other holding it tighter, and walked quickly. The bells on the cymbals swayed, and the bombed squid on the bamboo skewers swayed, and the sound of the bells and the fragrance wafted all the way.
At the door of Su Yuxuan, Zhi Duo Xing came strolling over with a small book bag on his back.
He also wore a hat with cymbals hanging down its beard. The light blue cloth made his round face look even whiter. The silver bells on the brim of the hat tinkled with every step he took. He seemed to be thinner than in early spring.
When he smelled the fragrance in the sisters' hands, he stopped immediately and stared at the string of bombarded squid.
Seeing this, Wei Fuling deliberately raised the skewer and shook it, "Master, look, this is the bombed squid my sister made. It tastes amazing!"
The big golden squid swayed before his eyes.
"It looks delicious."
“It tastes better when eaten.”
Wei Fuqiu nodded aside.
"Can you give me some food?"
Zhiduoxing's eyes followed the big squid and kept shaking.
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat less and be a child model in my grandmother's shop?"
Wei Fuqiu also imitated Wei Fuling and swayed the bombing squid around.
"I've been eating very light food lately, and I've been eating very few snacks."
After hearing this, Zhi Duo Xing's face turned bitter. Two big squids were swaying in front of him, and he didn't know which one to look at.
He continued, "My father said that I look a lot like him. He's a very talented man, and I want to be one too."
Tian'er followed suit, wearing a hat with drooping cymbals. She and Zhou Zheyue poked his arm and laughed, "How can you look like a talented scholar?"
Zhi Duo Xing curled his lips and said, "Then I won't eat it."
The two sisters only said this, and they still distributed the bombed squid made by their elder sister to other classmates bit by bit.
"You really don't want to eat, Mastermind?"
Wei Fuqiu pulled out a soft fish foot and said, "It's so fragrant, crispy and bouncy."
Zhi Duo Xing swallowed his saliva and said aggrievedly, "I'll eat it, I'll just eat one bite."
He took it immediately and devoured the squid foot in a few gulps. "Delicious! Even better than fried meatballs!"
It is indeed fragrant, crispy and springy.
After eating the squid, he took out an oil-paper bag from his book bag and opened it carefully. Inside was a five-color rice cake cut into small pieces. There were a lot of five colors of green, white, red, yellow and black stacked together, and the aroma of rice filled the air.
"This is the magic cake my family made, you guys can have some too."
He picked up two pieces and handed them over, then wrapped them in oil paper and distributed them to other classmates.
After he finishes this meal, he can eat less and become a child model or a talented scholar.
The Meow Meow Bakery is bustling with activity because of the new puffs.
Amu stood behind the counter, a bamboo basket in front of her filled with cream puffs. She took the oil-paper bag and, using bamboo tongs, quickly picked up the puffs and put them in.
If the customer wants a few, she will pick them up accurately, fold the bag and hand them out.
Or when several people come to buy at the same time, she will say, "Please wait, I'll serve it to you right away" while picking up the food quickly.
It was really because her sister Si Yan was in a good mood recently and had come up with a lot of words for the new products. Sometimes she even promoted them herself -
Don’t ask where to find delicious snacks anymore, come to Meow Meow Bakery and you will know.
Our new puffs feature a golden, crispy shell, while the interior is a sweet haven filled with fresh milk cream, and even hidden surprises of cherry blossoms and green plums. One bite and you'll experience crispness, softness, sweetness, and freshness all at once. This satisfying bite will leave you spellbound!
Then, a painting of Miss Lu was pasted on the door, which looked like a picture of a puff being rolled up and stuffed into it.
Even if the dim sum shops nearby wanted to imitate, they couldn't catch up with Manager Wei's quick innovation and Sister Si Yan's clever mind.
They sell bread and make pastries, and their business is booming.
The Meow Meow Bakery in the afternoon is sweet and warm.
Gu Xiang was standing at the door of the shop, shouting slogans, "Stretch your shoulders and neck first, otherwise your legs, feet and arms will be sore later."
Yunlaixiang's guys followed her movements, either raising their hands and rotating their shoulders in circles, or bending their knees and pressing their legs.
After everyone got ready, Gu Xiang picked up the long wooden pole that was prepared nearby and said, "Come, follow me... one, two! One, two! Push your arms forward!"
The others followed suit, sliding the wooden poles.
The Dragon Boat Festival is almost here, and the Merchants Guild of Pingjiang Prefecture holds a dragon boat race every year. Anyone with a shop can sign up, but only shop assistants can be hired, and temporary workers cannot be recruited.
When Shopkeeper Wei heard that the grand prize was a golden dragon boat, he happily signed them up.
Lu Lantang and Chang Siyan huddled together at a table by the window, on which were two pieces of cherry pearl cream cakes.
Seeing Wei Jinyun coming, the two of them immediately waved and pulled her and Lu Lingxiang to their side.
Lu Lantang opened the sketchbook at hand, which contained many exquisite drawings.
This picture album contains all her drawings of six cats, and each one is lifelike.
Recently, she also asked Tang Yin for advice on how to paint people's postures and expressions more vividly and lifelike, like fairies in paintings.
Tang Yin hated people who imitated his painting style, but if someone came to him and asked for advice humbly, he would give guidance without hesitation.
Right now, he was immersed in reading poetry and books at home, preparing for this year's provincial examination. He really didn't have time to paint the anthropomorphic posture of Liu Miao, so he handed it over to Lu Lantang.
Therefore, Lu Lantang can now draw furry animals in a clever and playful manner, and drawing people is no problem at all.
"Jinyun, what do you think?"
Lu Lantang held the sketch and looked up and asked, "Si Yan and I want to write these six cats into a storybook, add illustrations, and sell it all over the Song Dynasty."
Wei Jinyun stared at the drawing for a long while, appreciating it with utter delight and surprise. "Are you saying that the six cats we designed can be turned into storybooks and picture albums and sold throughout our country?"
"Um."
Lu Lantang nodded. "These six cats are already tied to your shop. If we discuss the details together, we can definitely do better. The people from the bookstore are looking for us again."
"I see no problem."
Wei Jinyun exclaimed excitedly, "Does that mean everyone in the Song Dynasty will know about Yun Lai Xiang and Miao Miao Bakery in the future?"
Lu Lantang smiled and said, "Do you think no one knows about this? You're so famous in the dim sum world of Pingjiang Prefecture that people from other prefectures outside the city have sent people to buy your dim sum, and many nobles have come to Pingjiang Prefecture specifically to try it. As for last year's Meow Meow sachet, you know, if you buy a used one now, it's going to be expensive, several strings of cash."
She continued, "Wei Jinyun, you are very famous."
Wei Jinyun took a big bite of the cream cake and felt sweet in her heart.
It turns out that their little tricks really allowed the six cats to break out of Pingjiang Prefecture and travel to various parts of the Song Dynasty.
She used to worry about not having a good way to preserve the food, that the dim sum couldn't be delivered far away, and that she didn't have enough money to open branches. She was even more afraid that if there were too many branches, the original taste would be lost.
But now, Liu Miao can actually walk out for her.
Everyone in the Song Dynasty knew about Yunlaixiang and Miaomiao Bakery in Pingjiang Prefecture.
These words came to Wei Jinyun's mind, making her curl the corners of her mouth.
Chang Siyan ate the cake along with them. Seeing Wei Jinyun in a daze, he said proudly, "I've already told the people at the bookshop that not only will they publish Liu Miao's picture album and storybook, but the book I wrote earlier, 'The Cat Slave's Gratitude', is also currently being sold out."
Wei Jinyun swallowed a mouthful of cake and narrowed his eyes. "'The Cat Slave's Gratitude'? When did you turn this into a storybook and sell it? How come I didn't even know about it!"
Chang Siyan would tell Yun Laixiang stories about the cat slave repaying his gratitude every now and then, which made her feel overwhelmed.
It is indeed attractive. As soon as this is mentioned, Yunlaixiang is packed.
but.
So similar.
"Just last month."
Chang Siyan nonchalantly picked up the spoon and scooped up a cherry bead. "Someone from the bookstore came to me and said that after hearing some of the jokes, they thought it would be a hit. They also said that many young ladies are waiting to hear the sequel."
She continued with a smile, "We've already sold thousands of copies of the first few volumes. Even bookstores in prefectures outside Pingjiang Prefecture are urging us to get more. They say the young ladies there are desperately waiting, asking every day when they can get new copies."
After hearing this, Wei Jinyun reached out and pinched Chang Siyan's cheeks and rubbed them hard, "Okay, you, don't think I don't know that you've been messing around with me and Lu Lan in there, and you didn't report it to me. I want to collect copyright fees, so don't try to get away with it!"
Chang Siyan's cheeks were puffed up by the rubbing. He smiled and begged for mercy vaguely, "Give it to me. I, Chang Siyan, will be sold to Wei Jinyun from now on... Wherever Wei Jinyun goes, I, Chang Siyan, will follow."
"That's not true."
Wei Jinyun loosened his grip and began to tickle her waist. "Tell me, will you dare to write without asking next time?"
Chang Siyan laughed so hard that he kept hiding and begging for mercy, "Xiao Chang was wrong, Xiao Chang was wrong!"
As he spoke, he suddenly ran back and hid behind Wei Rui, who was holding a plate, and poked his head out. "But Xiao Chang, if you dare to do it again next time... But please rest assured, Shopkeeper Wei, I gave you half of the money the bookshop gave me. It's right here at the counter, I hid it, you can find it yourself!"
"I really can't do anything about you."
Wei Jinyun laughed angrily.
The wind chimes at the door of the shop rang, and Zhan Wenxing walked in.
He was dressed in a deep blue suit today, with a matching headband tied around his forehead. He held a bow wrapped in black velvet in his hand, with a quiver slung across his shoulder, looking incredibly heroic.
"Miss Lu."
His eyes fell directly on Lu Lingxiang.
Lu Lingxiang was laughing heartily, but only stopped laughing when she saw her coming. "Why are you here? You're not on duty today?"
"I have a day off today. I went to Lu Mansion to look for you but couldn't find you. I thought you must be here."
Zhan Wenxing handed over the bow in his hand, "This is what Lord Lu asked me to give you. He said it was the one you had been asking for."
When Lu Lingxiang saw it, she immediately took it and played with it.
This bow was larger than the one she had received before, and the bow body was smoother.
She touched the bow and looked up to see Zhan Wenxing looking at her. He seemed a little nervous, not as neat as usual.
Zhan Wenxing pondered for a long moment before slowly speaking, "Miss Lu, I just heard the master mention a name, and I wanted to ask you... Who is Li Xiang?"
"Oh, we played together when we were kids. We were neighbors, a friend, I guess."
Lu Lingxiang answered casually, not paying much attention to his tone.
"A friend."
"Yeah, a friend."
"A friend..."
Zhan Wenxing repeated it again.
"yes."
Lu Lingxiang nodded. Seeing him keep repeating what he said, she finally felt something was wrong. She raised her eyes and stared at him, "Why do you keep repeating what I said? If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Zhan Wenxing thought for a while before speaking, "My Lord said that you went to the tea party at Li Xiang's house two days ago."
"Well, he asked someone to pass on the invitation, so I went there because it was difficult to refuse."
Lu Lingxiang responded casually, her hand still playing with the bow.
"oh."
Zhan Wenxing responded and added, "You... grew up together."
"I guess so. We lived close to each other when we were young, but after his family moved away, we didn't see each other much anymore."
Lu Lingxiang looked at him several times as she spoke, "You look so strange today."
Zhan Wenxing took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and looked down at her, "Miss Lu."
"Um?"
Lu Lingxiang raised her eyebrows.
"You're so wet."
"puff--"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jinyun, who was drinking milk tea next to him, started coughing.
She put down the tea bowl and looked at Zhan Wenxing carefully. Today he was wearing a headband, and his clothes were not the usual tight sleeves, but wide sleeves.
Lu Lingxiang looked at his stuttering and smiled to herself, "Are you trying to say, 'Miss Lu, can you please stop talking to Li Xiang and talk more to me, Zhan Wenxing, from now on'?"
Zhan Wenxing was hit on the heartstrings, his face instantly reddened to his ears, he clutched the bow bag's strap, and couldn't even speak clearly, "You, you, what's wrong with you..."
"How is it, am I wrong?"
Lu Lingxiang still raised her eyebrows, “Zhan Wenxing, don’t you like me?”
“I, I, I…”
Zhan Wenxing opened his mouth, held it in for a long time, and then muttered in an almost inaudible voice, "I like it."
"Why not just say it earlier?"
Lu Lingxiang reached out and patted his shoulder, "Don't imitate my brother's awkward style. You look good in a tight-sleeved suit. We won't imitate his style."
She looked at him even more voluptuously, "Well, now that you've said you like me, you're mine from now on."
Zhan Wenxing's head was buzzing as if a string of firecrackers had exploded.
He had nothing to do today as it was his day off, but he couldn't help but run to the Inspection Office. It was a habit.
Just now, the master casually mentioned that she went to Li Xiang's tea party, and he also heard the master say that the Lu family never cared about their family background... The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he hurried home to change clothes and find her.
Zhan Wenxing couldn't even believe his ears and secretly pinched his palm. It hurt, it wasn't a dream.
In the past, when she was fighting against pirates, she would always come to find the adults, and when she saw many wounded in the camp, she would help bandage them.
When she applied the medicine to him, her movements were gentle and her words were soft and tender. But she was also very bold and skilled in bow and arrow, and she almost never missed her target.
He liked her then.
The proud bird soaring in the clouds was lively, bright and dazzling, but now the bird he cherished in his heart said with his own mouth that he was hers.
Seeing him standing there in a daze, Lu Lingxiang waved her hand in front of his eyes, "What are you daydreaming about? Come on, let's go test the bow and see if this one my second brother gave me is suitable for my needs. Go buy two puffs and try them, they're delicious."
"Okay, Miss Lu."
Zhan Wenxing immediately came to his senses and agreed.
"Call me Xiangxiang."
Lu Lingxiang turned and walked out, then turned back and smiled at him, "Actually, I like Zhan Wenxing too. The way you killed the water bandits was really charming."
Zhan Wenxing bought some puffs and followed behind with a quiver on his back.
The rest of the people were scratching their heads.
Chang Siyan paused for a long time before speaking, giving Wei Jinyun a thumbs-up. "Shopkeeper Wei, this 'Lu' guy is awesome!"
Wei Jinyun glared at her and said, "Shut up, finish eating quickly and go practice dragon boat racing."
"...I'm not feeling well."
"No, you can beat the bull."
