Chapter 268 Buying Pots and Cows



The two went shopping and bought quite a few things.

When I walked down the food street, I made a point of checking out Mo Wenying's original stall.

Now, it is Chen Liushi and Mo Wenying's husband, Chen Awei, who are selling liangpi (cold skin noodles). Business is still very good, and many people go to buy it!

Su Nanxi was certain she hadn't misread anything. She had been standing there for quite a while and had witnessed the mother and son happily accepting the money, their hands never stopping!

How dare they say they don't make money!

hehe!

This is not how you bully someone!

It's his own wife!

They even dared to sow discord, saying that Su Nanxi's prescription was no good!

I bet he did a lot of sowing discord in Mo Wenying's ear, saying that her family had become rich and even looked down on their daughter, just giving her a random prescription to get rid of her!

Is her prescription something that just anyone can get?

That's wishful thinking!

Since they always say they don't make money, let's help this mother and son fulfill their wish!

Su Nanxi took Mo Qinghe to eat rice noodles. "This shop is so crowded, it must be delicious! Let's try it too! I heard that Liu Yenan also opened a rice noodle shop like this, I wonder how business is."

Mo Qinghe had no objections; if his wife wanted to eat, he would go along with it. "Hmm! I've heard that Brother Liu's noodle shop is very popular. Village Chief Liu always smiles so brightly when he mentions it, so it must be good!"

After finishing their noodles, the two approached the shopkeeper to discuss selling the recipe for liangpi (cold skin noodles).

The shopkeeper glanced at Su Nanxi without showing any emotion, thought for a moment, and then agreed.

Mo Qinghe remembered the shopkeeper; he had once gone to their village to buy rice noodles and had also visited the Mo family, so he didn't suspect anything.

This shop specializes in rice noodles, offering a variety of soup noodles, hot noodles, and stir-fried noodles. They also serve cold noodles, which doesn't seem to clash with the menu and caters to different tastes.

The shopkeeper bought the recipe for liangpi (cold skin noodles), paid for it on the spot, and took the recipe.

After Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe left, the shopkeeper went back to the inner room and took out the prescription to look at.

The shopkeeper is Chen Liang. Su Nanxi was passing by the noodle shop when she saw Chen Liang inside, so she went in and said she wanted to eat noodles.

Chen Liang was a businessman, shrewd and quick-witted. The moment he looked up and saw Su Nanxi come in, he knew that Su Nanxi had something to ask him.

Remembering that he couldn't reveal his identity while out in public, Chen Liang remained polite throughout, wearing his signature smile and showing no sign of suspicion.

He had seen Mo Qinghe before; back then, Mo Qinghe was in a wheelchair, and he had felt sorry for her for quite some time, so the memory was vivid. Now that his mistress had brought her husband, he needed to be even more vigilant and not let her husband notice anything amiss.

Although I don't know why the employer brought her husband, since the employer didn't say anything beforehand, everything should be as usual, so that's absolutely right!

The landlord sold the property, clearly intending for him to succeed.

No need to ask too many questions, just get started!

He could see the look in his employer's eyes when he looked at him last time; he was a little angry!

Someone must have angered the boss, and the boss came up with an even better formula to crush him!

Yes! It must be!

Then he needs to act quickly and prepare to begin the crackdown!

Su Nanxi knew that Chen Liang would understand her meaning, so she left with Mo Qinghe without lingering.

The two strolled around for a while longer and bought shoes and several bolts of cloth.

There was no other way. Su Nanxi was indeed a woman, but she really didn't know how to do needlework, how to make clothes or sew shoes. So, she could only buy ready-made ones, and if there were no ready-made ones, she could only ask someone for help.

She even went to a blacksmith's shop to have a frying pan made so she could easily cook delicious food!

The blacksmith was astonished, having never heard of or seen anything like it before. He wondered what the purpose of such a pot was, since it couldn't hold much!

"Can't it be made?" Su Nanxi asked.

She knew that no one used frying pans in this era, otherwise the blacksmith wouldn't have been so surprised and said he had never made one before.

The blacksmith, with his dark complexion, was probably middle-aged and had been in the business for quite some time. Hearing this, he snapped out of his reverie and replied, "Yes! It will just take a while. Is it urgent, young lady?"

When business comes knocking, how can you turn it down?

Besides, he thought the pot had a unique design and wanted to try it out!

His blacksmith shop isn't doing very well, but maybe if he comes up with something new and innovative, it might boost his business!

Seeing that someone had accepted the order, Su Nanxi felt relieved. "I'm not in a hurry. I need this size, and the pot should be about this deep."

As she spoke, she gestured with her hands. Seeing the blacksmith nod, Su Nanxi added, "Try to polish the inside of the pot as smooth and delicate as possible. I can offer a higher price. I'll come back to pick it up in three days."

The blacksmith readily agreed, confident in his ability to do a good job. "You can come and pick it up in two days," he said.

Su Nanxi nodded. An experienced person is indeed different!

They are confident they can do it in a short time!

This is a bit challenging for someone who's never done it before!

Having settled this matter, Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe planned to return home.

As the two were walking back, a group of people carrying a sedan chair came from the front. The road was narrow and lined with stalls on both sides, so the two had to step aside and let the people pass first.

Su Nanxi had never seen an ancient sedan chair before, so she took a second look. Tsk, it's quite small. Doesn't it feel cramped for a person to sit inside?

If it's a slim person sitting there, that's fine, but if it's a fat woman sitting there, then several people will have to pull her out!

Just thinking about it makes me laugh!

I guess the size of these sedan chairs was differentiated by class!

The sedan chair in front of me is so small and its decoration is so ordinary that it probably belongs to someone of low status.

Suddenly, someone of low status inside spoke up, addressing the maid at the window. The voice wasn't loud, but Su Nanxi heard it!

She was shocked!

This is someone I know!

Mo Qinghe also heard it, and he and Su Nanxi exchanged a glance. They were both surprised for a moment, but quickly regained their composure.

It's normal to be surprised since you've never encountered this before.

The person in the sedan chair was Zhao Jinhua. Judging from the conversation between the mistress and servant, these people should be returning to the Jin residence, and they were suddenly summoned back by Jin Chenglong. It is unknown what happened.

Su Nanxi had no interest in Zhao Jinhua's matter and quickly put it out of her mind, continuing her stroll back home.

Upon seeing cow decorations at a roadside stall, Su Nanxi suddenly remembered that she wanted to buy a cow, so she dragged Mo Qinghe to the livestock market.

Neither of them understood, but they didn't want anyone to know that they didn't understand, so they both pretended to be looking at it seriously!

Su Nanxi pulled Mo Qinghe aside and whispered in his ear, "What do you think is good?"

This stumped Mo Qinghe. He had no idea. The Mo family had bought them before!

But he can't admit he doesn't understand in front of his wife, or he'll lose his dignity!

Although he has no real authority!

"Clear eyes, large head, strong limbs, and good spirits!"

Mo Qinghe just said it casually while looking at the cow in front of him, and he thought it should be right!

A cow used for work must be strong, energetic, and have clear eyes to indicate it's healthy!

Su Nanxi thought that should be the case, given that the leading young man was Zhuang Niu!

But at first glance, all cows look the same!

Both of them were a bit dumbfounded. Which one was the young ox?

It's really putting them in a difficult position!

"Young master, this is the young ox you requested!"
