Snacks are always a child's favorite, no matter the time.
Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu, the two adults, also ate with relish. Their home was quite far from the town, so buying these foods was indeed a bit inconvenient.
Returning to Liu Baisheng, his initial closeness to Cheng Qingyan and the others was also for ulterior motives.
"His approachability is also for ulterior motives; it's just an exchange of benefits. Why isn't he approachable to others?"
Ye Lingyu gently spat out a few seeds: "What my husband says is true. I wonder if my husband has noticed that a restaurant called Zhenxiuge has opened diagonally opposite Wanfulou."
"It looks like it just opened not long ago. Choosing to locate the restaurant next to Wanfulou is probably because they're targeting Wanfulou."
Cheng Qingyan tossed the skewer out, letting him open as many Zhenxiu Pavilions as he wanted, as long as it didn't affect his own vegetable sales.
Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents! I hope Zhenxiu Pavilion and Wanfulou can get along well, so that maybe she can sell her dishes to Zhenxiu Pavilion.
At that time, she will be the vegetable supplier for the two major restaurants in this town.
Thinking about this made me incredibly happy.
Although the seeds for these vegetables came from the space, she still put in a lot of labor and effort to reap the harvest.
I kept weeding and watering the vegetable garden, going there almost every day, afraid that something might go wrong.
This first deal is done. As long as the vegetables in the field are well taken care of and nothing goes wrong, it will be a complete success.
It tastes especially good to buy these foods with the money you earn from your own labor.
After finishing the candied hawthorn, Cheng Qingyan opened a bag of pastries. Just as she put one in her mouth, someone patted her on the back.
She was so frightened that the pastry in her mouth got stuck, and she choked so badly that she almost passed out.
It was only after Ye Lingyu handed her the water she had brought that morning that she was able to barely swallow the pastries.
Her face flushed red, and she pointed at the culprit, yelling, "Ruan Banxia, how dare you! You tried to murder me in broad daylight! If you don't apologize properly today, I will never forgive you!"
Ruan Banxia patted the medicine box, looking confident: "Don't worry, with me here, I won't let you die."
"And you say I almost choked to death!"
"Who told you to eat in the street? Besides, I came from behind and didn't see you eating. I just didn't expect you to be so easily frightened." She said she wouldn't let Cheng Qingyan die in front of her, but when Cheng Qingyan blushed from being choked, Ruan Banxia was still startled.
Cheng Qingyan acted spoiled, leaning against Ye Lingyu: "I don't care, if my wife hadn't brought me water today because she was worried I'd be thirsty, I probably would have collapsed here!"
Ruan Banxia covered her forehead with a hand veil and looked ahead: "Alright, just tell me, what do you want to eat?"
Cheng Qingyan instantly stood up straight from leaning against Ye Lingyu: "Hehehe, let's go with that fried cake place, it smells so good it makes me hungry."
"I knew you were trying to scam me. I should have just pretended I didn't know you."
"It's too late, my wife, Chuying, let's go. Doctor Ruan is treating us to fried cakes, we're in for a treat!" Cheng Qingyan grabbed one of them in each hand and headed towards the fried cake shop.
Shen Ziyu took the medicine box from Ruan Banxia, somewhat worried: "Brother Cheng, is she really alright? She looked quite serious just now."
Ruan Banxia rubbed her shoulders: "You really didn't realize that she was faking most of it?"
Not wanting to invite bad luck, Shen Ziyu touched her nose and looked up at the sky.
When Ruan Banxia arrived at the fried cake shop, Cheng Qingyan had already eaten one fried cake and thoughtfully bought one for each of Shen Ziyu and Ruan Banxia.
However, in the end, Ye Lingyu paid for it. She was just joking with Ruan Banxia, so naturally she wouldn't let Ruan Banxia actually pay those few coins.
The group walked down the street eating fried cakes, attracting curious glances from passersby. Fortunately, none of them seemed to care, nor did they seem to mind the awkwardness or anything like that; after all, Cheng Qingyan had no intention of being polite.
"Why have Doctor Ruan and Brother Shen come to town today? Are they on a house call?" Cheng Qingyan noticed that the medicine box had been transferred from Ruan Banxia to Shen Ziyu.
In response to Cheng Qingyan's question, Ruan Banxia concealed a hint of disgust in her eyes: "It was an old friend of my father's who asked someone to find me to treat his daughter. And you? Is there something you need to do by bringing Xiao Chuying here so early today?"
Cheng Qingyan explained to them that she had planted some vegetables and was here today to sell them.
Of course, the competitive relationship between Zhenxiu Pavilion and Wanfulou was overlooked.
This kind of gossip has nothing to do with her or them.
I never expected to run into Ruan Banxia and her friends here, so I didn't even leave a single vegetable leaf. Now I have nothing to give Ruan Banxia.
"When I have time, I'll send some vegetables over for Doctor Ruan to try."
"Thank you so much, Brother Cheng and your wife. Shall I prescribe two doses of medicine for you, Brother Cheng?"
Cheng Qingyan refused with a look of horror: "I'm glad you don't mind, Doctor Ruan. There's no need for thanks."
The group laughed and joked as they walked along a street.
Cheng Qingyan suddenly remembered that there was nothing to do after the vegetables were sold out, so she had to take the opportunity to make soap.
She has a lot of ideas about soap.
In terms of pharmacology, she could take this opportunity to consult with Ruan Banxia.
"Doctor Ruan, Brother Shen, I'll treat you to a meal in town today before we head back?"
Ruan Banxia refused: "Just say what you want to say, why beat around the bush? Are we still friends?"
Cheng Qingyan chuckled awkwardly, "I'm just embarrassed. How can I let someone work for free?"
When you suddenly started staying at my house, why didn't you think of this?
Feeling embarrassed after being gossiped about, Cheng Qingyan said, "Hey, Dr. Ruan, we hit it off immediately. What's there to talk about when visiting a friend?"
"Then stop talking nonsense and tell me or not. If you don't tell me, I'm going back. I don't like the food outside."
"Please wait, Dr. Ruan."
Cheng Qingyan briefly explained to Ruan Banxia her idea of putting Chinese medicinal herbs and flowers into soap in a quiet corner of the street.
"What do you mean, 'that's all'? If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I'll write down a prescription for you when we get back, and you can just follow it."
"Are you alright? If you are, I'll go home for dinner."
"Please, please."
Cheng Qingyan and the others watched Shen Ziyu and Ruan Banxia leave; the sun was approaching noon.
Meng Chuying asked Cheng Qingyan with a puzzled look, "Brother Cheng, is the food that Doctor Ruan made edible?"
Cheng Qingyan smiled mysteriously: "How did you know it was Physician Ruan who cooked?"
"Could it be that Doctor Ruan has hired a cook?" Meng Chuying's small head couldn't contain the big Shen Ziyu!
"No, she's a brave and beautiful cook."
These words made Meng Chuying even more confused. Is this how doctors make money?
