Yesterday, he had just rushed back to the capital from other prefectures, only to find himself missing out on that uniquely flavored spicy hot pot once again.
I heard that this mala tang (spicy hot pot) not only offers meat and vegetarian options, but also includes staple foods, making it a truly comprehensive meal.
What makes it even more mouthwatering is its unique taste, a blend of spiciness and scalding heat that is irresistible.
It's so addictive that you can't stop eating it.
It made him really eager to try it.
"Miss Yun, I wonder if I will still have the chance to taste the delicious mala tang you used to sell at your stall?"
After receiving the silver, Yun Zhizhi was about to happily leave Fuju Restaurant and continue her journey to the embroidery workshop when she suddenly heard these words, and a bright smile bloomed on her face:
"Mr. Xu, although I no longer sell this spicy hot pot, if you really want to eat it, I will definitely come to Fuju Restaurant and cook a bowl for you myself after I finish this busy period."
Seeing how eager she was to leave, Xu Junshen couldn't help but chuckle softly and teased, "It seems Miss Yun is even busier than me, the owner. But that's alright. As long as I can taste this unique spicy hot pot, I'm willing to wait patiently."
Yun Zhizhi scratched her head sheepishly and replied, "I was just busy doing nothing. I'm nowhere near as capable as Master Xu, who manages over twenty restaurants. I've just been busy with the next stall event, so I've been a bit busier than before."
"Otherwise, I'd be too embarrassed to admit to my lazy, half-hearted lifestyle. Hehehe!"
Seeing her radiant smile and how she even joked about him, Xu Junshen couldn't help but smile slightly. "Miss Yun, you're being too modest."
He paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Would it be convenient to tell me in advance where you'll be setting up your stall next time, and what you'll be selling? I'd like to personally visit you then, as I happen to be in the capital recently."
Yun Zhizhi blinked, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Next time I'll set up a stall to sell dolls. They're very cute and fun toys that are not only suitable for children to play with, but also provide them with companionship and emotional comfort."
"Moreover, these dolls can also be used as decorations to adorn the room on ordinary days."
At this point, Yun Zhizhi smiled mischievously and continued, "As for where we'll set up our stall, I'll keep you in suspense for now. On the day we set up our stall, I'll send someone to Fuju Restaurant to tell you the exact location."
She was too embarrassed to tell him directly that she would set up a stall in front of the brothel next time.
So it's better to tell him later.
Otherwise, he would treat her like a fool.
Upon hearing this, Xu Junshen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and he said softly, "Okay, then I will wait here for your good news."
His gaze followed Yun Zhizhi until her figure disappeared from sight.
Watching her hurried departure, Xu Junshen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He had originally planned to take this opportunity to invite her to go see the lanterns together on the Lantern Festival, but seeing how busy she was, he had to give up the idea for the time being.
After all, there are still more than half a month until the Moon Festival.
No rush.
Xu Junshen had to admit that his curiosity about Yun Zhizhi was growing stronger, and he was also increasingly appreciating her talent and charm.
She was completely different from the other women who stayed at home and waited to be married. While other women stayed quietly in their homes practicing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she traveled around, setting up stalls to earn money.
Moreover, everything she sells is novel, unique, and unforgettable, and it sells very well.
Furthermore, she was lively and playful, not at all pretentious, and very quick-witted. He wouldn't be opposed to spending the rest of his life with such a remarkable woman; on the contrary, he would be filled with anticipation.
However, what he didn't know was that someone else had already gotten there first.
For three consecutive days, Yun Zhizhi went to the velvet embroidery workshop every day to make dolls with the embroiderers.
Since none of the embroiderers had ever made dolls before and were not yet skilled, she planned to personally supervise them in the early stages to ensure their peace of mind.
In addition, she also plans to work with the embroiderer to make the mascot costumes she will wear for the six days she sets up her stall.
Yesterday, she sent someone to measure Lazy Yangyang's clothing size. She plans to make three No-Face doll costumes, one for herself and one for Lazy Yangyang, and the other for Lazy Yangyang's revenge.
A senior embroiderer in the workshop was in charge of making the faceless doll costume, but she frowned throughout the entire process.
At first, she was very curious about who would be so foolish as to wear such ugly clothes in public.
However, she no longer dared to be curious.
Among the three people who couldn't think straight, Miss Yun, the great heroine who brought the workshop back to life, was one of them.
At the beginning of Shen Shi (3-5 PM), Yun Zhizhi dressed up in men's clothing, once again transforming herself into a man. Holding the third meticulously crafted faceless male doll costume, she hurriedly led Zhao Wu to Yanyu Tower.
At this moment, Ghost Foot Seven sat in the Misty Rain Pavilion with a sorrowful expression, sighing and lamenting.
He hasn't received any orders for over half a month.
Are we going to starve this month?
Just as he was feeling worried, a messenger from the Misty Rain Pavilion came to tell him: "Ghost Foot Seven, a young man specifically asked you to do something for him."
Ghost Foot Seven's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
Great, finally some work has arrived!
I wonder which sucker came to him, a江湖人士 (jianghu figure) who never has repeat customers, for help. They really have good taste!
