Chapter 85 Qin Yan is back
The beverage shop that Li Xiaoshu just mentioned was also a coincidence.
Old man Zhu had been studying how to make tofu, but he never figured it out.
He also heard from people in the village who had been to Youran Ju that there were a lot of delicious food there.
He took Diao and secretly went to the town, wanting to see what kind of shop the vixen's son had opened.
As soon as they entered the store, they were shocked by the many foods they had never seen before. He ordered two bowls of soy milk.
He found a corner to sit down and pushed the other bowl to Diao.
Diao had been living in fear during this period, and her spirit was severely tortured. Looking at the soy milk in front of her, she swallowed her saliva, held the bowl and drank it.
I burped after drinking it.
This caused the guests next to them to look at them with disgust.
Old man Zhu felt embarrassed and looked at her hatefully.
She was so scared that she quickly left her seat and ran to the door to wait.
After a while, Old Man Zhu came out without saying a word. He stared at Youranju for a long time and then took her back.
After he got back, he said he wanted to sell drinks.
Diao got a headache when he heard this. The beans in his family were not good ones. Even if he bought them from fellow villagers, they would not sell them. Wouldn't it be better to exchange them for a piece of tofu?
But Diao didn't dare to say it.
You can only do it anyway.
No one uses the mill now, so it is much more convenient for her.
She carried the ground starch and staggered home.
It is not difficult to cook soy milk. Old man Zhu cooks it every day and has figured out some tricks now.
He cooked it and served a bowl to Diao, "Would you like to try it?"
Diao knew what she was talking about and picked up the bowl and drank.
Although she drank it in a hurry last time, she could still taste that the soy milk tasted very sweet.
"It's almost...close." After saying this, Diao stared at Old Man Zhu nervously, afraid of being scolded.
Let's go to town to set up a stall tomorrow.
Diao's heart skipped a beat and she wanted to die.
Bring Zhu Fu and the others along as well.
Zhu Meili and Zhu Fu huddled in the corner, not daring to speak.
The next morning, they finally made it to the town. It was cold in winter and few people were setting up stalls. Old man Zhu and his three companions were shivering in the cold wind.
A passerby was curious about what was being sold, and saw that it was soy milk. He asked and found out that the price was the same as Youran Ju, but it didn’t look as good as Youran Ju’s, so he turned his lip and walked away.
Later, Old Man Zhu was so angry that he lowered the price to two bowls for one penny, and he barely sold some.
Diao calculated that not much was sold today, which was not enough to make her busy.
She, Zhu Fu and Zhu Meili carried the soy milk and walked for the whole morning until they were so tired that they could not stand.
Zhu Fu looked like he was about to die of exhaustion, and Zhu Meili also looked tired and resentful.
It’s getting dark. If we don’t go back now, it will be too late.
Just as Diao was about to speak, she heard a voice.
"Fourth Uncle Zhu?"
Old man Zhu didn't react for a moment. After all, no one had called him that for a long time.
He turned around and saw the man in front of him, dressed in a brocade cotton coat, looking very impressive. He quickly put on a smile and asked, "Who are you, young man?"
The man said politely, "My father is Zhu Da. Uncle, don't you remember me? I'm Zhu Huan!"
Zhu Laosi remembered Zhu Da from their Zhujia Village. He thought Zhu Da and his family had died long ago, but it seemed that they were doing well.
Zhu Huan didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked, "Uncle, you must be working so hard in this freezing weather. What are you selling?"
Old man Zhu filled a bowl of soy milk and brought it over. "It's not expensive, nephew, just drink it."
Zhu Huan is planning to open a shop selling food similar to Youran Ju recently.
His eyes rolled around. Could it be that Fourth Uncle Zhu was also...
Zhu Huan asked directly: "The soy milk cooked by Fourth Uncle is the most like the one cooked by Youran Ju that I have ever tasted. I didn't expect that Uncle has such a skill!"
Old Man Zhu waved his hands embarrassedly and said, "Ignorance."
Zhu Huan inquired, "Fourth Uncle, I heard that the owner of Youranju is from your village?"
Old Man Zhu nodded: "He is the son of Mr. Xie from our village."
Zhu Huan nodded: "He is quite talented."
After that, the two of them had a conversation. Zhu Huan felt from their words that Old Man Zhu seemed to be displeased with the owner of Youran Ju, so he decided to bring him in.
This is how the shops on the back street of Tianshui Lane came into being.
However, Xie Shuangbai knew nothing about this and didn't care. He actually didn't care whether there were a few more identical shops.
Because there is no comparison, the taste of the food in his shop cannot be imitated by others.
What's more, it's the same in modern times. If something becomes popular, people will imitate it the next day.
What else can we do except improve ourselves and do better and better?
Let’s talk about Mu Ning. After he returned, he immediately sent a message to Qin Yan.
Qin Yan received a message half a month ago saying that the prince and the young master were attacked and their whereabouts were unknown.
After hearing the news, I hurried back.
He has sent people to inquire in many ways these days, but there is still no news.
Qin Yan glanced at Rong Yi and sighed.
He leaned against the bed. His injuries were no longer serious, but his pale face was filled with worry.
Seeing him half dead every day, Qin Yan comforted him, "Rong Yi, this is not your fault. You were ambushed at that time. If you were not lucky enough to be discovered by your brothers, you would have been in great danger. The prince is blessed with good fortune and the young master will be safe!"
Rong gets angry when he thinks of that day.
If they hadn't been ambushed, they wouldn't have lost the prince and the young master by now!
For a moment, even the air was filled with sorrow.
Just then the soldier brought a letter.
The letter was from Mu Ning. It contained a tofu recipe and she also said that she missed him and wanted him to come back.
Qin Yan's face lightened slightly after reading the letter. He finally had some good news after these days.
He also missed Mu Ning a little.
He patted Rong Yi's shoulder and said, "Why don't you come with me to Rongcheng, and let Rong San continue to guard this place."
Rong nodded. They had already searched Fencheng and Bincheng. Rongcheng also searched hurriedly at that time, but there were bound to be omissions. It would be better to go and have another look.
That day, Qin Yan gave the tofu recipe given by Xie Shuangbai to Rong San, and asked him to find a reliable person to make the tofu, and to keep an eye on it and not leak the recipe.
Afterwards, he took Rongyi from Bincheng to Rongcheng.
They rode at full speed on the way and arrived in Rongcheng in one day and one night.
It was already dark when Qin Yan arrived at Mu Ning's place.
As soon as he settled down, he went straight to Mu Ning.
When the butler saw that it was Qin Yan, he politely took him to find Mu Ning.
Qin Yan rushed all the way and washed his face before going to Mu Ning's house.
Mu Ning was afraid of the cold and had been huddled in the house for a long time.
When he heard steady footsteps on the bed, he knew that it was Qin Yan, whom he had been thinking about.
He happily jumped off the bed and pounced on the person who came.
Qin Yan saw him coming down barefoot and frowned, "Be careful not to catch a cold! My clothes are still dirty and I haven't changed them yet."
Mu Ning closed his eyes and hugged Qin Yan tightly: "It's not dirty."
Seeing him like this, Qin Yan missed him very much and hugged him, which scared Mu Ning so much that he hugged his neck tightly.
Mu Ning's face was pressed against Qin Yan's neck. Seeing that his mouth was chapped, it was probably because he had been traveling all night and had no time to drink water.
He stared at the chapped lips, as if bewitched, and suddenly wanted to taste them.
Just for a moment! Mu Ning thought.
He was so shy that his wet lips rubbed against hers quickly.
Qin Yan paused holding his hand and nervously put him on the thick quilt.
Qin Yan was visibly flustered, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. He covered Mu Ning with a blanket while admonishing him, "Don't catch a cold, or you won't be able to handle it!"
Mu Ning was still thinking about the touch just now. He curled up into the quilt, leaving only his head outside looking at Qin Yan.
Mu Ning was afraid he would get angry, so she whispered, "Why don't you go take a shower? You must be tired from traveling all the way here. Take a shower to relieve your fatigue."
Qin Yan smelled his body and thought it was time to wash, as it smelled of dust.
