Chapter 73 Why is Sheng Ran still protecting him like this?
The temperature has warmed up slightly in recent days, and the streets of Bac Ninh City are busier than usual.
Sheng Ran didn't have the document allowing her to set up a stall, so the best way was to sneak into a large market with many vendors. However, the things she was selling this time were not suitable for the morning market, so she had to find another way.
Sheng Ran borrowed a small cart from the inn and decided to go out after sunset to try her luck in crowded places.
Today we not only sell wine, but also braised food to go with wine and tea herbs to help you sober up.
Inevitably, we came to the street where Zuixianlou was located.
This time, Sheng Ran did not set up the booth directly in front of their building in a provocative manner, but chose a nearby street corner, a busy intersection.
Four male beasts stood on either side of Sheng Ran. As soon as they put the pottery jar out, familiar-looking beastmen surrounded them - not only old customers who had bought crispy pork before, but also those who had bought chicken feet and duck feet last time but had not returned them.
"Girl, I'm glad to see you again! I thought you'd never come to the stall again. My baby was making a fuss for several days!"
"Don't listen to what those people from Zuixianlou said last time. The paperwork for setting up a stall is just a formality. We trust you and are willing to buy your products. We don't need that stuff at all!"
"Yes, I bought everything you sold twice before. The food was delicious and the tea and herbs were healthy. I didn't have any problems at all! I just feel like my health is getting better and better!"
Unexpectedly, everything went so smoothly from the beginning. Sheng Ran's clear pupils widened a little, and she looked at the beastmen who surrounded her with surprise.
Before she could make a promotional board to introduce today's main product, the aroma of wine wafting from the clay pot had already attracted everyone's attention.
"What goodies are you selling, young lady?" The old orc sniffed, having never experienced such a rich aroma before. He couldn't help but rub his hands together and laughed, "The contents of this jar smell good. Let's see what kind of delicious food it is!"
Ling Rui couldn't help but proudly answer, "This is a wine my wife prepared using a special method. It smells fragrant and tastes sweet. Most importantly, it's crystal clear and tastes great! It's countless times better than those bland, impure things out there!"
Among the male beasts, he drank the most and had the most profound experience, so of course he had the opportunity to answer this question.
Ling Rui described the story vividly. As he was talking, Sheng Ran opened the pottery jar. The tempting aroma of wine hit her face, making her drool.
"Is this wine? How can there be such clean and clear wine?"
"Even if you filter the wine out there a thousand times, there's still a lot of sediment. How did you make it, young lady?"
"I want to buy a pot to try! How much is it? It shouldn't be expensive, right?"
Sure enough, with the foundation laid by the previous two times, it was not so difficult to set up a stall again.
Seeing that everyone was interested, Sheng Ran simply poured a few bowls of wine with honey and handed them to the orcs who came over one by one.
On the wooden board was written: [Fragrant sake, refreshing and soothing, 17 coins a bowl, free tasting.]
The old orc in the front took a sip and his eyes widened. "This wine... is ten times stronger than the Drunken Immortal House's Soul-Stirring Brew! It makes me feel refreshed!"
Seeing this, the other orcs couldn't wait to raise their heads and take a big gulp.
A bearded orc suddenly coughed from the choking, but his eyes were filled with ecstasy, "Good wine! This is what a man should drink! The wine at Zuixianlou is like horse urine mixed with water!"
The crowd became even more lively, everyone wanted to see how good the wine was. Just as they were about to rush over, two orcs in armor suddenly squeezed in.
They displayed the badges of the Beining City guards, and the long swords at their waists flashed coldly.
"Who told you to set up a stall here?" The thin guard in the lead kicked over the pottery jar in front. "How dare you sell things in Beining City without the documents from the City Lord's Mansion? You will be fined fifty taels of silver, and all your goods will be confiscated!"
The sake flowed on the stone slabs, and the aroma spread all over the ground. The other fat guard swallowed his saliva and felt a little greedy for a moment.
I just received a complaint from Ai Chiji. Someone is setting up a stall here without a license. If they continue to fail to regulate it, I will sue them for dereliction of duty.
Only then did he follow reluctantly.
He couldn't understand why Ai Chiji, who ran such a big restaurant, had to make things difficult for a girl.
Could it be that he is still worried that she will take away Zuixianlou's business? How is that possible? He is really worrying for nothing!
The fat guard symbolically kicked the pottery jar on the ground and perfunctorily said, "If you don't have the documents, retreat immediately!"
Things were smashed directly, and no matter how good-tempered or stable a person is, he or she can't stand it.
Raven wanted to use his superpowers again, but Sheng Ran quickly stopped him.
He never held back when he struck, and either the victim was seriously injured or killed. The two people in front of him were guards from Beining City. If there was any dispute between them, they would fall into Ai Chiji's trap.
Sheng Ran's calm gaze made Pei Xiaoxing regain his sanity. He suppressed his anger and stopped the guards, "Are you sent by Ai Chiji?"
"We're the city guards! Don't try to accuse me of anything bad, you ignorant country bumpkins!" The skinny guard acted like he was in a great position, his chin raised. "Quick, quick, collect the stuff!"
The fat guard looked at his companion hesitantly, thinking that the guard was showing off his authority too much. Did he really think of himself as an important person?
This attitude, of course, also caused dissatisfaction among the orcs nearby.
"We who are shopping have no objection, why are you kicking the mute girl out?"
"That's right, we can judge for ourselves whether there is a problem or not! We can also bear the consequences ourselves!"
"We just want to buy her things, what's wrong?"
With one person taking the lead, the other orcs will have the courage to shout.
Unexpectedly, the thin guard sneered, drew his sword and chopped at the pottery jar: "Stop talking nonsense! If you dare to talk back, I will arrest you all and throw you to jail!"
Ling Rui suddenly stood in front of Sheng Ran, fearing that the tip of the knife or the broken pottery jar would hurt his wife, and the murderous anger in his eyes almost overflowed.
Pei Xiaoxing instantly transformed into a silver claw, caught the sharp long knife with his bare hands, bent it abruptly, and stabbed the tip back into the guard's eye, as if it would pierce it straight in the next second.
The two men attacked at the same time, and the guards had no power to resist. Their previous arrogance became a laughing stock.
Huai Jun, who had been observing from the corner, suddenly sneered and raised his lips, saying, "Zuixianlou has the documents for doing business, can you guarantee that the things inside are clean?"
"They add something to the wine they sell every day. Although we don't have any documents, at least we are innocent and clean, and we are open to inspection."
Even though Sheng Ran did not continue to treat Huai Jun, there was still some residue in the medicine that Huai Jun drank the first time, which was effective.
His voice was no longer as hoarse as when I first met him, and his words were powerful.
Everyone around was surprised. After a brief silence, a huge storm soon broke out. Everyone was shocked by the news that Huai Jun said.
"Drunken Immortal House adds something to the wine? How did you know?"
Among the four male beasts around the mute girl, this one is the ugliest and least noticeable.
But if you look closely, you can also find that he is tall and straight, with an awe-inspiring temperament, and it is impossible that he comes from an ordinary family.
Everyone's attention quickly focused on Huai Jun, but Sheng Ran suddenly moved to block him, not wanting to expose him to everyone.
Sheng Ran held Huai Jun's hand with her backhand, and a thin layer of cold sweat seeped out of her palm.
[He is the prince of the deep sea kingdom, a rare and precious mermaid in the world.]
[He couldn't let others know about his shameful past at Zuixianlou.]
Huai Jun was completely frozen in place when he heard the voice that suddenly popped up in his mind.
Is this what those beastly husbands said, her inner voice?
He also gained the ability to read minds and was finally able to hear Sheng Ran's inner thoughts!
But what was she thinking, worrying about him?
Huaijun looked at the small female in front of him, with surprise and confusion flashing in his eyes.
Why is she still protecting him like this?
...Obviously, he is no longer her beastly husband.
