Chapter 507: Chestnut Cake



Last time I went back to Zhou Xiaohu and asked him for two pieces of pork, so this time I could buy some more to give back to him.

Gao Wazi was the only one at the meat stall, and Song Yuehua asked him to cut two strips of pork belly.

This guy has a stern face and doesn't even smile when facing guests.

"Can you sell pork like this?" Song Yuehua asked.

Gao Wazi said, "With Nan the butcher away, everyone's pork is selling well."

Now that the Nan Butcher is gone, the remaining meat vendors can all have enough to eat, which is good too.

"How are the Zhu brothers doing lately?" Song Yuehua asked.

Gao Wazi said as he skewered the meat with rice and vegetables, "Everything is fine. Ping'an got a few orders, and Wenyan is doing well at the Dongfu Inn..."

"What Dongfu? Isn't it Yingying Inn?" Song Yuehua said.

Gao Wazi explained, "Manager Hua changed the name, saying that the previous name didn't sound serious, so he asked Zhu Wenyan to think of a few names and chose this one."

Dongfu Inn.

It sounds very familiar.

After buying the meat, Song Yuehua also wanted to buy some pressed tofu. The original meat stall of Nan the Butcher had become a tofu shop, and the hot tofu exuded a rich bean aroma.

"I want this whole plate of tofu." Song Yuehua shouted.

"Hold on."

Hearing the sweet voice, Song Yuehua raised her head and saw Widow Shao winking and smiling at her.

Song Yuehua, "..."

Carrying a plate of tofu, Song Yuehua returned to the butcher's stall and asked, "Has Nan Butcher's butcher's shop become a tofu shop?"

"Yes!" said Gao Wazi.

"How did the shop become Widow Shao's?"

"It's a good relationship."

Song Yuehua, "..."

He returned to You's house carrying tofu and two pieces of meat.

Zhou Xiaohu asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you."

"Minced meat and tofu," said Song Yuehua.

Zhou Xiaohu took the meat and said, "That won't require so much meat."

"You can do whatever you want," Song Yuehua said, then looked inside the courtyard and asked, "Did Zhang Rushan go out again?"

Zhou Xiaohu said without even raising his head, "No, he stayed in the house for a few days and even sent Pan An back."

"What's going on?"

Zhou Xiaohu said, "I heard that Mr. Jin also came to him to help with his mistress issue. He was afraid that if he took on this kind of work again, he would become famous, so he wanted to avoid the limelight."

Song Yuehua originally wanted to ask him about the matter of Widow Shao, but it seems she should not ask.

"Do you know that Widow Shao opened a tofu shop in Nan Butcher's meat stall?" Song Yuehua asked Zhou Xiaohu.

“I know!”

Zhou Xiaohu said, "They are now together. Nan the butcher ran away and gave the shop to Widow Shao. Old Shao is an old hand at making tofu, so it's not surprising for him to open a tofu shop."

I see.

Song Yuehua coughed lightly and reminded Zhou Xiaohu, "Let Xu Ji buy tofu from now on."

"Oh..." Zhou Xiaohu felt something was wrong after he responded. Song Yuehua was about to leave, so he chased after her and asked, "What did you say?"

When he returned to the chess hall, Xu Ji took the menu and was about to go back.

"Sister Song, I'll go and give the menu to Brother Xiaohu." Xu Ji said.

"You go quickly."

Seeing her come in, Lu Cheng asked Luo Guo on the opposite side to wait for a moment, then came over and asked, "Boss Song, is Xiaoyun coming back to participate in this year's Tianyuan Award?"

"Well, I don't think so." Song Yuehua said.

Luo came over and patted him, "Xiao Yun is now the last disciple of Master Miaoshou. You are no match for her."

"You are the only one who talks too much." Lu Cheng slapped him on the back.

After hearing this, Master Yu on the side became curious about Taoist Master Miaoshou.

"Has Mr. Song ever seen the Taoist Master Miaoshou in person?"

Song Yuehua spoke truthfully, "Master Miaoshou doesn't like to see people. On weekdays, the door is always closed to the outside. I only saw him from a distance once."

“He is indeed a hermit and a master.” Master Yu sighed.

The three of them nodded sincerely.

Song Yuehua asked, "Isn't Mr. Yu here?"

It is still curious that one person is suddenly missing from the perennial four-member group.

Lu Cheng was a little curious, "Song Dongjia, don't you know?"

"Should I know?" Song Yuehua looked at Zhao Xiaofu.

Zhao Xiaofu said, "Mr. Yu had a falling out with his family. He has no source of money and now even has trouble eating."

"Fell out?"

Zhao Xiaofu nodded, "For my own marriage..."

Seeing the three heads still lying on the counter, Zhao Xiaofu stopped talking and said with a smile, "The chess pieces are here, please go over quickly."

Lu Cheng and the other two smiled awkwardly, took the chess pieces and left.

After there were no more people left, Zhao Xiaofu whispered to Song Yuehua, "Yu Duocai wanted to marry Sister Xiao Cui, but his family members were unwilling to do so after inquiring."

"That's not right," Song Yuehua said, "I heard that the matchmaker who came to the village to inquire was asked by a government official. I thought it was Wu Zheng."

How did it become Yu Duocai? Did the villagers hear it wrong?

Zhao Xiaofu was not very clear either, and only said, "Sister Xiaocui has been injured before, and the Yu family is a family of scholars, so the Yu family's parents cannot accept not having an heir."

"How do you know?" Song Yuehua asked with a smile.

Zhao Xiaofu pointed at Luo Guo and said, "Luo Guo told Xiao Yu that the three of them have been giving advice to Yu Duocai. However, they don't seem to know that the person Yu Duocai is proposing to marry is Sister Xiao Cui."

This person is quite careful, Song Yuehua thought.

“This is not an easy matter to resolve.”

Zhao Xiaofu also said, "That's right. The Yu family has a very good family tradition and does not allow the younger generation to take concubines. Yu Duocai has no such plan. Without incense, I guess most people can't stand it."

"So, they threw Yu Duocai out now just to make him give up?" Song Yuehua asked, "Does Xiao Cui know about this?"

Zhao Xiaofu nodded, "You should know."

I don’t know what Xiao Cui herself thinks about this matter.

There were more and more customers in the chess hall, and Luo Guo ran out and ran in again.

"Xiaoyu, this is the chestnut cake I just bought from East Street. Come and try it and see if you like it."

Luo Guo quickly handed over the snack in his arms.

Xiang Xiaoyu saw Song Yuehua staring at her and quickly took the chestnut cake.

"Don't yell!"

"What?" Luo Guo was still asking.

Xiang Xiaoyu hissed at him heavily.

After delivering the things, Luo Guo went to play chess with Master Yu and others.

Xiang Xiaoyu awkwardly placed the chestnut cake in front of Song Yuehua and Xiaofu.

"Don't tease me after eating snacks." Xiang Xiaoyu said with a red face.

Zhao Xiaofu picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes and smiling, "It's so sweet, it makes my teeth hurt."

"You bad girl, give the chestnut cake back to me." Xiang Xiaoyu was so angry that she covered her face, snorted, and ran to the backyard.

Song Yuehua also tasted a bite of the chestnut cake and said with a smile, "You two have a really good relationship."

"Sister Song, shouldn't you say that they have a good relationship?" Zhao Xiaofu said, turning his head.

It was not until she had eaten a whole piece of chestnut cake that Song Yuehua reacted. She let out a "oh", her eyes widened, and she started burping again.

"They... Luo Guo and Xiao Yu?"

Zhao Xiaofu nodded helplessly.
