"This is Master Zhou."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Wang Tai and Lu Qing bowed quickly.
"This is my younger brother." Qian Chunhua pointed at Wang Tai and Lu Qing and introduced them to the fat boy.
Wang Tai and Lu Qing raised their heads at the right time and smiled at Zhou You in a naive way, just like two silly country boys.
"I have seen you before. I saw you last time." Zhou You also said this.
Qian Chunhua smiled even more happily. This little fat boy was really a great help. Last time it was pitch dark and the weather was so cold, and he was wrapped tightly up, so it was impossible to tell them apart.
However, Qian Chunhua would definitely agree with Zhou You and say, "Yes, yes, I saw him last time. Mr. Zhou has a good memory."
Zhou You chuckled.
It was time to make the antique soup. Qian Chunhua went to the warehouse, took out the hot pot base from the space, tore off the packaging, and then took out some garlic, ginger and dried chilies.
Wang Tai was responsible for making fire, and Lu Qing was responsible for processing the food brought by Zhou You.
Wang Tai was clumsy and his anger either got bigger or smaller, which made Qian Chunhua so anxious that she broke out in a sweat.
Fortunately, Zhou You is also a lazy person and did not notice anything unusual.
After Qian Chunhua's efforts, the aroma of the antique soup had already emerged. Zhou You took a deep breath and it was still the familiar smell that he had been craving for for many days.
"It smells so good." Zhou You exclaimed.
Carrying the base ingredients, Qian Chunhua took Zhou You to the lobby.
After preparing a bowl of dipping sauce for him, I asked him to start preparing to eat.
"Young Master, do they also eat antique soup?"
Zhou You hesitated for a moment.
"Sir, it will be more fun eating with more people." Qian Chunhua reminded him. She did not have a strong sense of class. The guards have been protecting you and have been standing for the whole morning. You are not even qualified to eat now.
Qian Chunhua’s words made the little fat boy think about it. It is true that dining is more lively when there are more people around.
"Come on, let's eat together." Zhou You spoke.
The two guards were flattered and looked at Qian Chunhua with gratitude.
Qian Chunhua didn't notice their gazes; she was busy preparing the dipping sauce for the two bodyguards.
While the three were enjoying the antique soup, Qian Chunhua went out to take another look. The village was in chaos and it seemed that they had searched very thoroughly.
"Sir, would you like to serve some brown sugar ginger tea to those yamen runners in such cold weather?" Qian Chunhua asked considerately.
"No need, just ignore them." Zhou You waved his hand with his mouth full.
Since the fat man said so, Qian Chunhua had to give up. He had wanted to take this opportunity to build good relationships with the yamen runners, but the fat man did not give him this chance.
Lu Qing and Wang Tai were processing the ingredients inside. After they had cut each piece, Qian Chunhua would help bring it out and cook it into the antique soup.
The three of them worked well together, and there was never a shortage of ingredients for the antique soup. Zhou You and the other two were very satisfied with the meal.
Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted from the outside, and accompanied by the village chief, the head of the Beitang Hall and a yamen runner chief walked in with their respective subordinates.
Qian Chunhua's heart skipped a beat; the most critical moment had finally arrived.
"Several officials." Qian Chunhua stepped forward.
Qian's mother was originally sitting behind the counter. Seeing this, she quickly stood up. Unfortunately, she was too nervous, her legs went limp, and she sat back on the chair.
Zhou You frowned and looked at the few people. He had just taken a few bites when he was interrupted. It was such a bummer.
"The search isn't finished yet." Zhou You's tone was impatient.
"Zhou..., Young Master Zhou." When the head of the yamen runners saw the young master of his superior speaking, he hurried forward to greet him.
