Chapter 46 Kiss Me
This situation also gave the two of them some confidence. The closer they got to the wooden barrel, the colder it became. Xia Yanjing knew that they were safe.
The two men came to the wooden barrel with lanterns. Xia Yanjing opened the lid of the barrel, and a whole block of ice appeared in front of them.
Shengxia covered her mouth in shock, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes. Ice was really being made.
"Yan Jing, it's ice, really ice." Sheng Xia patted Xia Yanjing's shoulder excitedly. Xia Yanjing was shocked by the strength of Sheng Xia's hand. It was so painful.
Fortunately, the cellar was dark and the light from the lantern was dim, so Shengxia didn't notice Xia Yanjing's embarrassing appearance.
"What do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Xia Yanjing felt a little proud at this time.
"Yan Jing, I don't know how to thank you." Sheng Xia said, still unable to hide her excitement.
"What's there to say thank you to between us? If you really want to thank me, why not just give me a kiss?" Xia Yanjing said jokingly.
Just as Xia Yanjing was about to explain that he was just joking, he suddenly felt a gentle touch gently touching the corner of his lips.
This sudden contact completely stunned Xia Yanjing. He even forgot to breathe and his body became a little stiff.
At the same time, Shengxia was also shocked by this momentary contact and was at a loss as to what to do. His mind was blank and he had no idea how to deal with this situation.
It took Shengxia several seconds to come back to his senses. He took a step back as if he had been electrocuted, his face flushed, his heart beating like a drum, and he didn't even dare to look up at Xia Yanjing.
On the other side, Xia Yanjing was the complete opposite. His heart seemed to be ignited, and countless flowers of joy bloomed in an instant.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroke the trace of warmth that still remained on the corner of his mouth, as if he could still feel the temperature of his lips in midsummer.
Then, he could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart. He slowly raised his head and looked straight at Shengxia, wanting to see his reaction at the moment.
In the dim light of the lantern, Xia Yanjing saw Shengxia's shy expression. He wondered if Shengxia also had feelings for him. He felt that he could be bolder in the future.
"Xia Xia, just now..." Xia Yanjing was about to say something when he was interrupted by Sheng Xia.
"Let's go and tell big brother the good news." Shengxia interrupted Xia Yanjing and fled from the cellar.
Xia Yanjing stood there in a daze, trying to keep up with Shengxia, but it was dark. Shengxia was walking too fast. Xia Yanjing felt like crying but had no tears. He didn't have a lantern in his hand.
Just as Xia Yanjing was about to grope his way forward, Shengxia came back with a lantern in her hand, her face red. "Hey, let's go."
"good."
After coming out, Shengxia had returned to her usual expression. Xia Yanjing didn't dare to mention it anymore. He was afraid that Shengxia would be shy and punch him twice more. He decided to keep it to himself.
The two of them arrived at Sheng Yuan's room, and Xia Yanjing said in a very good mood, "Brother, how was the cold noodles just now? Considering that you are still recovering from your injuries, I didn't add chili oil for you."
"It tastes great. I didn't know my brother-in-law had such great cooking skills." Sheng Yuan enjoyed the meal and praised generously.
"Keep a low profile. Big brother, just tell me if you want to eat something in the future. I'm planning to open a noodle restaurant in Xishi in two days. With your affirmation, I'll feel more confident." Xia Yanjing said to be low-key, but his expression was not low-key at all.
"Why do you want to open a noodle shop in the West Market? Didn't Xiaoxia give you four shops in the East Market?" Sheng Yuan was a little puzzled.
"This is the shop my father gave me. It's close to the dock, so it's perfect for opening a noodle shop." Xia Yanjing explained.
"That's good too. I'm sure the cold noodles will be very popular." Sheng Yuan nodded affirmatively after hearing this.
"Brother, Xia Xia, my shop is still short of an accountant, and I don't have a suitable candidate. I wonder if you have anyone I can lend me." Xia Yanjing felt that there was no need to go far away.
"Of course there is, but aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about?" Xia Yanjing didn't quite understand what his brother-in-law meant.
"Aren't you worried that our people will tell Xiaoxia how much money you earn and give it all to Xiaoxia?" Sheng Yuan joked.
"There's nothing to worry about. As long as Xia Xia gives the order, Xia Xia can take these." Xia Yanjing thought it would be something else. He had no intention of hiding anything from Sheng Xia.
Shengxia felt warm in his heart as he listened to this. Although he didn't need it, he felt very happy to hear Xia Yanjing say this.
"No need, just keep it. The accountant will be here when your store opens." Shengxia said with a smile.
Sheng Yuan was also very satisfied with what Xia Yanjing said. Although they did not need Xia Yanjing to really give them the money he earned, the most important thing was that Xia Yanjing had the intention to do so.
"Xiao Xia, go back and tell Uncle Wu to buy a saltpeter mine, arrange for his own people to work in the mine, and register it under the name of your brother-in-law." Sheng Yuan did what he said.
"That's so embarrassing." Xia Yanjing said awkwardly. It would be better to get married if she could get a mine so easily.
"Compared to the help you have given me, this is nothing." Sheng Yuan shook his head helplessly. His brother-in-law was really interesting.
"Then big brother, I won't be polite." Xia Yanjing agreed generously and no longer refused.
"By the way, this saltpeter can be reused. After the ice melts, put it in the sun or heat it. After the water dries up, you will get saltpeter again." Xia Yanjing reminded hurriedly when he thought of this, otherwise it would be a waste.
"That's great." Shengxia was very happy to hear that. He was worried that the ore was being mined too slowly and his elder brother would not be able to use it in time.
"How does my brother-in-law know so much?" Sheng Yuan wondered how Xia Yanjing, a bastard's son, could know these unheard-of things.
Xia Yanjing naturally couldn't say that he came from the future, so he could only use ghosts and gods to make excuses, "This is what I dreamed about. I didn't expect it to be successful."
Although Sheng Yuan and Sheng Xia felt that Xia Yanjing's explanation was not quite true, this was indeed something they had never heard of, and they could only believe that this was a revelation from God to Xia Yanjing.
"Brother, my vacation will be over in a few days, and the barbarian delegation will soon arrive in the capital. I won't be able to be here with you all the time." Shengxia said with some concern.
"Don't worry, there are so many servants here. Are you still worried that your brother will suffer any injustice?" Sheng Yuan was a little amused. He was useless, but not stupid.
"Xia Xia, don't worry. I will come and spend more time with my brother when I have time." Xia Yanjing said quickly to express his loyalty.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Yan Jing." Sheng Xia had some inexplicable trust in Xia Yanjing at this time.
