He Yanxiu obviously recognized the taste of this cup of tea and nodded slightly.

"Have the second master had lunch?" Su Yujin asked.

"It took me almost two hours to get here from the capital, and I haven't had lunch yet." He Yanxiu replied.

"Then let me make some dishes for the second master." Su Yujin thought for a while and said, "It's a wet and cold rainy day, why not make a dish of assorted mushrooms and ham stewed cabbage hearts?"

He Yanxiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "What did you eat just now?"

Smelling it, it seems to be quite fragrant.

And seeing that Su Yujin’s mouth was full of oil after eating, it must taste good.

"Shabu-boiled mutton in a copper pot." Su Yujin replied, "Do you want to eat this?"

"Just eat this." He Yanxiu paused again, "Add half a bowl of wontons."

The wontons I ate last time seemed to taste good and smelled delicious.

"Second Master, please wait a moment. The maid will go and make preparations right now." Su Yujin was blessed and called Mugwort and Liu's mother to prepare the copper pot for shabu-shabu.

I cut the mutton by hand, washed various vegetables, sliced ​​them and arranged them on the plate, and hurriedly made a few wontons that He Yanxiu wanted.

In addition, Su Yujin asked Mama Liu to make some noodles and keep them awake, preparing to pull out two noodles for He Yanxiu to taste later.

After all, hotpot is incomplete without noodles!

Everything is ready, the charcoal fire is boiling, and the delicate copper pot is steaming.

Boil the soup and cook the meat.

Pieces of fresh and tender mutton, lightly rinsed, taste tender and juicy without any fishy smell.

He Yanxiu took a bite and nodded slightly, "It tastes good."

"That's fine, Second Master, if you like it." Su Yujin put some vegetables and tofu skins into the pot and asked He Yanxiu to eat them with it.

With a small charcoal stove and a small pot, you can't cook too much at once, so you can only eat slowly.

But this way of eating is quite comfortable and satisfying. It allows He Yanxiu, who is extremely busy on weekdays, to enjoy a rare moment of leisure and freedom. There is no extra urging, and Su Yujin does not even need to wait on the side. He just prepares and eats it himself.

The meal of copper pot shabu-shabu lasted for an hour. Finally, after finishing half a bowl of wontons and eating two noodles, He Yanxiu finally put down his chopsticks.

Su Yujin asked Ai Cao and Mama Liu to remove the charcoal stove, copper pot and other things and replace them with a cup of freshly brewed tea.

I bought it at a tea shop in the county some time ago. Pu'er has the effect of digesting and regulating qi. It is quite suitable to drink a cup after a meal.

This arrangement seemed to make He Yanxiu feel very comfortable, because Su Yujin saw the faint smile on his face.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that she was mistaken.

But after finishing the meal, Su Yujin was in trouble.

After all, eating is a serious matter. Although she is a little busy cooking meat and serving vegetables on the side, she still has a job to do, but now she is full and full...

What should she do?

Just when Su Yujin was hesitant about what to do, He Yanxiu took a book from Xing'an and sat at the table to read at will.

Su Yujin became increasingly confused about what to do, so she had to make another pot of tea for He Yanxiu and prepare some refreshments.

After finishing his work, He Yanxiu raised his hand to her and said, "Sit down."

"...Yes, Second Master."

Su Yujin, who originally wanted to find an excuse to sneak away, could only sit down as instructed.

Sitting quietly, watching the drizzle outside, the rainwater gurgling on the porch, the melon seeds, orchid beans, peanut cakes on the table, and the thread sticking out of my sleeve.

If you get tired of watching it, start over from the beginning.

…

After burning the incense for a while, Su Yujin pinched her thigh to suppress the drowsiness that made her want to yawn.

Being tired after eating is a common practice no matter where you go.

What's more, He Yanxiu seems to be enjoying reading while sitting here, but she is just sitting here, really bored.

At first, Su Yujin steeled herself to count the melon seeds on the plate on the table, but as she continued to count, her eyelids gradually started to fight, and she could only rely on her hands to support her chin.

But despite this, Su Yujin still felt that her mind went blank from time to time...

After noticing that the person next to him had taken a nap for the fifth time, He Yanxiu put down the tea he had taken a sip and took a piece of peanut cake into his mouth.

The crispy flavor spreads in your mouth.

He Yanxiu's brows wrinkled slightly, but he soon relaxed. He put the peanut cake he took a bite back on the plate and cleared his throat, "The rain outside seems to have stopped."

Suddenly hearing the sound, Su Yujin was startled, and most of her sleepiness disappeared. She hurriedly raised her eyes and said, "It's stopped."

"How is your wonton stall business these days?" He Yanxiu asked.

"Second Master Lao, I remember that the wonton stall has been closed for a long time..."

"Oh?" He Yanxiu put down the book in his hand, "Why don't you open it? The wontons taste pretty good to me."

The tastes of the people in Qinghe County are so picky that they don't even approve of wontons like this, so that Su Yujin's wonton stall can't open?

"The wontons tasted good, so I bought a shop, added noodles, mutton soup, etc., and opened a restaurant named Su Kee."

Su Yujin smiled and said, "Thanks to the second master, Su Ji now has seven or eight clerks busy, and the business is full every day. The business is not bad for the time being."

He Yanxiu, "..."

It's not that it can't be opened, but it's just that it has changed from a small stall to a restaurant, which is a level higher.

It's because his vision is narrow!

But Su Yujin just said that he bought a shop?

The shop in Qinghe County is worth at least about 400 taels. Last time he gave Su Yujin 200 taels. Even Su Yujin's wonton stall can be sold for some money. The cost of buying this shop, plus the assistant, and opening the shop...

I'm afraid Su Yujin is a little stretched at this time.

He Yanxiu thought for a while, called Xing'an over, took out a banknote and handed it to Su Yujin, "Business is always difficult at the beginning, and money is needed everywhere. You can take these, don't be too frugal."

Seeing the three hundred taels clearly written on the bank note, Su Yujin was overjoyed and hurriedly took it, "Thank you, Mr. Er."

Then, he happily stuffed it into the purse hanging on his waist.

Perhaps because she felt that it was not safe to put it in her purse, Su Yujin got up again and went into the inner room. She took out the banknotes from her purse and put it in the small wooden box of the dowry. She locked it again and sat back down.

"Thank you, Second Master." Su Yujin thanked him again.

I was so happy to get the money, but I thought I was really short of money.

She had previously said that she could write to the capital if she had anything to do, but now that it was nearly half a year ago, Su Yujin had not asked for help once.

Probably because you want to do your duty as an outsider and don't want to cause trouble to him?
