Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: Renewed Mind

After the two of them had eaten, they said goodbye to Yang Xu and Wang Dayi, and left with their packed things.

Both of them had to be on duty at night, so after arriving at Changlefang, they went back separately.

Li Xiaosi returned to the house, changed his clothes first, took out Li Xiaoer and Li Xiaosan's things, and then went to the backyard with the food box. Da Ge liked to eat dumplings dipped in vinegar, so he prepared them for him in advance.

alright.

After taking the vinegar, Li Xiaosi took the food box and went to Wang Xiaoda's room upstairs.

When he got to the door, Li Xiaosi took a deep breath before mustering up the courage to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Wang Xiaoda was reading the account books at his desk when he heard a knock on the door and called in without even raising his head.

"Brother Da, I'm back and I brought you steamed dumplings and soup dumplings made by my wife."

"Well, let it go! Have a good night's rest, and then you can take care of the area to the south!"

"Yes." Li Xiaosi was about to burst into tears. There were the most old fritters in the south, and he couldn't control them!

"Get out!"

"Yes, then when I go to the south, can you take my third brother with me?" Li Xiaosi smiled ingratiatingly, and he wanted to try again.

"What do you think?" Wang Xiaoda looked up at Li Xiaosi and smiled.

"No, no, I've grown up. It's time to take charge of my own business. I'll go by myself. I'll go tomorrow. Then I'll go out. Brother Da, eat it while it's hot. It's still hot!"

After finishing speaking quickly, Li Xiaosi hurried out and carefully closed the door.

Wang Xiaoda put down the account book in his hand, walked over to open the food box, smelled it, and smiled with satisfaction.

I washed my hands first and then carefully picked up a soup dumpling. There was no chopped green onion but a lot of ginger.

Wang Xiaoda smiled. Sister Yang really remembered her preferences. It felt good to be remembered by her.

It was still warm, and there was a small dish of vinegar in the food box. Sister Yang didn't have it. This vinegar should have been prepared by Xiaosi.

He likes to dip his dumplings in vinegar. Before he brought them to him in silence, the boy went to the kitchen to get some vinegar.

Wang Xiaoda smiled and said that he had not trained him in vain. Although this boy is young, he is careful and resourceful. He just lacks some experience. When he comes back next time, he will be almost ready, and he will be able to manage the affairs of several brothers.



Over there, Zhang Liu gave one copy to Yu Qi, and the other copy was waiting to be given to Jiang Bailian in the evening.

Jiang Bailian was also waiting anxiously. She always felt that everything was developing well, but suddenly there was a change. She did not expect this change at all, and it caught her off guard.

I just hope that Zhang Liu can bring those snacks back from outside this time, and she can make them after tasting them!

It was still the same time in the evening, so she hurriedly packed up and left.

When they arrived, they discovered that Zhang Liu was the only one guarding there.

"Huh? Why is Brother Zhang the only one guarding today?"

"Well, it's been pretty peaceful lately. I can just watch it by myself, and I'll switch to someone else later in the night."

Zhang Liu brought something here and had something to say, so of course he couldn't bring anyone else with him.

It happened that the person who was watching the night with him tonight was acquainted, so he told him to change the way tonight, he would watch for half the night, and another person would watch for the rest of the night.

"Did Brother Zhang go out today? What about snacks..." Jiang Bailian looked at Zhang Liu expectantly.

"I went out, but there was nothing sold in town, and I visited all the pastry shops, but no one had heard of it..."

When Jiang Bailian heard this, her face turned pale. How could this happen? There is no such snack?

"However, I specifically asked Fourth Brother, and he said that a lady made it for Brother Da. The lady was familiar with Brother Da, and her cooking skills were very good, so it cannot be bought outside."

"Madam? What madam?" Jiang Bailian was a little frightened for a moment. Is she that person's wife?

"I'm not sure about this. It seems that Mr. Hu and Shopkeeper Wang were familiar with each other, and then Brother Da got to know her. That lady is Shopkeeper Wang's wife."

Zhang Liu looked at Jiang Bailian strangely, why was Miss Jiang so excited when it came to his wife?

"So that's it. I just heard that the dim sum was not for sale, so I was a little sad."

Jiang Bailian reluctantly smiled at Zhang Liu. No matter what, this person was still useful to him, so she must leave the image of herself as a gentle and pitiful person in his heart.

"Don't be too sad, Miss Jiang. Although I didn't get any snacks today, the dumplings and soup dumplings made by Madam are also very delicious. I brought one over to Miss Jiang. Can you try it, please?"

"Thank you, Brother Zhang. This is the first time I have heard of these dumplings and soup dumplings. What are they?"

Jiang Bailian's face almost twitched, why are these things she has never heard of! Who is this lady, she actually makes all these weird things!

"Actually, I've only heard of it, and this is the first time I've tasted it. It's normal for a girl to have been in the boudoir for a long time, so she hasn't heard of it. As I said, the girl should know that shopkeeper Wang is the owner of the only rapeseed oil shop in town.

The shopkeeper, my wife, also opened a breakfast shop, selling steamed buns, soup dumplings, fried dough sticks, sugar cakes, dumplings, etc. The business is very good, and basically everyone in the town knows about it."

"It turns out that this is the case. I know that rapeseed oil shop and have eaten there. At that time, I thought that the shopkeeper must be a powerful person, but I didn't expect that the young master is familiar with it!"

Jiang Bailian did know about this rapeseed oil shop. When she still had servants at home, she had sent someone to buy it. The food tasted good and she had been using it ever since, but she had never gone out to buy it.

She thought how could she, a girl from the boudoir, buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt like those other women? She didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence.

"To be honest, Brother Zhang, I used to have someone buy it back. There is also a cook at home, so I have never heard of that breakfast shop."

Jiang Bailian had thought that the lady was someone before, but she didn't expect that she actually opened a breakfast shop. Jiang Bailian was very disdainful. She learned cooking in order to marry a wealthy family in the future. Going out to do business was not an elegant thing after all.

"It turns out that the snacks were made by that lady, as were the dumplings and the soup dumplings. So, let me take them back and try them. Maybe I can get some ideas."

"Thank you, Brother Zhang. By the way, where is that breakfast shop? I would like to have a chance to try it." Jiang Bailian asked.

"It's not far, it's just across the street from Changlefang." Zhang Liu didn't care, Jiang Bailian asked, and he described the location of the breakfast shop in detail.

After asking about this matter, Jiang Bailian didn't want to get more entangled with Zhang Liu, so without saying a few words, she excused herself and said she was sleepy, so she went back.

The kindness was hard to refuse, so Jiang Bailian still took the carton back. She didn't care about it, it was just a strange name, how could it be delicious.

If the food was really that delicious, it would definitely not just open a small shop, but a restaurant! That is where the children of wealthy families should go.

Jiang Bailian originally planned to go to bed after returning, but she thought about the snacks again and felt sulky, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

Seeing the unopened carton, she thought, she might as well try it, she wanted to see how delicious this woman made it to make that man like that snack so much!

She also had a small stove in her room, so she heated it up, and it actually smelled good.

She first took a dumpling, and after eating it, she was very surprised. It tasted really good, and she had never eaten anything so delicious.

Jiang Bailian was not convinced and tasted the soup dumpling again. When she took a bite, all the soup sprayed onto her clothes!

"Ah——" Her dress!

Her clothes are basically white, and they are all custom-made from good fabrics. If the soup gets on them, it won't be washed off at all!

She gritted her teeth. Sure enough, she had a grudge against this woman she hadn't met yet! She made weird snacks, not to mention ruining her plan. Now she made some soup dumplings that ruined her dress.

!

So what if it tastes good, she's just a married old woman!

Jiang Bailian had no intention of eating anymore and threw everything aside. She was extremely jealous.

Now her beauty has no effect at all, that person doesn't see her at all, so besides snacks, she has nothing to do!

She can't leave here either. That person stays in Changlefang all day long. If she leaves Changlefang, she may never see her again.

Regardless of appearance, family background, age and rights, that person met all the conditions for her to get married, so she would never give up!

Doesn't he like to eat the snacks made by that woman? Then she should learn it. That man can't go out often, so if she learns to make it for him, it will definitely be effective over time.

Jiang Bailian carefully thought about the next step. It was almost the end of the month. At the end of each month, the people in the backyard had a day to rest, and those people could also go home and visit.

Because of her special status, she didn't go out in the past few months. Firstly, no one asked her to go out, and secondly, she had nowhere to go.

So this time, she just talked to Mrs. Wang and used the excuse that she wanted to see her father, who was her only relative in the world after all.

As long as she found an excuse and could go out, she would go find the woman and ask her to teach her how to make snacks.

Anyway, businessmen love money. If she doesn't want to, then just be cruel and give her some money.

If you are willing, that would be great. One day is enough for you to learn two dim sum dishes.
