“Sir, everything you want is here.”
The waiter called out to the man, but he acted as if he didn’t hear him. He had no choice but to tug at the waiter’s sleeve. The man grabbed the waiter’s wrist reflexively. The murderous look in his eyes scared the waiter so much that his hands trembled, and his things fell to the ground.
“Guest…Officer, you didn’t hear me when I shouted.
The man’s already terrifying face was so murderous that he was like the living King of Hell. The waiter was so afraid that he stuttered.
“How much?”
The man saw that it was the waiter before he let go and asked him in a hoarse
voice.
“One tael of silver.”
The waiter didn’t dare to ask for more. He raised a finger, afraid that the man would get angry again.
“Alright.”
The man took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to the waiter. He bent down to pick up the oil paper bag on the ground and blew on it twice.
“Yes… I’m sorry!”
The waiter was even more afraid when he saw his actions. He would be in deep trouble if he threw the customer’s food on the ground.
“Go find the money.”
The man’s face was gloomy, and his voice was hostile. It was anger that had nowhere to vent. His eyes were red and terrifying.
The waiter did not dare to look at this face again. He hurriedly went to the counter to find money. He had to send this man with a terrible face away quickly. Looking at his face would give him nightmares.
The man took the change and left. Before he left, he looked back at the stairs.
His eyes were as dark as ink, and indescribable emotions were rolling in his
eyes.
The waiter could not help but follow his gaze and look upstairs. What was this person looking at?
Seeing that the waiter had noticed his actions, the man retracted his gaze and turned to leave. His leg seemed injured, and he walked slowly and limped.
The shop assistant watched the man leave before he sighed in relief. He had been scared to death by his terrifying gaze just now.
Su Qing and Xiaoying left the Moon Pavilion after eating and drinking.
Xiaoying ate more when she was in a good mood. She burped as she walked and covered her mouth in embarrassment. Her cute appearance made Su Qing
laugh.
“Is the bear paw delicious?”
“Delicious.”
Xiaoying nodded and burped again. She patted her chest and wanted to burp down.
“Here, eat the digestive food.”
Su Qing shook her head in amusement. She took a digestive pill from the system and handed it to Xiaoying. Now, she would make her own pills if she had nothing to do. When her medical skills reached the maximum level, the effect of the medicine she made was ten times that of ordinary medicine. It was even better than the medicine Xiao Qi made.
“Eh? Sister-in-law, your medicine is effective. Can you give it to me… Xiaoying stopped hiccuping after taking the medicine. She suddenly thought of how she could not take such good medicine without her sister-in-law. She almost yelled out and asked her sister-in-law to bring more medicine for her.
In the end, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Otherwise, her sister-in-law would laugh at her for hating her marriage.
“Don’t worry. When you get married, Sister-in-law will make you two boxes of medicine and bring them over. She will send someone to deliver the medicine
to you once a year.”
Su Qing immediately guessed what her sister-in-law didn’t say and smiled at her.
She couldn’t put medicine in the dowry, but she could send someone to deliver it!
“Sister-in-law, you’re so good to me.”
Xiaoying’s eyes reddened again when she heard her sister-in-law’s words. She was even more reluctant to part with her sister-in-law, who loved her so much.
“Let’s go; your face will get frostbite if you cry in the cold.”
Su Qing scratched Xiaoying’s nose. The little girl cried today and dropped a few golden beans.
“Alright,”
Xiaoying sniffed her nose to suck back her tears and agreed to Su Qing with a smile.
Suddenly, she felt that someone was looking at her. Xiaoying turned around and looked behind her. Su Qing saw Xiaoying looking back and followed her gaze.
“Xiaoying, what are you looking at?”
“It’s nothing…”
Xiaoying shook her head in confusion. She seemed to have seen a man in a cloak standing and looking at her.
However, when she looked carefully, the person was gone. Perhaps she was overthinking. He was looking at someone else!
“Let’s go!”
Su Qing hugged Xiaoying and walked back. Since she had confirmed Xiaoying’s thoughts, she had to set a date to go to Jingshi Dao when she received the envoy of Tartan tonight. She had to set the marriage as soon as possible to fulfill Xiaoying’s wish.
In the evening, Su Qing took Xing Ruhai to entertain the envoy of the Tartan Kingdom, Herkan. They used the standard of entertaining distinguished guests. They roasted sheep, grilled fish, and roasted chicken. The people of the Tartan Kingdom liked to eat meat, so Su Qing only prepared tofu as a vegetable dish. The rest were all meat.
However, Herkan was different today. He had a particular liking for the Mapo Tofu. He ate half of the tofu but didn’t touch the meat.
“Do you like tofu?”
Xing Ruhai asked him with a smile. He was the Zhizhou of Mo City, and he was responsible for entertaining the envoys.
“This is called tofu?”
Herkan finally knew that such a delicious thing was called tofu. The Central Plains was good. There were so many delicious things, unlike the grasslands, where they only had cattle and sheep. It was already good enough that they could pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables in summer and autumn. They had never eaten something as delicious as tofu.
“I’ll bring the tofu method over as Xiaoying’s dowry.
Su Qing casually said, and Herkan’s eyes lit up. He looked forward to Master Xiaoying marrying their Third Prince as soon as possible and to the tofu delicacies taking root in their plains.
During the meal, they set a date to go to Jingshi Dao. They would set off early the day after tomorrow. They would let Herkan and the soldiers who came to propose marriage rest well in the next two days.
Su Qing was prepared to bring Xiaoying to Jingshi Dao as well. Otherwise, how lonely would it be for her to stay in Mo City alone while the whole family spent the New Year there?
This was Xiaoying’s last Chinese New Year at her parents’ home. She had to be given an unforgettable memory.
She will return to Jingshi Dao the day after tomorrow. Su Qing began to prepare New Year’s gifts. There were chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs at home. She began to make tofu and made dozens of plates of tofu.
The tofu was frozen outside. Frozen tofu was delicious for dumplings, and stewed meat was even more fragrant.
When the envoy returned to Tartan, she asked him to return some. The Emperor of Tartan would like to eat it.
He also sent some to Aunt Li and the Jiang family. No matter what, they were still Shuisheng’s brothers and family.
Su Qing remembered that Xiao Zeyu loved to eat her tofu the most, so she ordered people to send tofu to Luo City at full speed. She even sent dozens of fish. Luo City didn’t have this fish, but Xiao Zeyu loved it.
When the weather was cold, the fish would be watered and frozen while still alive. Then, they would be sent to Luo City on ice. When they arrived, they would still be fresh.
There was still one day left before she returned to Jingshi Dao. Su Qing went to the blacksmith’s shop after making the tofu. She gave the blacksmith two days to make the mortar barrel and wanted to see if he could make it.
When she rushed to the blacksmith shop, the head blacksmith had been waiting for her for a long time. He was holding the thing that Su Qing wanted.
It was done.
Su Qing held the cannon barrel and looked at it. It was a little rough, but it was good enough to use it.
“Young Madam, can I?” Blacksmith asked Su Qing nervously..”
