162 Can I Trust You?
After the disaster passed, the lives of the people gradually recovered, and the Flower Festival was especially lively.
There was also a peach tree outside the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop. Unlike other shops, this was a real peach tree.
Old Madam Wang felt that the peach blossoms were too expensive, so she asked Wang Chuanfu to dig up a peach tree in the village and transport it over on a donkey cart to plant it in front of the shop.
The fragrance of peach blossoms from other families assailed their noses because of their peach blossom-flavored rouge.
The peach blossoms in the Wang Family’s bun shop were also fragrant. It was because Little Ah Yu had secretly watered them with Myriad Spirit Water.
The peach blossoms bloomed brightly, attracting everyone to tour in front of the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop.
There were even a few students who composed poems about peach trees that were. Wang Chuangui was one of them.
The Flower Festival was a grand event, so the students of Qingmu Academy naturally had to come out to gather material. Wang Chuangui followed their Master to watch the people’s livelihood.
When everyone found out that the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop belonged to Wang Chuangui, they smiled and said, “Brother Wang, since it’s your bun shop, how about selling some to us at a cheaper price?”
Before Wang Chuangui could speak, Wang Chuanyuan, who was greeting the guests inside, walked out. When he saw everyone, he smiled like a flower.
“Aiya, the Master has arrived. Quick, quick, take a seat inside!”
There were not many seats in the shop now, so Wang Chuanyuan arranged for them to sit in the courtyard at the back.
The courtyard was not big to begin with. The dozen or so students led by the teacher sat at the back, making it a little crowded.
Because there were not enough stools, only three or four people could sit.
Originally, the students wanted to leave and shop on their own, but Madam Zhang had already come in with hot tea.
“Master, students, the shop is a little busy today. Forgive me for the tardy treatment!” Madam Zhang’s voice was very loud, but it didn’t make people feel obsequious. She filled the teacups one by one.
Wang Chuangui handed them the teacup and turned to Madam Zhang. “Sister-in-law Zhang, thank you. I’ll entertain them from here. You can go ahead and do your work.”
Wang Chuangui originally did not want to come over and disturb them. Unexpectedly, his family planted a peach tree in front of the shop and attracted a lot of attention. The Master was someone who loved beautiful scenery, so he naturally did not want to miss it.
“Chuheng, stop whatever you’re doing. Come over and write a poem about the peach blossom tea.”
Chuheng was the name given to Wang Chuangui by the Master. He wanted him to persevere since he had just officially started studying.
Wang Chuangui nodded and walked over to discuss the poem with the other students.
The students held the tea in their hands. They originally did not want to drink it. The tea in the bun shop would definitely not be as good as what they had prepared. Moreover, it was free.
After discussing, they felt their mouths go dry and took a casual sip. They were immediately shocked.
“Brother Wang, what is your tea made of? Why is it so delicious!”
“Indeed, the aftertaste is long and sweet. Not only is it especially refreshing, but I also feel more awake after drinking it, as if even my fatigue has been eliminated.”
“When my family was selling tea leaves, I was also able to drink good tea a few times. But it’s not as good as Brother Wang’s family’s tea.”
Someone teased, “Did you see the Master coming and brought out your family’s treasures?”
Wang Chuangui heard their exaggeration and took a sip.
He smacked his mouth.
“You’re going too far. Perhaps it’s because the well water is clear and tastes sweet.” Wang Chuangui drank it every day and did not think that there was anything special about this water.
The well water in the shop was not even as delicious as the one in his hometown.
What Wang Chuangui did not know was that Little Ah Yu would sometimes directly put a ladle of Myriad Spirit Water into the water vat in Hu Village.
On the other hand, the well water that the bun shop used only contained a few drops. Even though the gene repair fluid was much better than the Myriad Spirit Water, there was less of it, so the taste was naturally different.
The Master also took a sip and felt that this tea was indeed not bad. However, he was the Master, so he naturally would not be as surprised as the other students.
He only thought that Wang Chuangui’s family had deliberately used good tea when they saw him coming, but they did not say anything.
It was a kind family.
Fortunately, Wang Chuangui was also talented, so he did not feel disgusted.
Little Ah Yu pulled Qin Huai to Nanhe Main Street. She first went to her bun shop and realized that she did not need to sit at the front and eat buns to draw customers.
The peach tree in front of the shop had attracted many people. Since everyone had come to see the peach blossoms, they naturally could not help but buy some buns.
As long as they had eaten the Wang Family’s buns, they would definitely buy them again.
As the Flower Festival was really busy, Old Madam Wang called her sons and daughters-in-law over to help. Wang Chuanfu, his wife, and Wang Dalang from the village also came to help out in the shop.
As there were more people, a portion of them had made some steamed buns at home. They would send them to the shop after they were steamed.
Cai Niu had never seen so many people before. He was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, but he felt very happy.
“Uncle Cai Niu, you’ve worked hard!” Little Ah Yu crawled into the kitchen and brought a cup of tea to Cai Niu.
When Cai Niu saw Little Ah Yu, he smiled until his eyes narrowed. “Ah Yu, why didn’t you go to the street to play? It’s very lively outside now.”
Little Ah Yu shook her head. “We’ll have to wait a while. Older Brother and the others are still busy and can’t bring Ah Yu out. Grandma said that Older Brother has to accompany me out to play.”
Wang Wulang and the others were also busy selling candied haws. Usually, they did not make much candied haws. Today was the Flower Festival, and the Yang Family Private School and Qingmu Academy did not have classes.
Qingmu Academy had teachers who brought their students out to write poems. The private schools directly gave their students a holiday.
Qin Huai followed behind. When he heard this, he was a little unhappy.
Couldn’t she go out if she followed him?
Who was the one who pulled him out excitedly just now?
Before she could finish expressing her emotions, Little Ah Yu stuck her head out and ran out. The silk flower on her head was covered with small tassels and they wobbled.
“Big Brother Ah You, don’t be anxious. In a while, Fifth Brother will be able to accompany us out.”
...
“Mr. Chi is also busy. We’re all children. We can’t go out on our own.” Little Ah Yu placed her hands by her cheeks and pretended to be fierce. “Otherwise, it’ll be troublesome if we meet a beggar!”
Just now, Chi Jia had sent them from Qin Huai’s house to the bun shop and left in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.
This was naturally arranged by Qin Huai.
Qin Huai wanted to say that he could protect her, but when he thought of how he had just started practicing the basic martial arts, he immediately fell silent.
If they really met a beggar, he really could not protect Ah Yu.
[Kid, there’s a temporary rescue mission. Do you want to go?]
Little Ah Yu immediately perked up. She was just worried that she could not go out now!
“What mission is it?” Little Ah Yu’s eyes were filled with excitement. “Are we going to help others?”
[It doesn’t show too clearly for the time being, but there’s a time limit. It’ll arrive in three minutes.]
Meatball had taught Little Ah Yu that one second was equivalent to one count. Counting to 60 was equivalent to a minute.
Three 60 counts meant three minutes.
...
“Ah, then there’s no time to wait for Big Brother!”
“Is it very urgent? If Ah Yu doesn’t go, will something bad happen?”
[Your safety is more important. It doesn’t matter if you don’t go. At most, we won’t take this mission and reward.]
All the temporary missions were optional. It would not have a negative impact on the target.
But there might also be inextricable connections. These were all uncertain.
Little Ah Yu grabbed Qin Huai’s hand and asked very seriously, “Big Brother Ah You, can Ah Yu trust you?”
