After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 214: The delivery guy is an old acquaintance, Nanxing is enthusiastic about the tea shop

"Young Master, are we just going to ignore it?" Nan Xing asked.

"Go home first and discuss it with the young lady."

"Ok."

The two of them returned home, holding the tea leaves, looking back every few steps. Ding Xirui had not come back yet. She and Banxia had just bought some cloth and were asking the boss to send a clerk to deliver it to their door.

"Madam, you two have already lowered the price very low, and you still ask me to deliver the goods. I will lose money!" The boss looked embarrassed.

"Boss, we bought so much. Besides, we are just two weak women, how can we carry all the packages?" Banxia said.

"Oh, you two are not weak. How about you go home and take a carriage to get it?" The boss turned around and shook his head.

"Boss, look, it's so late, please be kind." Banxia continued.

"Would you like to add a little more? Even ten or twenty cents will do." The boss turned around and relaxed a little.

"Okay! I'll give it directly to the guy after the goods are delivered." Ding Xirui said.

"You'd better give it to me." The boss smiled.

"Okay." Ding Xirui took out ten copper coins from his purse and handed them to the boss.

After the matter was settled, a young man came out from the back door pushing a wheelbarrow, put some cloth on it, and started walking towards the west side.

"Ma'am, please take off the package too. I can push it." said the young man.

"Okay, then we won't be polite." Ding Xirui and Banxia took off their packages and put them on.

"Ma'am, I know you," said the young man.

"Hmm?" Ding Xirui turned around and looked at him carefully, but had no impression.

"I'm sorry, I forgot where we met before?" she asked.

"Do you still remember Ah Sheng?" the young man asked.

"Asheng?" Ding Xirui thought back, and after a moment, she remembered. Three months ago, when they first came to Lan County, they met Asheng who was suffering from oral ulcers. In order to completely solve the problem, Ding Xirui also went to Asheng's village.

"I remember, is Asheng's sore healed now? Are all the villagers well?"

"It's all right." The young man smiled. "My family lives next door to Ah Sheng's. I saw it clearly when you went to see the head of the village."

"I see." Ding Xirui nodded.

"What's your name?" Banxia asked.

"My name is Ah Quan, and the boss is my distant cousin. When I have some free time in the fields, I come to the store to help out, and that's when I happened to meet my wife."

"Ah Quan, how are the crops in the fields?"

"It's pretty good. This year we planted corn, pumpkin and sweet potato on the hillside, so we have a lot more food." Ah Quan said with sparkling eyes, as if he was back in the village.

They chatted and soon arrived at the door of the house. Lin Mingxuan and Nanxing heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. They moved the cloth to the carriage together.

Ding Xirui took out his purse, took out five copper coins and handed them to A Quan.

"It's not much money. Thank you for helping us deliver the things today. Buy some buns on the way back to fill your stomach first."

"Thank you, ma'am." Ah Quan stretched out his hands with a smile and took the money.

When the gate was closed, the aroma of pumpkin rice wafted out.

"I'm so hungry. Is the meal ready?" Ding Xirui asked.

"There is one dish left, it will be ready soon." After saying this, Lin Mingxuan turned around and went back to the kitchen.

"I'll help." Ding Xirui washed his hands and walked in.

"You'd better go out. The taste of the food will definitely change if you stay here." Lin Mingxuan pushed her out.

"How could that be?" Ding Xirui leaned against the door frame and laughed out loud.

"Madam, if you are here, the young master's hands will definitely be shaking and his eyes will be blurry. Either he put too much salt or he mistook vinegar for soy sauce." Nanxing said.

Lin Mingxuan looked embarrassed and kicked Nanxing.

"Go out quickly, there is smoke in the room," he said.

"Okay, I'll go out. Chef Lin, just go for it!" Ding Xirui clapped his hands.

As the weather turned cooler, the table was moved back into the house. Several people brought the food and sat down to eat.

"Have you bought the tea?" Ding Xirui asked.

"I bought it." Lin Mingxuan just picked up the bowl, but sighed and put it down again.

"What's wrong? Not enough money? The tea is not good?" Ding Xirui also put down his chopsticks.

"That's not the case." Lin Mingxuan picked up the bowl again.

"Young Madam, the tea is very good. However, the proprietress of the tea shop has been harassed by a scoundrel. The scoundrel speaks very rudely and has a lecherous look in his eyes. There is also an auntie yelling and cursing at the door." Nanxing said.

"Hmm?" Ding Xirui and Banxia frowned and asked, "There's only the proprietress in the shop, but no boss? No one else?"

"It seems the boss has passed away, and she and a silly young man are the only ones left in the tea shop."

"But she seems to be able to hold on." Lin Mingxuan continued.

Ding Xirui paused and said:

"Then let's eat first and discuss it after dinner."

"it is good."

They ate in silence, and no one spoke again. After finishing the last grain of rice and drinking the hot soup, Ding Xirui put down the bowl and waited quietly.

The sky gradually darkened, and the lights on the table became brighter and brighter. Lin Mingxuan and Nanxing put down their chopsticks.

"The tea shop must be owed money, but we don't know exactly how much. However, according to the boss lady, they are almost getting the money together."

The two of them recounted what happened in the afternoon tea shop.

"That's how it is." Ding Xirui figured out the general story in his mind and sighed, but he also felt a sense of admiration for the proprietress.

"When we came out, we met an older sister-in-law who was cursing in the street. She was standing at the door of the tea shop, cursing very badly, saying things like 'vixen' and 'provoking men'. Moreover, those two scoundrels were just watching from the opposite side, looking very confident and proud." Nanxing added.

Hearing the words "confident", Lin Mingxuan turned his head and looked Nanxing up and down.

However, Ding Xirui didn't pay attention to these.

"Is that tea shop not far from the grain store where Arong works?" she asked.

"Yes, on that street." Nanxing nodded quickly.

Ding Xirui and Banxia looked at each other and recalled what Ah Rong said on the day they bought rice. It seemed that the boss lady had a bad reputation and there was another hidden reason.

"She has lost her husband and is now living alone with a somewhat silly brother. She is quite pitiful. Madam, let's help her." There was a pleading look in Nanxing's eyes.

Ding Xirui glanced at him and smiled.

"We are going home tomorrow. We don't have the time to investigate and we don't have the ability to take care of it. What should we do?" she asked.

"If there is any threat or disturbance to the public, you can go find Captain Ling. He should be able to subdue those two scoundrels by taking care of them." Nan Xing said.

Ding Xirui nodded, then shook his head:

"That's a good idea. However, we'll be leaving early tomorrow, so Captain Ling may not be there. What if we don't meet him? We don't know any other detectives."

Nanxing thought about it and his eyes lit up:

"Then leave a letter for him?"

"Well, that's good. When Captain Ling patrols the streets, he can ask questions and make the scoundrels afraid."

After Ding Xirui finished speaking, he gave Lin Mingxuan a look.

"Then who will write the letter?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"Both the Young Master and the Young Madam can write..." Nanxing felt a little confused. Is it necessary to ask such a question?

"Nanxing, you write it and I'll help you revise it." Lin Mingxuan patted his shoulder.

"Ah?" Nanxing stood up suddenly.
