It takes some time to braise the large intestines. Bai Zhi was bored waiting, so she chatted with the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, other people call it Qingfeng Pavilion Mingyue Pavilion, but your name is Laicai Tower, which is quite straightforward."
When talking about money, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up: "Sir, this is for good luck. Money, money, what's wrong with money? Without money, how can you enjoy the breeze and the bright moon?"
What's wrong with wealth? Bai Zhi thought so in her previous life.
She sighed self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid that money will dazzle our eyes and we won't see the clear breeze and bright moon."
"Sir, gold and silver are like knives." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "It is the man who should use the knife, not the knife that should use the man. If you can hold the knife, what's the harm in having a few more?"
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment.
The shopkeeper used his round fan to knock his cheek and said, "I have said too much, please don't mind me, I will go and braise your large intestine for you."
After waiting for half an hour, the shopkeeper brought a few oil-paper packages: "Sir, your braised large intestine. We will also give you a package of three kinds of braised food."
This shopkeeper knows how to do business.
Bai Zhi took the oil-paper bag and asked, "What's the shopkeeper's name?"
"I don't need to tell you my surname is Qian."
"Manager Qian," Bai Zhi said earnestly, "I wish you a prosperous business."
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Thank you for your good wishes, sir. Please come to our shop more often to support us."
When Baizhi returned to Yishuiyuan, it was already past dinner time.
It was raining heavily and Gu Yan had not returned yet.
Cook Xu and Lin Chuqi had prepared the food as Bai Zhi had instructed, and they were all being baked in the pot to prevent them from getting cold. Bai Zhi walked around the kitchen and called Cook Xu over: "Prepare another bowl of noodles, and then serve the food."
Cook Xu agreed and went back to work. She was very quick and efficient, and in just half a minute she had cooked the noodles, packed up the food, and then, together with Bai Zhi, they held their straw raincoats tightly and ran to the side room.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. There was no one in the room, so Baizhi simply opened the door halfway and planned to call Changfeng in.
"Changfeng."
Changfeng appeared in a flash.
Bai Zhi pushed the door open a little further: "Come in to avoid the rain."
Changfeng shook his head: "I'm not afraid of rain."
It's not a question of being afraid of rain or not. The raindrops are hitting the windows and making a loud noise. Even an iron man can't withstand such rain.
Bai Zhi said firmly: "Come in."
Changfeng turned his head and glanced at the entrance of Yishuiyuan, and said, "I'm waiting for the third master outside."
Bai Zhi wanted to ask Gu Yan what he was doing, but she was afraid of touching on a secret that she shouldn't know, so she changed the subject and said, "Worrying here will only waste your energy. Why don't you go find him?"
Changfeng said: "The Third Master asked me to protect the Third Madam."
Bai Zhi: "..."
If it weren't for the fact that this guy worked hard to protect me, I really wanted to punch him a few times.
Changfeng saw that Baizhi had stopped talking and was about to use his lightness skills to hide his body, but the next moment he saw a familiar figure in a straw raincoat and hat appear at the gate of Yishuiyuan.
It’s Gu Yan!
Gu Yan walked slowly, as if he weighed a thousand pounds.
Bai Zhi saw Chang Feng hesitated, took a step forward but then stepped back, with a very worried expression on her face. She understood that he was afraid of being discovered, after all, the wing room was still far from the door.
Gu Yan was staggering in the rain, and he didn't know when he would fall in the rain. Bai Zhi simply put on her straw raincoat and stomped through the rain to run towards Gu Yan.
His body recovered very quickly after being treated with good medicine, and he ran to the door in one breath.
Bai Zhi held onto Gu Yan and raised her voice to cover the sound of rain: "What's wrong with you!"
It was hard to tell whether Gu Yan was happy or sad. He glanced at Bai Zhi calmly and forced a smile: "Don't worry, Madam. It's nothing serious."
Judging from the clay Buddha who took the force off me, it doesn't look like nothing is wrong. Bai Zhi complained inwardly while uncomplainingly carrying Gu Yan's arm on her shoulders and holding him to quicken his pace towards the wing room.
When they reached the door of the wing room, Changfeng took Gu Yan in. Baizhi locked the door to prevent anyone from barging in and causing trouble.
Changfeng stripped off Gu Yan's straw raincoat and placed his palm against his back to channel his internal energy.
After a full stick of incense, Gu Yan regained some of his spirits: "It's OK, Changfeng."
Changfeng put away his internal strength, stood up and poured a cup of tea for Gu Yan.
Bai Zhi saw Gu Yan's pale face when she entered the room with the help of the light, as if he was seriously injured. Bai Zhi's expression gradually became serious, and she suddenly felt for no reason that what Gu Yan was doing might be much more dangerous than she thought.
It's so dangerous that it could cost many lives.
Damn, this is really a big pirate ship.
Gu Yan took a deep breath, turned his head and saw the delicious food on the table next to Bai Zhi, and said with a smile: "Madam is waiting for me to eat?"
There was no color on her lips, but the smile was too bright. Bai Zhi sighed imperceptibly.
Never mind, we're all on this pirate ship, even though it's just a deal, I should still thank him for saving my life and Qiaoqiao's life, and for carving out a paradise in this dangerous place.
Bai Zhi picked up the oil paper bag on the table and a pair of chopsticks, handed them to Gu Yan, and said with a smile: "Happy birthday."
This sudden birthday gift caught Gu Yan off guard. He subconsciously asked, "How did you know..."
"Changfeng said so." Bai Zhi spread out the oil paper package and put the chopsticks into Gu Yan's hand. "The braised large intestine from Laicailou. I didn't see what other things were given, but they should all be delicious. You can try them. Hmm... I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains."
Gu Yan held the chopsticks in his hand, staring at Bai Zhi in a daze, as if someone had pressed his acupoints.
Bai Zhi made Gu Yan shudder. He thought, "Maybe you think my gift is too cheap? This little thing costs one or two taels of silver! Last time I ordered a table like that, I only spent two cents of silver!"
"This is my first time giving a birthday gift." Bai Zhi took a long time to explain, "There is no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry in your house. You have also tasted all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but you probably haven't tasted this. I tried it with Qiaoqiao last time. It was delicious."
Gu Yan suddenly burst into laughter, one laugh after another, and finally turned into a hearty laugh.
Baizhi's heart was beating even faster.
It can’t be that it’s not customary to send food here, and you’ve made a fool of yourself!
Gu Yan smiled so hard that tears welled up in his eyes. He picked up a mouthful of braised large intestine and stuffed it into his mouth, saying incoherently, "Delicious!"
Bai Zhi finally felt relieved and couldn't help but teasing, "It's delicious and you're still laughing, but don't laugh until you choke."
Seeing that he had eaten half a pack, Bai Zhi saw that he had no intention of stopping, so she said, "Don't eat so much all at once. Can you stand up? There's a big table of food over there."
Gu Yan felt that he had regained some strength, so he forced himself to stand up and sat down at the table as he was told.
Cook Xu only brought two bowls, two sets of chopsticks and spoons. Bai Zhi looked around, picked up a teacup and a spoon and placed them in front of herself.
Changfeng suddenly exchanged his bowl with Baizhi's.
Bai Zhi didn't know what was wrong with Chang Feng, so she asked, "Is such a small one enough?"
Changfeng nodded.
……Fine.
