When the man upstairs saw that he was discovered by Mu Yingbao, he naturally waited to admire the moment when the beauty lowered her head shyly.

He always felt that a beautiful woman was most beautiful when she was shy.

However, the next moment, the beautiful person on the street downstairs put away her smile, gave him a vicious look, then turned around and walked into a shop opposite.

"Interesting." The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed again.

"What are you laughing at?" Another man in the private room asked as he stood up and walked to the window. Looking down, he saw only people coming and going, nothing unusual.

"Brother Wen, the capital is very lively. It is said that Luo Yi, who is known as the Jade-faced Gentleman in the martial arts world, and General Shang are involved. In this case, the matter of King Ning's grandson should be true.

If I were to suppress it, I still wouldn't think highly of them. Even if they found the person, what would happen? There was no official edict to make Prince Ning the crown prince. After so many years, even if the people who knew about it weren't silenced, they would have died of old age and become a pile of bones. Whatever they do now, it's not justified.

In addition, the other groups are all in the capital and have been preparing secretly over the years, just waiting for the opportunity to act.

So, I think Shangjia and Luo Yi are wasting their efforts. "The man who stood up later leaned against the window and said to the person in front of him.

"Who wins or loses is none of my business." The man called Brother Wen smiled gently and looked away from the shop across the street.

The shop that Mu Yingbao entered was a grocery store that sold oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, and noodles.

Looking at the labels written in the corner of the shelf, Mu Yingbao was very excited. In this place, he could actually see several kinds of condiments that were not available anywhere else.

For example, coffee powder, coffee beans, and black pepper...

"Mom, it really is." Brother Hui followed her and saw those labels. These were the things his mother had talked about in the past.

The things he had only heard his mother say actually happened.

"Shopkeeper, you have a very complete range of goods. You actually still have these things for sale." Mu Yingbao untied a cloth bag and grabbed a handful of coffee beans. They were from last year and were not bad. I thought they were things that had been in stock for many years.

"La, from what ma'am said, it seems that you know this thing? And do you know what it is used for?" The shopkeeper, who appeared to be in his forties, came over and asked in surprise.

"These were brought by a foreign merchant caravan years ago. I wanted to keep some and put them on display. Whether anyone buys them or not, at least it makes me think that I have everything I need. I didn't expect that there are people who really know what they are." The shopkeeper was also very happy.

I kept these items at the time, and my wife complained about me, saying that it was irrational to keep them even though I knew I couldn't sell them.

"Foreign merchant caravans? Do they all land at this pier?" Mu Yingbao asked casually. "Yes, this is the largest port pier in our Yan State." The shopkeeper patiently told him that when customers came to the shop, he would ask the waiter to greet them, but he would personally receive the knowledgeable lady in front of him.

"This thing is good, but it's a pity that there is nothing to grind it with." Mu Yingbao said with some regret.

Could it be that after buying these coffee beans, they were ground with graphite used to grind tofu?

"Mother, buy it. Your son will help you grind it. We can use a mortar." Brother Hui on the side said immediately.

He knew how regretful his mother's expression was when she talked about the coffee beans. Now he saw that they were available and could be bought. It was only a matter of grinding them into powder. It was not a difficult matter.

"Oh, how could I have forgotten about this? My son is so smart. Shopkeeper, I'll take all of these, no matter how many you have." Mu Yingbao said happily.

"There are 50 kilograms in total. Do you want all of them, ma'am?" the shopkeeper asked tentatively. When he was reserving the goods, he wanted to reserve only 3-5 kilograms, but the foreign merchant refused, saying that the minimum quantity was 100 kilograms, otherwise he would not sell it. It was only after he negotiated for a while that the merchant was reluctant to change the quantity to half.

I didn't expect to sell it at the time, so I didn't ask how to eat it.

Anyway, if someone knows this thing, they will definitely know how to eat it.

"Fifty kilograms, give it all to me." Mu Yingbao did not hesitate. It was a rare opportunity to come across this thing, so he bought it and drank it slowly.

After buying the coffee beans and grinding them for the first time, Brother Hui liked it very much, but Mu Yingbao said that it was not suitable for children to drink and that it was harmful to the body.

Brother Hui listened to his mother very much. If he was told not to drink, he would not drink. Mu Yingbao would occasionally give him a cup of light coffee to satisfy his craving, but she would still add more milk to it.

Old man Tao took a sip and refused to drink any more, but he probably didn't like it. Every time Mu Yingbao made coffee, he would order a cup. If he didn't drink it, he would just put it in front of him, saying that he liked the smell of coffee.

Therefore, Mu Yingbao later felt that it was a wise decision for him to buy all the coffee beans from the store.

When it was almost dark, Mu Yingbao and the other two returned. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw the old village chief and a few others waiting there with their necks stretched out. Tao Qingyuan smiled and said, "If Xiang doesn't come back, people will think he is a liar and a kidnapper. We will report him to the government."

The child who led the way jumped off the carriage excitedly, carrying the things that Mu Yingbao bought for him, and ran quickly to a couple.

When the couple saw the child, they breathed a sigh of relief and went forward to thank Mu Yingbao.

Mu Yingbao also brought gifts to the old village chief, including a jar of good wine and a few packs of snacks.

The old village chief was polite and accepted it.

He asked the couple to follow him to Mu Yingbao's residence and helped unload the car before leaving.

Mu Yingbao's group of three people, young and old, rolled up their sleeves and got ready. It was almost midnight and their stomachs started growling before they remembered that they had not had dinner yet.

So, the labor was clearly divided again: some washed the vegetables, some slaughtered the fish, and some washed the rice and cooked.

The kitchen was cleaned very well by the people hired by the village chief. Mu Yingbao disposed of the original plates and utensils and washed the new ones.

The small fishing village was even quieter late at night. The only sound could be heard, and only in Mu Yingbao's courtyard was there still light.

On the square table, Xun Su had four dishes and a soup.

"Come on, come on. Time is too tight today. Let's have a simple meal first. We will officially start enjoying the food tomorrow." Mu Yingbao poured wine for Old Man Tao while inviting Brother Hui to eat.

When Brother Hui heard his mother's words, he immediately stretched out his stick to pick up the sauce-flavored squid tentacles in front of him. As soon as the dish came out of the pot, he couldn't help but secretly pinch one with his hand and tasted it. It was really delicious.

"Mother, this is really more tender than what we had in Youcheng." Brother Hui said with bright eyes. "Of course it's different. What we bought in Youcheng was dried squid, and I don't know how many years it has been stored. This is fresh meat, so of course the difference is huge." Seeing Brother Hui's smiling face, Mu Yingbao felt that the decision to take Brother Hui away this time was the right one.

Looking at Old Man Tao again, I saw that he was calm and composed, drinking a sip of wine and eating some food.

In fact, Tao Qingyuan was not a foodie at the moment, so when he saw food, he didn't even bother to say anything.

Rather, the more confused I feel.

The more he spent this kind of life with Mu Yingbao and Brother Hui, the more he worried whether such a happy life could last long.

Even though this place is remote, I have seen the prosperity of Sanyang Wharf today. With this girl's personality, how could she stay in this small fishing village all day?

The dock is crowded with people of all kinds. If Brother Hui's flower list can reach Wangyou Valley, it will come here sooner or later...
