The blind date must happen, and the date has been set for the day after tomorrow.

Lu Yao was worried that she had to ask for leave from Yuan Langjun again.

Just a few days after I started working, I took a leave to go on a blind date. A few days later, I took another leave to go on a blind date. It was really shameful.

But for the sake of her own lifelong event and to avoid being exiled, Lu Yao still went there shamelessly.

When she reached her husband's door, Lu Yao heard the sound of a pipa coming from inside.

My dear, you are playing the pipa again.

However, the sound of the pipa was clear and pleasant, and the tune was cheerful, which showed that the person playing it was in a good mood at the moment.

Ask for leave when your boss is in a good mood, and it will be granted!

Lu Yao went in with confidence.

"My dear, I would like to take a day off." Lu Yao said with a shy smile.

Yuan Langjun stopped playing, looked up at Lu Yao, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

"I, my family introduced me to a guy, and I'm going to meet him the day after tomorrow. I'll just stay for a day and come back the same day, so it won't interfere with my work." It seemed like she had said this last time, and Lu Yao blushed.

"Is that so? Why didn't it work last time?" Yuan Langjun was really surprised.

"That boy and I are not compatible." Lu Yao calmly made up a lie.

Yuan Langjun pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay. Just come back early in the evening."

"Thank you, my dear! Thank you, my dear!" Lu Yao was so grateful in her heart. The boss was so nice! The boss approved her leave again!

The day after tomorrow arrived in a blink of an eye. Lu Yao got up early again, packed herself up, and set off.

In fact, she didn't need to leave so early today, because Caogouling was not far from Ping'an County.

When the eldest brother-in-law told her that day, Lu Yao heard that it was sixty miles away from Shanyang Village, which was quite far. But later she found out that the so-called distance was because it went around Ping'an County.

Caogouling is quite far away from Shanyang Village, but if you start from Ping'an County, it is not far!

At that time, Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat - since Caogouling is not far from Ping'an County, there must be members of the Chen family working in Ping'an County, right?

If there is anyone working in the county town, will he recognize himself as the famous Ergouzi in the west of the city?

Lu Yao worried for a while but then she came to terms with it.

Before things are confirmed, don't scare yourself.

It is not possible that any of the Chen family members work in the city. Or, even if there are some working, they may not know Er Gouzi because they work in different places!

Er Gouzi is very famous in the market in the west of the city, but not so conspicuous in other places.

For example, she now works at Yuan’s house in the east of the city, and many residents nearby don’t know her.

After figuring this out, Lu Yao finally felt at ease.

Because of the different distances, the time that the eldest brother-in-law and Lu Yao agreed to meet was a little later.

My eldest brother-in-law left early. He had to walk from Shanyang Village to Ping'an County first, then meet Lu Yao outside the county, and then go to Caogouling together.

Lu Yao lived in the county town, which saved her some distance and she didn't have to leave so early.

But she is a person who values ​​time very much. She would rather wait for her brother-in-law outside for a while than be late because of procrastination.

So, when the morning sun spread across the land, Lu Yao had already arrived outside the gate of Ping'an County.

The peak time for entering the city has passed, and there are not many people and cars outside the city gate.

Lu Yao walked along the official road for a short distance when she saw a carriage coming from the front that looked particularly familiar.

"Guard Zhan? Guard Zhan!" The heroic figure sitting next to the coachman in the front was none other than Mr. Xie's guard Zhan Ying!

The person sitting in Zhan Ying’s carriage must be Master Xie!

Lu Yao waved her hands and ran over happily.

The carriage stopped and the door curtain was pulled open. Xie Jingran looked at Lu Yao with surprise and shouted happily:

"Miss Lu! Nice to see you again!"

How could it be such a coincidence! Recently, whenever I enter the city, I will definitely meet Miss Lu, no matter when or where.

"Thank you, sir! What a coincidence!" Lu Yao also looked excited.

What a coincidence! As long as I go on a blind date, I will definitely meet Mr. Xie, no matter which city gate or village I go to.

Songyan also stuck her head out: "Hey? Ergouzi, you left the city so early, are you going on another blind date?"

Lu Yao laughed: "You are right!"

"!!!" Xie Jingran, Song Yan and Zhan Ying were all shocked.

Xie Jingran wanted to confirm again: "Are you really going on a blind date?"

Lu Yao: “Yeah~”

Song Yan's voice was sharp: "Why did you find it again so quickly?"

Lu Yao: "Hehe, my brother-in-law is a professional matchmaker."

Zhan Ying couldn't help but ask, "Last time, that family failed because they knew you were Er Gouzi. If you are recognized again this time, how will you deal with it?"

Lu Yao: "No worries! This time we found a place that's quite far away. You know Caogouling? It's more than 60 miles away from Shanyang Village! My reputation shouldn't be that high."

The main point is: as long as the distance is far enough, no one can recognize it.

The corners of the mouths of the three people opposite couldn't help but twitch.

What she said made so much sense that the three people were unable to refute it.

"You came quite early today. Are you going to visit someone or burn incense?" Lu Yao also asked.

"Today, we are neither visiting friends nor burning incense. We come here specifically for some food." Xie Jingran replied with a smile.

Lu Yao's curiosity was aroused: "What delicious food is there? Why did Mr. Xie come all the way here?"

"Are you staying at Yuan's house every day and unable to keep up with the outside world?" Song Yan said proudly:

“Our young master came to the city specifically to eat pie!

Recently, a kind of pie has appeared in Ping'an County, which is said to have evolved from fairy food! "

Lu Yao was shocked: My pie!

Songyan talked a lot and told Lu Yao with great excitement about the story of Aunt Wu selling pies in her sesame cake shop in Ping'an County.

Lu Yao did not interrupt him. She pretended to be hearing it for the first time and listened to him with great interest.

She could tell that this brand story had been slightly modified from the original draft she had taught.

It can be seen that in the process of word of mouth, people added and deleted some things through continuous understanding and imagination, making the original story fuller and more in line with the general values ​​of this era.

"Wow! So amazing, so amazing!" Lu Yao pretended to be shocked by the fairy food, and asked about a question she had been thinking about:

"This high-ranking official in the capital who is willing to share the recipe for making pies is truly remarkable. Her generosity has brought good fortune to the people of the world.

I wonder which high-ranking official in the capital this is?"

When Lu Yao made up the story for Aunt Wu, she thought she could just blame it on the capital and the officials there. What could Aunt Wu have thought about that?

But after returning to Yuan's house, when he was thinking about it late at night, he became more and more worried.

Ordinary people like Aunt Wu don't care who the official in the capital is, but the dignitaries in the capital will definitely find out, right?

This Ping'an County is well connected and has a lot of people coming and going. It's not too far from the capital. If the news gets to the capital and someone does something bad, we have to find out which official it is...

hiss!

For some reason, Lu Yao became really nervous. She felt that she was careless and did not write it well.

Now, even Master Xie knows about the pie. Lu Yao remembered that Master Xie came from the capital, so she tentatively asked him what people in the capital think about this.

"Which senior official?" Xie Jingran thought carefully and shook his head: "I don't know."

At least it shouldn’t be those officials from the Xie family.

"Perhaps, this is just a gimmick, a story made up by the boss to attract people." Xie Jingran's eyes lit up.

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat: He is really smart!

"Young Master, you are right! There are also some time-honored businesses in the capital that use this method for their own products. It is to make them more attractive." Song Yan nodded in agreement.

This way Lu Yao felt relieved.

If everyone does this, she won't stand out.

Lu Yao also learned from Song Yan that Aunt Wu's pie became popular from the second day. After a few days, its popularity increased and many people came to eat there.

The pie is most delicious when eaten hot. If it is brought back from Ping'an County to Xie's house in Shanyang Village, its taste will be half as good, so the group came here specifically to eat the pie.

"I came all the way here just for my stuttering. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Lu." Xie Jingran blushed.

"No, no!" Lu Yao's heart was pounding. "What's the big deal! This is how life becomes more fun!"

In her previous life, she often went to eat some delicious food, such as Jinzigankao, the morning market in the snow, the spicy hot pot in a certain place, etc. She never missed any of them.

"It turns out that Master Xie is a foodie like me, we are really like-minded!" Lu Yao thought happily.

We chatted for a while before going our separate ways.

Xie Jingran: "I hope Miss Lu can achieve her wish today."

Lu Yao: "I wish you a good meal and drink, Master Xie."

The two looked at each other and smiled again.

The carriage gradually went away. Lu Yao was still standing on the roadside, looking at the carriage and smiling foolishly.

I really like chatting with Mr. Xie! I am so happy every time I see him.

If we had met in our previous life, we should have added each other as WeChat friends a long time ago, right?

Unfortunately, he is a nobleman in the capital, and I am an ordinary person in the village. In this life, I can only chat with him for a few minutes when I meet him, right?

Lu Yao sighed and walked towards the place she had agreed to meet with her brother-in-law.

She still has to go on a blind date!

In the carriage, Xie Jingran covered his mouth with a round fan in one hand, while constantly recalling the pleasant conversation he had just had with Lu Yao.

Every word and expression Lu Yao said replayed vividly in his mind.

He has been smiling ever since he met Lu Yao.

"Young Master, what are you laughing at?" Song Yan asked curiously.

"I'm laughing and we'll be able to eat the pie soon." Xie Jingran said calmly.
