Monster, come to my bowl

"it is good!"

"Let's go now!"

It is said that one who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and one who receives someone's gifts will be obliged to return the favor.

The two maids immediately stood up and prepared to rush to the kitchen again.

"Wait!" Cai Ji shouted hurriedly and pointed at the pile of silver on the table.

"Just take one or two taels! The rolling pin is not worth much." Lanlan wiped her mouth, stretched out her hand to pinch a small silver ingot, and left in a hurry with Honghong.

It didn't take long.

The two of them came back.

He held three rolling pins in each of his arms.

The color and texture of these rolling pins are not much different from the one Cai Ji just consumed.

"Really? Great!" Cai Ji was overjoyed and asked casually, "Have you asked the people in the kitchen what's so special about these rolling pins?"

"Yes!" Lan Lan nodded heavily, and while putting the silver ingots back to their original place, she explained, "These rolling pins are not ordinary! According to the kitchen staff, the master specially had them made of sandalwood that is hundreds of years old, and they are specially used for rolling dough! I don't know what happened just now, but the servants took them away as weapons, and the kitchen staff are looking everywhere for them."

"Made of old sandalwood?" Cai Ji was surprised.

He knew that the Xue family was rich, but he didn't know they were this wealthy.

Hundreds of years old sandalwood!

It was actually used as a rolling pin!

No wonder Lanlan took the silver back.

One tael of silver!

Who do you look down on?

"It's not surprising, actually. Madam likes sandalwood, so naturally the master is willing to spend money on it. By the way, the kitchen said that they made ten sticks in total. Since Manager Cai wants to use it, then bring six more. Together with the one just now, there will be seven in total. They can keep the remaining three and continue rolling out the dough." Honghong is responsible for providing additional explanations.

Ten!

People really can't be compared.

"Okay! Six is ​​six!" Cai Ji complained in his heart, and at the same time he ordered with satisfaction: "Okay, you guys clean up the table, and then go to the kitchen to get two bottles of different fruit wines. The bottles should be smaller, but transparent! If you can't find completely transparent ones, semi-transparent ones will also do."

He has already thought about what gift to give to his wife.

"okay!"

After eating the bear paws, the two maids were full of energy.

Putting down the six rolling pins, Honghong was responsible for clearing the table, while Lanlan ran to get the fruit wine.

After a while, both of them completed their work simultaneously.

"Go and have a rest! There's nothing to do today." Cai Ji gave the order and began to study the fruit wine.

……

Time flies by.

Mrs. Xue’s fiftieth birthday has arrived.

Suddenly, Nanshan Town was more lively than ever before.

There was a constant stream of traffic in front of Xue’s house.

Not only did local townspeople come to congratulate, but many people from other places also came.

Some merchants who had business dealings with the Xue family, or foreign families who had relatives or friends with the Xue family, sent representatives with armed guards to come and celebrate the birthday.

The largest group was the Yao clan members who came from Qinghe City.

As mentioned before, Mrs. Xue’s name is Yao Lan, and she is from the Yao family, the largest family in Qinghe City.

As in-laws, it is natural that they cannot be absent from the birthday celebration.

In addition, Mrs. Xue gave birth to a promising daughter, so the Yao family attached great importance to her birthday party. Not only did they prepare generous gifts, they also sent several of the most outstanding young talents in the family.

As for why we sent young talents, those who understand will understand.

I will not go into details about the normal activities of a birthday party.

Anyway, no one likes to watch it.

Jump directly to the part where Cai Ji actively shows off.

Why be proactive?

Because he doesn't want to be the protagonist of a melodramatic plot.

He has a big picture now!

I don't care about slapping anyone in the face!

Especially the face of a supporting role with no hair on the mouth and no brain in the shell!

So when the birthday banquet came to the gift-giving part, Cai Ji didn't wait for the host to call out who had given what, but picked up the prepared gift box and walked up to Mrs. Xue.

"Madam, this is my gift to you. It has the effect of keeping your skin young and beautiful! But it won't last long, so you'd better drink it now."

After Cai Ji finished speaking in one breath, he opened the box in his hand under the astonished gaze of everyone.

Swish!

Rays of red and green light burst out from the box.

This dazzling light not only outshined all the other lights in the hall, but also almost blinded Mrs. Xue’s eyes… No, Mrs. Xue has excellent eyes!

Beautiful eyes that look around and shine!

When the people present saw the light coming out of the box, they were all stunned.

"Wow! What kind of treasure is that? It can be so brilliant!"

"Could it be the legendary Night-Shining Pearl?"

"You are hard of hearing! Didn't the gentleman who presented the gift say that it can preserve your beauty? It was given to my lady to drink."

"That's right! How can a night-shining pearl glow red or green?"

"have you seen?"

"Drink? Could it be the nectar from myth?"

"Shh! Don't talk, just watch!"

Everyone was talking and chatting among themselves.

At the same time, Mrs. Xue, who was almost blind, finally got used to the light in front of her. She had to cover her eyes with her hands and look at the contents of the box through her fingers.

She was surprised to see that there were two bottles of wine in the box.

One bottle of red and one bottle of green.

The bottle is not big, and the wine inside is at most two taels.

But it is that little bit of wine that is emitting dazzling brilliance!

"Manager Cai, Manager Cai...is this really something you can drink? It can also maintain your beauty." The lady was pleasantly surprised and astonished upon seeing this, and she even stuttered a little when she spoke.

"That's right! The green bottle is a gift to you. It can keep your face beautiful." Cai Ji answered humbly, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The red bottle is a gift to the master. It can nourish the kidneys."

"Nourishes the kidneys? Let me try it!" Without waiting for his wife to react, Mr. Xue immediately reached out and took the bottle of red fruit wine. He didn't care whether it was poisonous or not. He simply pulled out the cork and drank it down.

A crude warrior!

Don't pay attention to the occasion at all!

"You!!!" Mrs. Xue was furious and glared at her husband. She simply followed her husband's lead and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Cai, for the generous gift. Since you said the shelf life is short, I'll drink it now!"

After thanking Cai Ji, the lady picked up the bottle of green fruit wine and drank it all in one gulp.

You don’t know how amazing it is until you try it!

As the wine entered her stomach, Mrs. Xue, who originally looked quite tired, suddenly became radiant.

The few wrinkles at the corners of my eyebrows magically disappeared!

The slightly dull skin instantly becomes white and tender!

The eyes are clearer.

The temperament is more elegant.

To sum it up in one sentence: the middle-aged woman who still has charm has turned back into a beautiful lady!

Wow!

"Wow, so amazing!"

"Is it really a nectar? Can it make people stay young forever?"

"I want too……"

"Who is that young man? How could there be such a thing?"

"You don't even know Manager Cai?"

"Who is Shopkeeper Cai? I'm from Qinghe City and have never heard of such a person in Nanshan Town."

"Manager Cai is the future eldest brother-in-law of the Xue family! He is the one in Nanshan Town who likes to pretend to be...pretend to be something the most."

"What is that?"

"It's nothing! Anyway, he is very powerful! A role model for our generation!"

Everyone present was shocked again when they saw this incredible scene.
