After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

After listening to Huang Jiuyuan's words, she finally understood why Huang Jiuyuan was so extravagant. For him, money was simply not enough to spend.

It is really a drought that kills people, and a flood that causes waterlogging.

Helan Xuenuo asked, "Aren't you angry that he approached you for ulterior motives?"

"Why should I be angry? He only approached me with a purpose, but it wasn't a murder or sales plot. His purpose was to buy Wenxianglou, not to cheat. As for me, I also covet his delicious cooking, and I am happy to be schemed by him."

While they were talking, they had already come behind the shopkeeper of Wenxianglou. After getting closer, Helan Xuenuo and Xiaozhu could see the shopkeeper's face clearly. He was not handsome, nor ugly, just ordinary and presentable.

Helan Xuenuo and Xiaozhu looked at each other in silence.

Xiao Zhu scoffed, "This...this is what you call handsome?"

"What do you know, little girl? Men need to be savored. Good-looking ones are useless, except for me, of course."

Huang Jiuyuan laughed and strode towards the owner of Wenxianglou, shouting from a distance, "Brother Wen."

Shopkeeper Wen was concentrating on fishing. When Huang Jiuyuan called him, he didn't respond. He just caught a fat fish, stuffed it into his backpack, walked back to the shore, and then started talking to Huang Jiuyuan.

The two of them were talking and laughing, but because they were some distance away, Helan Xuenuo and the others couldn't hear them clearly.

After the two finished chatting, they looked at them. Huang Jiuyuan was mumbling something when Shopkeeper Wen came over behind him. Huang Jiuyuan introduced them, "Brother Wen, these are my two good friends. One is Helan Xuenuo, and the other is... is... Xiao... now I remember, Xiaozhu."

Huang Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow at Xiao Zhu and asked, "Right?"

Xiao Zhu gave him a cold look.

Shopkeeper Wen nodded, his words giving off a sense of distance. "Hello, ladies. My name is Wen Jing. I'm just a businessman."

Helan Xuenuo nodded and smiled.

Xiao Zhu was looking him up and down, and felt that he was far from the handsome man she had imagined, and could not even compare with Mu Kong.

He looked much older than them and more mature.

Huang Jiuyuan looked at the big fat fish in Wen Jing's basket and asked curiously, "Brother Wen, what delicious food are you planning to make today?"

Wen Jing smiled gently, "Let's go."

Helan Xuenuo originally thought that Wen Jing was aloof and aloof person with a strange personality, but after a few words, she was sure that Wen Jing was a very easy person to get along with.

Wen Jing was carrying a large backpack with water dripping from the bottom. The shoes he had just hurriedly put on were covered in mud, leaving muddy footprints with every step he took.

Helan Xuenuo and the others followed behind him.

After arriving at the bamboo house, Wen Jing led them to a large bamboo house, opened the door, and stepped back a long way. "I'm dirty. I'm going to change my clothes first, and then I'll make you some food."

"Go quickly." Huang Jiuyuan walked into the bamboo house with a swagger, as if he came here often. There were some simple objects placed in the bamboo house. A wooden brown cabinet was placed in the corner, and it was full of plates of various colors.

Xiaozhu and Helan Xuenuo couldn't help but open it and take a look. There were not only plates and dishes, but also some small bowls and cups in many colors and patterns.

She saw a pink tea-shaped cup at the innermost part of the cabinet, and she loved it so much that she picked it up and looked at it carefully.

Xiao Zhu took a glazed plate and turned it around, admiring the exquisite workmanship.

Huang Jiuyuan said from behind them, "You two, why are you staring at these pots and pans for so long?"

The two of them ignored Huang Jiuyuan.

Huang Jiuyuan came closer to them and also took a cup to look at it.

When Wen Jing came in, the three of them were unaware.

Wen Jing changed into a clean set of clothes. He looked more presentable and pleasing to the eye. He smiled and said, "Are you two girls interested in these too?"

Helan Xuenuo turned around, nodded, and smiled, "This cup has a unique shape, like a leaf. I didn't expect it to be a cup, and it can also be made in such a pink color. It's really beautiful."

Xiao Zhu also agreed, "Shopkeeper Wen, I think this plate is also very special. There are so many plates, bowls, and cups. How can you use them all?"

Wen Jing's face lit up with joy, and he began to talk non-stop, seemingly discussing something that interested him. He said, "These are treasures I found from all over the place, and I spent a lot of money on them. Some were shipped from foreign lands, and I waited a year to get them.

The pink-glazed leaf-shaped cup in Miss Helan's hand was bought from an antique shop. I spent several hundred taels of silver on it and bargained with the shopkeeper for several days before buying it.

Also, the glazed dish in Miss Xiaozhu's hand was used by the royal family hundreds of years ago. It was unearthed not long ago, and I bought it with a few ingots of gold."

When Helan Xuenuo and Xiaozhu heard that it cost so much silver to buy it, they put it back carefully, fearing that it would be accidentally broken.

Huang Jiuyuan stepped forward and hugged Wen Jing, "Alright, Brother Wen, let's try your new cooking skills. If we continue, it will be dark."

Wen Jing was talking excitedly and was about to tell them about all the antiques he had collected one by one, but he was interrupted by Huang Jiuyuan, and he had to leave in disappointment.

Xiao Zhu sighed, "This cabinet could probably buy a few of me."

Helan Xuenuo nodded in agreement.

"Look at how useless you two are." Huang Jiuyuan laughed.

The three of them sat at a stone table in the bamboo house and drank tea.

After waiting for half a day, there was no movement from Wen Jing.

Xiao Zhu couldn't help but said, "I'll go help."

After Xiao Zhu left, Huang Jiuyuan stared at Helan Xuenuo. Helan Xuenuo touched his face in confusion, "Why are you staring at me?"

Huang Jiuyuan said thoughtfully, "Why do I feel like you've grown up and become more beautiful after not seeing you for a few days?"

Helan Xuenuo, "..."

She took advantage of Huang Jiuyuan's unpreparedness and hit him on the forehead. Huang Jiuyuan touched his head and cried out in pain.

Helan Xuenuo smiled and drank her tea.

The aroma filled the air as Wen Jing and Xiao Zhu came in carrying several dishes. After he put down the dishes, he quickly took the dishes from Xiao Zhu's hand and said with his head down, "Thank you for your help, Miss Xiao Zhu."

Xiao Zhu didn't care at all. "Why are you being polite? I'm just helping you out. It's not much help."

Xiao Zhu looked at Wen Jing with a bright look. After Wen Jing put down the dishes, he avoided Xiao Zhu's eyes, not daring to look directly at her. He said politely, "Xiao Zhu, please sit down."

Huang Jiuyuan smiled evilly and said, "The spring scenery is beautiful, and the flowers are blooming."

Helan Xuenuo, "..."

The only dish Wen Jing cooked was fish. Some of the fish were fried, some were boiled, some were pan-fried, and some were deep-fried. They all looked unremarkable.

Wen Jing rubbed his hands nervously, "Try my new dish."

Helan Xuonuo and Huang Jiuyuan were the first to pick up their chopsticks and taste it. Their eyes lit up after they finished eating. It looked like an ordinary thing, but it actually tasted extremely delicious.

As expected, he is the owner of Wen Xiang Lou, and his dishes are simply amazing.
