This old monk must be wearing witch-colored lipstick.

As for why he knew this color, it was because his daughter bought one from Yun Zhizhi's stall last time and gave it to his wife.

From that day on, his wife applied it every day.

But the effect is not very good.

It could be said that it was like he was looking directly at the Black Mountain Demon, and it gave him nightmares.

Since Master Xuanzhen was playing dirty tricks, the grandfather and grandson were not willing to be outdone and followed suit.

Then, Fang Zheng leaned close to his granddaughter's ear and whispered a few words.

Fang Rangrang was a smart little girl and she understood it immediately.

This time they lined up for lotus root meatballs.

When it was their turn, Fang Rangrang closed her eyes and quickly fell into Fang Zheng's arms.

The movements are very smooth.

Fang Zheng exclaimed, "My dear granddaughter, why did you faint? Wake up!"

Fang Rangrang pretended to be weak and said, "Grandpa, I'm so hungry!"

So he said to the woman serving the food, "Hey! My grandfather and I had our money bags stolen by thieves, and we haven't eaten for two days. Please have pity on us and give us more food!"

The people queuing around started pointing and talking.

"This old man and this child are really pitiful."

"Yes, give them more!"

"Yes, yes, give them more, we don't mind."

.........

Fang Zheng was secretly pleased when he heard these discussions.

It seems that this method is quite effective!

Just when the plan was about to succeed, someone unexpectedly appeared.

"Cheng Yaojin" is Yun Zhizhi who just went to the toilet to have a bowel movement.

It was really not easy to find a toilet outdoors in ancient times, especially in this secluded place. Yun Zhizhi searched for a long time, and finally could only find a place without tiles and thatch to solve the problem.

When she came back, she found the place unusually lively, so she went closer to take a look out of curiosity.

"Hey! Why do these grandparents and grandchildren look so familiar?"

She remembered.

This is the grandparents and grandchildren who were the first to buy ice cream last time.

Yun Zhizhi asked with concern: "What happened to her?"

After hearing Yun Zhizhi's voice, Fang Rangrang opened her eyes instantly, broke free from Fang Zheng's embrace, and said to her with a smile, "Sister, long time no see! Do you still remember this little cutie of mine?"

Yun Zhizhi gently pinched her little face and smiled slightly: "Remember."

At this time, Fang Rangrang had forgotten that he was a poor kid pretending to be sick.

At this moment, Fang Zheng just wanted to dig a hole on the spot and bury himself.

This incompetent little granddaughter is such a bad teammate!

The lady serving the food finally realized that the girl was so lively and energetic, she didn't look like she hadn't eaten in two days. "Boss, these two were trying to pretend to be sick to get more lotus root meatballs."

Fang Rangrang admitted her mistake straightforwardly: "Sister, I was wrong. It's because the food you made was so delicious."

Fang Zheng's face flushed and he scratched his head: "It's my fault, but we learned it from that old monk."

After saying this, he specifically pointed to Master Xuanzhen who was not far away.

Master Xuanzhen never expected that he would be the one being blamed. He was suddenly called out, and he was completely bewildered. "Why did you bring me into this?"

"You wear witch-colored lipstick to deceive people and gain sympathy."

At this time, Yun Zhizhi also looked in the direction Fang Zheng pointed, and saw Master Xuanzhen standing there with a thick layer of witch-colored lipstick on his lips.

She couldn't help but gasp.

This old monk looks creepy after putting on witch-colored lipstick. Isn't he afraid of scaring the children?

Master Xuanzhen saw Yun Zhizhi's surprised expression and quickly explained, "Zhizhi, I just painted it for fun. The vegetarian food you made is really to my liking, so... you know!"

Yun Zhizhi looked at the three lively actors in front of her, her mouth twitching, not knowing what to say.

But she was still very curious about why they appeared in this place.

So, she asked, "Master Xuanzhen, why are you here in Yizhou?"

Master Xuanzhen grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "I said I came here to beg for alms. Do you believe me?"

Yun Zhizhi smiled but said nothing.

His disciple is the Sixth Prince, how could he be so poor that he has to beg for alms? She definitely doesn't believe it.

Forget it, let’s get down to business.

Seeing that the five dishes were about to be sold out, Yun Zhizhi knew it was time for her to take action.

She smiled and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Dear fellow villagers, did you enjoy the food tasting just now?"

As soon as the words fell, many people responded in unison: "It's not satisfying! The amount of food is really too small, not enough to taste at all."

Yun Zhizhi was secretly delighted to hear such positive feedback from everyone.

It’s okay if it’s not satisfying!

This is exactly the effect she wanted.

So, she struck while the iron was hot and continued, "If you still want to try lotus root-related dishes, you can buy some freshly dug lotus roots and make them yourself."

After she finished speaking, she snapped her fingers loudly.

He Yang, who was standing nearby, immediately understood what he meant. He raised his voice and shouted towards the lotus field not far away: "Hurry up and pick up the lotus roots we just dug!"

Just after a cup of tea, everyone saw a group of farmers carrying shoulder poles and walking towards this side with light steps.

Their faces are filled with simple smiles, which makes people feel friendly.

However, as they approached, a sudden cry of surprise erupted from the crowd.

I saw that what was carried on the shoulder pole were fresh and tender pink lotus roots.

Everyone started to discuss:

"Wow, lotus roots look so strange!"

"It turns out that lotus roots are dug out from lotus fields. This means that the fruits under the lotus leaves are edible. This is really an eye-opener."

.........

Yun Zhizhi continued to promote the dish, "Lotus root can be prepared in many different ways. It can be stir-fried, served cold, deep-fried, or stewed in soup. It has a wide variety of textures, ranging from crispy to soft and sticky. I believe this is everyone's first time tasting such a fresh and unique vegetable."

"Now it's not 50 wen a jin, not even 20 wen a jin, you can buy it for only 15 wen or 10 wen a jin."

At this time, Li Fan finally reacted.

It turns out that the food tasting event was just a gimmick.

It turns out that her real purpose was to sell the lotus roots, not the dish itself.

However, he was indeed attracted and could not help but say, "Miss, this lotus root tastes really good, but after we buy it back, the chef or family members in the mansion may not be able to cook it."

One of the uncles also echoed: "Yes! I am really interested in this lotus root, but I am worried that I won't be able to cook it when I buy it, and it will be wasted."

Although 15 wen per pound is not expensive, they are still reluctant to spend it.

After all, money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat!

After hearing this, Yun Zhizhi pointed to a piece of paper taped to a large wooden board nearby and said, "Don't worry, everyone, buy lotus roots and get a free recipe."

"These five sheets of paper contain detailed instructions for making various lotus root dishes. As long as everyone follows the recipes, anyone with some cooking skills will be able to make dishes that taste almost the same as what we just tried."

As soon as Yun Zhizhi finished speaking, the crowd exploded.

Everyone was surprised. Is there such a good thing?

Buy groceries and get a free recipe, plus free tastings.

It’s so off the mark!
