Hearing this, Li Fu was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the unintentional words he said during the conversation yesterday would be remembered by someone.

He was alone, and now that he was getting older, he felt even more lonely. He was deeply moved by such a caring gesture.

In fact, he could vaguely guess that Cheng Yuntao must have other purposes in getting to know him, but faced with such a sincere gesture, he could not refuse.

A gentleman judges by actions rather than by heart. No matter what the other person is thinking, at least this action is doing him good.

"Miss Cheng is so thoughtful. I really like your yam pancake."

"I just heard you mention that you just recently arrived in Junhua City. I guess you haven't found a suitable place to live yet, right?"

"I've been working as a real estate agent for over twenty years now. I'm very familiar with the residential and commercial properties in Junhua City. If you need anything, I can help you find a satisfactory house."

"We are tea buddies, and furthermore, friends. I admire Miss Cheng very much. Besides, I already have a family background, so I don't need the reward for one or two orders. So I will just do you a favor and help you for free."

Without waiting for the other party to mention this matter, Li Fu took the initiative to speak out.

Cheng Yuntao turned sideways and looked at Jiang Yu, and the same surprise flashed in their eyes.

"Uncle Li is really meticulous. We were still troubled by this matter yesterday."

"Junhua City is so big, and there are so many houses and courtyards inside. It's extremely difficult to find a suitable one among them. Now with Uncle Li's help, it has become a lot easier."

A smile blossomed from the corner of her mouth and spread across her cheeks. Her bright eyes curved into beautiful crescents because of the smile, just like the warm spring sun, which was very pleasing to look at.

Cheng Yuntao didn't expect that Li Fu would be willing to take the initiative to help. She thought she would need to spend more time and effort to prepare the way.

But this is a good thing. Since this is the case, she just goes with the flow and accepts this kindness.

"It takes quite a while to choose a house and see the courtyard. It's already past half the time today, so it's not too late."

"Why don't you tell me your budget and the conditions of the house you need? I'll go back tonight and sort out the contacts so I can take you to look at houses tomorrow."

Cheng Yuntao touched his chin, thought for a while, then turned his head and whispered a few words to Jiang Yu, and then roughly put forward his requirements.

"Uncle Li, it's like this. There are five of us in my family now, including myself. I hope the house can have more rooms for easier accommodation. It would be best if it also has a larger yard so that we can have a bright place for drying clothes and resting."

"The location can't be too remote. My family has both old and young people. The elderly have difficulty walking, and the children need to go to school. Naturally, we hope to be in a bustling city with convenient transportation."

"To buy firewood, rice, oil, and salt, you can walk to the shop in just a few steps; and children don't have to walk too long to go to school. It would be even better if there were a clinic or teahouse nearby. If you have a headache or a fever, you can quickly seek medical treatment, and in your spare time, you can go to the teahouse and listen to interesting stories."

"It's just that... I don't have a lot of cash on hand right now, so I just hope the rent is within my means, something that's both affordable and practical. I also know that houses like this are hard to find, so if I can't have them all, I can give some away when the time comes."

"Uncle Li is an expert in this field, with extensive connections and a keen eye. I'll have to rely heavily on you for this matter."

When talking about the cash on hand, Cheng Yuntao's tone lowered a little with a guilty conscience, and an embarrassed look appeared on her face.

"I've taken note of your requirements. Don't worry for now. I'll do my best to find a matching property."

"If I, Li Fuxun, can find a house that satisfies you, I'm afraid there won't be any other brokers in Junhua City who can do the job."

Li Fu has this confidence thanks to his years of experience, not to mention that it is a friend's entrustment, so he will naturally pay more attention to it.

"Meet in front of this teahouse at noon tomorrow morning. I'll take you to see the house."

After agreeing on a meeting time and drinking two cups of tea, Cheng Yuntao took Jiang Yu and left.

……

The next morning, Cheng Yuntao excitedly walked out of the inn carrying a hot Eight Treasures Cake. Jiang Yu yawned and quickened his pace, catching up with the beautiful figure in front in no time.

"If you are sleepy, just stay in the inn and rest." Cheng Yuntao looked at Jiang Yu who looked sleepy and kindly persuaded him.

Jiang Yu waved his hands, indicating that he was fine.

"No need. We agreed beforehand. You provide me with food and lodging, and I will protect your safety."

"Although it's broad daylight and Junhua City is bustling with activity, it's still a bit unsafe for a girl like you to go out on your own and wander through alleys looking for houses. It's better for me to accompany you."

"If I hadn't discovered a little thief last night and spent some time chasing him as he ran around, I wouldn't have been sleep deprived."

When Jiang Yu thought of the restless thief last night, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. Most of those petty thefts were committed late at night. If he wanted to make money, he could only go out and arrest people at that time.

Early this morning, as soon as the yamen opened, he dragged the person over and threw him over. Fortunately, it did not delay the day's business.

Seeing that Jiang Yu insisted on accompanying her, Cheng Yuntao couldn't refuse.

"Well, I hope everything goes well for us today, that we can find a suitable house quickly and come back to rest soon."

"By the way, did you have enough for breakfast? Would you like another piece of Eight Treasures Cake?"

Jiang Yuke became more energetic when he had something to eat. He nodded rapidly and reached out to ask for some cakes.

"Yes! I have a big appetite!"

Cheng Yuntao had anticipated that he had a big appetite, so she had prepared a separate portion. She took it out from her bosom and stuffed it into Jiang Yu's hand.

This Eight Treasures Cake is made with eight ingredients: Codonopsis pilosula, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Coix seed, Euryale ferox, lentils, lotus seeds, and yam. In addition, glutinous rice flour, honey, etc. are added to adjust the taste, so that the cake can retain the characteristics of the medicinal ingredients and be delicious.

"Here, take it and eat it on the way. If you can't finish it, you can rewrap it and make snacks when you're hungry."

"Hehe, okay!" Jiang Yu took it happily, opened the oil paper package, picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth. Over the past few days, the frequency of his eating pastries has greatly increased.

The Eight Treasures Cake has a soft and glutinous texture that melts in your mouth. When you chew it carefully, the fragrance of the medicinal herbs slowly spreads on the tip of your tongue, but it is not disgusting.

From the perspective of health-preserving effects, it is truly unique. Long-term consumption can effectively strengthen the spleen and stomach, help the body recover its vitality, relieve physical fatigue and weakness, and enhance energy and spirit.

He just ate too much, and without tea to go with it, he choked a little. Jiang Yu was not too greedy, so after eating two pieces, he put the food in his arms.
