This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.
Chapter 73: Tried Twice
"Hey kid, what's your name? You look kind of familiar." He Yunzhou leaned closer to examine He Wuyou closely.
Looking at it this way, it looks more like someone's childhood. How could there be such similar people in the world? If it weren't for their huge age difference, He Yunzhou would have thought they were the same person.
He Wuyou wasn't buying it at all. She shifted her body to the side and said, "Uncle, this is our first meeting. We're not familiar with each other!"
“Mmm!” He Wuyang, who had her hair tied in two little buns, nodded in agreement. “Besides, this way of striking up a conversation is so old-fashioned.”
Before they left, my sister-in-law told them not to talk to strangers, especially those who pretend to be familiar with them right away.
He Yunzhou touched the tip of his nose and decided to let it go; he wouldn't stoop to the level of a child.
A short while later, Old Wang brought over two bowls of steaming hot wontons.
He Yunzhou had long been hungry and first picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
One bite of thinly sliced smoked meat and your mouth is filled with its juicy flavor. Paired with crisp and tender spring bamboo shoots, the two flavors blend together perfectly—it's simply indescribably delicious!
Finally, take a sip of the light wonton soup; it warms the stomach and cuts through the greasiness.
He sighed, "Truly a delicacy!" His gaze fell upon the servant boy who was enjoying his meal nearby, and he said:
"Tonglu, is this wonton delicious?"
"Mmm!" The servant boy named Tonglu didn't even look up, offering a perfunctory reply.
"Does this meat smell good?"
"Hmm!" Tonglu's reaction had already given him the answer.
"Then this meal will be deducted from your wages. I'll write it down and we'll settle it at the end of the month."
"Hmm?" Tonglu finally raised his head, and suddenly the meat in his hand didn't taste so good anymore.
Is there anyone stingier than their young master?
Seeing the interaction between the two, He Wuyang muttered under his breath, "Stingy!"
The sound wasn't loud, but He Yunzhou happened to hear it.
He looked at the beautiful little girl, his eyes full of smiles. He didn't bother with pretty children.
He pushed the meat on the plate in front of him and placed it in front of He Wuyang.
"Little girl, brother is treating you to meat, it smells delicious."
He Wuyang stared blankly at the glistening smoked meat in the bowl, saying nothing.
He Yunzhou thought she was shy and embarrassed to eat, so he coaxed her gently, "Brother is not lying to you, it's really delicious. You've definitely never eaten anything so delicious before."
The two children's clothes clearly indicated that they came from poor families; their clothes were simple in style and made of rough, dull fabric.
People like this probably don't eat meat all year round.
Thinking of this, a pity flashed through He Yunzhou's heart.
What a poor kid.
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he pushed the bowl a little further.
He Wuyang smiled slyly, his eyes narrowing into slits, his expression full of pride: "Uncle, the meat you're eating is made by my family."
He Yunzhou was stunned for a moment, his expression blank.
He had never encountered such an embarrassing situation before; he had stumbled twice today because of the two kids!
It's simply...a disgrace!
Thinking of this, he turned his grief and anger into appetite, and ate the rest of the dishes with great relish.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Ye Xiaoxiao said, "Everyone, this is our own smoked wild boar meat. We let you all try it for free just now, and I believe you all liked it."
Everyone was talking about it.
“Really good!”
"I think it tastes even better than Yipinju."
"Yes, yes, yes, it leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth after eating it."
"Miss, do you still have any smoked meat? Would you consider selling us some?"
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled, she had been waiting for them to say those words.
“My husband hunted a big wild boar a while ago, and we still have about 100 catties left at home. It costs 50 coins per catty.”
When everyone heard Ye Xiaoxiao say that she still had some stock at home, their faces lit up with joy. But when they heard her say that it was fifty coins a catty, that joy vanished.
"Girl, this price is too expensive!"
"That's right, that's right. I can buy a pound of meat for fifteen coins at the butcher shop."
"Yes, who can afford fifty coins?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was not discouraged when she saw that everyone said the price was high, and she still had a smile on her face.
She knew that price could help her filter customers.
He Yunzhou looked at Ye Xiaoxiao standing in the crowd, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. Even if this girl went to the capital, she would still outshine all the beauties.
He spoke.
"Girl, how much smoked meat do you have? I'll take it all!"
Gasps of breath rose and fell from the wonton shop.
"Who is this guy? He's making such a big splash right away!"
