Chapter 70: Tianshi Sect’s Street Performance
"Si Yu, you have been eating delicious food behind our backs all the time." Lord Gu teased.
Gu Qingyun was not at a disadvantage at all, "This restaurant is close to our Dali Temple. We call it the Dali Temple Canteen. It's grandma and grandpa who have been eating here without your knowledge."
The eldest princess was close to Gu Qingyun, and she stretched out her hand and flicked him twice, "You just talk nonsense."
The family was having a great time. Gu Qingpei asked again, "What is this milk tea?"
The old marquis began to introduce, "This is the new shop opened by Miss An. There are all kinds of milk tea in it. You can drink it here or take it home. Today I bought a few cups of milk tea. It's delicious. It's made of tea and milk. It's very healthy."
GuQingPei raised his eyebrows, "Grandma drinks too?"
"Your grandmother likes to drink it too. Just add more tea and less milk." In fact, the old marquis did not expect that his wife, who had disliked milk for so many years, actually accepted milk again because of milk tea.
But anyway, this is good news. The imperial physician in the palace once said that giving her some milk can nourish her body.
But she just couldn't drink it. Now she can drink fresh milk, which is a good progress.
Several people were amazed because their grandmother started drinking milk. Lord Gu and Madam Gu even picked up a cup each. Is it really that magical?
But when the milk tea enters your mouth, you will feel that it is indeed magical.
This tastes really good.
The family happily ate and drank until late at night. Gu Qingpei quietly asked Gu Qingyun, "How do I buy this restaurant? Will it scare them if I come in person? How do I order food?"
Gu Qingyun felt his eyes twitch. "Just go there directly. It's very simple. Besides, Princess Mingyue has been there last time, so there is no shortage of you, the prince of the Marquisate. If you really feel embarrassed, just send your servant there. Tell the servants inside about your usual taste, and they will know."
Gu Qing Pei nodded in confusion and asked, "Is there anything delicious in there?"
"I like spicy food, but you don't. There are a lot of delicious food in there. You should try it yourself." After saying this, Gu Qingyun was about to leave, but was stopped by Gu Qingpei again.
Gu Qing Pei looked around and saw that his parents and grandparents had returned to their own courtyards. Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Does Mr. Luochuan have any follow-up?"
"No more." Gu Qingyun didn't distrust his elder brother, but this matter was of great importance and it was difficult to say anything without solid evidence.
“You better be careful, this matter may involve a lot of people, and many people have been asking me about it openly or secretly. Since you have closed the case at Luochuan Gongzi’s place, you should say so when you go out in the future. If nothing goes wrong in the short term, I guess they won’t keep an eye on you anymore.” Gu Qingpei explained.
Gu Qingyun nodded, "I know, brother."
"Then go and rest early." After saying this, Gu Qing Pei also returned to his own yard.
Gu Qingyun sighed deeply. How easy it would be if this matter was over.
……
The next morning, just after daybreak, many people lined up at the door of the grocery store.
"Hey, do you still have this Mid-Autumn Festival gift box? We tried it last night and it was really delicious. The taste was really good. I want to take some with me as a gift today." asked a customer.
Another person looked at the closed door and said anxiously, "I didn't know it was so delicious when I bought it yesterday. Today my son is clamoring for more, and I'm having a headache. I thought that no matter how delicious the mooncakes are, they are all filled with the same stuffing. Who would have thought that Miss An would be so good at making them, each one more delicious than the last. Now my son is clamoring for more, and I really have no choice but to come back early in the morning to try my luck."
"I don't know if I can buy it today. If not, I can only buy some other gift boxes to give away. It would be so face-saving if I can buy it." Another customer also said.
Yu Dong was really shocked when he opened the door. Why were there so many people?
"Dear guests, you have arrived very early these days."
"Shopkeeper, do you have any Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes left? We would like to buy some."
"That's right. I didn't buy enough yesterday. It's really not enough for gifts."
"Young shopkeeper, do you have any more? Take them all out. We'll buy them all."
Yu Dong shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Dear guests, the Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes have been sold out. We will not make them again. You may have to wait until the next Mid-Autumn Festival to buy them. However, we have a lot of snacks and fruits in our store, which can be bought at Kyoto Milk Tea Shop. If you want to eat them, you can also go there. Snow skin mooncakes, fruit with egg yolk fillings, and five-nut ones are all sold there."
The customer was still unwilling to give in and wanted to ask more questions.
But when he saw that there was indeed no gift box inside, he stopped talking. It was because the gift boxes were so popular and he bought so few yesterday, so he couldn't blame others.
The crowd slowly dispersed, and Yu Dong started a new day of business.
However, the customer whose son was clamoring for food had not left yet. "Young shopkeeper, can I ask where the milk tea shop is? My son is clamoring for fruit and I have no choice."
"It's a milk tea shop. Customers, just go directly to the Hu Ming Stage in the city. The milk tea shop is diagonally opposite the stage." Yu Dong thought for a moment and replied.
The guest nodded gratefully and turned away.
An Qiao is going to the farm today. The Tong couple said last time that they were going to buy some seeds, so An Qiao went to the city first.
As soon as he got off the carriage and walked into the store, he heard a loud noise outside, which instantly attracted everyone around to come and see what was going on.
An Qiao was also curious, so she put down the seeds in her hand and walked out.
I saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting on the ground, humming a little tune, "I don't want a ton of gold, I just want the joy of life. I hate that your ton of gold is not as good as a magic hand that can bring you back to health and a life of peace..."
He hummed a tune while lighting the charcoal fire on one side.
Soon, a magical scene appeared. In the bonfire, it seemed that pavilions, towers, and people coming and going were vivid.
An Qiao was stunned for a moment. In fact, he had seen many magic tricks in modern times, such as turning paper into a white dove and taking water from an empty bowl.
And every time she felt that these magic tricks were really amazing, although she didn't understand how this scene was done for a while. But she also knew that it was just a magic trick, probably something like a mirage.
But the ancient people around had never seen it, and they were all amazed and surprised.
The old man looked at everyone's expressions and was very satisfied. "Everyone, this is the skill passed down to me by the old Tianshi of the Tianshi Sect. If you are interested, you only need to pay a membership fee to learn it. The old Tianshi of our sect can make bones flesh and revive the dead. What cures all diseases are the basics."
