Chapter 164 The Village Lord is Angry
Chapter 164 The Village Lord is Angry
The next day, Li Shuchen was busy serving dishes to the guests at the inn.
"Here it comes! Persimmon milk tea for stomach health and apple milk tea for fatigue relief!"
Li Shuchen served milk tea to the two men and had just turned to leave when she heard them start muttering to each other.
"Hey, have you heard? Gu Xiangjun was really angry at Xiangchi Tower today!"
"Oh dear, everyone knows about this. It's all over the streets. I wonder who was so bold as to anger Lord Gu."
"Hey, I heard that Gu Xiangjun got angry because the business deal fell through."
"The deal fell through?"
"Indeed, but Gu Xiangjun often discusses business with that young lady, and they're usually very amicable. I don't know why he got so angry this time; he even smashed the wine pot, spilling plum wine all over the floor. What a pity!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
The wine jug was smashed? Ziying acted so well!
"Oh, oh, stop talking. Miss Li is a good friend of Gu Xiangjun."
Just then, a person rushed in through the door and immediately began to complain.
"Shu Chen, I'm so angry today."
Gu Ziying looked angry, even the hair ornament in her hair seemed to be shaking angrily.
Li Shuchen had to play along, and her brows furrowed with concern. She quickly tried to comfort him.
"No rush, no rush, let's go upstairs and talk."
Then the two hurried upstairs.
The man who was drinking persimmon milk tea, which was supposed to soothe his stomach, started whispering again.
"Look, Gu Xiangjun is here. He must be here to complain to Miss Li."
"Yes, everyone knows they're best friends."
After a while
"boom"
A loud bang came from upstairs.
The man drinking the apple-flavored milk tea was taken aback.
"Oh dear, Gu Xiangjun is throwing things again. I think this bowl of soothing milk tea should be given to him."
"That's right! Look, the waiter has brought up the milk tea."
"It looks like my apple-flavored soothing milk tea."
"She should have some smoothing, smoothing."
The waiter they were referring to was Yu'er.
"Miss, your milk tea is here."
"Enter"
Xi'er entered the door, put down the milk tea, and turned to leave.
Li Shuchen chuckled and took a sip of her apple-flavored milk tea, whispering...
"Ziying, how come your acting is so good? When did you learn it? Hehehe, I think your acting is almost as good as mine."
Gu Ziying reached out and tapped Li Shuchen's head with her finger.
"I learned it from Shu Chen, but I've been a bit irritable these past few days, and venting like this has actually made me feel much better."
Li Shuchen asked
"But your period has started? Quickly drink some red date warming milk tea; it's good for your uterus and will make you feel warm."
Gu Ziying nodded
"You did have your period, but where is the uterus?"
"Oh, so that's where babies are born."
Gu Ziying blushed upon hearing this.
"Shu Chen knows a lot."
Li Shuchen proudly raised his head and replied.
"That's because I read a lot. Whenever you're not around, I read whenever I have a spare moment. I've already read a whole stack of books."
When Li Shuchen started lying, he didn't blush or skip a beat; he spoke nonsense with a straight face.
"I know how to make better menstrual belts, but I don't know where the cotton is; I've never seen it before."
"Cotton is available, but the yield is extremely low. Shu Chen grows melons and fruits so well, why don't you buy some cotton seeds and plant some yourself?"
Li Shuchen said happily
"Sure, where can I buy it?"
"I'll buy it for you in a couple of days."
"Okay, when I grow cotton, I'll get us all comfortable and soft menstrual belts."
"Then I'll be waiting for good news from Shu Chen."
"Uh-huh"
Li Shuchen took another sip of milk tea.
"We've made quite a commotion; someone over there has definitely noticed. They'll have people secretly watching you. Don't be afraid; I've had Lao Jiu also secretly protecting you. Just be careful."
Two days later, have the people from Zelan invite you out again. This time, make an even bigger scene and be even angrier.
Gu Ziying nodded
"understood"
On the other side of Weijing
"Your Majesty, Lord Gu went to discuss business today and was extremely angry."
"Oh? Angry? Interesting."
"Yes, Lady Gu has always been a dignified and elegant lady from a prominent family. She never gets angry with anyone, let alone with her business partners. I find this rather suspicious."
"Okay, keep an eye on things, keep a close watch, don't let her find out. Tell me immediately if anything happens. And that Li Shuchen, let's see what tricks they're up to."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
Li Shuchen hasn't been idle these past two days. He's gathered a lot of sweet potato, white potato, and purple potato seeds and planted them all in the ground. Every available plot of land has been filled with Li Shuchen's plantings.
Li Shuchen was so tired that his back ached and he didn't even want to talk.
Lying motionless in bed, my mind was racing with intense thoughts.
When winter comes and it snows, her sweet potatoes should be ripe.
Then we can enjoy roasted sweet potatoes, fried sweet potato balls, and sweet potato strips—all sweet, fragrant, and soft.
Purple sweet potatoes can be steamed, made into small balls and added to milk tea, or made into purple sweet potato pancakes – all delicious dishes.
Sweet potatoes are a bit dry; one bite and your neck feels like it's stretched for miles. They can be made into sweet potato pancakes or sweet potato porridge—a real hunger killer!
Then, use sweet potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, and white sweet potatoes together to make rose-shaped rolls, which are both beautiful and delicious.
Wow, that's really good.
Li Shuchen felt happier and happier the more she thought about it, her smile even wider than an AK.
"boom"
The door to the Sanbao Hall was suddenly opened.
Li Shuchen rolled out of bed and saw Ziying walking towards him aggressively. He quickly said softly...
"Ziying, you're here."
Gu Ziying ignored Li Shuchen.
He stretched both hands under the eight-immortal table and exerted a great effort.
"boom"
The octagonal table fell to the ground, sprawled out on its back.
It shocked Li Shuchen's soul, which longed for delicious food.
Li Shuchen snapped out of her daze, quickly ran over to close the door, then righted the octagonal table and wiped it clean.
He pulled Gu Ziying down to sit, then leaned close and whispered, "..."
"Did you also overturn the table when you were negotiating with the people from Zhelan at Xiangchi Tower?"
Gu Ziying felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this and replied softly.
"Did I go too far?"
Li Shuchen immediately shook his head.
"Not at all, not at all, your acting was superb, absolutely brilliant! The way you flipped the table just now was so powerful!"
If anyone bullies you or you feel wronged in the future, just flip the table and leave. Don't care what others say. Never suffer injustice, no matter what.
Gu Ziying obediently agreed
"it is good"
Li Shuchen was happy and itched to cook.
"Ziying, what you made is absolutely amazing! Do you want some fried chicken? I'll make it for you."
"fried chicken?"
"Yes, it's fragrant and crispy, soft and tender, and the tender chicken bursts with juice when you bite into it."
"think"
Li Shuchen agreed with a grin.
"Okay, you rest here for now, I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
Li Shuchen stepped out of the Sanbao Hall and walked into the kitchen with a serious expression. His imposing aura was so strong that no one dared to speak.
He went into the kitchen and started chopping chicken, the sound of "bang bang bang bang" echoing loudly, showing incredible strength.
It looks like they're going to chop someone up.
Li Shuchen coated the chopped chicken wings with flour, then with egg wash, then with flour again, and then deep-fried them.
As it blew, it revealed an evil smile that would make even ghosts tremble.
