Looking at the gold bars in Shen Xin's hand, Tong Xiangyu's eyes lit up.
Without saying a word, she snatched the gold bar from Shen Xin's hand, then she realized what was happening and said a little embarrassedly: "That...that..."
"Zhan Tang, why don't you take Master Shen upstairs?"
Tong Xiangyu didn't know what to say. She was grateful to Shen Xin for helping her out, but she was also embarrassed about pretending to faint.
Just skip this and let Bai Zhantang take Shen Xin upstairs.
"No need, prepare some hot water first and make a few side dishes. My wife and I will go back upstairs after we finish dinner." Shen Xin shook his head and said.
"Okay." Tong Xiangyu nodded and said in her unique accent: "Big Mouth~"
"I'm here," Li Dazui came forward quickly. Facing a famous figure like Shen Xin, he was very excited and introduced himself hurriedly: "Mr. Shen, my name is Li Dazui, and I'm the cook of Tongfu Inn."
"Don't look at me in Tongfu Inn, but actually, my cooking skills are this..."
Li Dazui said this and gave himself a thumbs up.
"You've heard of the Yellow Crane Tower, right?"
"Brother Li, have you worked in Yellow Crane Tower?" Shen Xin asked cooperatively, holding back his laughter.
"Of course, just wait and see!" Li Dazui said with a proud look on his face. Then he turned and went into the kitchen and started to get busy.
Tong Xiangyu and others did not expose him, and Ji Yaohua was even a little looking forward to it.
This small Tongfu Inn seems to be full of hidden talents!
Bai Zhantang, a martial arts expert, and a chef at the Yellow Crane Tower.
When Shen Xin first came here, Ji Yaohua was a little surprised, but now it seems that every step her husband takes is quite meaningful!
She looked at Tong Xiangyu, Lu Xiucai and Mo Xiaobei curiously.
What are these three people hiding?
"Why are you looking at me?" Mo Xiaobei noticed Ji Yaohua's gaze and felt a little puzzled.
"What's your name, little girl?"
"Why should I answer you?" Mo Xiaobei's eyes rolled around, full of cunning.
"If you tell me, I'll give you 643 taels of silver. You can buy a lot of food with it." Ji Yaohua saw through her little thoughts and directly took out tael of silver.
"My name is Mo Xiaobei." Mo Xiaobei replied with a smile.
"His surname is Mo. Could he be related to Mr. Mo from Hengshan?" Ji Yaohua thought secretly as she handed the silver to Mo Xiaobei.
However, she quickly dismissed this idea. There was no such a coincidence in the world.
It was only because she had just come from Hengyang that she thought of Mr. Mo Da.
Shaking her head, Ji Yaohua turned her gaze to Lu Xiucai again.
Seeing this, Lu Xiucai quickly sat up straight and said, "Confucius said: Learn and practice it from time to time..."
"What is the name of this sister?" Ji Yaohua ignored Lu Xiucai and asked Tong Xiangyu.
Tong Xiangyu was a little amused and introduced herself: "My last name is Tong, and my maiden name is Xiangyu. You can call me Tong the Shopkeeper or Xiangyu."
"Sister Xiangyu."
"Hey," Tong Xiangyu responded, and then asked Ji Yaohua: "What's your sister's name?"
"Ji Yaohua."
"The surname Ji is a very rare surname. In ancient times, Emperor Huangdi had the surname Ji." Lu Xiucai jumped out and tried to make his presence felt.
"My brother is really knowledgeable, but I have nothing to do with Huangdi." Ji Yaohua shook her head. Her name Ji has nothing to do with Huangdi, it was just a random name.
"Haven't you asked me yet?"
Chapter 243: Male and Female Demons, Xiaoqing
"I am Lü Qinghou, a man with two mouths. I have spent gold and white walls to buy songs and laughter. I am the grandson of the former prefect. I knew a thousand words at the age of three, recited Tang poems at the age of five, read the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of seven, and was proficient in poetry and songs at the age of eight..."
It was finally his turn, and Lu Xiucai began to show off.
Regarding his own name and his life profile, Lu Xiucai talked about his glorious first half of life.
As for his current poverty, Lu Xiucai did not mention a word about it.
In front of outsiders, Tong Xiangyu did not expose him, but Mo Xiaobei frowned as he listened.
"I've taken exams for so many years, but I'm still not a scholar. Now I'm settling accounts with my sister-in-law." Mo Xiaobei complained.
Lu Xiucai stood there in embarrassment.
"Children's words should not be restrained. The scholar is just feeling lonely now. With his talent and knowledge, he will be able to become the top scorer in the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official sooner or later." Upon seeing this, Tong Xiangyu smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"I also think that Brother Lu is a man of few talents. His temporary difficulties are nothing." Shen Xin also laughed.
Lu Xiucai nodded: "When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart suffer, his muscles and bones tired, and his body hungry..."
Tong Xiangyu turned around and looked at Lu Xiucai in surprise.
Scholar, I just said that casually, you wouldn’t really believe it, right?
Obviously, Lu Xiucai took it seriously and did not stop until he finished reciting the article "Born in Sorrow, Die in Comfort".
Tong Xiangyu was a little embarrassed and looked at Shen Xin with a forced smile. Then, she decisively sent Lu Xiucai to the backyard to see how Li Dazui's dishes were and how Bai Zhantang was boiling water.
"By the way, would you two like some water first?"
"Okay." Shen Xin nodded.
Upon hearing this, Tong Xiangyu stood up and poured some water for Shen Xin and Ji Yaohua.
At this time, Mo Xiaobei sat in front of Shen Xin and Ji Yaohua. She propped her chin with both hands, looked at the two curiously, and then asked, "Are you from Hengyang City?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Shen Xin asked.
"Have you seen my great grandfather?"
"What great-grandfather?" Ji Yaohua had a subtle expression.
"Mr. Mo Da, the leader of the Hengshan Sect, is my great-grandfather. If my brother hadn't died, my great-grandfather would have passed the position of leader to him long ago." Mo Xiaobei said.
Ji Yaohua was speechless. She just thought that it couldn't be such a coincidence.
But things in the world are often so unexpected.
Mo Xiaobei is really related to Mr. Mo Da!
"No, Mr. Mo Da did not attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony." Shen Xin shook his head and replied.
Mo Xiaobei said "oh" and was obviously disappointed that she didn't hear any news from her relatives.
Seeing this, Tong Xiangyu reached out and rubbed Mo Xiaobei's head to comfort him.
Ji Yaohua looked at Mo Xiaobei and felt quite curious. Although she was not his biological daughter, she was the granddaughter of Mr. Mo Da, the head of Hengshan Sect, she shouldn't have ended up here.
However, although she was curious, Ji Yaohua did not ask rashly.
Several people sat at the long table in Tongfu Inn and chatted. Not long after, Li Dazui came over with a tray of food.
Lu Xiucai also came out with Dazui, but Bai Zhantang was still hiding in the backyard.
He was a little afraid of Shen Xin. Of course, it was not to the point that he was afraid to see Shen Xin. The main reason was that he was afraid that his identity would be exposed.
A stack of steamed buns, one meat dish, two vegetable dishes and a pickled vegetable were the meals that Li Dazui prepared for Shen Xin and Ji Yaohua.
There was some doubt in Ji Yaohua's eyes. Is this the level of the chef of Yellow Crane Tower?
It looks no different from ordinary home-cooked dishes!
Li Dazui sensed the doubt in Ji Yaohua's eyes and said defensively, "There is not much left in the evening. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. You just have to make do with what you have!"
"That's right." Ji Yaohua nodded without any doubt.
It was not until she actually started eating that she was sure that the Yellow Crane Tower chef was fake.
The food cooked by Li Dazui was not bad, and was even better than the average home-cooked meals. However, due to her high expectations, Ji Yaohua was inevitably a little disappointed.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Li Dazui seemed to have talked too much and even believed that he was the chef of Yellow Crane Tower. Seeing Ji Yaohua picking up her chopsticks, he asked hurriedly.
"It's okay." Ji Yaohua gave a vague evaluation out of politeness.
Seeing this, Li Dazui turned his gaze to Shen Xin.
Shen Xin also picked up his chopsticks and gave a good comment.
"Is this just okay or not bad?" Li Dazui was a little dissatisfied.
"I usually eat delicacies from land and sea. Even if you are the chef of Yellow Crane Tower, it is very good to get such evaluation for the food made with this kind of ingredients." Shen Xin replied.
"What Yellow Crane Tower chef? He's just the one who washes dishes in Yellow Crane Tower." Tong Xiangyu exposed Li Dazui without mercy.
Normally he would just pretend and everyone would just laugh it off, but he kept pretending in front of others, and it seemed to be getting worse. Of course Tong Xiangyu had to stop him.
Otherwise he would become too arrogant and offend others!
Even though his secrets were exposed, Li Dazui still insisted that although he was just a dishwasher, he had watched for so long that he could already learn how to cook from the chef of Yellow Crane Tower.
There is nothing wrong with him saying that he is the chef of Yellow Crane Tower.
However, after talking tough for a while, Li Dazui returned to the backyard in shame.
When Li Dazui left the monthly fee store, there was a sudden noise from the roof.
Shen Xin heard it clearly. It was the sound of tiles breaking and falling to the ground, followed by the sound of a cat meowing.
".,Meow……"
Along with the cat's meow, there was also the "crackling" sound of someone stepping on the tiles.
Shen Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Friends upstairs, come down and have a chat. Your Qinggong skills are not yet perfect. The noise is too obvious. What kind of cat can make tiles creak when stepping on them?"
"Oh no, miss, we've been discovered."
On the rooftop of Tongfu Inn, Xiaoqing, who was wearing a nightgown, said to Guo Furong who was beside her.
