The speaker was an older man, wearing a gray robe, but his face was very fair, with a tuft of beard under his chin, and a black turban on his head, which made him look even more smart and capable.

Chen Bing looked back and saw that it was Shopkeeper Wu from Wujia Foot Shop. He hurriedly said, "Hello Shopkeeper Wu, is Shopkeeper Wu also coming to Hongqiaozi Lane to catch the night market?"

Shopkeeper Wu smiled and said: "How can I have time to come to this busy night market? My Wu's foot shop is located in the north of the city, so naturally I am here. Although this night market is lively, it also robs me.

A lot of business. Haha, Er Niang has been delivering fish for a while, so I’m afraid she’s forgotten about my shop.”

Chen Bing patted his head and said: "Shopkeeper Wu was joking. I was so crowded in the alley that I couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. Haha, I didn't even know I was squeezed out of the alley. It turns out

They have all arrived in the north of the city."

Shopkeeper Wu put one hand behind his back and glanced behind Chen Bing a few times, but he could not see the figure of Li Yunniang, whom he had been thinking about so much. His disappointment was palpable and he asked: "Second mother, the city gates are closed, what are you doing?"

Are you going back to Huahu Village? Could it be that your father and Dalang came to the city with you? I'm so sorry I didn't see them. If they come to the city too, you can go to my shop first and eat some glutinous rice noodles.

Just satisfy your hunger and wait for your father and elder brother."

After saying that, he looked around again. It didn't matter if he didn't look, but he was surprised when he saw Liu Zhiyuan standing next to Chen Bing. He was startled. Before Chen Bing could answer, he quickly raised his hands and saluted, saying: "Ouch

"I'm really blind. When did Liu Dong's family come? It's a sin. Come on, Liu Dong's family, please come into the store and drink a few cups of tea." Shopkeeper Wu made a gesture of invitation and put his hands on his hands.

Behind him, this action seemed very rude to Liu Zhiyuan.

Chen Bing knew that she couldn't answer all these words of shopkeeper Wu. She couldn't say that she was looking for clues about the girl's abduction in the city. Thinking of this, she turned and looked at Liu Zhiyuan, hoping that he could rescue her, and

Liu Zhiyuan understood, lowered his head and whispered a few words softly in Chen Bing's ear. Shopkeeper Wu was even more surprised when he saw it, wondering when this Liu Dongjia had hooked up with the second mother of the Chen family, but he was secretly lucky in his heart.

Liu Zhiyuan folded his hands in front of his chest, and without even looking at Shopkeeper Wu, he said coldly to him: "My Dexian Building is not far from here. When my second mother is thirsty, she will naturally go back to Dexian Building with me. She is not here."

You are drinking tea in the shop. By the way, Shopkeeper Wu, these days, you have been guarding the shop day and night?"

Shopkeeper Wu looked at Liu Zhiyuan in confusion. When he saw Liu Zhiyuan looking directly behind him without even looking at him, he felt angry, but it was not easy to get angry. He snorted slightly, his face changed slightly, and he replied coldly: "Liu Dongjia

I don’t know. Although my Wujiajiao shop ranks third in Changxing County, it is far inferior to Deyi Building and Dexian Building. Not to mention the scale, the number of diners coming in and out every day is unfathomable.

Compared to this. Therefore, this Wujia foot shop is all my belongings, and I assume that I have room and board in it."

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Shopkeeper Wu, do you still remember that on the sixteenth day of last month, at that time, a man and a woman came to your shop to eat glutinous rice noodles? Both of them spoke with Huating accents, and the middle finger of the man's left hand was missing.

Shopkeeper Wu, think about it carefully, have you ever seen it before?"

Shopkeeper Wu was stunned for a moment, not expecting Liu Zhiyuan to ask these questions. He twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Liu Dongjia is joking. Although my foot shop is not as good as your Dexian Building, you can go in and out of the shop every day."

There are also a lot of people. This Changxing County is not that far from Huating. It is normal to have a Huating accent. How can I remember so many people? Please don’t be surprised by Liu Dongjia." Shopkeeper Wu said and handed over his hands.

present.

Liu Zhiyuan nodded slightly, and shopkeeper Wu kept Li Yunniang in mind and hurriedly said to Chen Bing: "Er Niang, although my shop is small, Chef He in the shop is quite skilled. He recently came up with a dish.

I tried it and it tasted really delicious, but there was a problem. This dish requires a lot of shiitake mushrooms. As you know, shiitake mushrooms can enhance freshness and are also cheap, so they are generally used in restaurants to freshen them up.

Most of them are shiitake mushrooms. And the shiitake mushrooms in Changxing County are almost monopolized by Deyilou and Dexianlou. I want to get some, but it is really difficult. Erniang, after you return to Huahu Village, can you

Please intercede with Mrs. Li Jiayun and ask her to give me some shiitake mushrooms. The price is easy to say. I will only get a lot more than what Deyilou and Dexianlou give her!"

Chen Bing sneered in his heart, thinking about how you, a drunkard, didn't care about drinking, that day when you were with Yun Niang.

The way you looked at her when you got up was wrong. Can't I guess what you are planning now? Chen Bing would never agree to any request from Shopkeeper Wu on behalf of Yun Niang. He pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Shopkeeper Wu, this

After all, I can’t promise you anything for Yun Niang. After all, Yun Niang’s mother picked and roasted these mushrooms herself. She still needs to nod her head. Yun Niang can’t decide anything. But I will take your word for it.

Please let Yun Niang know, so you can rest assured."

"Then you have to work hard for me. I will thank you deeply when the job is done." Shopkeeper Wu was so happy that he unconsciously stretched out his hands to hold Chen Bing. At this moment, Liu Zhiyuan gave him a gentle push.

, and flicked away Shopkeeper Wu's outstretched arms. Although he didn't use any internal force in this push, the shock made Shopkeeper Wu's arms numb slightly. Before Chen Bing could reply to Shopkeeper Wu, he pulled her

Said: "Shopkeeper Wu, the two of us will go back to Dexian Building first." After Liu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he waved in the direction where Liu San's carriage was parked. Liu San was quite smart. Ever since Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Bing left the alley

After that, he kept staring here, for fear of missing any gesture from Liu Zhiyuan. After Liu San got the order, he drove the carriage in front of Liu Zhiyuan.

Chen Bing bowed slightly to Shopkeeper Wu and got on the carriage. Liu Zhiyuan had just jumped on the carriage when he suddenly turned around and asked Shopkeeper Wu: "Shopkeeper Wu, is there anyone else selling glutinous rice flour in Changxing County?"

The glutinous rice flour is not a unique snack in Changxing, so there are only a few people in the city who know how to make it. Shopkeeper Wu is highly sought after by the people in the city because of the extremely authentic and delicious taste of his glutinous rice flour. He doesn’t know what the reason for Liu Zhiyuan’s sudden question is.

He Daoli, then replied: "My family sells the best glutinous rice flour in this county. As for who else is selling it, I don't know. Maybe it is too complicated to make. As far as I know,

It seems that my family is the only one in the city who can make it. But after all, it is just a snack, and it cannot be said to be very special. If the Liu Dong family wants to show off, I will send two copies of the glutinous rice flour to the Liu Dong family's house."

Shopkeeper Wu's words were just polite, but he never thought that Liu Zhiyuan would take them seriously. He handed over his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu. Please send someone to deliver it as soon as possible. I'm really hungry. I really want it."

Try the signature delicacy of Wujia Foot Shop."

Shopkeeper Wu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and agreed. After watching Liu Zhiyuan's carriage leave with a smile, he turned around, but the smile was no longer on his face. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was breathing heavily.

With that tone, he entered the foot shop and asked Chef He to prepare two portions of glutinous rice noodles and put them in a food box and sent a boy to deliver them to Liu's house. At this time, a person came in outside the door. Shopkeeper Wu nodded slightly to him, and the two

One after another, they entered the small pavilion of the foot shop.

After Liu Zhiyuan's carriage passed a corner, it stopped in front of a house. Liu Lu was waiting anxiously outside the door with a lantern. He had been waiting in front of the house since You hour. When he saw the carriage coming back, his expression was original.

With his anxious brows furrowed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became relaxed and cheerful. Today, he specially put a flower in his hair, applied some gouache on his face, wore a pink vest on his upper body, but his lower body was

Wearing a green skirt, it was extremely nondescript and full of charm. This was also the first time he had dressed himself up. He hoped that his second husband would notice Liu Lu, who was becoming more and more charming with each passing day.

Liu Zhiyuan got out of the car first, and Liu Lu hurriedly came to him with a lantern. He was very nervous. He raised his left hand to comb his specially combed hair, pinched his throat and said softly: "Er Langjun, you

I finally came back, I have sent people to prepare meals, and I also invited Mr. Erlang..." Before Liu Lu finished speaking, Liu Zhiyuan snatched the lantern from his hand and placed it in front of the carriage himself, while Chen

Bing followed closely and got off the carriage. Seeing Liu Zhiyuan holding a lantern to light the way for him, he couldn't help feeling shy and his face was slightly hot. Fortunately, it was already dark and he couldn't see the change in her face.

Liu Lu was greatly surprised at the side. He pointed an orchid finger at Chen Bing angrily and shouted angrily in a high-pitched voice: "Ah! It's you! What are you doing here? Why are you, a country woman, in my Erlangjun's car? How can this happen?"

Sir! You are worthy of sitting in this car?! You have soiled this precious car! You, why don’t you get out of here quickly! Erlangjun, what is going on? Why is she with you?

Erlangjun..."

When Chen Bingfu got out of the car, Liu Lu pointed at his nose and scolded him. He was angry in his heart, but he didn't reply with sarcasm. He didn't look at the monk's face and looked at the Buddha's face. After all, he was Liu Zhiyuan's scholar. Chen Bing sneered in his heart, turned around and said calmly.

He looked at Liu Zhiyuan.

Liu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Lu carefully.

Qiu Yi was very surprised, and even felt a little disgusted. He waved his hand vigorously, interrupted Liu Lu's words, and said solemnly: "Stop! Are you allowed to say these words! Have you forgotten your identity again?! Huh,

Look at how you look, how can you be neither a man nor a woman? If you don’t go in, take off your hair and wash your face!”

Liu Lu stared at Chen Bing with eyes that seemed to burst out of fire, his nose twitched, and he clenched his teeth. He looked back at Liu Zhiyuan with dissatisfaction, but did not dare to disobey him. He stamped his feet, turned around, and headed back to the hospital. Liu Zhiyuan

But he called him from behind. Liu Lu was overjoyed, thinking that Liu Zhiyuan was going to drive Chen Bing away, so he quickly turned around and asked, "Do you have any other instructions for Mr. Erlang?"

Liu Zhiyuan sighed, and his words were no longer as harsh as before. He said gently: "After you finish cleaning, tidy up the west wing and go get a new bedding. My second mother will sleep here tonight."

Liu Lu's disappointment was palpable, and he glared at Chen Bing fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her. Liu Lu helplessly responded "Yes", bowed slightly to Liu Zhiyuan, and then turned back. into the courtyard.

Liu Zhiyuan put his hand on his forehead, shook his head, and said apologetically to Chen Bing: "I'm really sorry. This Liu Lu is spoiled. I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future, and I'll ask my second mother to respect her."

Chen Bing didn't say anything more. Looking at Liu Zhiyuan's frightened look, he suddenly felt very interesting. He chuckled lightly with a "puff". There was a bit of mischief in his eyebrows, but he pretended to be serious and scolded: "You How long do you want me to blow the cold wind at the door? Is this how you, a big devil, treat guests?"

Liu Zhiyuan patted his head and hurriedly held up a lantern to light up the road ahead. The two of them walked into the courtyard one after the other.
