Chapter 133 Dark Cuisine
It was indeed beyond Zhou Ji's expectation that Wu Qihao was not involved in this matter, but if the second wife of the Su family was involved, then there were some things related to human relations that need to be considered.
Su Tan'er wanted to fight for the palm print wholeheartedly, and Su Zhongkan's faint move was equivalent to taking the initiative to hand over the handle to Su Tan'er, which may not be a good thing for her.
Of course, if Zhou Ji is alone, then there is no need to worry about these messy things. At worst, let him go and let him go in the future.
After collecting Sun Erhu's confession, Zhou Ji called Geng Nuo Yuan to find a rope to tie Sun Erhu up. Be strong.
After this scene of standing up, for a while, all the shop assistants present were full of awe towards Zhou Ji, Zhou Ji glanced around, everyone's eyes dodged, even Xi Junyu felt terrified, and an inexplicable chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
I have to say that beauty is justice.
If a big man with a sloppy face suddenly violently hurts someone, even if there is a good reason, it will still make Su Tan'er feel a little terrified.
But if a handsome young man is well-dressed, has a gentle temperament, and looks inexplicably handsome when he looks at him, then he will give people a different feeling.
Although Su Tan'er didn't like Zhou Ji's aggressive approach, he also knew that he wanted to use this to build his prestige, so as to help him deter Xiaoxiao.
After the red face sang, it was naturally the turn of the white face to appear.
Su Tan'er inadvertently gave Zhou Ji a blank look, and then stepped forward to comfort the other shop assistants, promising to double the reward at the end of the month, and give a date with a stick. Although the method is a bit rusty, the effect is not bad.
At least after hearing the word double, the fear in everyone's eyes disappeared, and even the finishing work became harder.
Seeing that things in the store were almost done, Zhou Ji persuaded Su Tan'er to go back to the house to rest for the opening of the new store after dawn.
Su Tan'er was a little reluctant at first, but after sneezing a few times, she stopped insisting.
Back to Su's house, Xiao Chan, who had been waiting anxiously at the door for a long time, saw the carriage approaching, and hurriedly held up an umbrella to greet her.
When she was leaving earlier, Su Tan'er didn't ask her to come with her. She didn't know the news that the three of them had left the house until the strong wind and heavy rain came outside. Now she helped Su Tan'er who was almost soaked out of the carriage and touched On her icy cold arms, tears of distress were about to flow down. "Miss, you're back~ It's raining so hard outside, you've been out for so long, it's almost killing me."
"Huh? Why are your clothes so wet?" Xiaochan hurriedly took off her coat and put it on Su Tan'er, but Su Tan'er stopped her.
"It's okay, just go back to the room and replace it with a new one." Su Tan'er smiled palely, "This time it happened suddenly, I didn't expect it to be delayed for so long, I will call you next time I go out."
After showering and moving cloth all night, Su Tan himself was exhausted physically and mentally.
It wasn't until she returned to the room and took off her wet clothes that she realized that Zhou Ji hadn't followed. Su Tan'er subconsciously looked at the hole in the wall at the head of the bed. Bright.
"Where did my uncle go?" Su Tan'er put on a set of clean clothes and couldn't help asking through the bronze mirror.
Xiao Chan carefully wiped Su Tan'er's dripping long hair with a towel, and said hesitantly, "It seems to be going to the back kitchen, right?"
As soon as the voice fell, I heard a light knock on the door, turned my head to look, Zhou Ji pushed the door and entered, holding a tray in his hand.
Seeing Su Tan'er who was still combing her long hair, Zhou Ji lifted the bead curtain, put the tray on the table, and motioned, "Ye Yu hurts you the most. I made you a bowl of ginseng tea. You can take advantage of it now." Let's drink hot."
Su Tan'er's heart warmed, and she said thank you.
Looking at Su Tan'er who was sipping ginseng tea, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Ji's mouth.
Even though Su Tan'er and Fan Ruoruo are two completely different people, they look exactly the same after all, with every frown, smile, and every move, even the beauty mole on the side of their face.
It is human nature to love houses and birds.
Zhou Ji is not a reasonable person, nor is he the Holy Mother of the White Lotus. Even though he said that he would not make Su Tan'er a substitute for Fan Ruoruo, he still often confuses the two inadvertently.
After drinking the ginseng tea, Su Tan'er's pale and haggard face finally regained some rosiness. Zhou Ji raised his hand and lightly covered Su Tan'er's face, dispelling the medicinal power of ginseng for him, and once again felt that she, who had a wonderful internal force, did not resist it , but full of curiosity to feel the warm current flowing in the body, and the body that was a little chilled due to the rain gradually warmed up.
"Thank you for today."
After Xiaochan left, Su Tan'er covered the back of Zhou Ji's hand with another hand deep inside, pursed her red lips slightly, and said seriously, "Without you, Buxing's side would be unimaginable."
This is the second time that Su Tan'er thanked Zhou Ji, with a sincere tone from the heart.
I'm still adjusting my breath, what are you doing?
Zhou Ji was a little dumbfounded about his storage skills, raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you and I are married, we will be both prosperous and hurt. If you have to thank you, why don't you come with something practical."
Su Tan'er's pale face was immediately stained with a red glow, which extended upward from the jade neck, and climbed to the earlobe for a short time, and the watery eyes also changed from the clearness just now to a little flustered.
"I and you." No matter how generous and decent Su Tan'er is outside, she is just a little girl who just came out of the cabinet. She didn't know how to deal with this nominal husband, but now she was molested again.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Tan'er pulled away the hands holding Zhou Ji's palm in a panic, and hurried towards the bed, "I'm a little sleepy, let's talk about it another day."
Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled at Su Tan'er's fleeing.
After extinguishing the candles in the room, Zhou Ji walked towards the bed step by step in the darkened room, passed by Su Tan'er's bedside, looked at Su Tan'er whose head was covered in the quilt, whispered good night, and then turned off the bed. Open the wall cloth and drill into the ear room next door.
Su Tan'er's heart was about to jump out of her chest at this time, especially at the moment when the footsteps stopped at the head of her bed, she completely forgot the document she had signed with Zhou Ji, and she also forgot that Zhou Ji had promised She will not force the agreement.
Until she heard the phrase "good night", her extremely nervous mood suddenly calmed down, and she, who was already smart, immediately understood that Zhou Ji was actually deliberately teasing her.
Throwing off the thin quilt suddenly, Su Tan'er turned her head to look at another bed separated by only a cloth. The shower stopped, and everything was silent in the dark room.
She seemed to be able to hear Zhou Ji's breathing.
As if infected by Zhou Ji, Su Tan'er closed her eyes, followed Zhou Ji's breathing rhythm and slowed down her breathing. Slowly, she didn't even know when she fell asleep.
During a deep sleep, I had that dream again that I couldn't recall anyway.
As the sky brightened, Su Tan'er woke up from the lost mood again. There were no tears in the corners of her eyes, but there was an inexplicable sadness in her heart. Su Tan'er herself couldn't explain the origin of this mood, but she knew that today The opening of a new store is the most important thing for her.
"Thank God, Miss looks much better today, but luckily she was not damaged by the heavy rain last night."
Xiaochan brought clear water and saw Su Tan'er who had already gotten up and ran over quickly.
Hearing Xiao Chan's words, Su Tan'er finally realized that she had been traveling all day yesterday, and got caught in the rain in the middle of the night. As usual, even if she drank ginseng soup, she would look haggard and catch a cold.
But now not only is the spirit not sluggish, but even the body seems to be much more relaxed than usual.
Su Tan'er, who was only concerned about the new store, had no time to think about other things. After a little tidying up, she put this matter behind her and hurried to the new store to prepare for the opening.
Geng Nuyuan was transferred to the backyard of Xindian to guard Sun Erhu to prevent him from escaping in the chaos.
Zhou Ji, who had nothing to do, couldn't find anyone to talk to in Su's house. Feeling a bit bored, he left Su's house and went to the market for a stroll.
While passing by the Xiushui River, I suddenly remembered that I still 'owed' Nie Yunzhu a big goose, so I bought two little geese at the morning market and planned to send them to Nie Yunzhu.
Before he could leave the East Market, he saw a familiar figure beside the stone bridge very close to the market.
A coarse cloth dress could hardly conceal her delicate and dusty temperament. Beside her was a beautiful woman in a light blue silk knit jacket with a red flower skirt lining her chest. She was cleaning up the booth together with her.
"Miss Nie."
"Young Master Zhou."
Zhou Ji walked from the bridgehead with a goose in one hand. Nie Yunzhu and the woman next to him couldn't help but look surprised when they saw Zhou Ji's figure.
Nie Yunzhu was surprised that he could meet here by chance, but the woman next to him was surprised that someone knew Nie Yunzhu.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Zhou Ji raised the two big geese in his hands, and said with a smile: "Your Dabai died because of me last time, thinking about it today, I went to the market and bought two little geese to compensate you. "
"Oh! You are the one who stewed the big goose in the iron pot!" Yuan Jin'er, who had been watching and observing, clapped his hands before he realized it.
"Who is this?"
Nie Yunzhu didn't introduce it to Zhou Ji just now, and Zhou Ji didn't take the initiative to ask. Now seeing Yuan Jiner interjecting, Nie Yunzhu glanced at Yuan Jiner and saw that she didn't care, and just introduced, "This is my sister, Yuan Jiner .”
"Last time your stewed goose in an iron pot was delicious~!" Yuan Jin'er was lively by nature, pouted, "We can't make your taste at all according to the recipe you wrote down."
"The way of cooking also needs practice to make perfect, and you can master the heat after a few more tries." Zhou Ji smiled, looked at the pancakes on the booth, and asked curiously, "Is this your booth? It just so happened that I You haven't eaten yet, why don't you let me taste your craft?"
With pearls and jade in front, how could Nie Yunzhu be so confident.
With some hesitation and anticipation, he handed a finished pancake to Zhou Ji, while Yuan Jin'er next to him leaned back slightly, looking at Zhou Ji with a slightly distorted expression, as if he was admiring the brave, or remembering the martyrs.
Zhou Ji noticed Yuan Jin'er's strange expression, and he held up the pancake to bite down. Nie Yunzhu blinked, followed Zhou Ji's gaze, glanced at Yuan Jin'er who had a normal expression, and tilted his head, He looked at Zhou Ji again.
Zhou Ji raised the pancake again and opened his mouth to bite it off. Yuan Jiner, like a podcaster who ate too much black garlic, once again showed a weird expression on the tip of his tongue.
Zhou Ji stopped again. Seeing that Nie Yunzhu was about to turn his head to look at Yuan Jiner again, he finally gritted his teeth and took a big bite.
Although I don’t know how many times this girl named Yuan Jin’er has tried such ‘delicious food’, her subconscious expression is enough to give Zhou Ji a general expectation.
However, Zhou Ji's body swayed slightly after swallowing one gulp. Nie Yunzhu suddenly stood still in his expectant and apprehensive eyes, and his Adam's apple rolled, "Actually, it's okay." Swallow the whole pancake raw.
Under Yuan Jiner's thumbs up, he staggered to the tables and chairs while supporting the booth and sat down.
It is really tormenting to speak out of conscience.
Zhou Ji paused, his straight shoulders still collapsed, and smiled wryly, "How did Miss Nie think of making pancakes?"
Yuan Jin'er admired Zhou Ji's courage, ran over and sat next to him and said, "Not only pancakes, Sister Yunzhu has also made bean cakes, cooking cakes, tea cakes, and refreshments over the years." Yuan Jiner counted Nie Yunzhu's past years with his fingers With his entrepreneurial experience, Zhou Ji was full of black lines.
"Is this at odds with the catering industry?" Zhou Ji complained, his eyelids twitching.
Yuan Jin'er sighed, "My sister could have taught piano, but she didn't want to. She insisted on saying goodbye to the past, but she didn't know other crafts, so she had to practice at a small stall first."
Zhou Ji thought back to the toilet paper he was about to run out, and thought: "Miss Nie, I happen to have a business here and want to find a partner. I wonder if you are interested?"
Nie Yunzhu thought that Zhou Ji was pitying her, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Yuan Jiner next to him answered, "What kind of business, tell me?"
Zhou Ji prepared paper towels instead of toilet paper before crossing, so it was not very easy to explain to the two of them, so he could only pull out a piece of heart from his sleeve, introduce the general situation of toilet paper, and explain the process of making the local method to the two over again.
After hearing the advantages and disadvantages of toilet paper, and seeing the fragrant paper towel in their hands, Nie Yunzhu and Yuan Jiner immediately understood the importance of this thing.
It was precisely because they knew that they were even more surprised by Zhou Ji's actions.
"You just told us the formula and production method?" Nie Yunzhu and Yuan Jin'er looked at each other and said in unison.
Zhou Ji waved his hand, "I'm not interested in doing business. I made this thing just for my own convenience. It doesn't make any difference to me who made it. Even if I don't meet you today, I will find someone to help me make a room. The workshop produces paper."
"Then why didn't you give the recipe to Miss Su?" Nie Yunzhu asked curiously when he knew Zhou Ji's Su's son-in-law.
"Money can't be earned." Zhou Ji shook his head and said quietly, "I still have a lot of recipes like this. The bigger the stall, the bigger the ambition. I don't want her to devote the rest of her energy to up here."
