"Looking at this dish again, the mountain bamboo shoots are dehydrated and dried in a special way, then salted and then stir-fried with tenderloin..."
Liu Sheng introduced it while Wu Xiang tasted it. The more she ate, the more obvious the surprise in her eyes became.
Qingzhou County is not far from Anwu Town, and it's not like she hasn't heard of Cyclamen.
However, even if he had guessed that Cyclamen's food would be good, and tasted it one by one in person, Wu Xiang was also shocked from ear to ear, and his eyes gradually became ambitious.
If this restaurant became hers, wouldn't she be able to enjoy delicacies from the mountains and seas every day?
In an instant, Chu Yan's heroic figure appeared in her mind again.
right!
If she really wants to stay in this place, the most important thing is Chu Yan!
However, just as this thought came out, the door was pushed open, and Su Liuye walked in leisurely, "How about it, is there anything you particularly like? You can take some with you when you leave."
Wu Xiang stood up quickly, put down her chopsticks and looked over, "Thank you cousin for the hospitality. Everything in this store is delicious. I like them all!"
"As long as you like it, but I remember that Aunt Chang Ping liked to eat fish before. Why don't I bring you a squirrel mandarin fish when I leave later?"
For some reason, Wu Xiang became a little decadent when he mentioned his family. Regarding Su Liuye's suggestion, he just shook his head with a wry smile.
"Let my cousin worry about it, but since my father became terminally ill, my mother's condition has gone from bad to worse... As of now, she has actually been in bed for many days. Not to mention eating such greasy food, even porridge and side dishes are a bit... I can’t eat anymore…”
Wu Xiang let out a long sigh, but Su Liuye frowned, "I've been in bed for many days, how can I still make porridge and side dishes?"
Liu Sheng couldn't help but echoed, "Indeed, it is better to take some tonic soups to help replenish the body."
Wu Xiang smiled bitterly again, "Of course I also know this truth, but I do my best every day just to get medicine for my parents. The so-called eating better is just to get some supplements at home..."
Lowering his head and fiddling with his fingers for a moment, Wu Xiang had tears in his eyes, and his voice became weaker, "Cousin, I'm really scared... I don't know how long my parents can last in this situation..."
"well--"
Su Liuye sighed when she heard this, and looked at Wu Xiang's hand with a trace of pity in her eyes.
Apart from other things, there are still a few burn marks on this girl's hands. It seems that she got the medicine herself for her parents.
She is filial.
Su Liuye couldn't help but stretched out her hand, squeezed her hand gently, then took out the twelve taels of silver that had just been sealed and stuffed it into Wu Xiang's hand, "If you call me cousin, I should feel sorry for you." It's your money, you take it back and use it first!"
"After you go home, remember to find a good doctor for Aunt Chang Ping. As long as I have time in the past two days, I will go see you immediately!"
After receiving the heavy amount of silver, Wu Xiang remained calm, stretched out her hand and squeezed it gently. Only when she felt the weight of the red envelope did she nod with satisfaction, "I have received your cousin's wishes. When I go home to serve my parents, If my cousin is in need, I can be a cow or a horse. As long as I can repay my cousin's kindness, I am willing to do anything!"
When speaking, Wu Xiang bowed deeply again, his whole body humbled to the extreme.
Su Liuye quickly stretched out her hand to help the person up, then turned around and returned to Liu Sheng, "Go and tell the kitchen to save two portions of the soup we made today for my cousin to take back."
"Yes!" Liu Sheng turned around and left.
Wu Xiang bit her lip, and when she raised her head again, tears welled up in her eyes, "Cousin, you have been so good to us. I don't know how to repay your kindness in this life..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are a family, and we should help each other. Why should we repay each other in return?"
"If you really want to say something in return, you might as well ask Aunt Chang Ping and Xia Xuan to get better soon. My efforts will not be in vain!"
"Yes," Wu Xiang wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes, her expression gradually becoming firmer, "I will definitely take good care of them, and there is absolutely no way I would let anything happen to them like this!"
Soon, Liu Sheng came up with a few snacks and a food box, and placed everything on the table.
"Shopkeeper, everything you asked me to prepare is ready!"
"Well," Su Liuye agreed softly, and squeezed Wu Xiang's hand again, "It's getting late, and you still have your parents at home, so I won't keep you much longer. I'll let the carriage take you back. Be careful on the way. "
"Thank you, cousin. Cousin, when you have time, you must come and sit at my house!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely go if I have the chance!"
Seeing Liu Sheng leading people to put Wu Xiang on the carriage, Su Liuye rubbed his eyebrows and sat down on the spot.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Sheng's voice came from outside the door, "The shopkeeper?"
"Come in."
The next second, the door was pushed open with a scratch, and Liu Sheng walked in, with a slightly solemn look on his face.
Su Liuye opened her slightly closed eyes and looked over, "How is it?"
"You'd better be more careful!" Liu Sheng shook his head, "I took people to put the food in the car, but my cousin didn't even bother to look at it!"
"Hmm? Then what does she value?"
"Of course it's the silver you gave me!" Liu Sheng was filled with indignation, "I can clearly see the ten taels of silver you gave me. From the moment I got it, my cousin paid attention to it every minute and every second. I’m afraid someone will snatch it away!”
"This...maybe it's just because the money was her parents' life-saving money..."
"The tonic soup is also a good thing, but my cousin doesn't care about it!"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Su Liuye pinched her eyebrows again.
She didn't spend much time with Wu Xiang today, but she could tell something was wrong.
But she couldn't understand what the other party wanted.
If it was just a few taels of silver, she would be the least concerned.
Apart from other things, just because she has seriously ill parents at home, the ten taels of silver cannot be saved.
After all, in her memory, she had contact with Aunt Chang Ping when she was a child.
At that time, Aunt Chang Ping always held her in her arms with a gentle expression. Not only would she give her food and drinks, but she would also tell her stories and take her out shopping.
When she was sick and uncomfortable, she even had to share her meals.
Her memory also showed that Aunt Chang Ping and her parents were just cousins.
But Aunt Chang Ping has always treated her as her own daughter.
She can't gamble.
"Forget it, you go make arrangements. I'm going to Anwu Town tomorrow morning!"
