Chapter 57: It’s Impossible Between Us
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The most painful thing in the world wasn’t that you loved me, and I didn’t love you. It was when money was to be made, but there was no stock.
A few days ago, during a shopping spree, Xiaoxiao had bought a lot of seasonings and even found a sharp-tipped chili pepper. After trying to make this chili pepper into pickled peppers, she was tempted to make pickled peppers, phoenix claws, pork skin, pickled peppers, chicken, pickled peppers, fish skin, and so on. However, with her family’s conditions, she could not afford those raw materials for the time being, so she could only continue to make bamboo shoots.
However, it had to be said that the pickled peppers and bamboo shoots tasted pretty good. Other than Ning Fengnian, who had yet to recover, everyone in their family had fallen in love with this new flavor. Today, they wanted to try bringing it out to sell.
She was not a fortune-teller. How could she have known that Old Madam Wang would come today? Besides, she had been busy supplying the seven jars of Fragrance Restaurant most of the time recently and did not have the time to do anything else. The small jar was her trial work.
The pepper was not spicy enough. With the current taste, she could eat the entire jar without drinking water, so she was not worried that the county magistrate’s son would be unable to take it. However, she did not expect him to personally appear in front of their stall.
About two days later, Xiaoxiao returned to look for Second Brother after her eldest brother accompanied her to the Ruyi Clothing Shop to draw the last zodiac sign. She realized there was a familiar-looking Old Madam Wang and a little fatty she had never seen before standing in front of the stall.
Two servants were standing behind the little fatty. He put his hands behind his back and raised his head. “1 want to eat the pickled bamboo shoot tip with pepper!”
This was the young master that Old Madam Wang had painstakingly tried to please, the young master of the county magistrate’s family, Shen Tianci. Yesterday, he had eaten Xiaoxiao’s special pickled bamboo shoot tip with pepper and was immediately attracted by the unique taste. He really couldn’t stop eating. Although the spiciness made him drenched in sweat, he was extremely refreshed.
However, just as he could not stop, the servants stopped him from eating. Even if he lost his temper, the servants only invited the Old Master and Madam to persuade him not to hurt his stomach. The servants even lied to him that it was empty.
Shen Tianci did not believe it. He ran to the kitchen and saw only a shallow layer of pickled vegetables.
The servants also felt that even if their master liked to eat it, he would only try it fresh. In the past, he had always loved to eat something for a while, no matter what he ate. Thinking that although it was not expensive, the taste was really special, so they simply divided it up.
This time, they had made him angry. It was rare for Shen Tianci to find something to save his appetite other than the pickled bamboo shoot tip with pepper. When he discovered that a servant had secretly eaten it, he wanted to hit someone. When Old Madam Wang, who had gone out for a walk and eaten two taels of melon seeds, came back and saw this scene, she quickly told him about the Ning family’s stall and even promised to buy more tomorrow.
However, Shen Tianci was in high spirits. He, who had always obeyed his family, was unwilling to wait until tomorrow. He immediately grabbed Old Madam Wang and came to look for Xiaoxiao.
However, Xiaoxiao and the rest did not bring pickled bamboo shoot tips with pepper today. They did have some sour bamboo shoots, which were extra when they were supplying the restaurant.
Shen Tianci’s enthusiasm for sour bamboo shoots had passed. If not for wanting to eat them today, he might not have been too interested in pickled bamboo shoot tips with pepper. After hearing Ning Erlang’s explanation, he waved his chubby hand and made a decision that he thought was perfect.
“I’ll go home with you to get it!”
Ning Erlang was shocked. Was there a need to go so far just for some food?
Xiaoxiao had no objections. While waiting, she suggested closing the stall directly. Although the county magistrate’s son had the family’s carriage to pick him up, if he returned too late, he was also afraid that it would be unsafe to travel in the dark. When she heard Xiaoxiao mention this concern, Old Madam Wang was deeply grateful, and her good impression of Xiaoxiao and her brothers soared.
Ning Erlang felt that business was average and he was bored, but he didn’t expect his sister to suddenly turn around and ask the county magistrate’s son, “What do you usually like to eat?”
Shen Tianci narrowed his eyes and sized up the little girl before him. He said arrogantly, “Give up. It’s impossible between us. Although my father told me 1 shouldn’t look down on someone and can’t judge a book by its cover, you’re not my type..”
