Allure of a Country Maiden

Xiao'er didn't notice Zhu Yan's hesitation, but she didn't take the initiative to ask.

Several people talked about which shops in Shengping County had delicious food, and the atmosphere was good for a while.

Zhu Yan struggled a lot in her heart, and finally managed to mentally prepare herself, and mustered up the courage to speak. At this time, a waiter came up with four bowls of noodles.

Zhu Yan glared at the waiter dejectedly: "I can't come here in the morning or in the evening. Why did I come in just when he was about to speak?"

The clerk was so frightened by Zhu Yan's look that he almost fell over: This girl's eyes are so sharp! He didn't dare to put his face in front of her.

Seeing Zhu Yan like this, Xiaoer almost laughed.

Jingrui kindly brought the noodles on the tray to Zhu Yan and rescued the young boy.

The waiter cast a grateful look at Jingrui and ran away quickly.

The noodles here are very chewy, and the most important thing is the braised eggs, braised pork, sour bamboo shoots, fried soybeans... and other side dishes are very delicious. It costs 20 cents for a big bowl. Except for eggs and meat, other vegetarian options are available. Renjia, although it is not a good deal, there are many people eating it, and the waiters in the store are so busy that they don't even touch the floor.

Zhu Yan noticed her gaffe and secretly gritted her teeth. She was really embarrassed!

In order to save herself from her previous gaffe, after the noodles were served, Zhu Yan waved to the waiter to bring a small plate of sour bamboo shoots, fried soybeans, and sauerkraut.

When the waiter saw Zhu Yan waving, he decisively pretended not to notice and took a detour.

Zhu Yan:......

Xiaoer and Jing Hao glanced at each other, then quickly lowered their heads. They wanted to laugh but were too embarrassed to do so. They could only pretend to eat noodles seriously and didn't pay attention to anything.

Seeing that Zhu Yan's face was full of embarrassment, Jing Rui couldn't bear it, so he asked, "Miss Zhu, do you want to eat something else?"

"These side dishes are delicious, and there is no charge for adding vegetarian dishes. I want the waiter to bring a small plate of each dish."

After hearing this, Jingrui raised his hand and asked the waiter to add a few more side dishes, not only free vegetarian dishes, but also braised eggs and braised pork.

After Zhu Yan said it, she regretted it again. It was over. Why did she say she didn't want the money? It seemed like she loved petty gains! She is really not such a person! It’s just because I like eating so much that I want them to pay more for it!

Zhu Yan was about to cry, but her whole life was ruined by this small noodle shop!

After Jingrui finished instructing the waiters, he turned around and saw the tangled look on Zhu Yan's face. He wondered in his heart: What happened to this girl? Is it because he didn’t add enough vegetables?

Jing Rui thought about Zhu Yan's natural power. People with stronger strength usually eat more. Maybe her bowl of noodles was not full enough and she was too embarrassed to order another bowl in front of them, so she could only eat more side dishes?

However, most women eat more vegetables than staple food. My younger sisters eat less staple food, more meat and vegetables, and more snacks.

Thinking of this, Jingrui said, "One bowl of noodles seems too little. Miss Zhu, would you like to add another bowl?"

One bowl of noodles is too little, please add another bowl? !

Jingrui's words scared the three people at the table!

Xiao'er and Jing Hao quickly raised their heads and glanced at Jin Rui, only to see Jin Rui looking at Zhu Yan. They thought Jin Rui knew that Zhu Yan had a big appetite, and then looked at Zhu Yan: Unexpectedly, she was not tall. Not fat, but actually so edible!

But don’t be afraid. Their family is different now. It’s okay to marry a daughter-in-law with a big appetite. She will have plenty to eat! Jing Hao thought.

Seeing Xiaoer and Jing Hao looking at her like this, Zhu Yan's face instantly turned red: Mr. Shen thinks too highly of her. Although his surname is Zhu, no matter her figure or appearance, she can't be compared to a pig. ah!

"No need! I can't finish such a big bowl of noodles." Zhu Yan looked at Jingrui and said every word seriously. The expression on her face was like if you let me eat again, I will The energy to flip the table.

Seeing this, Jing Rui didn't dare to say anything more. He pointed at the noodles in the bowl: "Eat the noodles, eat the noodles, otherwise the noodles will get stuck together."

Zhu Yan nodded, and then said to Xiaoer: "County Master Rui'an, try this sour bamboo shoot, it's delicious."

Xiaoer nodded, picked up a sour bamboo shoot and tried it. It was sour, spicy and refreshing, with a moderate taste. It was indeed good.

For a while, no one spoke, just struggling with the noodles in the bowl.

The weather is freezing, so a bowl of hot noodle soup makes everyone feel better.

After eating noodles, a few people left the noodle shop, and then snowflakes began to fall in the sky.

At this time, Zhao Yong had already parked the carriage outside the noodle shop.

"It's snowing, Miss Zhu, I'll take you back home! Brother, Hao'er, you can go back home by yourself!" Xiaoer took Zhu Yan's hand and got on the carriage without giving her a chance to refuse.

The two of them also saw Zhu Yan's hesitant expression while eating noodles. Jing Rui and Jing Hao knew that Xiaoer wanted to ask Zhu Yan what she wanted to say, so they nodded knowingly and told them to be careful. Then he waved his hand and walked towards Liu's mansion.

In the carriage, Xiaoer didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "What does Miss Zhu want to say to us?"

Zhu Yan didn't expect Xiao'er to ask such a direct question, so she glanced outside the carriage.

"Miss Zhu, it's okay to say it." Xiaoer saw that she was worried about Zhao Yong and said directly.

"To be honest, I have something to ask of you." Zhu Yan paused after saying this.

Xiaoer said nothing, waiting for her to continue. As for what she asked for, whether he would agree to it or not would depend on what it was.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan continued: "County Master Ruian, my family has been in business for generations and is involved in all walks of life, but the main business is water transportation, tea and cloth."

There was a small stove in the carriage, which was warming a pot of milk tea. While pouring the tea, Xiaoer nodded to show that she was listening and that she knew this.

"In the past two years, when my father had no strength, he handed over water transportation to my second uncle to help manage it."

Here comes the point! Xiaoer raised her head and looked at Zhu Yan, did this girl surrender?

Could it be that County Lord Ruian already knew? Zhu Yan was shocked when she saw Xiaoer's meaningful eyes.

Xiaoer glanced at her and then lowered her head, picked up a cup of milk tea and put it in front of Zhu Yan: "Miss Zhu, have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."

Zhu Yan took the tea and thanked her. If County Lord Rui'an already knew, then she was even more glad that she took the initiative to speak out today. She took a sip of tea, calmed her mind, and continued: "A while ago, an old steward secretly told me that the family sent to the northwest The goods included a lot of grain and medicinal materials. Although my family has a grain and oil shop, my father said two years ago that the profit margin of grain was too small and decided to gradually stop collecting grain. I listened to the manager and secretly sent someone to check it out. , In the past two years, we have harvested more food than before! Lord Ruian, I won’t tell you what is going on in the northwest now, but you know it. What I want to say is that our family will never help others do evil!"
