Chapter 351 Tomato Fish
So delicious.
It was so delicious that if he hadn't been concerned about the bones in the grass carp, he would have wanted to empty the entire pot of fish and the soup into his stomach in one breath.
But then again, when it comes to delicious food, many times you have to chew it slowly and enjoy its flavor.
It is unacceptable for a cow to chew a peony!
Yin Lingyou comforted himself in this way and slowed down his eating speed.
Just as Yin Lingyou was "leisurely" enjoying half a bowl of tomato fish, Mao Sanli came back from outside. When he saw his master enjoying the food in the yard, the candle he had just bought from outside fell to the ground.
What did he see?
Master is eating alone!
"Master." Mao Sanli walked over quickly, feeling distressed, "How could you enjoy the food alone without telling your disciple?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Where do I get so much strength?" Yin Lingyou glanced at Mao Sanli, "I was carrying you on my back, why didn't you say I was holding you?"
"But you came back just in time. I just saw that the water in our water tank was almost empty. You should go and fetch some water."
Mao Sanli, "..."
Why did he feel that his master was deliberately sending him away?
Are you really not going to give him even a little tomato fish?
Mao Sanli felt even more distressed and asked with difficulty, "Master, do you really not feel any pain in your conscience? I am your disciple."
"Compared to my disciple and the delicious food, the latter is naturally the most important." Yin Lingyou didn't even raise his head and urged, "Go get some water quickly, otherwise there won't even be water for tea later."
Seeing this, Mao Sanli had no choice but to pick up the wooden barrel and shoulder pole and go out.
Looking back every few steps.
He even sniffed the air twice.
The tomato fish smells so good, and he wants to eat it too...
Just thinking about this, Mao Sanli felt that the saliva in his mouth was like a flood.
Mao Sanli walked back swallowing his saliva, and when he reached the door of his house, he sighed.
I definitely won’t be able to eat tomato fish today…
Thinking about this, Mao Sanli stepped into the house. When he saw that Yin Lingyou was no longer in the yard, his guess was further confirmed.
After pouring all the water in the bucket into the water vat, Mao Sanli went to the table to clean up the dishes and chopsticks left by Yin Lingyou. But when he arrived at the table, he was stunned.
On the table were the chopsticks and porcelain bowl left over from when Yin Lingyou had just finished eating the tomato fish, but there was also a large bowl filled to the brim with tomato fish!
Mao Sanli was overjoyed, his eyes even lit up like stars in the sky, "Thank you, Master."
It turns out that Master is still thinking about him!
Mao Sanli happily picked up his chopsticks and ate with relish, enjoying the deliciousness of the tomato fish.
Yin Lingyou walked out of the house and pouted, "I didn't save it for you, but Madam Xia sent some more over. I really couldn't finish it, so I let you have it!"
"Yes, yes, Master is right." Mao Sanli chuckled.
Master is now becoming more and more adept at telling lies with his eyes open.
The fish bones on the table were still there, and it was obvious at a glance that several pieces of fish bones and fish heads were missing, and those were all in the bowl he was eating from, and there was still a lot of fish meat. It was obvious that the tomato fish in the bowl and the basin were made from the same fish...
But the master was stubborn and just let him go.
Mao Sanli still smiled and took a cake from the basket to eat with it, so as to slow down the speed of eating the tomato fish and avoid eating all the fish in one breath and then chewing the cake dry.
Seeing Mao Sanli eating happily, Yin Lingyou raised his chin and shook his head.
What a fool.
Silly disciple...

Xia Mingyue followed Yin Lingyou's instructions and added twice as much water to the original herbal tea recipe.
The herbal tea brewed in this way has a lighter taste of medicinal ingredients, is more comfortable and smoother in the mouth, and has an even better taste.
After giving the freshly-baked herbal tea to Yin Lingyou for a taste again, and getting his approval, Xia Mingyue brought the herbal tea to Buyun Tower.
After tasting the herbal tea and listening to Xia Mingyue's plan, Shopkeeper Ge and Lou Shanzi and his group all supported Buyunlou's launch of new herbal tea products.
Shopkeeper Ge further put forward his own opinions.
"Herbal tea is new and if it is sold separately, many people don't know its effects and are afraid to try it easily. Even if they are willing to buy it to drink, it is easy to confuse it with ordinary tea, which may cause trouble."
"Why don't we just give it away for free to guests in the private rooms for the time being? This can be seen as a way to give back to old customers. In addition, we can also arrange to give some old customers a pot or two of this herbal tea to establish the impression that it is rare."
In this way, this herbal tea can naturally become a unique drink that attracts guests to dine at Buyunlou.
Shopkeeper Ge is good at doing business, and this idea is very good. Xia Mingyue nodded repeatedly, "Let's do as Shopkeeper Ge says."
"okay!"
Shopkeeper Ge was recognized and became very motivated. That afternoon, he started to have people prepare herbal tea according to the recipe given by Xia Mingyue and made a list of guests who needed to be given herbal tea as a gift.
While Buyun Tower was busy, Xia Mingyue asked someone to deliver some herbal tea to Dexinyuan.
Old people are afraid of summer heat, and Mrs. He is no exception. Drinking some herbal tea on a daily basis is good for the body.
On the second day after the herbal tea was delivered, someone from Dexinyuan came.
The person who came was Manager Fu, and he came to look for Xia Mingyue for two things.
The first reason was because of the herbal tea that Xia Mingyue sent. She said that Old Madam He liked it very much and was grateful that Xia Mingyue still remembered her.
The second is to discuss the development of Xia Ji’s business in Changzhou City.
"I have already bought a courtyard in Changzhou City. This courtyard is clean and bright, enough to serve as a central kitchen. I have also bought a few good-behaved servants to serve me on a daily basis."
"I have already ordered the preparation of various utensils needed for the central kitchen, such as iron pots, stoves, various wooden basins, etc. They will be ready at any time."
"I have also arranged a few extra houses for Madam Xia to stay in. Madam Xia can go to Changzhou City at any time."
"I have already arranged for someone to inquire about the street layout, pavement conditions, and the status of stalls and customer flow on each road in Changzhou City, so that they can be used as a reference when choosing a location for Xia Ji's food stall."
After listening to Manager Fu, Xia Mingyue nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Manager Fu."
"Madam Xia, you are too kind to me. This is what I should do." Steward Fu said, "I came here today to report to Madam Xia on the various matters that I have been doing in Changzhou City during this period. I also want to confirm with Madam Xia the time when she will leave for Changzhou City."
Xia Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "It will take at most one month to three months to go to Changzhou City. It is a long time to be away from home. I need to take care of Buyun Tower and make sure it is settled properly. I also need to talk to Xia Ji about some things."
