Chapter 482 Deja Vu
"Second Master, don't you eat salty rice dumplings?"

He Lingyun was a little surprised, "Mrs. Fan also bought so many rice dumplings?"

Is he thinking of giving Fan Honghui an advantage so that he can do a favor?
Or……

Mrs. Fan knew that he liked to eat salty rice dumplings, so she bought some specially for him?
"I thought that these rice dumplings were all made by Madam Xia, so they must be delicious no matter whether they are sweet or salty, so I bought them all back specially." Fan Jinglan answered truthfully.

He Lingyun, "..."

This is what is meant by being sentimental.

However, Fan Jinglan's statement seems to be somewhat contradictory.

Because the rice dumplings were made by Madam Xia, they were delicious no matter what flavor they were. However, she obviously didn't eat salty rice dumplings and even said that they were not as delicious as sweet ones.

So, buying these rice dumplings to give to Fan Honghui is one thing, but the main purpose is to do it for Madam Xia's face?

Fan Jinglan noticed He Lingyun's complicated look and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"I just think...how should I put it...let's just say..." He Lingyun hesitated for a long time before organizing his words, "Are you too impressed with Madam Xia?"

"No." Fan Jinglan showed some doubt on her face, "It's just to support the business, and these are also considered to be required, so at most I can say that I did a favor."

"But then again, Madam Xia is a good cook, and her stall is doing very well on weekdays. The food is never hard to sell. Even if I buy all of it, it won't even count as a favor."

"On the contrary, if I buy them all at once, others won't be able to buy anything today, and Madam Xia will have to explain everything to others. If she meets those who are not easy to talk to, she will probably have to smile at them..."

"If you think about it carefully, I should have caused some trouble for Madam Xia."

So, according to Fan Jinglan's logic, paying to buy everything is equivalent to causing trouble for the other party?

Why does it seem weird the more I listen?

But seeing Fan Jinglan's serious expression, He Lingyun didn't know what to say. After a long pause, he could only stuff the remaining half of the rice dumpling in his hand into his mouth.

Swallow all these doubts!

After Fan Jinglan finished speaking, she stood up and asked He Lingyun, "Do you know where the dental clinic in this county is?"

"It's not far away. Go out of this alley..." He Lingyun thought for a moment and changed his statement to a simpler one. "Go east from Buyun Tower and walk two alleys to get there."

"Okay, I'll go there right now." Fan Jinglan said as she raised her foot to leave.

"What is Madam Fan planning to buy?" He Lingyun was a little curious.

"Buy a house." Fan Jinglan said, "I want to stay at the border for a while, but my second brother is a cautious person and will definitely not allow me to stay in the army for a long time. After thinking about it, Jinqiu County is quite suitable, so I want to buy a courtyard as a temporary place to stay."

"Since you are going to live in Jinqiu County, you can live here." He Lingyun said, "This place is spacious and elegant. There are servants everywhere and the work is done properly. Besides, I will be going back in two days, so it will be more convenient for you to live here."

"Your place is good, but it's a bit far from Madam Xia's home." Fan Jinglan told the truth, "I want to find a house closer to Madam Xia's home, preferably a neighbor's house, so that whenever Madam Xia makes something new to sell, I can know it first, and maybe I can have a chance to go to Madam Xia's home and taste the craftsmanship that outsiders can't taste."

"But I think this house might not be that easy to buy. Even if I buy it, it will take a few days to arrange it. So I'll probably have to stay here for a few days before things are settled."

"It's not a big deal to bother you, but..." He Lingyun's expression became more and more complicated, "You went through so much trouble just to eat the food prepared by Madam Xia?"

"Yes." Fan Jinglan answered affirmatively, but also a little confused, "Are these foods not delicious enough?"

He Lingyun touched his already bulging belly, but when he saw that there were still many meat dumplings, he still wanted to stuff some more into his mouth. He nodded without hesitation, "It's delicious enough!" "Then, isn't it worth it?"

"……worth!"

"Then what questions do you have?"

"Gone……"

The conversation ended quickly, and Fan Jinglan quickly found the dental clinic in Jinqiu County.

When the shopkeeper learned of Fan Jinglan's needs, he felt a little troubled. "To be honest with you, Madam Fan, no one in Xinghua Lane wants to sell a house for the time being, so..."

"I can add money."

The words sounded very ostentatious, but they also seemed very familiar to the pawnbroker's shop owner, as if he had heard them somewhere before.

But this is not a big deal. What is important is to serve the God of Wealth in front of us well.

"Since Madam Fan is quite interested in the house in Xinghua Lane, I will do my best to ask about it for Madam Fan."

The shopkeeper smiled but looked embarrassed. "But let me be frank first. Most of the residents of Xinghua Lane think that Xinghua Lane has good feng shui, and they feel very comfortable to be neighbors with Madam Xia. Even if Madam Fan pays more, she may not be able to buy it."

"Of course. As I said before, I will definitely do my best to ask for Madam Fan."

However, although it is difficult, such a big deal needs to be done in a way that is feasible.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Fan Jinglan handed over a hundred taels of silver note, "This is the deposit. If it's insufficient, you can make up the difference later."

"Okay." The pawnshop owner agreed hastily.

Then he asked Fan Jinglan about some other needs in detail and respectfully sent her out.

Then, he stroked the hundred-liang silver note for a long time, and looked at it again and again, full of thoughts.

"Does the shopkeeper think that this banknote is inappropriate?" the clerk asked upon seeing this.

"It's not fake, it just looks familiar." The pawnshop owner sighed.

"Don't all these banknotes look the same?" the clerk was extremely surprised.

"It's different." The pawnbroker shook his head and said seriously, "This banknote follows its owner. This banknote has a sense of wealth and nobility, which is different from ordinary banknotes. I remember receiving several banknotes similar to this one before. I have to put these banknotes together, so that they can bring me some wealth and nobility in the future."

Man, "..."

The boss of our company is getting more and more obsessed with doing business!
But that Madam Fan just now did look quite familiar.

It's not the appearance, but the aura of wealth and nobility, as if there was a woman with the same noble aura in the past...

Tsk tsk, why would he say something like that?

It is true that the clerks are like the shopkeeper. I need to be more careful in the future and not be led astray by the shopkeeper.

The next day, Fan Jinglan set off for the military camp.
