Yang Ruxin had been doing quite well in business these past few days, every visit she’d sell out all the prepared ingredients within no time. Everyone even complained daily that she didn’t prepare enough, and if you arrived late, there was none left, but since that’s how much there was every day, everyone got used to it. If you want to eat, you’d better come early.
However, Yang Ruxin felt somewhat depressed.
The original spot near the docks was always filled with rough men, and the pancake fruit she prepared was intended for them. But for some unknown reason, starting from Qiantian, women also began to show up.
As for pancake fruit, it’s actually suitable for all ages and genders, so women coming to buy wasn’t an issue. But why were they constantly gazing at Gu Qingheng? They were even flirting. Clearly, their interest wasn’t just in the wine, but in the handsome men.
"Gu Qingheng, stop following me here from now on." Yang Ruxin glanced at someone who was completely oblivious.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Qingheng looked confused.
Erni covered her mouth and let out a chuckle, but Gu Yao tugged at her sleeve, and she stopped laughing.
"What exactly is wrong? I’ve heard today’s business was good..." Gu Qingheng said, patting the purse on his lap, "You sold ten more today..."
"If you keep coming, I’m going to start charging you extra." Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes.
Gu Qingheng frowned.
"Big brother, those people are actually here to see you..." Gu Yao couldn’t bear to see his big brother so puzzled, "Sister-in-law is jealous..."
"Who’s jealous?" Yang Ruxin glared at Gu Yao, "I’m drinking soy sauce here..."
"What’s soy sauce?" Erni asked curiously.
"Ah?" Yang Ruxin looked at Erni, suddenly realizing that she had not noticed that soy sauce didn’t exist in this era. She hastily tugged at the corner of her mouth, "It’s the liquid separated from the paste, it can replace salt..."
"No wonder every time you cook you scoop that salty liquid from the sauce jar..." Erni suddenly understood.
"Let’s not talk about soy sauce for now, let’s talk about jealousy. How am I jealous?" Gu Qingheng had already realized what was happening but still pretended to be clueless.
"I said it’s not about being jealous." Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes gracelessly.
"Then why don’t you want me to come?" Gu Qingheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Because those women come just for you, not for my food." Yang Ruxin sighed, "Initially, this food was for those who work hard, but since they started interfering, many others can’t get any..."
"If you don’t come, they won’t come either."
"But, I want to be with you..." Gu Qingheng appeared slightly plaintive.
"Then just wait for me in the courtyard." Yang Ruxin smiled, "It’s only about an hour anyway, we’ll go home together afterward..."
Gu Qingheng did not respond.
"You know what I’m capable of, no one can bully me." Yang Ruxin emphasized again, "With Erni helping me, that’s enough..."
Gu Qingheng smiled but neither nodded nor shook his head, simply suggesting they eat outside before going home since there was someone to cook at home anyway. Yang Ruxin had no objections, and neither did Gu Yao and Erni.
After eating, they had originally planned to wander the streets a bit, but then Liuyun arrived, panting.
"What brings Liuyun here?" Yang Ruxin frowned.
"Sister Xin, it’s not good, there’s been trouble..." Liuyun arrived, gasping for breath.
