Listening to Wang Liang’s identify, Cheng Bao’er paused for a second, and after some time, a suspicious blush appeared on his face.
Cheng Yun silently chuckled in his coronary heart, however he didn’t present it on his face. He subtly probed Bao’er along with his phrases.
If was stated that Cheng Bao’er didn’t have a lot ideas about Wang Liang yesterday, after this morning, his temper has undergone a major change. Nevertheless, when somebody within the early phases of affection talks about love-related matters, they are typically significantly shy and unable to specific themselves clearly.
In his coronary heart, Cheng Yun silently sighed, “Ah, youth is really fantastic,” however on the similar time, he couldn’t assist however really feel a bit psychologically unbalanced.
He had by no means been pursued earlier than, and but Cheng Bao’er received married on the first alternative. Though the particular person he married appears passable for now, he nonetheless needed to expertise the ambiguous emotions of budding love.
The extra Cheng Yun thought of it, the extra uncomfortable he felt, unable to withstand reaching out and pinching Yang Hongjin’s face.
Yang Hongjin, who was driving the donkey cart, was immediately pinched and blankly turned to take a look at Cheng Yun.
The 2 stared at one another, and the primary to lose was Yang Hongjin. As if making an attempt to please, he smiled at Cheng Yun, sweetly calling him “spouse,” utterly unaffected by Cheng Yun’s face pinch. Taking a look at Cheng Yun, he even felt somewhat happy.

Cheng Bao’er was nonetheless immersed in his personal budding feelings, when he was immediately full of pet food. Wanting on the two folks in entrance of him, the nascent emotions in his coronary heart rapidly blossomed. He had by no means preferred anybody earlier than, however now he had a slight eager for love.
The trio continued chatting and laughing and rapidly arrived at Tengyun City. It had been nearly half a month since they final visited Yueqiong Tower. Now there was a brand new shopkeeper at Yueqiong Tower, and he was properly conscious of what occurred to the earlier shopkeeper. Seeing Cheng Yun from a distance, earlier than they even reached the door, he greeted them.
Cheng Yun didn’t inform Liu Wen prematurely about his go to this time, however fortunately Liu Wen wasn’t out right this moment. After sitting downstairs for some time, they had been led to a non-public room upstairs the place Liu Wen was ready.
“What wind blew you right here, Cheng-Ge’er?” Liu Wen rapidly greeted him to sit down whereas pouring tea for him. He seen Cheng Bao’er’s new face and raised an eyebrow, “And who is that this?”
Cheng Yun greeted him and launched the 2, “That is my youthful brother, Cheng Bao’er, and that is Boss Liu, the proprietor of Yueqiong Tower.”
Cheng Bao’er had by no means seen such a distinguished particular person earlier than and felt a bit uncomfortable. He adjusted his garments and, he with an initially smooth voice, now grew to become even decrease, barely audible, he lowered his head, “Good day, Boss Liu, I’m Cheng Bao’er…”
Liu Wen, being a slick businessman, didn’t actually catch what was stated however nonetheless responded with a smile, “Good day, whats up.”
Nothing occurs and not using a purpose, and Cheng Yun’s go to this time was positively not only for a easy greeting. Furthermore, Liu Wen had already heard that Cheng Yun had introduced a cart filled with issues this time.
So, after exchanging a number of pleasantries, Liu Wen couldn’t wait and requested, “Cheng-Ge’er, have you ever provide you with any new dishes this time? I’ll be sincere with you, the chilly dishes and pine nut fish you advised final time made Yueqiong Tower well-liked all through the city. Individuals from even the neighboring city got here right here out of curiosity. Simply wait till night, throughout the lunch hour, you’ll see there are folks lining as much as get a seat!”
As Liu Wen spoke, pleasure flushed his face. Initially, he had confidence in Cheng Yun’s dishes, however he approached it with a trial-and-error mindset. If it labored out, nice; if not, he would solely lose a number of dozen taels of silver. The meals would positively promote, it was only a matter of kind of revenue.
Nevertheless, he didn’t anticipate that inside a number of days of introducing the brand new dishes, he was nonetheless frightened about easy methods to promote them when Li Fan introduced him excellent news.
That morning, after making his rounds within the retailer, he went straight to the kitchen to debate the brand new dishes with Chef Ye. However as quickly as he stepped into the kitchen, Li Fan hurriedly rushed in.
He gasped for breath and pointed exterior, “B-Boss!”
Liu Wen hardly ever noticed him so anxious, which startled him, pondering that one thing massive had occurred.
Because it turned out, it was certainly an enormous matter, however one.
Normally, enterprise at Yueqiong Tower throughout the morning market was first rate, with simply sufficient clients to fill the place. Sometimes, there can be a number of empty tables. Nevertheless, solely two days after the introduction of the brand new dishes, information unfold from someplace, claiming that Yueqiong Tower had employed a brand new chef and the style of the brand new dishes was distinctive. All through Tengyun City, no, all through your complete Nanming Metropolis, there couldn’t be any dishes as scrumptious!
So, the information rapidly unfold, and even throughout the morning market, a wave of consumers arrived, filling the halls of Yueqiong Tower. Everybody needed to strive the brand new dishes. Even the common clients couldn’t discover a desk and needed to be served in a non-public room.
This word-of-mouth publicity gave Yueqiong Tower a popularity. These days, folks would focus on their new dishes over tea and dinner. Those that hadn’t eaten there have been thought-about ignorant, whereas those that had tried the meals regarded down on them. Consequently, increasingly more folks got here, from morning until evening, holding the door of Yueqiong Tower busy.
Liu Wen managed to grab away the enterprise of his rivals on the town. As of late, he loved strolling via city, listening to folks speak about how distinctive his meals was. His face beamed with pleasure. In fact, aside from that, the cash in his pocket additionally elevated. Beforehand, most clients would order one meat dish, one vegetarian dish, and a soup. Now, it grew to become customary so as to add two chilly dishes. On the finish of the meal, he would earn an additional half a tael of silver in comparison with earlier than.
Having tasted success, he needed to capitalize on it and launch the brand new dishes into the market unexpectedly. Nevertheless, he was afraid that when this wave handed, folks wouldn’t come again. With out many new dishes in hand, he didn’t dare to rapidly introduce extra.
For Liu Wen, Cheng Yun’s go to was like somebody bringing him a pillow whereas he was dozing off. These days, Liu Wen virtually noticed Cheng Yun as a culinary genius. Any dish he guided them on offered higher than earlier than!
Cheng Yun had accomplished his personal duties earlier than, helping the cooks in perfecting the dishes, after which he went again. He didn’t actually know concerning the subsequent developments. This time, aside from discussing the collaboration on bitter plum soup, he additionally needed to see how properly the earlier dishes had been promoting.
He had confidence in his personal abilities, however he wasn’t positive if his cooking suited the tastes of this period. Now it appeared that every little thing was progressing easily, and he might lastly breathe a sigh of reduction.
After pondering for a second, Cheng Yun continued, “To be sincere, this time I’ve provide you with some new concepts for our collaboration.”
Liu Wen’s eyes brightened, and he rubbed his fingers collectively, saying, “Come, come, I’m all ears.”
He requested Yang Hongjin to deliver the bitter plum soup Cheng Yun had introduced and personally opened it, scooping some out as he spoke, “It is a new beverage I’ve created known as ‘Bitter Plum Soup.’ Please style it and provides me your suggestions.”
Lifting the white material protecting the jar, the perfume of plums and osmanthus wafted out, fascinating Liu Wen even earlier than tasting it.
Liu Wen couldn’t wait and took a sip. The bitter and candy style of the bitter plum soup, together with the refreshing sensation from being chilled, swept away his morning drowsiness. He smacked his lips and took one other sip, unable to withstand calling his subordinates to deliver him a number of baskets of steamed buns.
“Ah, this soup,” Liu Wen sighed and took one other sip, his eyes shining brightly. “This soup is one thing good!”
Upon listening to these phrases, Cheng Bao’er, who had been feeling anxious, immediately felt relieved, and his entire physique relaxed.
Nevertheless, the subsequent second, he was stuffed with anxiousness as soon as once more.
Liu Wen contemplated for a second and decisively stated, “We’ve got solely traded sizzling dishes and chilly dishes earlier than, Cheng-Ge’er, identify your value. I wish to purchase the recipe for this soup!”
Cheng Bao’er’s face turned pale, and he checked out Cheng Yun in a panic.
This, that is completely different from what they’d deliberate earlier than!
If Boss Liu immediately buys the recipe, can they nonetheless promote this bitter plum soup?
Below the gaze of everybody, Cheng Yun, unruffled, smiled at Liu Wen and opened one other jar of bitter plum soup. He scooped a recent cup for Liu Wen and stated, “No rush, do this one too.”
Liu Wen raised an eyebrow, seemingly shocked by Cheng Yun’s response. He didn’t know what sort of trick Cheng Yun was taking part in, so he suppressed his pleasure and obediently took the cup of bitter plum soup, taking a sip.
“How is it?” After seeing him drink each cups, Cheng Yun requested, “Is it scrumptious?”

On the similar time, he tried to determine what Cheng Yun meant by “new collaboration.” With an air of authority, he exerted stress and requested, “What sort of collaboration do you take into account?”
Cheng Yun wasn’t in any respect overwhelmed by the perspective Liu Wen displayed. He nonetheless had a good-natured expression, and he patted Cheng Bao’er, who was sitting beside him, saying, “That is the explanation I wish to introduce our Bao’er to you.”
Liu Wen adopted his phrases and turned his gaze to Cheng Bao’er. Solely now, with Cheng Yun’s introduction, did he formally take a better have a look at this slender little one.
