Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 156 I love chestnut cake the most, can you make it?

Shen Yu secretly pondered whether he could think of a way to help Zhou Dalang after the matter was over.

This person is cowardly and has no special skills. I wonder how the three of them will survive if they leave this place.

Shen Yu took out his purse and took out the banknotes and money slips: "Both the banknotes and money slips are from Huilong Bank and can be redeemed immediately. The banknote is for four hundred taels. Please have a look at the money slips, Master Lu."

Mr. Lu took the banknote and examined it, saying it was genuine.

Zhou Dalang said beside him: "Can I pay the silver for my crime now? The seven-day deadline is almost up."

Lu Lang pointed out, "Zhou Dalang, you have to go to the other side of the criminal lawyer's room first and get a receipt. Only then can Master Lu accept your payment."

As he said this, he called over Liu Sanjiang, who had been standing by to watch the fun, and told him, "Take Zhou Dalang over there to do it, and come back quickly."

Liu Sanjiang replied yes and took Zhou Dalang out.

After a short while, they both came back.

Zhou Dalang handed the document to Master Lu, who then accepted the banknote.

The remaining silver and money is still in Shen Yu's account. It is necessary to send a messenger to go to Huilong Money House with Shen Yu and transfer it to the county government's account. There is no need to withdraw cash or issue silver bills.

Master Lu originally wanted to call a messenger to go with Shen Yu.

Lu Lang said calmly, "Don't bother. I have nothing to do right now. Miss Shen and I can go together."

He looked at the people in the room and said, "Master Lu, I will guarantee it, so you don't have to worry about anything. Just give the house deed to the eldest lady of the Shen family first."

He paused and said with a serious face: "You just wait here. There is no need to follow a large group of people. We are just going to get some money, not to rob."

After saying that, he stretched out his arm, took the money note from the county government that Master Lu had just taken out, turned around, and strode out.

Li was afraid that he was the son of the county magistrate, so she dared not refute. She could only watch as Shen Yu picked up her family's money and documents on the table and trotted after him.

Liu Sanjiang and Master Lu looked at each other, with a hint of mischief in their eyes.

After leaving the county government office, Shen Yu wanted to call a mule cart, which would make the round trip faster.

Lu Lang said with embarrassment: "Miss Shen, let's go on foot. I left in a hurry and didn't bring any money."

Shen Yu raised the small purse in his hand and said, "I still have money for travel."

As he said this, he waved to the coachman who was waiting for passengers on the street.

However, Lu Lang waved at the driver with a look of disgust, signaling him not to come over.

Shen Yu looked at Lu Lang in confusion. Lu Lang turned and walked forward, saying as he walked: "I'm not used to riding in a mule cart. It's too smelly."

Shen Yu was speechless. The county magistrate's son was just different. He was so particular.

Shen Yu secretly rolled his eyes behind Lu Lang and quickly followed him.

Fortunately, the county government office was not too far from Huilong Money House. If one walked quickly, it would only take the time of an incense stick to get there.

Lu Lang and Shen Yu were walking one after the other on the street.

Lu Lang strode forward in front, but Shen Yu's mind was not on walking, but looking around while walking.

There are various shops on both sides of the street. Shen Yu wondered in his heart, what kind of food should he make after taking over Zhou Dalang's shop?

It would be nice if there were some chili peppers. Boiled fish, malatang, hotpot, kebabs. I haven’t had spicy dishes for a long time.

In Shen Yu's mind, those spicy and delicious foods kept flashing around like a kaleidoscope, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Lu Lang in front suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "Miss Shen, can you make chestnut cake?"

Shen Yu was lost in thought, so he just kept up.

As soon as Lu Lang stopped, she bumped into him unexpectedly.

it hurts!

Shen Yu rubbed his sore nose, tears were about to come out, and he shouted angrily: "What's wrong with you? You were just walking, why did you suddenly stop?"

Lu Lang reached out to hold her shoulders, then quickly put his hand down.

He awkwardly rubbed his chest where Shen Yu had bumped into him, and said innocently, "Miss Shen, why didn't you look at the road when you walked? I had already stopped, and you bumped into me."

Shen Yu was speechless. So it was all my fault? He was really putting the blame on someone else.

Shen Yu wanted to say a few more words to him, but when he saw the scholar's robe Lu Lang was wearing, he quickly stopped talking.

Forget it, forget it. I’m just a small vendor, so I won’t bother with you, the son of an official.

Shen Yu comforted himself and smiled: "Li Gao, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Lu Lang said hesitantly, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I received a box of small reunion cakes from Captain Xing. They were soft and slightly sweet, and melted in my mouth. They were similar to the chestnut cakes I often ate when I was a child."

"I asked Captain Xing and found out that you made it. I thought that since you can make delicious little reunion cakes like that, you should be able to make chestnut cakes very well too."

Shen Yu walked forward and said, "Sir, you are too kind. I know how to make chestnut cake. I wonder if it tastes like the one you ate when you were a child."

Lu Lang said nostalgically, "My grandmother is from the south. When I was little, every time I went to her house to pay my respects, she would take out a box of snacks and let me choose what I liked. My favorite was chestnut cake."

"After I started to study, my grandfather refused to let me visit my grandmother often, saying that women only spoil children. My grandmother also didn't dare to invite me to have snacks."

As Lu Lang spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Lang consoled him, "Your grandfather is doing this for your own good. Eating too much sweets is not good for your health. Besides, you are already this old. If you want to eat some, you can just buy some secretly."

Lu Lang walked forward, his eyes looking into the distance, as if he had returned to his childhood. He smiled and said, "When I was studying at home, I did secretly ask the servant to go out and buy some, but the chestnut cakes my grandmother gave me were all freshly made in the morning, delicate and soft, and slightly sweet. The ones bought on the street are too sweet, sweet and greasy. After eating half a piece, I would have to drink a large pot of tea to go with it, so I stopped buying them."

Shen Yu looked at the disgusted expression on Lu Lang's face and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Lang's face flushed red all of a sudden, and he said hesitantly: "I knew that Miss Shen would laugh at me if I told her, but the chestnut cake I bought is really not delicious."

Shen Yu was afraid that he would be annoyed by his laughter, so he quickly stopped laughing and said, "Chestnut cakes are not difficult to make. It's almost Double Ninth Festival now, and it's the season when new chestnuts are on the market. How about tomorrow? I can't do it tomorrow because I have to close the shop. After I'm done with these two busy days, I'll make some and send them to Master Lu."

Lu Lang said with a look of surprise: "Thank you very much, Miss Shen. I will send someone to bring you some new chestnuts this afternoon."

Xiang Xiang added, "Next time Miss Shen comes to the county government office, just give your name. I will tell the gatekeepers and they will let you in."

The two chatted and soon arrived at Huilong Money House.
