CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 298: GOOD THINGS KEEP COMING (SECOND UPDATE)

As it turns out, it’s not just edible, it’s exceptionally delicious.

When Mu Shuangshuang put the chopped celery into the pot with the already mixed chicken and seasonings, she heard someone swallowing their saliva.

The aroma, it was really too enticing!

Especially after watching so many dried chilies go into the pot, despite having doubts, you just can’t resist the deepening memory in your taste buds.

No matter what, that fiery red color imprinted in your mind becomes an unforgettable memory.

Mu Shuangshuang took two pairs of chopsticks, first handing them over to Lu Yuanfeng and the Fat Chef. When it came to Lu Yuanfeng, she even thoughtfully prepared a glass of water for him, just waiting for him to eat before she handed it over.

The Fat Chef picked up a piece of golden chicken, chewed it in his mouth; the chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, dry, fragrant, and spicy, making his mouth water.

Spicy as it was, the more he ate, the more he wanted to eat. He grabbed several pieces in a row, and his mouth was almost red from the spice, but he just couldn’t stop.

After Lu Yuanfeng ate five pieces, Mu Shuangshuang stopped him. In such hot weather, if there’s no cooling tea or something, eating this spicy food might cause a nosebleed.

"Yuan Feng, drink some tea first to soothe your throat!"

"Hmm!" Lu Yuanfeng took the tea and started gulping it down. The fiery sensation in his mouth gradually faded, and the water that Shuangshuang handed over became incredibly sweet in his mouth.

"Sss~ Delicious, so delicious, young girl, you make me love and hate this!"

As the Fat Chef spoke, his mouth still made a hissing sound. Those who hadn’t eaten it yet all stared at the chicken in his hand.

Being stared at for so long, the Fat Chef also felt a bit apprehensive.

"Why are you all looking at me? Pick up some chopsticks and eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, each person who was once so reserved rushed forward, their chopsticks quickly grabbing food. In no time, a whole pot of spicy chicken was devoured clean.

It’s just a pity that they couldn’t eat the chilies and seasonings, otherwise, everyone would’ve swallowed those too.

"Young girl, this dish of yours is indeed not bad, but with such spicy food, I’m afraid it might cause some problems after eating it."

The Fat Chef expressed his hesitation. Just based on what he ate just now, he feared he might have a problem going to the toilet with bleeding the next morning. No matter how delicious the food is, if it causes such harm, it can’t be a long-term thing.

"That’s exactly what I wanted to say. If you make it a main dish, you don’t need to add so many dried chilies. And you can prepare a pot of gold and silver flower tea or fish mint tea. Of course, I and Fengzi can provide these."

Dried chilies paired with cooling gold and silver flower tea is indeed a perfect match!

The gold and silver flowers on Niuwei Mountain are countless in number, and Mu Shuangshuang thought that, with her family and Fengzi’s family, drinking as much as they want wouldn’t even scratch the surface of the gold and silver flowers on the mountain. Since that’s the case, why not rely on the mountain and the water for resources?

"How about this, I’ll give you five taels of silver for your recipe. As for the gold and silver flowers you provide, I know they should be easier to pick in the mountains. So, I’ll pay three coins per pound, but they must be dried flowers. How about it?"

Gold and silver flowers indeed have significant uses in ancient times. But as the Fat Chef said, they aren’t rare items in the mountains. In the market, they’re generally one coin per pound, so she’s essentially making twice the silver from the Fat Chef.

With such good conditions, how could Mu Shuangshuang refuse? She glanced at Lu Yuanfeng, seeing that he was also quite happy, she agreed immediately.

"Then thank you, Uncle! I’ll bring the gold and silver flowers next time along with the cold noodles, how about that?"

"Sure, I’ll have someone spread the word: three days from now, we’ll be having a grand dish at Jiu Si Xuan, hahaha!"

The Fat Chef laughed so hard that his eyes became slitted lines, showing how happy he was today, even giving pay raises to the staff in the kitchen.

After signing the contract, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t wait to leave Jiu Si Xuan with Lu Yuanfeng.

"Yuan Feng, we’ve got a way to make money again!"

With five taels of silver from selling the recipe in her pocket, plus the nine hundred coins from delivering cold noodles, Mu Shuangshuang felt light on her feet as she walked. The whole world seemed extraordinarily lovely in her eyes.

The crowded streets were no longer crowded, the noisy shouting was no longer bothersome. In short, everything was wonderfully incredible.

Lu Yuanfeng watched Shuangshuang, who was jumping around like a child; following behind her, he had to push the wheelbarrow and occasionally protect her from bumping into others or being bumped into.

Though it was a bit overwhelming, he thoroughly enjoyed it.

If they could stay together like this for a lifetime, it would be enough!

The two of them finally stopped at a peach vendor’s stall. Lu Yuanfeng stopped to buy two pounds of peaches and handed them to Shuangshuang.

"Take these back for Little Zhi and Xiao Han. Do you want any mountain pears? They’re probably good too."

Whenever they went out, Lu Yuanfeng would buy some snacks for Mu Shuangshuang, but he always used the excuse of giving them to Little Zhi and Xiao Han.

Mu Shuangshuang used to protest, but now she doesn’t say anything. Anyway, she’ll sort things out when she gets back and then deliver some to Fengzi’s house.

"Alright, let’s buy more and feast to our hearts’ content!"

This time, Mu Shuangshuang rushed ahead to pay, purchasing three pounds of mountain pears.

With her hands full of peaches and pears packed in a wooden bucket, Mu Shuangshuang’s smile was almost about to overflow. Suddenly, she saw a young girl wearing a pink silk dress on the street, a dress so familiar whether it was its cut or embroidery.

"Yuan Feng, we have another chance to make some money today!"

"Hmm?"

"It’s at Ah Ru’s! I just saw someone wearing clothes made from my design. Let’s hurry and take a look!"

Mu Shuangshuang grabbed Lu Yuanfeng, and he pushed the cart as the two of them rushed towards Ah Ru’s fabric shop at the fastest speed.

Just like last time, Ah Ru’s fabric shop was still quiet. As soon as Mu Shuangshuang stepped in, Ah Ru came up to greet her.

"Shuangshuang, you finally came. I’ve been waiting for you for days. Did you know? I sold two of those dresses for one tael of silver each."

Initially, Ah Ru didn’t set a price, and her clothes were bought by people who came specifically to buy them after finding the shop.

"Really? I knew it could work. Ah Ru, you’re amazing!"

"No, you’re the impressive one. Let me tell you, since those two dresses sold, people think they’re beautiful. Today, a lot more people came by to inquire. I’m planning to raise the price a bit more to see if I can sell them for two taels of silver."

"If that’s the case, that’ll be wonderful! Ah Ru, we’re going to make a fortune!"

The two young girls, who had only met once, held hands and complimented each other without any reservations. Meanwhile, their impression of each other had further increased in their hearts.
