Before Song Lin was so angry that he was about to kick Gu Yi off the carriage, the shopkeeper was quick to help him outside the carriage and accompanied him with a smile, “You must be tired from the carriage ride, hurry up and take a rest in the restaurant.”
Song Lin wanted to have the backbone to say no and turn around and go back, but if he did that, he might have lost a good opportunity to earn a lot of money.
He barely pushed down the fire burning in his chest, got off the carriage and turned around to pick up Song Wangyue as well.
Song Wangyue landed on her feet and stumbled backwards, stepping on Gu Yi’s feet, which caused him to sizzle.
The fire in Song Lin’s heart immediately disappeared and he gave Gu Yi a smug look, not bothering with him, “Lead the way.”
The shopkeeper hurriedly led the way, with Song Lin and Song Wan Yue following behind.
Gu Yi also hurriedly limped along, shouting in a resigned whisper, “Little girl.”
Song Wangyue ignored him as if she had not heard him.
Song Lin became even happier and walked with the wind.
The shopkeeper said as he walked, “The restaurant was overflowing with customers last night, all of whom came for the herbal tea, and the ones made by Miss Song were simply not enough, and some people didn’t get any. So I gave them an IOU and promised to give it to them today. So, today Miss Song has also suffered.”
The herbal tea was a big hit, the shopkeeper had expected that, but he had not expected the extent of the boom, the elegant rooms were all full, the lobby was overturned several times, and the revenue was the highest since the opening.
Today, he waited at the entrance of the restaurant early, hoping that Song Wangyue would come early and make more.
Song Lin was even happier than he was.
More people meant that the herbal tea would make money, and once the money was made, he could soon redeem the jade bracelet and never have anything to do with this brat again.
He stopped in his tracks, “Yue’er, let’s not rest, let’s get on with it.”
Song Wan Yue also meant the same thing and instructed Xiao Si, “You take the herbs I asked you to grab yesterday and grab ten more pairs back.”
Xiao Si replied and turned to go and get the herbs.
“We don’t need a small stove today, we’ll use a big stove, please ask the shopkeeper to prepare it.”
The shopkeeper begged, the more herbal tea made the better.
He quickly ordered someone to clean out the several large pots in the kitchen.
It was morning and the restaurant was not yet filled with customers, the chefs and the staff had not yet started work, so the kitchen was quiet.
After the guys had cleaned the pots, Song Wangyue had him boil water and scald them again to ensure that they were absolutely clean and that the herbal tea made would not be tainted.
When Xiao Si returned from buying herbs, Song Wan Yue told everyone to go out, leaving only Song Lin to burn the fire.
Gu Yi also went out and soon returned with a futon fan, ready to fan Song Wan Yue.
Song Lin shooed him away, “Why did you come in again? Get out!”
“I’m not going out, I want to fan the little girl.”
Although there was a place to run the wind in the kitchen, it was after all a summer’s day, and even if one didn’t work, one could still sweat just standing in there, not to mention burning the fire, which was fine with him, but Yue’er had never suffered from this.
With Song Lin, Song Wan Yue no longer had to burn the fire, she just poured the herbs into the pot, added water, covered the pot, waited for Song Lin to boil the water, and then let him use a low flame.
Gu Yi stood by Song Wan Yue’s side the whole time, fanning her, not caring that his own clothes were sweating.
Song Lin inexplicably looked at him more favourably.
When the two pots were done, Gu Yi called the shopkeeper in and led Song Lin and Song Wan Yue to his house.
As soon as they entered the door, a refreshing coolness greeted them, and even Song Lin couldn’t help but take a few more breaths.
Gu Yi sat down on a chair and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his head and face.
To be honest, Song Lin was a bit squeamish when he saw the furnishings, tables and chairs in the house.
He knew that every table and chair, every tea and pot in the house was worth a lot of money, and he was a bit afraid to touch them, but if he showed his fear in front of Gu Yi, wouldn’t he be laughed at?
Song Lin came to the table and sat down with a calm demeanour, his body straight and taut, leaning slightly outwards, his legs far away from the table, and his hands not daring to rest on the tabletop.
Song Wan Yue could see clearly and sat on the chair beside him, smoothly brought over three tealights, picked up the teapot, filled them one by one and handed one of them to Song Lin, “Father, have some tea.”
Since Gu Yi had been scalded last time, the shopkeeper didn’t dare to make boiling hot tea anymore, and what was brought into the house now was just the right temperature.
Song Lin stiffened his hand and took it, drained it in one gulp, and gently put the tea jar back on the table.
Gu Yi saw this and thought he was thirsty, so he picked up the teapot and poured him a cup as well.
Song Lin looked at him and drained it again.
Gu Yi poured another cup, Song Lin drank again, Gu Yi poured again ……
Five or six cups in a row, the teapot was empty, Song Lin’s stomach was distended, he moved his stiff body, opened his mouth to say something, but Gu Yi opened his mouth before him, “Xiao Si, make two more pots of tea, uncle is thirsty.”
Song Lin, who wanted to go to the toilet,……
hands into fists, this brat must have done it on purpose! Deliberately to make a fool of him.
I’m not going to give in to his wishes. I stood up without changing my face, “Where’s the toilet? I’ll go there.”
Gu Yi hurriedly and solicitously said, “I’ll lead uncle over.”
“No need, just tell me where it is.”
“Go out and turn left, walk to the end.”
Song Lin limped outside, one foot had just stepped out of the room when he heard Gu Yi behind him whisper to Song Wan Yue, “Uncle’s body is really weak, just burning the fire for such a short while, but he drank a pot of tea, look at me, I’ve been in the kitchen for so long too, I’ve only had one cup.”
Song Lin, whose other foot had also been lifted,……
It was tempting to drop his foot back and turn around to go back and argue with him.
He just drank two more glasses of water, what does it matter if his body is weak or not?
He put his foot down in anger and went to the toilet with “fast” steps, thinking to settle the score quickly before coming back to settle the score with Gu Yi.
Inside the house, Song Wangyue looked at Gu Yi with a smile on her face.
Gu Yi blinked his big beautiful eyes and blinked again, “Little girl, why are you looking at me like that?”
“With my father following, my family only agrees for me to come to the restaurant every day. ”
Gu Yi stopped blinking and vainly lowered his head to drink water, a small sip until he heard Song Lin’s footsteps, he put the cup down on the table with a thud and urged Song Wan Yue as he walked towards the desk, “Little girl, I’ll lay out paper for you to grind, come over and practice your writing.”
Song Wangyue, ……
