Chapter 430 Rich and Rich
After Tong Huaian left, Jiang Youzhen asked what happened.
"This morning, Master Tong came to call you to eat together. We knocked on the door, but you didn't respond. We thought you were tired and didn't want to disturb you, so we waited until almost noon. But later you didn't come out, so we thought you would be hungry, so we called you again, and then we found that you had a fever."
Qing Lang stepped forward to support Jiang Youzhen, but was rejected by Jiang Youzhen.
"What about the medicine? Is it from the shopkeeper?"
"Yes!" Qingyan nodded.
"A lot of people caught a cold yesterday, and the shopkeeper sold it to us because he saw that there were a lot of candidates who needed it. It's ten cents more expensive than the hospital!"
"I wanted to find a doctor to see you, but Master Tong said to give you some medicine first, since it's ready. And since you look pale and sweat a lot, I decided to boil some medicine for you."
Qingyan went there because he saw many candidates going to the shopkeeper to buy medicine.
Jiang Youzhen didn't know what to say. The most important thing was that she was a girl. If she called a doctor, her condition would be exposed. So she couldn't blame these two people.
She put on her outer coat and sat at the table. Looking at the six dishes and a bowl of steaming bird's nest porridge in front of her, she was suddenly a little dazed.
“Why are there so many dishes?”
What is this? Jiang Youzhen poked the dish in front of her with chopsticks. She couldn't tell what it was. It looked like tendons and abalone.
"It's abalone stewed with deer tendons." Qingyan said with a smile.
Jiang Youzhen was shocked. "So rich? This inn has such good things? What is this?"
She pointed to another one, but couldn't make out anything either. Like a tongue?
"That's stir-fried phoenix tongue. It's actually que tongue, known as heavenly ginseng. It's said to be extremely nutritious. There's a lot of que tongue in this small dish, which is very rare."
Jiang Youzhen was shocked again. The other two dishes were steamed sea bass and clear-boiled chicken soup, both of which she recognized.
However, the chicken soup looks light and not greasy, which makes people very appetizing.
"This perch was just caught from the river. It's very fresh."
Jiang Youzhen looked at the other two dishes, which were seasonal vegetables and a small plate of snacks.
"This snack is amazing! It's made from shark fin. Try it."
Jiang Youzhen put down her chopsticks. She was so shocked that she couldn't be more shocked. "Is this inn so amazing? How could it get so many precious ingredients?"
Qing Lang touched the back of his head and said, "The shopkeeper said that this ingredient was hard to come by and it is not available on ordinary days."
"Yes! It is said that these dishes cost nearly 150 taels of silver! When Master Tong heard that there were top-quality ingredients, he said that you were weak and needed to be well nourished."
Qingyan was also shocked. One hundred and fifty taels for a meal, Master Tong was really extravagant.
"He's treating?" Jiang Youzhen was puzzled, as the other party didn't mention it just now.
"Master Tong is such a good man!" Qing Lang nodded deeply, "And he's very generous!"
Hehe! Jiang Youzhen was a little speechless. This method of winning people over is really a set of methods! So willing to give.
"Eat your meal first, or it might get cold later." Qingyan carried the water to the bathroom.
"Then the water you fetched is cold, isn't it? You should wash up first!" Jiang Youzhen was not feeling well and didn't have much of an appetite, although these dishes looked quite tempting.
"I'll fetch a bucket of hot water later."
Jiang Youzhen didn't say anything more. She was indeed a little hungry. She originally thought she had no appetite, but after tasting it, it turned out to be extremely delicious, so she couldn't help but eat a lot.
I didn't expect that the chef of this inn has such good cooking skills. Of course, it's also because the ingredients are fresh and high-end. Even the abalone is quite fresh, as this place is not near the sea.
Jiang Youzhen pushed some of the dishes aside and only ate part of them. She couldn't finish them at all, so she could give the rest to Qinglang and the others.
It was a while after she finished her meal that she started to take a bath.
Perhaps because of the medicine, she began to feel drowsy again.
Tong Huaian returned to his room in a daze. He heard a knock on the door. It was Wen Ruyu.
"Brother Tong, I just asked Qing Lang, and she said that Junior Sister is feeling better now, but she is a little sleepy after taking the medicine, and she is sleeping again now. I didn't expect her body to be so weak, even weaker than mine!"
Wen Ruyu just went to the lobby to eat, and when she came back, Jiang Youzhen had already fallen asleep.
"Maybe she didn't lay a good foundation before. Her family was not rich, so she suffered a lot." Tong Huaian glanced at Wen Ruyu and suddenly felt something strange.
Wen Ruyu knew that Jiang Youzhen's family was just a farmer before, and they were said to be very poor. The Jiang family's good life now was entirely due to Jiang Youzhen.
"Junior brother is really amazing. Not only is he talented in studying but he is also very hardworking. Most importantly, he is also very capable in making money..."
Hearing Wen Ruyu praising Jiang Youzhen, Tong Huaian felt that he was a bit noisy for some reason.
"Xiaolang is not feeling well, so let's not disturb her today. I am also a little sleepy, Junior Brother Wen should also have a good rest."
Hearing Tong Huaian asking him to leave so bluntly, Wen Ruyu was stunned and immediately offered to leave.
Tong Huaian is a somewhat cold and arrogant person, always indifferent to other people. Even though he often smiles, he is not easy to get along with.
Wen Ruyu left Tong Huaian's room and gave a bitter smile.
Before, his senior brother treated him well, and he thought they were familiar with each other. Now that he thinks about it, the reason why others paid attention to him was probably because of Jiang Youzhen.
Tong Huai'an sat at the desk and wanted to write a letter, but after thinking for a moment, he put the pen down again.
The Fourth Prince didn't seem to be what he imagined. He couldn't trust him completely, so he had to keep a backup plan.
The next day, Jiang Youzhen woke up feeling refreshed. She stretched and was shocked by the effect of the medicine.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Xiao Lang, are you awake?" Tong Huaian's voice sounded outside the door.
"Brother Huai'an, wait a moment. I'm getting dressed and washing up."
Jiang Youzhen opened the door after she was dressed neatly. After Tong Huaian saw Jiang Youzhen, he found that she looked much better than yesterday.
"It looks like he's getting much better. The medicine is still effective."
Jiang Youzhen was surprised to find that he was holding a food box in his hand.
"You can sleep until the afternoon, you really can sleep. It's almost noon, I asked the shopkeeper to prepare some food, I don't need it, let's eat together!"
Tong Huaian put the lunch box on the table as he spoke. After opening it, Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but glance at Tong Huaian.
"Brother Huai'an is really rich. Yesterday it was bird's nest, abalone and shark's fin. What is it today? It looks like sea cucumber?"
"It's a rare opportunity for the shopkeeper to get some precious ingredients. If we don't enjoy them, wouldn't it be a shame for the money we've earned?"
He glanced at Jiang Youzhen and said, "Don't worry! I'll treat you!"
"Then I'm not welcome!"
The aroma was indeed tempting. Jiang Youzhen helped Tong Huaian set the table.
Tong Huaian saw that Jiang Youzhen was very happy about getting the advantage, and his eyes were suddenly filled with smiles.
"You must like that crab roe bun. But it's a cold food, so you should eat less."
"Ah?" Jiang Youzhen was just happy! Suddenly he felt something was wrong.
