"Hey, mom, go ahead. Your son is here, don't worry."

Yan Xia walked to the shop and gave instructions to Jin Fu.

Jin Fu promised but didn't even raise his head. It turned out that he was packing peach cakes in his hands. There were more than a dozen customers queuing in front of him. The second floor was almost full, so he gave the money to the guests on the second floor. Ordering.

Now is the busiest time of the day.

Seeing this, Yan Xia was about to leave, but a regular customer stood in front of her and stopped her.

"Shopkeeper Yan, are you looking for Wen Po? Let me introduce it to you. There are seven or eight pharmacies in my home, and Dr. Wen Po knows a lot of them."

The speaker was Su Anjiang, a regular customer who often visited her restaurant and pastry shop. She had a bold personality. Every time Yan Xia helped in front of the shop, she would chat with him and call him Brother Su affectionately.

"Really? Thank you Brother Su. I wonder when you will be free. Let's make a date to go to your shop to make a selection?"

Yan Xia's eyebrows were filled with joy.

Her eyes were as gentle as water, as clear as the sky, but still unclear. Su Anjiang was lost in thought. He was stunned for a moment, and was awakened by the sound of the customer ordering, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"I just finished buying flower cakes and am about to go back. In that case, you can just go back to the shop with me now, and I will arrange for someone to choose for you right away."

Yan Xia was eager to choose as soon as possible. He thanked him again and followed Su Anjiang to the drug store on the street.

"Shopkeeper Yan, please come in quickly."

After arriving at the drug store, Su Anjiang was very enthusiastic. He spread out his right arm and pointed his fingertips towards the store, signaling Yan Xia to come in first, for fear of neglecting her.

Yan Xia nodded to him with a smile and stepped into the threshold.

As soon as I entered the shop, I could smell the smell of Chinese medicinal materials on the tip of my nose. It was not as unpleasant as the smell of disinfectant in modern hospitals. The smell of the medicine shop was addictive. The top note exuded a woody sandalwood scent, and the middle note was like baking. Dry cedar, followed by wet moss at the end, the flavor is complex but not messy, blending together, very unique.

It felt like she was in the forest in the early morning, or like she had just woken up in a temple. It was really reassuring. Yan Xia took a deep breath, and the satisfaction coming from her brain made her narrow her eyes unconsciously.

Su Anjiang on the side glanced at her side face vaguely, pretending to be normal, but in fact his heart was pounding.

He is thirty-five this year. His wife died of an illness ten years ago. He refused to remarry for the sake of his two children. He thought he would be lonely for the rest of his life, but unexpectedly, he went to Yan's Pastry Shop for the first time and bought something for his eldest grandson. When she was eating flower cakes, she fell in love with Yan Xia at first glance.

Seeing that she was raising four children by herself, raising a large family, and being bullied by her husband's family. She straightened her back to the magistrate and was bound to seek justice. It made people feel sad and admired. She was obviously also a weak woman. Humans are not.

Shopkeeper Yan was born gentle and bright. Although the child was so big, he looked like a little girl. There was no makeup on his face but his skin was as porcelain. His smile touched his heartstrings like a fairy in the sky.

Since then, Su Anyang went to the pastry shop to buy pastries almost every day.

His eldest grandson was fed up with it.

However, Su Anjiang used the excuse that his eldest grandson loved to eat and bought again and again.

It caused a headache for the whole family.

The eldest grandson ran away when he saw him.

Yan Xia calmed down, raised his head, and observed the inside of the shop.

I saw a plaque hanging above the counter with three large gilded characters written on it.

【Suantang】

"Brother Su, your shop is quite big. It seems that the business is doing well. I admire Su Antang as your property."

Yan Xia didn't know the details of Su Anjiang. She only knew that he was a wealthy family and was not short of money, otherwise he wouldn't come to the shop to buy cakes every day.

The pastries in her shop are so expensive.

Those who can afford it every day are either rich or expensive.

Suantang is the largest drug store in Shuangqiao Town. I heard it is a chain store.

No wonder Brother Su said he had seven or eight drug stores.

In ancient and modern times, the most profitable industry was medicine.

After all, ancient people got sick too.

Yan Xia complimented him, which made Su Anjiang feel a little embarrassed.

"As for Shopkeeper Yan, the medicine shop I have is not as good as Shopkeeper Yan's daily income. Let's not talk about this. You go to the backyard to sit and drink tea. I will ask someone to arrange a stable woman for you. Do you have any requirements? You tell me first."

Su Anjiang's ears turned red. If it weren't for the traces of time on his face, others would have thought he was a young man in love.

"Well... let's find someone who knows the ins and outs. They are clean, steady and don't talk much. They must have experience. This way, you can use it with more confidence."

Yan Xia didn't invite Wen Po either, so she could only give a rough idea.

"Okay, I understand, Fugui, take shopkeeper Yan to the backyard to sit and have a rest, and then make shopkeeper Yan a new pot of tea. Let's take it as Yishan Canglan."

"Yes, Master, Shopkeeper Yan, please come in."

The drug store clerk whose name was called took Yan Xia to the backyard.

Su Anjiang made arrangements in a hurry.

The backyard of the medicine shop is open-air. There is a courtyard pavilion with a wooden table and four wooden benches carved with different flower patterns. There is also an artificial pond next to the pavilion with yellow and white carp in it. .

It looks weirdly big, and I don’t know if it tastes good or not.

Yan Xia thought to herself.

While she was admiring the scenery in the backyard, Fugui had already arrived with a pot of tea.

"Shopkeeper Yan, have some tea."

Fugui placed a kettle on the table and took down two pumpkin-shaped teacups.

One was placed in front of Yan Xia, and the other was placed opposite, probably for Brother Su to drink.

When the tea soup was poured into the cup, it was light green in color. Yan Xia picked up the tea cup and put it to the tip of her nose. The aroma hit her, it was rich and sweet, and she could also smell a slight orchid smell.

The cup was a little hot, so Yan Xia blew it twice and took a sip.

The tea is silky smooth, slightly bitter in the mouth but acceptable. Two seconds after swallowing, there is a sweet taste in your mouth.

Really amazing.

She had never heard of this kind of tea, and the one she drank most at home was Biluochun.

When Yan Xia was about to ask Fugui, Su Anjiang came in with four women.

"Shopkeeper Yan, how do you like this tea?"

His voice was hearty and generous, and every time he spoke, there was an echo in the backyard.

Yan Xia quickly stood up.

"The tea is very good, but I have never heard of it. What kind of tea is this?"

Just now she seemed to hear Brother Su saying his name was Canglan.

Su Anjiang strode into the pavilion and sat down facing Yan Xia.

"Sit down, shopkeeper Yan. You don't have to be so polite. This tea is called Canglan. It comes from Yishan in Huaiyi County. This tea is only available in winter and is grown deep in the mountains, so it is difficult to pick. One pot alone is worth several hundred taels." , I only got such a small pot, and I can’t bear to drink it on weekdays, haha.”

He is honest.

When Yan Xia heard that the tea was so expensive, he quickly drank the tea in the cup and then poured another cup.
