One touch and one silence

"Master, you can't say that. Cows are used for plowing the land. Killing cows will lead to jail time."

Shuyue looked at the people around her cautiously, hoping that no one else heard her.

"Forehead!"

Nanzhi looked at the passers-by around her, who were looking at her with strange eyes. She slapped her forehead in annoyance with the hand holding the folding fan.

"I'm sorry, I was a little confused because of my illness some time ago, so I didn't say anything. Your master, I was talking about mutton, mutton."

Nanzhi looked at the people around him awkwardly and explained hesitantly.

Shuhua Shuyue then looked at Nanzhi with relief, "Mutton, it should be sold in front. The master wants to eat mutton, let's buy some more later."

Shuyue said happily, and Shuhua nodded in agreement.

Only Liu Yue and Doctor Xu knew that what the master was talking about was really beef!

Nanzhi lowered her head in embarrassment and walked away, feeling a little annoyed. Damn it, cows were considered very important in ancient times, how could she have forgotten this?

At noon, the group was tired from shopping and Nanzhi was a little hungry, so they walked to a restaurant and went straight in.

"We haven't been to a restaurant to eat yet, let's have a good meal today."

Nanzhi said happily, without noticing the expression of the person behind her.

Shuhua and Shuyue's eyes were red and tears were visible, and they both wiped their eyes with handkerchiefs.

Imperial Doctor Xu looked at the Seventh Prince who was walking in front with a look of pity. Alas, a meal could make him so happy. It seemed that he had not had a satisfactory life these years.

Doctor Xu secretly swore in his heart that he would find an antidote to detoxify the Seventh Prince.

Liu Yue stared at Nanzhi's back, not knowing what she was thinking. Her fingers stroked the long sword she carried with her.

"Dear guests, please come in!"

The waiter looked at them and greeted them warmly.

"Brother Xiaoer, is there a private room?" Shuhua stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, yes, yes! Please come upstairs!" After saying that, he invited Nanzhi and others to go upstairs with a gesture of invitation.

"From here you can see the lively market downstairs. Can you please see if this is possible?"

Nanzhi nodded and walked in.

"Put up all the signs in your store!"

Nanzhi said proudly, and the waiter happily responded, "Okay, wait a moment, sir."

Nanzhi saw that except for her, everyone else was still standing.

She stared at them in confusion, "What are you doing? Sit down now?"

"Master, it is not appropriate for a maid to eat at the same table with the master." Shuhua knew that Doctor Xu and Lord Liuyue had the same reason, so she explained it in advance.

"Oh! So you think the chairs are too hot for your butts!"

After saying that, he picked up his sleeves and quickly wiped them on each chair.

Before anyone could speak to stop him, Nanzhi sat back in his seat.

"Oh my god, I am so exhausted!"

"You can sit down now!"

Nanzhi's outrageous actions left Liu Yue and others dumbfounded. Liu Yue had seen all kinds of things, but this was the first time she had seen such a weirdo as the Seventh Prince.

Seeing Nanzhi looking at her seriously, Liu Yue simply followed her wishes and sat down.

Doctor Xu also found a nearby seat and sat down, and Nanzhi's eyes were fixed on the calligraphy, painting and moon.

Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Shuhua and Shuyue slowly sat down, and Nanzhi nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Master!"

Shuhua and Shuyue thanked him in unison. Nanzhi smiled and said, "There's no need to be so particular when you're out and about. Since there are no outsiders here, let's just eat together. It's more fun when there are more people."

"Right! Doctor Xu, Master Liu Yue!"

Doctor Xu bowed respectfully and agreed, "Your Highness is right!"

Liu Yue still nodded with a grim expression, thinking, if there is something wrong, it’s Sister Liu Yue, it’s okay, Master Liu Yue, ha!

After half a cup of tea, the waiter started serving the dishes one after another.

Nanzhi looked at the dishes brought up by the waiter: Dongpo pork elbow, braised carp, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, boiled river shrimp, fish ball soup, and fresh bamboo shoots and crow soup.

The smell made Nanzhi's mouth water. He couldn't help but picked up a river shrimp.

The real river shrimp in the previous life tasted extremely delicious. It was different from prawns and farmed river shrimp. If you wanted to eat wild ones, they were only available in ancient times.

Nanzhi took a bite without adding vinegar. It tasted sweet and refreshing without any fishy smell.

Nanzhi quickly called out to the people around him: "This river shrimp tastes amazing, come and try it."

Doctor Xu and others also picked one up, tasted it, and felt that there was no difference. Looking at Nanzhi's expectant eyes, they nodded in agreement.

I felt even more pity for the Seventh Prince. A small dish of river shrimp was so delicious that he looked so happy and actively shared it with them. I felt a little distressed.

Whenever I have the chance, I will say a few good words for the Seventh Prince in front of His Majesty.

In Liu Yue's mouth, delicious food is just food to fill her stomach. To her, it is no different.

"This young master has a really good mouth. This was delivered early in the morning by someone. It was alive and kicking when it was put into the pot."

"And this carp, our boss just bought it from the market this morning, it was freshly killed and cooked. And these fish balls, our chef also made them this morning with fresh bighead carp and silver carp bodies, they were all freshly killed."

"So that's how it is, it tastes good!" Nanzhi nodded, expressing her satisfaction.

Being recognized by the customer, the waiter went back to work with a smile on his face.

Nanzhi was happy to try this and that, but to be honest, the only dish that was not very good was the stir-fried seasonal vegetables. Although it was called stir-fried, it was actually boiled.

Shuhua ate in small bites while paying attention to which dish her master's chopsticks reached for the most. She secretly took note of it in her mind.

Nanzhi looked at Doctor Xu who seemed to have no appetite and suddenly remembered that she didn't order any wine!

How can you invite people to dinner without ordering wine?

When the waiter came to serve the dishes, Nanzhi ordered, "Bring two jugs of the best wine in your store, and you can also bring a jug of wine for women."

As soon as Nanzhi finished speaking, Doctor Xu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Your Highness is really thoughtful. I always feel that there is something missing from the delicious food, and it is not tasty. Your Highness has thought of it."

"The one who understands me best is Your Highness!" The master was considerate and thoughtful, which made Doctor Xu speak well of him.

Nanzhi greeted with a smile: "Dr. Xu has worked hard during this period. Come and try this old duck soup. It tastes good."

"Master Liu Yue, come and have a taste too," he said, picking up the bowl and scooping a bowl of soup for Doctor Xu Liu Yue.

"Your Highness is too polite. I will do it myself. I will do it myself!"

Doctor Xu was happy to be respected by His Highness.

Liu Yue's stern expression gradually eased a little.

"Come on, Shuhua and Shuyue, come and have a taste. You have worked hard following me, your master, over the years!"

Nanzhi scooped a bowl of soup for both of them.

Shuhua and Shuyue's eyes instantly turned red. "Your Highness, you are joking. This is what I should do. We are lucky to have a master like you."

Shuhua Shuyue’s words are true.
