It's not easy to stay here for a long time. Last time I went to a medicine shop, I almost got slapped in the face, especially by that damn young lady. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." The maid's behavior was largely due to the young lady.

Ah Fu reacted immediately and hurriedly took out the silver and money he had prepared in advance from his pocket. He looked at the weight, counted the amount of money and handed it to Xu Yuan.

"Miss Xu, please count the money this time to see if it's enough."

Xu Yuan saw Ah Fu counting the numbers himself, so there was no need to count them again right under his nose. "No problem, I trust Manager Hu's judgment, I'll leave first."

Without saying anything more, Xu Yuan turned around and left.

Ah Fu was very puzzled when he saw Xu Yuan leaving in a hurry, as if there was a ghost chasing him, leaving only his back, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Maybe things at home are very important.

"Grandma, what's wrong? Do you need your grandson's help?"

At this moment, Manager Gao walked towards the kitchen with a very bad face, and even his steps were filled with a hint of anger.

"I'm really convinced. This really pissed me off so early in the morning."

"Hurry up and pack it in the lunch box for me. I'm waiting outside."

"Okay, okay, shopkeeper, calm down. I'll go in and talk to grandma." Ah Fu probably knew what the shopkeeper was angry about. Alas, the customer is God.

Hu Zhanggui let out a long breath. It was really thrilling just now.

"cough cough"

Fan Tianwei, who was sitting at the table in the box, suddenly started coughing violently. Her expression was extremely painful, as if she was going to cough out her lungs.

"Miss, Miss, are you okay?" Lan Xiang quickly patted Fan Tianwei's back, took out a pill from Fan Tianwei's waist, and stuffed it into Fan Tianwei's mouth.

Seeing this, Hu Zhanggui quickly poured a cup of hot water from the table behind him and put it on the table. "Ms. Fan, this is hot water. Drink it to relieve your throat."

Fan Tian paused for a moment, picked up the water on the table and drank it, but was instantly choked and spat a mouthful of blood into the cup.

Lanxiang quickly took a small handkerchief and wiped Fan Tianwei's lips. Her pale lips instantly turned red. She patted her back with heartache.

"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Hu. I'm not feeling well today, so I can't enjoy such a nice private room today. Please pack up the dishes with sprouts and send them to your house."

"I'm sorry, Miss Fan, Fu Man Lou doesn't provide this kind of service. Why don't you come back next time? We will reserve it for you."

Hu Zhanggui didn't dare to make a decision on his own, after all, this was the boss's rule. Fu Man Lou also allowed takeout before, but some people were jealous of Fu Man Lou's good business, and Fu Man Lou also took good care of safety and hygiene issues in all aspects, so those who wanted to take advantage of it had no way to start.

Those people did not give up and targeted the food taken out from Fumanlou. Later, they succeeded and caused a loss of life. Fumanlou was almost on the verge of closing down during that period. Thanks to the impartiality of the former prefect, it was able to restore some of its reputation and pay some compensation. The owner was afraid of repeating the same mistake again, so Fumanlou stopped providing take-out services from then on.

Although many people are dissatisfied, the prices at Fu Man Lou are very affordable, and the ingredients and dishes are very thoughtful, with no shortage of weight, so it attracts many people as usual.

"Manager Hu, I know that Fu Man Lou cannot take out food, but your boss is very grateful to my father. I will definitely agree to it if I ask your boss. Is it possible that my father is not here, and as his daughter, I can't make an exception for this small request?"

"Is it okay, Shopkeeper Hu? I hope I can taste it when I return home."

Fan Tian spoke slowly in a weak voice, stood up with difficulty, took a few steps, then paused, turned around and looked at the shopkeeper Hu who was bowing his head.

"I'd like to thank Shopkeeper Hu first. Sorry for disturbing you."

"Lanxiang, help me go back."

"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me. We will arrange it as soon as possible. Miss Fan, please come to Fu Manlou next time after you have recovered. Come, please come this way." Hu Zhanggui secretly complained in his heart, but he still looked kind and accommodating.

My guess was right. Miss Fan's body is getting weaker and weaker. She doesn't take good rest. She is making a fuss so early in the morning. The temperature is still a little cold in the morning.

Watching the master and servant slowly leave, Hu Zhanggui changed his expression and hurried to the kitchen.

"What, shopkeeper, are you really going to make an exception?" Ah Fu was listening to Shopkeeper Hu explaining the whole story and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"I'll deliver it myself, so how could there be any problem? Miss Fan's family is very wealthy, so there's no need for her to go against Fu Man Lou. We have no grudge against it."

"Go and help. Just make two or three dishes. I have to go there quickly. It will take some time to get there." Hu Zhanggui pushed Ah Fu into the kitchen to help. The two chefs had not come to work yet, and it was too late to call for help.

Fortunately, Aunt Fu had been in the kitchen for a long time and had learned some skills.

······

"Miss, the wind is a bit tight these days. Can you still hold on?" Lan Xiang asked softly as she sat next to Fan Tianwei in the carriage.

"Nothing, this one is destroyed, there are other places, go contact that person and get some as soon as possible." The voice was steady and powerful, with a little hoarseness. "And didn't the Taoist priest say that eating some rare things would make the body's illness better? This sprout is one of them. I've never heard of it, so I might as well try it."

At this moment, Fan Tianwei did not look weak at all, and her red lips were raised in a wicked way.

Feeling a little annoyed, he lifted the curtain and looked at the scene on the roadside. Suddenly, he stared in one direction with a gloomy look and saw two small familiar figures.

"Lanxiang, check if that big guy is him."

Damn it! The place I built with great difficulty was destroyed overnight. It was so unlucky that I even saw those two damn figures.

Lan Xiang followed her young lady's gaze and looked over, with a puzzled look on her face, "Young lady, did you make a mistake? They don't look like those two kids."

"Really?" Fan Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to see more carefully.

"Oh, miss, don't worry. Children have short memories and will definitely not remember it."

"Besides, no one would believe what a child says."

"I'm still worried. You go check it out, just in case." Fan Tianwei didn't want to leave any traces for others to catch, so she was always cautious in doing things.

The carriage hurried along all the way and finally stopped in front of the Fan Mansion. Lanxiang was about to help her young lady get off the carriage when she heard a noise from behind.

Hu Zhanggui rode as fast as he could and luckily caught up.

He quickly got off the carriage and handed the package to Lanxiang.

Lanxiang weighed the package in her hand and gave the silver to Manager Hu.

"Thank you, Miss Fan. Please enjoy your meal."

Hu Zhanggui saw that the man nodded and said nothing more, so he lowered his head and prepared to leave, "Wait, Manager Hu, you have to send some sprouts to the mansion this week, and you won't be short of money."

What could Hu Zhanggui say? He certainly couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and agree.
