The servants handed the potatoes to their respective young masters as if they were showing off their treasures. "Young master, you must be hungry. These 'wolf tooth potatoes' are spicy and delicious. I guarantee you will praise them after you eat them."
Most of Minghua's scholars are young and naturally cannot resist such snacks. After tasting them, they all praise the servants for their thoughtfulness.
Zhang Mingyi also noticed that his stall was unusually busy, so he went with Mo Bao to help greet customers.
Those who can enter the county school are naturally from well-off families, and a few cents are nothing to them.
There was an endless stream of new faces coming to try it out, and the queue soon formed again.
People who got the steaming potatoes were tempted by the rich aroma and couldn't wait to taste them.
The potatoes just out of the pot are hot, spicy, crispy, tender, spicy and fragrant, which makes people linger in the aftertaste.
Tan Yulin was also attracted by this inconspicuous snack, and he ordered his followers to queue up to buy it.
While waiting in the carriage, his eyes followed the slowly moving team and he unexpectedly spotted the figure of the little classmate he saw from last time.
It turned out that the stall was owned by his family, so he decided to get off the bus and try it himself instead of taking it away. He slowly walked to the potato stall and saw that his family's entourage was still three people short of their turn.
"Go buy it quickly. I want to enjoy it here."
"Yes, little one understands."
Xiao Youniang's eyes turned slightly and she glanced curiously at the young man who seemed to be from a wealthy family. From his every move, she could see his unique dandy habits.
Zhang Ming followed her gaze and suddenly realized that this person was the young man who feasted on fish at Master Liu's house that day.
"Hey, classmate, what a coincidence, is this stall yours?"
Tan Yulin bowed and saluted, with a hint of joking in his words.
When Zhang Ming saw his intimate attitude, he knew he couldn't be rude. Besides, this young man had a unique aura that made people feel pleasant. In this era, it was not easy to make a congenial friend of the same sex.
Xiao Youniang watched from the side, wondering whether Zhang Mingyi was really focused during his studies. What kind of people did he associate with? Judging from his usual behavior, he was probably slacking off in his studies. She would ask him about this when she got back.
"I love spicy food. The spicier it is, the happier I am."
Tan Yulin said frankly.
Zhang Ming brought a bowl of seasoned potatoes and responded with a smile: "Then please taste it. I also love spicy food."
Tan Yulin did not expect that this seemingly young child in front of him was not as childish as he imagined, but had his own interests and ideas.
The two of them talked and laughed as they ate, and after some interactions, they actually established a deep friendship.
As it was getting dark, Tan Yulin's attendant was worried about delaying the trip and urged him several times.
Tan Yulin looked at the last ray of sunset in the sky. Although he was reluctant, he had to stand up and said, "Brother Mingyi, I should go first."
“I look forward to your visit again. Don’t forget to visit our store in your spare time.”
After finishing the official business at hand, Fan Yunfu sent someone to drive a horse-drawn carriage to the gate of Minghua Academy.
At this time, the crowd in front of Zhang's stall had gradually thinned out. The peak period of school was over, so the number of customers naturally decreased a lot.
Fan Yunfu spotted Zhang Wuya in the crowd at a glance. He walked up to her slowly, his eyes filled with warmth and expectation. "Miss Wuya, can you give me a portion of 'wolf tooth potatoes'?"
Zhang Wuya raised her head upon hearing the voice, her eyes gently swept across the store, finally fixing on that clear figure - Fan Yunfu.
His appearance was like a spring breeze blowing across a quiet lake, stirring up layers of delicate ripples and making her heart tremble slightly involuntarily.
That sudden shyness was like a flower blooming unexpectedly in spring, making her wonder with self-mockery, was she really moved by this young and promising county magistrate?
And the little girl, in the gaps between the sparse customers, leisurely tasted the roasted potatoes in her hands and quietly observed the scene.
Ever since their first meeting at the banquet that day, she had been keenly aware of Fan Yunfu's hidden affection for her elder sister Zhang Wuya.
He is very young, and seems to be under the age of twenty. I wonder if he is already engaged? If he intends to take my sister as a concubine, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Xiao Youniang secretly thought in her heart that this matter must be made known to her family as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
An Yu, as a loyal servant of the Zhang family, keenly captured this subtle emotional change.
He suddenly felt enlightened. It turned out that the young man finally had feelings for the girl, which was really a good thing.
I was thinking to myself that I would write a letter personally when I got home to report this happy news to the lady.
"Mr. Zhang, you are so honored to be here. Please take a seat."
Zhang Laoer almost accidentally called him "Sir" when he spoke, but then he remembered that Fan Yunfu had always been low-key, so he quickly corrected himself.
Fan Yunfu sat down calmly, his eyes gentle, "Uncle Zhang, how come you are also involved in the catering industry?"
Zhang Laoer laughed, his eyes sparkling with wisdom, "Oh, who in this world can resist the temptation of wealth? Why not do one more thing to make a living?"
While the two were talking, freshly baked potatoes were served.
Fan Yunfu's actual purpose of this trip was to visit Zhang Wuya, and he had no other intention, simply because suitable opportunities to meet each other were too rare on a normal day.
At this moment, two well-dressed scholars came together and each ordered a portion of potatoes.
When you first taste it, you will find that the potato skin is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a spicy and fragrant aroma that is so memorable that you will instantly feel reluctant to give up this snack.
"Shopkeeper, can we still eat this delicacy tomorrow?"
The scholar asked curiously.
“Of course, unless it’s a rainy day, we’ll be here every day.”
Zhang Laoer felt very proud when he saw everyone praising his works.
As time passed, Fan Yunfu slowly finished a portion of potatoes. At this time, all the potatoes had been sold out and the shop assistants began to clean up the stall.
Zhang Wuya folded the tables and chairs skillfully. Seeing this, Fan Yunfu hurried forward to help. His gentle gesture seemed to convey his care in silence.
Seeing this, An Yu, who was standing by, hurried forward. With a smile on his face, he swiftly took over the task of tidying up the tables and chairs. At the same time, he whispered to Zhang Wuya, "Miss Wuya, you have been working hard for a long time today. Why don't you take a rest first? Let me take care of these small things."
His eyes were full of satisfaction with Fan Yunfu's behavior, as if confirming that his master did have unusual feelings for this girl.
A hint of barely perceptible displeasure flashed across Fan Yunfu's brows. He was determined, "If a girl can do it, why can't I? An Yu, don't worry, I'm here."
Xiao Youniang and Zhang Mingyi stood on one side, watching everything, with complex emotions revealed in their eyes.
