You know that Ran He is our friend. If the quality is not good, you will lose face in front of your friends, which is not acceptable."

Hearing this, Zhu Cuihua cast a look of approval. Usually Dayong always liked to tell some crude jokes, but tonight his words seemed particularly caring and soothing.

"Well, since we have already had dinner, why don't we send the table and chairs over now so that Ran He can use the new furniture sooner."

Zhu Cuihua suggested, and an idea came to her mind - Ran He was quite knowledgeable about cooking, so perhaps she could take this opportunity to learn from her and improve her cooking skills.

Dayong thought this was a good idea, and he still had to settle the balance with Ran He, so he readily agreed. The two of them moved the carefully crafted tables and chairs to Ran He's house, one in front and one behind.

Arriving at the destination, Zhu Cuihua found that Ran He's door was closed. Without thinking, she went forward and knocked on the door. Inside the house, Ran He was busy mixing herbs and preparing to try new medicinal food. The sudden knock on the door stopped her thoughts.

"who is that?"

Ran He asked as he opened the door, only to see Zhu Cuihua outside with a smile on her face, followed by a table and chairs.

Facing this sudden visit in the dead of night, Ran He smiled helplessly: "This matter can be solved during the day, why bother you to come here in the middle of the night?"

"It's okay. Look at your old tables and chairs. It's time to replace them. Besides, I want to talk to you quietly about something."

Zhu Cuihua lowered her voice, her expression mysterious, causing Ran He to suddenly feel curious and nervous.

"what's up?"

Ran He's heart skipped a beat, fearing that something unexpected had happened. Unexpectedly, Zhu Cuihua's next words made her laugh and cry.

"I tried making the crayfish you had here today, but the taste was far from the same. Did you hide some secret recipe or use some special seasoning?"

Zhu Cuihua's face was full of curiosity and anticipation, like a child eager to solve a puzzle.

It turns out that all this tediousness and hassle is just to uncover the legendary secret recipe of the mouth-watering crayfish. Ran He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this persistence and enthusiasm were really well-intentioned to the extreme.

Ran He pondered silently in his heart that the seasonings that made up the unique flavor were not easily available on the market. For example, even if the recipe of special beer was told, it would be difficult for outsiders to replicate its essence.

But looking at Zhu Cuihua's eyes full of desire and sincerity, Ran He finally softened his heart and decided to take a compromise: "I still have some remaining seasoning packets here, you can use them for emergency use first. If you really want to learn the essence of mixing, I will teach you step by step when I have free time."

At this moment, Ran He is very busy. He travels through the mountains and forests during the day to collect precious herbs, and when night falls, he devotes himself to studying medicinal food. Every moment is filled with tension and busyness.

She knew very well that if this research was successful, it would not only bring health benefits to countless people, but would also be a major breakthrough and leap in her cooking skills.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your convenience and study hard."

When Zhu Cuihua heard this, a bright smile broke out on her face and she agreed without hesitation.

Ran He found an excuse to go into the kitchen, but in fact she quietly entered her own secret little world, where she used her accumulated points to exchange for several packets of rare crayfish seasoning. She carefully told Zhu Cuihua that she only needed to add one packet each time cooking to make the crayfish flavor even better.

Zhu Cuihua took the seasonings and put them away carefully, fearing that they would be damaged. Then, she couldn't wait to pull Dayong up and prepare to leave, but Ran He hurriedly called her: "Hey, you two, the balance hasn't been paid to you yet, remember to take the three taels of silver."

Dayong did not refuse. He knew that if people who make a living by their cooking skills casually waive the bill out of personal friendship, the life of the whole family will become difficult.

Zhu Cuihua's mind was as clear as a mirror. She knew clearly that Ran He clearly distinguished between public and private affairs. Helping to make tables and chairs was purely a business matter, which was different from the friendship between the two and should not be confused.

At this time, Ran He's eyes swept across the shabby wooden bed in the room, and a plan suddenly came to his mind: "By the way, does your Dayong know how to make a bed? I think this bed should be discarded. It's better to just replace it with a new one to save the trouble of repairing it."

Zhu Cuihua replied proudly: "Of course, as long as it is carpentry work, there is nothing that Dayong can't do. His craftsmanship is one of the best in this area."

So Ran He said straightforwardly: "Then please help me build another bed. Pay two taels of silver as a deposit first, and pay the balance after the work is completed."

The reason why Ran He was so straightforward was that she had witnessed Dayong's craftsmanship with her own eyes and had deep trust in the quality of his work, so she decided to continue the cooperation.

If it were those craftsmen who did their job perfunctorily, no matter how good her relationship with Zhu Cuihua was, she would never give them a second chance to cooperate.

"Okay, I'll make this bed for you as soon as possible, and then we'll go home."

Dayong was so happy after receiving these two orders in succession that he could not express it in words. Such income would have been enough to keep him busy for a whole year in the past.

Zhu Cuihua was also very happy. She chatted with Dayong along the way, saying that they would do their best to help Ran He in the future. Look how generous he is. He not only taught her cooking secrets but also gave her job opportunities. Not everyone can get such treatment.

"Mother always warns me not to deal with troublemakers like Ran He, but I think her thinking is too narrow. When you go back, you have to help me convince mother, don't let her words make others misunderstand our family, do you understand what I mean?"

As Zhu Cuihua spoke, she pretended to reach out and twist Dayong's ears, but he nimbly avoided it. The two smiled at each other, filled with warmth and tacit understanding.

Dayong's lips curled up into a helpless but gentle smile, his voice was filled with unquestionable firmness, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Don't worry, I will explain it to mother. Don't worry too much, although mother is more conservative in her thinking, she has no bad intentions in her heart, but she still lacks some understanding of Ran He. Time will slowly narrow the distance between us, and everything will be fine."

When Zhu Cuihua heard this, the worries in her heart seemed to be blown away by a warm spring breeze. As long as Dayong could understand and support her, that would be the best comfort.

After the two of them left, Ran He stayed alone in the quiet house, continuing her busy and focused work of preparing medicinal food. Today, she was determined to complete the first recipe attempt of the medicinal food. If successful, she would be able to bring a touch of warm hope to Mo Changfeng when she went to the town tomorrow.
