The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 523 Exercise before bed

The lady boss was busy as she brought a pot of the shop's specialty barley tea and greeted the two with a smile, "What would you like, sirs?"

Fan Jin asked Shi Liu to keep an eye on it, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Shi Liu quickly ordered several dishes.

Soon, two bowls of fragrant eel noodles were served on the table, along with a few side dishes, roast goose, pickled bamboo shoots, and fried bean sprouts - roast goose is also the specialty of this old brand. I heard that they can only make a few every day, and each table can only order one dish. It cannot be ordered individually, and it is not available for take-out. If you want to eat more, you have to come every day. Even if you pay more, the boss of this restaurant will not break the rules.

There were only a few pieces on a plate, shiny and emitting a unique aroma. Pomegranate couldn't help but open his index finger and picked up a piece to eat first.

While eating, he sighed, "I've eaten here several times, and every time I eat it, it still tastes fresh. The roast goose made here is really amazing. The roast goose made elsewhere is better than this one. The skin is crispy on the outside and the meat is tender and juicy on the inside, dry and fragrant but not greasy."

It was Fan Jin's first time coming back, and seeing the pomegranate in this state, he was curious, so he quickly picked up a piece to taste. As soon as he put it in his mouth, he couldn't help but be surprised. He had eaten a lot of roast goose in his previous life, but this roast goose was truly unique.

“It’s really delicious!”

"His cooking skills are so good, why doesn't he just make roast goose to sell? Or make more every day?" Fan Jin was very curious. Who wouldn't want to make money?

Shi Liu smiled and said, "I was also curious about this when I first came to eat here. Later I found out that the boss's skill in making roast goose is inherited from his ancestors. It is passed down to sons, not daughters, and certainly not to outsiders. Unfortunately, the boss has only two daughters and no sons. It takes a lot of effort to make roast goose, and he can only make a few a day. He is also very particular about it. If he makes too much, it won't taste as good, so he would rather sell less than too much."

"Passed down to males but not females? Then wouldn't this craft be lost?" Fan Jin felt it was a pity as he thought about it.

"Not really." Shi Liu shook her head. "I heard that the boss married his youngest daughter and she has two grandchildren. When the grandchildren grow up, they will inherit the craft."

Fan Jin didn't know how to comment, "What if it's a granddaughter? Can't he marry into the family? So, this rule of passing the inheritance to sons but not daughters has trapped so many people. Since ancient times, many secret recipes of crafts may have been lost in this way."

Shi Liu also agreed with this, but they had no say in such matters and could only sigh.

"This eel noodles is also very delicious, try it while it's hot."

"it is good."

After eating a bowl of hot and delicious eel noodles, my whole body feels warm.

After they finished eating and paid the bill, they came out. Hu Zhen and others next door were still eating. Shi Liu didn't rush them and pointed to the night market street along the river around the corner, "Let's go for a stroll."

Fan Jin was eager to stay with Shi Liu for a while longer, "Okay."

However, when Hu Zhen and the others inside saw that their master had finished eating, they all quickened their pace and did not give the two men a chance to stroll around for long, and they caught up with them.

At that time, the two of them walked along the river bank for less than a quarter of an hour and did not say much.

It was Fan Jin who asked Shi Liu whether she liked the gift from yesterday.

Shi Liu thought about opening the box last night. Inside was a box of rouge from the best rouge shop in the city. It was funny. No matter what era, boys would always buy jewelry and cosmetics as gifts for girls.

No girl would dislike these, and you can never go wrong buying them.

When Hu Zhen and the others caught up, the wind by the river had become colder. They had been riding in the car for the whole afternoon and were tired. So they naturally went back home to rest early, as they had to go to the temple fair early the next morning, which would inevitably require some tiring walking.

Where to go? There is another lawsuit. Fan Jin looked at Shi Liu calmly and said, "My house in Si Tiao Hutong has been given to you as a betrothal gift. There is no one to guard it. It is definitely too dusty to live in for a while. It will be troublesome to clean it up in the middle of the night. Maybe I should stay in an inn? I will go back to Yuqian Hutong with you first, and then find an inn to stay in."

Shi Liu glanced at him with a smile, "How convenient is it to stay in an inn? Why don't you stay in my house? I can give you a room."

Fan Jin laughed immediately, but tried to remain calm, "Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

Shi Liu joked, "Since you think it's troublesome, why don't you stay at the inn?"

Fan Jin was dumbfounded. He realized that Shi Liu was joking, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly said, "Given our relationship, I won't be polite with you. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to learn some fitness exercises before going to bed? Perfect, I'll teach you later."

Exercise before bed?

Sui Lu, who was standing next to Shi Liu, didn't know what she was thinking of. Her face suddenly turned red and she quickly lowered her head.

Shi Liu saw it clearly and couldn't help but glare at Fan Jin. What bedtime exercises? Who asked you to teach me at night?

Fan Jin was confused by the glare, and his ears turned slightly red as he thought of something. He didn't mean anything else, he was really just teaching them how to do exercises before bedtime, but when Shi Liu glared at him like that, he couldn't help but think more about it.

But he also knew that it was impossible. He and Shi Liu were only pretending to be related. They were not even in a romantic relationship. Shi Liu did not like him. Even if he wanted to do something, it was just a thought.

Alas, the night is long, and being able to live under the same roof with Shi Liu and be closer to Shi Liu is enough to make him happy enough to wake up with laughter in his dreams.

When they arrived at the house in Yuqian Hutong, Shi Liu naturally didn't want Fan Jin to teach her any exercises before going to bed. She just washed up and went to bed early.

When she went out to the toilet, she saw Bafang waiting in the corridor. He grinned at her when he saw her.

Shi Liu burst out laughing, "Banfang, please don't laugh like that again in the future."

Bafang was confused, "Huh?"

Shi Liu couldn't help laughing. In her two lifetimes, she only knew Ba Fang, the only person who could laugh so hard that his gums showed. It was so funny.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Bafang couldn't understand why the pomegranate girl was smiling so happily, but he quickly got down to business.

She handed over a purse and said, "Miss Pomegranate, my little sister didn't serve you well yesterday and spilled soup all over you. I'm really sorry. I've already told her off and she knows she was wrong. This is a purse she made overnight, specially for you, Miss Pomegranate. I hope you won't take it personally. When we see you again, she'll apologize to you in person."

Shi Liu looked at the exquisitely embroidered purse, and then at Ba Fang's sincere and honest face. She smiled and said, "It was just a carelessness. Why is it so serious?"

Bafang hurriedly said, "Of course, of course, please accept it, Miss Shi Liu, and be tolerant. Don't be angry with her. It will be a blessing for her to embroider a purse for the future young lady! I also have selfish motives. My sister is old enough, and when the young lady comes home, I hope she can find a good marriage for her!"

Shi Liu raised her eyebrows slightly. This Ba Fang is really good at handling things. He is a wonderful person.

She reached out and took the purse. "It's very well embroidered."

Bafang smiled eagerly, "Miss, if you like it, I'll ask Qiutong to embroider more for you later so that you can use different patterns."
