“Not offended spouse”

Cheng Yun introduced Cheng Baoe’r into the lounge. Throughout this time period, he would recall the recollections of his unique self. By now, he may keep in mind many issues clearly.

He knew that Cheng Bao’er was a timid individual, and prior to now, Cheng Yun had at all times been the one supporting him within the household. With their mom, who cherished to coach folks, and Cheng Chuan, their father, who cherished to meddle, Cheng Bao’er, because the youngest within the household, was at all times at residence and rarely spoke up.

The concept of getting Cheng Bao’er promote bitter plum soup on the town was twofold: first, to make some cash to enhance the Cheng household’s dwelling situations, and second, to make him extra impartial by exposing him to extra folks outdoors the household.

“Have you ever had breakfast?” Cheng Yun poured a glass of water for Cheng Bao’er and requested. Seeing him nod, he continued, “Did Mother let you know why you’re right here right now?”

“Mother mentioned you’re going to show me how you can make soup that we are able to promote on the town for cash,” Cheng Bao’er answered in a low voice. “Brother, what soup is that? Can we actually generate profits from it? Mother additionally mentioned, additionally mentioned…”

“What did she say? That I earned some huge cash at Yueqiong Tower?” Cheng Yun smiled and mentioned, “Sure, the proprietor of Yueqiong Tower, whom you additionally know, is Liu Wen, the son of Physician Liu in our village. I first went to see Physician Liu and requested him to introduce me to Liu Wen. Later, we labored out a deal.”

Cheng Yun briefly instructed Cheng Bao’er about his cooperation with Liu Wen, and Cheng Bao’er listened with nice curiosity. His eyes have been glowing, and even the best way he checked out Cheng Yun was totally different.

Cheng Yun had a preliminary concept in thoughts. He would take the lead on this matter, however Cheng Bao’er and his household would deal with the following transactions. The cash they earned would even be theirs to maintain. Because it was not acceptable to provide cash to them instantly, he thought it was higher to indicate them a transparent path to earn cash.

He took out the bitter plum soup he had made yesterday, scooped a number of cups, and let Cheng Bao’er style it for himself. Then, he carried two cups to the entrance yard.

Earlier than getting into the room earlier, Cheng Yun had been fascinated about Yang Hongjin. He had intentionally spoken these phrases, yesterday he was embarrassed in entrance of Wang Liang and he couldn’t let the identical factor occur in entrance of Cheng Bao’er right now, or else the place would he put his face as the massive brother?

However as quickly as he completed talking, he regretted it a bit. He had by no means used such harsh phrases to talk to Yang Hongjin since coming right here. Though the idiot didn’t know any higher, he was delicate and will hold his displeasure buried in his coronary heart.

Nonetheless, when Cheng Yun walked into the entrance yard, he was shocked to see that the 2 males have been nonetheless working with their heads down, seemingly unaffected by what had simply occurred. This flip of occasions was sudden for Cheng Yun.

“Ahem.” Cheng Yun coughed a few instances, pretending to clear his throat, and the 2 males working in entrance of him turned their heads on the identical time.

“I’ve poured you a cup of bitter plum soup, it’s proper right here. Bear in mind to drink it in case you get thirsty later.”

Cheng Yun spoke whereas trying in the direction of Yang Hongjin, and the idiot’s face confirmed no distinction. When he noticed Cheng Yun, his eyes nonetheless shone brightly, and he sweetly known as out “spouse”, which made Cheng Yun, who was already ready to coax him, really feel a bit unhappy.

Cheng Yun touched Yang Hongjin’s head and noticed him having fun with himself, helplessly laughing and shaking his head whereas pinching his face. He requested Wang Liang to carry the bitter plum soup inside as he wished to speak privately with Yang Hongjin.

Cheng Yun felt that any conflicts ought to be resolved first and never buried in his coronary heart to turn into a much bigger drawback. He didn’t know what this idiot was pondering in the course of the incident simply now, however he nonetheless couldn’t recover from it. He was afraid that Yang Hongjin would assume that he disliked or didn’t like him.

He held Yang Hongjin’s hand and sat down, unconsciously squeezing his huge hand with each arms. After pondering for some time, he mentioned, “I scolded you so loudly simply now, are you offended with me?”

Yang Hongjin’s hand was being held by his spouse, and he felt a tickling sensation in his palm and his coronary heart. When he heard Cheng Yun’s query, he was shocked for a second, then shook his head vigorously like a rattle drum.

Cheng Yun squeezed his hand once more and requested, “Actually? You’re not offended?” He thought for a second and defined, “Bao’er is my youthful brother. You met him earlier than when he acquired married. He’s not a stranger, so I simply wished you to not be too nervous…”

“Not offended, spouse is sweet.” Yang Hongjin squeezed his spouse’s palms and wrapped his arms round his arms. Taking a look at their arms overlapping, he smiled fortunately.

Cheng Yun checked out Yang Hongjin’s expression critically and felt that he appeared to be telling the reality. He lastly felt relieved. Then he came upon that this idiot was secretly enjoying along with his hand.

Cheng Yun was nearly amused by his personal worries. He couldn’t consider that this idiot was so easy-going. He was so offended that he raised his hand and bit Yang Hongjin’s hand, after which he noticed that Yang Hongjin’s face, which was simply pleased a second in the past, immediately turned panicked as he reached out to the touch Cheng Yun’s abdomen and nervously requested, “Spouse, does your abdomen damage?”

Cheng Yun took a number of seconds to comprehend what he meant and felt each heat and helpless in his coronary heart. He touched his head and mentioned, “It doesn’t damage.”

“However I haven’t washed my arms,” Yang Hongjin was nonetheless fearful.

Cheng Yun smiled and fooled him, “However I haven’t put something in my mouth.” After saying that, he stood up, patted Yang Hongjin’s head, and let him proceed working obediently.

Yang Hongjin sat there watching Cheng Yun’s again, leaving a considerate look on his face.

Cheng Yun walked into the room and noticed Wang Liang and Cheng Bao’er sitting on one facet of the desk, dealing with one another and silently ingesting bitter plum soup. Wang Liang often stole a look at Cheng Bao’er, who remained immobile and maintained a pose as if frozen in time.

Cheng Bao’er was the primary to note Cheng Yun’s arrival, and upon seeing a well-known face, he breathed a sigh of reduction and put down his cup of bitter plum soup, calling out “huge brother.”

Wang Liang adopted swimsuit, placing down his cup and shouting “huge brother” as properly. When Cheng Bao’er turned his head to have a look at him, he instantly blushed as realized his mistake and scratched his head, saying, “Oops, my dangerous, it’s Cheng-Ge’er.”

Cheng Yun chuckled and sat down between them, asking Cheng Bao’er, “How do you want this drink?”

Cheng Bao’er’s eyes lit up, momentarily forgetting about Wang Liang as he replied, “It’s actually good!” However then he shrunk his head and whispered, “However, however can we actually promote this on the town?”

“Positively!” Wang Liang shortly responded upon listening to his doubts. Nonetheless, the opposite two checked out him, and he awkwardly closed his mouth.

Cheng Yun gave Cheng Bao’er a optimistic reply, “I’ll speak to Boss Liu about this. When the time comes, I’ll allow you to promote bitter plum soup instantly at Yueqiong Tower. I’ve already discovered the plan: one cup of bitter plum soup sells for 2 wen, and for each cup offered, you’ll give one wen to Yueqiong Tower. This implies you might be simply borrowing their place, and we’ll make the products. It received’t have an effect on their enterprise.”

“A cup of bitter plum soup can promote for 2 wen?!” Cheng Bao’er was shocked upon listening to this, however he remembered his mom telling him that his elder brother earned fifty taels of silver by promoting recipe books. He didn’t know what fifty taels of silver meant, however he knew it was some huge cash. With this in thoughts, he felt that promoting a cup of bitter plum soup for 2 wen was not unimaginable.

“Sure, that’s the preliminary plan,” Cheng Yun mentioned. “However we might want to focus on the pricing particulars with Boss Liu later. Now let me train you how you can make it. After you have mastered the method, you can also make it at residence and promote it with out going by way of me.”

He then turned to Wang Liang and mentioned, “And also you, Xia’er (second youngster), come and be taught with us. You’ll be able to train your sister how you can make it while you return, so she will drink it each time she needs.”

Wang Liang nodded fortunately and couldn’t assist however sneak a look at Cheng Bao’er, earlier than shortly trying away once more.

There was no time to waste, and Cheng Yun instantly started educating them how you can make the bitter plum soup. He first separated half of the components they used at residence yesterday and taught them the steps to make it. After that they had memorized the method, they began making an illustration.

“If the components are soaked for a very long time, you’ll be able to scale back the boiling time. If they’re soaked for a short while, you’ll want to boil them for an extended time to carry out the flavour,” Cheng Yun mentioned whereas including the components. “So it’s finest to soak the components the evening earlier than and cook dinner them the subsequent day, however it’s a must to cool it down afterwards and it’s a must to know when the appropriate time to take action is.”

Cheng Bao’er watched fastidiously as Cheng Yun labored, silently repeating every step to himself and sometimes asking a number of questions.

Then again, Wang Liang appeared distracted in contrast Cheng Bao’er.

He watched Cheng Yun work, however couldn’t assist sneaking glances at Cheng Bao’er, who was diligently studying how you can make the bitter plum soup. His eyes have been drawn to the boy’s murmured phrases.

One way or the other, an concept popped into Wang Liang’s thoughts. He simply felt that Cheng Yuner’s little brother is absolutely, actually…
