Chapter 121 Perfect Ending...
Xia Mo crossed his arms in front of his chest, raised his eyelids, and gave the hypocritical man a cold look. However, the man not only did not restrain himself, but the corners of his mouth curled even higher.
When Xia Mo saw it, his heart choked for a moment. For the first time, he felt that this handsome face, which was both resolute and sexy, looked so asking for a beating.
He moved his mouth twice, and almost blurted out "If you have the guts, buy a few more whips and I'll show you what horse riding is!" Fortunately, Tiedan, who had just finished drinking the green bean soup and wanted more, interrupted him.
"Aunt, Aunt! I want more!" Tiedan ran over and raised the empty bowl high.
His heart had long been captured by the cool and sweet mung bean soup, so he had no interest in what his father and mother said about the little piglet and the old piglet.
When Xia Mo heard the voice, his eyes narrowed and he suddenly met Tiedan's eyes who was standing nearby.
“……”Oh my god, he almost acted like a hooligan in front of the child!
Xia Mo felt ashamed and embarrassed, but he pretended to be calm on his face. Unfortunately, before he could even open his mouth, Tiedan's next words brought him back to his original form.
"Ah? Auntie, are you hot? Your face is so red..."
Tiedan tilted his little head and looked at Xia Mo suspiciously. He saw that the sun would soon set and the weather was not hot. He didn't understand why his aunt's face was still as red as if she was steaming.
Xia Mo was suddenly asked this question and stared at by his clear and clean eyes. His old face immediately turned red, and he felt that the blood and energy in his brain that had just disappeared suddenly surged back again.
He quickly glanced around and saw that everyone's attention was on Tiedan's parents. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely fortunate.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to them and Tiedan didn't hear what they just said, otherwise, he would probably have to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
After all, with this little guy's temperament, he would be so excited that he would shout loudly when he heard about riding or buying horses. If he said something by accident, he would be fond of gossip like Liu Yu. He had seen that kid before.
Xia Mo's eyelids drooped as he thought about it, and he said to Tiedan with a dry laugh: "Ahaha... it's a bit hot, it's just right, auntie, go and have a bowl to cool down."
"Okay, okay, then let's go over there quickly." Tiedan had no doubt about what he said, because in his heart, whatever Aunt Wenrou said was right.
Xia Mo nodded and smiled very gently, "Let's go, auntie will serve it for you first." As she spoke, she did not forget to reach out and take the bowl from his hand.
Tiedan said "Oh Yeah" and grinned, revealing two pointed little canine teeth, and then said in a childish voice: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Xia Mo laughed a few times, "You're welcome, Tiedan, you've worked hard today, you can have as much mung bean paste as you want."
Of course, these are secondary. The main reason is that it was thanks to the little guy's timely voice that he was able to avoid digging a hole and burying himself.
What do you mean by displaying horsemanship? If I tell you, I will just fall into the trap of the old man!
When Xia Mo thought of this, his eyes became stern. So, while Tiedan was not paying attention, he gave the culprit a fierce look. Then he continued to walk towards the place where the mung bean paste was placed with the innocent child.
After all, such a cute and clever kid can't be harmed by such an indecent person.
Xia Mo walked while glancing sideways at Tiedan who was jumping around full of energy beside him. His eyes softened instantly and he stroked his little head.
So after a while, the two of them walked away.
Xia Mo thought that there was no slip of the tongue and that this little episode was over. However, he didn't know that his last glare, which was two parts anger and eight parts hatred, with the corners of his eyes raised and his flushed cheeks, made him extremely charming, and the eyes of the person behind him darkened even more.
Ling Chuan narrowed his sharp eyes slightly, his dark pupils always staring at the figure, his gaze focused on the other's earlobes that were still white jade and pink, revealing some kind of dangerous signal.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He also knew what it meant to stop in time and proceed step by step. So he could only lick his back teeth unwillingly, stared at it for a long time, and then slowly withdrew his gaze.
After all, it took a lot of effort to lure the little thing out of its shell step by step, so you can't use too much force before eating it, or you can scare it so that it shrinks back into its shell.
Thinking of this, Ling Chuan gradually calmed down his anger, pursed his lips and looked away...
The pace of time is always silent. It passes through a small courtyard and slips away in the occasional bursts of laughter.
So it didn't take long before the lush green malt in the yard grew.
So after a day or two of leisure, the few people finally started to roll up their sleeves and get busy.
They began to peel the malt one by one, then wash and chop it...
Everyone had an orderly division of labor and performed their duties, and with the excitement in their hearts, the work was not as tiring as they had imagined.
Later, in order to increase the speed of making the syrup, Sister Qi even asked Liu Yong to bring the big pot from home.
In this way, two large pots can be cooked at a time, and they can also learn a little bit. Xia Mo is very supportive of this.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and 600 kilograms of maltose was finally completed through their joint efforts.
Because time was tight, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan did not waste any time and took the sugar to Manager Hong for inspection the next day after it was made.
Shopkeeper Hong and his assistants took some candies for inspection and saw that the quality of the candies remained the same and the packaging of the individual candies looked very festive. The candy wrappers, which were mainly red, had both floral patterns and gold-rimmed double happiness patterns on them. He was very happy.
So he paid the remaining money very readily, and also asked his waiter to go to Tianranju in advance to order a table of food and wine.
"Mr. Liu, Brother Ling, you can't refuse anymore this time." Manager Hong said with a smile.
"I heard that Tianranju recently launched a new dish and they're promoting it. It's really popular. There's only one day left for the promotion. Let's go try it."
Facing the hospitality of Shopkeeper Hong, Xia Mo's smile froze. Not long ago, he secretly said that he would never go to Tianranju again. But after just a few days? He was going to visit again...
But the fact is just as Manager Hong said, they had rejected it once before, so no matter what they said this time they could not offend this big customer.
Alas, the slap in the face came so quickly that Xia Mo was powerless to complain, but no matter what, not long after, he followed Manager Hong into Tianranju with mixed feelings.
As for Ling Chuan, his expression was indifferent from beginning to end. Even when the young man threw the money to him again, his eyes only softened slightly for a moment. However, this scene surprised Manager Hong, who couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The main reason was that Xia Mo acted too indifferent and really didn't leave him a penny. But after all, it was someone else's business, so Manager Hong had nothing to say.
