Chapter 133 Too anxious to eat hot tofu
"No."
Seeing that he was about to speculate on conspiracy theories, Tang Qiyue immediately shook her head and said, "It's not what you think. There are not enough peppers, so there is no chili sauce."
"I see." Shopkeeper Li breathed a sigh of relief. "When will we have the chili sauce again?"
Tang Qiyue tilted her head to look at Zhao Bao, who was sitting on Xie Changjin's lap, holding a piece of cabbage with her bare hands and chewing it with her teeth, and said with relief, "Seven days later."
The three acres of peppers she planted will be fully mature in seven days after she uses her supernatural powers to ripen them. They can then be picked and made into chili sauce.
“The peppers will be ripe in seven days, but it will take several more days to pick and prepare them.”
"About how many?"
"About a thousand kilograms." Tang Qiyue made a vague estimate, because she still had some red peppers stored in her space, and she planned to mix them in when the time came, so the quantity would be more.
However, she thought of Huarun, which had ordered chili sauce earlier, and said, "I won't hide it from Shopkeeper Li. My chili sauce has been ordered earlier. If you need it, you have to wait for the second batch."
"That is, in early April."
Shopkeeper Li was shocked, "What? It's been reserved? And I have to wait until early July?" It's only early February!
How could he wait for this?
"Miss Tang, can you tell me, who reserved the chili sauce?" Shopkeeper Li thought that if he knew who it was, he would have to go to the house to talk to the owner. How could such a good thing as chili sauce be reserved by one person?
If you become fat by eating one bite, others will starve to death!
"Huafu." Tang Qiyue opened her red lips and asked, "Do you know Manager Li?"
"Hua...Huafu?" Shopkeeper Li's voice trembled and he was weak in his push. He knew Huafu very well!
"Are you talking about Huafu, the largest cloth shop in our town?"
Tang Qiyue nodded, "Exactly."
After confirming this, Manager Li immediately threw the idea of visiting the restaurant out of his mind. He was just the owner of a restaurant, so how dare he compete with the Huafu.
I didn't dare to grab it before, and I don't dare to grab it now! Haven't you heard that before the New Year, the capital of China got a rare and mouth-watering fruit, which caught the eyes of the nobles in the capital and the one in the palace. Now, who wouldn't go to curry favor with the people who want to eat that fruit?
He went to share the chili sauce with others? Isn't this asking for a beating?
Tang Qiyue did not miss the pale and blue look on Shopkeeper Li's face and chuckled, "It seems that Shopkeeper Li is very familiar with the Washington Palace."
It's more than familiarity, it's fear!
Manager Li coughed lightly, "Can't you even add a pound? Miss Tang, the customers who come to my restaurant every day always ask for chili sauce. If I don't let them eat it for several months, it will be terrible!"
Tang Qiyue thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go and discuss it with the people in Huafu first to see if they are willing to give some to your restaurant."
If it weren't for Tang Qiyue's serious and normal expression, Shopkeeper Li would have thought she was teasing him. Asking Huafu for chili sauce? He was afraid he would be kicked out before he even entered the door.
However, Shopkeeper Li thought about it and felt that this was the only way.
He immediately said, "This table of food is my treat for Miss Tang. Please enjoy your meal. If there is not enough, please ask the waiter to serve. I have something to do first."
Tang Qiyue knew what he was going to do, and nodded, "Thank you, Manager Li, you can go back to your work."
After Shopkeeper Li left, the only sound in the box was the clatter of dishes and chopsticks.
After a long time, Xie Changjin gently reached out and grasped Tang Qiyue's wrist, "Aunt, do you know about us?" What he actually wanted to ask was whether Lin knew that he was Zhaobao's father.
Tang Qiyue glanced at Tang Shuyao who was struggling with the sweet and sour spare ribs, and glanced at Xie Changjin who was becoming more and more courageous, but did not withdraw his hand. Instead, he silently put it under the table and said, "I know."
"Then..." Xie Changjin sat up excitedly and looked at Tang Qiyue expectantly, "Then when can I..."
Tang Qiyue quickly picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's still early."
"I only told my mother that you were pursuing me, and I didn't tell her about Zhao Bao." Tang Qiyue smiled.
Xie Changjin was suddenly fed by her and chewed the beef in his mouth obediently. He was inevitably disappointed when he heard this, but it was better than hiding. "This is also good."
Tang Qiyue took in the disappointment in his eyes and smiled, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, thank you, Master."
The force on her wrist suddenly increased. Xie Changjin lowered his eyes and moved closer to her. Her face was reflected in his dark eyes. "How do you know I'm anxious?"
Although his handsome face, which suddenly became larger, had some flaws, Tang Qiyue had seen his most stunning side, and it was not affected at all. Her earlobes suddenly turned red and hot, and she pursed her lips and said, "You're not anxious? That's perfect, I'm not anxious either."
Xie Changjin, who was outwitted, chuckled, let go of her hand, and pinched her nose instead, "You naughty!"
Tang Qiyue slapped his hand away, and as if guilty, she glanced at Tang Shuyao who was not looking at them, and warned him fiercely, "Behave yourself, and don't forget that you are still in the probation period."
"If you make me unhappy, humph!"
The ending tone was long and hooked, which made Xie Changjin's heart soften. He nodded solemnly, "Yes, sir."
The two of them were secretly fighting for a long time, and the two children in the box didn't notice it at all. One was busy eating the dishes, and the other was busy chewing the messy cabbage strips that were already in his hands.
When she left the reception building, Tang Qiyue's cheeks had a slight blush, which took a long time to fade away.
Next, Tang Qiuyue went to the garment store and bought a piece of suitable cotton cloth for each family member to make spring clothes, as well as some sweat-absorbent and breathable fabric to make pajamas.
The short-sleeved and shorts pajamas I made for Zhaobao last year are too small, so I have to redo them this year. Now that the weather is cool, I’d better make them early so that I can wear them in the summer.
Lin and Tang Lao San also had to make some. Earlier, when Lin saw Zhao Bao's pajamas, she said that she also wanted to make a set for herself. Tang Qiyue had always remembered this, but she had never found a more suitable fabric for making pajamas.
I was lucky today and found it.
After buying the cloth, I went to buy a few boxes of cakes and pork. Unexpectedly, I ran into someone selling beef.
In this era, cows cannot be slaughtered casually, unless they die of illness or accidents.
The cow in front of me, whose blood has dried up, seems to have died from being hit on the head by a big rock.
Tang Qiuyue thought of various ways to eat beef and immediately ordered ten pounds of it. She originally wanted to buy eggs, but when she thought that the chickens and ducks at home were about to lay eggs, she gave up.
Seeing that people were buying silk flowers, Tang Qiyue bought two flowers of different colors for Tang Shuyao and her daughter Zhao Xiaohua. She also bought one for San Ya, who she had met a few times but had a good impression of, and asked Tang Shuyao to give it to her when she returned.
The cart that came empty became piled up like a mountain when it returned, with almost no room for a few people to sit. Tang Qiyue touched her nose embarrassedly.
