The wolf was in pain and turned around several times in a daze. Fu Beimo hit the wolf hard with a shovel and knocked the wolf out of the yard. The wolf whimpered and ran away. Fu Beimo chased. Yan Funing tugged at the collar of her heart and pressed it hard, and then she calmed down a little. My legs seemed to be numb, and I couldn't take a step. I had to open the door and shout: "Beimo, don't chase me." Wolves are social animals. If Beimo chases like this, what if he encounters a pack of wolves?
He can deal with one wolf, but it will be difficult to deal with a group of wolves. Hearing the shout, Fu Beimo came back. "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Yan Funing shook her head: "It's okay."
"Are you injured?" "No injuries." Fu Beimo felt relieved and patted his chest: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, Beimo will protect you." Yan Funing was very scared and her heart was still beating wildly. But seeing the innocent young man being so sonorous, she nodded with a smile: "Thank you Bei Mo, thank you for that!" Fu Beimo closed the fence door again and saw that the door to the west wing had not been damaged by the wolf, so he felt relieved and went back to his house. Yan Funing closed the door tightly and placed the chair firmly against the back of the door. After lying on the bed, she was so scared that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. -
The next day, Yan Funing arrived in the town and went to Qingshan Academy first. Since it was still early, classes had not yet started in the school. Yan Funing met Fu Ciyi in the courtyard of the Master's dormitory. Fu Ciyi was washing and drying the clothes he had changed out last night. He turned to look at her coming over and was very surprised. Yan Funing walked a few steps quickly, but before she could speak, she heard him ask coldly: "What's the wind that brings you here?" The man's cold eyes glanced at Li Xinheng and Caiyu. The two fell asleep and left the courtyard on the pretext of watching the morning view of the school. Yan Funing stepped forward to help smooth the wet clothes: "I have something to ask you for a favor." The corners of Fu Ciyi's lips moved slightly. He knew that she would not come looking for him if nothing happened. Then he walked into the house. Yan Funing followed: "It's hot summer now, and I want to make some summer dishes in the restaurant, which require a lot of ice cubes. No one in the countryside stores ice cubes, but big families in the city do. The Lu family may have many, you can I have a good relationship with Lu Wenfeng, so I would like to ask Lu Wenfeng for a favor through you." Fu Ciyi said quietly: "My relationship with Lu is average, so I can't help."
He couldn't bear to ask for help. "Oh." Yan Funing bit her inner lip and pursed her lips for a long time. She wondered whether she should say that she hoped he would go home and sleep. Fu Ciyi organized the desk and took a few books. Seeing that she hadn't left yet, he asked, "Is there anything else?" Yan Funing mustered up her courage: "When will you go home?" "Didn't you ask before?" he asked. "Oh." He doesn't want to go home to live. But a wolf really came to the village last night, and she was scared to sleep at night. Then I thought about it, why should she let him keep her safe?
He has nothing to do with her. What's more, he lives well here and studies well. She couldn't be so selfish and call him back just so she could sleep soundly at night. Furthermore, there was no summer vacation in the modern sense in ancient times. That means there is a field holiday during the busy farming season, and now the field holiday has long passed. Fu Ciyi glanced at her: "If there's nothing else, I'll go to the teaching dormitory?" Yan Funing thought of Caiyu and asked, "I want Caiyu to sleep with me in the west wing, but there is not enough space in the room to set up a bed. Can Caiyu..." Before she could ask her question, he interrupted: "Yan Funing, remember, that bed is mine." The implication was that he was only lending it to her to sleep on, and no one else was allowed to sleep on it. Yan Funing lowered her eyes and nodded: "I know, I'll go back." He hurriedly walked out, called Li Xinheng and Caiyu outside the courtyard, and hurriedly left the school. Fu Ciyi narrowed his eyes slightly. Since he moved into the school in late April, every time she appeared or someone mentioned her, it made him feel unstable. The same is true today. -
Yan Funing arrived at the restaurant, informed Liu Song, and then went into the city. Fu Ciyi refused to help. For the sake of business, she had to try to persuade Lu Wenfeng. When she arrived at the county town this time, she ordered Li Xinheng to drive the carriage directly to the entrance of the academy. At the concierge, he asked to see Lu Wenfeng. Not long after, Lu Wenfeng came out swinging a folding fan. "Brother Ci Yi didn't come again?" He glanced at the empty carriage and turned to Yan Funing beside the car, "What are you doing, Miss Yan?" "Do you have ice at home?" Yan Funing asked directly. "Yes." Lu Wenfeng closed the folding fan and looked at her, "I understand, you are a spoiled child. It's hot today and you want to use ice cubes to cool down." Yan Funing shook her head: "No, I want to do a business with you."
Lu Wenfeng smiled: "I'm busy preparing for autumn, where will I have time to do business?" "Are you short of money?" When Lu Wenfeng heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't ask so loudly." Yan Funing asked herself that her voice was not loud. She realized that Lu Wenfeng also had a good reputation and didn't want the students who came and went to hear that he was short of money. Lu Wenfeng unfolded the folding fan to cover his head and nodded slightly. The Lu family is not short of money, but he is short of money. The main reason is that his knowledge is not good enough, so the money given by his elders is less. Relying on only a few months or two of money every month, the young master's life is very difficult. Yan Funing said softly: "The Lu family has a big business and a big ice storage cellar, so there will definitely be no shortage of ice cubes. I need a lot of ice cubes for cooking. If you are willing to sell it, we can negotiate the price." Lu Wenfeng asked in a low voice: "What's the price?" We do have a lot of ice at home. There are many quotas assigned to each yard every day, and ice cubes are used to cool down no matter day or night. Of course, ice cubes are also used to make meals and chill various ingredients. "Let's calculate it in terms of carts. How about five taels of silver for a cart of ice cubes?" Yan Funing opened her five pink and waxy fingers, "Do you want to do this deal?" If she doesn't offer a high price, this young man might look down on her. Lu Wenfeng touched his bare chin, and after a moment, nodded: "Deal!" "But I have to say it up front. Ice is easy to melt in summer. When transporting it by carriage, it must be kept warm with a thick quilt. If it melts before transporting, I will not give you any money." "Integrity is the key to doing business." "Okay then, you can send the ice cubes to Liu Ji Restaurant in Qingshan Town." "Liu Ji?" Lu Wenfeng couldn't help but ask, "Is that the Liu Ji Restaurant whose signature dish is Buddha Jumping Over the Wall?" As soon as the question came out of his mouth, he realized why the woman in front of him had been looking for him to find out about the boss behind the big restaurant in the county town? Dare she be... Thinking of this, he asked: "Are you the shopkeeper of Liu Ji Restaurant?" Caiyu said proudly: "That's right, Mr. Lu's cart of ice cubes is just enough to eat one of his signature dishes." "I can't afford it, I can't afford it." Lu Wenfeng lowered his voice again, "Miss Yan, can you treat me to something?" I thought she would not agree, but she readily agreed: "Okay." Lu Wenfeng clapped his palms with a folding fan and said loudly: "Be generous!" Yan Funing was about to go back, so she got on the carriage and turned around to say: "It is best to transport the ice cubes in the early morning or in the evening. Pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. I hope Mr. Lu will transport the ice cubes as soon as possible."
Lu Wenfeng responded: "Tomorrow, send it early tomorrow morning." (End of Chapter)
