Chapter 171 - 170 Hanging Qin Liuxi on the Wall
Yu Changkong, perceptive as he was, noticed Qin Liuxi’s delight, and his own mood soared. He said, "Are you very pleased, Master?"
"Yes," Qin Liuxi replied. "You’re not too familiar with Li City, right? I know a place that makes delicious wontons. May I treat you?"
Beside her, Chen Pi lifted his eyelid and gave her a look. This was rare indeed—a stingy person actually inviting someone to eat.
Yu Changkong: "How can I let you spend the money? You’ve helped a lot with my eye condition. If anyone should invite, it should be Changkong."
"You’ve already paid the consultation fee, so there’s no need for any extra charges," Qin Liuxi waved her hand dismissively. "Come on, let’s go now. I fear the shrimp and meat fillings will be gone if we’re late."
Seeing this, Yu Changkong didn’t dawdle either. He looked to the guard standing like a pillar by the gate and ordered, "Da Qiong, get the carriage ready."
The wonton stall mentioned by Qin Liuxi was located in West Street Ten Inch Alley. It was just a small stall operated by two elderly grandparents and their teenage granddaughter. On the way to the wonton stall, Qin Liuxi greeted quite a few people along the road, some of whom even approached her, asking her to check their pulse and write a prescription for any recent discomforts.
Qin Liuxi was in a good mood. With just a glance, she would tell someone they had caught a cold and needed to bathe in ginger soup to reduce the fever. For others, without even checking their pulse, she would say they weren’t sick but had excess internal heat and needed only to consume some heat-reducing foods.
Upon arriving at the wonton stall, they found it already crowded with customers. Behind the stove, an old man was busy boiling wontons, and an old lady carried out a plate of freshly made wontons from inside.
