Chapter 785 I Won’t Save You This Time (28)
Hearing Yan Caiyue say this, the shopkeeper immediately became unhappy: "Miss, you can't say that."
"Really?" Yan Caiyue asked calmly, "The mutton and fish used are dwarf sheep and mountain carp, and the wine used to remove the fishy smell is Taoyan?"
"Miss, I am blind and don't know the real thing. You are an expert!" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "The sheep is a dwarf sheep, but Shanhe carp and Taoyan are really hard to find, so..."
"Then serve some of your other signature dishes!" After saying that, Yan Caiyue sat down in the private room with Chen Ang.
"Okay!" The shopkeeper responded and left.
Chen Ang has traveled a lot and is quite knowledgeable. He has never heard of what Yan Caiyue just said, but he is curious and doesn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.
After looking at the other person's eyes, Yan Caiyue first poured a cup of tea for Chen Ang, and then said, "Do you want to know what I just said?"
"Is it okay? It seems that not many people know about it, otherwise so many people wouldn't order this dish!" Chen Ang did not hide his curiosity.
"The dwarf sheep is a unique breed raised in the royal manor in Beijing. Because of their short stature, it only takes a few dozen days from birth to being edible." Yan Caiyue paused here and continued, "It is said that the sheep will be fed vinegar directly from the sheep intestines every day from the time they are weaned.
To inhibit bone growth, making the mutton very tender. As for mountain river carp, it is easier to understand, that is, the scales of this fish have special patterns.
Taoyan is a kind of wine that is brewed with a special process. The annual output is very small, so it is a luxury to use it to cook. "
"Madam Yan, you know so much!" Chen Ang always thought that Yan Caiyue was very talented, and now it seems that she knows a lot of things that he doesn't know.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
After dinner, Madam Yan and Chen Ang still took the same carriage back to their house.
The carriage moved slowly along the street. The not-too-bright lights from the windows shone into the car, allowing the two people to see each other, but with a hazy feeling.
The dim light made Yan Caiyue feel warm in her heart, but she was not used to such scenes, so she deliberately turned her head away from Chen Ang and turned to look at the gradually familiar street scenes of Luo City outside the window.
I don't know if it's because of Fushun's appearance, but she always feels a little uneasy in her heart.
Fu Shun's appearance was no accident. He was probably there to complete a certain mission. Moreover, he was loyal to the emperor and might not reveal his whereabouts for now, but what about in the future?
While he was worried, the carriage happened to pass through an uneven surface and suddenly jolted.
Yan Caiyue's body shook uncontrollably. When she came to her senses, she was already in Chen Ang's arms, with her right hand still held in his.
"Mr. Chen." Yan Caiyue felt that this man was really fast, and his whole body was stiff, which was a bit annoying, but, "It was just a bump, you don't have to be so nervous, I'm not made of tofu, I won't fall apart."
"Ah?" Chen Ang's face flushed instantly. "Well...well, I'm just worried that you'd get hurt."
Although he said this, his hands showed no signs of relaxing, as if his limbs had a consciousness of their own again.
I have to say, this "self-assertion" is really good! ヽ( ̄ ̄? ̄ ̄)ノ ?????
"I know, but you should let me go now!" Yan Caiyue did not struggle, and even rubbed against his arms. This kind of thing did not seem like something Yan Caiyue would do, but she did it very naturally, as if it was an instinct.
"Madam Yan!" Chen Ang exclaimed, "I...I, after the flower viewing party is over and I return to Yucheng, I will go to your house to propose marriage."
Yan Caiyue pondered for a moment and remained silent.
This silence made Chen Ang anxious: "Madam Yan, I will treat you well, for the rest of my life! Really, just like my father and mother, I..."
"No rush!" Madam Yan neither refused nor agreed, "Let's spend some time together and see how it goes!"
"How long?" Chen Ang was not a man to waste time. After he understood his intention, he wanted to "carry" the person home as soon as possible.
Yan Caiyue did not answer him, but leaned against the wall of the car and closed her eyes to rest.
What they didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes in the dark staring at the direction of the carriage.
He was a secret guard sent by Fushun, who was ordered to protect Yan Caiyue and also monitor her every move.
The secret guard hid in the shadows at the street corner, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring closely at the slowly moving carriage.
His mission was simple - to protect Yan Caiyue's safety and report her whereabouts and every move to Lord Fushun truthfully.
The journey was not very long, and it didn't take long for Chen Ang to send Yan Caiyue to her house.
Just like before, he got off the carriage.
During this time, Xiaoyuan, who had been waiting at the door, wanted to go forward to support her master, but before she reached him, the man stood firmly.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your hospitality today. When you return to Yucheng, you are welcome to visit our house." Yan Caiyue bowed to Chen Ang and then entered the house.
"It would be great if we could enter and exit the same door together someday." Chen Ang muttered to himself as he looked at Yan Caiyue's back.
The driver looked at his young master who was reminiscing about something, and reminded him, "Young master, we should go back now! We'll live across the street for the next few days, and you can come back tomorrow!"
Chen Ang didn't say anything, nor did he get on the carriage. He just walked back home by himself.
Yan Caiyue returned to her home and said to Xiaoyuan, "You've been hanging out outside all day. After you wash up, you can go downstairs! I'll be alone for a while."
"But, Master!" Xiao Yuan felt that this was a little against the rules, "I still have to keep watch for you!"
"You are alone, why do you still need to keep watch? You don't need to worry about it today." Then she asked Xiaoyuan to prepare toiletries. After they left, Yan Caiyue suddenly said, "You have followed me all the way. It must be tiring for you to keep watch all the time."
No one spoke to Yan Caiyue, but a rustling sound could be heard.
"I know Uncle Fu is doing this for my own good, but brother, your health is still the key to completing the mission." Yan Caiyue continued to lobby, "Since you are here to protect me, what difference does it make whether you do it in the open or in the dark.
Besides, we still have a lot of time to get along with each other in the future! Why must you be so stubborn? "
When Yan Caiyue came out of the garden, she found someone following her. She knew without any guessing the clues Fushun had laid so that she could keep track of her whereabouts at all times, which would be of certain value when necessary.
