Chapter 118
Mother Zhong was also stunned. She put down her hand that was touching the cloth and stood aside with her daughter, staring at the woman who came down first.
After the wealthy woman came down, a little boy of about six or seven years old came down next. He jumped down without any help.
A dozen maids and servants followed the carriage, and the group of people rushed into the cloth shop.
The lady held the little boy's hand in one hand and the beautiful lady's hand in the other and walked into the cloth shop. Zhong Ruyi and her daughter came out only after they entered.
When I came out, I heard the noble lady talking to the beauty, "Yuyan, your pregnancy is still unstable. I shouldn't have let you come!"
Ah! The beauty is called Yuyan!
sounds so good!
Zhong Ruyi was very happy. This was the first time she saw such a beautiful person in real life. There were so many celebrities in modern times, but she had never met any of them. She didn't expect to see such a beautiful woman in ancient times.
She had already walked far away, but she wanted to turn around to take another look, and when she turned her head she discovered the problem.
There was a person following them. When asked how she knew it was the person following them, she knew that she had seen this person several times before, and he was always following them.
At first she didn't think too much about it, because the road wasn't hers, so others could naturally use it as well.
Now the two of them were walking all the way, and this person was still following behind them. It was hard not to suspect that this person was following them.
Zhong Ruyi tugged at Zhong's mother's clothes. Zhong's mother was a little confused. She was still immersed in the beauty just now and had not yet come to her senses.
Seeing her daughter's serious expression, she asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Is there anything else you haven't bought?"
Zhong Ruyi shook her head and whispered, "Mom! Let's go back first. We can talk about buying things next time!"
Mother Zhong didn't know what was going on, but she listened to whatever her daughter said.
Soon the two arrived at the street where Zhong Ji was, and the people following them were still there.
Mother Zhong also noticed something was wrong. She wanted to turn around to see who it was, but Zhong Ruyi grabbed her and said, "Mom, let's go back first."
It is not clear what the purpose of this person following them is, so it is better not to act rashly.
Zhong Laoer was sweeping the floor at the door with a broom. Seeing his mother and little sister coming back so soon, he asked, "Didn't you say you were going to buy spices? You've bought them so quickly."
As a result, the two of them only had cloth in their hands, and did not see the large ingredients usually wrapped in oil paper. He was a little puzzled and wanted to ask more, but he saw that his mother and younger sister looked unhappy.
He thought something had happened, so he dropped his broom and followed her into the store.
Mother Zhong put the cloth she had just bought on the table and poured a glass of water for her daughter. When she saw that she had finished drinking it, she poured herself another glass and drank it down in one gulp. Only then did she have time to take care of her son.
"Someone just came back with me and your sister."
“!!!” Zhong Lao Er.
"Are you still following me?" He said, and walked out the door and looked around, feeling that everyone was suspicious.
After drinking the water, Zhong's mother finally recovered. She went out to look around and saw the man who followed them back hiding in the corner, looking over here from time to time.
Seeing them standing at the door looking at him, he was not afraid, but just didn't look them in the eye and looked elsewhere.
Mother Zhong pointed the man at the second brother Zhong. The second brother looked up and was about to walk over to ask him why he was following his family, but was stopped by Mother Zhong.
She curled her lips, "What's the point of you going to find him? Maybe he will say you wronged him. This road is not ours. Let's wait and see what he is going to do."
Zhong Laoer calmed down after hearing what his mother said. He glanced at the man who was still huddled in the corner and closed the door directly.
In the kitchen, Zhong's mother was holding the remaining marinade and worried, "Is this guy going to follow us forever? What on earth does he want to do?"
If I follow them for the next few days, this marinade won't last long.
I just wanted to buy it, but forgot about it.
Zhong Ruyi suddenly thought of the newly opened braised food shop, and then thought of the person who followed them, and a doubtful thought slowly emerged in her mind.
"Second brother." She walked towards Zhong Laoer, "While that person isn't paying attention, see which street he's walking to. I remember the newly opened braised food store is on Sesame Street."
Zhong Laoer understood immediately. He nodded, went out, opened the door a little, moved a stool and sat there.
Mrs. Zhong understood immediately, "My daughter, do you mean that the man might have been invited from the newly opened store?"
She nodded. They were the only ones she could think of. Manxianglou and Lao Wu Tavern had already given the recipe, so there was no need for them to send anyone to follow them.
"It depends on where this person is going. If he is really going to the new braised food store on Sesame Street, then it's almost certain."
Zhong Laoer waited for a long time, and when the man saw that they had closed the door and no one came out, he left.
He quietly opened the door and followed him.
Zhong Ruyi left the door ajar, and sat with her mother on the bench that her second brother had just made, waiting for him to come back.
While waiting in boredom, Zhong Ruyi took out another bunch of grapes from the space, but Zhong's mother glared at her and said, "Be careful, don't take these things out outside!"
Having said that, we still need to eat.
Just when the two had finished eating a bunch of grapes and were about to take out something else to eat, the second brother came back panting. Zhong Ruyi quickly opened the door and let him in.
"How is it?" Mother Zhong poured him a cup of tea and asked anxiously.
Zhong Laoer was in no mood to drink water. He just held the teacup in his hand and said, "I saw him enter the newly opened braised food store with my own eyes before I left."
This statement confirmed that the man was sent by them. Mother Zhong gnashed her teeth in anger, "Aren't they already selling braised food? Why do they need to find someone to follow us from such a distance?!"
Zhong Ruyi asked, "Mom, do you think the braised food we had this morning tastes good?"
Mother Zhong rolled her eyes and said, "Your Aunt Chen almost vomited this morning. Do you think it tastes good? Anyway, even if you give me money to eat it, I don't want to eat it a second time."
"It seems like they came here for our stewed food recipe!" She complained indignantly, "They already have it, but they still want ours. How despicable!"
Zhong Ruyi patted her mother on the back, telling her not to be too angry. "They should have known that the spices in the stew were bought from the medicine store, but they didn't have the specific proportion of the spices, so the food they made wasn't that good."
Alas, they have already made most of the correct recipes, why do we still have to keep an eye on their clock?
At night, the clerk in the pharmacy was closing the store while yawning, but was stopped by a man with his face covered with a black cloth.
The waiter was startled and asked tremblingly, "Sir, what do you want? I'll get it for you!"
Zhong Lao Er pulled down the black cloth covering his face and smiled at the waiter sheepishly, "It's me, it's me."
He often came to this drugstore to sell spices for stewing, and became very familiar with the shop assistants.
When the waiter saw that the black cloth was pulled down by someone he knew, he let out a long sigh and complained, "Boss Zhong, why are you dressed like this? You're going to scare people to death in the middle of the night!"
