468 Octopus Ball Soup
"Although Ruyi Residence is still struggling to stay afloat, it looks like it will have to close down sooner or later. Rather than renting it out to someone else, I might as well sell it to you."
Fu Wanying became more and more excited as she spoke. Lao Lu, standing behind her, raised his chin and pointed it at her, then gestured to Xu Yiyi's temple.
Xu Yiyi shrugged.
Fu Wanying waved her hand: "Don't worry, I'll tell Shichen when I get back."
Xu Yiyi didn't know how to react, and in the end just gave an awkward smile.
"By the way, when do you open? I'm starving, I came over without having breakfast, could you... make me something to eat?" Fu Wanying smiled apologetically.
"Sure! What would you like to eat? I'll have someone make it for you."
Putting everything else aside, she had dealt with the brokerage firm several times before, so it's not like she couldn't even afford to give them this little bit of food.
Fu Yanying's eyes lit up: "Then I want to eat sauerkraut fish! And also..."
She was just about to start counting on her fingers when Xu Yiyi interrupted her.
She suggested, "Eating something too heavy so early in the morning might upset your stomach. I'm making fish balls right now, how about I cook you a bowl of fish ball soup?"
"Fish ball soup? The sweet and savory kind?" Fu Wanying asked, her eyes filled with doubt.
She ordered this dish when she came to eat that day. I think it was called Fish Ball, Silver Thread, and Dried Scallop Soup. At that time, she was only focused on eating pickled fish and roast duck. In the end, she couldn't eat anymore and only drank some soup.
"The soup is fresh and sweet, and the fish balls are bouncy and chewy."
Fu Wanying nodded: "Okay, okay! Let's have some fish ball soup first, and I'll have sauerkraut fish for lunch."
She smacked her lips, looking quite hungry.
By the time the servants in the manor saw the note she left and went to look for Wen Shichen, she had already started adding a second bowl of soup.
"Fu Wanying!" Wen Shichen's voice was clearly filled with anger.
Unfortunately, Fu Wanying was oblivious and waved happily when she heard his voice.
"How could you run out all by yourself without saying a word? It's dangerous!"
Upon hearing from the servants that she had run away by herself, he was so frightened that he immediately dropped his account book, disregarded his dignity, and hurriedly rushed to the restaurant after lifting the hem of his robe.
As a result, she was still carefree, holding a bowl and drinking soup at the restaurant.
Fu Wanying pouted unhappily and said, "How could I not say a word? I left a note."
"Even if you leave a note, you can't sneak out alone," Wen Shichen said helplessly.
Fu Wanying rolled her eyes at him and continued drinking the fish soup.
Wen Shichen cupped his hands to Xu Yiyi: "Please forgive me, Mr. Xu. Wanying's appetite has been poor ever since she became pregnant. I brought her here for a meal a few days ago and she's been thinking about it ever since. I didn't expect her to come and bother me so early. I feel really bad."
Wen Shichen's tone was apologetic, after all, Xu Yiyi's restaurant no longer did morning business.
At this time, everyone was busy preparing ingredients, but they also had to find time to cook for Fu Wanying.
"It was just a quick thing." Xu Yi waved her hand dismissively.
While the two were exchanging pleasantries, Fu Wanying gulped down the fish soup in her bowl, smacked her lips, and seemed somewhat unsatisfied.
"Boss Xu, could you ladle me another bowl?" Fu Wanying looked on expectantly. "I don't need the fish balls, I just want to drink the fish soup."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Wanying immediately burped.
"You can't drink anymore, you'll feel uncomfortable if you're too full," Wen Shichen said, taking the bowl from her hands with a little force.
Fu Wanying was annoyed and stared at him with a resentful look.
It took a lot of persuasion from Wen Shichen to finally bring the person back.
