Chapter 470: Being Blackmailed
Several students walked through the crowded living room and finally found an empty seat by the window.
The shop looks so big, but I didn't expect it to be full of customers. I didn't expect they didn't come early.
At first glance, they saw that there were only little girls, but there were few students like them wearing bachelor's gowns.
"Huh? It seems that even those students don't know this place yet!"
"Would you like something to eat, my dear guests?"
As soon as the guest sat down, Chen Fan immediately brought over the menu.
While introducing the dishes, he praised the students for their handsome appearance, saying they were obviously great talents. With just a few words, he praised them so highly that they felt it would be improper if they did not order anything!
But after finding out the price, I felt that this stool was a bit too hot for my butt!
The price of this bowl of sweet water is half a month's food expenses...
Chen Fan seemed to notice their embarrassment. He flipped through the menu and showed the affordable sweet water at the back.
These are some seasonal milk tea and various snacks. They are simple to make and the cost is not high. Ordinary people can afford them. But for these people, they may still be a little expensive.
But anyway, it is much cheaper than the previous dishes.
A few people gritted their teeth and ordered some of their favorite dishes, then looked around the hall.
Not to mention meeting a stunning young cook, even meeting a girl would involve covering her face with a veil.
I'm afraid their plan will fail!
When the ordered snacks were served, their attention was immediately diverted.
Why are they looking at girls when they have such delicious food to eat!

Before long, word spread throughout Sanshui County that Lianglin Village had a beautiful flower garden and a super delicious sweet water shop.
The reputation soon spread throughout Chengzhou prefecture.
When Mrs. Wei heard about Hua Pu's deeds again, a different smile appeared on her face.
Fortunately, they were well-informed and had gone there earlier.
She also got some new good news. The people under the master had already started to take action. She believed that some good news would come in the near future.
"Cousin, the imperial appointment letter has come down, you should stop staying at home reading books. You should go out more often and take a look at the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daliang. Then you can become a good official like your uncle in the future."
This was the nth excuse Wei Jinse had come up with, all in order to coax her cousin into taking her to the Tianshuipu to drink sweet drinks.
Xiang Qian's lips curled up slightly. He had already agreed in his heart, but his body language still showed rejection.
Wei Jinse raised her nose and said, "Cousin, if you don't want to take me, then I'll go by myself. Anyway, I know the way and I even learned to ride a horse a while ago!"
After saying that, he jumped away like a rabbit.
Xiang Qian shook his head helplessly, "It's up to you, you have such a bad temper..."
"Humph, you dead sullen guy, I wonder who praised the delicious double skin milk last time."
Wei Jinse's mouth was pouted as if an oil bottle could be hung on it, and she was not forgiving at all.
"It would be nice if I could go with you. It's a good opportunity to meet Brother Zhu. I haven't seen him for a while. We will go our separate ways in the future. I don't know how many times I will see him again."
"Cousin, the Brother Zhu you are talking about is not the friend you mentioned in your letter, Zhu Chenxi?"
"That's right. Brother Zhu is completely different from other students. He comes from a peasant family but is full of integrity. Even the emperor of Daliang praises him. You will be able to meet him in person when the time comes."
"Well... let's see when the time comes. My aunt taught me that 'men and women should not touch each other'."
"Come on, you? Have you ever followed any rules since you were a child?"
Xiang Qian and Wei Jinse went to the backyard and brought the horses over while chatting. They talked non-stop but did not slack off physically. They quickly went out with their followers.
Wei Jinse breathed the air outside the door and felt full of strength. This was the feeling of freedom.
In just one morning, the group arrived at Lianglin Village.
"Ugh~ My butt is about to fall apart!"
Wei Jinse rubbed her waist while walking towards the booked room.
Fortunately, there are still rooms available here, otherwise if they rush back today, it will take a long time and they will be even more tired.
She was of no use in packing up, so after taking a bath and changing into comfortable clothes, she went to the sweet water shop to drink sweet water.
After coming here several times, I became familiar with the young cook at Tianshuipu.
Wei Jinse picked a handful of fresh jasmine, hummed a song and skipped as she walked into the shop. She would ask the cook to make her a few jasmine bracelets to wear. They would smell so good.
But there are so many people here today that the little cooks may not have time to chat and laugh with her.
As Wei Jinse was thinking about this, she couldn't help but bump into someone.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Zhu Chenxi just wanted to help his niece fetch some well water, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even do this.
Not only did it spill all over the floor, it also wet the guests' clothes.
"Miss, this is all my fault. I didn't pay attention behind me and bumped into you. I apologize to you."
Zhu Chenxi rarely sees the sun, so his skin is very delicate. When the sun shines on him, his cheeks turn red, and he looks like a weak scholar.
"Sir, I am also at fault in this matter. It's not all your fault. I didn't look at the road carefully just now. If my clothes are wet, I can change them. As long as I am fine, it's fine. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"You are right, young lady. But I am wrong after all. You came here to drink sweet water. How about I give you a bowl of sweet water as an apology?"
When Wei Jinse heard this, a smile immediately spread across her face, "That's a good idea."
A corner of her clothes got wet, but she didn't take it seriously.
But the blushing scholar in front of her was really interesting. He was so thin-skinned that he blushed after just a few words. He even wanted to treat her to sweet water, so she had to obey his command.
The two came to the private room, and Zhu Chenxi brought the menu for Wei Jinse to choose.
"Girl, feel free to order whatever's on the menu."
Zhu Chenxi's submissive tone gave people the feeling that he was particularly easy to bully.
After all, I was the one who did something wrong, and I was not in the right either in front of this girl or in front of my niece.
He had spoken such a big word, and he would have to give his niece a proper explanation later.
"Sir, you are so generous. I won't be polite. I have a big appetite, but I came all the way here to eat this sweet drink."
Wei Jinse took a quick glance and found a few more sweet dishes on the menu. Just the names whetted her appetite.
"Here, this and this, and a piece of golden wheat lava cake, and we'll be done."
Zhu Chenxi hurried to the kitchen and first confessed all his "crimes" to Zhou Mingshu, then told him what he had agreed to do and expressed his willingness to take responsibility for everything.
Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi kept laughing at him after hearing this.
"Uncle, look at you, I told you not to do those jobs, but you are being blackmailed."
