Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 250 My sister and I have the same name

Putting down the bamboo chopsticks, the girl in red praised: "Sister Cook, the fish you cooked is really delicious. My mother will definitely like it. It is sour and refreshing, and the soup is rich and fragrant without a trace of fishy smell."

Then he said, "Sister Cook, what's your name? I'll ask you to cook for me next time I come."

Without waiting for Shen Yu to answer, she introduced herself: "My last name is Song, my name is Yuzhi, and my family calls me Zhizhi."

Shen Yu couldn't help but laugh, and could only say: "Don't be surprised, young lady, my surname is Shen, and my name is also Yuzhi."

Song Yuzhi said in surprise, "What a coincidence! My name and my sister's name sound the same. What are the two characters in your sister's name? Mine is Yu from Baoyu and Zhi from Lingzhi."

After saying this, he looked at Shen Yu expectantly, as if hoping to meet someone with the same name as him.

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Mine is the jade of jade, and the branch of branch."

Song Yuzhi was a little disappointed after hearing this, but then she became happy again: "Although the characters are not the same, they sound the same. It shows that my sister and I are destined to be together. From now on, I will call you Sister Shen."

Shen Yu thought about it, smiled and declined, "Thank you Miss Song for your kindness. I am just a cook in a restaurant, so I don't dare to call you my sister."

"I am the eldest in the family, so you can call me Shen Yuanniang or Shen Xiaojie."

Song Jinzhi thought of Aunt Qiu at the store, who had a serious expression on her face and always talked about rules, and suddenly she felt that she was being rash.

She smiled shyly and called out obediently, "Miss Shen."

After a pause, she suddenly thought of what Shen Yu had just said, and then she opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Aren't you a cook working in this restaurant? This restaurant is opened by your family, so you are the owner."

Shen Yu nodded and admitted it with a smile.

Song Yuzhi exclaimed: "Miss Shen, you are amazing. You look not much older than me. If I tell my mother about this, she will say that I only know how to play every day."

Shen Yuze smiled and said, "You are so lucky, young lady, to be able to live a worry-free life. Many people want that but cannot get it."

After that, he instructed: "This soup basin is full. Put it in the food box and be careful when carrying it. If you put it in the carriage, the soup may spill and stain the girl's dress."

Song Yuzhi said, "It's okay. I'll just let Aunt Qiu hold the food box."

Shen Yu thought about it, then took a larger ceramic bowl, put the soup bowl in it, covered the soup bowl with the lid, and then placed the ceramic bowl in the food box.

After it was done, he explained to Song Yuzhi, "This way, even if the soup spills, it won't leak out of the food box, which will be better when we're in the carriage."

Song Yuzhi nodded, her eyes curved as she said, "Ms. Shen is really thoughtful. How much is the silver? I'll ask Aunt Qiu to come and pay."

Shen Yu roughly calculated and said, "Including the food boxes and soup bowls, the young lady should pay two hundred coins."

After hearing this, Song Yuzhi laughed and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen. It's getting late. I'll go home first."

Shen Yu gently advised: "The road is slippery on rainy days, please walk slowly on the road."

After standing at the kitchen door and watching Song Yuzhi enter the small door of the shop, Shen Yu turned back to the kitchen.

But a moment later, Aunt Qiu came over with an umbrella and a stern face, and said in a cold voice: "The young lady asked me to come and get the lunch box."

Shen Yu picked up the food box and handed it to her, saying, "The soup bowl is full of soup, so Madam Qiu should be careful when carrying it. I put a larger ceramic bowl in it, so don't worry, it won't leak out of the food box."

Aunt Qiu was stunned when she heard this, and she looked at Shen Yu, took the food box, and said in a stern tone: "Thank you for your trouble, young lady. I will give the money to the store counter."

Having said that, he took the lunch box and left.

Zhou Dalang and Yutao came out from next door after seeing the two female guests leave.

Shen Yu smiled at Yu Tao apologetically: "I can't have the pickled fish for lunch today, so I'll make you another sweet and sour fish that you like."

Yu Tao quickly waved her hand: "We can eat anytime, don't bother me today, sister. Actually, the boiled fish is also very delicious, but it's too spicy."

"Or, before you pour the chili oil on it, just serve me a portion."

Shen Yu thought about it and said with a smile: "That's fine, but it won't be as spicy and fragrant."

"One fish is a little too small for us to share. After the fish is cooked, we can get two plates of stir-fried vegetables from the store."

The two sisters were discussing lunch when Li came over with a silver ingot in her hand, looking very surprised. She asked as soon as she entered the kitchen, "Yuzhi, what fresh dishes did you make today to sell to that young lady? Why did you charge her so much silver?"

As he said this, he held a silver ingot in his palm for Shen Yu to see.

Shen Yu looked at the ten-liang silver ingot in Li's hand and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Mother, was this paid by Miss Song?"

Li nodded affirmatively and asked in confusion: "Is the money wrong? She said it was you who said that she had to pay ten taels of silver."

"The mother who followed was very angry, but the young lady insisted on paying, so the mother had no choice but to pay the money and followed the young lady with the food box."

Shen Yu couldn't help but get anxious. He took the silver ingot from Li's hand, and without even bothering to open an umbrella, he ran quickly into the shop in the rain.

She rushed to the door of the shop and looked around, but there was no sign of the magnificent carriage.

Seeing Shen Yu's anxious look, Jiang and Zheng Sanniang thought something had happened, so they hurried to Shen Yu and asked her what was wrong.

Shen Yu didn't bother to explain, and just asked: "Where did the girl in the red dress go by car just now?"

Jiang pointed westward and said, "He went that way. He has been walking for a while."

Shen Yu looked at the empty street and realized that he could not catch up, so he had to return to the shop dejectedly.

Jiang said worriedly, "Is there something wrong? The mother has already paid the money."

At this time, Li and the others also came over. Shen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I only asked the girl for two hundred coins, but who would have thought that she actually paid ten taels of silver. She paid too much."

Jiang and Li looked at each other, and Jiang said, "The girl said that you specially made the dish, so it's expensive."

Li asked Shen Yu what dish he had prepared. When she heard that it was pickled fish and not an expensive ingredient, she was a little dumbfounded.

She said worriedly, "That lady paid so much at once, no wonder the mother who followed was so angry."

"Will this not make people think that our family is a shady shop? We charged so much money for a dish made of grass carp."

Jiang thought for a moment and comforted her, "Don't worry, it shouldn't be the case. Judging from the way the little girl is dressed and the demeanor of her mother, she must be a lady from a wealthy family."

"Perhaps she felt that she had robbed Miss Yuzhi of her own food, or that she thought it was particularly delicious, so she gave her some extra silver as a reward."
