“I don’t know about the small one either.”
The servant delivering the Pumpkin Cake choked on his words when asked by the master, taking a long moment before responding in a faint whisper.
After answering, he realized his legs were trembling and his teeth were chattering. Everyone working at Fushou Tower, including those washing dishes and running errands, had to memorize the names of every dish. Uncle Bingzi often organized tests for everyone, and if someone got the names of three dishes wrong, they would lose a month’s wages, or even risk losing their job. In front of the Esteemed Guest, how could he remain calm?
Fortunately, Su Yan-Chu didn’t seem to mind; he simply waved his hand to dismiss him. The servant felt as if he had been granted a reprieve, wiped the sweat from his brow, and hurriedly left the private room.
Inside, the others began to enjoy the fragrant Pumpkin Cake, only putting down their chopsticks when they could no longer fit anything else into their stomachs.
“This tea is quite unique as well. It’s slightly bitter at first, but there’s a sweetness that follows, and the aroma is delightful. After a few cups, my throat doesn’t hurt as much anymore. I wonder what kind of tea this is.”
Liang Yi took another sip of tea and threw a flirtatious glance at Su Yan-Chu. His low voice flowed like a song from a nightingale.
Ye Feng was also intrigued by the tea. After all, his teahouse offered over ten varieties of tea with clear distinctions in quality, yet he had never tasted anything quite like this. Not only did it soothe his throat, but it seemed to quell the heat rising in his chest. At that moment, he was eager to meet this special person behind it all.
Rong Li played with the jade ring on his finger, his gaze shifting between the dishes and the tea, a rare smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Su Yan-Chu had been startled many times today; his heart was still racing. Muxin was truly talented; just a few displays of skill had left these guests singing her praises. Although he wanted to earn more money, he couldn’t betray her trust. Since Muxin didn’t want to meet outsiders, he wouldn’t let her. After a pause, he added:
“This girl is indeed very special but has an unusual temperament. She’s quite adamant about her decisions and always personally prepares the dishes when she comes. Today’s tea... is certainly an unexpected delight.”
About a quarter of an hour later, Uncle Bingzi arrived with Rock Sugar Pear Juice.
"Young masters, this is specially prepared for you by the young lady."
Uncle Bingzi cleverly presented the items and quickly slipped away, joking that if he didn't leave, the Pumpkin Cake would be snatched up in no time. Just thinking about this feast made his blood boil with excitement.
Interestingly, the tea that Xia Muxin prepared for them was clear without any visible ingredients, at most showing a faint color. Even the aroma was not as rich as other teas, yet it tasted remarkably unique.
"Wow, refreshing!"
After drinking the tea and enjoying such delicious dishes, Su Yan-Chu was already eager to try something new. He picked up his teacup and drank it all in one go. In this scorching weather, that icy Rock Sugar Pear Juice felt like pure bliss; he couldn't even find the words to express what Uncle Xu must be feeling at that moment.
Seeing this, the others' eyes lit up as they also picked up their teacups to savor the drink.
