The Culinary Tycoon

"Hey, Yuan Bao, why did your young master send you so many earthworms? Huh, I feel goosebumps coming out..." Basket looked at the earthworms in the small wooden bucket, felt his scalp tingling, and quickly took a step back.

Fang Xin also took a look and then looked away.

This earthworm may not feel much just looking at it, but when the small half of the bucket is piled up together, looking at the earthworms constantly churning inside, it feels a little scary.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Yuan Bao scratched his head, took a look into the barrel himself, and thought there was nothing wrong with it, he replied: "Mr. I went to dig it for the little goose cubs to eat, and it took me a long time. Don’t you like it?”

Hearing this, Fang Xin's heart warmed slightly, but this incident really made people laugh and cry, and he replied: "Thank him then. It's just that goose cubs can't eat so much."

Yuan Bao scratched his head and said, "Let's leave it alone and eat slowly. Put some water and soil into the bucket, and you should be able to live for a long time."

Fang Xin nodded, and replied: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. It's just that next time your young master doesn't have to bother digging, so he can study with peace of mind."

Yuan Bao nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay Mr. Xin, then, do you have a reply for me to bring to the young master?"

Fang Xin thought for a while, and touched his left sleeve pocket with his right hand. There was a picture he had drawn in it, but he still pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and said, "Not today."

"Mr. Xin, Yuan Bao will go back first." Seeing that there was no reply, Yuan Bao left.

When Yuanbao left, Lanlan asked, "My lord, didn't you prepare a reply letter? Why didn't you give it?"

"Now is not the time." Fang Xin shook his head and said, "You take this earthworm to Uncle Lu, the gardener, and ask him to help dispose of it."

Luo Mingda made no secret of his feelings for him, but he was used to wandering around, whether it was worth entrusting him for a lifetime still needs to be observed.

"Aren't you going to keep it for the goslings?" Basket asked, frowning at the wooden barrel.

"I can't eat so much, I feel dizzy."

"Okay, I also think it's scary to look at, and I don't know what Master Luo thinks." After speaking, the basket covered the lid of the small wooden barrel, and took it to find the gardener.

Fang Xin returned to the room, took out the envelope in his sleeve pocket, and put him in a small wooden box.

In the blink of an eye, it is May, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter day by day.

The little gosling cubs have grown up into vigorous big white geese, pecking and pecking all day long, looking like an invincible general.

Fang Xin raised them in captivity in the backyard, and dug a small pond for them. The grass on the side was not removed, so that they grew into the water, so that the goose cubs could swim and peck the grass.

Luo Mingda looked at his heart itchy, wanted to see the big white goose, and even more wanted to see brother Xin, since he saw brother Xin at Zhaoxia Mountain at the end of January, he hadn't seen him again, so he was thinking hard, But I'm afraid it's over, and Brother Xin won't see him again.

In the past few months, Luo Mingda has been insisting on drawing pictures for Brother Xin, and he can also receive at least three replies from Brother Xin every month, which is considered to be in frequent contact.But Luo Mingda didn't figure out what Xin Ge'er was thinking, whether he liked him or not.

Because every time Brother Xin replied, he painted goose cubs, from the little goose cubs to the big white goose. Although he didn't see them, Luo Mingda had already witnessed the growth of the big white goose with his own eyes.

"Yuanbao, do you think I shouldn't have given goose cubs to Brother Xin? Brother Xin didn't draw his own life at all, and didn't ask how I was doing." Luo Mingda was a little disappointed, and began to reflect.

Yuan Bao comforted: "Master, if you didn't send the goose cubs back then, maybe Mr. Xin didn't even draw the goose cubs for you?" Yuan Bao can be regarded as witnessing the hard work of his young master's pursuit, it was very hard.

"... That's true. Sigh, when will Brother Xin be able to paint himself? I haven't seen him for a long time, I really want to see him..." Luo Mingda lay on the table and said weakly.

Yuan Bao leaned over, fanned his young master, and said: "Hey, young master, I just heard that the master asked our husband for leave, saying that he has something to do and can't come to the house tomorrow."

"Oh, did he say anything?" Lominda asked casually.

"I'm listening, it seems that he has something to do at home." Yuan Bao replied.

"Oh, that's it." Luo Mingda didn't look interested.

Seeing that his young master didn't respond, Yuan Bao asked, "Hey, young master, you want to see Mr. Xin so much, why don't you just go to his house to look for him?"

"To see him?" Luo Mingda sat up a little.

"That's right, it's not far anyway, and it will take a quarter of an hour by carriage."

Luo Mingda hesitated, "...I'm afraid he won't see me."

Yuan Bao thought for a while and said, "Just say, just say, you're here to see the goose cubs! The goose cubs have grown up, and you haven't even seen them yet."

Hearing this, Luo Mingda's eyes lit up, and he clapped happily and said, "Yes, I'm going to see the goose cubs. I gave the goose cubs. That's a good reason! Hahaha, Yuan Bao, well done, let's go to see the goose cubs tomorrow." Cub! By the way, I will write a greeting card, and you will send it to me later."

"Good job, master!"

On the second day, Luo Mingda got up early in the morning, ate breakfast, packed himself handsomely, and set off with ingots and gifts.

When they arrived at Fang Mansion, because they had delivered a post yesterday, the gatekeepers took them directly to the main hall.

In the main hall, Fang Fulang was explaining things to the housekeeper, seeing Luo Mingda coming, he chatted with him for a while, knowing his reason for coming, Fang Fulang asked the basket to take him there.

The basket brought the two of them to the place where the goose cubs were raised in the backyard, where Brother Xin was feeding two big white geese with vegetable leaves.

When Luo Mingda saw Brother Xin, he couldn't move his eyes away.After not seeing each other for a few months, Brother Xin took off his heavy winter clothes and put on a refreshing summer dress, which made him look fresh and beautiful, like a lotus flower about to bloom.Although he is now holding green vegetable leaves in his hand, it does not detract from his charm in the slightest.

"Are you here?" Fang Xin turned her head and greeted the two when she saw the two.

Luo Mingda saw it, and it wasn't until Yuan Bao bumped his arm beside him, reminding him in a low voice, that he came back to his senses, and said with a smirk, "Brother Xin, long time no see."

Seeing him like that, Fang Xin pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Here, the goose cub you want to see is here, come and see."

I don't want to see goose cubs, I want to see you!

"...Oh, good." Luo Mingda blinked, approached, and took a meaningful look at the two big white geese in the circle.

When I saw this, I was startled.

"Oh, why are they so big!" Luo Mingda was stunned for a moment, the two big white geese were much bigger than he imagined, and when they raised their heads, they could reach his thighs!

"Ga——" Hearing his voice, a big white goose raised its head and let out a loud, high-pitched cry, full of momentum.

Fang Xin glanced at him, smiled, handed over a vegetable leaf, and asked, "Do you want to feed it?"

"Okay." Brother Xin gave him the vegetable leaves, of course he has to feed them.

Luo Mingda took the vegetable leaves and stretched them out for the big white goose to eat.

"Just throw it on the ground..."

"Ah—" Brother Xin didn't speak, Luo Mingda was startled by the pecking action of the big white goose, took a step back, and looked at the big white goose in horror.

Almost got pecked!The pecking force was so strong that all the leaves of the vegetables were pecked away!

Brother Xin burst out laughing, and said, "Just throw it on the ground, it hurts to be pecked by them."

Luo Mingda looked at Brother Xin with wide eyes, and asked, "Brother Xin, have you been pecked by them?"

Fang Xin shook his head and said, "No, the basket has been pecked. When they were young, they pecked the leaves with great strength. Later, we didn't dare to feed them with our hands."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Luo Mingda was relieved when he heard that Brother Xin hadn't been pecked.

Hearing this, Fang Xin glanced sideways at Luo Mingda, seeing him looking straight at her, she turned her head and continued to feed the big white goose.

Seeing Luo Mingda, his heart was itching with joy.

I always feel that after seeing Brother Xin today, the two seem to have become acquainted a lot. Brother Xin chatted with me and said a lot.

"Are you still feeding?" Fang Xin felt that Luo Mingda was looking at him all the time. His gaze was so hot that he felt his ears were heating up. In order to divert Luo Mingda's attention, he asked.

"Hello." Luo Mingda came back to his senses, took the vegetable leaf from Xin Ge'er's hand with a silly smile, and accidentally touched Xin Ge'er's finger with his finger, it was cool and refreshing, which made his mind flutter for a while.

"Then feed well." Fang Xin withdrew her hand, retracted it and clasped it with the other hand, without looking at him and pursed her lips and said.

"Okay." Seeing that Brother Xin seemed a little embarrassed, Luo Mingda quickly looked away, and threw the vegetable leaves in his hand towards the big white goose.He was afraid that he would make brother Xin anxious, and then he would ignore him again, so what should he do?

After feeding for a while, the two finished feeding the vegetables and leaves in the basket, and stood aside to watch the big white goose eat.

"Brother Xin, you raised them really well, they are so fat." Luo Mingda looked at the two geese. The goose crowns on their foreheads were bright, their necks were long, their bodies were strong, their feathers were tight and shiny, and they were really growing very well.

Fang Xin glanced at him and replied, "This is not for you."

Luo Mingda was stunned for a moment, then became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Hey, Brother Xin, I didn't want to eat them, really, although I like to eat goose meat, but these two are just raised by you, I never eat them. I thought about eating them, I just want you to keep them for fun, you have to trust me..."

Seeing that he was really in a hurry, Fang Xin burst out laughing and said, "Okay, I'm just kidding you."

"Oh, you're kidding, hehe..." Luo Mingda scratched the back of his head, looked at Brother Xin's smile, stayed for a while, then turned around and asked, "Brother Xin, are they male or not?" Mother?"

"..." Fang Xin blinked and said, "Didn't you buy these? I wonder if they are male or female?"

Luo Mingda shook his head and said, "I didn't ask, I asked the farmer to pick two stronger ones."

"..." Fang Xin smiled lightly when he heard the words, then pointed to the two big white geese and said, "This is only the male's, and that is only the female's."

Luo Mingda saw that the two looked exactly alike, except one was bigger and the other was smaller, so he asked curiously, "How to tell the difference?"

"..." Fang Xin thought of how his uncle gardener directly inserted his finger into the anus of the two geese to check the anus of the two geese. The smaller one is the male, and the smaller one is the female."

"Oh, that's it..." Luo Mingda looked at it, but still didn't know how to distinguish it, and was about to ask again, when Brother Xin spoke again.

"Aren't you studying all the time recently? It's not long before Qiu Wei, why do you have time to see the goose cubs?"

Hearing this, Luo Mingda felt that Brother Xin was caring about him, and when he was happy, he said what was in his heart: "Master is on leave today, I, I want to see you, so I came here."

"...Aren't you here to see the goose cubs?"

Luo Mingda: "...Looking at the goose cubs, I also want to see you."

Brother Xin knew this was the case, he looked at Luo Mingda quietly for a while, and then said: "Master Luo, Qiu Wei is only three months away, you should prepare carefully."

What Luo Mingda is most afraid of is the way Xin Geer looks at him so quietly, as if all the thoughts in his heart have nothing to hide in front of Xin Geer.Feeling guilty for a while, he lowered his head and said, "...I know, I will prepare well."

Brother Xin sighed in his heart, seeing his cowardly appearance, his tone softened unconsciously, and said: "Now, the goose cub has seen it, and the man... has seen it too, so let's go back."

Luo Mingda obviously didn't want to go back at this time. We just met for a while, but when he saw Brother Xin's appearance and thought of his goal, he could only nod and replied: "Okay. Then, Brother Xin, I, I gone back?"

Brother Xin nodded and said, "Go back, prepare for the exam."

Luo Mingda reluctantly walked away step by step.

When Luo Mingda left, Basket asked: "Master, it's not easy for Young Master Luo to come here. He only came here for a while, and he's obviously reluctant to leave. Why did you drive him away?"

Fang Xin looked at the two big white geese, and replied softly: "So what if he is reluctant, he should concentrate on preparing for the Qiuwei exam now. I didn't want to agree to let him come yesterday."

"Then why did you agree again?"

Fang Xin was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Let's go, I haven't finished the summer dress for my little brother yet."

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and soon came the day of Qiu Wei.

In order to encourage Luo Mingda to take the exam well, Fang Xin specially wrote him a letter, which was not a portrait, but eight words: Calmness, no distractions.

Luo Mingda was very excited when he saw it, and Brother Xin was cheering him up.

He entered the Gongyuan with great fighting spirit, and then... came out disheveled.

After he came out, he knew that he would definitely not win Juren, and he still had this self-knowledge.

Now, he really regrets that he didn't study hard in the past few years, but it's too late to regret. Brother Xin is going to get married next year, and he definitely won't choose someone who can't even pass the provincial examination.

Just thinking about it makes me despair.

He was bored at home all day, and he couldn't even draw the paintings for Brother Xin every three days. He didn't have the confidence to paint, and he didn't have the confidence to send the paintings out.

Chu Rong and the others came to invite him to drink, but he was not in the mood to go. He just stayed at home every day, staring blankly at Brother Xin's reply to him.

When the results were released a month later, he didn't even go to see the results. When Yuan Bao came back after reading the results, he really didn't win.

After hearing the news, Chu Rong invited him to drink again, "You said you were going to prepare for the exam, and my brothers understood you and didn't bother you. Now that the exam is over, if you don't go out and have fun, you will be successful." Monk! Come, come, don't pretend to be dead, you are still young, you will have to take the exam next time."

Luo Mingda shook his head, weakly said: "There will be no next time, brother Xin will get married next year."

Chu Rong patted him on the head and said, "Hey, just a little brother, are you bewitched? There are so many good-looking brothers in the world, and Fang Xin is not the only one. Don't be stubborn!"

Luo Mingda raised his head, looked at Chu Rong with red eyes, and said, "But there is only one brother Xin in the world!"

"..." Seeing him like this, Chu Rong was really fascinated by Fang Xin, and immediately scolded with a smile: "OK, OK, just one brother Xin! You have a sad face, go, go drink with brothers , relax and relax."

"I'm not going, I want to sleep." Lominda muttered, lying on the table.

"Why sleep? You've been sleeping for a month! Walk around, we found a good place, I'll take you to have fun."

"I don't want to go..."

"go!"

With that said, Chu Rong pulled him out of the door.

As soon as he got out of the door and was about to get into the carriage, Yuan Bao suddenly called out, "Basket? Why are you here?"

Luo Mingda turned his head to look over, and Fang Xin's servant, Basket, was standing aside and looking at them.

Basket looked at Luo Mingda, and replied: "I'm here to deliver a letter to my son. Master Luo, are you going out... to play?"

Hearing that Brother Xin had a letter for him, Luo Mingda immediately ran over and said, "No, I just came out to send off Young Master Chu. What about the letter? Give it to me."

Basket looked at him hesitantly, then handed over the letter.

Luo Mingda hurriedly opened the letter, looked at it, and was stunned. After a while, he hurriedly said to Yuan Bao: "Yuan Bao, hurry up, prepare the carriage, let's go find brother Xin."

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Seeing his young master's anxious look, Yuan Bao hurriedly asked.

"Oh, go quickly!" Luo Mingda pushed Yuan Bao to go quickly, then turned to Chu Rong and said, "Brother Chu, I'm sorry, there is something wrong with Brother Xin, I want to go and see Look, let's go play."

"What's the rush?" Chu Rong was very dissatisfied.

"Just... I have something to do. Go quickly, don't make them wait." Luo Mingda said, pushed Chu Rong into the carriage, and then sent them away.

Afterwards, he asked Lanlan again: "Lanlan, how is Brother Xin? Are you sad? Why is the big white goose gone?"
