catch the rabbit

The matter of the Qilin Pearl is considered to be over.

The beads returned to Huangcai in the end, and he was very proud of his ability to erase the memory of that mortal.

It was Baoxiu who came up with the idea, but he was not very happy afterwards. When Jiang Tiaotiao asked, Baoxiu sighed and said, that boy is an honest man, and it’s fine if they cheated on his baby. One mistake might ruin his life forever.

Jiang Tiaotiao felt very guilty after hearing this, but Huang Cai didn't take it seriously.

"For a mortal, owning something from a fairy family and seeing the real body of a goblin is not a good thing. Maybe we are helping him!"

When Huang Cai said this, the string of unicorn beads was wearing on his wrist. Even though Jiang Tiaotiao couldn't tell the color, he still felt the brilliance was indescribable.

He stopped talking and sat alone by the window drinking.

Apart from leaving behind a pile of copper plates, the young man also left a piece of crumpled paper with the words "Lin Wanke" written all over it in clumsy handwriting, probably his name.

Jiang Tiaotiao stared at it for a while, then suddenly remembered that it belonged to someone else, even though it was just a piece of paper, it had to be returned.

Also, he had said that he was going to buy the drink, so the money should be sent along with it.

So he logically went to Fushou Street with the scraps of paper and copper coins, and found the pitifully small pastry shop after many twists and turns.

It had just rained, and Jiang Tiaotiao was walking on the wet bluestone road, and was hit by the rainwater dripping from the roof above his head from time to time, and his hair became wet after a while.

He saw the young man in the shop from a distance, so he quickened his pace and walked forward. His boots stepped on the stagnant water and made a crisp sound. When the other party heard the sound, he turned his head and their eyes met.

"You are……"

Jiang Tiaotiao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Huangcai's spell had gone wrong, and he didn't recognize him in just a day?

"You are the shopkeeper of Yueranju, right? I washed the clothes, but it's raining and I can't dry them for a while. I'll send them with the money for the wine when they dry." The young man said eagerly, "I'm not a person who doesn't keep promises."

Jiang Tiao's hanging heart fell, and he handed over the paper in his arms and the money wrapped in a handkerchief, "You misunderstood, I'm here to deliver this."

When he took a look, his face turned slightly red.

"Your name is Lin Wanke, right?" Jiang Tiaotiao asked.

He nodded, turned around and stuffed the paper under the counter.

"I... my name is Jiang Tiaotiao."

"I know." Lin Wanke smiled at him, "A few days ago, people in the whole capital were talking about you."

As he spoke, he took out steaming steamed buns from the steamer.

"You don't charge for the wine, and I have nothing else to thank you for. If you don't mind, just take some buns home."

The aroma of the food was really tempting. Jiang Tiaotiao remembered the dumpling he had eaten under the rose wall, and couldn't help but take one and took a bite. The sweet bean paste overflowed, and the taste was exactly the same as he remembered.

"It's so sweet, I've never eaten such a delicious bean paste bun!"

Lin Wanke was overjoyed and said, "This is the bean paste I grind myself, mixed with sweet-scented osmanthus and hawthorn."

After Jiang Tiaotiao ate the buns in two or three bites, he looked at the steamer piled high on the hill, and immediately felt that this small shop was better than his Yueranju.

Lin Wan is a very down-to-earth person, so when Jiang Tiao jumped back, he had a bag full of buns and pastries in his hand.

He gave it to Xiao Lan and A Ling, everyone said it was delicious, even Bao Xiu, who is a cook, was full of praise, only Huang Cai moaned, saying that these are street snacks that can't be put on the table.

Jiang Tiaotiao didn't think it was disobedient, and ate the rest of the red bean paste buns by himself slowly, completely satisfied.

When the sweet bean paste spilled out of the corner of his mouth, he thought of that boy named Lin Wanke who blushed easily and his little shop full of sweetness.

"It would be great if I could eat it every day..." Jiang Tiaotiao muttered while lying on the table.

***

Lin Wanke felt that he had encountered a lot of rare things recently.

The first thing is that he seems to have become a lot more delicate than before.

Ever since he got very drunk in Yueranju that day, he often felt dizzy for no reason, like a frail rich daughter. One time, when he was kneading dough, his eyes suddenly turned around, and a ball of dough fell to the ground and was covered with ashes. I am so annoyed.

Lin Wanke hadn't drank much before, and this time he finally knew that his capacity for alcohol and wine quality were terrible, but this time he lost face, but made him meet a very interesting friend—the owner of Yueranju, Jiang Tiaotiao.

Jiang Tiaotiao is as special as his name.

It stands to reason that Lin Wanke passed out drunk in his wine shop, throwing up and making trouble. It would be good if someone else didn't throw him on the street, but Jiang Tiaotiao not only found someone to take care of him, gave him clothes to wear, but also Insist on not charging him for the drink.

Lin Wanke gave him a lot of homemade red bean paste buns as a gift in return, and he liked it very much. After that, he often came to his shop to buy buns, and the two became friends after going back and forth.

Lin Wanke originally thought that he was the shopkeeper of Yueranju, and he must be very busy, but he seemed to be very leisurely every day, and Huang Cai took care of all the big and small things in the restaurant.

This person named Huang Cai, no matter how you look at it, is the son of a wealthy family, with extraordinary appearance and demeanor, it is strange that such a person is willing to stay in a wine shop and make plans.

After Jiang Tiaotiao bought red bean paste buns in Lin Wanke's shop for more than a month, Lin Baizhi also fell in love with this little brother who always wore black clothes. He ran back and forth every day when he didn't come, asking "Brother Jiang Why didn't you come today?" He was extremely clingy.

Not only that, but Lin Baizhi also shouldered the heavy responsibility of urging Lin Wanke to practice calligraphy, relying on his years of reading books to tell him what to do, completely unaware that his calligraphy is also terrible.

In fact, Lin Baizhi did not need to do this at all. Lin Wanke would rather not eat for a month than live up to Le Xin's kindness.

He went to the academy to learn calligraphy regardless of the weather, and scribbled on paper whenever he had free time. When Le Xin said that he had made progress, he was as happy as a child and couldn't sleep all night.

I have been there many times. Even Wen Jin and the old servant tea man treat him as their own family member and often invite him to eat together. A few times, Lin Wanke even brings some ingredients such as fresh fish and mushrooms to wait for the tea man to prepare. For the dishes, I asked Shang Lin Baizhi to come and eat together.

If the weather is hot, the tea man will bring food to the stone table in the courtyard, Lin Wanke and Le Xin will sit together, Lin Baizhi and Wen Jin will always squeeze together, and the tea man will drink porridge with a smile , It's really fun.

At this time, Lin Wanke would think, how wonderful it would be if life could continue like this.

He can't remember at all the reason why he went to Yueranju to get drunk, and those thoughts such as restraining himself from seeing Le Xin have long been thrown out of the sky.It's not because he is open-minded and optimistic by nature, but because Huang Cai's spells on him made him forget all about it.

For some things, it is often better to forget than to remember, but it is a pity that there are many people who know this truth, but few can do it.
