Chapter 19: A Tender Feeling
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Liu Huixiang's home.
The sound of the millstone turning continued.
Zhang Cuihua seemed to be never tired. The millstone as big as a dining table was like a small toy in her hand, and she continued to produce.
Liu Huixiang stood beside the millstone, looking radiant and with fair and smooth skin.
Today, she wore a bright red mandarin duck-patterned bodice, which was bulging out, and a silk narrow-sleeved straight-collared jacket on the outside. She wore a lake green embroidered silk skirt underneath, and her two small embroidered shoes were visible from time to time.
Because of her work, she also wore a white silk apron with a knot behind her waist, outlining her slender waist.
Su Xian is still a "spectator".
He sat at a small wooden table against the wall. He felt a little full after eating two large bowls of thick porridge. He held a book in his hand. According to Liu Huixiang, this was a precious collection of books that she brought from her mother's home and was not available outside.
Liu Huixiang was kicked out of the house, but she was not left with nothing.
Su Xian's eyes could not stay on the book, but kept sliding towards the millstone.
Young Mu Ai.
There is a reason why Liu Huixiang is called "Tofu Xishi". Her figure, face, and temperament are all extremely outstanding, and she deserves the title of Tofu Xishi.
The only two regrets are that she has a bad reputation and she is no longer eighteen or nineteen years old.
But these "regrets" are not a problem for Su Xian.
He believes that appearance is justice!
Compared with last time, Liu Huixiang's bright red tube top with mandarin ducks embroidered on it today contrasts with her fair and tender skin, making it extremely eye-catching.
It's so fascinating that people can't take their eyes off it.
Songmo style of Hanfu can best highlight femininity.
It directly exposes the bra to the public.
Women who love beauty carefully carve this piece of cloth.
Embroidery, embroidery of mandarin ducks, and even more so, embroidery with gold and silver threads, colorful, exquisite and luxurious, wrapped in the chest, let people have endless reverie...
From Su Xian's position, he could see Liu Huixiang's profile just by sliding his eyes.
She has a very good figure, so this outfit, besides making her look gentle, also gives off a "about to explode" vibe.
Su Xian doesn't think he is a dirty guy, but his eyes always slide over there unconsciously.
Opposites attract, that’s the truth of the universe!
This is how he comforted himself.
Su Xian slid his eyes over again and admired it carefully for a while, then he discovered a problem.
Since her body is so explosive, why doesn't her body sway like water ripples?
"Breast Binding!"
Su Xian thought of this more mysterious object.
It was a piece of cloth, used to wrap around the body...
Su Xian couldn't help but wonder, "Even with a bra, she still looks so... hard to control. What if she doesn't have it on?"
"This thing is destructive to women and should be abolished. Also, doesn't she feel suffocated?"
Suddenly, Su Xian remembered the time a few days ago when he ran into Liu Huixiang hanging clothes .
There were several long strips of cloth next to the clothes, and one of them was covered on his face by the wind.
At that time, Su Xian thought it was a shawl, a long strip of cloth worn around the arm.
But at this moment, he suddenly woke up.
That should be "chest binding"!
No wonder Liu Huixiang's reaction was so intense...
While he was daydreaming, Liu Huixiang took a wooden spoon and poured the soaked soybeans into the grinder. Then she turned her head and looked at Su Xian and said with a smile, "Mr. Su, why don't you guess how much did the stinky tofu make yesterday?"
Su Xian came back to his senses and looked up.
She has a very beautiful smile, which makes people feel like spring breeze.
And there seemed to be a hint of admiration in her watery eyes.
However, in addition to a slight admiration, there is also a hint of shyness and unnaturalness.
Probably, the moment she turned around, she noticed the two fiery gazes in Su Xian's eyes.
Staring straight at her...
chest.
Su Xian calmly withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment and said, "After the taste test by Mingfu yesterday, our stinky tofu stall was almost blown away by the guests who came here to admire it."
"But there were many people trying the food, so I guess... I didn't make any money, did I?"
Yesterday, after eating stinky tofu, County Magistrate Tang Ju was very satisfied. When he returned home, he told everyone he met how delicious the stinky tofu was and that it was a must-try.
The county magistrate is the parent official of a county, and his words soon caused a stir throughout the county.
There is an endless stream of guests coming here because of its reputation.
At first, they were frightened by the stench and dared not eat it, but when they thought of the county magistrate's words, they pinched their noses and put it in their mouths...
This meal is amazing.
Word spreads from one person to ten people, from ten to a hundred, and more people come.
Until all the stinky tofu is sold out.
…
Liu Huixiang pursed her lips. Su Xian's gaze made her feel uncomfortable.
But somehow, she just... straightened up.
Perhaps, it was because she suddenly realized behind the kitchen door yesterday that she and Su Xian were a perfect match.
This is a secret love!
Although she had experienced several failed marriages, Liu Huixiang never stopped fantasizing about a happy married life, even though she had once lied to herself to Zhang Cuihua, "I will never get married in my life!"
She had accumulated years of tenderness and affection.
Now it's about to overflow.
Furthermore, Liu Huixiang is a normal adult woman whose hormones are not secreted under human control, so her tenderness and love are inevitably mixed with many shameful fantasies.
She herself did not dare to face these fantasies.
Su Xian's slightly aggressive gaze was like a needle that pierced her once, but was immediately healed by tenderness, and then pierced again, and was healed again...
Repeatedly like this, ups and downs, I can’t stop!
Therefore, she did not blame Su Xian for looking inappropriately.
This feeling is like a man dressed very handsomely, walking on the street and being surrounded by beautiful women exclaiming and staring at him. The bold gazes of the beautiful women will make him feel happy instead of saying, "Shame on you!"
Of course, only Su Xian can get Liu Huixiang's forgiveness.
If any other man dared to look at her like that, she would have ordered Zhang Cuihua to take action long ago.
…
Liu Huixiang calmed down and said with a smile, "Sir, you are wrong. Although there were many people who tried the food yesterday, there were also many returning customers. At ten cents per serving, we sold a total of three thousand cents!"
"Three thousand coins?!" Su Xian was surprised.
"Not bad, after deducting the cost, the net profit is about 2,000 coins!"
Liu Huixiang's beautiful eyes were filled with admiration. "It takes more than ten days to earn 2,000 Wen just by making soft tofu, but with stinky tofu, I earned so much in just one day, and there were so many people trying it out."
"The root of all this comes from the young master's stinky tofu!" She smiled brightly, like a hundred flowers blooming.
In the past, when she was a young lady in her parents' home, she was also ignorant of the sufferings of the people.
Later, I was kicked out of my home and realized that money is not easy to come by and that life is hard for people at the bottom of society.
It is because she understands this principle that she can appreciate the value of stinky tofu. One day's work is equivalent to more than ten days of making tender tofu.
Not easy!
"It's actually nothing..." Su Xian smiled and shook his head. In his opinion, it was not a big deal. It was just enough to solve the problem of food and clothing.
"Mr. Su, don't underestimate yourself. I didn't expect that stinky tofu could make so much money. This is amazing!"
While pushing the millstone, Zhang Cuihua interrupted, "My lady and I will make more stinky tofu in the future, so we won't have to work so hard."
She still had something in her heart that she hadn't said: "Mr. Su is a capable man, so it's not a bad idea to entrust the young lady to you..."
