Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 149 Outing (7)
"Is there any need to tell you?" Picking up the fruit plate on the table, she began eating without caring for anyone else.
"... Okay, then." Jueqing touched his nose, having run into a wall again.
"Xuxu, you..."
"Miss Feng." Spitting out a watermelon seed, she addressed Jueqing.
"... Xuxu, I know I was wrong. I should have told you when I left, but at that time..."
"Enough, excuses are just cover-ups. Didn’t you say you lost your memory? How did it come back all of a sudden? That was quick." She said, her lips curling sarcastically.
"... Uh, yeah, I don’t know how, but my memory just came back, hehe." With cold sweat on his forehead, he wondered why he felt so cold despite the hot weather. Jueqing braced himself, waiting for the ongoing criticism.
"Bluff, keep bluffing. Let’s see how long you can keep this up?" She got up and went to the edge of the Lotus Pond, grabbed some fish food, and scattered a handful into the water, watching the fish leap out and compete for the food.
"Xuxu, I had my reasons. You’ll understand someday." He sighed helplessly.
"Fine, we’ll talk about it later." She ignored Jueqing beside her and continued throwing fish food.
"Miss, see if this is the ice cream you talked about." Qiangwei approached with a small bowl of pink cream and asked her mistress.
Upon seeing it, Feng Xuxu realized it was far from what she had envisioned. Though pretty in color, the creamy sweetness melted softly in the mouth without a hint of coolness. Sigh, she had to reconsider.
"What if we add ice cubes?" Jueqing’s remark caught the pondering Feng Xuxu off guard.
Feng Xuxu turned back with a smile: "I didn’t expect you to be useful at a critical moment!"
"Hahaha, as long as I can help Xuxu, I’m willing to do anything!" Finally, she started speaking nicely to him.
"Look at you showing off." Turning her head, she instructed Qiangwei, "Go and ask the butler for some saltpeter."
"You guys go find a big tub and a small tub, I want to do an experiment," Yingsu and Baihe were ordered and left to find the items.
Half an hour later, Feng Xuxu watched as the water slowly cooled down and then began to freeze, grinning from ear to ear.
"Miss, miss... look, it’s really frozen!" Qiangwei was shocked to see the water in the tub turn to ice.
"Jueqing, come here, smash the ice for me. Qiangwei, take the crushed ice to the small kitchen and prepare a bowl. Place the ice at the bottom and put the cream on top."
Jueqing looked up to the sky, wordlessly feeling like he was being used for grunt work.
"What are you waiting for, hurry up." Seeing Jueqing still in a daze, Feng Xuxu slapped him to urge him on.
"Alright, get out of the way." He placed his hand on the rim of the tub, slightly exerting his Inner Strength, and all the ice in the tub shattered. Qiangwei grabbed a small basin and rushed to the small kitchen.
Feng Xuxu sat in the chair, anxiously awaiting the result when she finally saw Qiangwei carrying a tray with bowls of cream in various colors.
Not waiting for Qiangwei to put it down, she picked up a small bowl and began to taste it. Although it wasn’t perfect, it was passable, and it seemed she had another source of income to look forward to. Once decided, she took action.
"Yingsu, tell Shopkeeper Chen when you go to town this afternoon to buy a storefront in a busy area. I want to open a dessert house," Feng Xuxu declared happily.
In a flurry of activity, buying a shop and decorating it, everything was finally ready after ten days, only waiting for a good day to open for business.
"Little sister, you have your shop now, but what about the name?" Feng Xi looked around at the newly decorated shop, noting the only thing missing was a signboard.
Feng Xuxu slapped her forehead, she had forgotten. She laughed at herself, silly and embarrassed, for overlooking such an important detail. Thinking hard for a while, she finally came up with an acceptable name: "Dreamy Purple House, how about that?"
