Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 152 Returning Customers

Su Yue was filled with doubts and couldn't help but wonder who this Imperial Censor Li was and why he had come to her.

She frowned slightly, trying hard to recall.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me, and I seemed to remember something.

Oh! By the way, the gossip circulating all over the street today is about the affairs of Imperial Censor Li's family.

I heard that his deceased grandmother has miraculously come back to life.

Logically speaking, he should be at home keeping company right now, so why is he here? It's really puzzling.

"Alright, since we're here, let's bring the person in!" After thinking for a moment, Su Yue decided to meet the person first.

Not long after, a man who looked to be about forty years old and had a beard walked in.

The man was dressed in official robes, and his expression showed slight tension and anxiety.

As soon as the man entered the door, he knelt down on both knees without hesitation and kowtowed heavily to Su Yue.

He respectfully said, "Greetings, Immortal Envoy. I apologize for my unauthorized visit and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Please forgive me!"

Su Yue was truly surprised that this person would kneel down and pay respects so abruptly, but her face did not show the slightest sign of panic.

With a gentle wave of her sleeve, a powerful yet gentle spiritual force surged forth, lifting the kneeling Imperial Censor Li up like an invisible giant hand.

Imperial Censor Li felt as if he were being held tightly by a pair of gentle yet powerful hands, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free.

Left with no other choice, he had to slowly stand up and sit down on the stone bench opposite Su Yue as instructed.

Imperial Censor Li stammered for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

He inwardly groaned: What should I do? Should I really admit that I came here to ask for vegetables?

If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off, it'll be so embarrassing!

At this moment, Su Yue, sitting opposite him, looked at Imperial Censor Li's constipated appearance and couldn't help but feel very surprised.

His face changed color rapidly, sometimes pale and sometimes green, like a chameleon.

Su Yue wondered with suspicion: What exactly is this person?

What important thing could it be that you have to be so hesitant and reluctant to speak?

If there's nothing urgent, then hurry back home and don't waste any more time here.

After all, her stomach was already growling with hunger.

Strangely enough, after gathering food in the space during this period, Su Yue discovered that not only was the food extremely delicious and unforgettable, but after eating it, she could also feel a slight increase in the spiritual energy within her body.

Originally, the fruits and vegetables grown in these spaces were slightly tastier than similar products from the outside world, but they weren't quite as delicious as they are now.

Could it be because of the effects of the spiritual spring water after the recent space upgrade? I never expected it to have such an effect.

Just as Su Yue was immersed in thinking about the strange changes in food in the space, she heard a stuttering voice coming from the other side.

“Well…that…” Imperial Censor Li stammered for a long time, but Su Yue still couldn’t understand what he was trying to say.

Finally, Su Yue, who had been waiting patiently, became a little impatient: "Imperial Censor Li, if you have something to say, then just say it frankly!"

Such evasiveness and hesitation are truly worrying.

At first, Imperial Censor Li looked troubled, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally...

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and adopted a reckless attitude, saying loudly, "To be honest, the old lady in my family has been unwell recently. She has lost her appetite and can hardly swallow a single bite of food."

However, just yesterday, our household received a gift of vegetables from your Zhaixinglou restaurant. The servants carefully cooked them into a vegetable porridge and served it to the old lady.

Who would have thought that the old lady would be so fond of this vegetable porridge, drinking several large bowls in one go!

"But then a little misunderstanding happened..." He paused slightly, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Then, Imperial Censor Li continued, "This morning, the old lady woke up and immediately complained of being hungry, clamoring for more porridge."

So the cooks in the mansion hurriedly prepared the porridge according to yesterday's recipe, but no matter what they made, the old lady shook her head and said it didn't suit her taste, insisting on drinking the same vegetable porridge as yesterday.

Unfortunately, all the food from yesterday has been used up, which is really a dilemma!

Left with no other choice, I had to bite the bullet and come to the fairy messenger for help, hoping to get some more vegetables to take back and satisfy the old lady's appetite.

Of course, I won't ask for it for nothing. If the celestial envoy has any needs, just tell me, and I will do my utmost to send someone to deliver it to you.

Hearing this, Su Yue couldn't help but smile. Look, she had only just given away the vegetables she grew in her own yard, and in the blink of an eye, she had already gained repeat customers.

It seems that these vegetables, grown with water rich in spiritual energy from the space, truly possess extraordinary charm.

Its vibrant color, refreshing aroma, and unparalleled taste are naturally incomparable to other ordinary dishes!

"If you want the dishes from yesterday, that's fine too..." Su Yue said slowly and deliberately.

However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the impatient Imperial Censor Li: "Immortal Envoy, please just say what you want."

Hey! Why is this person always so impatient, always interrupting others?

And they even shamelessly claimed that they could have anything they wanted. Look at how much they were bragging!

Oh dear! Compared to that boastful old man Luo, he's even better!

If Su Yue were to ask for the stars and the moon right now, let's see what he would do.

However, if it weren't for his face, flushed with anxiety...

And considering that his elderly mother was eagerly awaiting his return with groceries, Su Yue might actually want to play a trick on this man who liked to make boastful promises.

Alright, alright, let's let him off this time, consider it an act of kindness.

But if this guy continues to brag like this in the future, then we'll have to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

“Hey! Censor Li, you’re being too polite. Do you see over there?” Su Yue smiled and raised her hand, gently pointing towards the vegetable garden.

Then he continued in a gentle voice, "I'll have Qiaoyun bring you a small vegetable basket later."

"When the time comes, you can pick any vegetables you like from the garden, fill a whole basket, and take it home. It will only cost ten taels of silver."

Imperial Censor Li stood there, silently considering all the possible scenarios.

He rehearsed in his mind again and again what he would say to the other party when they made an exorbitant demand.

Be prepared to launch a fierce counterattack immediately if the other party makes excessive demands.
