Chapter 935: Freshness-enhancing Powder Controversy
Li Mingxia's words were too blunt.
Even if Yi Xuan did not have the same favorable impression of Li Mingxia as Yi Shuishui did, he would definitely not think that Li Mingxia was a person who would forget his ancestors for a thousand taels of silver.
It’s not that I know Li Mingxia well, but because these one thousand taels of silver are nothing in front of Li Mingxia.
The reason why Yi Xuan mentioned the one thousand taels of silver was because he felt that Li Mingxia treated Yi Shuishui sincerely. Even if there was no one thousand taels of silver, Li Mingxia would definitely give the flavor-enhancing powder to Yi Shuishui. But wouldn't this be taking advantage of Li Mingxia?
Naturally, Yi Xuan also knew that he had reacted too strongly to the oil incident just now, and he wanted to apologize.
But I didn't expect that Li Mingxia not only rejected me directly, but also said something so unpleasant.
"Brother! Didn't you hear Xia Xia say that this is a secret recipe passed down from their ancestors? If you have something passed down from your ancestors, can you just sell it to others casually? You are really forcing others to do something against their will and you don't even realize it!" Yi Shuishui was afraid that her brother would say something unpleasant, so she immediately spoke before Li Mingxia.
Yi Xuan knew that his sister was good to Li Mingxia, but he never thought she was good to this extent. He spoke without thinking.
What do you mean by can’t their family heirlooms be sold to others?
If the occasion was not wrong, Yi Xuan really wanted to ask Yi Shuishui what was on her mind, whether she still remembered her identity, and what the things passed down from her ancestors were in her family!
But looking at his sister's half-warning, half-pleading expression, Yi Xuan remained silent.
Li Mingxia didn't care about the lawsuit between Yi Shuishui and Yi Xuan at all. She simply looked down on Yi Xuan's attitude.
Although I know that the powerful and the wealthy have the highest status in this dynasty, I have been interrogated as a criminal without saying anything certain. If I really say something, will they take me away without caring about anything? Will they torture me all day and force me to answer whatever they want?
Countless times, really countless times, Li Mingxia felt that he had been assimilated, but countless times he was proven that he had not been assimilated. Deep down in his heart, he still could not accept these tacitly accepted rules, or rather, from the bottom of his heart, he hated and resisted them.
It's just that I can't say these words no matter what.
"What a pity! I was thinking of shamelessly paying one thousand taels to buy some. Fortunately, I spoke slowly, otherwise I would be the one who made Mingxia angry." Xiao Tianyue said with lingering fear.
"I am very self-aware. I am definitely not as prestigious as our Master Yi. If it were me, I would have been kicked out for the way Ming Xia treats Master Yi right now."
Xiao Tianyue deliberately spoke in a very exaggerated tone, with the purpose of giving both sides a way out.
He could occasionally be willful and not care what Yi Shuishui and Yi Xuan thought, but under his nose, he must absolutely protect Li Mingxia from being hated by Yi Xuan.
Li Mingxia naturally knew that Xiao Tian had good intentions, but this time, even if he had good intentions, Li Mingxia just wanted to say a few words to Yi Xuan!
Even if it's not possible openly, he can't say anything secretly, right?
"Do you want to try this flavor-enhancing powder? It happens that I still have half a bottle left. I'll give it to you. Although it won't last too long, if you only use it on two or three dishes a day, it should be fine for a few months. Although it doesn't seem like a lot, the beauty of this flavor-enhancing powder is that you only need a little bit to achieve the effect you want."
As he spoke, Li Mingxia took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, actually from the space. More than half of the flavor-enhancing powder in the bottle had been used. However, even with this small amount, if Xiao Tianyue only used it on one dish a day, it would be enough for a year.
When Yi Shuishui saw the small porcelain bottle again, she couldn't take her eyes off it.
Is that the freshness enhancing powder?
Yi Shuishui had no doubt at all whether this flavor-enhancing powder could make ordinary dishes delicious. This was made by Li Mingxia, how could it not taste good?
But why did Xia Xia only give it to Xiao Tianyue and not to herself?
It is understandable that she doesn't give the recipe, but since Xia Xia is willing to give out some ready-made flavor-enhancing powder, it means that Xia Xia is confident about it. Even if Xiao Tianyue wants to study this flavor-enhancing powder, there will be no results.
In that case, why not give yourself one?
Could it be that these are all that are left?
But even if these are all left, Xia Xia should give it to herself, not Xiao Tianyue!
"Xia Xia, give this flavor-enhancing powder to him and not to me. Do you dislike me? You clearly said that even if no one else has it, I will have it!" Yi Shuishui would not let herself suffer any grievance. Seeing that Li Mingxia had already picked up the chopsticks and was ready to continue eating, she spoke anxiously.
Xiao Tianyue was originally looking at the small porcelain bottle in his hand, cherishing it very much. When he heard Yi Shuishui say this, he quickly stuffed the flavoring powder into his arms.
Forget about other things, this is a good thing given by Ming Xia. Not to mention Yi Shuishui, even if Yi Xuan came to ask for it, I would not give it to him! Absolutely not!
Yi Shuishui was already anxious, and now when she saw Xiao Tianyue put the things away and acted as if he would never take them out again, she became even more anxious.
"Xia Xia! Look at him! Is he showing off to me on purpose? He has it and I don't! How can I stand this! Xia Xia!"
It is true that she really wanted the thing, but the most important point is that Yi Shuishui couldn't bear the fact that Li Mingxia didn't give her the thing but gave it to someone else instead. Could it be that in Xia Xia's eyes, she was not as important as Xiao Tianyue?
Li Mingxia picked up a piece of fish and put it into the bubbling porridge. He counted the time and when he reached fifteen, he took the fish out.
The thin fish slices are fully cooked and exude an enticing aroma.
Li Mingxia put the piece of fish into Zhang's bowl under Yi Shuishui's expectant gaze.
"Mom, try it. I carefully selected the fish today. It tastes delicious." Li Mingxia said to Zhang.
Although Yi Shuishui felt very uncomfortable, she could still accept it because Zhang was Li Mingxia's mother, and Yi Shuishui had already seen that Li Mingxia valued her mother very much.
"I still like you to have dinner with me in town. You only have me in your heart and eyes, so you won't do this." Yi Shuishui finally couldn't help it and complained in a low voice.
