Chapter 55 Chaos erupts in the mansion, and he joins in.
"Boss, ten of these egg pancakes, and some elm seed steamed buns!"
Dou Wei ran to the front of the line with great pride and placed an order with the stall owner.
The previously noisy and chattering group suddenly fell silent.
Hundreds of eyes were fixed on the young man standing in front of the stall.
Gao Mengli looked up at this "old acquaintance".
Isn't this yesterday's "matchmaker"? What brings him here?
This "matchmaker" was actually a government official, and the question of whether or not to grant him "special privileges" left them somewhat bewildered.
Dou Weiyi coughed as he noticed the proprietress staring at him, secretly pleased with himself.
He must be too handsome; even the landlady was stunned!
"Oh, wait over there for a moment!" But it wasn't the landlady who was enthusiastic, but the owner, Lin Xi.
Dou Weiyi was slightly taken aback. Looking at Lin Xi's eyes shining at him, he didn't think much of it and nodded.
"Who are you! Why aren't you in line?"
The first customer in line was a little annoyed. He had come to the city today and was forced to wait in line by this food stall.
But then someone cut in line, and that was intolerable!
He then glared angrily at Dou Weiyi, a torrent of profanities about to spill from his mouth.
Dou Weiyi wasn't annoyed. After all, he often acted as a matchmaker outside and rarely attended court sessions, so it was normal that others didn't recognize him.
He turned to gesture to Ruan Dan beside him.
Tell this diner to shut up.
Ruan Dan walked up to the customer, expressionlessly took out an official token, and pressed it against the customer's nose.
The diners were so wide-eyed they couldn't even see what it was. They tactically took two steps back before they could make out the official token.
The diner's face instantly changed from a deep red to a weak white, his lips trembled slightly, his face full of flattery, yet he stammered, "Sir...sir, I was blind to your greatness, please...please go ahead."
Qian Yan'er and her group, who were in line, peeked out.
When the arrogant Dou Weiyi arrives, what's the point of queuing up?
He immediately led a few people forward, stood next to Dou Weiyi, and said in an annoyed tone, "Dou Weiyi, add our share too."
Dou Weiyi raised an eyebrow, only then remembering that he had come to find these "unemployed vagrants"!
Do you know who you're talking to?
Who are you ordering with that commanding tone?
Dou Weiyi rolled her eyes at Qian Yan'er, annoyed. "Go queue up yourself. Who are you ordering around?"
The four thought they had been so "amiable" that it was a sure thing, but now it had turned into "chasing shadows" with no results.
The four looked at Dou Weiyi with disbelief, as if they were looking at a "faithless man," and with resentment.
"Dou Weiyi, you buy it for us. At worst, I'll let you take another look!" Buck-toothed Yu swayed her waist as she stepped forward, giving Dou Weiyi a "charming" look.
This toss was no small matter; it affected both enemy and friendly forces, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Goosebumps twitched and fell to the ground.
Lin Xi looked up at Dou Weiyi, who was masculine, handsome, and had an outstanding temperament, and her eyes changed.
Damn, this man actually has a taste for this.
It's really eye-catching.
Seeing the way others looked at him, from awe to "meaningful," Dou Weiyi almost lost her temper on the spot.
He quickly waved his hand, took two steps back, and moved away from the bumbling, self-unaware oddball, "Go away, who wants to see you? Buy it, I'll buy it right now, okay?"
He quickly turned around and looked at Lin Xi, "Boss, add ten more egg pancakes and 20 steamed buns."
After saying that, he counted out the coins and handed them to Lin Xi.
"Oh..." Lin Xi looked at Dou Weiyi's meaningful gaze and instantly realized that's how it is.
This person might have vision problems; they just have a particular taste for this.
She lowered her head and continued working, no longer glancing at the "handsome guy."
Dou Weiyi was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
Upon returning, these individuals were all assigned to perform forced labor in Ju'an District.
They're so idle, day after day.
Gao Mengli, expressionless, handed the prepared egg pancakes and steamed buns to Dou Weiyi.
"Here you go, this is your share!"
Before Dou Weiyi and Ruan Dan could react, Miss Tooth's father snatched the things from Gao Mengli's hands and ran towards the county town using his light-footed skills.
The remaining three also used their light-footed skills to disappear in an instant.
Dou Weiyi was shocked to see that he hadn't even had a chance to eat yet, and the food had already been snatched away by the group. He immediately took Ruan Dan and used their light-footed skills to chase after them.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi watched as the group took off from the ground, their mouths agape in shock.
Good heavens! These ancient people can fly!
Da Niu's eyes lit up! Wow, he really admired that man from before; not only was he fast, but his takeoff was also incredibly cool!
These guys look like they're pretty strong.
Gao Mengli turned her head blankly to look at Zhang Biao, who was picking his nose and scratching Yan'er beside him.
Doesn't that mean someone who can take on four opponents is even more powerful?!
When Zhang Biao saw Gao Mengli looking at him, he grinned at her, revealing a green elm leaf between his teeth.
She quickly looked away and lowered her head to do her work.
This person is so slovenly...it's an eyesore.
Dou Weiyi and Ruan Dan followed the four back to the mansion. There they saw his wife and four concubines, Wu, Gu, Feng, and Deng, fighting with Qian Yan'er and the other three for the food they had brought back.
"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"
Dou Weiyi and Ruan Dan rushed into the courtyard.
"Stop! Stop! All of you, stop!"
Everyone stopped and stared at Dou Weiyi, still clutching their food tightly.
After glancing at him and seeing that it was Dou Weiyi, the group quickly resumed their fight, showing no intention of paying him any attention.
Dou Weiyi had no choice but to join the "battle".
After a few moments, everyone finally stopped and obediently stood aside.
Dou Weiyi, panting heavily, looked at everyone with exasperation: "Can't you all just calm down? Fighting like this over a little food, what kind of behavior is this!"
Madam Dou straightened her clothes and resumed her usual dignified demeanor!
It was as if she wasn't the one who had hit the hardest and shouted the loudest just now.
She glared at Dou Weiyi and said, "Master, there are only 60 taels of silver left in the family coffers. These people brought back food, so of course we have to eat too. We can save a meal to cut costs."
But these people looked like they wanted to eat alone.
She had no choice but to take action.
If she weren't worried about the food she brought back falling on the ground and going to waste, making her hesitant to act, she would have already given those guys a good beating.
Dou Wei pressed down with one hand, then turned to look at Qian Yan'er and the others, "Aren't you going to hand it over? If you keep doing this, I'll confiscate your breakfast money from now on."
The four exchanged glances and reluctantly placed the food heavily on the table in the courtyard.
He looked like he was accusing Dou Weiyi of being a "big poor wretch".
Madam Dou was delighted when she saw the food on the table. She quickly went over and untied the banana leaf.
Instantly, the sealed, unparalleled aroma spread to every corner of the Dou residence.
It shot straight into their nostrils, burrowed into their bodies, and pounded their skulls.
Who could resist that!
Aunt Feng, taking advantage of her plump figure, rushed forward, grabbed four pancakes in one hand and three steamed buns in the other, then turned around and lightly jumped onto the roof.
With her mouth watering, she took a big bite, and the burst of delicious flavor made her exclaim, "Wow~ so delicious!"
Only then did everyone react.
The crowd, which had just quieted down, started looting again using force.
In an instant, the Dou residence was thrown into chaos once again.
"Stop, stop, don't grab!" Dou Weiyi squeezed into the crowd, trying to quiet them down, but someone pushed him, sending him tumbling backward.
He got up, shoved back into the crowd, and reached in to rummage through.
He felt a warm sensation on his fingers, pulled hard, and took it out to find that he had torn off a small piece of the egg pancake.
The aroma made him eager to put it in his mouth.
Instantly, an unprecedented deliciousness assaulted his taste buds, causing his brain to shut down.
He urged him to rush in quickly, or there wouldn't be any left!
