Seeing Fang Tianliu run out again, Zhao Zhan shook his head, washed the meat, and marinated the meat.

A stove had already been set up at the entrance of the shop, but two iron pots were still missing.

He went to the grocery store and bought two stoves. When the time came, there would always be boiling water in the stoves. When customers came, he could directly put the noodles into the pot without wasting time.

…

In addition to the stove, Zhao Zhan also ordered a pile of pots, bowls, ladles, and other miscellaneous items. He pointed to the location of the shop for the shopkeeper to send them over and then went to the carpenter’s shop.

“Sir Zhao, are you here for the tables and chairs in the shop?” When Master Chen saw Zhao Zhan, he put down his work and went up to him. “You might have to wait for another three days. Recently, the shop has been busy with the furniture that Madam Zhao had instructed us to. When my apprentices are done, they will immediately make tables and chairs for you.”

“Three days is fine. There are too many things we have asked you to do. We have set the opening date to be six days later. I came today to tell you that you must use the best wood for the furniture that my wife wants. If you don’t have enough silver, you can just tell me. Also, can you help me make this thing?”

As Zhao Zhan spoke, he handed over a piece of paper. “I don’t know how to draw, so I can only draw things based on my feelings. However, I remember clearly what my wife told me. I can tell you about it now, Master Chen.

“This thing?”

“I hope you can help me make it, but don’t tell my wife for the time being.”

“I understand.”

Master Chen nodded his head repeatedly. After asking Zhao Zhan about the style he wanted, he patted his chest and accepted the order.

After this matter was settled, Zhao Zhan had just stepped out of the carpenter’s shop when he was stopped by two people. “May I ask if you have ever seen the girl in the portrait?”

Could it be his lover’s beloved family?

Zhao Zhan looked at the portrait carefully.

The girl in the portrait looked to be around ten years old, with a round face.

The artist’s technique was excellent, and he drew the girl’s angry expression on the paper. It was just that there was too much of a difference between the age of his lover and this child.

“I’ve never seen her before.” Zhao Zhan shook his head and said seriously, “When did you lose this little girl?”

“About two months ago.” The two rolled up the portrait. “But we only have a portrait of the girl when she was young. According to her current age, she should be seventeen years old. Have you seen a seventeen-year-old girl who looks like this child?”

Zhao Zhan compared the little girl’s portrait in his mind with the tip of his lover.

There was some resemblance between their eyes and brows, but there seemed to be a big difference overall. He was a little uncertain.

“Have you seen her before?”

“No.” Zhao Zhan looked at the two of them cautiously and asked tentatively, “Do you two have any other information about this girl? Maybe I’ve seen her before but can’t recall it at the moment. For example, the color of the clothes she was wearing when she went missing, and how tall was the girl?”

“She should be wearing a red festive dress. There’s also a nanny beside her. She’s about fifty years old.”

None of them matched his lover’s description.

“I’ll remember that. If I see this girl, I’ll tell her that her family is looking for her.”

“There’s no need, no need.” The two of them waved their hands. “If you tell me, you’ll just be looking for a different path. It’s fine if you haven’t seen her before. You don’t have to do anything.”

Seeing the sudden change in the two’s attitudes, Zhao Zhan’s original intention of secretly bringing his lover to walk around the two was immediately dispelled.

Who would be afraid of others knowing about their search?
