Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who under his guidance, seeing his eyes slightly narrowed, comfortable like a kitten whose fur had been smoothed, the corner of his lips gently curved up in a gentle arc, and he softly said, “About twenty taels of silver were earned.”
Chen Xing’s eyes suddenly widened, somewhat unbelievably turning his head to look at Gu Lang behind him, and said in surprise, “That much?”
“That’s right ah.” Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s glowing eyes, and felt that even his little money-grubbing look made him feel that he was somehow cute, “After all, the people who came here today are prominent people, so it’s not surprising at all that they were able to buy so much.”
Hearing Gu Lang’s explanation, Chen Xing immediately became happy, hugging his hand and said, “When our stewed meat is sold out, we will be able to make a huge amount of money. By the way, I made a deal with Grandpa Xu and the others, so that when they deliver rice to us, I will find a place in the corner of our shop to sell their rice, and then teach them how to cook it, so that their rice can be sold at a good price, which is also a way of saying thank you to him for ‘sending charcoal in snowy weather—provide timely help this time’.”
As Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing’s words, he did not have an impatient look on his face, and always wore a faint smile, “Hn, it’s good that you’ve made up your mind.”
Seeing Gu Lang’s unconditional support for himself, Chen Xing felt more and more happy.
At the same time, the Chen family.
Elder Master Chen sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, his eyes staring at Butler Wu who came to report, his voice was cold as he said, “You say it again!”
Butler Wu faced Old Master Chen’s angry eyes and braced himself as he said: “Lao Ye, the people we sent to make trouble were found. They were knocked out in the alley in their backyard, and the top of them was covered by linen, if not for the sound of their grunts, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t have been able to find them there. Now, I’ve sent them all to the hospital, and I don’t think they’ll be able to come out for a while.”
“Good for nothing, you still have the face to say it!” Chen Lao Ye was very angry or burned with anger as he threw the teapot in his hand towards the housekeeper and roared: “So many of you went over to smash the shop, but not only did you not let them have any loss, instead you made yourselves into such a bad appearance. How come you guys are so useless?!”
Butler Wu did not say a word and endured the scolding of Master Chen. How many people in that shop, they also already asked clearly about it, the people they sent are also experts. But like this, they sent more than ten people, yet they were unexpectedly injured. This is really strange.
Just as Butler Wu was silently deliberating in his heart (keeping his criticism or opinion to himself), Elder Master Chen also calmed down, he sat down and looked at the butler in front of him, and said in a deep voice: “How is their banquet today?”
Butler Wu thought of the scenes he saw today while squatting, and then looked at Old Master Chen who had just calmed down above him, and was a little hesitant whether to say it or not.
“Say it ah! What can’t be said?!” Since the last time Chen Ling Er’s whole face is full of blood when she returned, knowing that she went there, Chen Lao Ye’s temper has not been good, now seeing the Chen family restaurant did not close down as he expected, yet the business more and more flourishing everyday, his emotions becoming more and more out of control.
Butler Wu bowed his head and cautiously said, “Those dignitaries look very satisfied.”
Hearing Butler Wu say this, Old Master Chen’s face became more and more ugly, looking at him, unbelievably as he said, “How could that be? Are you mistaken?”
Butler Wu looked at Master Chen’s unsightly face and knew that his next words might not be pleasing to him, and he might even be questioned again by Master Chen, but he still told him what he had seen and heard.
“Report back Your Honour, what I have said is all true. I squatted at the door for a long time, and saw those nobles coming out from inside, all of them were happy, and even left with a lot of things, close enough to even smell the aroma, which should be the food used to entertain those nobles.”
Chen Lao Ye’s face instantly turned incomparably strange and then thought of the rumors he had heard, the people said that the proprietor of the Chen family’s small restaurant really had such good luck, and had won a wild boar king. Could these rumors be true? Is that why he used the wild boar meat to make things that satisfied so many noblemen with difficult or tricky tastes?
Chen Lao Ye’s face immediately turned blue (ghastly pale). What the hell, how come their Chen family didn’t have such good luck? How come they let that wild seed off lightly? {give sb. unmerited advantage}
For a moment, the air in the room was quiet, Butler Wu looked at the Old Master Chen who was still angry, yet not coming out, only waiting for the next command from the Old Master Chen.
Old Master Chen was angry for a while, and then remembered another thing. With a bit of questioning tone as he asked: “Now there are still rice shops that sell rice to them?”
Butler Wu hung his head slightly and said in a low voice, “Those rice shops have all said their goodbyes and will not sell rice to them.”
“Then that’s good, then you should arrange for people to intercept the rice they’re transporting from the Lin County. I’d like to see how long they can hold out without rice in their shops!”
