“Aye, this subordinate will go prepare now, I will have them stand guard outside the city waiting for them to come back from buying rice, and on the road they must take, pretend to be robbers.”
Old Master Chen’s whole face was gloomy, when Butler Wu received the order to go, he raised his eyes to the sky ( look at the time of day, as indicated by the color of the sky) and snorted a laugh, “I would like to see, how long can you be so lucky?”
Just when Old Master Chen was imagining how Chen Xing’s face would show pain after their rice was robbed, an urgent footsteps came from outside, and only when he got closer did he see that it was the thin silk cloth shopkeeper under him.
Old Master Chen looked at his panicked look, raised his eyelids, and in a tone of dissatisfaction as he said: “You are so anxious for what? If there is something, say it properly.”
The visitor took several mouthfuls of fresh air, and only after his breath was stabilized did he raise his eyes to look at Old Master Chen in front of him and reported, “It’s not good, Master! The batch of silk that the Zhao family promised to cooperate with us in supplying has now gone back on their promise, they are not going to make it for us, what should we do ah?”
His originally narrowing eyes, the leisurely sitting Old Master Chen, hearing this, immediately jumped up from the deck chair, he then incredibly said: “What did you say? Quickly tell me the details. You are not allowed to have the slightest concealment.”

Chen Xing, who was busy, did not think at all that Old Master Chen still would want to intercept their rice from Lin Xian after he cut off their supply channels in the county, but he did not care even if he knew about it because he is really busy right now.
Since they invited those dignitaries to the banquet that day, the next day there were curious people who came to ask those dignitaries what they ate and what food they took away. They took the opportunity to launch their stewed meat made from wild boar meat, with the signboard of limited supply. Sold out so there is no more.
Some were curious, some were fond of good food or gluttonous, some did not believe that it was so delicious, one after another bought some back, as long as it was eaten, there was no one who disliked it. So, from that day onwards, the small restaurant’s stewed meat has become popular throughout the county, and every day endless people buy it.
Several thin slices of meat can be taken home to share with your family, but in the shop, you can also ask for a bowl of fragrant rice with a dipping sauce but you need to pay money for it, mixed together to eat is simply great, some people can eat three big bowls of rice alone in this way.
Ji Yi is one of these members, he originally lived in the East District far away from this small restaurant. In the past, although he has heard of the name of this small restaurant,he has never come.
Until a few days ago, he heard about the banquet of this small restaurant. Those invited nobles all eat up, hold the curiosity mentality to try. As a result, they fell in love with this new dish, and he thought that if it was accompanied by three or two small wines, the taste would be even awesome!
From that day on, Ji Yi would come here to eat whenever he had time, and if he didn’t, he would even ask someone to help him bring one home. However, when he ate at home, he always felt that there was something missing in the flavor, until today when he came back to eat again he tasted it again as he ate. It seems that the reason he didn’t like it at home was because of the rice.
Ji Yi hurriedly greeted the waiter beside him and awkwardly asked, “Why does the rice here smell so good?”
Ji Yi originally thought he could only get the shop name, after saying this sentence, he saw the young waiter in front of him revealed a bright smile, smile that made him a little panic, afterwards he then heard him said, “Guests, do you want to go and see how we cook this rice?”
Looking at the smile of the waiter, Ji Yi doings of ghosts and gods— coincidentally curious as he nodded, followed the waiter to their backyard, and then saw the original empty corner away from the pile of bags of rice, in front of a few things, a tall and strong man is standing there with a tense face, meticulously explaining to everyone who came to soak the rice, wash the rice, as well as the process of steaming the rice, and at the end, he even saw a bucket-like rice steaming utensil.
When Ji Yi came back to his senses, he had already bought a ‘neither too big nor too small or just right’ steaming bucket, as well as ten catties of rice. He was standing at the back door, surrounded by people who had bought the same things as him.
Ji Yi looked down at the things in his hand, and thought back to why he had impulsively bought so many things in the middle of that man’s not-interesting or pleasant to listen to voice? In the end, he attributed it to the fact that the barrel of rice steaming next to him must have smelled too good!
Ji Yi laughed softly. Forget it, he’d better go back and try to see if the rice was as tasty as he said it was. If it is really as good as that, he will come next time to buy more.
Chen Xing ended today’s business, he went to the front desk happily to verify the accounting records with Gu Lang. He looked at the account book, very happily as he said:
“You see, we made a batch of steaming barrels and put them for sale in the shop, and only gave out a venue for Da Niu and the others to sell their rice, and we can still make a profit from the difference in price. This is mutually beneficial, everyone can make money, wait until the rice sells out of fame, when the time comes, take it out, you are not afraid that no one will buy it, and the other people in their village can also be prosperous.”
Because Chen Xing knew how that rice should be shelled (remove the husk) , and how to clean and cook it, making their original rice which was a second-rate product all of a sudden become a superior product, and making the original rice was disliked by people, all of a sudden, it became the object of people’s delight.
“Hn.” Gu Lang looked at the elated Chen Xing, his eyes filled with tenderness. In fact, if it wasn’t for Chen Xing, their rice might never have been asked for, and it would never have been as popular as it is now. His Xing Xing ah, really a very good person ah!
