BXBX NOVEL Chapter 137 - Happy Cooperation
Chapter 137: Happy Cooperation
Shopkeeper Cui had given Yu Wan detailed information about the Wei family. For example, Master Xiao Wu was Old Mrs. Wei’s nephew, and Master Xiao Wu was the sworn brother of the Grand Marshal, Xiao Zhenting. His status was noble, and someone he called “Big Brother” was probably not an ordinary businessman.
The coachman lifted the curtain and a burly man walked down. He looked to be in his early thirties and was in high spirits. However, since he was the “big brother” that Master Xiao Wu mentioned, he was not as young as he looked.
His aura was different from any businessman Yu Wan had ever seen. It was easy for him to suppress the other party in terms of aura.
He was a domineering person, Yu Wan gave her first impression.
After Master Qin got out of the car, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth followed closely behind. He was wearing a blue shirt and held a folding fan in his hand. His skin was as white as jade and he had a flirtatious expression. His peach blossom eyes were clear and bright, and he was handsome.
Master Xiao Wu introduced, “Miss Yu, this is my Big Brother Qin. People call him Master Qin. This is his nephew, Qin Zixu.”
His nephew’s surname was also Qin??Although Yu Wan was puzzled, she didn’t ask further. She calmly greeted, “Master Qin, Young Master Qin.”
It was rare to see a girl who could remain calm in front of Master Qin, let alone a small village girl. However, the uncle and nephew did not show much surprise. After all, a person who could be praised by Master Xiao Wu was definitely not an ordinary person.
Master Qin smiled. “Miss Yu.”
“Please enter.” Yu Wan welcomed the three of them into the house. Master Xiao Wu was already considered an old acquaintance. He strode ahead with Master Qin and Qin Zixu following unhurriedly.
Compared to this unfathomable Master Qin, Yu Wan was more concerned about Young Master Qin, who was smiling but not saying anything. She felt that this man was too devilish. His eyes stared at her as if he wanted to see through her heart.
Yu Wan inadvertently turned around and happened to meet Qin Zixu’s gaze. Was this guy actually staring at her?
Qin Zixu was caught red-handed. Not only was he not embarrassed, he even smiled brightly.
......
Yu Wan naturally could not admit defeat. After calming herself down, she nodded politely and brought the three of them into the house.
Aunt and the brothers had already cleaned up the mess on the ground. The broom was also hidden. Tea was brewed and food was served. “Your father went to the village headman’s house. I’ll go call him.”
With that, she dragged her bruised and swollen youngest son away.
Yu Feng stayed behind to deal with the business with Yu Wan.
Through Master Xiao Wu’s introduction, the siblings found out about Master Qin’s background and could not help but be shocked.
This Master Qin was actually the Vice Alliance Master of the Jiangzuo Merchant Union. The assets under his name were all over Jiangzuo, and the restaurants and tea houses were the most outstanding.
Master Qin had always wanted to expand his business into the Capital, but with an industry giant like the Tianxiang Restaurant, it was very difficult for them to make a name for themselves. The Tianxiang Restaurant was in a precarious situation and its reputation had plummeted now that the scandal of Chef Yang and Xu Chengxuan had appeared. It was the perfect opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation.
Master Qin had come prepared and had long heard about the dispute between her uncle and the Tianxiang Restaurant. He said, “The Tianxiang Restaurant doesn’t clear Chef Yu’s name. Our Drunken Immortal Pavilion can.”
Drunken Immortal Pavilion. This name was shameless enough.
Yu Wan said, “You want to buy our family’s five signature dishes?”
“No.” Master Qin smiled. “I only said that I wanted to clear Chef Yu’s name. I didn’t say that I wanted to buy his recipes. After all, it was sold by Tianxiang Restaurant. Wouldn’t we be stir-frying the leftovers of Tianxiang Restaurant if we sell it at Drunken Immortal Pavilion?”
Master Qin was a noble person. It wasn’t enough that he could earn money. He also had to earn money with style.
Yu Wan only began to admire him at this moment. “Master Qin won’t clear my uncle’s name for nothing.”
“I’ve eaten your stinky tofu. I want to buy it.”
“I’m not selling the formula. I can supply you.”
“Miss Yu, why don’t you refuse after hearing the price?”
“Master Qin, why don’t you want to try a new taste before considering the price?”
Master Qin had been in the business world for many years, but this was the first time he was choked by a little girl.
Qin Zixu looked at Yu Wan with interest and said to Master Qin, “Uncle, I didn’t go to Mrs. Wei’s birthday banquet. I haven’t tasted Miss Yu’s cooking yet.”
Yu Wan looked at Qin Zixu without batting an eyelid. Was it an illusion? This fellow was actually speaking up for her?
Master Qin patted his nephew’s shoulder. “Alright, since you want to eat, then I’ll have to trouble Miss Yu to cook.”
Previously, Yu Wan had made White Stinky Tofu at the Wei family’s house. Now, she had used mother’s liquid made from leek and fermented it into Black Stinky Tofu. Not only did it smell bad, but it also smelled bad when eaten. When it was eaten, it smelled even worse.
She made three flavors. One was without stuffing, the other was the fermented bean curd juice filling, and the last was the sweet and spicy diced radish filling.
Master Qin was crying from the indescribable stench. If he hadn’t eaten white stinky tofu before, just the appearance of this black tofu would have scared him away.
Master Xiao Wu could not wait any longer. He picked up a piece of stinky tofu with fermented bean curd juice. The tofu was crispy and hot, and the fermented bean curd was salty, spicy, and cold. When he took a bite, the crispy on the outside and tender on the inside intertwined, making him cry out in pleasure.
Master Qin first ate one himself before giving it to his nephew.
Qin Zixu’s throat moved, as if he was extremely resistant to this smelly and ugly thing. But who asked him to want it? He had to eat the tofu he wanted no matter what.
“How does it taste, Young Master Qin?” Yu Wan asked with a smile.
“Oh—” Qin Zixu was already on his fourth bite. His mouth was so busy that he couldn’t speak.
Master Xiao Wu went to take more, but Qin Zixu brought the entire plate over.
Master Xiao Wu reached out his arm again. Qin Zixu decisively turned around and protected the plate in his arms to eat alone.
Qin Zixu ate happily, his cheeks bulging. He was also good-looking, so at a glance, he looked like a cute and tempting little fat squirrel.
Qin Zixu couldn’t stop eating. He was afraid that Master Xiao Wu would snatch his food. In the end, he actually sat on the threshold with his plate and ate. Master Qin instantly regretted bringing this embarrassing brat out.
The worst thing to do when discussing business was to be at a disadvantage first. Without a doubt, Qin Zixu had pulled his leg well. However, putting aside Qin Zixu, Master Qin was also very satisfied with the new taste. But what did this girl say? She didn’t sell the formula and only supplied them?
“Can you guarantee that you’ll only provide for me?” Master Qin asked.
Yu Wan said, “That depends on Master Qin’s orders. I can’t possibly only supply you when Master Qin only wants a few hundred pounds a day. That way, the workers in our workshop will starve to death.”
Master Qin snorted. “Little girl, my Drunken Immortal Pavilion hasn’t opened in the Capital yet. Don’t think that there are only one or two. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to hand over the goods and affect the business of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.”
The Drunken Immortal Pavilion was not famous in the Capital. If it went to Jiangzuo, it would be Master Qin’s world!
