Chapter 185: The Older the Wiser
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The three juniors in the private room instantly felt deep veneration. Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier it was.
Gu Yundong finally knew who Liu Wei had inherited his personality from. It seemed that Liu Yi would have a hard time in the future. Not only did he have to take care of his elder brother, but he also had to take care of his father.
Old Master Liu snorted proudly and walked to Liu Wei’s original seat. He sat down and said to him, “Where’s the white sugar? I haven’t seen it before. Show it to me.”
Liu Wei eagerly took the white sugar out of the cloth bag in the round vat in a large wooden basket in the corner.
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. You hid it too well.
Liu Wei scooped a little with a small bowl and placed it in front of Old Master Liu.
Old Master Liu immediately beamed with joy when he saw this. He twisted a little and put it in his mouth before nodding repeatedly. “Sweet, sweet, good, good.”
He turned to look at Gu Yundong with a smile, but quickly shook his head regretfully. “Actually, it’s not a bad idea to cooperate with the Liu family. You’re Wei’er’s friend, so Uncle Liu won’t take advantage of you.” As he spoke, he glared at his son resentfully. “How useless.”
They were clearly friends, and he knew her ability immediately. He did not know how to win over such a talent. What was the use of giving birth to such a son?
Gu Yundong could only say, “Of course I trust you, Uncle Liu. It’s just that white sugar has just been invented. It might not be a good thing no matter who takes it. But don’t worry, Uncle Liu. In the future, I’ll give you the cheapest price for the white sugar that the Liu family’s restaurants need.”
“Haha, that’s a deal.” Old Master Liu nodded. He also understood that this formula was indeed the most suitable to be offered to the Imperial Court.
As they were talking, a commotion suddenly came from downstairs.
Faintly, someone called out to Liu Wei, “Young Master Liu, how long are you going to hide in the private room? Come out, everyone is here.”
“That’s right. As a man, you can’t go back on your words. It’s just five shops, right? If you lose, so be it. What’s so horrible about it?”
“Young Master Liu, don’t tell me you were beaten up by your father and don’t dare to come out? Old Master Liu, you can’t stop Young Master Liu.”
Liu Wei snorted. “These bastards.”
As he spoke, he was about to open the window of the private room. Unexpectedly, the window of the other private room opposite opened first. A young man’s voice quickly sounded. “What’s with the noise? It’s not time yet. You’re disturbing my mood for food. Why are you in a hurry to watch the show?”
Liu Wei’s hand that was opening the window paused, and a smile hung on his face.
Gu Yundong asked curiously, “Who is it?”
“Duan Jingyuan, the young master of the county magistrate of Fengkai County.”
Gu Yundong remembered that when they first met, Liu Wei had told him that he knew the county magistrate’s son.
“He seems pretty protective of you.”
Liu Wei was a little proud.
As expected of the county magistrate’s son, Duan Jingyuan’s words carried weight. The arrogant shouts downstairs immediately weakened.
Although there were still whispers, no one dared to openly provoke him.
However, not long after, the agreed time arrived, and the commotion downstairs could not be suppressed.
The moment Tao Xing stepped out of the room on the second floor and walked down the stairs, the commotion reached the peak.
Someone told Liu Wei to hurry downstairs and stop hiding away.
Gu Yundong even heard a familiar voice from these shouts..
