Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 497
Chapter 497 Shameless
Qi Chengfeng said coldly, “Who wants the money back? Beat them up!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards at the entrance walked over and could not help but drag out the villagers who were looking for trouble and beat them violently, causing some villagers to have bruises and swollen faces.
The other villagers avoided them far away, afraid that this matter would fall on them.
However, after a long time, the villagers’ originally stubborn words turned into soft tones, “It’s nothing much to spend five pennies. I even ate three pennies yesterday, but today, this bowl of cold skin is nothing more than a penny.”
“That’s right! Forget it! Why did you hurt yourself for two pennies!”
“…”
The villagers who hadn’t been taught a lesson left after they had eaten their fill and didn’t care about the money anymore.
There were quite a few people who came today, but in just a few days, everyone remembered that the delicacy of cold skin had come to eat again.
Auntie Xu muttered, “Who would eat a bowl of cold skin for five pennies!”
He muttered to himself and went over to watch the fun. He wanted to mock Su Wanwan, but who would have thought that it would be filled with people? He was instantly enraged! Thinking that his family had only sold five or six meat buns today, he couldn’t even get back the original!
Auntie Xu was so angry that her chest hurt. Su Wanwan saw her looking around the courtyard and said, “Auntie Xu, do you still have flour in your house? Do you want to sell it to me for three cents a jin?”
“Three pennies a jin? Dream on!” Auntie Xu spat and left angrily.
As they walked, they actually turned around and bumped into a man. Both of them covered their heads. Before Auntie Xu could curse, she suddenly opened her eyes and saw that the man had a delicate eyebrow, fair complexion, and a scholarly aura. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly smiled and said, “You’re Zhang Tongsheng … Oh no, you’re a scholar!” Ouch! I heard that you won the scholar exam this time. Is the girl from the Li family’s wine cellar in town her father willing to let you marry her daughter? “Aiyo, you really are outstanding!”
Zhang Xiucai smiled proudly and said, “Auntie Xu, I am indeed married. Now that I am thinking about how to host the banquet, I want to do it better! Be dignified! I heard that there is a shop in the village that sells novelty food, so I came over to take a look.”
Auntie Xu was stunned. She didn’t expect that Zhang Xiucai would actually come to discuss cooperating with Su Wanwan in hosting the banquet! Hosting a banquet, the cook will definitely earn several taels of silver!
‘”Aiyo, Zhang Xiucai, have you forgotten? Your Aunt Xu sells steamed buns. Why don’t you come and talk to me about it? I can make a lot of different kinds of steamed buns. I’m sure I can do it for you!” Auntie Xu said, smiling so hard that her eyes were almost unable to see her. She was very flattering.
Zhang Xiucai said with a dark face, “Auntie Xu, isn’t this bad? Whose restaurant is full of meat buns?”
“That’s a buns with different styles to make you a lot of different kinds of food. I guarantee that it will satisfy you!” Auntie Liu smiled flatteringly and said, “You saved me a lot of money by buying some meat for me to cook!”
Why didn’t she understand what he said? Zhang Xiucai said with a calm face, “Auntie Xu, I have already said it very tactfully. You still want to pester me, but now I can only explain to you that the steamed buns you sell are really ugly. I won’t buy your steamed buns at the banquet.”
After saying that, Zhang Xiucai threw Auntie Xu’s hand off her elbow into the Qi Clan’s courtyard.
Seeing that the courtyard was quite dignified, he went to look at the pasta. He found that the pasta was not only good-looking and large in quantity, but also something he had never seen before. He was very satisfied. He stepped into the courtyard again and found Su Wanwan through his servants. He said directly, “Madam, I am Zhang Xiucai. In a few days, there will be a banquet for you to take over.”
“A feast?” Su Wanwan raised her eyebrows. Thinking of the ancient banquet, she did not understand it very well. She said, “Wait a moment, I’ll call the steward, Nanny Zhao, over to listen to the details you said.”
“Yes.” Zhang Xiucai nodded, but in his heart, he felt that Su Wanwan treated him very badly, actually looking down on him so contemptuously! And call Mommy to listen!
Nanny Zhao walked over and listened, Zhang Xiucai said, “Six days will be a few days. I want to set up a total of 66 tables for three days. Each table should have 12 dishes that are not repeated. The dishes should be full of color, fragrance, and flavor. Those dishes should be paired with meat and vegetables. They should be decorated beautifully. They should not be salty, light, greasy, or too …”
Su Wanwan frowned slightly as she listened to these requests. After she finished listening, she asked Nanny Zhao for her opinion. Nanny Zhao said, “Zhang Xiucai wants to be more dignified. This is nothing, very good.”
Thus, Su Wanwan nodded her head and said, “Alright, Zhang Xiucai, give me the money. I will send people to buy vegetables in town tomorrow to prepare for Zhang Xiucai’s wedding.”
“Deposit money?” Zhang Xiucai frowned.
Hearing his tone, Su Wanwan was very displeased. She guessed, “Don’t you think you shouldn’t give him money?”
Under Su Wanwan’s questioning gaze, Zhang Xiucai actually nodded!
Su Wanwan was stunned, but Zhang Xiucai said with a cold face, “Isn’t this silver necessary? I’m a scholar, shouldn’t you give me some thin noodles? After the banquet is over, I’ll write a poem for you to hang on your wall, so that you can enjoy the glory of your life, isn’t it?”
“…”
This person was truly shameless! If he wanted to go with meat and vegetables, and if he didn’t repeat it, he would definitely spend a lot of money. Without six taels of silver, he definitely wouldn’t be able to do it. Luckily, he didn’t want to take out a penny to eat for free!
This person was so shameless, why would she waste her energy doing these things? The corners of Su Wanwan’s lips twitched a few times and she said unhappily, “Sorry, Zhang Xiucai, I may not have the ability to do this for you. I’m sorry, but please hire another expert.”
“Everyone is a guest! What is your attitude? I’m willing to give you a poem! What else do you want?” Zhang Xiucai said in a deep voice, as if he was the victim. Seeing that Su Wanwan did not say anything, he added, “I am a scholar! You don’t like me so much, see if your shop can continue to open!”
Just show off your reputation, and still exert pressure! This made Su Wanwan very puzzled. Where did this brother get his face?
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes. Before she could say anything, she heard Qi Chengfeng’s voice. “Oh? My wife said that she didn’t want to take it, didn’t you hear? If you didn’t hear, I suggest we go to the town to find a clinic to take a look!”
“Your husband and wife’s words are really ugly!” As Zhang Xiucai spoke, his face was as black as ink. Seeing that Qi Chengfeng seemed to have just returned from a dusty journey, he thought that he did not have the ability to do anything, so he straightened his body and said, “Let me tell you, I am a scholar. If you do not agree, you will not be able to continue walking in the village!”
“Really? I’m so scared.” Su Wanwan rolled her eyes again and pulled Qi Chengfeng down. All sorts of hissing and asking questions left Zhang Xiucai hanging by the side. Zhang Xiucai suddenly realized that Su Wanwan was pregnant. Immediately, she thought of something to convince Su Wanwan, and her eyes lit up.
