Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 57
Chapter 57 Open One’s Mouth to Bite
Su Wanwan clenched her fists and said, “Father, I’m afraid it won’t rain today. Why don’t you go mow the thatch first and come back. When the time comes, we’ll cover it and sleep for a day or two. How about we rebuild the new house after a while?”
Thinking that Su Wanwan could get two to three taels of silver in one trip, Su Daqiang felt that he could get a new house at that time and said, “Alright.”
Su Wanwan took the things and returned to the ox cart. Li Shitou drove the ox cart around the official road, afraid that something similar to the kidnapping of Su Wanwan the previous time would happen again.
When they arrived in Juese Restaurant, Su Wanwan took out the fungus and someone came to pick it up. Shopkeeper Liu gave them three taels of silver straightforwardly, and then apologetically said to Su Wanwan, “Tai’an Restaurant has also recently imitated it. I don’t know where to buy identical mountain treasures for cooking. The price is low. I’m afraid that our restaurant will lose the price to Tai’an Restaurant. What should we do?”
What did this imply?
Actually, Shopkeeper Liu didn’t have to talk to Su Wanwan about the restaurant competition at all. If he did, the meaning would be very different.
Su Wanwan guessed that Shopkeeper Liu’s next sentence was either to lower the price or to make her reduce the supply of Shanzhen.
Indeed, Shopkeeper Liu said embarrassedly, “Miss Su, I’m so sorry. The guests are all going to Tai’an Restaurant. It’s difficult for us to consume the mountain treasures in our restaurant. From today onwards, we will only accept ten kilograms of mountain treasures.”
Ten kilograms of mountain treasures was definitely not enough!
Su Wanwan was absolutely certain about this. After all, the mountain treasures she had given her were all watered with spatial spiritual water. Whether it was fried or boiled, the taste was very delicious.
Su Wanwan said, “Now that diners go to Tai’an Restaurant more often and can tell the taste of the two restaurants, they will definitely like to come to Juese Restaurant even more.”
Don’t you understand where Su Wanwan’s confidence comes from? Isn’t Shan Zhen the same! Shopkeeper Liu said worriedly, “I wonder who the Tai’an Restaurant sent over to eat the dishes. They actually tasted the recipes. The dishes there are exactly the same as the ones here!”
Tai’an Restaurant really has a leader!
Su Wanwan thought for a moment and said, “My mountain treasures have been carefully processed. The taste is different from Tai’an Restaurant. If you don’t believe me, send someone over to buy the vegetables. Let’s eat and taste them.”
Shopkeeper Liu did not really want to reduce Su Wanwan’s supply of mountain treasures. After all, his identity as shopkeeper was obtained because of Su Wanwan. He immediately agreed and quietly sent someone to pack two dishes in disguise.
Occasionally, four identical dishes were placed on the table. If it weren’t for the different colors and patterns of the dishes in the restaurant, Manager Liu felt that he definitely wouldn’t have recognized the restaurant that cooked the dishes.
“Please eat.” Shopkeeper Liu gave way humbly. Su Wanwan did not drag her feet. She immediately began to eat. Not taking a few bites, Shopkeeper Liu’s face was immediately brimming with spring. “Miss Su, let’s serve more tomorrow. I believe that the diners will come back tomorrow.”
Su Wanwan agreed. Shopkeeper Liu gave a deposit of two taels of silver, and then Su Wanwan accepted it. She asked Shopkeeper Liu about the most reliable shop in town, Yusheng Yan.
Su Wanwan had specially brought over the jade pendant made by Qi Chengfeng and wanted to sell it earlier for money to build a big house.
Inside the Yusheng Smoke Shop sat a few graceful women. Seeing Su Wanwan arrive, their eyes swept across the worn linen cloth on Su Wanwan’s body. Their expressions immediately became disdainful. Then, they saw the jade pendant in Su Wanwan’s hand, and their eyes became even more disdainful. “Hey, don’t randomly take the things in your hand!” Hurry up and put it back. Are the things in this shop something you can take anytime you want? “You’re really uneducated. You want to steal anything good when you see it!”
What?
It’s too much to bite someone with just one mouth!
These jade pendants were clearly hers!
Where else could there be stealing?
“Madam, you are so beautiful. It’s a pity that your eyes have been broken long ago.” Su Wanwan said angrily.
“Who do you think’s eyes are broken?” The woman’s beautiful eyes widened. “Not only are your hands and feet dirty, you’re also uneducated!”
“Heh, looks like your eyes are not only broken, your mouth is not clean.” Su Wanwan sneered as she looked at Su Wanwan. The women at the side also looked at Su Wanwan. The women in the shop who were idle also looked at her. Many people even walked over to watch the fun.
The woman suddenly felt that her confidence had hardened. She immediately stood up and said, “Sisters, come judge! I am truly wronged! She stole the jade pendant from the Yusheng Smoke Shop. I kindly helped her parents educate her. Who would have thought that she would actually scold me!”
“Little girl, this is your fault!”
“…”
A few people immediately fell to the side and spoke up for the woman. Su Wanwan frowned and picked up a pair of jade pendants in her hand. “Since you all said that I stole the jade pendant of Yusheng Yan, why don’t you ask the shopkeeper of Yusheng Yan to come out and take a look?” “It is truly worthy of everyone’s status to speculate and agree without knowing whether it is right or wrong. It was done by a lowly person.”
He actually called them villains!
The woman was so angry that she stabbed her finger into Su Wanwan’s head, “You still refuse to admit stealing! You even cursed! See if I don’t report you to the police and catch you!”
“Please report it to the official. I believe that the government will handle it fairly. Secondly, you have to bear the blame for your misjudgement after the officers and men arrive. I will sue you for framing others.” Su Wanwan sneered.
“Alright!” The woman was very confident, as if she must be right. The maidservant beside the woman immediately ran to report to the officer.
The other women on the side also looked at Su Wanwan with contempt. There was a way to rush over and beat Su Wanwan up. However, they felt that it was beneath their dignity and wanted to wait for the people from the government to come and see Su Wanwan’s liveliness.
Su Wanwan looked at the waiter who was standing at the side with a melon-eating expression and said, “Please call out the shopkeeper of your shop.”
The waiter’s expression immediately collapsed. He did not want to offend these respected women. He immediately said, “Sorry, our shopkeeper is not here.”
Whether she was there or not, Su Wanwan could tell from the waiter’s face that she was instantly enraged, “Are you going or not? If you don’t go, you will bear the consequences!”
“Who spoke so arrogantly in my shop!” A rough male voice rang out. Everyone looked over and saw that it was actually a young man dressed in white.
Isn’t this the teenager who talked to her about business at the Supreme Beauty Restaurant?
Su Wanwan sighed as she stood up and said, “It’s me.”
“Miss Su?” The white-clothed youth was slightly stunned, and his tone eased.
The owner of Yusheng Yan actually knew Su Wanwan!
Everyone was shocked. The most shocked thing was the waiter. He immediately smiled bitterly and hurriedly went up to curry favor. “Young Master, why are you here? Just now, this girl was looking for the shopkeeper!”
“Oh? What about the shopkeeper? Why didn’t he come out to serve?” The white-clothed youth raised his eyebrows and looked at him. The waiter was so scared that he was shocked.
The waiter’s voice trembled as he said, “Young Master, the shopkeeper is sleeping …”
