Yun Yi agreed and asked again, “Master, do you want me to let Ning Fengcai fall again?”
Rong Yan looked at Xiaoxiao’s bouncing figure and shook his head. “Let’s take a look first. She might… have other plans.” Otherwise, she would have been anxious until now. Instead of saying that she was going to settle scores with her second uncle, she looked more like she was going to watch the show.
When Second Uncle Ning walked into the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant with the bamboo shoots that the eldest branch had provided for free again, he laughed at his nephews and nieces for being stupid in his heart. At the same time, he thought about the money he would get soon and was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
The shopkeeper was waiting for him in the private room. Seeing that he had been gone for a long time, his expression naturally wouldn’t be good. Second Uncle Ning wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and lied through his teeth. “I just reached the door when I was pushed by some blind thing and dropped the jar.”
He emphasized, “But Shopkeeper, don’t worry. I have more here. Try it and see if it’s the same as the Fragrance Restaurant.”
The shopkeeper pinched a piece of sour bamboo shoots with a look of disdain and sniffed it before putting it into his mouth. However, he did not like to eat this cheap stuff. He spat it out after chewing it twice.
Recently, he had specially sent someone to buy sour bamboo shoots from a restaurant. It was exactly this taste. He asked Second Uncle Ning, “When can they be delivered?”
Second Uncle Ning was overjoyed. “Very soon, very soon. It’ll be ready in 10 days at most!” This matter was done! He could almost see countless copper coins flying towards him with wings.
The shopkeeper rinsed his mouth with tea. “Then send 10 jars over in 10 days.”
Second Uncle Ning’s eyes were about to light up. Obediently, he ran out as well. “As expected of a big business. This is much more generous than the small-scale business at Fragrance Restaurant.”
The shopkeeper did not show it on his face, but the smile on his lips was obviously much wider.
Second Uncle Ning didn’t even have time to drink a sip of tea when he was sent away. However, he wasn’t unhappy at all, because he was calculating the benefits that 10 jars of sour bamboo shoots could bring him in his heart. Unexpectedly, he met the unlucky girl from the eldest branch the moment he left.
Second Uncle Ning frowned and wanted to pretend not to see her, but Ning Erlang, who had been holding back his anger behind Xiaoxiao, had already said, “Second Uncle, we just heard that you’re here to sell sour bamboo shoots too?”
The word “too” was very wonderful.
The deal with Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant had just been completed. Second Uncle Ning was afraid that something would happen, so he immediately scolded, “Why? your family is allowed to sell bamboo shoots, but no one else is allowed to do this deal?”
Xiaoxiao asked gently, “Of course not, but as far as I know, Second Uncle, you didn’t know how to do this in the past. But our family…”
She spoke very slowly, so slowly that Second Uncle Ning interrupted her in time. “Your grandma has been making pickled vegetables for many years. What’s so strange about her knowing how to make sour bamboo shoots? It’s just that your grandma keeps a low profile and doesn’t brag about it everywhere like you do.”
“Why? Now that we’ve split up and your wings have hardened, you can’t bear to see our old residence use our skills to earn money and want to cause trouble?”
Although Xiaoxiao had already told him the purpose of this trip, Ning Erlang was still so angry that his liver hurt. He took a step forward. “Second Uncle, do you mean that the bamboo shoots you’re selling were all developed by Grandmother herself and have nothing to do with us?”
When Second Uncle Ning heard this, he thought they were jealous of his business and wanted a share of it? That wouldn’t do! Hence, he immediately said firmly, “Of course. This bamboo shoot was personally developed by your grandmother, my mother, from the beginning to the end. The cooking method was only passed down to our second branch. I don’t mind that you found the cooking method from somewhere.. You can’t possibly say that our old residence learned from you, right?”
