Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

As soon as he put the candy into his mouth, Mr. Cai felt his saliva welling up and a special sour taste rushed towards him. Mr. Cai couldn't help but frown. At this moment, a refreshing sweetness instantly swept through his entire mouth. Amid the sour and sweet taste, a rich milky aroma gradually spread.

As the various flavors unfolded, Mr. Cai's brows smoothed out, his expression turned from gloomy to bright, and a drama of changing faces took place in just a few breaths.

Liang Jingcheng, who was standing by, put the small piece of milky white candy into his mouth. The rich and silky sweetness gradually melted between his teeth, accompanied by a strong milky aroma. He was surprised that this small piece of candy contained such a refreshing sweetness.

"Hahaha, quite interesting, this little piece of candy actually made me obsessed!"

Everyone in the Ye family was waiting for the teacher and student's reaction, then they heard Elder Cai burst into laughter.

"Mr. Cai, please try this, it's also delicious!"

Wu Lang picked out a candy from the box, peeled off the oil paper, and handed it to Mr. Cai.

"Good good!"

Mr. Cai took the candy handed to him by Wu Lang, put it in his mouth, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This one is less sour, but sweeter and smoother, with a richer milky flavor. It's really delicious."

Liang Jingcheng looked through the box and found a lactic acid candy. He put it in his mouth and it was just as the teacher said. It was quite interesting.

"Mr. Cai, the candy you ate before was called Weihaojia lactic acid candy, and the one you are eating now is called Weihaojia milk candy. They were made by my brother through personal experimentation."

After hearing Mr. Cai's praise, Wu Lang hurriedly introduced him to Mr. Cai, and did not forget to praise Ye Changyan as well.

"Okay, okay, good boy, come here, take these and eat them."

Mr. Cai grabbed a few candies from the box and handed them to Wu Lang. Wu Lang turned to look at Lian and saw a smile on her face. He took the candies and quickly put them into his pocket.

"It's easy to understand whether this is lactic acid candy or milk candy, but does this mean that this candy tastes really good?"

Hearing Mr. Cai's teasing words, everyone in the Ye family burst into laughter.

"Mr. Cai, this name was given by my brother. Recently, our village has raised a lot of spotted cows. These spotted cows can't plow the land, but they can produce a lot of milk. These candies are made from the milk from the spotted cows raised in the village."

Wu Lang spoke and gestured at the same time, while Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng listened carefully and seriously.

"We are building a milk processing plant in our village now. This plant will specialize in making these candies, and Wei Hao Jia is the name of this milk processing plant."

After hearing what Wu Lang said, Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng were very interested, so Mr. Cai invited everyone into the main hall to hear the specific details.

Arriving at the main hall, Ye Changyan recounted what had happened in detail, except that he did not mention the fact that he held a 50% stake.

"Well, you did a great job, kid. You not only helped Wu Hongchang solve the case, but also solved the problem of the vendors selling cattle. You also opened up a way for the villagers to make money. The most important thing is this processing workshop. If it is operated properly, it is tantamount to planting a money tree in the village!"

Mr. Cai's comments were very pertinent, but Ye Changyan heard that Mr. Cai called the county magistrate by his name. It seemed that Mr. Cai and County Magistrate Wu might know each other. Ye Changyan was not too surprised by this. He just heard Ye Changyan say modestly.

"Mr. Cai, you are too kind."

But Mr. Cai valued Ye Changyan's quick mind and tactful and thoughtful way of handling things. Mr. Cai kept labeling Ye Changyan with various labels in his mind, saying that he was knowledgeable, talented, capable, and good at handling things. Most importantly, he could also cook delicious dishes, and the candy in front of him was also very tempting.

In Mr. Cai's heart, Ye Changyan is truly a rare good seedling. His calm heart is now filled with ripples as if a spring breeze is blowing through it.

Mr. Cai began to hesitate. Should he maintain his pride and dignity in front of this boy?

Seeing that the teacher was lost in his own thoughts, Liang Jingcheng guessed that the teacher might really be attracted to his talent this time.

Just then, the cook, Sister Yun, came to the front hall and asked if a banquet was to be arranged.

Only then did Mr. Cai wake up from his thoughts and told Sister Yun to serve the food.

Ye Xiaozheng and Lian were both a little surprised. In this huge Chu Garden, their family had been there for a long time, but they didn't see any other guests. Could it be that Mr. Cai only invited their family to his birthday party?

This made Ye Xiaozheng and Lian feel flattered. They had heard from Sanlang before that Mr. Cai used to be an official of some kind, in charge of the largest academy in the world. They also heard that Mr. Cai had many students and old friends all over the world. They never thought that the guests today were only their family.

Just as Ye Xiaozheng and his wife were shocked, the servants began to serve the dishes one after another.

The dishes on the table in front of them surprised Ye Xiaozheng and his wife even more, as they were still shocked. All of the more than ten dishes on the table were vegetarian.

There was no wine on the table, but instead two pots of tea. Everyone in the Ye family was inexplicably moved.

"Come on, come on, let's eat!" Mr. Cai called out and picked up the chopsticks first.

Although it was a vegetarian meal, everyone in the Ye family ate it with gusto. This table of dishes contained Mr. Cai’s deep friendship and full of human touch.

There was constant laughter and joy during the dinner, and the smart little Goro played an indispensable role in this.

Just when Wu Lang was expressing his great admiration for his brother, he heard Liang Jingcheng beside Ye Changyan ask Wu Lang.

"Wulang, I heard that you admire your brother so much. Which teacher did your brother study under? My teacher and I would like to go visit him someday."

When Mr. Cai heard Liang Jingcheng's question, he glanced at Liang Jingcheng secretly. He suspected that his student had guessed some of his thoughts, but when he accepted Liang Jingcheng as his disciple, he announced to the public that he was his last disciple. This was also one of the reasons for his hesitation.

I don't know if this student of mine, who has been a junior brother for 18 years, has ever wanted to be a senior brother, or if he minds having more junior brothers?

Then Wu Lang said with a smile, "My brother studied with Mr. Xia, a private school in the county. Mr. Xia is very knowledgeable and kind. Once when I went to the county to visit my brother, Mr. Xia gave me a piece of trough cake."

Wu Lang's words caused everyone to laugh. Even Erniu, who was particularly quiet today and maintained her ladylike image, laughed out loud.

"This is a private school teacher. I'm talking about the kind of teacher who has performed the ceremony of paying homage to his teacher."

Mr. Cai quietly pricked up his ears and stared at Wu Lang.

"No, when my brother passed the examination to become a student, my grandfather took him to the capital to visit Mr. Wen Rangjian of Baiheliang Academy. He wanted Mr. Wen to accept my brother as his disciple, but Mr. Wen saw that the gift my grandfather prepared was a bit shabby and refused."

Everyone in the Ye family was in a low mood, but Mr. Cai suddenly became lively, and Liang Jingcheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

But Ye Changyan suddenly said, "I am lucky enough to be a disciple of Mr. Gongshu in my life."
