Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"Don't be afraid, Mom. Leave it to me." Su An held Li Guihua without changing his expression.

She smiled, but her eyes didn't show it. She turned around and shouted to the onlookers, "Everyone, come and testify for me! I had no choice but to borrow ten taels of silver from my cousin to help that scumbag He Cheng get the money for the imperial examination!"

"He Cheng passed the imperial examination and abandoned me, his wife, and even refused to pay back the money. He is so shameless and despicable, and he has brought us, an orphan and a widow, so much suffering. There is nothing we can do!"

At this point, Su An sobbed and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes: "In order to make money, my family can only get up early and work late to make buns. What's more, my uncle didn't meet the deadline yesterday, so he used this as an excuse to take over my family's shop!"

"We worked so hard to save up our hard-earned money on this last day, and my uncle actually accused us of stealing it!"

Su An cried out louder and louder, "My uncle is deliberately trying to cheat my family out of our shop with ten taels of silver, so that no one can eat buns in the future!"

Everyone was just sympathetic at first, but their expressions changed after hearing what happened next.

Will I never be able to eat buns again?

That’s too much!!!

This statement instantly aroused the anger of the crowd, and everyone spitted at Su Dabao:

"I think you're really ready to hang yourself! You're so shameless, aren't you?! The money earned by the boss is from all of us, and you say the money is not clean, which means you're suspecting everyone!"

"That's right! You slandered an orphan and a widow without any evidence, and you thought you could take over such a good shop for just ten taels. You are such a piece of shit!"

"Suspicious, huh? Then let's report it to the police right now! Let them investigate immediately! You won't be allowed to leave until they give us justice!"

"Call the police! You must call the police!"

The crowd was outraged and pushed Su Dabao to the yamen.

Su Dabao had no idea it would be like this, and he was instantly terrified.

He was just being unreasonable and taking advantage of the fact that the Su family's elders, women, and children were easy to bully, but he actually caused public outrage for no apparent reason?

How come the Su family saved their lives?

And if the government really investigates and finds out he's just talking nonsense, won't he be punished with a beating?!

Su Dabao was angry but dared not say anything, and just begged for mercy and cried out in defeat.

Under the angry glares of the crowd, he had no choice but to pick up the silver in shame, return the IOU, and finally run away in embarrassment.

Su An suppressed his laughter, tore up the IOU, and then raised his eyebrows smugly at the stunned family.

It's no use trying to reason with a scoundrel.

See, isn't that solved?

Next door, Zhou Li, who was just about to rescue the young boss, touched his nose and jumped down from the wall.

He spread his hands and smiled, "Well, you've been worrying for nothing. The young boss has taken care of it himself."

And there was no big fight, just a few clever words and the use of external forces to successfully resolve the situation.

Zhou Li was full of admiration. Such a clever and cunning woman was really rare!

Fu Zhun tapped his fingers on the wheelchair, a smile flickering in his eyes, "Very smart indeed."

Zhou Li couldn't help but look horrified. When had the prince ever smiled so tenderly?!

It seems that the prince has fallen deeply!

Zhou Li just started to laugh at the gossip when he suddenly heard the little boss next door shouting with a smile:

"Thank you all for your help! If you don't mind, I've made some more soy milk and will give it to you all for free!"

Soy milk!

Foodie Zhou Li was immediately excited, because it was already late when he went to queue up during the day.

Not to mention soy milk, even the buns were not his turn, they were all sold out!

If we go now, we will definitely be able to catch up, right?

Thinking of this, Zhou Li rushed out impatiently, but suddenly heard a cold sound from behind: "Ahem!"

He almost stumbled and turned back in shock: "Prince, you are going too?"

The prince never likes to show up in public!

Fu Zhun frowned, his dark eyes fixed on him as a matter of course, and said, "The customers said that the soy milk that's just arrived is steaming hot and tastes the best."

"I've walked a dozen steps back and forth, and I get caught in the wind. What should I do?"

Zhou Li: "..."

When did this guy become so picky?

Give him back the otherworldly prince he once was!

Su An didn't expect to make so much soy milk. He distributed large bowls to everyone. After everyone drank to their heart's content, there was still half a bucket left.

The quantity was neither too much nor too little, and I was just worrying about how to deal with it when someone suddenly knocked on the counter.

"Little boss, can you sell me the remaining soy milk?"

This familiar voice, this familiar question.

Su An was immediately happy, and when he looked carefully, it was indeed the God of Wealth!

Look, look, the purse hanging around his waist is bulging, he must be at least a wealthy man.

"Young boss?" Zhou Li's throat choked, and he felt frightened by her bright gaze.

Can’t it be sold? He came here at a rapid speed!

Su An almost laughed her face off. She coughed quickly and said enthusiastically, "Oh, why are you drinking soy milk at this time? My family is preparing lunch. How was the guest's meal last time? Do you want to come to my house for another big meal?"

What?! The boss said it was a big meal?

The dishes last time were so delicious, so this time...

Zhou Li's heart beat faster and he couldn't help but count the food reserves in his small treasury with a painful heart.

This meal was definitely not cheap, but he couldn't wait any longer and quickly agreed, "No problem! Thank you so much for the invitation, boss!"

Forget it, money and other things are just external things!

After saying that, he was about to follow into the house happily, but suddenly——

"Click!"

Something made a loud noise outside the shop door, and the next moment Zhou Li felt a chill on his back.

Oh no, I forgot the prince is still waiting outside!

It delays his meal!

Zhou Li was very depressed and quickly called Su An: "Well, little boss, my master is still outside. He also tasted your cooking last time and admired it very much. Do you think it is possible to..."

"Master?" Su An was stunned, and then he thought of the carriage. It turned out that the real boss inside had come!

She immediately smiled and said, "It's just a matter of paying a little more for an extra pair of chopsticks. Of course, please invite your master in."

Taking advantage of this time, Su An returned to the inner room to say hello to the family.

Li Guihua was a little hesitant and didn't quite agree, but the other three children all admired their eldest sister's ability to make money, ahem, make money.

"The God of Wealth is here, Yueyue welcomes you!" The little girl laughed the happiest and shouted while dancing and waving her hands.

"So good!" Su An smiled and touched her furry head. The little girl was sweet-mouthed and could definitely make the guests fall into a daze.

But why hasn’t he come in after so long?

Su An frowned, fearing that the person would run away, and quickly went back to the shop.

But as soon as she opened the curtain, she was stunned.

I saw Zhou Li pushing a wheelchair that was stuck on the narrow threshold, and he was trying frantically to carry it in.

The man in the wheelchair, although sitting, had broad shoulders and a big body, was thin but tall, and his body blocked most of the doorway.

The moment he saw his face clearly, Su An's eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

The man wore a wide-sleeved bright shirt and had a handsome and spotless face. A few strands of ink-like hair hung down slightly on his forehead, lightly covering his frosty and moon-like eyebrows.

As if he noticed his gaze, he raised his dark eyes calmly and looked at her. Su An felt his heart skip a beat instantly.

Where did this beauty come from?!
