The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

With Li Zhe's directions, Cheng Yu successfully met up with Jiang Su and his companion, who were waiting at Fu Man Lou.

When Jiang Su and He Qi saw Cheng Yu walking towards them, a smile flashed in their eyes. He Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Young general... what brings you here?"

Fortunately, Jiang Su quickly stopped him from making a rash statement, otherwise he would have exposed Cheng Yu's identity in the bustling teahouse.

Knowing he almost made a mistake, He Qi scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled.

Jiang Su immediately offered the seat next to him to Cheng Yu. After Cheng Yu sat down, the three of them began to chat.

Cheng Yu spoke first, "What's the situation in Qingshui Town, Jiangsu? I just ran into Brother Zhe at the town gate; they were being chased by a group of people."

Jiang Su and Cheng Yu were startled by Cheng Yu's words and stood up, asking urgently, "What?...Then, are they alright?"

Cheng Yu shook his head. "It's nothing. Those people's martial arts skills are average. They seem like bodyguards, not someone Yu Ming would do something like this."

Although the two knew that Li Zhe was highly skilled in martial arts, he was accompanied by Yin Baicai and Li Mo, so they could not use their skills against him.

Hearing that the others were alright, Jiang Su and his companion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the town gate, Li Zhe did not give Cheng Yu much advice, and Cheng Yu did not know that the people sent to kill them were from the Jin family.

Jiang Su recounted to Cheng Yu what had happened in Qingshui Town recently.

Cheng Yu thought for a moment, then said, "You guys keep an eye on Fu Man Lou, I'll go check on the Huang family line."

The two nodded; this was the only option for now. They had been staking out Fumanlou for some time, but hadn't seen the "Zhao Lin" that Wang Fu had mentioned.

After finishing the snacks Huang Lianxi brought, Yu Ming told her that her father's prescription would not be written for another two days, using this as an excuse to brush her off.

Yu Ming also had his own considerations. He couldn't cure Huang Hou's "illness" all at once, otherwise how could he rely on this person to build connections in the future?

As for the Jin family, I need to control the two main forces in Qingshui Town before I can take action, right?

He was hoping to curry favor with that important person!

Only by bringing the entire town of Qingshui under my control will I be able to avoid being denied opportunities by the authorities.

After seeing the servant off, Yu Ming couldn't help but stare at Lin Xing a few more times. From the moment he entered the room, this servant had been intentionally or unintentionally sizing him up.

Presumably, Master Huang didn't really believe he could cure his "stubborn illness".

He even sent people to keep an eye on me; what a cunning old fox.

However, Yu Ming miscalculated this time; Lin Xing was not a member of the Huang family.

Wang Fu looked anxiously at the dwindling amount of "spices" in his hand. What was he going to do?

This stuff used to attract a lot of people every day, but it's almost all used up now, and we can't find Brother Zhao anywhere.

Wang Fu was in a bad mood, so he naturally took his anger out on the waiter, He Miao.

In particular, He Miao kept whispering in his ear, "Manager, Steward Jin has sent someone again to ask when you can introduce Young Master Zhao to the master."

Wang Fu said with a gloomy face, "Get out of here. Can't you see I'm swamped with work? You have to tell me about such a small thing? Just go and send that person away."

He can't find Zhao Lin anywhere now, and he's almost out of things. Zhao Lin used to come looking for him, and he's been to Hua Man Lou several times, but he hasn't seen Zhao Lin there.

After being scolded, He Miao hurriedly went to send away the people sent by Jin Mao.

The shopkeeper has been in a bad mood these past few days, so I'd better not get too close.

Jiang Su watched the servants from the Jin family being dismissed by He Miao, his mind filled with thoughts. The Jin family had come several times, but Wang Fu still hadn't introduced them. Perhaps Wang Fu didn't know how to contact Zhao Lin either!

Wang Fu realized he didn't have many spices left, so he asked the kitchen staff to add a little less to the dish.

The moment the food was served, the guests became dissatisfied.

He shouted at Wang Fu, who was leaning over the counter, "Manager Wang, you can't do business like this. We came here specifically for the spices, and it's obvious you haven't put any in them."

Wang Fu looked at the angry customer. This was a wealthy man in town, and he, a mere shopkeeper, could not afford to offend him.

"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. We've packed plenty of things, so you can rest assured."

What Wang Fu didn't know was that the addiction to Five-Stone Powder would grow stronger and stronger, and people would naturally have a clear idea of ​​how much of the substance they had consumed.

Eating too little won't satisfy their cravings at all.

Mr. Zhang slammed his chopsticks on the table in displeasure. "Wang Fu, don't think I don't know. You definitely didn't put in enough spices. We paid a lot of money for this flavor, and you dare to cut corners like this?"

Wang Fu lowered his head and his eyes darkened. This old man's mouth is really sharp. He only told the kitchen to put in less, but he could still taste it.

"Mr. Zhang, calm down. It must be the kitchen staff who are not doing their job. This meal is on me. I'll have someone bring out new dishes right away."

Mr. Zhang then gave up.

"That's more like it. Manager Wang, you'd better work hard. Maybe I can put in a good word for you with Master Jin."

Wang Fu left with a bow and scrape, but as soon as he entered the kitchen, he launched into a tirade, "Damn old man, why didn't I just eat you to death? You're just a small tea merchant, what makes you think you're so great?"

The kitchen staff, watching Wang Fu's furious outburst, acted with extreme caution, not daring to provoke him in the slightest.

Wang Fu handed one of the remaining three packets of spices to the head chef.

"Add it in the same amount as before, don't be stingy."

The chef took the food and, barely daring to breathe, remade the dish.

Wang Fu estimated that he only had enough left for tomorrow, so he thought he would go to Hua Man Lou again today and wait, hoping to run into Zhao Lin.

After Wang Fu left, the servants in the kitchen, who didn't dare to breathe, exchanged glances.

Why is the shopkeeper so angry? It's quite frightening.

The dishes were brought back, and only then did Mr. Zhang finally eat with satisfaction.

That's more like it!

But Wang Fu was really lucky; he actually got such a good thing.

If I could take over the business of these foreign "spices," my wealth in Qingshui Town might multiply several times over.

During dinner, Yin Baicai, who hadn't noticed her own jealousy, glared at Li Zhe, who was staring at her.

"Are you going to eat or not? I have food on my face!"

Li Zhe nodded hastily, "Hmm...a feast for the eyes."

Li Zhe's words made Yin Baicai blush deeply. This shameless bully was getting more and more outrageous.

He's full of lewd talk.

Yin Baicai stuffed a meat pie into Li Zhe's mouth, saying, "Eat it, it'll shut your stinky mouth up."

Li Zhe, with a piece of bread in his mouth, kept his eyes fixed on Yin Baicai.

Li Xiaomo pouted unhappily when she saw Yin Baicai handing a pancake to Li Zhe.

"Mom, Momo wants to eat pancakes too."

Yin Baicai quickly handed half a pancake to Li Mo, "Okay, okay, eat up, you little devil."

Li Mo ate the pancake that Yin Baicai handed her with great satisfaction, her little face beaming like a flower.
