Old…old…old…old…old woman…? !

Liu Jinfeng is only in her forties and definitely looks no more than thirty-five. She is just a little older than that girl Chu Yue. How come she has become an old woman?

Women hate being called old the most, and Liu Jinfeng is no exception.

She had just complained that Chu Yue's mugwort glutinous rice cake looked like rotten vegetable leaves, and now her face looked like the rotten leaves, wrinkled and bitter.

But even though Liu Jinfeng was filled with anger, she did not dare to speak to Pei Hanchuan and could only give way to Pei Hanchuan obediently.

This street belongs to the Pei family.

If she offended Pei Hanchuan, she would never be able to open a shop on this street or survive in the city, so even if Liu Jinfeng was angry, she didn't dare to say anything to Pei Hanchuan. She had to obediently make way and let Young Master Pei walk in.

Oh, Liu Jinfeng didn't plan to let it go like this. She wanted to see if Chu Yue would curry favor with Pei Hanchuan after seeing him, and whether she would refuse to accept Pei Hanchuan's money.

As long as Chu Yue flatters the powerful and bullies the weak, Liu Jinfeng can tell the whole street about Chu Yue's criticism just by opening her mouth.

Let everyone see that although Chu Yue looks self-righteous, she is actually a flatterer.

Liu Jinfeng rolled her eyes a few times, and suddenly she felt guilty, and kindly reminded Chu Yue, "Sister, this is Young Master Pei. All the shops on the street belong to the Pei family. He eats your food, and you still charge him?"

Chu Yue saw through Liu Jinfeng's ill intentions at a glance, handed the chopsticks to Ye Zhaodi, asked her to pay attention to the mugwort glutinous rice cake on the coal stove, and stood up to look at Liu Jinfeng.

"Of course I have to charge. I opened a shop to do business, even if the military chief comes, I still have to charge. Does Master Pei have a military chief?"

"I still have self-awareness. I don't have as much face as the military commander." Pei Hanchuan smoothly took over Chu Yue's words and said in front of Liu Jinfeng, "I don't like to eat for free. I'm not a beggar who asks for food everywhere. I have plenty of money. Boss Chu, how much is your mugwort glutinous rice cake?"

Chu Yue openly offered a high price, "One dollar a piece."

The mugwort glutinous rice cake, which was only sold for fifty cents per pound in the morning, has doubled in value now.

Liu Jinfeng's eyes almost popped out of her head when she heard this.

Pei Hanchuan didn't care at all and said casually, "Total... only six dollars. I'll take it all."

"Master Pei is really generous." Chu Yue reminded Ye Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, the remaining mugwort glutinous rice cakes belong to Master Pei and cannot be sold to others. Bake them carefully and give them to Master Pei when they are done."

"Sister Yue, don't worry. I will definitely not sell it to anyone else. I will treat Master Pei well and let him eat the most delicious mugwort glutinous rice cake." Ye Zhaodi smiled at Pei Hanchuan with a bright smile on her face, "Master Pei, you are so generous and straightforward. You are different from ordinary people."

From Chu Yue to Ye Zhaodi, and then to Pei Hanchuan, everyone was mocking Liu Jinfeng's greed in some sarcastic way, especially Pei Hanchuan's word "beggar", which made Liu Jinfeng lose face.

She was completely humiliated, her face turned pale and blue, and finally she could only turn away angrily.

Ye Zhaodi also shouted at Liu Jinfeng's back, "Aunt Liu, we will still sell mugwort glutinous rice cakes tomorrow. If you want to eat some, come and buy them tomorrow. We treat everyone equally. If you come in, you are a customer. I will definitely sell it to you."

Liu Jinfeng didn't even turn her head back, walked quickly, turned into her shop, and never came out again.

Ye Zhaodi laughed cheerfully and said to Chu Yue, "Sister Yue, we have finally gotten rid of our anger. Let her know how powerful we are!"

During this time, Ye Zhaodi did not forget to put the baked glutinous rice cake in a bowl of brown sugar and handed it to Pei Hanchuan, "Master Pei, it tastes especially good when you dip it in brown sugar."

"What? Did that old woman make things difficult for you before?" Pei Hanchuan smelled the fragrance, and his taste buds were itching to taste it, but he held back and first cared about Chu Yue's affairs.

Ye Zhaodi said angrily, "That's not it——"

"Zhao Di," Chu Yue interrupted, not letting Ye Zhao Di continue, "Pei Hanchuan, I'm bound to encounter this and that when I run a business. I don't need to trouble you to help me every time. It's not a big deal. I can handle it myself."

Pei Hanchuan could hear the distant tone in Chu Yue's words. They were friends, but just friends.

He felt a sudden discomfort in his heart, and the brown sugar and mugwort glutinous rice cake he ate didn't seem as sweet anymore.

Ye Zhaodi saw that Pei Hanchuan didn't shout or scream after taking a few bites. She remembered that last time when he ate baked potatoes with chili powder, he shouted and screamed and only praised the food for being delicious.

Ye Zhaodi asked, "Master Pei, is it not delicious?"

"How can it not be delicious? It must be delicious." The elegant and romantic Pei Hanchuan squatted beside the small coal stove. Seeing Ye Zhaodi holding the chopsticks interestingly, he simply snatched the chopsticks away and roasted them himself to make them more fragrant. "When I ate them in Shanghai before, I always ate freshly made ones. This is the first time I have eaten roasted ones. Just like rice cakes, they are still delicious when roasted."

"Master Pei, what is rice cake?"

"Rice cakes are made with rice, one by one..." Pei Hanchuan and Ye Zhaodi squatted together, one was curious, the other loved to talk, the two of them chattered, even though their status was so different, they were surprisingly harmonious.

Unlike her and Xu Feng, who would quarrel and bicker as soon as they met.

After a long time.

"Burp——" Pei Hanchuan ate six pieces of mugwort glutinous rice cakes in one breath. They were all made of glutinous rice flour and were very filling. He burped, and his mouth was full of the aroma of brown sugar and mugwort.

Pei Hanchuan was still not satisfied. "You guys are still selling tomorrow. Do you have a lot of stock? I'll buy from you."

Chu Yue was counting the bills at the counter. While flipping through the account book, she said to Pei Hanchuan, "Pei Hanchuan, you don't have to buy it. I'll have Zhaodi deliver it to the cake shop tomorrow."

Pei Hanchuan suddenly became interested, and Qingjun's face lit up, "Chu Yue, are you going to give me a free meal?"

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Ye Zhaodi can eat for free, but he has to spend money, and his spending money is the same as Liu Jinfeng. He is even worse than Ye Zhaodi.

Chu Yue replied, "I sell mugwort glutinous rice cakes for 50 cents a pound. I said one dollar a piece just now to deliberately provoke Liu Jinfeng. I can't cheat you. Let Zhaodi send 12 pounds tomorrow, enough for your family to eat for several days."

Pei Hanchuan smiled when he heard it, "That's pretty good."

Not only did his stomach feel relieved, but his heart also felt relieved.

Because Pei Hanchuan did the math in his mind, six yuan for twelve kilograms, in other words, the meal cost six yuan now, and Chu Yue did not take the money from him, so she treated him to the meal for free.

He is still different from Liu Jinfeng!

Young Master Pei was in high spirits, not to mention how happy he was. If he had known this would happen, he should have left two pieces and taken them back for Tianci to eat. Tianci would definitely like the soft and glutinous mugwort rice cake covered with brown sugar.

Thinking of Pei Tianci, Pei Hanchuan turned around and asked Chu Yue, "When will your son come to the store to play?"

"What's wrong?" Chu Yue looked up.
