When Zhao Daya met Qiu Yin, she was not wearing a cap, but a mask.

The face mask was made of the finest Yun brocade, with a begonia flower embroidered on the edge.

Only a pair of eyes were left outside.

According to Chun Tao, since the young lady is of noble status and beautiful, she should wear a veil.

However, she couldn't make the decision for her mistress. Her mistress had said that if her eyes were covered, she wouldn't be able to see the other person's eyes clearly.

Chun Tao really didn't understand why one should look into someone's eyes when meeting them. But, she was sure what the young lady said was right.

Unbeknownst to Zhao Daya, Chuntao was engrossed in a dramatic scene, gathering up the accounts in her hands and putting them in a drawer.

"Sir, is there something you need?" Zhao Daya saw Qiu Yin enter but did not get up, remaining seated in her chair.

Qiu Yin had always heard that Zhao Daya was a beautiful girl, and upon seeing her today, his heart pounded wildly.

Fortunately, his upbringing prevented him from displaying any sleazy or snobbish behavior.

He only lingered on Zhao Daya's face for a moment before bowing and clasping his hands in a gesture of respect.

Chuntao moved a stool to the opposite side of the table, gesturing for Qiu Yin to sit down.

Qiu Yin was initially taken aback. Wasn't it customary to receive guests at the coffee table, to have tea or something?

The owner of this inn is truly extraordinary.

He glanced at the table briefly and thought it looked quite nice. He'd get one for himself someday; it seemed very impressive.

In the instant Qiu Yin bowed his head in greeting, countless thoughts raced through his mind. When he raised his head, his eyes were clear and he appeared very upright.

"I am Qiu Yin, the youngest son of the Qiu family restaurant in this nearby town."

The purpose of this visit to Guibao store is to seek cooperation.

To be honest, Miss, my tongue has been much more sensitive than others since childhood.

I can basically reproduce the ingredients of almost anything I've eaten, and even the cooking methods can be described to some extent.

Therefore, our Qiu Family Restaurant has accumulated a considerable number of recipes.

I came to your store today to sell these recipes to you.

However, I have a favor to ask, and I hope Miss Dong will not mind..."

Zhao Daya looked at the young master before her with a half-smile.

"Since the Qiu family runs a restaurant, they must know the importance of recipes better than others."

As far as I know, your Qiu family offended your peers because of your tongue, which has aroused public outrage.

"Young Master Qiu, you didn't come here to sell vegetables, but rather to seek refuge, did you?"

Zhao Daya showed Qiu Yin no mercy. She always made sure to thoroughly understand the surrounding area before opening a shop.

Even though the Zhao family is now quite capable, there's no need for them to cause trouble everywhere.

In business, harmony is paramount. Zhao Daya, with her personality of preferring to avoid trouble, knew that opening a shop in this desolate wilderness was already a huge problem.

She still needs to focus her main energy on dealing with some lawbreakers.

As for the merchants, she never intended to offend them; there was absolutely no need to.

However, Qiu Yin was clearly just there to cause trouble.

Qiu Yin chuckled awkwardly, slightly startled. He never expected the innkeeper to be so well-informed.

"Please excuse my poor daughter, but some unsatisfactory things have indeed happened at my family's restaurant recently."

To be honest, if I had any other means, I wouldn't have had the audacity to come to you, Miss, for help.

Zhao Daya smiled faintly, simply gazing at Qiu Yin.

Even though Zhao Daya's eyes looked very gentle, Qiu Yin inexplicably felt a chill rise from his back.
