Chapter 255 Master Pei has it all
Old... old... old... old woman...? !
Liu Jinfeng is only in her forties and definitely looks no older than thirty-five. She is just a little older than Chu Yue, so 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 a rotten vegetable leaf, and now her face looked like a rotten vegetable leaf, 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.
Haha, Liu Jinfeng didn't plan to let it go like this. She wanted to see whether 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 make the whole street know what Chu Yue is saying just by speaking.
Let everyone see that although Chu Yue looks self-righteous, she is actually a flatterer and pleaser.
Liu Jinfeng rolled her eyes a few times, and suddenly, as if she had a change of heart, she kindly reminded Chu Yue, "Sister, this is Young Master Pei. All the shops on this street belong to the Pei family. He eats your food, and you're still charging 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 cakes 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 followed Chu Yue's words and said in front of Liu Jinfeng, "I hate eating for free. I'm not a beggar who asks for food everywhere. I have plenty of money. Boss Chu, how much are your mugwort glutinous rice cakes?"
Chu Yue openly offered a high price, "One dollar a piece."
The mugwort glutinous rice cakes that were only sold for fifty cents per pound in the morning have now doubled in value.
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."
"Young Master Pei is truly generous." Chu Yue warned Ye Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, the remaining mugwort glutinous rice cakes belong to Young Master Pei and cannot be sold to anyone else. Roast them carefully and give them to Young Master Pei when they're done."
"Don't worry, Sister Ayue, 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 cakes." Ye Zhaodi smiled brightly at Pei Hanchuan, "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 a 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 in the end she could only turn away angrily.
Ye Zhaodi even called out to Liu Jinfeng's back, "Aunt Liu, we'll still be selling mugwort glutinous rice cakes tomorrow. If you want to eat some, come back tomorrow. We treat everyone equally. Anyone who comes in is a customer, and I'll definitely sell it to you."
Liu Jinfeng didn't even look back, walked quickly, turned into her family's shop, and never came out again.
Ye Zhaodi laughed cheerfully and said to Chu Yue, "Sister Yue, we've finally gotten rid of that bad temper. Let her know how powerful we are!"
During this time, Ye Zhaodi did not forget to put the baked glutinous rice cakes 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 give you people a hard time before?" Pei Hanchuan smelled the fragrance, and his taste buds were itching to taste it, but he held back and cared about Chu Yue first.
Ye Zhaodi said angrily, "Isn't it——"
"Zhao Di," Chu Yue interrupted, stopping Ye Zhao Di from continuing. "Pei Hanchuan, I'm bound to run into this and that when I run a business. I don't need to bother you with helping 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 chest, 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 roast potatoes with chili powder, he shouted and screamed, and only praised how delicious it was.
Ye Zhaodi asked, "Master Pei, isn't it delicious?"
"Of course it's delicious." The unrestrained Pei Hanchuan squatted beside the small coal stove. Seeing Ye Zhaodi playing with the chopsticks in an interesting way, he simply snatched the chopsticks away and grilled them himself to make them more fragrant. "When I ate in Shanghai before, I always ate freshly made ones. This is the first time I've eaten grilled ones. It's just like rice cakes. Grilled ones are still delicious."
"Master Pei, what is rice cake?"
"Rice cakes are made of rice, one by one..." Pei Hanchuan and Ye Zhaodi squatted together, one was curious, the other loved to talk, the two chattered, even though their status was so different, they were surprisingly harmonious.
Unlike her and Xu Feng, who quarreled and bickered 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 money 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 giving 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 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. Tomorrow I will ask Zhaodi to send 12 pounds over. It's enough for your family to eat for several days."
Pei Hanchuan smiled casually when he heard this, "That's about right."
Not only did his stomach feel relieved, but his heart felt relieved as well.
Because Pei Hanchuan did the math in his mind, six yuan for twelve kilograms, in other words, the food he was eating now cost six yuan, and Chu Yue didn't charge him the money, so she treated him to the meal for free.
He is still different from Liu Jinfeng!
Young Master Pei was in high spirits, extremely happy. 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 sticky mugwort rice cakes covered with brown sugar.
Thinking of Pei Tianci, Pei Hanchuan turned his head and asked Chu Yue, "When will your son come to the store to play?"
"What's wrong?" Chu Yue looked up.
