Bai Yunqi originally wanted to go upstairs to find his parents and sister.
But when he heard that someone was selling some kind of noodles, he turned around and went to the door first.
The boy who came to sell things looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, and his features did bear a slight resemblance to his two twin brothers.
Bai Yunqi had some doubts in his heart; he just felt that something was wrong!
Bai Yunqi looked up and met the boy's gaze. Even though he was shorter, his presence was just as imposing.
"So you're here to sell some kind of powder?"
He was inwardly complaining: He was unhappy about being too short now; he still preferred the days when he was taller and it felt better to look down on people.
I don't know if I'll be able to grow as tall as I used to be here.
"Um."
The boy nodded honestly, somewhat puzzled as to why this shorter boy was so energetic, but he showed respect.
Bai Yunqi: "Let me see."
The boy shook his head, stubbornly insisting, "You're too young to show this to the master."
Bai Yunqi: ...
I told you, being young can be really annoying sometimes.
Juanjuan, who followed her parents from behind, nodded silently, agreeing with her older brother's point of view.
Sometimes being too young can be a real problem.
Bai Yunqi heard the noise behind him and turned around to look.
“Look, my parents are here; they are the owners.”
Upon seeing that a leader had finally arrived, the boy immediately took out a small paper packet and handed it to Bai Tian.
Bai Tian opened it, and after just one glance, he knew what it was.
He lowered his head, fanned himself with his hand, and sniffed the scent, which confirmed his suspicions even more.
Damn, isn't this just barbecue seasoning?!
This is the second time this barbecue seasoning has suddenly appeared. Last time, I only heard about it from Manager Liang, but this time it's been delivered right to my doorstep. I can't let it pass me by.
Bai Tian immediately invited the young man: "Young friend, come, come, come in and sit down. Let's have a detailed chat."
Jiang Dai's gaze, however, fell on the boy, and she thought: [This child looks somewhat similar to the second and third brothers.]
Juanjuan heard her mother's heartfelt words and looked up at the simply dressed but upright boy.
She does look somewhat like her two twin brothers.
so……
Is this guy selling barbecue seasonings from the Indian guy?
Curly's little eyebrows furrowed slightly as she recalled her third brother's behavior over the past few days.
Third Brother's mind was indeed a bit confused; sometimes she couldn't even understand what she was hearing.
The group returned to the private room.
Bai Tian first poured the boy a glass of water, then asked, "How much are you planning to sell these for?"
The boy stroked the water cup, and said hesitantly, "Would ten or ten taels of silver be alright?"
The man said the minimum was ten taels of silver.
He still can't believe that this little bit of powder can sell for ten taels of silver per catty; it's really precious.
Bai Tian gave a friendly smile: "That won't do!"
Curly and White Clouds standing nearby: ?
Was the refusal made so decisively?
The boy visibly tensed up upon hearing the refusal, but still mustered his courage and said, "No, I won't sell!"
Jiang Dai raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, because she felt...
There's a twist to this story.
In business matters, Jiang Dai mainly stayed on the sidelines and observed.
Putting everything else aside, Bai Tian is quite reliable when it comes to business. After all, people only shine in their areas of expertise.
Sure enough, the next second...
Then Bai Tian said, "Ten taels of silver per catty is not enough, it must be at least twenty taels per catty!"
The boy was clearly frightened; he never expected that someone would actually raise the price for themselves.
"This is a good product. The fact that you were able to get it from Sihua Delicacies means you trust us!"
"Naturally, we can't offer a lower price. Twenty taels, young friend, what do you think?"
"Twenty taels..."
The boy was clearly frightened. He nervously licked his lips, feeling his heart pounding in his chest.
"That's right, twenty taels. This is the capital, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, and wealth is dazzling. Your seasoning is worth such a price!"
Bai Tian continued, "Of course, I offered this price to show you my sincerity, so that you'll continue to cooperate with us if needed in the future."
The boy's hands trembled as he nodded: "Okay..."
The transaction went smoothly. After weighing the barbecue powder brought by the boy, Bai Tian handed over the silver notes and a few taels of loose silver.
He also talked a lot with the boy and was able to extract some useful information.
For example, when asking this young man where the barbecue enthusiast came from.
The answer was that he didn't know; his father had sent him.
For example, they asked if there would be any more barbecue powder available later.
The answer I received was as above: he didn't know.
They knew absolutely nothing when asked.
Even Juanjuan standing next to her was a little confused.
Because she was at home, she knew best who had made the barbecue seasoning.
Based on the child's previous understanding, even if his third brother asked someone else to deliver barbecue powder, it should be done with the same meticulousness as he does things.
But now, the boy selling barbecue powder is full of mistakes.
Curly's little brain was spinning, but she couldn't figure out what was going on.
The barbecue seasoning weighs twelve jin (approximately 6 catties), which isn't much for a restaurant that needs to operate continuously, but it's still quite a lot in terms of value.
The young man left with the silver notes and loose change, and Bai Yunqi immediately found an excuse to leave the restaurant.
What they went to do is self-evident.
If it weren't for the fact that Juanjuan was here, I wouldn't have needed to make up an excuse...
Listening to my elder brother's fading thoughts as he left.
Juanjuan: ...
I really wanted to tell my older brother that she knew everything, but...
Juanjuan's gaze darkened.
She recalled her conversation with Mu Zhaoyao a few days ago when she was taking classes at the Mu family's house.
"Sister, do you think we could be friends with someone who could hear what we're thinking?"
"If others could hear what I'm thinking, let alone friends, even family would be terrifying. Having no secrets is like being naked and being watched."
Mu Zhaoyao did not doubt the child's whimsical idea, nor did she dismiss it. Instead, she seriously considered this somewhat strange idea.
"People's hearts are fickle. Sometimes, some people don't even understand their own hearts. Moreover, people often need to pretend."
As Mu Zhaoyuan trimmed the flower branches, she continued, "For example, when I'm discussing things with some old-fashioned people, sometimes we have disagreements, and I really want to beat them to a pulp, but out of politeness, I can only get along peacefully. I just think about it, but I haven't taken any action."
"But putting that difference aside, I have great respect for them in my daily life."
"Then tell me, which one is the real me?"
Juanjuan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite, though she did understand something in her heart.
Just like what my parents said before.
A wise person judges by actions, not intentions; if we judge by intentions, no one in the world is perfect.
Just like when her third brother first woke up, she was very scared when she heard his inner thoughts.
But if you ignore Third Brother's true feelings and only look at his actions, then he really is a very good person.
"So, Juanjuan, in this world, you must learn to have your own judgment, not be influenced by others, and follow your own thoughts, your feelings, and your heart."
