As the two major restaurants in Taoyuan Town, Zhenxiulou and Shiweilou can be said to be like rivals.
Kang An is the head of Zhenxiulou Restaurant.
He was both the manager of the Zhenxiu Restaurant in Taoyuan Town and the illegitimate son of a wealthy family in the capital.
The relationship between the Kang and Liang families was not considered harmonious by the main families in the capital.
This phenomenon extends to Taoyuan Town as well. Whenever one store opens a branch in the town, the other store will inevitably try to follow suit and open one there as well.
The owner said that the branch doesn't necessarily have to make a lot of money, but it must outperform the store across the street!
So both sides genuinely want to eliminate the other, and the branch manager gets a commission after eliminating the other.
Therefore, after Kang An introduced his secret-recipe seasoned roasted meat at Shiwei Restaurant, he kept a close eye on Manager Liang.
He wanted to see where that secret seasoning came from.
When they saw Manager Liang and the young woman from the capital quietly leaving town in a carriage.
Kang An immediately sent someone to follow.
As the carriage drew closer to the village, Kang An couldn't help but ask the servant, "Are you sure this is the right direction?"
The servant nodded.
Kang An frowned; the road here was uneven, and the carriage ride was incredibly bumpy.
When the carriage entered Niantao Village, it instantly attracted the attention of many people.
You should know that Kang An's carriage was much more impressive than the one Manager Liang had found.
I overheard the villagers around me saying something: "Why is there a horse-drawn carriage again?"
The servant knew he hadn't lost them, so he relaxed and casually asked a villager.
That will determine whose house Manager Liang and his group went to.
The servant called to the coachman and some accompanying guards, and they began to walk towards the Bai family's residence.
And so, the scene from not long ago was repeated.
The villagers and their children came to see the carriage and chatted about it.
"What incredible luck has the Bai family struck? Are they about to strike it rich? Or have they gotten themselves into trouble?"
"Hiss, why don't you guys go ask?"
"Ugh~ I wouldn't dare! Look at how fierce they look!"
Amid the villagers' chatter, Kang An's carriage stopped in front of the Bai family's house.
The servant also spotted the carriage not far away.
They quickly began knocking on the tightly closed, broken wooden door of the Bai family's courtyard.
The door opened before I even knocked twice.
The person who opened the door was a thin, short little boy.
Bai Yunqi frowned slightly as he looked at the second carriage at the door. What was wrong with their family today?
Why are there so many people here!
"Kid, where are your parents? Our master is looking for them!"
The servant had tried his best to be gentle, but the disdain in his eyes could fool an ordinary eight-year-old child, but not Bai Yunqi.
The main reason was that the Liang family had been friendly before, so Bai Yunqi's impression of these people wasn't very good.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Bai Yunqi's speech was not polite.
What a joke! His arrogance as a powerful figure in the cultivation world is ingrained in his very bones.
He'll only be polite to you if you click with him; if you don't, his arrogance will naturally creep out.
The servants were most annoyed by these children from lowly families; they were stupid, ill-mannered, and utterly unpresentable.
But remembering that his master was still behind him, he tried his best to appear friendly.
"Our master is looking for your master; he has business to discuss. Kid, hurry and go fetch your master! It's a business that can make money! It's silver, enough to buy you candy!"
[I even bought you candy, but who cares about your little bit of candy? You're such a snob.]
Bai Yunqi: "My lord is busy."
He was about to close the door when he said that.
The servant quickly reached out to block him.
