At this moment, He Yuanshan realized that his teacher, a great master, and Qin Feng, a tycoon, were actually with Miao Achen.
He glanced around and said, "Teacher, this young man is the one I told you about before... the young Miao man from Qianzhou."
Upon hearing this, Niu Kongkong was somewhat stunned, but quickly came to his senses.
The old man re-examined Mu Chen, finding it hard to believe that this young Miao prince possessed such a precious silver coin.
"Young prince, I've heard of you before, but I didn't expect you to be so young. You must not be eighteen yet, right?"
"Seventeen."
"Amazing! Truly amazing! It's my good fortune to know you. Come, let's have a drink together, one old and one young."
Mu Chen stood up, raised his glass with both hands, and said, "This humble one toasts Elder Niu."
"Good, good, good! You are a promising young man." Niu Kongkong praised Mu Chen's character highly.
He Yuanshan took his seat.
After a few rounds of drinks, Qin Feng asked, "Young brother, you just said you knew the origin of the Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and Star Sugar. I hope you can tell me."
"Yes, young friend, could you tell me?" Niu Kongkong also wanted to know.
He Yuanshan looked embarrassed upon hearing this. “Teacher, I haven’t had a chance to tell you about this yet. Actually, both the Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and the Star Sugar were made by this young man from the Miao family.”
"ah---"
Niu Kongkong and Qin Feng were stunned.
Mu Chen said, "Mr. He, you flatter me. Actually, I am just a small manager of the orchard. The cultivation of fruit trees is a secret recipe from my elders."
Even so, Mu Chen's words still surprised Qin Feng.
After regaining his senses, Qin Feng suppressed his excitement and said, "Brother Mu, I never expected that these Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and Star Candy were actually made by your elders. This is wonderful, truly wonderful."
"Brother Mu, how about this? My Qin family will take two thousand boxes of each of the two kinds of immortal fruits. You set the price."
"this..."
Mu Chen hesitated.
He Yuanshan said, "President Qin, you don't know this, but Guolin only wholesales, not retails! It's not easy for the young master to give me a thousand boxes each. I have to be shameless enough to bring them back from the production area myself at a price of twenty-six each. And they can't be sold on the market; they can only be consumed internally."
"Brother Mu, you must give me two thousand boxes no matter what. I, Qin Feng, will accept your kindness. I will personally arrange for a car to pick them up and bring them back to Shanghai."
Mu Chen smiled gently and said, "President Qin, you flatter me! I just heard you say that the old master's birthday is at the end of next month, isn't it?"
"The 30th of next month."
"President Qin, it's fate that we met! I will naturally try my best to help you, but there's something I haven't told you yet; our orchard has two kinds of fruit, each with ordinary and premium grades. What's on the market now, what everyone is seeing, is the ordinary kind."
"As for the top-quality ones, they haven't been released yet, but the price is calculated per piece. The current price is 28 each, and the buyer has to pick them up themselves."
He Yuanshan asked in confusion, "Young Master, when I was in your Miao village, why didn't you mention that there were any top-quality ones?"
"Mr. He, please don't be offended. The elders hadn't finalized the price yet, so I didn't dare to say anything out of turn," Mu Chen began to lie again.
Hearing this, He Yuanshan expressed his understanding and said, "Then I must try this top-quality stuff! Otherwise, it would be a great regret. I'll take two thousand boxes of each this time!"
Qin Feng immediately stated that he wanted the finest quality.
Mu Chen chuckled inwardly, but still said in a serious tone, "The top-quality fruit will be available for sale in the middle of next month. We won't be able to leave the orchard until the 21st. This time coincides with our Miao people's Drumming Festival. Everyone is welcome to come to our Miao village to drink rice wine then."
"It's a deal, so how about this deposit..."
"You'll have to talk to the person in charge of the orchard's finances about this."
Mu Chen didn't want to take on everything himself, but the old man Niu Kongkong had done him a great favor today. He looked at Niu Kongkong and said:
"Old Niu, give me your address, and I'll have the orchard send you a few boxes first! The best quality ones will arrive on the 21st of next month."
Niu Kongkong said with a smile, "Young friend, it is rare to find someone with such a temperament at such a young age! I have also heard of the Miao people's Drum Festival. If you don't mind, we can go and drink rice wine there, and then visit your orchard before taking some fruit with us."
"It would be my great honor."
Mu Chen hurriedly took out his business card.
"Miao Family Orchard, Administrator, Mu Chen."
That's how it's described on the business card. His mobile phone number and landline number are on the back.
Looks like I'll have to start a new private account.
Soon, He Yuanshan received a phone call and got up to greet his old friend.
Qin Feng also wanted to tell the old man in his family the good news.
When only Mu Chen and Niu Kongkong remained in the private room, Mu Chen said, "Elder Niu, there's something I've been thinking about. Should I tell you?"
"Young friend, please speak frankly."
Mu Chen's gaze fell on the young man beside Niu Kongkong. "This must be your grandson, Elder Niu?"
"His name is Niu Heng! He's twenty-four years old this year."
Niu Kongkong's mood was clearly sour when his eldest grandson was mentioned.
Mu Chen said, "Brother Niu looks very thin and has some edema. Have you been experiencing abdominal pain, diarrhea, low-grade fever, weakness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes difficulty breathing?"
"Young friend, how did you know?" Niu Kongkong asked hurriedly.
"I can tell! You probably wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with Young Master Niu's condition even if you went to the hospital, right?"
"Yes, the hospital can't find anything wrong, but my health is getting worse every day. I don't know what's wrong?"
As soon as Niu Kongkong finished speaking, his grandson Niu Heng asked Mu Chen nervously, "Young brother, did you see something?"
"Old Niu, today, even if I, Mu Achen, am being nosy, whether you believe it or not, do not tell anyone."
"Please speak, young friend."
Mu Chen nodded: "Brother Niu must find the person he needs to find as soon as possible! Old Niu, Brother Niu probably doesn't have much time left. If he doesn't get rid of some things on his body soon, it will really be too late."
"What do you mean by this, young friend?"
"I shouldn't be saying these things, but thanks to Elder Niu's help today, I don't want to see an old man bury his son. But as a Miao man, I can only say so much. The rest is up to you and Brother Niu to figure out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Chen stood up, grabbed A Rui, and left.
Niu Kongkong was stunned.
When Niu Heng chased after him, Mu Chen had already paid the bill and left.
When Niu Feng returned to the private room, he saw Niu Kongkong's brows furrowing and relaxing. He stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa, what did Mu Chen mean by that?"
Niu Kongkong knew about the Miao people's drum-stepping festival and had naturally been to a Miao village, so he probably already guessed the general meaning behind Mu Chen's words.
But he still asked Niu Heng, "Didn't you date a Miao girl before? And did you promise her that you would marry her?"
"It seems like there is such a thing!"
"when?"
"I don't remember, it must have been two years ago."
"You bastard! How dare you toy with a Gu woman!"
