"That won't work either."
Sha Zhu tilted his head, widened his eyes slightly, and waved his hand, "That won't do. Look at you two, Yu Li, you're both sweating so much. It's not easy for you. You have to make some money. If I take advantage of you, that would be unfair of me."
Yan Jiecheng wanted to say something more, but Yu Li gently tugged at him from the side.
He said with a smile, "Since Brother Zhu has already spoken, let's sell it a little cheaper than the normal price. As long as we can make a profit, that's fine."
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu exclaimed, "Wow, good heavens! As soon as I mentioned buying sweet potatoes, Sha Zhu turned into Brother Zhu! It seems that buying these sweet potatoes really wasn't a waste of money."
Yan Jiecheng understood and laughed at Sha Zhu, "Alright, Brother Zhu, I'll sell it to you at a price a little cheaper than the market price. Don't think it's too expensive."
Sha Zhu grinned, "It's not expensive, it's delicious. Just standing here and smelling it makes my mouth water."
Xu Damao was squatting next to Yu Li, listening to the three of them chat for ages, but no one even glanced at him, as if he didn't exist.
"Hey, I said you guys wait a minute."
Xu Damao stood up and shook his legs, which were numb from squatting. He looked at Shazhu, who was tilting his head, and said, "Shazhu, you can have sweet potatoes if you want, but you'll have to wait for the next batch. I've already bought them all."
Sha Zhu took a deep breath and immediately wanted to curse.
However, remembering Yi Zhonghai's instructions in the outhouse, he swallowed the words back down.
He wasn't afraid of offending Xu Damao, since the two were mortal enemies and could not get along.
But he was afraid that if he had a conflict with Xu Damao, others would be dragged into it and side with Xu Damao against him, which would not be in line with his original intention of buying sweet potatoes to build relationships.
"Xu Damao, that's not a very nice way to talk. If I wasn't going to buy it, you wouldn't be saying that, would you?"
Sha Zhu spoke calmly, and even he himself was a little surprised after he finished speaking.
It turns out he can talk to Xu Damao properly.
"Shazhu, let me tell you, stop talking to me with such sarcastic remarks. I've already spoken to Yu Li and her husband about who you are."
Xu Damao looked at Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng, saying, "You two should say something, lest everyone think that I, Xu the mediator, am bullying Sha Zhu, a resident of the compound."
Yan Jiecheng was taken aback: "No, Da Mao, you really want to buy it? Haitang might not be free tonight, so we can postpone introducing her to someone."
Yan Jiecheng's words made Yu Li, who was standing next to him, blush with anger.
Xu Damao has already said he's got everything covered, so why are you, Yan Jiecheng, spouting so much nonsense?
Everyone in this courtyard knows that Xu Damao and Shazhu don't get along. Even if it weren't for what happened just now, Xu Damao would still have stopped Shazhu from buying it.
Yu Li chuckled at Sha Zhu: "Sorry, Brother Zhu, Xu Damao really did say that, but we didn't pay attention at the time. We didn't expect Brother Damao to actually want to buy it."
“What’s the price of this stuff!” Xu Damao patted the dust off his hands. “Buying a batch of your sweet potatoes is nothing to me.”
Sha Zhu finally understood.
Xu Damao must have mentioned buying sweet potatoes, but he didn't say how many.
Moreover, judging from Yan Jiecheng's words, there were conditions beforehand, which should have been the matter of introducing a partner to Xu Damao.
"Oh, okay, then Xu Damao can have this furnace. I'll start the next one later."
Sha Zhu chuckled and didn't take it seriously, after all, he didn't buy the sweet potato just because he wanted to eat it.
Yan Jiecheng and his wife were novices after all, so who knew how well they would roast them? Sweet potatoes are something that can be roasted to a fragrant aroma as long as you don't throw them into the fire.
For a cook like Sha Zhu, roasting sweet potatoes is something anyone with hands and eyes can do well.
There's absolutely no difficulty involved, unless the person is completely naive.
"Hey Jiecheng, the Haitang you just mentioned is your sister-in-law, right? I think I saw her in front of your house before. What a lovely girl!"
Sha Zhu stopped there and didn't continue.
Yan Jiecheng didn't understand anything and continued Sha Zhu's words: "Of course, just like my wife, tall and beautiful, and she's also very good at dealing with people."
Sha Zhu made two "hmm" sounds.
Yu Li, who was standing next to her, finally understood that Sha Zhu was trying to humiliate her.
It wasn't just Xu Damao who was being humiliated, but it included both of them.
Praising Yu Haitang was a veiled insult to Xu Damao, implying that he was a toad trying to eat swan meat, and that the couple were blind to his good looks for introducing their sister to someone like Xu Damao.
"Hey, my sister has very high standards. Brother Da Mao just wants to meet Haitang. My husband and I will try to mediate. As for how it goes, it depends on whether they get along."
Yu Li then tried to smooth things over.
Xu Damao looked around, and finally figured it out.
"Hey, Sha Zhu, so you're swearing here, aren't you?"
Xu Damao rolled up his sleeves, ready to step forward.
Sha Zhu glared at him: "Who swore? Ask Jie Cheng and his wife, did I swear?"
"Xu Damao, let me tell you, don't go looking for a fight. I wouldn't be afraid of two people like you."
The noise from the grill quickly drew the attention of the group of people sunbathing over there.
Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "This is bad. What's wrong with this silly Zhu? Has he forgotten his instructions again?"
It's only been a short while and things have already started to get chaotic.
Yi Zhonghai was worried and got up to go and check on it.
As soon as Yi Zhonghai stood up, several people around him stood up as well, with Liu Guangtian leading the way.
"Da Mao, what's going on? We heard you two arguing over there." Liu Guangtian went over and stood next to Xu Da Mao, clearly wanting to team up and teach Sha Zhu a lesson.
Liu Guangtian's question stumped Xu Damao, who was too embarrassed to answer.
