Chapter 24: Concealment
Soon, Qiao Su Luo, Que Hong Jin and Bai Qian Luo arrived at the county town.
When they arrived at the main street, they saw that there were already people waiting at the place where they had set up the stall yesterday.
"Little female beast, you're finally here. Today is later than yesterday. I had already bought some konjac by this time yesterday."
"Finally I'm here, little girl. Your konjac is so delicious. I bought some for my wife yesterday. She ate an extra bowl of rice with it and urged me to buy more. But when I came yesterday, no one was there. So, I came early this morning."
"Little girl, your konjac cake is really delicious. I'm going to buy more this time."
"This spicy flavor is so delicious. I ate the little I bought yesterday in no time. After eating one, I still want more..."
"I'm going to buy more this time too. I'm going to buy six bowls."
"I have a big family, so I'm going to buy ten bowls this time."
Everyone was talking at once and praising the Konjac.
Qiao Su Luo was very happy to hear that everyone said they liked the konjac cake she made.
Most of the beastmen in the Beast World are straightforward and don't beat around the bush when they speak.
Qiao Su Luo liked such straightforward praise very much.
Qiao Su Luo explained with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. I made some extra konjac today."
The people in the queue were originally planning to buy konjac noodles, but suddenly they smelled a unique fragrance, which was very strong and made people feel very comfortable.
"What's that strong aroma?"
"Little girl, did you bring any other food?"
"It smells so good, I wonder what it is?"
Que Hongjin put down the tofu cart he was pushing, and on it was a wooden box containing tofu.
This is the cart they borrowed from their neighbor.
Qiao Su Luo stepped forward and lifted the cloth, explaining to everyone, "This is tofu. It has a soft, tender and mellow taste."
"I'll cook it when I get home, or stew it with cabbage and fish. It's delicious when I eat it straight."
Someone asked tentatively, "Can I try it?"
Let them try the konjac soup we had yesterday. They should also try this tofu, right?
Qiao Su Luo readily cut a few small pieces with a knife for everyone to taste.
Everyone who has eaten it has been amazed by the taste and has praised it highly, saying, "It's delicious. Although it's not spicy and tasteless, it's fragrant. It's so fragrant. How much does this tofu cost?"
Qiao Su Luo said, "This piece of tofu costs five cents."
Tofu is a rare commodity now and is not available on the market, so she priced it at ten cents per pound.
When she came, she cut the tofu into pieces, each piece weighed about half a pound, so it cost five cents.
If you haven't bought a scale, do this first.
Everyone should be able to accept this price.
"Okay, then give me two pieces of tofu and five bowls of konjac."
"Little girl, I want to buy a piece of tofu and two bowls of konjac..."
Everyone asked how much they wanted to buy. These were all old customers who were willing to spend money to buy konjac noodles yesterday. Their families were well off, so they were happy to buy things.
"Don't worry, everyone come one by one."
Qiao Su Luo collected the money, while Que Hong Jin and Bai Qian Luo were responsible for helping to pack things for the house.
Business is as booming as ever, especially the tofu, which everyone is willing to buy after trying it.
However, some people want to buy dolls, but the dolls have to be sent to Jinxiu Cloth Shop.
After selling the items, they sent the dolls to the cloth shop, where Feng Wanqin was waiting in person and paid her wages on the spot.
In this way, for four consecutive days, Qiao Suluo brought Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo to the county to set up a stall to sell konjac noodles and tofu and also gave away dolls.
"I'll buy some sticky rice after I finish selling things today."
These days she was reluctant to buy anything except some soybeans.
You can buy glutinous rice to make peach blossom wine and malt sugar.
Although I can earn about one or two taels of silver every day, after four days I will have earned four taels of silver.
But Qiao Su Luo felt that if the owner of Zuixianlou looked down on her things, she would still have to save money every day to redeem Tushan Feishang first.
During these four days, she often heard people talking about Master Tushan of Nanfeng Tower. She hoped that he would not turn evil just because of his performance on stage.
Of course, she also had to give one or two taels of silver to her mother and quickly return the one or two taels of silver to the Lu family so as to sever ties with such a family.
Just as Qiao Su Luo and the others were packing up their stall, the owner of Zuixianlou came out.
"Little girl, please stay."
The owner of Zuixianlou was a skinny, middle-aged male beastman. He was neat and tidy, but there was a hint of anxiety between his eyebrows.
Qiao Su Luo was certain in her heart that it looked like she could sell dishes now.
Seeing the calm expressions of Qiao Suluo and the others, the shopkeeper smiled kindly and said, "Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Shopkeeper Zhao from Zuixianlou. Young lady, I see that your work is very good. I wonder if you could discuss a business deal with Zuixianlou?"
"The main thing is that I, Zuixianlou, also want to buy the food you make."
In fact, he asked the waiter to buy some konjac noodles and tofu to try, and they were indeed very good. He made the decision after observing them for a few days.
Zuixianlou urgently needs fresh and delicious dishes to attract old customers back and revitalize the restaurant.
Qiao Su Luo smiled and said, "Okay."
Manager Zhao took them to the restaurant to discuss business.
…
When Qiao Suluo came out of Zuixianlou, she suddenly had thirty taels of silver in her hand.
This is the silver I earned from selling konjac dishes. I had to bargain hard to get thirty taels.
Otherwise the shopkeeper would only want to give twenty taels of silver.
The price of buying out the secret recipe of Konjac Delight for thirty-two lifetimes, so that she will not be able to sell Konjac Delight in the future.
But she can still continue her tofu business.
Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo still felt it was unreal.
The secret recipe of Konjac Shuang was sold just like that. Such a thing actually got thirty taels of silver, which made them feel very excited.
The most important thing is that they saw with their own eyes that Qiao Suluo was talking business with Manager Zhao in an articulate and clear manner, taking the initiative and dominant position.
Otherwise, the price should be no less than thirty taels of silver.
"Okay, now we can go to Nanfeng Tower to redeem Tushan Feishang."
…
In the private room No. 1 on the second floor of Nanfeng Building
A servant knocked on the door and walked into the room, only to see his noble and peerless son sitting at the table, polishing his sword.
There was a solemn and murderous atmosphere in the room.
The servants dared not move.
Tushan Feishang said calmly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
The servant then spoke up, "Sir, that Miss Qiao is here with thirty taels of silver to redeem you."
"How should I deal with this?"
Tushan Feishang paused, "Qiao Su Luo?"
"Yes, sir, it's her!"
Tushan Feishang smiled softly, her voice mellow and gentle, as if a fragrant gauze was touching the heart, but the tone was lazy and cold, and seemed to carry a dangerous murderous intent.
The servant couldn't help but shiver.
At the beginning, Miss Qiao wanted to sell the young master to Nanfeng Tower to humiliate him, but Miss Qiao probably didn't know that this Nanfeng Tower was a property under the name of the young master. It was an art gallery on the surface, but in fact it was a place where the young master collected information.
The young master went on stage to perform in order to conceal his identity.
Because even if the young master's tail is broken, there are still people who want to harm him.
Who would have thought that Miss Qiao actually wanted to redeem the young master again.
