He swallowed the chewed-up steamed bun and took a big bite into that fair, tender hand.
A sudden wave of pain washed over him, and he instinctively released her mouth, trying to pull his hand away.
Tian Sangui's biting skills were honed from childhood; they couldn't be easily pulled out.
"Butler~"
The servant was still watching to see if anyone would appear when he suddenly saw the crazy girl bite his young master's hand.
Without saying a word, he rushed forward to help Zhao Yan pull his hand out.
Seeing that the punishment was almost over, Tian Sangui suddenly loosened his teeth, and the two of them, having used too much force, fell down under the roots of a large tree.
The servant, clutching his head which had been throbbing from the impact, tried to get up and deal with Tian Sangui.
I'll cripple you!
Seeing that he was about to pounce, Tian Sangui nimbly spun around and dodged the servant's attack.
"If you dare to be disrespectful to me again, be careful! With one shout, the whole village will come running. Then I'll expose the letter on your person, and we'll see if the county magistrate arrests you!"
These words stopped the steward from launching a second attack on Tian Sangui, and at the same time extinguished the burning anger in Zhao Yan's heart.
After all, what he did wasn't exactly honorable. He couldn't act recklessly before he got his hands on the girl, and he certainly couldn't let all his previous efforts be wasted on her.
"Hehe, young lady, you misunderstand. It was my intentions that led me to do such a risky thing. Please, young lady, help us this time, since I am sincerely asking for your hand in marriage!"
Zhao Yan stood up and handed over the envelope again, then took out one tael of silver: "Consider this your reward for running the errand. There will be a bigger gift after the job is done!"
For the sake of the money, Tian Sangui was tempted. He could earn one tael of silver just by delivering a letter, so it was a win-win situation no matter how you looked at it.
"Alright, since you're so sincere, I'll help you out. No need for any big gifts afterwards!"
She didn't want to make that troublesome money; she wanted to just do it once.
Zhao Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly handed the letter and silver to her. Just as he was about to touch Tian Sangui's palm, he was glared at by her fierce eyes. Zhao Yan was so frightened that he immediately learned his lesson and held one end of the silver, waiting for Tian Sangui to take it himself.
After Tian Sangui walked away, he looked at the two rows of whitish teeth marks on his palm, including two deep and sharp pits. He reached out and touched them, a triumphant smile spreading across his lips.
"A stray cat with fangs would be fun to play with!"
The butler listened from behind; it seemed his young master had found a new lover.
When Tian Sangui arrived at Yu Niang's house, he had finished his steamed bun. Thinking about what Zhao Yan had said, he realized that Yu Niang had to open the letter herself. But then he had to hand the letter to Yu Niang.
The task was a bit difficult, but looking at the silver in his hand, his lost confidence was instantly restored.
"Knock knock knock!"
He reached out and knocked on the door of Yu Niang's house.
After a series of knocks, Yu Niang's eldest sister came out. Because she had eaten Tian Sangui's cooking last time, she had a good impression of her.
"Hey, San Gui, what brings you here?"
Tian Sangui craned his neck to look inside, but couldn't see Yu Niang.
"I've come to see your third sister. Is Yu Niang here?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Dajuan secretly pouted and reluctantly called out loudly to a corner on the second floor: "Yu Niang, San Gui is looking for you!"
"Come in and wait a bit. She won't be able to come downstairs for a while!"
When Dajuan mentioned Yu Niang, her face was full of resistance, and her eyes were full of disdain.
Invite Tian Sangui to come inside and sit down.
"No, I'll wait for her here. It'll just be a couple of words. I still have to go up the mountain to feed the chickens!"
After hearing this, Dajuan didn't react much. She awkwardly left the door and went inside to do her own work.
After waiting for a long time, Yu Niang finally appeared slowly.
The entire outfit is made of high-quality cotton fabric, and the dress has a beautiful drape and is comfortable. The pattern on the dress is the most popular plum blossom fragment.
Her appearance is so-so, nothing particularly stunning, but her skin is definitely fair and delicate.
Her cherry-like lips are particularly striking, and the skillful application of red lipstick gives her a sweet and delicate appearance.
No wonder a young master like Zhao Yan couldn't forget her.
She still knew Tian Sangui the same as before, and even after hearing her older sister praise Tian Sangui's superb cooking skills, she didn't really believe it.
She's just a country bumpkin; how could her cooking skills compare to the chef that the landlord Zhao hired from the prefecture?
Besides, what good dishes have rural women seen? They can only fool these poor rural women.
"What?"
He looked up at the sky, his tone full of disdain and annoyance.
For the sake of the money, Tian Sangui decided not to argue with her today.
He pulled out the envelope and handed it to her: "The man at the village entrance asked me to give this to you. You can read it yourself. I'm leaving!"
"stop!"
Upon hearing the name of the person at the village entrance, Yu Niang knew who it was. She needed to shut Tian Sangui up immediately, otherwise he would ruin her plans with Young Master Zhao!
Tian Sangui didn't understand what she was trying to say, and abruptly pulled back the leg he had taken.
"Get to the point quickly, I have things to do. Do you think I'm idle if I run errands for you two?"
If Tian Sangui didn't show his power, Yu Niang would really forget Tian Sangui's bullying nature.
The harsh words that were on the tip of his tongue were shouted out by Tian Sangui and disappeared without a trace.
"I...I just want to remind you not to talk about this with outsiders!"
Yu Niang's eyes darted away, and she leaned against the door, somewhat frightened.
Tian Sangui thought it was something important that she needed to convey to Zhao Yan, but it turned out to be just this.
"Tch, I know even if you don't tell me. I'm only helping you two this once. Don't expect me to deliver messages next time!"
Originally, it was Yu Niang who threatened Tian Sangui, but in the end, she was threatened and warned by Tian Sangui instead.
Only after she disappeared from sight did Yu Niang regain her composure, reclaim her former haughty arrogance, and slowly make her way back to her room on the second floor.
When Tian Sangui arrived at the big locust tree, the oxcart and its people were nowhere to be seen, presumably they had left.
Only then did he happily skip and jump towards the top of the mountain.
The mountains are now shaded by trees. Sitting under the shed, sipping a cup of tea, the morning breeze is pleasant and the mood is refreshing.
After feeding the chicks, Zhang patted off the chicken droppings that had accidentally gotten stuck in front of her. Looking up, she saw Tian Sangui sitting in the shed drinking water.
He walked in with a smile on his face: "Are you hot, San Gui? Have you eaten breakfast from the pot?"
As Zhang put down the basket in front of him, her eyes lit up as she asked, "I've eaten, Mother. How are the chicks growing?"
Zhang looked back at her, comparing the chicks' sizes in her mind: "They've grown a lot, and their bodies are starting to turn mottled. I think in a few days we can use the cage your father made and let them roam freely in the mountains!"
Seeing Zhang gesture with her hands to indicate the size of a chick, Tian Sangui had a good idea of what it was.
"Okay, let's come together tomorrow to put the cages in place."
"Once the chicks have stabilized, we'll start buying the second batch!"
Zhang was stunned: "Isn't this enough? Do you want a second wave?"
Tian Sangui smiled and said, "That's not enough. After the second batch goes into the cage, the first batch of chicks will be ready to meet the guests."
"If we don't acquire them in time, we won't be able to keep up with sales. How can we afford to run out of stock of our signature dish?"
Zhang understood. Looking at it this way, it really couldn't be done: "Tianjia Village won't be there so quickly, but let's go to your aunt's village to collect them. Their village is big, they have plenty of chicks!"
It arrives faster than from Tianjia Village, and there's still room for selection!
Tian Sangui readily agreed: "Great! I also need to discuss a business deal with the pottery maker!"
Tian Sangui's eyes were full of joy. Zhang was used to hearing her talk about business. This girl had much more ideas than her. As long as she said it was good, Zhang would never object.
