Chapter 198 Zhao Family’s Specialties
"There's nothing wrong with that!"
Zhao Rui smiled slightly, "These guests were indeed sent to my inn by the Second Young Master Xiaoyilang. There should be many people who can prove this."
"Manager Zhao really knows how to joke!"
"We were just showing you the way and helping your inn with some business. It would be fine if you didn't say thank you, but you're actually blaming us. Are you trying to blackmail us?"
Old Master Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Rui.
This account book actually recorded the accommodation and food expenses of the Ministry of Rites and the imperial envoy's guards when Yan Jing came to convey the imperial edict for the second time.
"Xiao Yilang misunderstood!"
Zhao Rui immediately waved his hand again.
Then, another box was carried in from outside the door. It was a very heavy box and was placed heavily in the yard of Old Xu's house.
"Because of Second Young Master Xiaoyilang's benevolent act, he has taken care of the business of my inn and expanded his network. My Second Master is very grateful for this and has asked me to give you a thank you gift. I hope Master Xu will not refuse it!"
“…”
Mr. Xu was speechless for a moment.
Too careless!
It was really sloppy!
Old Master Xu felt annoyed.
But this frustration did not last long, and Mr. Xu regained his composure.
Since it is inevitable to come into contact with the Zhao family, then temporary gains and losses are nothing.
There is still a long time!
"Manager Zhao is so polite!"
"We're all from the same village, and your inn has been very supportive of my restaurant's business. I'm introducing you to a few customers, and I don't deserve your gratitude!"
"Please take these things back with you!"
Although Mr. Xu didn't see what was in the box, judging from its weight, the things inside must be of great value.
Until now, he still hasn't figured out what his uncle is trying to do.
Thinking back to what happened in the past, Mr. Xu didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhao family from the bottom of his heart.
"It's just some local specialties, Xiao Yilang, please don't refuse!"
Zhao Rui always had a smile on his face.
After he finished speaking, he bowed to Old Master Xu and continued, "My second master said that from now on, we will all live in the same village and will inevitably interact with each other. I hope Xiaoyilang can take care of me!"
"I have something to do at home, so I'll be back soon!"
After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he immediately left with his men.
"father!"
Boss Xu looked at Old Man Xu with a face full of shame.
Arranging those people from the Ministry of Rites to go to the Zhao family's inn was the result of his discussion with Xu Laoer. He originally just wanted to make things difficult for the Zhao family.
Who would have thought that this traffic jam would eventually come to my home.
Old Master Xu glanced at Boss Xu and said, "Every failure is a learning experience. Just don't underestimate the other party anymore!"
What else can a father do except bear the trouble caused by his son?
Beat up the two sons?
If these two sons were not married yet, Old Master Xu really wouldn't mind giving them a good beating.
As for now, he had to save some face for his two sons in front of their wives.
However, even Mr. Xu did not expect that the Zhao family would be so patient and wait for a loophole in the dragon boat race before bringing up the previous events.
"Let's see what thank you gifts have been sent!"
Old Master Xu pointed to the box placed in his yard.
Xu Laoer immediately stepped forward and opened the box, then was stunned on the spot.
The moment the box was opened, the light was dazzling.
A box full of silver ingots sparkled in the sunlight.
Looking at the box of silver, Old Master Xu suddenly remembered what his mother had said: she didn't know if he would ever have the chance to receive local specialties from his grandfather's family in his lifetime. She also said that just a small box of local specialties would be enough for him to have enough food and clothing.
It turns out that this is the Zhao family’s local specialty!
The first chapter has been sent to you. My mouth ulcer has healed and I feel refreshed. However, my father Qiqi is a little busy today, so the update may be a little late. Please understand!
