In Yang Cui's view, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. The better the relationship, the more they should talk about money, and the sooner they should talk about money.
Cen Xiao remained silent, but those who knew him well knew that he was not in a good mood at the moment.
Yang Cui added, "I've never rented a house before, so I don't know what the price is. Your place is very secure, and it's not easy for thieves to get in. You're already getting a good deal by renting it to me at the inn's price."
"I'm staying at your house now, and I'll be leaving soon. I'll need you to come and take a look at the house sometime in the future, so I won't ask for money. Let's help each other out."
Yang Cui was stunned for a moment, knowing in her heart that Cen Xiao was helping her. She had to remember this favor and thank him properly later. To be able to have such a good relationship with the young master of the Su family in Kyoto, Cen Xiao must have powerful connections!
You have to hold onto this powerful thigh tightly.
...
With Huanhua Jin's affairs settled, Yang Cui began preparing to teach the chefs at the Star Gazing Tower how to make fried chicken.
Before going, Yang Cui had to arrange things at home. She temporarily entrusted the purchase of earthworms and pig feed to Village Chief An. She made sure to record the quantities and amounts, and then pay Yang Cui in a lump sum after she finished her business.
Yang Cui was relieved that Chen Sumei and her family of four took care of the poultry and livestock at home. Since Yang Cui bought Wang Xile and Wang Ximei, the family of four worked even harder. Wang Ximei even insisted on washing Yang Cui's clothes, but Yang Cui did not let her do it.
The fact that she knows how to be grateful shows that Yang Cui did not make a mistake in saving her.
He taught the chef at the Star Gazing Tower how to make fried chicken, and the Star Gazing Tower provided a carriage to pick up and drop off Yang Cui every morning and evening, while Cen Xiao became her full-time coachman.
With horse-drawn carriages picking her up and dropping her off every day, Yang Cui couldn't keep a low profile even if she wanted to. Every time she went out and returned, she would receive envious glances from the villagers.
Every time the carriage appeared, An Xiuping would be the first to run out to see if the young nobleman would show up.
"Sister Cui..."
That morning, when Yang Cui went out, An Xiuping came and looked at Yang Cui with a hesitant expression.
"Xiuping, is something the matter?"
"Sister Cui, um... why haven't we had any guests at your house lately?"
Yang Cui immediately understood An Xiuping's intention.
Yang Cui pursed her lips, wanting to tell An Xiuping that there was no possibility between her and Su Murong, that even if she were to become his maid, he wouldn't want her, but Yang Cui didn't know how to say it.
After hesitating for a long time, Yang Cui finally spoke: "I can't possibly treat people to meals every day! And even if I were willing to, these distinguished guests might not grace us with their presence. In a rural place like ours, why would those rich young masters be willing to come often?"
Hearing this, An Xiuping felt a little discouraged, and then said, "Then, Sister Cui, could you take me to the city to broaden my horizons?"
"I'm sorry, Xiuping, I have important business to attend to. We can go shopping together another time. I have to go now."
Yang Cui's refusal made An Xiuping very unhappy. She felt that her mother was right. Yang Cui just couldn't stand seeing others do well!
Suddenly, a thought struck her: Yang Cui can make money by frying chicken, so why can't she?
She can make fried chicken too!
