Fate of the Stupid Son Chapter 186

“Please stay, girl.”

An hour later, the three of them came out of the yellow cake shop. Just after turning a corner, they were stopped by the shopkeeper of that other pastry shop.

Smelling the still fragrant mooncake that Xiao Si was holding, he regretted it in his heart.

If he had known that these two children could make snow millets, he would not have treated them that way that day, and he had been taken advantage of by the Huang family’s pastry shop for nothing, stealing a lot of his business.

Song Wangyue and Gu Yi stopped their feet.

The shopkeeper solemnly gave them a big salute, “It was my eyes that were unaware of what happened that day, so please forgive me, you two.”

“The shopkeeper purposely blocked us on the road, I’m afraid it wasn’t specifically to apologise to us, right?”

There was a slight displeasure in Song Wan Yue’s voice, as if she was still angry about that day’s incident.

The shopkeeper was very humble, his posture couldn’t be lowered, “Of course not, I have something to discuss with you, I wonder if you could follow me to the shop.”

“I don’t want to go to the shop, just tell me what you have to say.”

It was half an afternoon and there were many people coming and going on the street, so the shopkeeper felt that this was not the place to talk.

“Not going ……,” Gu Yi said mockingly, “lest we be said to be taking advantage of it again.”

The shopkeeper snapped.

Gu Yi was not polite with him, “If you don’t say anything, we can leave.”

The shopkeeper hastily reached out to stop them, “I want to buy the recipe for snow maiden.”

“Oh?”

Gu Yi seemed to be intrigued, “How much do you plan to pay?”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that there was a door, he hurriedly added, “The price is whatever you want to pay.”

Gu Yi seriously thought about it and said in a serious nonsense, “Xue Mei Niang is a recipe handed down from our ancestors, how about this, we don’t want much, you can just give 100,000 taels of silver.”

The shopkeeper froze.

“What, too expensive? Then forget it, we’re not short of that silver either.”

After saying that, he smoothly took Song Wangyue’s hand and walked around him to leave.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped again.

Gu Yi squinted at him.

The shopkeeper understood that Gu Yi did not want to sell him the recipe, so he deliberately offered such a high price, but Xue Mei Niang was so hot that customers were lining up to buy it there these days, and his shop’s business was in decline.

Gritting his teeth, he said, “One hundred thousand taels is too much, we only buy a recipe for a few hundred taels on a regular basis.”

That’s why he had said that the price was up to them, thinking that they would ask for a thousand taels at most, but he didn’t expect him to open his mouth and ask for 100,000 taels.

Gu Yi snorted, “That’s an ordinary recipe, can you compare it to Snowmist? I’m asking for 100,000 taels because of your sincere apology. Otherwise, I won’t even sell it to you.”

“Then how much silver did you sell to the Huang family’s shop?”

He just didn’t believe that if the recipe was sold for 100,000 taels, the Huang Gao couple would definitely not be able to get it …… let alone 100,000 taels, or even 1,000 taels, they wouldn’t be able to get it!

“I’m a man of action, depending on my mood and fate, I saw that the old Huang couple were agreeable, so I didn’t ask for a penny.”

The implication is that you don’t see eye to eye.

The shopkeeper’s blood rushed to his throat.

“Not only that ……”

Gu Yi gestured for Xiao Si to open the paper packet, “See, this is an ice-skinned mooncake, which is also an ancestral one from my family, and we didn’t ask for a penny of it.”

The ice-skinned mooncakes were still steaming, and at a glance they were fresh from the pot. When the paper bag was opened, the aroma was even more enticing, and not only that, the crust was actually translucent, and the ingredients inside could be seen clearly.

The shopkeeper’s pupils shrank as he watched. Once the ice skin mooncakes started to sell, his shop would really not be able to turn around.

Once again, he gritted his teeth, “Two recipes, and I’ll give 10,000 taels.”

Gu Yi snorted disdainfully, “We can casually come up with a thousand taels of silver notes, do you see us as someone who is short of that ten thousand taels? One hundred thousand taels, no bargaining. If you want to buy it, bring me the money immediately and the formula will be given to you; if you don’t want to buy it, then stop pestering us.”

“This gentleman ……”

Gu Yi waved his hand, “Can’t take it out, can you? Then cut the crap.”

After saying that, holding Song Wangyue’s hand, he once again crossed over him towards the front, and Xiao Si followed, holding the paper bag.

“Boss ……”

The next fellow wanted to say something, but the shopkeeper raised his hand to indicate him not to say anything, and waited for a few people to walk away before he ordered in a gloomy voice, “Follow them up.”

The mate quietly answered yes and followed.

The shopkeeper turned around and hurried off in another direction.

“Young master, Miss Song, someone is following us.”

Not too far away, Xiao Si reported in a low voice with his usual expression.

Song Wangyue raised her eyebrows and did not speak.

Gu Yi gave Xiao Si a gesture, and Xiao Si reluctantly gave Gu Yi the paper packet, “Young Master, you must leave me a small piece.”

“Well done, Young Master will save half for you.”

“That’s what you said, young master, Miss Song testifies.”

Gu Yi kicked him and Xiao Si jumped to avoid it, turning to strut past to meet the stalking fellow.

The mate didn’t expect him to suddenly turn around and come back, and was about to find a place to hide when he heard him say, “Don’t hide, come over and let’s talk.”

The mate smiled awkwardly at him, “Don’t get me wrong, our boss doesn’t mean anything else, he just wants to know where you guys live?”

“And then what, have someone go to our house in the middle of the night and make threats?”

The mate waved his hands in panic, “No, no, you have misunderstood, our boss would never do something like that.”

Xiao Si waved at him and the mate cautiously went over.

Xiao Si grinned at him, “You didn’t follow us to our address, it’s not good to go back, is it?”

The mate subconsciously nodded his head.

Bang!

Xiao Si’s fist hit him hard in the face.

A column of blood spurted up and Junior’s voice came clearly to him booming his ears, “So you can go back and deliver well.”

……

Xiao Si darted into the house when he heard the exclamation of the boy from the dining room.

“Oh my, this mooncake is actually translucent.”

“Look, look, this one is actually filled with watermelon.”

“And grape ones too.”

“The peach one.”

……

Xiao Si flew in, just now in the pastry shop, he was already drooling with greed, and this journey was even more so when he wondered how many times what filling he would pick up to eat when he returned.

“All up, all up, all up, the young master but said, save …… for me”

The words were not finished when he saw the neatly placed, untouched mooncakes on the table and stopped.

“Back.”

Song Wangyue walked in, holding a freshly cleaned knife in her hand.

Xiao Si hurriedly took credit, “Miss Song, I’ve done a beautiful job, you can give me some more.”

“Fine.”

Song Wangyue entered the room and went to the table, cutting each mooncake evenly, one for each of the boys and the coachman, and the remaining three for Xiao Si.
