146 Exalted (1)
As the saying went, there were three joys in life—getting onto the rankings, the wedding night, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
Shen Chuan did not have a chance to do the first two for the time being, but he caught up to the last one. It would be a lie to say that he was not happy.
He treated Su Xiaoxiao and the others to a meal at the White Cloud Pavilion, the most famous restaurant in the prefecture.
The food at the White Cloud Pavilion was not bad. Manager Sun had been here a few times.
Shen Chuan had never lost in prodigality. He ordered a large table full of signature dishes.
“Is it good?” Shen Chuan asked.
“Delicious,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Ergou thought to himself that they were clearly not as delicious as the food she made.
Su Xiaoxiao was on a diet and couldn’t eat too much. She stopped eating the rest of the dishes and slowly pecked at the bean sprouts in her bowl.
Shen Chuan said, “I haven’t asked you. What business are you here for?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Oh, it’s to make snacks at the Wang family’s banquet.”
Shen Chuan said in surprise, “The Wang family? The Wang family that owns the cloth shop?”
Su Xiaoxiao: “Yes.”
Shen Chuan’s eyes widened. “Oh my god, you’re too amazing!”
This was more than just amazing. It was simply heaven-defying, okay?
After all, she had only set up a stall to do business for two months, but she was already welcomed by the rich Wang family.
“Is the price high?” Shen Chuan was not interested in other people’s matters, but he was quite gossipy about Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said lightly, “Not much, 40 to 50 taels.”
Shen Chuan was dumbfounded. Wasn’t 40 to 50 taels a lot? She was too arrogant!
Manager Sun laughed. They had smashed a room full of furniture. They had to pay 50 taels in compensation. They had even lost five taels.
Shen Chuan was full of admiration. “The Wang family has a lot of connections. You guys should have negotiated a lot of other businesses at his family’s banquet, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to save face. “Yes, there’s also the Zhao family and the coming-of-age ceremony. I don’t remember the other two.”
Manager Sun continued to laugh. Yes, they accepted orders, but they were all canceled.
