Chapter 280: Happy
Wei Ting helped the “sick” Su Xiaoxiao onto the ship.
The two of them sat down by the window.
The boss of the pleasure boat smiled and served tea. He said to Wei Ting, “The bass is fattening now. The two of you came at the right time. Two big basses just arrived in the morning.”
“Bass is their signature dish.” Wei Ting placed the filtered tea beside Su Xiaoxiao and brought her cup to her. “Steamed is the best. Stewed soup is not bad either.”
The boss of the pleasure boat looked at Wei Ting’s actions with surprise.
Su Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hands and watched Wei Ting make tea.
“Then let’s have a steamed one.”
He was good-looking and his hands were good-looking.
It was pleasing to the eye.
The boss of the pleasure boat smiled and glanced at the couple, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.
“What are you smiling at?” Wei Ting asked.
The boss of the pleasure boat could not help but laugh. “This is the first time I’ve seen Young Master Wei so happy.”
Su Xiaoxiao said strangely, “Is he? How can I tell that he’s happy? He keeps a straight face all day as if someone owes him money.”
Wei Ting snorted.
The owner of the pleasure boat did not disturb the two of them anymore and smiled as he prepared the food.
Su Xiaoxiao had nothing to do. She walked around the pleasure boat and met the lady boss who was wiping the railing.
The lady boss was a talkative woman and was more talkative than the boss of the pleasure boat.
From her, Su Xiaoxiao learned that Wei Ting was a frequent guest of this pleasure boat. As long as Wei Ting was in the capital, he would come once or twice a month.
Gradually, everyone knew that this pleasure boat was under the protection of the youngest son of the Wei family. No one dared to cause trouble anymore.
Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “What does it mean that no one dares to cause trouble again? Could it be that someone has caused trouble in the past?”
“Yes,” the lady boss said with a smile. “It happened a few years ago. My man and I aren’t local to the Imperial City. We spent all the savings we had saved up over the years and bought this pleasure boat from someone else.”
They came with beautiful expectations, but unfortunately, business was never as simple as it seemed.
Without power or influence, it was almost impossible to snatch business from a bunch of people with connections.
In particular, their dishes tasted really good and there were many repeat customers, so it made people even more jealous.
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the days when she fought with Jin Ji in town. It was not difficult to imagine their situation.
“Once, a few guests came up to the pleasure boat and ordered a large table of good dishes. We were overjoyed and thought that there was a big business coming. In the end, halfway through, one of the guests collapsed. They insisted that our food was unclean and someone died after eating it. They raised their weapons and wanted to smash our pleasure boat.”
“What happened next?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The lady boss looked in the direction of the room. Wei Ting seemed to be drinking tea casually, but the lady boss had long noticed that his gaze had never left this little fat girl.
The lady boss smiled and said, “Young Master Wei was also on the boat at that time. He wasn’t with those people. He was in the next room with a friend. He came out to help us out.”
She said it casually, but the scene back then was not so easy.
There was also a considerable force behind that group of people.
Wei Ting was not afraid of them, but there was really no need to offend them for two unfamiliar commoners.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “He’s very righteous!”
Alright, she would give him respect outside.
In the room, Wei Ting drank tea and smiled.
Su Xiaoxiao learned from the lady boss that she was the first girl he had brought over. The lady boss had never seen any girl beside him.
Su Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, “That’s right. There’s no other woman. He already has three sons. ”
The bass was steamed.
Su Xiaoxiao returned to the room.
The boss of the pleasure boat chose a larger bass. The fish scales, gills, and internal organs were removed very cleanly. He used yellow wine and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell. The taste of the soup was not strong, and it preserved the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent.
