Cheng Yu was dazed for a moment as he looked at this beautiful face. He had been blessed by the heavens and had seen the beauty of a country before, but at this moment, this woman, who was clearly just a pretty and delicate woman, had made his heart tremble.
After hearing Jin Weiwei's explanation, everyone came to a realization.
Only the fatty refused to believe it.
"Female red? How could there be a girl red? "How is it possible for a single type of wine …" The fatty's expression was frantic, and he could not help but grab the precious one hundred taels that was on his chest.
"When did I say that this jade pot only contained one kind of wine?" Cheng Yu looked at the fat man again and said slowly. He then poured himself a cup of wine and savored it.
"To be honest, each of these twelve jugs contains more than one type of wine." Cheng Yu happily finished the wine in his cup. He glanced at the fatty who had lost all his heart, and taunted: "Do you really think that my money is so easy to earn?"
In other words, to become a god of wealth like the young master, wanting to earn money from him was a pipe dream.
Cheng Yu then unfolded the rest of the paper and explained the wine in the wine jug one by one. Finally, everyone realized that out of the twelve jugs of wine, the fatty hadn't said a single one correctly.
This seemingly insignificant little girl had actually obtained complete victory!
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim one after another in admiration. Amidst the praises, Jin Weiwei clasped her hands together and repeatedly said, "I don't dare, I'm flattering you …"
The fatty, who was dressed in brocade clothes, had completely given up. He painfully took out the silver bills from his clothes and placed them on the table. He staggered out of the room as if he had lost his soul.
Everyone looked at him with sympathy. Whoever he offended would end up offending Young Master. In the future, in the business world, this fatty would have nothing to do with him.
Cheng Yu handed over the fatty's one hundred taels. Jin Weiwei pushed it back and shook her head. "I've already gotten your money. Logically speaking, this one hundred taels should belong to you."
Seeing that she was adamant on accepting it, Cheng Yu frowned, "Are you looking down on me?"
Jin Weiwei was a bit troubled. She didn't want to owe anyone favors, but because Young Master Cheng insisted on giving it to her, she accepted the banknotes from him while they were in a dilemma.
"Little Fugui …" Jin Weiwei opened her eyes wide.
"How can you refuse a meal in the butcher's shop that Young Master Cheng has taken care of us?" Little Fugui didn't even blink as he spat out these words with a hint of coldness in his voice.
This was a reminder to Jin Weiwei. That's right! Since she had opened a butcher's shop in this county, it was inevitable that she would have to deal with Cheng Jia Restaurant in the future. She quickly cupped her hands and said,
"I accept Young Master Cheng's good intentions. This one hundred silver taels is considered as the payment for the goods. I just don't know if you want my Jin family's sausage or pork and mutton?"
Cheng Yu couldn't help but laugh. Speaking of which, the Cheng family had ordered some sausages from that storekeeper Qian's Tongtong Food Shop. The taste was marvelous, but he didn't know how good the sausages made by this storekeeper Jin would be compared to them.
"I didn't expect that the lady would open a butcher's shop. Since that's the case, how can a hundred taels of silver be enough?" Cheng Yu waved the fan in his hand, indicating the attendant to take out another three hundred silver and give it to Jin Weiwei.
"I like Lady Jin's character very much. In the future, all the pig and mutton in Cheng Jia Restaurant will come from your home!" Cheng Yu closed the fan, picked up a brush, and started writing a contract.
Although this was their first time interacting with each other, Jin Weiwei still trusted Cheng Yu's character. After a cursory glance, the two happily signed their names and pressed their hand seals.
The remaining customers were all flabbergasted. Just like that, they signed the contract?
The speed at which they came to an agreement was simply too astonishing, but that was not important. What was important was that they were working together with the young masters of the Cheng family.
"This little girl's fate is really good!" Some licked their lips in envy.
Cheng Yu still wanted to invite Jin Weiwei for another cup of tea, but at this moment, the face of the little rich man was so dark that it seemed as if he was at the bottom of a pot. Before Jin Weiwei could say anything, he first coldly said, "Young Master Cheng must have other urgent matters to attend to."
Speaking of which, there really was something extremely important going on with Cheng Yu today. In addition to the obvious enmity from Xiao Fugui, how could Cheng Yu not feel it? He stared at the man in front of him, and the regret in his heart grew.
"This man with a picturesque appearance ought to be the young lady's husband, right?"
Jin Weiwei smiled and nodded her head. Very naturally, she reached out her hand to hold little Fugui's arm.
Hate not to see each other before marriage ah, Cheng Yu melancholy.
The attendant whispered in his ear, "Young master, it's almost noon."
Helpless, he could only bow with both hands and quickly bid farewell after finding the address of Jin Weiwei's shop.
As he watched Cheng Yu's back, little Fugui tightly held Jin Weiwei's hand and followed her out of the restaurant.
"Sss, it hurts!" Why do you have to go through so much trouble? " Jin Weiwei rubbed her red hands and complained.
Xiao Fugui looked at her hands and thought to himself, "In the future, don't come in contact with this Cheng anymore."
Why did he suddenly mention this?
Jin Weiwei was stunned for a moment. Then, she reacted and mischievously blinked her eyes. "To be honest, you …" Are you jealous? "
She suddenly jumped in front of Xiao Fugui, laughing innocently. Xiao Fugui's face was expressionless, but his earlobes that were white as jade were suspiciously red.
Tao Xiaoqing silently followed behind the two of them. He looked at them laughing awkwardly while feeling envy in his heart.
Sigh! The boss and the Lady Boss were really close.

At noon, in the village, the farmers who had worked all morning returned home carrying their hoes.
Smoke was rising in the kitchen of every household. Even the birds on the branches were probably hungry and didn't want to chirp anymore.
A carriage stopped in front of the simple and crude wooden door of Jin Xiaoyan's house.
"Young Master Zheng, we've arrived." The coachman whose face was filled with the vicissitudes of life said with a hoarse voice.
The curtain of the carriage was pushed open with a swoosh. A handsome man jumped off. It was Jin Xiaoyan's son, Zheng.
Bang bang bang …
The wooden door was knocked.
Jin Xiaoyan stood up almost at the same moment the door was knocked. She had been listening intently for her son's return.
The door creaked open, and Jin Xiaoyan looked at her son, who had grown taller by quite a bit. Her face was filled with excitement.
Zheng saluted with both hands and bowed deeply. "Mother, your son is back."
There was a warm smile on his face and delight in his eyes.
Jin Xiaoyan was also overjoyed. She grabbed Zheng's hand and said, "Mom's been waiting for you ever since you left for the academy. I've been thinking about when you'd be back. I've been thinking so much about it …"
