Chapter 33 - Trouble Is Coming

Lin Yuxing considered it and realized it was true; he was familiar with almost all the home-cooked dishes. A skilled chef could easily prepare them, so he nodded, “Alright, I'll show you how to enjoy five home-cooked dishes.”

In other words, he earned another ten silver taels. For an average family, this was a substantial sum. Building a simple house in the countryside would only cost about ten silver taels.

Upon hearing Yu's words, the shopkeeper was somewhat surprised. After all, no one wanted to eat boar water, let alone enjoy it, but this brother could cook many dishes with it. This was a source of wealth, making the shopkeeper think more highly of him.

So Lin Yuxing demonstrated to the shopkeeper how to prepare the vegetables for the pig's lung. When he took the wild boar meat and the boar water, it was nearly noon, so he quickly grabbed his bamboo basket and headed to the pharmacy.

The “Welcome” pharmacy was the town's renowned medicine shop, but the shopkeeper seemed a bit lethargic, suggesting the shop might not be open for much longer.

The shopkeeper didn't even lift his eyes when he saw Lin Yuxing enter. To him, this lad from the countryside was probably here to sell some common medicinal herbs, the kind that were abundant at the foot of the mountain. He had plenty of such goods, so he wasn't very interested.

He couldn't afford to offend this young master, who was the boss's son, and the shopkeeper had no authority.

Lin Yuxing silently shouldered his basket and took the pig meat and water to leave. Since they looked down on him, there was no reason to cooperate. Besides, if a dog bites you, would you bite back? What's the difference between that and an animal?

“Wait, isn't this Lin Yuxing?” The young master spoke, and a few servants blocked his path.

Lin Yuxing frowned, looking directly at the young man, finding him familiar but unable to place him. “Please move aside,” he said, his voice calm and emotionless.

“Oh my, it really is Lin Yuxing. Aren't you crippled yet?” the young man said maliciously.

Lin Yuxing laughed and retorted, “Where did this fly come from, buzzing so annoyingly?”

After he said this, even the servants couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
