Once the snacks were distributed. Su Wan turned to look at the crowd in front of her and then said, " From tomorrow onwards, you all will learn how to cook these snacks. I will teach five people each from one shop, you all need to bring your own material which is written at the back of the chit. Once you have learned the recipe, you will have to practice it diligently every day.
The same could be said for the butchers. You all are supposed to stay diligent till the end. Don't even think about escaping or skipping the classes. Only when you have gotten my written permission with the stamp of county magistrate will you be allowed to open a shop?"
After she was finished speaking, she added, " Do not take my words lightly. Or else..." she trailed off.
Immediately, the commoners who were sitting in front of Su Wan felt their breaths hitch as they looked at her with confusion in their eyes and asked, " Or else?"
Su Wan calmly swept her eyes at the crowd, though she did not say anything everyone felt a sudden sort of pressure pressing down on their shoulders.
" Those who are not serious towards their work do not deserve such great opportunities. It might sound bad but you all need to remember that when you came to get hired, there were more than twice as many of you than now. You were selected while someone else was let go, if you cannot learn and cherish this opportunity, make sure to remember that others will cherish it.
If I see any of you slacking then I will simply cancel the contract and let go of you while picking someone else up. By then you can only watch others eat meat while you starve! When that happens you can only blame yourself for not living up to my expectations."
Well, there was nothing wrong with Su Wan said.
Though Su Yu Cheng did not want to hand such a grand sum as a tip, he knew that if he did not do it then this courtesan would not help him either. A bit of butter was necessary if one wanted to snatch golden taels from the bottom of a narrow hole.
Once he was done, he spent the night with the woman and returned to the manor. When he walked out of the brothel, it was still early in the morning. Even dawn was yet to break but Su Yu Cheng felt someone walking behind him.
Su Yu Cheng knew that he was being followed and did not dare to take a detour. He returned home with his hands turning clammy and hurriedly walked inside his room. He wanted to hurry to his father and tell him that Su Wan's letter was here and they could deal with that haughty concubine as soon as possible.
But he held back his impatience. If he were to barge inside his father's room first thing in the morning with so many eyes on them, they would see that something was wrong.
Thus, Su Yu Cheng waited until the sun was up and Su Bai and the rest of the family members were done with their breakfast. After that, he pulled Lin Che, the lazy pig with him and then asked Su Bai when he and Lin Che would go to the academy. Throughout the entire time while following Su Bai, Su Yu Cheng did not break his character.
It was only when they were inside Su Bai's room did Su Yu Cheng took out the letter from Su Wan.
" Quickly read it," Su Bai told his son. He really hated the fact that he could not study when he was young. Fortunately, Su Wan sent a few guards to protect them as well, this way the Shadow guards sent by that Su Yiqian did not act up too rashly and they could live in peace inside their rooms.
Although he had dealt with Su Yiqian quite wittily before now that woman seemed to have gotten smarter, it was really hard to deal with her.
And with the missing money in the storehouse, he had a feeling that Su Yiqian was holding back a big move from them. He did not want that move to land on their families before he could find a way to deal with her, fortunately, Su Wan was able to send this letter before it happened!
