The man beside him, who looked like an attendant, glanced at the brocade-clad young master but disdainfully curled his lip, "Young Master, such a woman is too crude."
Yong Cang glanced at him but just smiled without speaking. Instead, he picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and then looked at the attendant, "Shi Tian, go call Shopkeeper Zhu here."
Shi Tian frowned but said nothing and turned to leave.
Shopkeeper Zhu Hengtai soon walked in, very respectfully bowed to Yong Cang, "Young Master."
"Tell me about that girl," said Yong Cang with a faint smile.
"I’m not very sure myself, just last time at the door, that Ha Pudgy tried to molest her and ended up getting beaten up, this time it was her two brothers...," Zhu Hengtai told everything he knew, "Miss Yang’s personality is very forthright... She should stay in the county town for a few days. I heard she’s staying at Yuelai Inn..."
Yong Cang nodded, raised his hand to signal Shi Tian, "Go book two rooms at Yuelai Inn, try to get them next to hers..."
"Young Master..."
Yong Cang’s expression instantly darkened.
Shi Tian dared not say anything more, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.
At this moment, a clerk was looking for Zhu Hengtai at the door.
Zhu Hengtai hurried out, but quickly returned, this time holding a jar, "Young Master, Miss Yang has already left. Because I waived her bill, she left behind a jar of Divine Sauce..."
"Divine Sauce?" Yong Cang’s eyes glittered for a moment, "This thing..." He had come to Baihua County this time because he heard about the Divine Sauce from Quanshun Building in Lianhua Town, so delicious that fairies would descend from the heavens to taste it, yet the supply was limited each month, no matter how much money was offered there wasn’t any spare, and now unexpectedly...
"They say Miss Yang is an excellent cook," Zhu Hengtai, ever so sharp, immediately thought of that and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be..."
"Remember, when you see her, be sure to make a good connection," Yong Cang smiled, for he had come to Baihua County for the Divine Sauce, sensing a huge business opportunity, and he hadn’t expected it to come so effortlessly.
"It’s possible though..." Zhu Hengtai was somewhat worried. It might just be something she bought.
"No matter what, she is worth getting to know. What you did before was very good..."
"Yes!" Zhu Hengtai urgently and respectfully responded.
Of course, Yang Ruxin was unaware that she had become the object of someone’s attention. After full bellies and satisfaction at Taibai Building, she left with her family as it was still early, so she suggested going for a stroll, while Qian Er was dispatched by her to inquire about houses.
None of them had been to the county town before, and the idea of going shopping thrilled everyone.
Indeed, the county town was much more bustling than the town, and the shops offered a wider variety of goods, especially clothing. Here, there were ready-made clothing stores with fabric qualities ranging from high to low.
They chose the largest and most impressive-looking store named "Colorful Clothing Store" to enter.
Inside, it was indeed grand, with a dazzling array of ready-made garments.
Perhaps because it was just after noon, there weren’t many people shopping, so only their family was in the Colorful Clothing Store.
"Feel free to browse," the young clerk greeted them earnestly, "Our store specializes in ready-made clothing. Take a look and see if there’s anything suitable. If you find the sizes not right, we can also tailor-make or alter them on the spot..."
