As the merchant ship docked, there was already an unremarkable carriage waiting.
The young master disembarked, and Yan Yi followed behind, got into the carriage- the carriage drove out of the pier, passing an intersection. This was when the young master’s nose reacted, something smelled so good, he asked the servants to stop the carriage, and opened the curtain to have a look.
Many people were surrounding a stall, and the aroma came from there.
“Which stall does the young master wish to eat from? I can buy it for the young master.”
Yan Yi jumped out of the carriage while the carriage continued to drive towards the inner county.
Yan Yi didn’t need to ask his young master what food he wanted to buy, because according to his young master’s personality, he wouldn’t know which one was delicious, so he bought everything for sure.
Yan Yi was well dressed, tall and buff, with sharp eyes, it was obvious he was not someone to mess with.
When he stood in front of the stall, he was very eye-catching, even Wei Cheng who was busy with his hands couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him.
Seeing that the person was queuing up in a regular manner, Wei Cheng treated him like an ordinary customer.
It was Yan Yi’s turn, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he ordered one serving of each food, but extra two servings of teppanyaki and two servings of flatbread, and he also specially ordered the shrimp teppanyaki bought by the previous customer.
He also got hungry just by looking at it, he didn’t expect such delicious food from a small stall.
Yan Yi never thought that there would be no food boxes at the stall, but when Wei Cheng told him that he should eat first because there was none, Yan Yi frowned. Wei Cheng explained to him, “The stall is a small business, there are no ready-made food boxes, we have to buy one first after a big order, otherwise you won’t be able to take it away.”
Yan Yi felt that the boss was very careful, so he ate first.
Wei Lei went to buy the food box as he was familiar with the pier, Wei Cheng felt that Yan Yi should be a guard or something, and the things that had to be packed away were ones he bought for his master. Wei Cheng had confidence in his family’s food, but it’s not something for the nobility so he asked his wife to mix coleslaw, cold noodles, and he only chose lotus root, fungus, cucumber, and bamboo shoots for the vegetable salad.
When Wei Lei bought the food box back, Yan Yi had already finished eating, he packed his bags, and hurried back with the food box and a bottle of sour plum soup.

The carriage stopped at Tai Fu Lou, the largest restaurant in the inner county.
The steward of the restaurant knew that the master was coming, when he saw the carriage, he hurriedly greeted him, welcomed him into the private room, and ordered the waiters to bring up the ready-made wine and dishes.
“Third Young Master.”
All the stewards of Tai Fu Luo stood at the side, waiting for orders.
Yun Chengfeng sat in the main seat, sitting casually and lazily, not opening his mouth for a long time.

“Third Young Master, this…” Steward Quan was startled at but was quick to change his words, “Wouldn’t Eldest Young Master need to know?”
“He asked me to come to learn but he didn’t stipulate where I should be. If I want to stay here then I will stay in the county. If I want to go to the prefecture then I will go to the prefecture. Anyway, you can tell him where I am when the time comes. Don’t say anything else at the moment.”
Steward Quan understands the temper of the master in front of him, without the suppression of the eldest young master, his temper is like a wild horse- unruly, and he does things according to his preferences.
Steward Quan is a subordinate, and he can’t control his master anyway. He remembered the letter from the young master, it mentioned that Yan Yi followed him here so where is he?
“Third Young Master, is Yan Yi not with you?”
Yun Chengfeng waved his hands lazily as he said, “I asked him to buy food for me.”
Steward Quan was stunned. In Nanshan County, if Tai Fu Luo says that they are second then no one would dare to claim to be number 1.His young master had eaten delicacies from varying mountains and seas. Now he was curious about what food caught his young master’s attention.
But at this hour—
“Master, you must be hungry after traveling and traveling, and this subordinate has already ordered someone to bring the food.”
The man knocked on the door and the food was brought.
A table was filled with different food one after another.
Yun Chengfeng didn’t eat much on the boat, and seeing the table full of dishes, he was hungry, he didn’t wait for Yan Yi to come back so he just prepared to use his chopsticks.
Yun Chengfeng had just taken a few mouthfuls when Yan Yi knocked on the door while carrying a food box.
“Master, I bought some food.”
Yan Yi saw Steward Quan, the two knew each other so they greeted one another.
Yun Chengfeng asked someone to put the food on the table, Yan Yi did after all order this in his command and the food was freshly baked and smelled fragrant.
Shrimp teppanyaki, egg flatbread, a few dishes of coleslaw, jelly, and sour plum soup in a ceramic bottle.
Yun Chengfeng is tired of the dishes in his own restaurant so he doesn’t bother eating his own dishes when he sees the new ones.
He picked up the chopsticks and tried everything, all of which Yun Chengfeng had never eaten before. The taste was not only delicious, but also very appetizing. This made him, who had developed a bad appetite during the journey, suddenly open up his appetite and was very satisfied with the food.
Yan Yi was serving him food at the side, he had eaten at the stall, and he knew that it was indeed delicious.
Steward Quan knows about coleslaw, which sells well in the inner county, but he has never tried it. Recently, he has been busy with the arrival of the third young master, so he had no time to try it.
Steward Quan retreated and asked the servant to inquire. He knew that it was from a food stall at the wharf and that the stall was booming in business, so he sent someone to inquire about other news.
After Yun Chengfeng finished eating, he asked Steward Quan to come in.
Pointing to a few dishes, except for the egg pancake, he said to Steward Guan, “Buy the recipe, Uncle Quan, you can make them yourself.”
The teppanyaki should’ve used a special sauce, the coleslaw is refreshing and appetizing, women would like jelly and other desserts more. He thought of some elders in the family, after buying the recipe, he could send it to them to be courteous, and then complain to them, they would definitely order the eldest brother to let him come back early.
Sour plum soup is sweet, sour and cold, a suitable drink for the current weather. Although these dishes are not grand, they can also add publicity to the restaurant.
He chose to come to Nanshan County first and has already found a good recipe, it seems that he made the right choice.
“Your subordinate will go now.” Steward Quan accepted the order.
“Let’s go back to the other courtyard, I’m tired.”
The Yun family mansion is located in the south of the inner county, and it is one of the largest mansions. A young master of the Yun family has returned, and all the famous and powerful families in the inner county have heard the news, and they have sent requests to visit.
All were rejected.
Steward Quan knew his young master, he very much disliked socializing.
The Yun family has a deep background, and the upper-level powers in Nanshan County have a certain understanding of them. Although the real power of the Yun family cannot be found out, they will not feel slapped in the face if the master of the Yun family refuses to give face.
It is not the first time they were rejected.
They all smiled and dismissed it, and told their children to go to Tai Fu Luo more and keep their eyes open, so that they could meet the Yun family and make friends with each other.
Which one of the children of the famous family is not the master of arrogance, they are obedient when they are in front of their elders but they don’t take the advice seriously when no one is looking.
On most days, these young masters are focusing on spending money and earning their reputation as extravagant young masters.
After Wei Yuan returned to the village, he told his mother how to resettle the extra vegetables according to Wei Cheng, and then Aunt Lu went to these families again. The other families would not have any objection as Wei Cheng said, when they said that they would not accept vegetables for two days, they said that they understood.
Wei Lei went to the village chief. After the village chief heard what they were gonna do, he also knew that this was Wei Cheng’s biggest concession so he agreed, and then he gathered the dozen or so families, and that they could sell at most five catties. If they were willing to sell it, they would bring it tomorrow to Wei Lu’s to sell. Of course, all the families do not want to let the vegetables rot so the dozen or so families agreed one after another.
A lower price is better than rotten vegetables.
“Which family has brought in so much this morning, there is a limit, don’t fish in troubled waters or Wei Lu’s family will not accept it, if they really don’t then don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
“Yes, of course-”
The family who originally planned to pick more vegetables to take over had some thoughts, but this time they really did not dare to make extra moves.
The next day, the acquisition of vegetables went smoothly.
They bought all the extra vegetables and transported them to Wei Cheng’s house- it was to be kept there until the next day if they can’t be used up that day.
It was, at most, two days worth of vegetables.
Spraying water on it can also keep it fresh.

Tai Fu Luo came to their door.
The meeting time they gave was the closing time of the stall.
Since someone was willing to give him a pillow as he was about to doze off, there was no reason for Wei Cheng to refuse.
He accepted the invitation and planned to arrive on time tomorrow afternoon.
The messenger went back with his acceptance.
Tai Fu Lou, the largest restaurant in the inner county, has a profound background.
Wei Cheng agreed to Tai Fu Luo’s invitation tomorrow, so he had to prepare some things so that he could use them at that time.
It was not only Tai Fu Lou who was thinking about his recipes, but there were also several restaurants whose business had declined because of Wei Cheng’s stalls. After inquiring about it, they even sent people to buy food. After eating, they all agreed that they must buy the recipe, intimidating a small-time stall owner would be an easy thing to do.
Before these few restaurants made a move, they were already doomed to fail.
The vegetable issue fix seems to be working, for now. Do not trust that village.
