Chapter 118 Oh ho

Wei Zhishu glanced at Ma Yiyi, who had started eating first, then picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and as he chewed, the aroma of the braised food burst on his tongue. He paused for a moment, then glanced at Ma Yiyi again.

Ma Yiyi once said that her braised dishes were her specialty, and no one else could do them. So what's going on with the braised dishes on this table now?

When Wei Zhishu glanced at Ma Yiyi, her heart skipped a beat; when he looked at her a second time, her scalp tingled; when he looked at her a third time, she was almost petrified... Anxiety enveloped her.

How should she answer Wei Zhishu's question about the system's problem?

"I..." She wanted to say that this was indeed her special skill, after all, the live streaming system had said that the rewards it provided were unique and would not be given to a second person.

Ma Yiyi chose to trust the live streaming system. When she wanted to say something more, the chat in the live stream reminded her to shut up and not say anything, and she put on a wronged look.

Ma Yiyi forcefully suppressed the urge to explain, and showed Wei Zhishu a distressed and aggrieved expression.

Wei Zhishu glanced at Ma Yiyi and said to Wei Qinxin beside him, "Tomorrow morning, go and buy some braised food so you can take it with you on the road."

"Yes!"

Wei's trusted confidant received the order and quickly retreated.

To prepare for tomorrow, I need to go see Boss Lu tonight.

That night—

Inside the Drunken Dream Restaurant—

The candlelight shone in the accounting room. Lu Xun sat behind his desk with a worried expression. He was happy about the restaurant's business these past two days, but he was also worried about Wei's demands. He wanted to contact Xia Mo and Xia Shenggen right now.

He then realized that he had no idea where Xia Mo and Xia Shenggen lived or how to contact them!

Lu Xun stared blankly, not knowing what to do...

Are you looking for me?

The sounds of late summer came from outside.

Lu Xun's eyes widened in surprise. He hurriedly got up, went out of the accounting office, opened the door, and saw Xia Mo and Brother Xia standing in the courtyard, smiling at him.

"It's as if you can read my mind!"

Lu Xun stepped forward with delight, and the moment he saw Xia Mo clearly, his eyes lit up, and he was captivated by her beauty.

Xia Mo didn't apply any tanning cream, nor did she close her eyes. She simply covered half of her face below her eyes with a towel, revealing her fair and full forehead and bright, expressive eyes.

Just like that, Lu Xun couldn't control his heart, which started beating wildly.

“We’re here to let you know that starting tomorrow, we’ll only be giving you 20 jin of braised food each day. How you sell it is up to you, the owner,” Xia Mo said.

When Lu Xun heard that he would only be given twenty catties a day, it was like a bolt from the blue. He felt as if the sky was about to fall. His eyes widened, and he shook his head and waved his hands: "Twenty catties is too little! No, no! Let's keep it at fifty catties a day!"

The restaurant serves 500 customers a day, and each person gets one serving of 20 jin (10 kg), which is far too little!

“Things are valued for their rarity,” Brother Xia said calmly, glancing at Xia Mo.

Actually, at the end of summer, she couldn't bear to see her parents get up so early to braise so much food, and she felt that earning money was tiring for them.

Lu Xun swallowed hard, staring at Brother Xia for a long while, unable to utter a rebuttal.

Indeed, things are valued for their rarity.

"But twenty catties is far too little!" Lu Xun still wanted to try and negotiate.

"The braised meat is wild game from the mountains. It's already quite rare to be able to hunt 20 catties of wild game in a day. The fear is that it will be difficult to hunt 20 catties of wild game in the future," Brother Xia said.

Lu Xun thought about it and realized that it made sense; the wild animals in the mountains and forests were too unpredictable.

"tomorrow I will……"

Lu Xun was persuaded and stopped insisting on 50 catties of braised food a day. Instead, he talked about Wei Qinxin's recent visit.

“His master’s surname is Wei,” Brother Xia’s face turned ugly for a moment.

Lu Xun looked at Brother Xia in surprise. He hadn't mentioned Wei Zhishu's name either. How did Brother Xia know?

"I can only give you a pound at most, and you have to sell it to him at the price of ten ounces per pound," Xia Mo tugged at Brother Xia's sleeve. It would be a waste not to make money when you can, especially since this money comes from Wei Zhishu. Why not take advantage of it?

Lu Xun stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"They have to pay for it. If you have to pay out of pocket, we'll reduce the amount of braised food we provide by ten pounds," Xia Mo said in a sweet, soft voice, making a threatening statement.

Lu Xun recognized the threat, but the voice was too pleasant for him to be angry.

"Are you sure they'd pay ten taels of silver for a pound?" Lu Xun pressed on, unwilling to give up.

Actually, I wanted to retract that idea by the end of summer.

"Well, you'll have to figure that out yourself," Xia Mo said with a playful wink.

How can I contact you?

Seeing that Xia Mo and Brother Xia were about to leave, Lu Xun hurriedly chased after them to ask what was going on.

“We live in Anjia Village, which is on the outskirts of Anping County,” Xia Mo said, glancing at her older brother Xia. After getting his permission, she gave him her address.

She can't keep using her skills for delivery forever; she has her own things to take care of.

After giving the address, Xia Mo and Brother Xia left.

Stunned, Lu Xun searched his memory for information about Anping County. The moment he remembered the address, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he exclaimed, "Anping County? Isn't that a county town six hours away from here?!"

Lu Xun looked in the direction where Xia Mo and the others had left. Xia Mo and Brother Xia were nowhere to be seen. But he still couldn't help himself and took a few steps to chase after them, wanting to bring them back.

* * *

Early the next morning—

Lu Xun personally led the person through the back door into the inner hall of the restaurant, to a room specifically for handling restaurant affairs.

Lu Xun pressed on impatiently, "What you said last night, that you live in Anjia Village, Anping County, is that true?!"

Xia Mo and Brother Xia's coming and going were like living next door, not like they lived that far apart.

Brother Xia nodded and handed twenty-one catties of braised food to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun took the medium-sized basket and handed it to the kitchen, leaving only one pound of braised food.

Soon, Wei's confidants arrived.

Lu Xun figured the other party was a powerful figure in the capital, so he had no choice but to deal with them first.

"Wait here for me, I'll be right back," Lu Xun said, wrapping the pound of braised food in oil paper and hurrying towards the front hall.

Xia Mo wanted to stay and watch the play, so Brother Xia stayed with her for the time being.

Xia Mo sat in the chair, quickly spreading her divine sense to cover the entire Anning Prefecture City, and then quickly withdrawing it.

哦吼

What did she see?

Her divine sense conveyed Ma Yiyi's current situation back to her.

After much effort, Ma Yiyi managed to raise Wei Zhishu's favorability towards her to 10%. However, because of the braised food, Wei Zhishu's favorability towards her dropped to zero, and there was even a risk of it becoming negative.

What's even more amazing is...

Ma Yiyi's main quest, plundering luck points, also decreased by one point, from 69% to 68%.

The system has imposed a punishment, and Ma Yiyi is currently receiving it. She is writhing in pain on the floor of the inn, as if she has gone mad.

Hahaha……

And there are even more laughable ones.
