Naturally, why his father appeared in this place was not important.
What was important was, why was his dish gone?
Could it be that his father had stolen and eaten his dish?
Thinking this, Wu Shu's gaze towards Wu Yihao became wary.
"Daddy, where's my dish?"
Wu Yihao smacked his lips and said, "I ate it!"
Wu Shu felt a blockage in his throat, unable to speak or remain silent.
After a while, Wu Shu asked, "Why did you steal and eat my dish?"
Hearing this, Wu Yihao's eyes widened, "What do you mean steal and eat your dish! I raised you this big, you eat mine, eat mine, and now I eat some vegetables, what's wrong? What's wrong!"
Listening to Wu Yihao's indignant shouting, Shen Xiaoyan, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.
At first listen, this statement seemed to have some logic.
But was that really the case?
After the initial shock, Wu Shu had already reacted.
A scholar could be killed or humiliated, but food could absolutely not be discarded.
"Daddy, you are wrong. Taking without asking is considered stealing. No matter how eloquently you speak, you are still stealing."
Wu Yihao blinked awkwardly. The fact was indeed so.
However, it was absolutely impossible for him to bow his head in front of his son.
Wu Yihao's eyes widened, and his expression instantly turned extremely stern, "Your father ate it, what do you want to do about it?"
Wu Shu found himself speechless.
What could he do?
This was his father. If he were to lay hands on him, it would be an act of great rebellion.
Moreover, the most important thing was, he couldn't win.
But thinking of the exquisite taste from before, Wu Shu felt like crying again. Such a delicacy of the mortal world, missed just like this.
This was more agonizing for him than killing him!
Just as Wu Shu was feeling sorry for himself, he heard his father, Wu Yihao, speak:
"Thank you all for your generous hospitality. I, Wu, have eaten this meal with immense satisfaction. However, the portion was a bit small. Are there any more?"
Hearing this, Wu Shu's eyes lit up.
Yes.
How could he have forgotten?
Wasn't the person who cooked it standing nearby? He had the time to argue with his father, perhaps he could get another table of dishes.
Wu Yihao looked at the regret on Wu Shu's face and felt very pleased.
See? This son, no matter what, could still not compare to his father.
At this moment, Zheng Wei said, "We are pleased that everyone is satisfied. This meal was prepared by my wife for everyone to taste. If you haven't had enough, please come earlier tomorrow. We will start selling various spirit vegetables tomorrow, and the variety will surely be more than today, and the taste will only be better."
Although he couldn't eat it today, Wu Yihao still felt a bit regretful.
But hearing Zheng Wei say that they would start selling tomorrow, with more variety and better taste, he felt happy again.
What satisfied him was not only the good taste of the spirit vegetables but also the feeling of spiritual energy slowly entering his dan tian.
To be able to feast his eyes and also increase his spiritual energy, if he were to miss such a good thing, then he would have lived those many years in vain.
Furthermore, as the lord of this Yingcheng, he had plenty of crystal coins, if nothing else.
Thinking this, a hearty smile appeared on Wu Yihao's face, "Young Master Zheng, please don't be offended. It was my oversight. Since that's the case, my son and I will definitely come early tomorrow morning."
As for what they were coming for, Wu Yihao didn't need to say more.
Zheng Wei also smiled friendly at Wu Yihao. This was a big customer.
"It is our honor that the Fortress Lord likes it, haha."
For a while, the host and guests were all happy.
The surrounding people, who had come back to their senses from the delicious food, watched this scene and sighed in their hearts.
Many people present, although they couldn't eat spirit vegetables every meal like Wu Shu and Wu Yihao, had eaten some to varying degrees.
But every time they ate in the past, it was not as good as this time.
Although Zheng Wei and the others had not yet stated the price, they could imagine it.
With this kind of variety, the price would definitely be higher than ordinary spirit vegetables.
Under such circumstances, if they wanted to feast their eyes again, it would be a very difficult matter.
Therefore, while eating, they were also thinking in their hearts, "At worst, we'll just snatch it."
After all, among Zheng Wei and the others, apart from two who had cultivation, the rest did not even have any cultivation.
Wasn't this a big fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered?
If they didn't make a move, they would be truly sorry to heaven for letting them meet Shen Xiaoyan and the others.
However, before this idea had even fully formed, they saw the Fortress Lord.
Looking at the Fortress Lord's attitude, their thoughts instantly disappeared.
The Fortress Lord was going to buy them, so if they dared to snatch them, wouldn't they be looking for death?
Looking at the empty plates in front of them and smacking their lips, savoring the delicious taste from before, everyone let out a heavy sigh.
Since the matter had been settled, Wu Yihao did not intend to stay any longer.
Since the father was leaving, he had to take his son with him.
Before leaving, Wu Shu did not forget to take the people in the courtyard with him.
Everyone followed behind Wu Shu and his father, sighing in their hearts. Looking at the situation, it seemed unlikely that they would be able to eat these spirit vegetables in the future.
Shen Xiaoyan and the others stood by the door of the Siyang House, watching Wu Yihao and the others enter the city gate before turning around and entering the courtyard, closing the door.
As soon as the door was closed, Lu Taobao's face showed a look of ecstasy, "This is truly a pillow sent when one is sleepy. We just wanted to enter the city to sell vegetables, and unexpectedly, the vegetable sellers sent themselves to our door. Most importantly, the buyer is the Fortress Lord. Now, do we still need to worry about crystal coins?"
Na Muzhong said confusedly, "Even if he is the Fortress Lord, how much can they, father and son, eat? It's still far from the crystal coins we need."
Lu Taobao shook his head, "You are wrong about this. Listening to you, I can tell you are not cut out for business. Think about it, he is the Fortress Lord. If the Fortress Lord comes to buy our vegetables, once this news spreads, all the forces, big and small, in Yingcheng will buy them out of respect for the Fortress Lord's face. Once they buy and taste them, will they eat other people's spirit vegetables in the future?"
Hearing Lu Taobao's words, Na Muzhong thought carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.
"I didn't expect this, your brain is still quite useful."
Lu Taobao raised his chin, "Isn't that obvious? Don't you know what I did before?"
Na Muzhong suddenly realized. That's right, Lu Taobao was a businessman before.
Since he was a businessman, he was naturally skilled in these matters.
"If that's the case, then tomorrow will be up to you," Shen Xiaoyan said with a smile.
Lu Taobao was stunned and said, "What is up to me?"
"Receiving and seeing off guests."
Hearing Shen Xiaoyan say this, Lu Taobao became even more confused.
Shen Xiaoyan looked at the confused gazes of Lu Taobao and the others and had to explain, "Isn't this easy to understand? This is not like Da Chu. The transmission of information here will definitely be faster. Moreover, there were so many people present just now. Once they enter the city, they will surely exaggerate what happened today. In this way, the scene Lu Taobao just described will only arrive sooner."
After Shen Xiaoyan's explanation, Zheng Wei and the others understood.
Each and every one of them looked at Lu Taobao and said earnestly, "In that case. Then, it really will be up to you. In this aspect, you are considered an expert. For the task of receiving and seeing off guests, none of us, except you, can handle it."
Lu Taobao could only put on a bitter face, not knowing what to say.
Although the meaning of these words was to praise him, why did he always have a strange feeling?
