Manager Zhou turned to look at Zhao Zhan, his face full of surprise. “Sir, do you know each other?”
Zhao Zhan was from Wangshan Town, and Fang Tianliu was here to try the new dish.
Then this Zhao Zhan…
Manager Zhou’s mind whirred as he rejoiced that he had not offended Zhao Zhan.
Although he was a bumpkin, if he had a good relationship with him, he might be lucky enough to get tofu and soybean sprouts in the future.
“Master Fang, I didn’t expect to see you again.”
Since the other party couldn’t be avoided, Zhao Zhan decided to size him up. he looked up at the other party and said, “It’s just a coincidence.”
“What are you doing here?” Fang Tianliu looked at Zhao Zhan with a look of disdain, “You think you’re so smug just because you got ten silver from me? Do you think that you are rich just because you have ten silver?”
“Let me tell you, in Huai County, these ten silver won’t even make a dent in the economy.”
Zhao Zhan’s expression didn’t change. He looked at the other party and said indifferently, “Are you here for the steamed pork ribs?”
“How did you know?” Fang Tianlu took two quick steps forward and stood in front of Zhao Zhan. “Could it be that this steamed pork rib was also made by you and your little lady?”
“Master Fang, please keep your voice down. You came at the right time to get your first plate of steamed pork ribs. This thing can’t even be found in Wangshan Town. It’s also the first in Huai County.”
“I know that you have a colorful palette, and Sir Zhao is a very good cook. Why don’t you build a good relationship with him?”
Manager Zhou didn’t want the two of them to start a fight in his store. He couldn’t afford to offend either of them, especially since he had already confirmed that the tofu was made by Zhao Zhan.
“Master Fang, you haven’t found any fresh food in a while, have you? It seems that the both of you are young talents, wouldn’t it be great to be friends?”
Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, Zhao Zhan turned around to leave.
“You, stop right there!” Fang Tianlu pushed the manager to the side and quickly caught up with Zhao Zhan. He then reached out to grab him. “I want to be friends with you. Why the hostility?”
Zhao Zhan dodged twice and stood still. He looked at the other person with a puzzled expression. “Friends?”
Was this person’s brain broken?
“Right! I’ll even follow you!” Fang Tianlu puffed out his chest. “How is it? You don’t have to be like that. If you come up with something new in the future, let me have a taste first. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay you well!”
After eating the bean sprouts in Wangshan Town, he couldn’t help but think about it day and night. Later, he couldn’t help but take the risk of his father breaking his legs and quietly left Huai County with his followers to have a taste.
In the end, he actually tasted tofu and dried beans!
That time, he stayed at the Rising Cloud Inn for a full seven days. He repeatedly tried all the dishes made with tofu before returning to Huai County. After that, he was grounded until just recently.
Today, if it wasn’t for his assistant telling him that Huai Jing Inn had a new dish that was as good as the tofu, he wouldn’t have come out before he was even released from his house arrest.
He was not good at studying, nor was he good at doing business. He was not a good candidate for escorting because he could not carry a burden on his shoulders. His only greatest pleasure in life was to eat.
Manager Zhou was right. if he were to fall out with this Zhao Zhan guy, what would he do if he was not allowed to eat any of the new dishes that he crafted?
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you looking down on me?”
“I’m not looking down on you. I just don’t want to be friends with you.”
The man in front of him was unpredictable. Zhao Zhan did not want to have anything to do with him. “Your steamed pork ribs are almost ready. It won’t be good if it gets cold. Why don’t you back?”
