Chapter 228: Chapter 228: If she says we can’t shoot, then we won’t shoot
Hengshan the Hermit was quite famous in Haicheng; his Spirit Talismans were hot items at auctions, with rumors that many rich outsiders took flights just to attend the Hongmeng Auction House to buy his talismans.
Cao Jinhai had also heard of this character.
With long hair neatly tied and dressed in a black robe, Hengshan the Hermit exuded an air of a real immortal.
Cao Jinhai’s cold expression relaxed slightly as he frowned and said, “You’re Hengshan the Hermit? But that doesn’t mean you can just barge into the kitchen.”
Hengshan the Hermit didn’t want to, really, but he had smelled a faint whiff of Spiritual Energy, and following that burst of stir-frying aroma that was absolutely delectable, he couldn’t help but follow it here.
“You must be the chef, right? How about this, I’ll buy your vegetables, name your price, let’s be friends,” said Hengshan the Hermit, touching his beard with a smile.
In Haicheng, Hengshan the Hermit was highly esteemed, truly someone with real abilities.
If it were any other time, Cao Jinhai would be quite willing to make friends with Hengshan the Hermit, but now, whoever dared to snatch his vegetables and fruits, he’d fight them over it!
These were personally delivered by Miss Bai, and the dishes for Sunday next week were counting on these fruits and vegetables.
Hengshan the Hermit’s face also grew colder, and he took a step back, saying, “Chef Cao isn’t willing to part with them? Then… then I won’t ask for much, just this cucumber, okay?”
The manager anxiously scratched his head and kept giving Cao Jinhai meaningful looks, it was just half a cucumber, no need to be so stingy, right?
Cao Jinhai’s eyebrows were so tightly knit they could almost kill a fly, and after enduring it for a long time, he finally said, “Half a cucumber.”
The corner of Hengshan the Hermit’s mouth twitched, “… Fine.”
In his entire life, he had never encountered someone so miserly! For one cucumber, he was only willing to give away half.
As Cao Jinhai picked up the kitchen knife to cut, Hengshan the Hermit was still clamoring on the side, “Cut a bigger half, I want the larger half.”
A few minutes later, Hengshan the Hermit, holding that half of the cucumber, left the kitchen full of contentment.
Hehe, joy! He had found a treasure.
In the Juxian Pavilion, there were still quite a few high-class ladies, not all of whom recognized Hengshan the Hermit.
One slightly tipsy wealthy lady saw a man in a black robe holding half a cucumber and her face revealed a suggestive, slightly sleazy smile; another woman looked at him with disgust.
Clutching half a cucumber as if it were a treasure, he must have some special use for it.
Some old men just have to be quirky and play with cucumbers.
Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan emerged from a private room along with a thoughtful Zhou Ying; Bai Chuwei stepped back and nearly bumped into Hengshan the Hermit.
Duan Feihan’s brow furrowed, and he quickly pulled Bai Chuwei to his side.
Hengshan the Hermit shielded his half cucumber and said indignantly, “What are you doing? If you damage my cucumber, I’ll have to settle the account with you.” Content originally comes from N()velFire.net
After that, Hengshan the Hermit carefully protected his half cucumber and hurried away.
Bai Chuwei watched his retreating figure, perplexed.
That cucumber seemed to be the one she brought from Yunwu Mountain, right?
A mere vegetable, is it worth treasuring ?
As the three of them walked outside, during their goodbyes at the entrance to Juxian Pavilion, real estate businesswoman Zhou Ying hesitated a moment before asking seriously, “President Duan, I want to ask one more time, are you really not planning to bid on that plot of land in the east of Haicheng?”
Duan Feihan looked at the girl beside him who was completely bored and a faint smile appeared on his lips, “If she says no bidding, then we won’t bid.”
