Chapter 192 - 192 Business

192 Business

Although Yue Jiaojiao was squeamish, she never cared about where she was.

During special times, when the conditions could only be that way, she would not insist on pestering him and be needy. Moreover, Zhao Zhan had already given her the best he could.

“I’m a little hungry.”

Zhao Zhan immediately sat at the table and handed over the dry food he had brought.

!!

The weather was cold, and the buns and flatbread could be preserved for a few days. Before he made the decision to go to Hekou County, Zhao Zhan had already made soybean paste with the soybeans at home.

When he took out the soybean paste, Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but exclaim, “Zhao Zhan, you’re such a treasure. You’re more useful than anything I’ve ever known.”

Being looked at by her with such a sincere and passionate gaze, Zhao Zhan felt a little embarrassed. He placed the stuffed bun in Yue Jiaojiao’s hands without saying a word.

“It’s cold out, so the dumplings will cool down quickly. I’ve put meat in it. It’s easy to have a stomach ache if you eat it when it’s cold. Quickly.”

Yue Jiaojiao took a bite of the bun, then looked at Zhao Zhan and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Thank you, your honor.”

Zhao Zhan gave Yue Jiaojiao some instructions, then walked over to open the door a little bit. Seeing that the person who had come was the ship’s manager, Zhao Zhan walked out in a flash and closed the door. “Sir, is there anything I can help you with?”

“You see…” the person rubbed his stomach, feeling slightly embarrassed before he could say anything.

“When you borrowed the stove just now, did you leave a bowl of food on the table? The big guys on the ship had a taste, but before they were satisfied, they had already divided it up and finished it. Everyone enjoyed it very much. What I’m trying to say is… Do you have more?”

“You might not know this, but when transporting goods by sea, you often have to stay on the ship for a few months. It’s always breezy and cold, so we usually won’t heat up the food and force ourselves to get used to the cold. We’re even afraid of heating up a cake.

“If you’re willing to part with it, I will pay for it. I will not let you give it for free.”

As Guan Dai spoke, he took out some money and tried to stuff it into Zhao Zhan’s arms.

“Guan Dai, you don’t have to be so polite,” Zhao Zhan took a step back and said slowly, “I bought this soybean paste from the Hundred Flavors Restaurant in Wangshan Town. If you want it, I can sell it to you at the original price.”

He had harvested a lot of soybeans recently. Before Zhao Zhan came, he had made a few large jars at home. He had also told Fang Tianliu that he could bring the things to the shop to sell in a few days.

Moreover, he had brought a lot of soybean paste with him on this trip so that he could sell it to the people on the ship.

He should take every opportunity he has! However, he didn’t expect Guan Dai to find him so quickly.

“No, I insist on paying. You bought it with your own money! No matter what, this cut will hurt your stomach for a few days. I can’t accept the original price. How about this, I’ll give you an additional forty percent increase for it.”

They were on the ship all day anyway and had no place to spend money.

“I bought this soybean paste for ten silver per large jar. It’s usually sold spoon by spoon in the shop. If you want it, I’ll sell a few jars to you for twelve silver. I happen to buy a lot, so how many jars do you want?”

“How long can this soybean paste be preserved?”

“Three months won’t be a problem in this weather.”

“Then I’ll take as many as you have!”
