Su Qing glanced at them and didn’t mind. Presumably, it was Second Master Su’s family matter, so she left the cloth shop.
After leaving the cloth store, Su Qing went to the grain and seasoning stores. She had a lot of things to buy.
In the cloth shop, Ji Shuisheng and Su Hanxuan were having a good time talking. The two of them regretted not meeting each other earlier. Although Su Hanxuan was a businessman, he had both the elegance of a scholar and the boldness of a seasoned businessperson. His words and actions were open and aboveboard. He was a person with an outstanding personality.
As the few talked, the waiter hurriedly entered the back hall and whispered into Su Hanxuan’s ear. The smile on Su Hanxuan’s face disappeared when he heard the waiter’s words. He stood up anxiously and cupped his hands at Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang.
“I’m sorry, something happened at home, so I must return immediately. I’ll let Brother Yang take care of the two of you on my behalf.”
“Since Brother Su has something to do, we won’t disturb you further. Let’s return to the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency with Brother Yang to discuss the escort matters.”
Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang hurriedly stood up and returned Su Hanxuan’s greeting. They could see that Su Hanxuan was very anxious, and his eyes were filled with anxiety.
“I’ve already ordered people to reserve a private room at Xuanxiang Restaurant. You two go with Brother Yang first. After settling the matters at home, I will go to the restaurant to meet up with everyone.”
Although Su Hanxuan was very anxious, he still sincerely invited Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang.
“Hanxuan, go ahead. I’m here!”
Yang Zhi knew about his family’s matters, so he didn’t want him to be polite anymore. He could entertain Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang himself.
“Alright, thank you, Brother Yang.”
Su Hanxuan cupped his hands at Yang Zhi and left quickly after saying politely.
His footsteps were hurried, and he was no longer as calm as before.
“Please.”
Yang Zhi gestured for Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang to enter before bringing them to Xuanxiang Restaurant.
Su Qing went to Fragrance House, the largest spice shop in the back street. It sounded like the name of a restaurant. This spice shop had everything Su Qing wanted.
Seeing a guest who was dressed lavishly, the waiter immediately came out to welcome her warmly.
“Young Master, what condiments do you want to buy?”
Usually, the rich and powerful families would let the servants in the kitchen buy condiments. Even the servants would throw a list over, and the spices would be delivered to the door after the condiments were done.
Those young masters from prestigious families would not set foot in their seasoning shop. They disliked the smell here and were afraid of being contaminated.
“I need to buy a lot.”
As Su Qing spoke, she walked into the seasoning shop. The waiter followed behind her and introduced their products. He bragged about their full range of spices and praised Su Qing for choosing his shop.
“Our Fragrance House’s seasonings are all genuine. Young Master has good taste.”
Su Qing was immune to his flattery and remained expressionless. She looked around the seasoning shop and grabbed all the seasonings to verify whether they were new or old.
Seeing Su Qing like this, the shop assistant felt uncertain. Why did this noble young Master seem to know everything?
“Bring me a pen and paper. I’ll write a list.”
Su Qing saw that the condiments in this shop were all new from this year. They were indeed good, so she asked the waiter for a pen and paper.
“Alright, please take a seat, Young Master. I’ll go and get a pen and paper now.” Hearing that Su Qing would make a list, the waiter was overjoyed. He was even more enthusiastic than before, serving tea and snacks. This was a big business. Su Qing picked up the pastry and glanced at it. It was far inferior to Su Hanxuan’s golden silk cake. It felt hard to the touch and did not have the unique sweetness of pastries.
She casually put down the pastry and picked up the teacup. After taking a sip, she put the teacup down.
It couldn’t be compared to Su Hanxuan’s high-mountain tea. After drinking high-mountain tea, this was tasteless.
Su Qing didn’t realize that her taste had been raised after drinking tea and eating a plate of golden silk cake at the Su family’s house!
After the waiter brought a pen and paper, Su Qing wrote down all the seasonings she wanted.
The Host didn’t know how to write with a brush. Xuan paper and ink were so expensive, so the Liu family couldn’t bear to let her touch them.
Su Qing’s calligraphy was as smooth as flowing water. She had practiced it when she was the god of war to calm down the hostility in her heart.
The shop assistant saw that the words written by this thin and weak young Master were majestic and vigorous. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
“Prepare the goods according to the quantity on this list.”
Su Qing filled a piece of paper with words, and the amount of each seasoning was considerable. The waiter was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth.
“Young Master, please have a seat. I will go and stock up now.”
Not long after the waiter left, the shopkeeper personally came to entertain Su Qing. He changed to the good refreshments for the distinguished guests and asked Su Qing with a smile,
“Young Master, what is your name?”
“Su.”
Su Qing’s attitude was cold. She only wanted to settle the transaction and didn’t want any entanglement.
“Is this the Su residence on North Street?”
When he heard the name of the Su family’s shopkeeper, he thought of the Su family, the wealthiest family in Luo City. This was a big client that had to be pulled over.
“No.”
Su Qing didn’t know about the Su residence on North Street. She shook her head coldly and picked up the teacup to block the tea leaves with the lid, making a clanging sound.
The shopkeeper could tell that Su Qing didn’t want to talk more, but he wanted to build a relationship with him, so he said,
” Young Master has ordered quite a lot of seasonings. Young Master only needs to leave the address. Fragrance House provides delivery services.
“No need.”
Su Qing refused immediately. She wanted to put all these things into the system. There was no need to deliver them at all.
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly. This young Master’s personality was arrogant. He didn’t give others any face at all.
But weren’t all rich people like this? Since the other party didn’t allow them to send him off, it would save them a lot of trouble!
Soon, the waiter had prepared all the condiments that Su Qing wanted. There was a lot, so Su Qing borrowed a wheelbarrow from the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper again offered to deliver the goods, but Su Qing refused. He had no choice but to order the waiter to bring Su Qing the wheelbarrow they used to deliver goods.
The waiter helped Su Qing pack the condiments. Su Qing asked them to put all the condiments in a big sack for convenience. The waiter helped to tic the sack to the barrow and asked kindly,
“Young Master, it’s cumbersome. Shall I help you deliver it?”
“No need.”
Su Qing refused again. She tucked his long robe into his belt and pushed the wheelbarrow away.
A cold and arrogant noble young master pushing a wheelbarrow filled with a large sack. This scene attracted the attention of the commoners on the road.
Su Qing didn’t look at them. She pushed the wheelbarrow and walked steadily. She went wherever there were fewer people.
She would find a remote place to throw the sack of spices into the system. However, Luo City was bustling. Even the side streets were full of people. It was not easy to find an empty street.
However, Su Qing was not in a hurry. As long as she was far from the bustling streets, there would always be an empty alley. Someone saw her pushing a wheelbarrow with a large sack on it. The shape of the bag seemed to contain a person.
The man ran away in a hurry. Su Qing didn’t notice him. He pushed the wheelbarrow into the deserted alley.
As soon as she entered the alley, she heard someone shouting outside, “That’s him. He entered the alley..”
