Chapter 891: Soilless vegetables
After Fei Qinfan left Headmaster Yuan followed suit, he stepped out of the house and went to take a walk around the city. Now that he was aware of the scheme cooked by the Lai family, he no longer had to worry about getting kidnapped.
No one could blame it on him. He was such a charming personality, with his elegance alone anyone could see that he was ——
" Oh, what is this?" Fei Qinfan exclaimed as he looked at the dish brought by a chef who looked up at him and answered, "It's mayo and soft eggs sandwich, my lord. This was what county magistrate taught me—— oh?"
Before he could finish speaking Fei Qinfan reached out and then took a bite of the soft egg sandwich, shocking both Headmaster Yuan and the chef. The chef only brought two pieces of one sandwich and both of the pieces were taken away by Fei Qinfan what was he going to serve Su Wan now?
As for Headmaster Yuan, he was shocked when he saw that both the pieces of sandwiches were eaten by Fei Qinfan. What was he doing? Did he not see his master behind him? How could he eat the samples all on his own?
" Oh, this is good... I have never eaten something like this before, this sauce is delicious. Sweet yet salty, it's also soft and creamy… Madam Su really has some great ideas in her head," he praised but his praises came to a halt when Headmaster Yuan reached out his hand and then clamped on his shoulder.
With an expression that was befitting for a devil, he sneered, " Third prince, did you not see your teacher behind you? How dare you eat everything on your own? What about me huh? Do you not see your master? Is that it?"
The elegance remained forgotten as Headmaster Yuan scolded Fei Qinfan for being greedy. Hearing the commotion, Su Wan chortled and then turned to look at the troubled chef, " There is no need for you to worry. Master Fei is much more picky than me, so if he is praising you then I will take it as you have excelled in your task.
Go to Little Ai and have her hand you, your certificate, you can open your shop once this month passes."
When the chef heard that his shop was allowed to open, he heaved a sigh of relief. Just now he thought that he had to go back home and start from scratch once more as he did not want to waste money and thus made the mayonnaise sauce in small batches.
What was more, Su Wan told him that the freshness of the sauce also mattered which was why he only created small portions and did not dare to use the one that was a day old.
This was something Su Wan deliberately told the chefs as she was worried that they would get greedy and then start using stale ingredients something that would drop the whole reputation of their snack street. And once they lost their reputation, nothing would bring it back.
After the farce ended, Lin Yan turned to look at Su Wan and pinched her on her cheeks before saying, " You little devil. You really did come up with a terrific plan, didn't you?"
Su Wan turned and looked at Lin Yan before saying, " So even you think that my plan is devious huh?"
" It's devious but it's good," Lin Yu stated from the side as he looked at Su Wan gently. " This way no one will be able to trace the matter to us and even if they did try to do it, with Fei Qinfan and Eunuch Xi standing in between, the matter can be dealt with easily."
" This is indeed witty," Lin Rui sat next to Su Wan and then said in a soft voice, "Eunuch Xi is the most trusted aide of the Emperor. If someone is disrespectful towards Eunuch Xi, it will be equivalent to being disrespectful to the Emperor. I don't think that the Emperor would let that slide."
Su Wan leaned against him and then asked lazily, " But I am worried that the Old Master Su might end up escaping. What if he sensed that something was wrong with his wine or food?"
" You don't need to worry about that," Lin Yu smiled and confidently said. " I have been learning medicine from the imperial physician Qu for a long time, thus I can easily concoct a medicine that is odourless and tasteless, I can even tweak its colour such that no one will be able to detect it."
" Let me make it for our dear master Su and once Eunuch Li agrees, we will hand it to him through Master Fei."
He then turned to look at Su Wan and then asked, " Didn't you say that you wanted to teach the town's people how to grow soilless vegetables? Why don't you arrange for the nobles of this town to take a look at it first? Though we are indeed here to develop the commoners we also need to round up the nobles lest the Lai family causes troubles."
In the eyes of the nobles of the Big Ocean City, the Lai family was like a loyal dog whom they could command as they wanted. They could be replaced at any time, so why don't they do it? If they beef up their reputation with the nobles and tie the interests of others with her, the Lai family would think carefully about whether or not to attack their wife.
Unless they were not afraid of backlash they would think over their schemes again and again.
Su Wan of course knew what Lin Yu was thinking. She nodded and agreed, " Thats fine. It's not like I cannot offer soup to the nobles when I am offering meat to the commoners. We might as well distribute it equally lest someone says that we are unjust and unfair." Continue reading on m|v-l'e m,p| y r
After all, soilless vegetables were something that could not be done by just anyone.
