Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The following morning, Zhou Chao was woken up early by Lin Wu. They went for a run together, returned to wash up, and Zhou Chao already felt much more refreshed.
“Well, 1 have to admit, Da Wu did a good job with this breakfast.” Several unique breakfast dishes were arranged on the table, all prepared by Da Wu who had woken up early.
“Hehe, as long as the boss likes it.” Da Wu chuckled with an innocent expression.
Da Wu’s pot of porridge and the various breakfast items were devoured by the five of them. Zhou Chao semi-reclined on a chair in the backyard, while Lin Wu brewed a pot of tea and brought it over to Zhou Chao.
“Ding ding ding.” Zhou Chao heard his phone ringing from inside the house.
“Wang Feng, hand my phone.”
“Here you go, boss.” Wang Feng hurriedly brought the phone to Zhou Chao.
Upon seeing it was a number from Jingdu, Zhou Chao’s lips curled slightly. He had a pretty good idea of who was calling, given that he had taken the other party’s nest which brought about so anxiety.
“Hello, Master Yu, why are you calling so early?”
At the mont, Yu Qian, hearing the words from the other side, was also taken aback. How did he know it was him calling?
“Man, you’ve got quite the connections.”
“Master Yu, please don’t think that way. Aren’t I looking out for you now? And along the way, I just casually bought so stable assets for appreciation.” “Casually bought so?” Yu Qian was left nearly speechless by Zhou Chao’s words. However, it did make sense; the properties in Lao Guo’s household weren’t the kind that would interest soone like Zhou Chao.
“Man, where are you? Do you want to co out for a stroll?”
“I’m in the courtyard by the canal. Master Yu, where are you? 1 can co find you!”
“Wow, man, you’re really sothing! I’d love the opportunity to co and visit your courtyard.” Yu Qian was becoming numb to it now; this host seed quite extraordinary.
“Anyti is fine.” Zhou Chao cheerfully agreed.
“Man, I’m at my horse farm. Do you want to co over and ride so horses?”
“Sure, I’ll give you a call when 1 get there.” Zhou Chao went upstairs, changed into a different outfit, picked up the painting that had been on the table, hesitated for a mont, then put it down and left the room.
“Lin Wu, Wang Feng, co with . Da Wu, Xiao Wu, you two stay here.”
“Understood, boss.” Da Wu and Xiao Wu watched the three of them leave the courtyard.
Yu Qian’s horse farm was located in Lixian Town, in the southern part of Daxing District, just outside the Sixth Ring Road of Jingdu. It would take approximately an hour and a half to drive from Zhou Chao’s courtyard by the canal to the horse farm. When Zhou Chao arrived at the horse farm, it was already around 11 in the morning.
As soon as Zhou Chao arrived at the horse farm, he saw a young man waiting at the entrance for his arrival.
The young man standing at the entrance quickly approached. “Mr. Zhou, hello. My master instructed to co and pick you up.”
“Oh, is your master, Master Yu?”
“Yes, Mr. Zhou.” Zhou Chao could tell that this young man was quite composed and not at all nervous.
“Where is Master Yu?”
“My master said you were coming and it’s almost noon, he’s currently in the kitchen preparing a delicious al to welco you.” Upon hearing that Master Yu was cooking, Zhou Chao beca interested. After all, Master Yu was quite a connoisseur of food, drink, and entertainnt in the Jingdu circle.
“Co on, show what delicious al Master Yu is cooking.” Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s request, the man led Zhou Chou and the others towards the horse farm.
Master Yu’s horse farm was nad “Tianjing Dihua Pet Paradise”. It covered an area of 60 acres. It took Zhou Chao nearly 10 minutes of walking from the entrance to where Yu Qian was cooking.
“Hey, man, you’re here.” As soon as Zhou Chao entered, he saw Master Yu busy stir-frying a large goose in a wok. During the winter, it was a tradition to eat braised goose in an iron pot.
“Master Yu, your cooking skills are impressive, indeed, it slls wonderful!” Zhou Chao could already sll the aroma coming from the pot.
“Master Yu, why aren’t there many people at the horse farm today?”
“My master said you were coming, so we suspended business for the day!” Before Yu Qian could speak, the young man who had guided them earlier spoke up.
“Xiaolong, is that how you talk? Go check if the al inside is ready!” Seeing that his master was getting a bit annoyed, Xiaolong quickly went inside.
“Master Yu, don’t scold him. He didn’t do anything wrong.”
“He’s been with for a while now, but he’s still a bit insolent.” Zhou Chao understood Yu Qian’s intention and didn’t continue the topic.
“Man, your moves this ti are quite bold. It’s like a dragon crossing the river, showing extraordinary abilities. You managed to acquire all six theaters in just one day, no, half a day. Not just anyone can pull that off.”
Yu Qian had to admit Zhou Chao’s grand feat. The key was that they didn’t yet know Zhou Chao’s true intentions, but from the current situation, things seed positive.
“It’s nothing significant. The main reason is my love for codic performances, so I acquired the theaters. This takes away any need for concern on your part.”
“Man, you could say that to Lao Guo. Telling won’t change anything, after all, I’m not soone’s official ‘wife’.”
“Hahaha, interesting, interesting!” When Zhou Chao heard the emphasized words from Master Yu, he laughed. After all, many online referred to Yu Qian as the “Crosstalk Queen,” which instantly brought to mind the “love and hatred” between Yu Qian and Lao Guo.
“Master Yu, is this braised goose in the iron pot ready? I’ve been slling its fragrance for a while now, and my stomach’s ’greedy worms’ have been waiting impatiently.”
“I’ll take a look.” Master Yu lifted the lid of the pot, and a wave of hot air rushed out, filling the courtyard with the aroma of the goose.
“It’s ready. Man, give a hand.” Zhou Chao quickly walked over and held up a basin. The braised goose from the iron pot was soon transferred to the basin.
“Let do it.” Yu Qian took the basin from Zhou Chao’s hands and walked inside with it. Zhou Chao, along with Lin Wu and Wang Feng, followed suit.
As they entered, Zhou Chao realized that the table was already filled with various dishes. The braised goose in the iron pot was just one of them.
“Man, would you like so white wine?”
Zhou Chao knew that Master Yu enjoyed his drinks, even during past performances, he would have a bit to drink. He even caused so funny incidents, but let’s not get into that.
“Bring so wine. I’ve heard that Master Yu’s liquor is top-notch. It’s a rare opportunity to taste it, so how can 1 miss it?”
Master Yu brought out two bottles of well-prepared Iron-Cap Black Sauce Moutai from behind. Seeing this, Zhou Chao’s heart skipped a beat.
“Master Yu, let be clear from the start. I’ll just have this much. After drinking it, we’re done.” Zhou Chao made his stance clear.
“Well, even if you’re up for more, 1 don’t have any extra beyond these two.” Yu Qian shook the two bottles of Black Sauce Moutai in his hand.
“Well, then let’s have a seat.” Zhou Chao took a seat beside him.
The group sat at the table, and Yu Qian poured a full glass for Zhou Chao.
“Man, here, let’s start with a toast.” Yu Qian lifted his glass without any hesitation, and Zhou Chao had no choice but to join in.
As the wine entered his throat, Zhou Chao felt a strong fragrance emanating from his nostrils. “Hiss, good wine.”
In no ti, the two of them engaged in a drinking match. After three rounds of drinks and tasting five flavors of dishes, they quickly finished the two bottles of Moutai. Yu Qian also began to feel a hint of intoxication, but when he looked at Zhou Chao beside him, he seed unaffected.
“Man, with your drinking capacity, you should challenge Ma Wei and Wu Jingjiao to a drinking contest soti.”
Master Yu’s words reminded Zhou Chao, and he suddenly rembered sothing he needed to do.
“Master Yu, if you have a chance, could you introduce to Mr. Ma? I have sothing I’d like to ask him.”
“It’s a small matter. As long as you’ve got good wine, you can approach him anyti.”
“No problem. How about taking to see your horses in the afternoon?”
“Since we’ve had our fill of drinks, let’s rest for a while first and go see them later in the evening.”
Zhou Chao felt a bit tipsy. Although it didn’t affect him much, he still felt a bit uncomfortable. He followed Master Yu to take a break..
