Chapter 925

Wanting to eat but cannot eat

The old r brought so vegetables for himself and then returned ho with Little Tian after buying so eggs and chicken breast for himself and Little Tian.

The vegetables and at which he brought were enough for himself and his servant which was why he did not buy more but soon the old r ca to regret it. Because the second he finished cooking and set the al on the table, his daughters, granddaughters and his sons in laws along with their sons-in-law and his great-grandchildren ca looking for him. And that too while carrying bowls and chopsticks!

And the situation beca even more chaotic since he sent an invite to his friends!

He was so stunned that he wanted to buy more vegetables but who would have expected that he would not even buy a single leaf of lettuce when he sent Xiao Tian to the store again since everything was sold out!

A few hours back, the old r returned ho after he made his purchase, since he was not invited to either of his three daughters' courtyard for the new year's al, the old r did not eat anything in the morning and was feeling rather hungry when he returned to his house.

On the way as he was heading towards his own house, he t with a few old friends of his as he returned ho. Seeing him carrying a bag of fresh vegetables, his friends who were sitting outside their houses soaking in sunlight ca looking for him.

Old Master Fu looked at the vegetables and smiled before asking, " Where did you find such a good stock of vegetables? Tell

I will buy them as well, Old Shi?"

Old Master Shi smiled at his friend, he did not hide anything since the shop was so popular already even if he was to hide the na of the shop, his friends will find it sooner or later and replied, " There is a small shop opened at the Main Street, called Bo and Bun shop. You can go there and buy so vegetables for yourself, but let

warn you, the vegetables there are really expensive so make sure that you carry a few hundred taels with you if you want to buy a large stock."

When Old Master Fan heard Shi Song's words, he could not help but frown as he asked, " What do you an? Just how expensive are these vegetables?"

Old Master Shi pointed to the head of lettuce which was so fresh that it looked like that just squeezing its leaves would make water droplets drip from it and then stated in a soft voice, " Do you see this lettuce? It's six taels. And the eggplants are three taels a catty which ans that a catty is equivalent to six taels."

" Eh? How can these vegetables be so expensive? Are you sure that they are even worth the price?" Old Master Fu asked as he looked at the vegetables which Xiao Tian was carrying in his carry bag. Sure, they looked fresh but this price was truly a bit too high!

Old Master Fu looked at the calm expression on the face of his friend and then understood that he was scamd, " Old Shi, I think you were fooled by that vendor. A head of lettuce does not even cost more than three hundred copper coins and in sumr you can buy it for less than thirty coins. How can you purchase the head of lettuce for six taels? This is totally scamming!"

Even Old Master Fan was incensed, he nodded and then said angrily, " Old Fu is right. You were scamd by that vendor, who does she think she is? Just because we are old and our daughters cannot care less about us, does it make us easy targets? Co with , I will take you to yan even if my daughter is not willing to spend ti with her old father, I am still her father! She will definitely show

face in public. We will go and teach a lesson to that swindler!"

As he spoke Old Master Fan reached to grab Old Master Shi's hand and pulled him along.

" Old Fan, you are thinking too much," Old Master Shi shook off his friend's grip from his wrist and then said, " The young lady did not scam , I bought these vegetables from her willingly, it is not like she placed a dagger on my neck and asked

to buy her vegetables, all right? She was willing to sell and I was willing to buy."

But when Old Master Fu and Old Master Fan continued to look suspicious, he sighed and contemplated carefully as he looked at the stock of vegetables which he had bought with him and then said, " Why don't you co with ? I will cook these vegetables and we can have a al together. If you still think that it is not worth it, we will go and talk with that vendor, all right?"

When Old Master Fu and Old Master Fan heard their friend's suggestion, they agreed. After all, they had nothing to do either, their daughters were busy with their own families and could hardly care about their old fathers who had grown old and could no longer play along with them.

The three of them went inside the Shi house where Old Master Shi started cooking while the other two rs helped him along with Xiao Tian. Soon they were done cooking a few dishes which were perfectly balanced with at and vegetables

Old Master Shi was a great cook even though he was the son of an official, he learned cooking from his father who was from the countryside.

He cooked tofu soup with spinach and braised eggplant along with shredded chicken and braised cabbage and lettuce wraps which were filled with minced pork that was cooked in its own fat.

While he was cooking the vegetables, Old Master Shi was stunned to notice that the vegetables slled really great what was more after they were done cooking, they wafted a gentle scent which he had slled many tis in dicinal cuisine which cost more than thirty silver taels!
