Chapter 1017: Don’t look at me like I am a bandit

" Ain\'t that right?" Madam Shun nodded. " My husband told me that if I can\'t bring the dishes from your restaurant today then I don\'t need to come back home. Our precious eldest daughter refuses to eat anything ever since she ate the stir-fried vegetables along with braised eggplants and fish with ginger and green onion slices. I thought that we could recreate the dishes at home but she refused to eat it."          

" You really think that I will simply hand you my supplier\'s address and what not huh?" Song Yixu sneered and then said, " You really know how to dream. Not only do I need to give up my share of supplies but also hand you my chef? Why don\'t you ask me to declare you partners of the restaurant ?"      

" You really are stingy, fine we won\'t ask you to hand us Chef Chen but you can at least tell us who is our supplier right? The vegetables that your restaurant sells are all fragrant and sweet, even though there is no meat inside the dumplings, the chives make even the vegetables dumplings with cottage cheese taste good," said Long Ju.      

" I agree with Ju\'er," said Jie Shun. " I just want to get my hands on the vegetables, I promise that I will not steal your business and even stop coming to your restaurant."      

Song Yixu snorted and then said, " Did you not hear? I told you that the supplier has limited supplies, so I cannot share anything at the moment. When her supplies grow then I will tell you to go and buy it from her but till then I can\'t help you."      

She had only asked Yu Dong to not sell the vegetables to any other restaurant for commercial use within the Big River Town and the towns next to it. Other than that she did not want to stop Yu Dong from selling her vegetables to anyone else.      

" Since when did you become so stingy?" Long Ju whined as she looked at Song Yixu who only smiled and then said, " You find me stingy? Fine, then you can kiss your dumplings goodbye."      

Just as Long Ju was going to say something, Song Yixu saw Yu Dong walk inside the restaurant and immediately ignored her friends. She happily smiled at Yu Dong and then said, " Dong Dong, you are finally here."      

Yu Dong smiled as she looked at the tables which were booked to the brim and then said, " Your business seemed to be booming Madam Song."      

" Of course, it\'s all thanks to you because of the vegetables you sell, even the dishes cooked with meat have become even more fragrant and less greasy, with summer coming many people like to eat light and non-greasy dishes and thus the crowd," Song Yixu explained to Yu Dong as she ushered Yu Dong to take a sit inside the restaurant while asking for a server to bring cold water for Yu Dong to drink while asking another to take out the boxes of vegetables from the carriage.      

Seeing Song Yixu treat Yu Dong so well Long Ju and Jie Shun understood something. They exchanged a glance with each other and then tip-toed next to Song Yixu.      

Concubine Jiang saw the actions of the two women and was speechless no matter how good the vegetables were, they should at least act like their age, what were they doing sneaking behind Song Yixu?      

"Brother Jiang, it seems that you will be able to eat fresh vegetables today," remarked Concubine Ren, because of the incident at Yu Dong\'s house she sent vegetables in bulk and did not come for days telling Song Yixu that she needed to take a break because something happened at her home.      

It was a good thing that Yu Dong\'s vegetables did not wither even after being kept for three days and thus not a single customer made a complaint but Concubine Jiang who had eaten the fresh vegetables immediately detected the change as his tongue was quite picky.      

" Ahem," Concubine Jiang cleared his throat and then focused his attention on the book that he was reading and ignored Concubine Ren.      

" Ah, so she is the supplier huh?" Long Ju crept behind Song Yixu and then looked at Yu Dong who was sitting on the stool. Her exclamation surprised both Yu Dong and Song Yixu who patted her chest and then slapped her friend on the arm before saying in a reprimanding voice, " What are you doing? You scared the living daylights out of me."      

" Heh, this is what you get for acting all stingy," Long Ju retorted as she turned to look at Yu Dong, her eyes fell on the fresh lettuce, eggplants, tomato, onion and many other vegetables including the pumpkin that she did not like but upon seeing the beautiful golden colour of the pumpkin grown by Yu Dong, Long Ju suddenly started to crave some pumpkin porridge.      

She gulped and then looked at Yu Dong before asking, " Miss.. would you like to sell some of the vegetables to me and my friend here as well? Don\'t look at us as if we are robbing you, Sister Yixu." She added when Song Yixu glared at her.
