Old Master Ji

Chef wang looked at the backs of the leaving girl and a little older than her boy and wondered how they grew such nice vegetables at this time of the year. His apprentice told him that there are vegetables for sale and they should seize the chance to buy as after winters mostly the vegetables comes a little more later in summer.

It was extremely out of order for them to get vegetables this early but chef wang was extremely happy to provide vegetable to the top floor where all the rich young masters sit squandering the money hard earned by their parents or grandparents. Not that he minds them squandering. The more they squander the more profit he makes, the wealthier his young master becomes.

He was happy to see such fresh vegetables when he was only expecting some worn out but normal usable vegetables.

He went to the diners of the top floor and asked them what they would like to eat after adding the corn and soybean twist to the menu.

The riches were fast to notice a high price dish and placed the orders as if running in a race while he didn't really mind anything and accepted whatever order they placed. He kept the price totally unacceptable to other floors but this floor will pay for this price happily. 4 silver taels, an amount he paid for the whole vegetable and rice he brought. He could make the profit of the whole year if those two kids get him more vegetables. And he wishes they do.

Xiulan got up a little later than usual causing grandfather An to worry about her, thinking she used too much of her strength and tired herself out Afterall according to them she is using her vitality to work on the fields. He was almost close to barging in the room which he shouldn't, after all she is a little girl.

Xiulan told him that she is perfectly fine just got a little tired from journey and today they again went to the market with more vegetables than yesterday.

They set the same price as yesterday and today they even brought little Weicheng to play around a little. Little Weicheng looked around curiously while holding his sweet rice ball wrapped in sweet leaves in a sack.

Every now and then he took a little out of his sack and ate while making his elder sister eat a little too while Wu Che who was on other cart salivated a bit causing little Weicheng to throw one at him which latter grabbed with his mouth and sighed in relief.

This is something he ate for the first time this morning which his junior sister made with lots of efforts according to him as every dish seemed so perfect to him. They were amazing. This rice thingy helps in digestion according to what he is told, it also helps with chronic diseases which he doesn't understand and his junior sister didn't care to explain too.

He looked at ahead to see the town and helped park the horse cart they got somewhere to sell but before he could even get to the place he decided, he was called away by the chef they met yesterday who stared creepily at his junior sister.

He is still staring creepily at his junior sister.

Paedophiles!

His junior sister is what? A child of age 13 without the knowledge of this world but this old man is staring at her this creepily, so annoying!

He looked at the old man smiling creepily looking at the vegetables and then at his sister and decided they don't want to do the business anymore with this guy when Xiulan stated the price and head chef wang paid while telling them to wait a little so that he can bring his master to meet them.

Head chef wang called his young master and old master who wanted to meet the people who brought so many vegetables enriched with spiritual qi and sold them at such a low price.

It should be known that if anything has spiritual qi, even a little of spiritual qi, that can be sold at a much higher price than the one they presented.

His master told him to make sure those children meets him if they came again. He can make a contract with them to get more spiritual qi enriched food.

"Hohoho, so you are the little girl and boy who sold those vegetables yesterday. In this season the vegetables are really scarce yet you guys can sell such fresh vegetables, astonishing! Are you from around here?" Old master of Ji family inquired as he looked at the kids who in his opinion seemed very clean and clothed to be just some little farmers.

"This master is right, we are from around here only and about the vegetables, we are farmers and farmers can grow anything they want easily with expertise…" Xiulan said in a very upright and prideful manner but the world held respect and momentum towards the old master surprising him and assuring him that the girl is not some farmer. She can't be. Such grace at such a young age with beauty that excludes from her eyes, can't be from the eyes of a little farmer. Those eyes, he has seen them before too but he just can't remember on who.
