If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu from Liu's Rice and Grain Store turned around and looked at Mr. Zhang. He put down the tea bowl in his hand, put his hands together on his knees, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"

Zhang Dongjia was already angry when he saw his offer, and he was even more angry after hearing what he said. He pointed at Liu Dongjia and shouted angrily: "Your offer is seven cents lower than the market price. This is a loss-making business. How can you do business like this?"

The other two bosses also looked over. After reading Mr. Liu's offer, they were also shocked and puzzled, but they were not as impulsive as Mr. Zhang.

Feng Yizhen and Chu Zeming, who were sitting opposite, and even Meixiang, who was sitting on the other side of the curtain, pricked up their ears to see what Mr. Liu had to say.

"I said I am happy to lose money, do you have any objection?" Mr. Liu replied with a smile.

Not only Zhang Dongjia was angry, but the two rice shop owners in front of him were also a little angry when they heard this. Liu Dongjia saw that he was about to anger his father-in-law and quickly continued, "Just now it was a joke. The three of you were born and raised in Liuzhou Prefecture, and I am the only outsider. I was able to settle down in this prefecture and even have a small fortune now. This is really inseparable from the care of your parents and fellow villagers. My mother always taught me that 'one should not forget the well digger when drinking water'. If I don't charge you a penny, my small shop really can't afford it. This time I will give you a little more profit, which is also my little thought to Liuzhou Prefecture."

When Mr. Liu said this, it was as if he was explaining something that everyone knew. Even his tone was flat without the slightest ups and downs. However, it was these few words that successfully made Mr. Zhang and the other two's faces turn from red in anger to red-purple, then pale, and finally to a redder red than at the beginning.

"Brother Liu, look at what you have done. Why didn't you inform us in advance about such a good idea, so that we wouldn't be in such an awkward situation now? Besides, you can't be the only one doing good deeds, right?" Zhou, the owner of the largest rice shop in Liuzhou Prefecture, who was sitting in the first seat, complained.

"Yes, yes. We have been colleagues for so many years, but you didn't even tell me in advance."

"This is a bit too unkind, really."

"Oh, I thought you were my good brother, but you kept this a secret from me."

The owners of Zhang's Rice Shop and another owner of Yang's Rice Shop also reacted and started complaining about Liu's owner.

"Yes, yes, yes, I was indeed a little inconsiderate in this matter. I won't do it again next time. Please forgive me, brothers." Boss Liu stood up and saluted to the three bosses for mercy.

Feng Yizheng and Chu Zeming looked at each other and couldn't help laughing in their hearts. Although they didn't know why Mr. Liu did this, they were happy to see things develop to this point.

Looking at the old foxes who changed their attitude according to the situation, Feng Yizhen cleared his throat and said, "On behalf of the officers and soldiers of Liuzhou Prefecture, I would like to thank the four masters for their generous donations."

At this time, Chu Zeming also spoke up: "The Princess also accepts the favor from all the masters. On behalf of the Princess, I would like to thank you all for your help to Liuzhou Prefecture during its difficult times."

Ah, Boss Zhou, Boss Yang, and Boss Zhang, who had just been secretly cursing Boss Liu for being a flatterer, felt much more relieved instantly after hearing this. It was worthwhile to make Princess Haoyue and the Liuzhou prefecture government owe them a favor and lose some money, so their tone became warmer.

"Oh, what are you two talking about? It is our honor to be able to do something for the Princess and Liuzhou Prefecture."

"Yes, yes, Brother Liu is very thoughtful. It is really shameful to be a local whose ancestors lived in Liuzhou Prefecture."

"From now on, if there is anything we can do, just give us the instructions, my Lords."

At this time, Chen Da walked in quickly with a square box in his arms. He first glanced at the four owners sitting on the left, then turned to Feng Yizheng and Chu Zeming sitting on the right and bowed and reported: "Reporting to the two gentlemen, I have completed the statistics of the 12,000 troops of Liuzhou Prefecture. Please have a look." After that, he handed the wooden box tightly in his arms to Chu Zeming, who was closest to him.

The two were delighted to hear that they had arrived at the right time. Chu Zeming reached out to take the wooden box from Chen Dadao and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. Let Aunt Li give you some chicken legs tonight. Brother Feng and I will pay for it."

When the four bosses heard these seemingly casual but joyful and sincere words, their expressions froze. What does this hard work have to do with chicken legs? Why is it that the words of this new boss are so hard to understand?

Chu Zeming hurriedly opened the box in his hand, picked up the top sheet of statistics designed by Meixiang and read it in advance. The more he read, the more relaxed his expression became. Except for the brown rice, the total number was slightly higher, and the others were lower than the number reported by the four owners just now. He handed the paper in his hand to Feng Yizhen, who was looking at him eagerly.

Feng Yizheng read it at a faster speed, then looked at Chu Zeming and stood up: "I'm sorry everyone, I have to excuse myself for a moment." After saying that, he grabbed the paper in his hand and walked towards the door curtain of the inner hall.

Liu Dongjia, who had been silently holding the tea bowl, quickly looked up at Feng Yizhen after hearing this. After a flash of his eyes, he pretended to be calm and continued to drink tea, but his thoughts were rolling in his heart and he could not stop. He had a vague feeling that there was someone behind the curtain that led to the inner hall since he entered the reception room of the government office. Later, when he saw Master Feng and Master Chu coming out from inside, he confirmed his guess.

Perhaps the three members of Zhou Dong's family who were in Liuzhou Prefecture did not know who the two young masters sitting opposite them were, but he knew them best. Jizhou was not far from the capital, and the deeds of the four young masters in the capital had spread to the prefectures around the capital long ago.

He had seen Master Situ and the eldest son of the Sun family on the streets of the prefecture some time ago, and now he saw the other two mentioned in the legend, plus the newly appointed princess. It was something he had never expected that the five great figures of Haoyue would gather in this remote Liuzhou Prefecture. If he took this opportunity to hug the princess or any of the four masters, then he would not have to worry about not being able to completely get rid of those disgusting people in Jizhou.

Thinking of this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but release a sense of hostility and resentment from his body, causing Chu Zeming to turn around and look at him.

It was this plain look that made Mr. Liu sober up instantly. The hostility and resentment dissipated, but he broke out in a cold sweat. He was indeed one of the four famous young masters of Haoyue, with such a keen perception.
