The son-in-law of a prosperous family

It’s no wonder that Zhao Yunchuan thought too much. There are really such plots in those TV dramas and novels, and there are quite a few of them.

Maybe Master Chu is a hidden boss.

Mr. Chu's eyes narrowed slightly when he was being looked at, and his whole body immediately revealed a sharpness. Zhao Yunchuan believed even more that he had a vest!

I just don’t know what his identity is when he takes off his vest?

Emperor? Prince?

Or is he some hidden underworld boss or martial arts master?

It can't be the leader of the Beggars' Sect, right?

“Do I have any painting on my face?”

Zhao Yunchuan shook his head: "No, what would you like to drink?"

"Give me half a pound of pomegranate wine!"

The pomegranates in early autumn are plump and juicy, making them perfect for making wine.

Pomegranate wine has a unique and wonderful taste, sweet and sour, not too sweet, nor too sour to be unacceptable. The mellow taste blooms in the mouth in a very gentle way.

The alcohol content is not high, and it is a must-have product for home and travel.

Zhao Yunchuan took the wine pot from Master Chu and asked casually, "From your accent, Master Chu doesn't sound like a local. Where is your hometown?"

It sounded a bit like checking the household registration, which was a bit bad, so Zhao Yunchuan took the initiative to say, "I'm from Tianzao Village, Qingniu Town."

Master Chu immediately became alert: "Stop beating around the bush. Just ask what you want to ask!"

Zhao Yunchuan: ...

Okay, okay, I didn’t expect that Mr. Chu was such a straightforward person, but he really admired people who spoke directly and without effort.

"Then I'll be frank. I heard from Brother Huai that Master Chu wants to build an academy to subsidize the education of common people. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Zhao is not talented, but I have a little savings, and I also want to contribute to this matter."

"But you have to be cautious when investing. I don't want my hard-earned money to go into someone else's pocket, so I have to understand some things clearly."

"If Master Chu is interested, why not come in and discuss in detail?"

Mr. Chu's eyes seemed to pass by casually and gently, like a breeze passing quietly, looking at him vaguely, with a hint of elusive exploration.

Zhao Yunchuan was not at all nervous and just stood there allowing him to look at him.

Anyway, he acts openly and honestly, so what is there to be afraid of? !

"Are you willing to donate money?"

Zhao Yunchuan was so angry that he laughed. Look at what he said. He was not the stingy Zhou Baopi. There was nothing strange about him wanting to donate some money.

“I may not be able to donate a lot, but I want to do my part.”

Master Chu was a little surprised. Most people in the world like to do things to gain fame and reputation, but Zhao Yunchuan seemed a little different. He was unknown here, and even if Zhao Yunchuan made a donation, he would not get any good reputation.

"Why do you want to donate silver?"

There is no need to endure it anymore. Zhao Yunchuan glared at him unhappily.

"Why else? Because I'm kind. I just want to help those I can to the best of my ability. Why would I need to ask so many questions?"

"Do you want to talk or not?"

If you don't want to talk, forget it!

Zhao Yunchuan just didn't believe it. He wanted to do good deeds, but could he not donate the money? How could such a thing be possible in the world?

In the end, the two of them still had a good chat, but Zhao Yunchuan's understanding was only very general. In the words of Master Chu, he was just an ordinary person with a clean background.

Zhao Yunchuan: ...

We clearly had a detailed chat, but why does it seem like we didn’t talk about anything?

Zhao Yunchuan tapped the table with his fingers from time to time, thinking seriously about the feasibility of this matter.

"I can donate silver, but I also have a small request."

"what?"

Zhao Yunchuan's fingers stopped, and he said seriously: "I require that all account books be open and transparent, and I can check the accounts at any time!"

Just like many modern charities, only by being open and transparent can we avoid corruption.

This request was not excessive, and Master Chu nodded: "Of course!"

"At the same time, we should also sign a contract: I voluntarily donate silver, but the donated silver must be used for charity. If you embezzle or embezzle it, you must compensate me ten times the silver!"

No verbal agreement is as real as black and white.

Mr. Chu pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

Black and white words can indeed better constrain both parties!

"Okay, I'm busy right now, you go back first, and we can talk about it in detail someday when we both have time."

Master Chu nodded, stood up and left.

But just as he reached the door, he suddenly turned around. Zhao Yunchuan was confused: "What's wrong?"

Master Chu coughed lightly and said casually, "We are all allies from now on, so we must take care of each other."

Zhao Yunchuan nodded, that’s right!

Unexpectedly, I heard Master Chu say again: "I will visit the tavern more often in the future, and you are also welcome to visit my humble home."

Uh……

I always feel that this statement is a bit strange, but when I think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it!

In all likelihood, he was overthinking it!

"it is good!"

Master Chu stood still and refused to leave. Zhao Yunchuan was even more confused: "Master Chu, if you have anything else to say, just say it!"

Being hesitant and doing things your own way really makes people anxious.

Master Chu took a deep breath, clenched the wine pot in his hand, and then asked with a smile: "It's nothing serious, I just want to ask... when will your family prepare to eat hot pot again?"

He wants to come and have a free meal!

The hotpot was so delicious that he was obsessed with it and couldn't stop eating it.

He also asked the chef to try to make it, but it ended in failure every time. The taste of the food was not even one ten-millionth of Zhao Yunchuan's. It was tasteless and a pity to throw it away.

Zhao Yunchuan raised his eyebrows: "Master Chu likes hot pot very much?"

Since the words had already been spoken, Master Chu no longer hid it and simply admitted directly: "The hot pot is indeed delicious!"

It is one of the most delicious foods here.

"It's a pity that we're not having hot pot tonight, but we're going to have sauerkraut noodles. Do you want some?"

Pickled cabbage noodles...

It was really a very ordinary food, and Master Chu didn't really want to eat it, but he had just said something like that about making friends, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to refuse now.

So he accepted it, and only asked politely: "Will it be inconvenient for me to stay here?"

"No, how can it be inconvenient? It's just a matter of having one more bowl and one more pair of chopsticks."

Mr. Chu stayed, and the three of them ate sauerkraut noodles together in the evening.

The noodles are freshly rolled by hand, smooth and chewy. The sauerkraut has a rich and mellow taste with just the right amount of sourness, but what surprised Mr. Chu the most was the bean sprouts.

Of course, at that time he didn't know that this crisp and refreshing vegetable with a crunchy sound when bitten is called bean sprouts.

"What is this? It tastes quite refreshing!"

Paired with sauerkraut, it’s a perfect match!
