Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

After hearing this, Mr. Liu nodded slightly to show his approval, but he still had doubts in his heart. After all, a single bag of grain sample was not enough to fully determine the quality of the entire batch of goods.

However, this person in front of me actually dared to say this. I guess the quality of this batch of grain, even if it is not as good as the one in this paper bag, must not be too bad.

He also didn't want to dwell too much on this issue so as not to affect the cooperative relationship between the two parties, so he decided to put this question aside for the time being and wait and see what happens next before making a decision.

"Okay, brother, you are so generous! It makes me look stingy. Let's go, we must drink a little today!"

"Okay, Mr. Liu, we can't drink too much today. It is said that drinking makes people forget things. What if we drink too much and forget about our business today? Haha!"

When Mr. Liu heard Xu Damao's joke, a smile appeared on his face.

He felt that Xu Damao was a reliable young man. Although he was a little cunning sometimes, he was very good at doing business.

Moreover, this cooperation is very important to them. If it can be completed successfully, it will bring them huge benefits.

Thinking of this, Mr. Liu's mood became cheerful, and he warmly invited Xu Damao to drink and celebrate together.

Mr. Liu walked ahead with steady steps, his figure as light as a phantom, as if weightless. The shadow beside him followed him closely, guarding him like a loyal guard.

Xu Damao, Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang followed slowly behind him. Their pace seemed a bit leisurely, but their eyes revealed a sense of alertness and expectation.

The four of them walked out of the gold shop, walked forward for about a few dozen meters, and then turned into a narrow alley. The alley was filled with an old atmosphere, with mottled walls and moss-covered ground.

After entering the alley, the group continued to walk deeper. When they went about a hundred meters into the alley, Liu Erye took the lead and walked into a courtyard. Although the courtyard was a little shabby, it exuded a peaceful and mysterious atmosphere.

"Hey, Master Liu, you're back! Why are you back so early today?" A woman who looked to be in her thirties came out of the house after hearing the voice coming from the yard. She was wearing a floral cotton coat, with a graceful figure, a pretty face, and a charming charm. When she saw Master Liu, a charming smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she greeted him warmly.

"Chunlan, we have distinguished guests today. Go and ask Master Zhang to prepare a sumptuous meal. By the way, don't forget to ask him to make a portion of his specialty tofu for my new friend to have a taste." Master Liu responded to Chunlan with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of excitement.

"Go and make a pot of tea for the guests." Mr. Liu instructed the woman.

"Young man, this is my wife." Mr. Liu turned around and introduced her to Xu Damao.

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away." The woman responded obediently, then turned and left.

"Three of you, please come this way." The pretty woman glanced at Xu Damao and the other two, especially paused at Xu Damao's handsome face, then smiled and waved her hand sideways.

"Thank you, ma'am." Xu Damao bowed and went straight into the main room with Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang.

It is worth mentioning that there were actually servants who lifted the door curtain for them and let them enter the house.

"Second Master lives a very carefree life. I am ashamed of myself." Xu Damao glanced at the pretty little maid and made a casual teasing remark, which scared Zhang Tietou next to her.

I didn't expect that my eldest brother would dare to make fun of the second master.

"Haha, sorry to have embarrassed you, little brother." Master Liu said with a smile.

The five of them sat at an octagonal table in the middle of the main room and began to chat. Xu Damao and Mr. Liu Erye were the main talkers, while Zhang Tietou, Huang Genwang and Mrs. Liu would occasionally chime in.

Xu Damao had lived two lives as a human being. He was already knowledgeable in his previous life. Moreover, he knew how the world developed later, so he had a lot of fun chatting with Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu was also secretly surprised. Although the young man said he was only 19 years old, he felt like he was facing an old fox. The old scholar next door might not know as much as he did.

"I wonder what your family does?"

Mr. Liu couldn't help being curious, and even though it was against the rules, he still asked.

"A working-class family? What else can they do? Work in a factory! These days, what family can compare to a working-class family?"

Xu Damao also told the truth.

"Ah, yes, yes, working people are the most glorious! Hahaha."

Master Liu laughed.

"Little brother, I'd like to ask you something. Looking at your samples, I don't think this thing of yours came from the south."

Xu Damao's heart tightened, thinking that maybe Mr. Liu had seen something? However, he remained calm on the surface and said with a smile: "Oh? How do you see that?"

Master Liu smiled, revealing an unfathomable expression: "Little brother, don't be nervous. When I was young, I also spent some time in the south."

"Besides, wheat from Henan, Hebei, Shandong and Anhui has been shipped to the capital before, but the quality of that wheat cannot be compared with yours at all." Master Liu couldn't help but express his doubts.

Hearing what Master Liu said, Xu Damao smiled and said confidently, "Haha, Master Liu, don't worry. This batch of wheat of mine is definitely legitimate and there is no problem. As for its specific origin, I will tell you in detail after we complete this transaction."

Seeing Xu Damao so sure, Liu Erye stopped asking questions and nodded to show his agreement.

After a while, a young girl came in carrying a large tray. On the tray were several carefully prepared cold dishes.

Seeing these exquisite dishes, Zhang Tietou immediately stood up, carefully took the tray and placed it on the table.

The dishes on the tray were very rich, including hand-shredded chicken, braised beef slices, cold shredded radish, boiled peanuts, cold shredded ear, etc. In addition, there was a plate of cut Beijing white pears as a fruit after the meal.

Xu Damao looked at the table full of delicious food and couldn't help but admire: "Second Master, you are so thoughtful to prepare so many delicious dishes. It must have taken a lot of effort to make these dishes so exquisite, right?"

Mr. Liu smiled and replied, "Haha, our chef Zhang used to work at Fengze Garden, and his cooking skills are quite superb! So today I specially asked him to cook in person, and I hope that everyone will be satisfied."

"Good food goes well with good wine. Chunlan, go to my bedside table and get the bottle of Lotus White." Master Liu said to Chunlan with a smile on his face.

"Okay, master." Chunlan responded and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
