Sitting in the private room opposite was Xie Jingrui. When Liu Yueru saw him clearly, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Xie Jingrui poured himself a drink, took the teacup and raised it to Liu Yueru, making a gesture of invitation.

Liu Yueru withdrew her gaze and looked at Jiang Yishu, but Jiang Yishu also quickly withdrew his gaze from Liu Yueru.

His hands tightened slightly, and then he stood up and poured tea for Liu Yueru himself.

Her current status made it inconvenient for her to stay with the man for long, so she went straight to the point and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Jiang wants to talk to me about today?"

Jiang Yishu lowered his eyes, slightly hiding the lost look in his eyes, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down again.

He raised his hand and said to Liu Yueru humbly, "Don't worry, Madam Liu, why don't you eat something first, and I will talk to you slowly."

I didn’t have time to eat in the morning, so I felt a little hungry now. I just moved my chopsticks a few times symbolically.

Jiang Yishu brought each dish towards Liu Yueru, his eyes sweeping across her face from time to time.

Unconsciously, a warmth rose on his face and his heart began to beat faster. He kept asking Liu Yueru to eat more.

After Liu Yueru finished eating, she put down the chopsticks in her hand and raised her eyes to meet Jiang Yishu's burning gaze. Liu Yueru was stunned for a moment.

She quickly withdrew her gaze from his face, took the teacup and took a sip, then spoke, "I have something else to do later, I wonder why Mr. Jiang is here?"

After returning yesterday, Le Chuan told Jiang Yishu about Lord Liu's affairs, before Liu Yueru could say what she was thinking.

He first took out the medicines that could suppress the poison in Liu Zhengtang's body. Jiang Yishu had rushed out a small box full of them overnight. "I heard that your father is feeling unwell. These pills may be able to alleviate his condition."

Jiang Yishu pushed the exquisite box in front of Liu Yueru as he spoke.

Liu Yueru took the box, opened it and saw a box full of pills. She was very grateful and asked, "Are these pills able to suppress the poison in my father's body?"

Jiang Yishu nodded slightly, his voice softened. "Yesterday I received a reply from Madam Liu, saying that you had something to ask of you. I guess Madam Liu doesn't need anything, and there's nothing else she needs from me. I heard from the servant next to me that your father seems to have been poisoned by a Gu, the same kind of Gu found in the Dali Temple yesterday. I happen to have some at home, so bring it with you, and let Madam Liu take it back for Lord Liu to try. If it works, I'll ask someone to get it from the Dongyang Bank."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. How much silver is this?" Liu Yueru raised her hand to take her purse.

Jiang Yishu's eyes flashed with sadness, but he quickly raised his face and said to Liu Yueru humbly, "No need to be polite. This thing was placed at home a long time ago and has never been used. I heard that Lord Liu was guarding the frontier areas in the past. I wanted to visit him, but now he has suffered so much. I also hope that Lord Liu can recover soon. This is for you."

Liu Yueru didn't want to owe anyone anything, so she opened her mouth to say something.

Jiang Yishu was worried that Liu Yueru would say something to make him unhappy, so he spoke first, "I do have something to ask of you."

Liu Yueru was about to accept it, then turned around and looked at Jiang Yishu in confusion and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's about the grain store No. 1. Yesterday, I was familiar with the streets of Kyoto and accidentally entered the grain store run by Madam Liu. I wanted to sell some grain shipped from other places in Madam Liu's grain store."

After Jiang Yishu finished speaking, he stared at Liu Yueru closely.

She seemed to be thinking about something, and then said calmly, "Since Mr. Jiang has visited the shop yesterday, he must have known about the dishes and their prices. I opened the grain shop to solve the food problem of the people in Kyoto. If I want to make money from it, I'm afraid my small shop won't be able to sell at a good price."

"I don't know what kind of grain Mr. Jiang wants to sell?"

Jiang Yishu nodded, indicating that he understood what Liu Yueru said. "The food I have is something that people in Kyoto may not have seen. It is food that is unique to the south. Besides, the food is not particularly valuable, so it is in line with the prices in Madam Liu's grain shop."

Seeing Liu Yueru's expression moved, he continued, "The reason why we chose to help sell the food in Madam Liu's grain shop is because the people in Kyoto have never eaten those things. Madam Liu has a certain weight in the hearts of those people. In this way, even if those people have never seen them, they will try those foods because of Madam Liu, and slowly those foods can be promoted."

“Let more people accept this food.”

Liu Yueru remained silent and listened quietly to what Jiang Yishu said.

She was also thinking about what Jiang Yishu had said. The food in No. 1 Grain Shop was indeed less, and there were only a few of the same kinds of food.

Although some people would bring the vegetables they grew themselves to sell in stores on weekdays, they were still not enough to satisfy most people’s needs.

Liu Yueru has also contacted many local departments recently, hoping to get those large vegetable farmers to supply some vegetables to her own grain shop.

It’s just that the prices are either ridiculously high or the quantities are too small.

Jiang Yishu was not in a hurry. He just quietly took the teacup and looked at Liu Yueru.

Seeing her beautiful eyebrows frowned and relaxed, as if she was thinking about something, it was very interesting.

After a long while, Liu Yueru came back to her senses, looked at Jiang Yishu, and said seriously, "We can consider cooperation, but I want to see the grain first, and the price that Mr. Jiang is going to sell it for."

Jiang Yishu raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of joy on his face. He did not expect that Liu Yuru would not agree directly. He readily agreed to her request and at the same time looked at her with a new respect.

Before Jiang Yishu could say anything, Liu Yueru's voice sounded again; "Also, if everything is reasonable and we can cooperate successfully, my people will need to come forward to check the grain every time it enters the warehouse."

"These are all as they should be. There's no problem." Jiang Yishu looked at Liu Yueru with a warm smile and then continued to ask; "Anything else?"

When Liu Yueru raised her eyes, she saw Xie Jingrui opposite her staring at her without blinking, and her face instantly turned red.

Then, he said to Jiang Yishu, "Also, even if I agree with this matter, I still need the consent of another owner. If he agrees, there will be no big problem."

Jiang Yishu naturally knew who the boss Liu Yueru was talking about. Seeing that Liu Yueru valued him so much, he couldn't help feeling a little empty in his heart.

However, when he thought that he would soon become the largest supplier of Liu Yueru's grain shop, his mood improved a little.
