Chapter 37: Shen He

The man is about early twenties, wearing a scholar’s clothes, holding a folding fan depicting peony flowers, looking at the anxious Fu An, said carelessly: “I say Fu Xiao Pang (Little Fat Fu), that thing is so expensive, and today is the first day of selling, certainly not like you say that popular,when we go over, they must still have it.”

Fu An’s footsteps paused for a moment as he felt anxious, some doubtful as he looked at him, not quite believing as he asked: “Are you sure?”

The man laughed, nodded his head as he used the folding fan, laughed and said: “If my guess is not wrong, I’m afraid that when we go over, that food did not sell much, after all, not everyone is like you so easily being deceived.”

Formerly feeling so much at ease for some points, Fu An, after hearing him say that immediately exploded, looking at him argued with him stubbornly as he said: “I was not deceived!”

The man hooked the corner of his lips, his slightly loose face showed a few helpless smiles, good tempered as he said “Good that you have not been deceived.”

Fu An looked at his eyes which showed the sign, ‘I know you’ve been deceived, but you believe so much,therefore I can only obey you’. He suddenly got angry again. Only this time he didn’t argue with him any more, just looked at him and said, “You won’t say that when you already eat it later.”

The arc of the man’s mouth became larger, with an ‘I’ll wait’ expression.

Fu An looked even more angry, his walking speed was also faster and faster by a few points, not a moment’s effort before they already arrived at Chen Xing’s stall.

The man looked at the front simple although crude arranged stalls, and suddenly came to a few points of interest. Wait until he sees the stall with a beautiful little Ger who is so busy, his eyes are even brighter. Even in this kind of humble place, she still looked outstanding, and even became more and more excellent because there was no extra decoration on his body.

The man looked at that little Ger for a few moments, and then wanted to ask Fu An who was beside him about his situation, only to see that the person who was still in a hurry just now, had already changed his face to a happy look and hurriedly walked to that little Ger.

The man raised an eyebrow, greeted the fellow classmates around him, and followed them forward, so as soon as he reached Fu An’s side, before he had time to say anything, he heard him yell towards the beautiful little Ger, “Little boss, is there any more of that dessert you were talking about?”

“Naturally, there is still more.”

Ger’s voice was like a cool spring, but in the man’s ears, it wasn’t so pleasing to the ear, and even the eyes that were originally admiring him changed its appearance, bringing a few scrutinizing gazes to look straight at him.

Chen Xing and Fu An did not notice his change, especially Fu An could not help but let out a long sigh of relief when he learnt that the thing he had been longing for could finally be eaten, and then joyfully took out his money bag and took out enough silver taels from it to hand over to Chen Xing as he joyfully said, “You give me five servings first.”

Chen Xing’s heart, which had been heavy all morning, completely relaxed when he saw Fu An bring over a few young men dressed like scholars. At this time, seeing Fu An handing over the silver, his face couldn’t help but bring on a few smiles, “Good nah.”

Chen Xing’s hand just stretched out, ready to receive the silver handed over by Fu An, when suddenly a fine folding fan stretched out from the side, directly blocking between the two of them.

Chen Xing and Fu An were both a little surprised, and both looked over towards the owner of that folding fan, with a few moments not knowing why on their faces.

Chen Xing looked at the handsome and attractive pale-faced scholar and saw him staring at him with scrutinizing eyes, the doubts in his eyes grew thicker and thicker. He did not understand that he did not even know this person before, so why did this person look at him with such kind of eyes.

“Shen Xiong, what are you actually going to do?”

Fu An looked at the folding fan that was blocking his hand and scratched his head with his free hand, seeming to be very confused as to what he was trying to do.

Shen He, however, hooked the corner of his lips, his eyes looked straight at Chen Xing, and asked with a few hints of uncertainty, “Are you the owner of this stall?”

Chen Xing did not know what he wanted to do, but still nodded honestly.

The smile at the corner of Shen He’s lips grew bigger and bigger as he heard this, only now there were a few more hints of mockery. Before meeting Chen Xing, he thought that Fu An was just tricked by the fancy words of the stall owner here, but after meeting Chen Xing, he felt that this simple best friend of his was more than likely tricked by this face of his, and didn’t even know what kind of taste that food was.

Thinking to this point, the contempt in Shen He’s tone increased a few more points, ”I wonder what this dessert is made of by this little boss, that it is worth so much money. As far as I know, the most expensive pastry in this Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is only seventy wen a piece, and not only does it have a lot of honey put in it, but also other precious ingredients, can’t it be possible that what’s in this dessert of yours is almost the same as what’s in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion?”

Hearing the man’s words, Chen Xing instantly understood that he was here to pick a fight, thinking that he was selling this thing too expensive. Although he was good-tempered, he could not allow him to be denigrated like this, and his originally mild tone went a few points colder,

“Although the things I have here are not as good as the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, I can guarantee that they are definitely good value for money. Gongzi, if you have the money, you can buy it to taste the value. If you don’t have money, you don’t have to say such irrelevant sarcastic words.”

Shen He had originally thought that the little boss like this who made a living by fraud and ‘reality does not live up to his name’ would either have behave oneself or pull one’s head in or keep a low profile or having a guilty conscience and not dare to talk back after hearing his words, but he never expected that he would retaliate him back so cleverly. After the initial dumbfounded, as if he was disliking back towards him and the anger on his face showed clearly in his words and manner.

Just as Shen He wanted to continue his attack, Fu An, who was the invite this time, spoke up, using his empty hand pry apart the folding fan that Shen He had blocked in his hand, handing the money in his hand to Chen Xing and said towards the two of them:

“Brother Shen (Shen Xiong), it was agreed that I would treat you, so don’t make a scene, just think of it as giving me a face.”

“Little boss, much offended. Don’t mind it. Quickly get us food!”

Chen Xing looked at Fu An who was full of expectation, then looked at the man next to him who glared at him yet he stopped talking, hesitated for a moment but still took the money that Fu An handed over. He felt that Fu An was a good person, there was no need to lose a quality customer just because of a little questioning from his friend.
