Chapter 12: Third Young Master Zhenxiu Retoran

On the other hand, Manjer Liu had inspected the baang-gongs and was stunned by the quality of his abalone. He came up with a plan in his heart and said with the two brothers, "You've been bothering me, this manager is just for some of these abalone? Alright, since you guys seem to be in a difficult predicament, I will make an exception and take this abalone for eight hundred copper coins!"

Eight hundred copper coins? Yu Xiaocao and Yu Hang looked at each other, then he pursed his lips and snatched the earthen jar from Manager Liu's hands, "Manager Liu, do you really think of us as beggars?"

"How's what?" Manager Liu looked like a cunning old bastard as he whirled his beard and sneered, "With the quality of this abalone, my bid for eight hundred copper coins is enough. If you can sell it for six hundred copper coins elsewhere, then that means you are an enthralled seller!"

When Yu Xiaocao saw his stern expression, a sense of uncertainty arose in his heart! He did not know the market price of abalone! He could not help but turn his gaze towards Yu Hang.

Yu Hang was completely unaffected by Manager Liu. He gave his youngest sister a soothing smile and said, "Business is about mutual consensus. Since we are not satisfied with Manager Liu's offer, then we should ask for ourselves!"

Manager Liu awanya thought that these two children would be easily fooled. He had planned to persuade and scare them into selling abalone at the lowest possible price. But they were not deceived by his deception. They immediately turned around to leave without making any unnecessary comments. He felt somewhat anxious inwardly, so he hurriedly stopped them by saying.

"You must consider carefully! After you have missed this offer. You won't be able to find a better deal! Who would dare to accept an item that has been refused our Fulin Retoran?"

"Hhhh!" A laughter that gave off a childish feeling rang out, "Manager Liu, you speak in an imposing manner. When did your Fulin Restaurant become the ruler of this street?"

The manager suddenly lifted his head, narrowed his eyes and replied with a smirk, "I wonder who it is! So it turned out to be Third Young Master Zhenxiu Retoran! Whahuh? Is Zhenxiu Restaurant trying to interfere with our current Fulin Restaurant problem?"

"Disturb your business? This young master did not have much time left! I'll leave that to be worried about by your own master!" The third young master of Zhenxiu Restaurant, smiled faintly and said, "I can't stand to see people with honest business reasons taking advantage of others and forcing them to sell valuable seafood at a lower price."

"You-" Manager Liu noticed that the crowd was forming and knew that he should not continue arguing with her. Therefore he turned towards the two airs and said "You two go in first. I will be sure to offer you a reasonable price!"

"This may be a price that will only make you satisfied!" A faintly indifferent smile appeared on Third Young Master Zhou's handsome and somewhat gentle face, "Tanggu City is located near the sea. Therefore, most local people are familiar with determining the quality and market price of seafood. Little brother please show everyone the abalone you have? Let's see if our Fulin Restaurant which runs the business honestly and fairly, gives a 'fair' hrga'."

Most observers do not know what is going on. Yet after listening to Third Young Master Zhou's words, was there anyone who still did not understand? Retoran Fulin's manager intimidated these two brothers. He used his power to utilize them and force them to sell valuable marine items at low prices.

A large market opened today in Tanggu City, so there were many fishermen from nearby fishing villages walking down the street. The thing these fishermen hated the most was the dishonest and vile merchants demanding lower prices. Therefore they voluntarily became the examiners of these two siblings.

Although Yu Hang had a quiet temperament, but he had a clear understanding of the situation and had already made a decision in his mind. In the past, when he came to sell the game with his father, he heard about the competition between the new restaurant, Zhenxiu Restaurant and the brand; old Fulin Restaurant.

This Third Young Master Zhou seemed to be helping them, he might just take this opportunity to attack the Fulin Restaurant. This was a battle between two powerful competitors, So was it really necessary to harm an innocent person?

Yu Hang endured the wishes of his youngest sister and politely said, "Business is about mutual willingness between the two sides. It is only natural that the seller sets a price and the buyer bids. Although the deal did not work, we can still maintain a good relationship. We have nothing more to say because Manager Liu doesn't like our stuff. Forgive us!"

As he spoke, he bowed with both hands clasped and led Yu Xiaocao out of the crowd.

Zhenxiu Restaurant was a new restaurant that opened in less than a year, it was supported by the Zhou family, which was one of the four major merchants throughout the empire. The Zhou family's ancestral home happened to be in Tanggu city, so the Fulin Restaurant was not in a dominant position.

However, Fulin Restaurant is still an established restaurant. They have some famous signature dishes in their restaurant and a group of loyal customers.

But these past two months, the third young master of the Zhou family had returned to his old mansion. He mysteriously got some new dishes that really fit the taste of the county magistrate, and also attracted many customers of Fulin Restaurant.

His master was already dissatisfied with him because of the matter. If he also gained a reputation as a bully today, then he would probably be dismissed from his position as the manager of Fulin Restaurant.

Manager Liu remembered himself inwardly. Although he regretted not being able to obtain that precious abalone, he also did not dare to use any more devious schemes.

"Oldest Brother!Why don't we take this opportunity to teach that arrogant Manager Liu a lesson?" Yu Xiaocao still felt sad about the matter and angrily asked as he clenched his small hand.

Yu Hang looked at the swollen face of his youngest sister, who had a very lively expression. He could not resist pinching his little face and replied with a smile, "Retoran Fulin is supported by the scuffles of the government office. Ordinary citizens should not quarrel with government officials. If we really offend Manager Liu, then it will be difficult for us to stay in this city in the future."

Yu Xiaocao was stunned. As a modern citizen 'born under a red flag and raised in the spring breeze', this is the first time he has been taught that 'people are classified by wealth and brand status.' Thus various feelings surged e in his heart.

Yu Hang noticed that his youngest sister had stopped walking and had a confused expression on her face. She thought her youngest brother was scared, so she hurriedly comforted him.

"Youngest sister, don't be afraid. As long as we do the right thing, then those kayaks and government officials will not be able to harm us. Father said that our kaiar is a good ruler, who is intelligent and has fair judgment. The officials under his rule as a vear are still fair and honest. A good example is the district magistrate of Tanggu city. He was famous as an honest judge!"

Yu Xiaocao gathered his composure. In novels and television there are many wealthy people and officials who underestimate the common citizens in ancient times. Therefore inwardly he reminded himself to remain humble in the future.

"Oldest brother is our emperor really that strong? He can make all those high-ranking officials comply with his decision?" Yu Xiaocao had just moved here, so he still did not know what dynasty he was in.

"Shhh..." Yu Hang almost reached out to cover his mouth. What does he mean by 'obeying his decision'? Fortunately they were in the town of Tanggu, a small coastal town. If they were in the capital, which was full of fourth-level officials walking the streets, they would be punished for disrespect.

"Relig-"

Just when Yu Hang was feeling pleased in his heart because no one heard the brand conversation, he heard the typical laughter of a young man.

When the two siblings turned their heads, they saw the young master in the delicate clothes they had met before. He was currently pulling his horse and walking behind them.

Hu Yang's face instantly turned pale. He did not know if this noble young master had heard the impolite words from his youngest sister. He gritted his teeth, walked towards her and said, "Thank you so much for talking to us before..."
