Chapter 24: Covering others’ eyes
Soon, Qiao Suluo, Que Hongjin, and Bai Qianluo arrived in the county town.

When they arrived at the main street, they saw that people were already waiting at the spot where they had set up their stalls the day before.

"Little female beast, you've finally arrived! You're later than yesterday. I had already bought the konjac snacks by this time yesterday."

"You've finally arrived, young lady. Your konjac dessert is so delicious. I bought some for my wife yesterday, and she ate an extra bowl of rice with it. She kept urging me to buy more, but there was no one there when I came yesterday. That's why I came early this morning."

"Young lady, your konjac snacks are really delicious. I'm going to buy more this time."

"This spiciness and texture are really delicious. I bought a little bit yesterday and ate it in no time. I wanted more after eating one..."

"I'm going to buy more this time, I'll buy six bowls."

"I have a large family, so I'm going to buy ten bowls this time."

Everyone chattered away, praising the konjac dessert.

Qiao Suluo was very happy to hear that everyone liked the konjac dessert she made.

Most of the beastmen in the Beast World Continent are quite straightforward and don't beat around the bush when they speak.

Qiao Suluo really liked this kind of straightforward praise.

Qiao Suluo explained with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone. We made extra konjac noodles today."

The people in line were originally going to buy konjac snacks, but they were suddenly struck by a unique and strong fragrance that made them feel very comfortable.

"What smells so strong?"

"Little girl, did you bring any other food?"

"It smells so good, I wonder what it is?"

Que Hongjin put down the tofu cart she was pushing, on which were wooden boxes filled with tofu.

This is a stroller they borrowed from their neighbor.

Qiao Suluo stepped forward, lifted the cloth, and explained to everyone, "This is tofu, with a soft, tender, and mellow taste."

"Go back and cook it. It's delicious whether you stew it with cabbage, fish, or meat, or eat it directly as is."

Someone tentatively asked, "May I try some?"

Yesterday, I let them try the konjac dessert. They should be able to try this tofu too, right?
Qiao Sulu readily cut a few small pieces with a knife for everyone to try.

Everyone who tried it was amazed by the flavor, praising it highly. "It's delicious! Although it's not spicy and doesn't have much flavor, it's just so fragrant. This flavor is amazing! How much does this tofu cost?"

Qiao Suluo said, "This piece of tofu costs five coins."

Tofu is a rare commodity now, and it's not available on the market, so she priced it at ten coins per pound.

When she arrived, she had already cut the tofu into pieces, each piece weighing about half a pound, so it cost five coins.

If you haven't bought a scale yet, do it like this for now.

This price should be acceptable to everyone.

"Okay, then give me two pieces of tofu and five bowls of konjac soup."

"Little girl, I'd like to buy a piece of tofu and two bowls of konjac noodles..."

Everyone said how much they wanted to buy. These were all regular customers who were willing to spend money on konjac snacks yesterday. They were also well-off, so they were quick to buy things.

"Don't rush, everyone take turns."

Qiao Suluo collected the money, while Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo were responsible for helping with the home renovation.

Business is booming as always, especially the tofu, which everyone is willing to buy after trying it.

However, some people wanted to buy the dolls, but all the dolls had to be sent to Jinxiu Cloth Shop.

After selling the items, they took the dolls to the fabric shop, where Feng Wanqin waited for them and settled their wages on the spot.

For four consecutive days, Qiao Suluo brought Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo to the county to set up a stall selling konjac snacks and tofu, and also gave away plush toys.

"After I finish selling everything today, I'll go buy some glutinous rice."

These past few days, she hasn't been able to afford anything except some soybeans.

You can use glutinous rice to make peach blossom wine and maltose.

Although she could earn about one or two taels of silver every day, she would have four taels of silver in four days. But Qiao Suluo felt that if the manager of Zuixianlou didn't value what she had, she would still have to save up silver every day to redeem Tushan Feishang first.

During these four days, she often heard people talking about Tu Shan Gongzi of Nanfeng Tower, and she was worried that he might suddenly turn evil just because of his stage performance.

Of course, she also had to take out one or two taels of silver for her mother and quickly return the one or two taels of silver from the Lü family so as to sever ties with such a family.

Just as Qiao Suluo and her group were packing up their stall, the manager of Zuixianlou came out.

"Young lady, please wait a moment."

The manager of Zuixianlou was a gaunt, middle-aged male orc. He was neatly dressed, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Qiao Suluo felt certain that it seemed she could start selling dishes.

Seeing Qiao Suluo and the others' calm expressions, the shopkeeper smiled kindly and said, "Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Manager Zhao from Zuixianlou. Young lady, I see that your products are quite good. I wonder if we could discuss a business deal?"

"Mainly, my Drunken Immortal Restaurant also wants to buy the food you make."

Actually, he had the waiter buy him some konjac noodles and tofu to taste, and they were indeed very good. He observed them for the past few days before making his decision.

Zuixianlou urgently needs fresh and high-quality dishes to attract old customers back and revitalize the restaurant.

Qiao Suluo smiled and said, "Okay."

Manager Zhao led them into the restaurant to discuss business.

……

When Qiao Suluo came out of Zuixianlou, she suddenly had thirty taels of silver in her hand.

This is the money I got from selling konjac dessert; I only got thirty taels after haggling.

Otherwise, the shopkeeper would have preferred to give only twenty taels of silver.

The price for buying out the secret recipe for konjac dessert in the thirtieth lifetime will prevent her from selling konjac dessert in the future.

But she can continue her tofu business afterwards.

Que Hongjin and Bai Qianlu still felt it was all unreal.

The secret recipe for konjac dessert was sold just like that, and the fact that such a thing brought in thirty taels of silver stirred up a storm in their hearts.

Most importantly, they witnessed Qiao Suluo eloquently and logically discussing business with Manager Zhao, completely taking the initiative and dominating the conversation.

Otherwise, the price wouldn't be lowered to thirty taels of silver.

"Alright, now we can go to Nanfeng Tower to redeem Tushan Feishang."

……

Private Room No. 1 on the second floor of Nanfeng Tower
A servant knocked on the door and entered the room, where he saw his incomparably noble young master sitting at the table, wiping the sword in his hand.

The room was filled with a somber and oppressive atmosphere.

The servants didn't dare to move.

Tu Shan Feishang said calmly, "Speak, what is it?"

The servant then spoke up: "Reporting to you, young master, Miss Qiao has come with thirty taels of silver to redeem you."

"This... what should I do?"

Tu Shan Feishang paused in her movements, "Qiao Suluo?"

"Yes, young master, it is her!"

Tu Shan Feishang chuckled softly, her voice low and gentle, like a fragrant veil caressing the heart, but the tone was languid and cold, seemingly carrying a dangerous killing intent.

The servant couldn't help but shudder.

Miss Qiao initially intended to sell the young master to Nanfeng Tower to humiliate him, but she probably didn't know that Nanfeng Tower was a property under the young master's name. Ostensibly an entertainment venue, it was actually a place where the young master used to gather information.

The young master's performance on stage was also a cover-up.

Even though the young master's tail was broken, there were still people who wanted to harm him.

Unexpectedly, Miss Qiao wanted to redeem the young master again.
