After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 154 Missing Out on a Large Fortune
Zhu Yixuan immediately instructed, "Here's what you'd like, go and ask around for me again. If you can find any, buy as many as you can. The price is negotiable."

Before eating it, he didn't think it was expensive, but after eating it, he didn't think so anymore.

If you can get a few baskets, they'll be perfect for visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.

After saying that, he put his chopsticks on the brown sugar and tomato salad. As soon as he put it in his mouth, a cool, sour and sweet taste assaulted his taste buds, and his mouth watered rapidly, which surprised him greatly.

"This is a delicious and refreshing dish that helps cut through the richness of the food."

Ke Yunyun saw the beautiful color of the tomato, took a bite, and her eyes lit up. "Delicious!"

Seeing that she liked it, Zhu Yixuan immediately took out one hundred taels and gave it to Su Chuan, saying, "I want this too, the more the better!"

"And fish, this kind of fish doesn't seem to be from our Zhaohua County. It makes a very delicious soup with no fishy smell. If you can find it, buy more, the more the better." Zhu Yixuan took another sip of fish soup, looking quite satisfied.

Su Chuan quickly agreed.

Zhu Yixuan hadn't left yet when he went out again.

Because he wasn't carrying anything and was traveling by horse-drawn carriage, it was just getting dark when he arrived at Shenjiazhuang.

When Shen Yi and his wife saw Su Chuan return, they were completely baffled.

"Why are you back so soon?" Shen Yi said, as he stopped Su Chuan's carriage and put the horses in the stable to feed them.

Su Chuan gave a weary, bitter smile. "Don't even mention it. I had already returned to the county town and finished my business when Young Master Zhu happened to come over. After eating a meal my mother cooked, he insisted that I come back and buy a few more baskets of corn and tomatoes, and that fish soup."

He tried his best to describe the species of the fish.

Shen Yi listened silently, then led him to the water vat in the kitchen. "Which one?"

Su Chuan: "."

After Su Chuan confirmed, Shen Yi said to Su Tai, "Wife, Young Master Zhu wants crucian carp."

Su Tai nodded, her face expressionless. "How much do you want?"

Su Chuan hurriedly pulled out a hundred taels of silver. "Young Master Zhu said the more the better. Dear cousin, could you give me some?"

Su Tai accepted the money without ceremony and said, "Cousin, you've worked so hard, I definitely have to sell it to you. But you really can't carry it all back by yourself. Tomorrow, I'll have Shen Yi go to town and hire two carriages for you to travel together."

"Alright, alright! These are no big deal." Su Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.

After he returned to his room to rest, Su Tai handed her daughter over to Shen Yi to take care of, and then ran to the water to set up a fishing net.

Now she can set seven or eight fishing nets a day, and she also has special baskets for catching crabs and crayfish. Her harvest is always plentiful, and she has no pressure to take on any orders.

After leaving the Water Dimension, she went to the Wood Dimension vegetable shop and ordered four large baskets of sweet corn and four large baskets of tomatoes from the owner.

The next day, Su Chuan woke up to find that Shen Yi had already prepared what he wanted.

He wondered how the couple had managed to prepare so much food. Looking back at Shen Dagou and Shen Xiang, who were busy in the kitchen, he swallowed his words.

My cousin and her husband are clearly not ordinary villagers. If they can hire people to help at home, they must have plenty of people helping them from outside. Asking too many questions is pointless.

Su Tai appreciated his tact and pointed to the contents of the carriage, saying, "Young Master Zhu is very generous, so I couldn't let this hundred taels of silver go to waste. I packed as much as I could, but the amount of corn and tomatoes was limited, and I couldn't spare any more, so I had to make do with some fish. These large wooden basins are full of crucian carp, and this basin contains some larger carp and grass carp, which I estimate to weigh over eight pounds each. They would be excellent as gifts or to keep for a New Year's feast."

Su Chuan was surprised to find so many big fish, and immediately thanked Su Tai and Shen Yi before driving away in his carriage with his men.

Such a large entourage entering the city is bound to attract attention.

Not wanting to cause trouble for Ke Yunyun, Su Chuan secretly went into the city ahead of time, unloaded some corn, tomatoes, and crucian carp, and then went out to meet the others before taking them to the Zhu residence.

Upon receiving the news, Zhu Yixuan went out to check on the items himself. Overjoyed at what he found, he praised Su Chuan profusely.

Just then, Bai Feng arrived and saw this scene. His face immediately fell. Because the things on the carriage were all covered up, he couldn't see them clearly. So he said to Zhu Yixuan in a sarcastic tone, "It seems that my brother-in-law really has no one left. He dares to give important positions to even Tom, Dick, and Harry. Isn't he afraid of ruining his own important plans?"

Su Chuan suppressed his smile and didn't even glance at Bai Feng. He simply bowed respectfully to Zhu Yixuan and said, "Young Master, let me help them move their things inside."

Zhu Yixuan nodded in a very good mood, "Go ahead and get busy. You've worked so hard for so long, go back and get some rest."

Seeing that neither of them had listened to him, Bai Feng was furious and fiercely reprimanded Su Chuan: "What an ungrateful wretch! A traitorous servant will not have a good end!"

Su Chuan had no intention of arguing with Bai Feng, but upon hearing this, he was also angered. He looked at Zhu Yixuan and said loudly, "Young master, I have done nothing wrong and have never done anything wrong. I cannot bear the blame of others. Please investigate, young master."

Zhu Yixuan glanced at Bai Feng and then at Su Chuan, then joked, "Alright, I know, you can go now."

Su Chuan finally felt relieved and led his men to unload the goods, not giving Bai Feng a second glance the entire time.

Bai Feng was furious and looked at Zhu Yixuan with dissatisfaction. "Brother-in-law, if you really have no one around you, I can send you a few more. It's better to get rid of those useless eyesores as soon as possible."

Zhu Yixuan chuckled, his expression calm. "Brother-in-law is right. I don't keep useless people around me. Anyone who stays by my side must be of great use to me!"

Bai Feng didn't understand.

Zhu Yixuan said, "Su Chuan has brought me a lot of good stuff. I'll have the cook make some dishes for you to try."

Bai Feng was unimpressed by the good stuff Zhu Yixuan was talking about.

Su Chuan has been with him for so many years, what abilities does he not know? How could someone like him get good stuff? He doesn't know what method he used to make Zhu Yixuan so smitten, his brother-in-law is really getting worse as he gets older.

Seeing Bai Feng's disdainful expression, as if waiting to see him make a fool of himself, Zhu Yixuan shook his head and said nothing.

The servants will bring up the prepared dishes later.

Zhu Yixuan gestured for him to try, "Give it a try."

"Let's give it a try." Bai Feng picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

His face changed as soon as he put the food in his mouth, and he became extremely agitated. "Impossible! These things definitely weren't obtained by Su Chuan. He doesn't have that kind of ability!"

Bai Feng was very certain.

Zhu Yixuan shrugged. "But that's the truth. He can not only get me winter vegetables and seafood, but also solve many problems for me. What do you think would happen if I took these things as New Year's gifts?"

What else can be done? Everyone has plenty of money, what they lack are connections and channels. If Zhu Yixuan uses these things to do favors, it will definitely be talked about, and the Zhu family's influence in Zhaohua County will reach a new level.
