The saintess is pregnant, what does that have to do with me, a spoiled brat?

"Twenty taels of silver a bowl? Have you laced this water with gold or some kind of magic pill? You're obsessed with money!"

A middle-aged man in a silk robe pointed at the wooden sign in front of the stall, grumbled, and stormed off.

This is the fifth person to leave after hurling insults.

Wang Fugui huddled behind the stall, his chubby face scrunched up.

He tugged at Xu Nuo's sleeve and lowered his voice.

"Brother Xu, look, twenty taels is still too expensive. It's been so long and not a single person has asked about it. They're all just cursing."

Xu Nuo sat imposingly in a grand chair, fanning himself with a folding fan.

"What's the rush?"

"Good things come to those who wait, and the capital city has no shortage of fools with plenty of money."

The voice just fell.

A delicate, perfumed scent wafted over.

Xu Nuo raised her head.

A group of people stopped in front of the stall.

The woman in the lead was wearing a white veil.

Although her face was not visible, her figure was extremely alluring, with a flowing light blue dress that accentuated her slender waist.

A pretty young maidservant followed beside him, and four guards with swords hanging from their waists stood behind him.

They clearly don't come from ordinary families.

The woman's gaze fell on the several icy glass cups on the stall, then she looked at the wooden sign next to them that read "Twenty taels a bowl".

A crisp and pleasant sound rang out.

"Huh? Twenty taels for a bowl? What kind of good stuff is this that's so expensive?"

Xu Nuo closed his folding fan and stood up with a smile.

"This is called milk tea, young lady."

"milk tea?"

"Milk tea?" The woman tilted her head, her almond-shaped eyes full of curiosity.

"I've had tea, and I've had milk, but what exactly is milk tea?"

Before Xu Nuo could explain, the woman had already taken two steps closer, sniffed the air, and her eyes lit up.

"It smells so good! It's cool and refreshing, and it even has a sweet taste!"

She looked up at Xu Nuo, her eyes filled with the words "I want to drink".

Seeing the curiosity in the woman's eyes, Xu Nuo immediately had an idea.

Isn't this a ready-made living advertisement?

"Would you like some, young lady?" Xu Nuo asked deliberately, taking her time. "Twenty taels a bowl."

The woman was about to speak.

The pretty maidservant next to her jumped out first and pointed at Xu Nuo's nose, scolding him.

"Miss...don't listen to his nonsense!"

"What kind of worthless water dares to sell for twenty taels of silver? I think he's just a swindler! Does he really think we're easy targets?"

The woman nodded, deeply agreeing: "That makes sense. Do you really think I'm stupid?"

She's not short of money, but she's not stupid either.

Paying twenty taels of silver for a bowl of unknown sweet water is indeed a bit outrageous.

"Hey, hey, you can't say that."

Upon seeing this, Xu Nuo immediately put on a smiling face and strode forward.

He habitually reached out, as if to grab the woman's wrist.

His hand hadn't even touched his sleeve yet.

"Clang!"

The gleaming steel blade of the guard beside the woman was instantly drawn.

Xu Nuo froze, reluctantly withdrew his hand, and gave a dry laugh.

"Don't get agitated, don't get agitated, harmony brings wealth."

"Well then, meeting is fate."

"Miss, do me a small favor. This bowl of milk tea is on me, it's free, how about it?"

"Really, it's free?"

The woman stared at Xu Nuo with suspicion.

Xu Nuo unfolded his folding fan and pointed around.

"Young lady, look at all these people around here, how could I dare to renege on my debt in the street?"

After all, this woman's entourage was too grand, attracting many onlookers to point and whisper among themselves.

"Too."

She grabbed the glass cup that Xu Nuo handed her, lifted a corner of her veil, and took a big sip.

The next second, she froze.

The cool liquid slid down my throat, the aroma of milk and tea exploding on my tongue, sweet but not cloying, and refreshingly cool.

Her eyes widened suddenly, her whole body trembled, and her breasts jiggled.

"Wow!"

"It's so delicious! Icy cold! Sweet and smooth! What is this?! I've never tasted anything so good before!"

The woman's shout instantly silenced the onlookers.

A murmur broke out in the crowd.

"Is this stuff really that good?"

"That's right, twenty taels isn't cheap, it's highway robbery!"

"Judging by that woman's status, she's probably a rich heiress. She's unlikely to be a plant, is she?"

Xu Nuo leaned back in his armchair, fanning himself with a folding fan, a smile as sly as a sixth brother playing on his lips.

"Is it good?" he said slowly. "Don't forget to do me a favor, and I'll treat you to more drinks when we're done, as much as you want."

"Okay, okay!" She nodded repeatedly, excitedly leaning forward. "What kind of help do you need? Tell me!"

Xu Nuo closed his folding fan and tapped his palm.

"Simple, just type GG for me."

The woman was stunned.

She tilted her head, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling.

Who is GG?

She frowned, took a half-step back warily, and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Why did you hit him? Let me tell you, I don't do anything illegal or disorderly!"

Xu Nuo coughed twice and waved his hand.

"It's not about hitting people, it's about using the girl's beauty to help me attract some business."

The woman immediately clapped her hands: "No problem!"

Then she turned around and shouted at the top of her lungs at the bustling crowd on the street:

"Hey! You all come and try this! It's super delicious! Iced! Sweet! It'll cool you down!"

As she shouted, she waved a glass cup at the crowd, her movements exaggerated as if she were waving a flag.

"Really! I'm not kidding! Twenty taels a bowl! Worth it! Absolutely worth it!"

Passersby turned their heads to look at her, and many stopped to watch the spectacle as she gesticulated wildly.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Nuo strode to the front of the stall and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Take a look!"

"Exclusive recipe, the perfect refreshing iced milk tea for summer!"

"Today's special: Free tasting! If you don't like it, you don't pay!"

His shout was so powerful that it instantly drew everyone's attention across the street.

Even the windows on the second floor of the opposite Zuixianglou were opened, and many dignitaries leaned out to watch the excitement.

In addition, a beautiful woman with a stunning figure and wearing a veil stood in front of the stall, attracting passersby to stop and quickly surround the stall.

Even this seemingly wealthy and noble girl praised it so highly, is this thing really that amazing?

The woman completely ignored the comments from those around her.

She turned to look at Xu Nuo, her eyes filled with longing.

"How much milk tea do you have left?"

"I want them all."

"You want them all?" Xu Nuo tapped his palm with his folding fan and shook his head with a smile.

"That won't do. Our shop's rule is one bowl per person. You can only drink it here, but you can't take it away."

The woman was stunned.

She has never been refused when she buys things.

"You stingy person."

Xu Nuo ignored her astonishment and turned to shout at the crowd:

"Everyone saw it! Even this well-traveled young lady praised it highly!"

"Grand opening today! First ten customers get a free tasting! First come, first served!"

These words immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

"Let me try!" A bold, plump merchant squeezed forward and took the small cup that Xu Nuo handed him.

One bite.

The fat merchant's eyes widened suddenly, and his entire body of fat trembled:

"My goodness! So refreshing! The aroma of the tea... the milky flavor... it's amazing!"

"Give me a bite too!"

"Don't push! Don't push!"

All ten tasting slots were snapped up instantly.

Without exception, everyone who finished drinking it had an expression of blissful euphoria.

At this point, the people around couldn't sit still any longer.

"Shopkeeper! Give me a bowl! Twenty taels it is!" The fat merchant slapped out a silver ingot.

"I want a bowl too!"

"Don't try to steal it! I'll offer thirty taels! Give it to me first!"

The capital city has no shortage of wealthy people.

On a sweltering day, being able to drink such a refreshing and cooling beverage is nothing compared to the heavenly drink that costs twenty taels!

Even on the second floor of the opposite Zuixianlou restaurant, high-ranking officials and nobles, having heard the news, sent their servants to queue up.

"My husband wants five bowls!"

"Get out of here! Didn't you hear the limit of one bowl per person?"

The situation briefly spiraled out of control.
