“I didn’t help at all. You know this is my first time coming to this wine-house too.”

Liu Sisi cast him a glance and took in the layout of the wine-house.

This wine-house was originally located on a main street near the county government offices, and just around the corner, at a crossroad. There were six shops in a row, and in the middle of the courtyard was a stage. A young girl was singing a little tune on it, while an old man further away was strumming and singing. There were as many as four floors above, which was not like a regular wine-house.

Di Yelei’s eyes flashed: “Sisi, don’t you think your Brother Nan is quite capable? To set up such a luxurious wine-house and silver pavilion in less than a month is quite an incredible feat, isn’t it?”

Liu Sisi’s hand, which was pouring the tea, paused, and she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows: “What are you trying to say?”

“I mean to say, Nan Tianzong’s identity…”

Before Di Yelei could finish his sentence, a waiter approached with a tray: “Here is your meal – the two of you, please enjoy!”

“Thank you, waiter.”

After the waiter put down the food and left, Di Yelei brought the soy milk in front of her: “Don’t drink tea, soy milk is better.”

Liu Sisi obeyed and took a sip before looking up at him: “We have discussed the issue of his identity before. No matter what it is, I just treat him as my big brother, that’s all.”

Di Yelei nodded silently and sighed in agreement. The two ate breakfast in silence, and only when they were full did they call the waiter to pay the bill.

“Waiter, is your boss here?”

The waiter was clearly stunned by Liu Sisi’s question before bowing with respect: “You both know our boss? Ah! It’s such a pity, he left just yesterday to go home for the New Year.”

“We are acquaintances. If he isn’t here, it would be fine to ask Shopkeeper Qu instead.’

“Letting Shopkeeper Qu know is, of course, possible…” The waiter hesitated.

Liu Sisi smiled and took some copper coins from her pocket and handed them to the waiter: “Thank you for your trouble, waiter.”

“No problem, no problem. Wait a moment, the two of you.”

The waiter happily accepted the copper coins and left.

“Why didn’t you mention our identities earlier? Is it to see his attitude towards customers?” Di Yelei asked curiously.

“Not entirely. Actually, I wanted to see the quality of the food in the shop and how it tasted.”

Liu Sisi pointed at the breakfast on the table and then laughed: “But after trying it, I found that, as expected, this big shop serves delicious, fragrant food.”

Di Yelei couldn’t help but laugh: “Haha! Don’t you think, coming to this kind of place is going to be more expensive than eating outside.”

Soon after, Shopkeeper Qu hurried over and, upon seeing Liu Sisi, quickly bowed in greeting.

” Greetings to Boss Liu! I did not know Boss Liu was gracing us with her presence, please excuse my poor hospitality!”

This scared the waiter who immediately stepped aside, stealthily watching the conversation in the corner.

Liu Sisi stood up from her chair and helped Shopkeeper Qu up: “Shopkeeper Qu, please rise. I came today to see Brother Nan; is he in the shop?”

“Boss isn’t in the shop! Last night he went over to the Silver Pavilion after going through the account books. The Silver Pavilion has been overwhelmed with business as the end of the year approaches, so… the boss went to guard the Silver Pavilion.”
