Chapter 247: Prawns Eaten with Vinegar
“What are the materials this time?” Yuan Zhou asked concisely.
“Still the flour and white sugar. Sorry to bother you, Compass.” Man Man was an adorable girl. With a smile, she appeared more lovable.
“Have you changed your supplier?” Yuan Zhou frowned and asked.
“Yeah. Last time you said there were some problems with the flour, which surprisingly turned out to be moldy and bleached. Of course, I wouldn’t dare to use it anymore.” Man Man stuck out her tongue, still having a lingering fear.
Last time, before Yuan Zhou went out for the honey, Man Man specially sent a new product, the cocktail cake, to him based on their good relationships. When Yuan Zhou just opened the bag and gave a sniff, however, he told her directly, “Why did you send me a cake made from moldy flour?”
In the end, Man Man explained for half an hour before she let Yuan Zhou understand it was the problem of the ingredients. Of course, Man Man returned the goods back to the supplier with her experienced business skills. She came to find Yuan Zhou this time also because his five senses were extraordinary.
Yuan Zhou, of course, agreed. Such a trifle was nevertheless acceptable to him with the precondition that he wasn’t bothered while busy.
Nevertheless, the current flour supplier wasn’t honest, either. As soon as Yuan Zhou smelled the flour carefully and twisted it with his fingers when he approached it, he knew it was mixed with the flour that had been kept for years. If it were from the crops of last year, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t really care. But obviously, it had been kept for years.
“It’s mixed with inferior flour. You have to handle it by yourself,” Yuan Zhou walked back to Man Man and said calmly.
“Sh*t, these traffickers. Again, they lie to me that the flour is from newly harvested wheat.” Man Man rolled up her sleeves and prepared to pick a fight.
“Calm down.” Yuan Zhou took hold of her collar and tried to stop her.
“You’d better let go of me. Otherwise, I will reveal your secret.” Man Man wasn’t grateful. Instead, she even threatened Yuan Zhou.
“Ok. Whatever you want.” Yuan Zhou let go of her and made a gesture of “As you please.”
After that, he really neglected her and then he turned around and left conveniently.
It was no more than a matter of return and exchange of the flour, in which Yuan Zhou found it inappropriate for him to participate.
“It’s 10:10. A good time to visit Broth.” Yuan Zhou checked the time and headed for Broth’s home.
Broth had always been living beside the scrap heap. There was a used basket and a few used clothes. The home looked pretty good.
Furthermore, the dog made itself very clean and thus had won great favors from young girls, who would surely feed it when they were happy. Therefore, the dog didn’t have to worry about the food and clothing.
However, it was slightly different this time. When Yuan Zhou got there, Broth was lying at a place far from the scrap heap and close to the cross road.
“Wow, why are you here?” Yuan Zhou went up and greeted it.
As usual, Broth just turn a blind eye to him, totally different from its adorable manner in front of cute girls.
Yuan Zhou went closer to its kennel and found there was another trash bin blocking Broth’s home.
“Miserable little thing, even your home is forcibly occupied,” looking at the dog Broth, Yuan Zhou said with a tone of disdain
This time, unexpectedly, Broth responded to him with a sound of “Wu Wu”. However, Yuan Zhou didn’t understand dog’s language and hence didn’t know what it was whining about.
“Forget it. You can live at the back door from now on.” The back door of the neighboring pub was always closed and the porch was very large, therefore there should be no problem to accommodate the dog.
Having thought for a while, Yuan Zhou went up to take Broth’s kennel and then walked to his back door. The dog Broth likewise followed him leisurely as if it were an imperial envoy on an inspection tour with a manner of swagger.
In a little while, they arrived at the back door of the pub. When the former tea house was decorated, it was designed with the style of ancient eaves, thus set aside a lot of space. Since Broth was merely a small dog, the space was sufficient for it.
