Chapter 1910: Chapter 1890:

In the afternoon, as Luo Yanhai pretended to go outside to watch the commotion, people began to ask about the identity of the old man who had come by at noon. Why was he swearing all the way and even spat in front of the Forget Worries Tea House?

This is completely inconsistent with the reputation that the Forget Worries Tea House has built up over the years!

Moreover, they were well aware that the Forget Worries Tea House, in order to avoid any troubles and to enjoy the spectacle, had already announced that it would temporarily suspend operations until the team was fully formed.

However, the shop would still serve VIP clients, though in this town, apart from its own people, there really weren’t any.

This isn’t the Southern Li Imperial City, where rich people are everywhere. Why would anyone have spare time to fuss about the membership card?

Furthermore, from now on, the membership card can only be applied for under the recommendation of an existing member.

"Sigh, don’t even mention it. We said our shop didn’t have any food, and that we are temporarily closed, but that gentleman wouldn’t believe it. He even nearly beat up my sister. He snatched away her favorite water bottle, with tea inside, and just left a broken flower behind. Who knows what that thing is?" Luo Yanhai exclaimed, full of grievance. Clearly not the type to lie about such matters, he easily earned the trust of the people around him.

"Are beggars nowadays so aggressive?" After all, they understood that every region had different levels of development, so they could sympathize even if someone was in a destitute state. However, it’s puzzling why someone would take away a teapot?

"Alas, that teapot contained tea that hadn’t even been offered for sale yet. We were thinking, if it tasted good, we’d share it with everyone later. After all, we’re neighbors, and everyone should try out new products together. But it turns out, the recipe is gone..."

Because usually, Forget Worries Tea House would provide free samples of anything new, particularly to nearby merchants, who trusted this practice completely.

Immediate lamentations arose.

Someone remarked, "I said earlier that such a shabby person walked by, and yet there was a fragrant smell!"

"This is simply outrageous! How can someone do something like this?"

"Nowadays, people will really do anything."

"They better not let me catch them, or they’ll get beaten every time I see them!"

Some comforted Luo Yanhai, "No worries, buddy. Try again. We don’t mind being test subjects a few more times, right? We all look forward to trying your stuff!"

"Exactly, we support you. Keep trying, and eventually, you’ll succeed."

Luo Yanhai, with a mournful face, sighed deeply, saying, "I guess that’s all I can do. Thanks for your help. I just worry my little sister might end up crying..." He portrayed the image of a concerned older brother, enveloped in melancholy.

Luo Qianqian, inexplicably, sneezed in the courtyard. She frowned, rubbed her nose, and grumbled, "Who’s talking about me again?"

Evidently, she hadn’t imagined that it could be Luo Yanhai, supposedly on a ’mission’, who was grumbling...

After chatting cheerfully with the group, Luo Yanhai entered the courtyard with an ’anxious’ silhouette, leaving the others sighing with emotion.

"He truly fulfills his duty as a brother!"

"Right, but importantly, we’ll have good food again."

Since they were neighbors and felt embarrassed to eat for free all the time, they would sometimes offer things from their own shops and also frequently visited them. It was considered good for business. Although they knew very well that Forget Worries Tea House didn’t need that help.

Because of the limited supply...

Additionally, the samples they frequently gave out were equivalent to the amount of fish they could sell daily, so even getting daily samples was a delight.

Though the prices were unstable, one thing was certain: they weren’t short of money here.

Otherwise, how could they possibly work just a tiny bit every day?

Furthermore, the shops in this area all had backing, most of which no one dared to provoke, so they were happy to coexist peacefully.

No one had the slightest idea that the so-called ’tea thief’ who just left was actually the backing behind Forget Worries Tea House they weren’t aware of.

The old man leisurely returned to the small courtyard, and before he finished tidying up, he saw Fu Qing standing idly by, his face clouding instantly. He instinctively protected his spatial storage device: "What are you here for?"

"I just sensed a fragrant scent over here and came by to check," Fu Qing said seriously, as if he really had no other purpose.

However, the old man frowned tightly. Who’d believe that?

He hadn’t taken anything out; where’d the fragrance come from? Did Fu Qing have a dog’s nose? How could he smell it?

"What’s the matter?" The old man asked rhetorically, knowing he wouldn’t admit to having anything tasty!

Otherwise, it’d be one box for this person, one box for that person, and how much would be left for himself?

Forget Worries Tea House wasn’t operating now, so there wasn’t anything for sale!

He had no idea that in the box, the treats Luo Qianqian loved were piled up in quantities, while those she didn’t like were nearly absent, except for the boxes reserved as gifts.

After all, these delicacies could practically serve as currency, right?

"Just a reminder for you to deal with your herb garden, or it’ll dry up," Fu Qing casually remarked, clearly not yet revealing the true intention.

"I’ll go tonight." The old man frowned, looking at Fu Qing.

"Yeah, about that pot..." Fu Qing nodded and intended to say more.

The old man, speechless, took out a box and tossed it to Fu Qing: "Okay, out with it if you’ve got something to say, let it out if you’ve got gas, if not, scram."

That said it all; hadn’t he heard everything already? What was there still to hide?

"Oh, the boss wants you," Fu Qing left delightedly with the box.

The old man: "..." He wanted to hit someone now.

Wasting a box of snacks over such trivial matters? Unacceptable! Unacceptable!! Unacceptable!!!

"Wait till you fall into my hands someday!!!" The old man yelled at Fu Qing’s departing figure!

Fu Qing, looking at the snacks in his hand, was visibly pleased.

The boss asked him to call the old man. Who’d have thought he’d stumble across the old man receiving a gift? So he decided not to show himself immediately and waited to watch, planning to extort later since witnesses get a share, right?

After all... the boss never suffered losses, so with or without his reminder, the boss had never been at a disadvantage either.𝒻𝑟ℯℯ
