Maybe it was because I was bored, or maybe it was because the person in front of me did arouse his interest.

I looked up at the sky and it was almost noon.

"There is a restaurant over there, let me tell you."

Shi Yiwen raised his legs and walked towards the restaurant not far away.

Nearly noon, the business in the restaurant was bustling. Most of the guests were scholars wearing maternity shirts. They went straight to the second floor. Shi Yiwen picked a clean seat near the window and sat down, and the middle-aged scholar sat opposite him.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the bartender came over with a smile on his face, politely asking:

"Customer, what do you want?"

Without waiting for an answer, I continued.

"There are freshly braised chicks in the small building, and fresh fish that have just been sent from the riverside..."

The bartender was happy to speak, but Shi Yiwen waved his hand casually and said.

"Pick up two specialties and come up with it."

"Okay, one serving of braised chicken and braised fish."

As soon as he saw this young master, the bartender knew that this was the one who didn't care about money. Of course, it was definitely not pleasant to disturb him. Then he said, "Customer, this meat dish is ready. I will arrange two more vegetarian dishes for you. What do you think?"

Nodding slightly, Shi Yiwen ordered the bartender.

"Just pick the fresh and tender ones and stir-fry them for two plates, and then make another pound of wine."

Xiao Lian, who had been standing behind the young master, listened to the young master's orders and ordered the bartender.

"I'll have a pot of hot water. The cup is going to be cleaned. We have tea leaves ourselves."

"Okay!"

The bartender agreed loudly and walked downstairs excitedly.

After a moment, the teapot and tea cup were picked up by the bartender. Xiao Lian took out the tea box quickly and poured the tea leaves into the cup. Although he was a little reluctant, he eventually poured a cup of tea for the liar. This man dared to deceive the young master, and he deserved to die.

After taking a sip of tea, although it is impossible to tell whether the tea is good or bad, the tea leaves that are equivalent to silver are indeed refreshing to the heart.

Wu Cai took a sip of tea and immediately shouted.

"Good tea!"

Then he put down his teacup and looked at the young master in front of him, and he felt difficult to calm down for a moment.

This is an opportunity!

For Wu Cai, who is already forty-five years old, there is no hope for the imperial examination. Otherwise, he would not have been able to scammers on the streets when there was not enough money. For him, instead of expecting to be on the list, it would be better to take the opportunity to deceive a few people.

But now, the young man in front of him gave him an opportunity.

Putting down the teacup, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Tell me, what are your good ideas?"

"Well,"

After being asked by Shi Yiwen, Wu Cai quickly answered.

"I am in Wucai, a native of Yingzhou County, Fengyang Prefecture, Nanzhili."

"oh,"

Shi Yiwen looked at him. I'm afraid only God knows whether the name is true or not.

"I was really sorry for being paid to the young master's money before. At that time, I was forced to do anything..."

As Wu Cai wanted to explain, he saw that the smile on the face of the young man in front of him became increasingly faint, and even started to slap Ah Yai. Obviously, the young man in front of him didn't care about his explanation at all. Indeed, what's the point of some things even if they were explained?

Taking a deep breath, Wu Cai asked back.

"Young Master, do you know, what is the most fashionable thing in Nanjing now?"

Holding a teacup in his hand, Shi Yiwen didn't say anything, but just looked at Wu Cai with a smile. On boring days, I could see how this person played, so I could pass some time.

“It’s soap.”

Soap?

Shi Yiwen's fingers moved slightly, and he thought to himself.

Could this guy want to use soap to his own socket?

"Young Master probably should know that this soap is a new and popular thing. Only the Tuanjie Factory can be made in the Ming Dynasty. This is a unique business. Apart from the Tuanjie Soap Factory, there is no more semicolon..."

"really."

Shi Yiwen nodded.

"I wonder, what do you think?"

"Idea, hey, young master, I really have some ideas. I wonder if you know how this soap was made?"

Wu Cai looked at Shi Yiwen and asked back.

"Do you know?"

Although the young master had not responded yet, Xiao Lian, who was standing beside him, almost laughed out loud. Don’t this person know that the soap was invented by the young master?

Now Xiao Lian finally realized that the young master was having nothing to do and was having fun here.

The other party's surprise made Wu Cai proudly say.

"Know!"

Then he shook his head,

"But I can't say I know!"

"Oh? Why is this?"

Looking at Wu Cai curiously, Shi Yiwen was curious about what he wanted to do next.

"That's right, my son, I'll know a few workers in the Tuanjie Soap Factory. Although I don't know the recipe of soap, I can understand something from what they say. The soap is not complicated to make. The raw materials are just lard, butter, soybean oil and other oils, and then other things are added..."

Wu Cai, who was talking freely, was not cheating Shi Yiwen. He did know several workers in the factory and also learned about some soap production process.

"Young Master doesn't know that although the soap recipe seems mysterious, it seems that there are actually loopholes. After all, there are too many people involved. As long as the young master is willing to take out a hundred taels of silver, I will ensure that I can help you find the soap recipe. At that time, the young master will pay for a factory..."

Before Wu Cai could finish his words, Xiao Lian, who had been standing next to the young master, couldn't help laughing.

"You, you... are really interesting."

The little maid's laughter surprised Wu Cai. Before he could react, he heard Xiao Lian say.

"You don't even ask if anyone from the soap factory is actually trying to persuade the main owner to steal his own things."

What!

Looking at the young master in front of him, Wu Cai said in surprise.

"That is Tuanjie Soap Factory yours?"

After taking a sip of tea, Shi Yiwen nodded without saying a word.

"Oh, then I'm looking for the main owner. I don't know anything about your factory. There are too many loopholes. But just as soon as I inquire, I'll develop if others are willing, as long as I think about it, I can steal the secret recipe of soap."

Although he was talking about stealing the main person's things in front of the main person just now, Wu Cai didn't feel embarrassed at all. He even beat the snake and spit it out. He changed the subject and reminded Shi Yiwen earnestly and to remind him to keep it confidential.

"As a result, I want to thank you?"

He had seen a thick-skinned person, but Shi Yiwen had never seen such a shameless person. He smiled without being angry and said curiously.

"At this point, why are you still sitting here and not leaving?"

"Walk?"

Wu Cai said in surprise.

"Why do you want to leave? Isn't this? The food hasn't come yet? I'm not afraid of the young master's jokes. I haven't tasted meat for several days. Besides..."

Looking at the young master in front of him, Wu Cai smiled.
