Chapter 737: Chapter 737: The Noble Person Who ps His Own Face
Upon hearing this, Tong Sang hastily asked, “So you mean, while those people disdain the Dried Sweet Potatoes, others do not?”
“I haven’t heard anyints. Weren’t some Bean Sweet Potatoes and such purchased by Shopkeeper He from Miss Qiao a while back? He sent those items to some ces in the Capital City.”
“The Extreme Taste Residence in Capital City explicitly credited these goods to Miss Qiao, citing their scarcity as the reason for their high cost. They initiated a membership system where one must spend a certain amount of silver at Extreme Taste Residence to taste such delicacies.”
“In any case, it was the same as what the Extreme Taste Residence in Bailu Town did, profiting extravagantly from the crops of Miss Qiao.”
“Once this news got out, the business of Extreme Taste Residence boomed, robbing half of the Zuixian Building’s customers.”
At that time, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sang had also given some of these items to guard Xiaoyang, who was very satisfied. He bought a small Stone Mill of two chi, grinding soymilk for himself every morning, apanying it with a couple of Roasted Sweet Potatoes, along with a bowl of dried Xiaomi. His days were quite sumptuous.
He was displeased at heart that the goods he loved so much were belittled by a group of so-called nobles.
“You know how these foods taste. Plus, the skill of Extreme Taste Residence’s chef is exemry. The dishes they produce are delicious. These peoplepete to spend at Extreme Taste Residence, eager to obtain the privilege to taste these exquisite meals, no longer considering it beneath them.”
Tong Sang “…”
Well, alright.
Honestly speaking, Zhuang Lühe eloping with another man, even in Qiao Xiaomai’s modern society, was rather disgraceful.
Here, it was even more serious, a real stain.
Those who knew the circumstances might sympathize with Zhuang Lühe and not care about the matter.
But there were plenty who did not know the details. It was not unjustifiable for these people to disdain Qiao Xiaomai’s foodstuff because of this incident.
After all, everyone has different thresholds of tolerance.
Everyone sees things differently.
His earlier condemnation of the aristocrats was due to his anger.
But on calm reflection, their actions could not be deemed entirely wrong.
However, if while disdaining the Dried Sweet Potatoes, they rush to taste the Bean Sweet Potatoes and Xiaomi, their behavior was somewhat ridiculous.
If they truly disdain it, they shouldpletely reject it. In that case, he wouldn’t have anything to say.
But now, only disdaining Dried Sweet Potatoes isn’t this rather self-contradictory?
Isn’t this deliberately provocative?
Seeing Tong Sang speechless, guard Xiaoyangforted him, “Don’t worry, your family’s products won’t be affected.”
“As for the Dried Sweet Potatoes, it’s no big deal. Isn’t Shopkeeper He supplying the other Extreme Taste Residences? Eventually, we can sell all to him. If some people don’t want to eat them, so be it.”
“Besides, next year your family’s produce will be a special supply. If they don’t want to eat them, others will eagerly take their ce. Now that Daqi Country is prosperous and peaceful, there are plenty of rich people who can afford it.”
Upon hearing these words, a smile graced Tong Sang’s handsome face. “Many thanks, guard Xiaoyang for dispelling my doubts.”
“Oh, please don’t mention it, you’re too kind.” Guard Xiaoyang waived his hand. It was just a bit of gossip, nothing important.
If he really wanted to express his gratitude, he should send more Sweet Potatoes.
He had already finished the ones sentst time.
“I won’t disturb you any longer. After a few days, Xiaomai and I will deliver more Sweet Potatoes and Beans,” said Tong Sang.

“Oh, you’re really too polite,” guard Xiaoyangughed.
“Oh yes, congrattions on obtaining the degree of Juren, Master Tong! In the future, you’ll be a Juren Lord!”
