The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1489 - 1573: Despicable Deeds

Chapter 1489: Chapter 1573: Despicable Deeds
Zhu De walked over with a hearty laugh, "Shopkeeper Yang, long time no see, I hope you’ve been well!"
This person had a loud voice, rough and brash, embodying a bold manner. Just by looking at this person, you’d think he was someone straightforward and honest, completely unlike the shameless scoundrel capable of despicable acts.
Shopkeeper Yang’s face darkened, but before she could speak, Zhu De spoke first, "Shopkeeper Yang, today I, Zhu De, have come as promised. But I wonder if you’re prepared for it? If you concede willingly, it’s not impossible! But from now on, please ensure your shop keeps its mouth in check. Stop saying that I, Zhu De, have unfairly taken your recipes!"
Sister Yang was incensed, yet she had to swallow her anger at the situation. "Don’t be so smug. Regardless of winning or losing, it doesn’t change the fact that you’ve seized and taken our dishes! Those recipes are well-known as coming from Food As Heaven. Even if you deny buying them from Li Yan, even if you falsely claim you’ve recreated them by taste, you cannot deny it. If you truly open a shop with those recipes, it would be an act of pettiness!"
"Petty?!" Those without shame often lack any semblance of it. Zhu De sneered, "Sweet and sour ribs, braised pork knuckle, Dongpo pork... these dishes are the most common in all the restaurants. Is Food As Heaven being too overbearing? I, Zhu De, want to open a restaurant. Why is it that any dish Food As Heaven can make, I, Zhu De, cannot?!"
Sister Yang was furious, "You’re clearly twisting my words! It’s not that you can’t make them, but that you can’t make them according to that recipe!"
"Ha, it’s like walking down the street. You see me wearing yellow clothes today. Later, you may see a bunch of people wearing yellow. If outfits can clash, how could recipes not?"
"A scoundrel’s behavior, shameless to the extreme!"
Sister Yang was so angered by Zhu De that she couldn’t speak. Zhu De was a woman, and in Dayuan’s context, usually, the ones daring to step out were the women supporting their families. After all, in this place, women were dominant over men, and the men stayed at home, busy adhering to the three obediences and four virtues.
Being called shameless, Zhu De not only wasn’t ashamed but felt even more pleased. Black cat or white cat, as long as it catches mice, it’s a good cat. Zhu De always judged her actions based on success or failure, not the process!
Moreover, if it were months ago, she might have hesitated due to the Huizi Store’s vast enterprise and the renowned Third Master Liang with his financial acumen. But times have changed; the Zhu family is destined to soar!
Thinking of the distinguished guest frequently visiting their residence, Zhu De’s face was full of satisfaction. The guest’s background was unimaginably prestigious.
Originally, the Zhu family was somewhat weaker than the Four Great Aristocratic Families. Yet recently, thanks to the distinguished guest, their home has been bustling. Three families among the Four Great Aristocratic Families sent generous gifts to the Zhu family, except for the Lian family.
But the Lian family has declined and can’t make any significant impact. After the Family Head passed away, it was led by an incompetent fool, Lian San, who was consumed by beauty day and night, marrying one husband after another, a hopeless case. Soon, the Lian family might be erased from Nanling.
And the Zhu family will replace the Lian family!!
Even if the Lian family has connections, so what? There were rumors they might be associated with people in the Capital, but could their support possibly be stronger than their distinguished guest?
Thinking of this, Zhu De was full of confidence and conviction!
