Chapter 1035 - 1037: Having Fun (2)
Tuoba Liang raised his eyebrows, showing his lack of understanding of Cai Wei’s words.
Cai Wei did not provide much explanation, as Zhao Yun was an excellent woman who didn’t need her to sell her merits; she could find a man who would appreciate and adore her on her own. If she had to persuade and sell Zhao Yun’s qualities, it would actually detract from her beauty.
That day, Cai Wei collected over ten thousand pieces of glass burned by the Meng slaves into her space, and paid the silver taels in full.
Tuoba Liang had long heard that Cai Wei was not an ordinary person, but even when he actually witnessed Cai Wei’s low shout, "Collect!", and saw the ten thousand pieces of glass disappear in an instant, he was still severely shocked!
Cai Wei did not hide her abilities from him; she used her unique skills in front of him. Firstly, because there was no other way to transport so much glass at once and also to deter him. So that when the commercial street became prosperous, he wouldn’t harbor any greedy thoughts!
In addition to that, she gave Tuoba Liang silver bills worth fifty thousand taels of silver for him to purchase materials to build the commercial street.
Tuoba Liang was very satisfied with Cai Wei’s generosity. Although he was an aristocrat of the Meng slaves, the Meng territory was barren and economically backward, and the royal wealth was pitifully small. Even as a young prince, he didn’t possess fifty thousand taels of silver.
After taking care of these matters, as the daylight approached evening, Tuoba Liang cordially invited Cai Wei to join him for dinner. Since they were business partners, Cai Wei found it difficult to refuse, especially since she was hungry herself and happily agreed.
The dinner was not surprising, with various types of boiled meats: beef, mutton, and horse meat, all stewed to tenderness, dipped in a sauce specially made by the Meng slaves; there was also roast meat with a burnt crust, smeared with a thick layer of seasoning; the cheese was freshly made and overwhelmingly rich in flavor. The barley wine was indeed fragrant and strong, but Cai Wei was not a drinker of strong liquors, having only a small sip before she could drink no more.
