Chapter 274: Insight
Shopkeeper Wu chuckled, "Old Brother Wu, you jest again! We really have no more dried wolf meat! Today’s meat was brought by my grandniece herself, and thinking of how much you enjoy it, I hastily instructed the kitchen to prepare it and brought it out for you. Please, have a taste—"
Old Man Wu didn’t stand on ceremony as he reached out with his chopsticks to pick up the dried wolf meat. After chewing it for a moment, his expression softened slightly, "It has the right flavor! But how come this dried wolf meat brought by the girl tastes the same as yours? You wouldn’t be trying to fool me, would you?"
"Look at what you’re saying, Old Brother Wu. The dried wolf meat from our shop is indeed made by my grandniece’s family. How could it not taste the same?" Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly explained.
Old Man Wu looked at Wang Yongzhu, nodded, and stopped talking. He just kept his head down and continued eating the dried meat, rarely reaching for other dishes—seemingly genuinely fond of the meat.
Wang Yongzhu was very perceptive, and immediately with a smile, he poured a cup of wine for both Old Man Wu and Shopkeeper Wu, "If Uncle Wu likes this, we have plenty more at home, still a couple of pounds left. I’ll bring some over tomorrow! At our home, we also have a wolf meat sauce that’s even tastier than this—put it on pancakes or steamed buns, and I wouldn’t even trade it for a roasted chicken!"
With these words, Old Man Wu slurped down a sip of wine and grabbed another piece of dried meat with his chopsticks, neither accepting nor declining the offer.
Wu Zhongbao was also interested in the dried wolf meat, but he couldn’t defy his father, who was extremely protective of his food. Who would dare compete with him for the meat, lest they risk being disowned?
Therefore, feeling quite indifferent, Wu Zhongbao took a couple of bites of the other dishes before he couldn’t hold back his curiosity anymore and asked, "Are you planning to redeem the Wang Family’s land?"
"Cough cough..." Old Man Wu, choking on a sip of wine, coughed violently.
