Chapter 1004: A Big Show

Dangdang Dangdang!

The man hit the gong.

Xiaobai bowed and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you all for your trust in our shop. To reassure everyone, I, Bai Hong, will smash the jars and take out the raw ingredients for the fried food for everyone to review!"

Xiaobai raised his fist and smashed the two jars to pieces with a clang.

Everyone was shocked and clapped their hands in applause. "Brother Bai, your skills are incredible. You should go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. You will definitely achieve great success and become a general!"

Pretty Xiaobai said, "Well, fighting and killing are not good. I still want to take the imperial examination and become a refined civil servant in the future."

Everyone looked at the jar he had broken: "..."

Otherwise, you should join the army. It will definitely be easier to achieve good results than taking the imperial examination.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The guy rang the gong again, reminding Xiaobai...don't change the subject and keep talking about serious matters.

"Look, diners! The two kinds of potatoes in my hand are the ingredients for our fried meatballs!" Xiaobai picked up the mountain yam and said, "The white one is the peeled yam, which makes the crispy fried meatballs you eat. The tuber with a light purple-red interior is the mountain yam, which makes the fragrant and sticky fried cakes you eat!"

"They all come from Lingnan Prefecture, the southernmost province of the Great Wei. They yield up to two thousand kilograms per mu. They're wild potatoes that the older generation in Lingnan Prefecture would dig up and roast when they went into the mountains to chop firewood!"

"The people of Lingnan have been eating these for thousands of years, and they still eat them every year. But Young Master Huang is shocked that you don't have these two high-yield potatoes in the north!"

Boom! The crowd erupted in excitement. They no longer understood what Xiaobai was saying, only hearing this: "Two thousand catties per mu? Is that true? Where in the world can a crop yield two thousand catties per mu?!"

"No, there's definitely not 2,000 kilograms of crops. Don't believe him... This Xiaobai is the prostitute of the young master of the Huang Family Trading Company in Lingnan. He's even lower than a whore."

"Don't trust this kind of bastard. He's lying. He's just trying to stir up trouble and become famous because Young Master Huang is engaged and he's been abandoned. He wants to make a name for himself and secure a better future for himself!"

In the crowd, several voices were shouting, full of malice.

Without any orders from Madam Cui, the leader of the female guards raised her hand and made a gesture, and the female guards disguised in the crowd rushed towards those who spoke ill of them.

Bang bang bang!

He knocked down eight people, then grabbed them and brought them to the door of the shop... The small shop door had to bear a burden that it shouldn't have to bear.

The Chen family members rolled up their sleeves, grabbed the eight people, and slapped them: "You bastards, you even spread rumors about our son-in-law. Do you really think that the Lingnan Chen family has no one left?"

Another member of the Chen family shouted to the crowd outside, "Everyone, we are descendants of the Lingnan Chen family. Our son-in-law and Brother Bai have no bad intentions. They are comrades who supported each other in conquering the world. We hope that everyone will not believe the rumors spread by the evildoers and ruin the future of these two promising young men!"

Well, Xiaobai was a little embarrassed... Although he and Brother Long were fake, over the years, in order to piss off Mr. Zheng, they acted wherever they went.

Madam Cui said, "Everyone, even Duke Yan and Mr. Jing have praised Young Master Bai Hong. He has also made great contributions in his century-long undercover work. He is truly a talented person of our time!"

She had a special status, so her words were very effective and the Wei people present believed her.

"Bai buddy, we believe you are innocent!"

noob:"……"

There's no need to shout like that, it makes me feel like I've been fucked.

"Taro is poisonous. There are records in the ancient books of the official bookstore that although taro is high-yielding, it is poisonous. After eating it, the throat feels like it is being bitten by thousands of ants at the very least, and at the worst, the throat will swell and the person will suffocate to death!" Someone else shouted in the crowd.

"Hahaha, you guys are truly loyal! Even at this point, you're still blocking the promotion of high-yield grain and potato varieties, preventing the world's poor from having enough to eat!" Madam Cui pointed at the diners and said, "But after eating for a month, has anyone suffocated to death?!"

"But the ancient books handed down from the previous dynasty say it's poisonous. They also mention how many people died from eating taro!"

"Then we have to ask the author of the book why he deliberately exaggerated the toxicity of taro and potatoes? He used the poison to scare the world, making them afraid to eat taro and potatoes!" Madam Cui ignored the half-slave who was shouting, and only looked at the people of Wei who lined the street. She asked, "Does what's written in the book have to be true? Do you believe the nonsense in the ancient books, or do you believe the fried taro and potatoes you've eaten this month?!"

"If you're worried, you can follow me to the farm and dig up taro and sweet potatoes right there to see the yield per mu. And see if the taro is poisonous enough to kill people!"

Everyone was shocked. "Going to the farm to check out the taro? Madam Tai said that our Taizhou Mansion has already grown high-yield taro?"

Madam Cui nodded. "That's right. Although we're in the north, the weather isn't that cold. In late October, there's only a white frost, which won't kill the taro, sweet potato, or wild potato!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the nobles mixed in the crowd, including Mi Sanlang in the shop and the young master of the Mi family, all felt dizzy and almost fainted.

The Huang family really did plant sweet potatoes and yam near Taizhou Mansion, but they searched for more than half a month and couldn't find any potatoes... They were defeated, completely defeated this time.

Deputy General Zhao and his son finally realized that they were being dragged into a big show today!

"Third Brother Mi, did your family deliberately come to my house to ask for help and drag my family into this drama? How could your family do this?!" Young Master Zhao questioned, his eyes red. He felt that his sincerity had been used and was very sad.

Mi Sanlang and his cousin Mi ignored him completely, and even thought he was useless, and even shifted the blame: "It was the Huang family and Bai Hong who used you to perform in the opera."

They didn't dare tell Madam Cui, for fear that if they did, the female guards would use Emperor Taizong of Wei's imperial edict to deal with them.

"Xiao Bing, take them with you and go to the farm to dig taro and sweet potatoes." After giving her instructions, Madam Cui called out to Wei Min outside the door, "Please follow me to the farm. I will dig taro and sweet potatoes myself and eat them for you to see!"

"The Madam has invited us, so we have to go anyway. Please lead the way!" Everyone shouted, thinking that the law does not punish the masses, and the Cui family is also a powerful and aristocratic family. If Madam Cui takes the lead in slapping the aristocratic family in the face, what are they afraid of? They can just follow and watch the fun.

Moreover, after watching this excitement, they can brag about it for three generations. In the future, when they make friends, do business, or find work, they can use it as capital to brag about it, which will bring them many benefits.

Boom boom boom!

The female guards beat drums and shouted, "The Lady Cui of Xincheng County is traveling. Everyone ahead should get out of the way!"

Some people who didn't know who Madam Cui was, when they heard the word "Princess", immediately made way, not daring to block the noble lady's way.

A large group of people marched out of the city's main street and headed towards the northeastern suburbs.

"Mom, mom, I'm late!" Cui Shanchang shouted. He finally saw his mother.

But Mrs. Cui pretended not to hear.

“…” Principal Cui had no choice but to take many disciples, descendants of the Cui family, and martial artists to follow Madam Cui’s team.

The team grew from a few hundred people to several thousand people. The crowd was extremely huge.

Ying Zilin and Ying's great-uncle were also in the crowd, following the crowd towards the village.

Ying Zilin would ask from time to time, "Is the funeral procession ready? Keep a close eye on all sides to avoid any mistakes."

The Ying family assassin replied, "Sir, everything is ready. When the time comes, the funeral procession will arrive immediately."
