Chapter 117: Wife? Do You Not Trust Me?
After a while, Cai Yixue regained her posture as she looked a bit embarrassed.
” What is it, Wife? Is the food was not up to your liking?” Jia Hao asked with a faint smile. Cai Yixue blushed as she shook her head.
” No…It was …good.” After that, she hurriedly changed the topic. ” Anyway, I believe the sauces and spices you have bought might flip the table.”
” However, we also need to set appropriate pricing for dishes like these. The sauces and spices must be very expensive after all…”
” Who said that?” Jia Hao interjected. ” You don’t need to worry about the price at all. All you need to do is the price these dishes as cheap as possible in the beginning.”
” We can slowly increase the price afterward.”
” You don’t care about the loss?” Cai Yixue glances at Jia Hao. ” The cost of these things, the transportation and sealing cost…”
” Hehe, My wife, as I said, I already took care of the.” Jia Hao grinned. ” So, All you have to do is to attract the customers.”
” I…Fine, We shall talk about it later.” Cai Yixue rubbed her forehead as she walked out. ” It’s already late. Let’s return.”
” Eh? But I just came back though?” Jia Hao chuckled a bit. ” Why not walk around the market?”
” Hm, Since you want that…I can comply.” Cai Yixue nodded after some thought.
With a smile, Jia Hao held Cai Yixue’s palm, making her face go all red. ” Wa-Wait, Don’t hold my hands like this.”
” Why not?” Jia Hao didn’t let her palm go and squeezed a bit more. ” You are my wife after all.”
” Bu-But!!”
” Well, Let’s go now.” Jia Hao chuckled as he held Cai Yixue and dragged her away.
Seeing Jia Hao and Cai Yixue, even the pedestrians couldn’t help but glance at them.
A handsome young man with a scholarly appearance, and an elegant beauty who looked detached from the mortal world, both of them made quite a pair.
” Whoa? Who is that pair?”
” Isn’t that… First Young Lad of Cai Family?”
” Ah, Don’t you know? She already married to someone?” That young man must be the Live in Son In Law of the Cai Family.”
” Tsk, He does look good. His luck is simply amazing.”
” Haah, Only if I was in his place.”
Jia Hao laughed inwardly as he held Cai Yixue’s hand even more dearly, letting the world know about his beautiful wife.
‘ Yes, Cry more, losers. Allow me to harvest some desire qi.’
However, as they were walking down, Jia Hao saw a place where a large amount crowd debating about something.
” What’s happening there?”
” That place? It looks like a big shop.” Cai Yixue frowned a bit before understanding. ” Ah, they are there to purchase salt.”
” So many people? Is salt not available here?” Jia Hao spoke with a baffled voice.
” No? It’s a rare commodity, strictly controlled by the Imperial Family and some authorized families. A half a jin of salt is worth a tael of gold.”
‘ That means a hundred silver for two hundred and fifty grams of salt? This is outrageous.’ Jia Hao was baffled.
However, he realized that it was not impossible.
This might be because the Yan Kingdom is nowhere near the sea, making them import salt from a distance. Not to mention, the preservation of salt is also another thing, making transportation harder.
” Well? Then what if we start the salt business?” Jia Hao asked Cai Yixue.
” We need to gain permission from Imperial Family. Then, we need another round of various permits. After that, we also need to pay the taxes for restriction along with taxes gained from the profits of the salt business.”
” Alright.” Jia Hao nodded. ” It’s more troublesome than I thought.”
” But the thing is, where are we going to find salt? Most of the salt comes from the high north and the salty lake.”
As they were walking while chatting, Jia Hao’s eyes suddenly squinted. He saw a person walking down on the road, with another familiar face on his side.
It was none other than Lei Qinzhu, who walked behind that man with his head bowed. Using his Sage’s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao looked at that man to gain his information.
[ Name: Sang Qian]
[ Age: 56]
[ Remark: The leader of Crimson Dagger Dojo and half step Innate Realm practitioner of blue internal qi]
[ Recent Future Point: After two days, he will die from the poison of Violet Smoke Grass, making Lei Qizu the leader of Crimson Dagger Dojo]
Jia Hao was alarmed when he saw the recent future point of Sang Qian. It was because he knew how he got poisoned by Violet Smoke Grass.
‘ Is that the herb Lei Qinzhu traded with a merchant? Could it be…’
Looking at Lei Qinzhu, he also used his Sage’s Divine Eyes.
[ Recent Future Point: After half an hour, Lei Qingzhu shall go and purchase a Bottle of Energy Refinement Pill and a bottle of aphrodisiac in the third left alley in the fourth block]
” What happened? Why did you stop?” Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao.
” Nothing, Just brooding over some things.” Jia Hao chuckled. ” Do you know about the Crimson Daggers Dojo?”
” They? They could be considered as a martial arts dojo who does various sorts of black and white things in Nanhai City.” Cai Yixue replied.
” But their main earning comes from retrieving loans, hunting monsters, and taking bounty missions.”
” Bounty missions?” Jia Hao couldn’t help but get interested. ” What are they? How do they work?”
” You see that place? There is a board where people put their requests. It’s secretly managed by Imperial Family though.” Cai Yixue spoke.
” The law enforcement order is much shabby than you think. If something got stolen or lost, people would rather place their bounty there than go to law enforcement hall and file a complaint.”
” However, serious crimes like murder, or other grave illegal activities still attract local government attention, which is now, my father is in charge.”
” I see… Thank you, Wife, for telling me so many things.” Jia Hao smiled. ” How about you return back?”
” You aren’t coming?”
” No, I won’t be coming with you. I found something interesting.” Jia Hao smiled mysteriously. ” So, I will be a bit late.”
” Going to Phoenix Cloud Pavilion…”
” …. ”
Jia Hao’s mysterious charm shattered in that instance. ” Wife, How can you say that? Do you have no faith in your husband?”
Cai Yixue pursed her lips as she looked at Jia Hao. She didn’t reply, but her expression said everything.
‘ This girl…’
Jia Hao became speechless. ‘ Why do everyone think me as a pervert?’
