Chapter 291: The Contest 1
What was Brother Lord Huai doing here? And why was he with Gu Chaoyan, the b***h?
County Princess Anxi shook her head in disbelief. Then she realized something, took a few steps ahead, smiled and asked Zhou Huaijin. “Brother Lord Huai, are you here visiting me?”
Zhou Huaijin frowned, took a few steps backwards and stood close to Gu Chaoyan. He looked at County Princess Anxi with a pair of cold eyes. “I heard that you have a bet with Yellow Crane? I am here competing against you together with Yan! Who is the man trying to compete with us? Come out now, stop wasting time. I am very busy.” He sounded very impatient.
In the past, he did not speak with County Princess Anxi, nor did he give her any trouble, because of the Elder Princess, but she, unexpectedly, caused Chaoyan a lot of trouble! Now he truly did not want to spare any of her reputation.
County Princess Anxi looked displeased. She almost forgot that Brother Lord Huai owned Yellow Crane. No wonder Brother Lord Huai was treating her like this, but it was okay, as long as she won the bet this time, Brother Lord Huai was going to see how excellent she was. Brother Lord Huai was going to, she thought, think highly of her as long as Restaurant Jixian defeated Yellow Crane! She could offer half of Restaurant Jixian to Brother Lord Huai, if he ever paid attention to her too!
At that time, Brother Lord Huai was definitely going to take Restaurant Jixian’s side. As for Yellow Crane... he could do whatever he wanted with it!
As she thought through the whole thing, County Princess Anxi became calmer. She threw a look at Zhou Huaijin in an admiring way, nodded and said, “Okay!”
Then she whispered something to the manager.
The manager pa.s.sed by Chaoyan with a proud look on his face.
Due to the contest held between Restaurant Jixian and Yellow Crane, commoners were not accepted in Restaurant Jixian any more. Therefore, there were lots of jars outside Restaurant Jixian, and the place was totally empty. The audience was watching the show somewhere not too far away.
Chaos arose among the audience. Everyone was watching the contest held between these two big restaurants in the capital, of which the owners were Lord Huai and Elder Princess respectively.
The manager soon asked the treasure of Restaurant Jixian to come out to the public, he was named Qin Mingjie.
Qin Mingjie and his ancestors had been making liquor for generations. He grew up drinking wine, and he had been beaten by no one in the aspect of wine drinking, and no one was able to get him drunk.
When he appeared and greeted Gu Chaoyan’s eyes, she finally understood why Manager Song and Zhou Huaijin were worried about letting her do the contest herself. Qin Mingjie was almost 190cm tall, and he was extremely strong, even Zhou Huaijin looked small in front of him. He had a huge belly, at least four times bigger than that of Gu Chaoyan’s.
Gu Chaoyan’s face twitched. Qin Mingjie was indeed a strong contestant. Thank goodness she had the s.p.a.ce, otherwise no one would beat him.
Seeing Gu Chaoyan’s expression, County Princess Anxi was sure that she must have been startled. With her hands on her waist, she said to Gu Chaoyan with chin raised. “How does it look, Gu Chaoyan? You can quit now if you want, and if you quit now, your Yellow Crane can still sell some wine, under my order!”
