When they arrived at the entrance of the town, Zhao Er Shu's carriage could not be driven inside and could only be left outside, Zhao Er Shu (Second Uncle Zhao) uneasily also stayed outside the town to keep watch.

Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zheng'an took off their outer clothes to reveal the rag clothes inside,messed up their hair a bit, then they went inside the city with their heads down. The look was very common in the town, as the beggars also appear like this. As the result, the others stayed away from them when they saw them.

Jin Hua Restaurant is easy to find, as it is a large restaurant with a high ceiling, so you can see it at first glance, just walk in that direction. Luckily, Chang Shun Restaurant and Jin Hua are separated by a street, so they don't run into each other.

It was midday, the Jin Hua Restaurant was bustling with people, very crowded. Zhong Ziqi stood at the entrance, watched for a while before dragging Zhao Zheng'an inside.

"Guest, this is your first time coming here, right? What would you like to order?"

The shopkeeper greeted the two with a decent smile on his face, not looking down on Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zheng'an because they were dressed in rags. Zhong Ziqi was satisfied with this: "Where is your owner? I want to talk to him about something."

The waiter looked at him for a moment before shouting inside, "Boss, someone is looking for you."

"Coming!" In a short while, the figure of Boss Jin slowly appeared in front of the crowd: "Who is looking for me?"

The shopkeeper pointed his finger towards Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zheng'an, then turned to greet the other customers.

Jin Sheng's eyes narrowed, "You are?"

"Master Jin, you're a noble man who forgets things, not long ago,we just met." Zhong Ziqi said neither too fast nor too slow.

When he heard the voice, he thought it sounded familiar, when he looked closely, he finally remembered who it was: "It's you, look at my memory, come in! By the way, I don't know what I should call both of you." In fact, it was no wonder that Boss Jin didn't remember them, as it had been many days since they last met. He also had thought that the other party was not happy to sell, so he had forgotten about it. Today, when they first appeared, moreover, they were dressed like this, so it was strange if he could recognize them.

"My name is Zhong Ziqi, this is my husband( 夫君)Zhao Zheng'an."

Jin Sheng took the two of them to a single room on the second floor, ordered the waiter to serve some tea before coming over to sit down. He looked at the two men's attire up and down, between laughter and tears, "Why are you two dressed like this?" He didn't think that Zhong Ziqi had no money to buy clothes, as he knew his business hit really well, that's not even possible right?

Zhong Ziqi smiled bitterly, "It's hard to explain in a few words." With a sigh, Zhong Ziqi recounted the events of Chang Shun Restaurant.Boss Jin was not surprised at all, this kind of thing happened all the time so he was used to it. What interested him was that this ger was very special and felt very different.

[一言難盡 / yī yán nán jìn :

hard to explain in a few words (idiom); complicated and not easy to express succinctly]

"So you,have you agreed to my offer by finding this place today?" Master Jin asked.

Zhong Ziqi smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid there is nothing I can do if I don't agree, if only that Boss Jin can agree to my one request, then, I can also sell the two other dish recipes too which I guarantee that you don't have." This was the only bargaining chip he had, and a useful one too.
