Satisfied with his glance at the troublemakers, Xiaozhou continued to fondle the big gold chain in his hand and said, "Originally, I wanted to book the top-floor private room today! You all know my uncle has ties with Drunken Immortal Building, so to me, this place is just like my own home! But because the notice was sent out too late last time, the top-floor rooms were all taken! So I can only put you guys out a bit!"

"Is that so!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood...

The two girls who came with Xiaomei were especially star-struck!

At this moment, they thought Xiaomei was really foolish!

With such an eligible diamond bachelor like Five here, how could she not think of holding on to him!

Instead, she went to sit with a 'peasant'!

This was nothing short of forsaking an entire forest for a crooked tree!

Enjoying that adoration, Xiaozhou arrogantly glanced at Xiaomei, the corners of his mouth twitching viciously!

Because he noticed Xiaomei was talking to Hu Xiaobei...

"What the hell!"

Grumbling annoyedly, he heard footsteps, and soon, he saw all sorts of delicious food being served!

Looking at the four or five-pound lobster and various culinary delights, Xiaozhou laughed!

As a nouveau riche, he hadn't really had the chance to eat such fine food, so he was quite envious at the moment!

Taking a deep breath, Xiaozhou looked around, noticing everyone eyeing the dishes with eager tension!

"It looks like everyone is interested in these delicious dishes!"

With that thought, Xiaozhou coughed and said, "Everyone, you should thank Hu Xiaobei for these great dishes!"

Hearing Xiaozhou's words, everyone glanced at Hu Xiaobei!

However, their gazes were not grateful but rather full of mockery...

Hu Xiaobei noticing their stares, realized they were obviously taking him for a fool...

"Still pretending? I want to see how long you can keep it up!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's indifferent expression, Xiaozhou was irritated!

Hesitating slightly, he looked at the leaving waiter and said, "Bring two more bottles of your finest red wine!"

"Yes!"

After the waiter affirmed and departed!

After the waiter left, Xiaozhou looked at the others, exuding arrogance as he spoke, "Alright, everyone, let's start eating!"

"OK!"

Everyone agreed and began furiously scrambling for the food!

They looked just like refugees...

Watching them, Hu Xiaobei gently shook his head, "In the end, who are the ones who haven't seen the outside world?"

Muttering so, Hu Xiaobei noticed that Xiaomei showed no intention of eating and curiously asked, "What's wrong? Not to your taste?"

"Yes! I prefer lighter food!"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei thought of the vegetables he had brought.

With a slight smile, Hu Xiaobei turned, took out some cucumbers, and after washing them, he placed them on the table and said, "These are grown by me, and they taste pretty good. If anyone is interested, feel free to try them!"

"Are you an idiot?"

"Exactly!"

"Such a fool!"

While they were munching on the lobster and heard Hu Xiaobei's words, they coldly mocked him!

In their view, Hu Xiaobei was really an idiot!

With so much delicious food around, who would be interested in eating cucumbers!

"Xiaobei, pass me one!"

"Sure!"

Chuckling, Hu Xiaobei handed one to Li Da!

Then Xiaomei also took one.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei passing the cucumbers to them and wiping his mouth, Xiaozhou scoffed, "Hu Xiaobei, you too are a vegetable grower, right? How about this! Bow to me as an apology, and I will speak well of you to my uncle, then he can buy all the vegetables you produce from now on! How does that sound?"

As he spoke, Xiaozhou's face was full of pride.

"Forget about it! I am not worried about selling my vegetables!"

"Idiot, do you know? Xiaozhou's uncle is the biggest vegetable merchant in our city, clinging to his coattails could bring you endless benefits!"

"Absolutely!"

"What a lack of foresight!"

Hu Xiaobei's refusal was met with sneers from everyone...

Hu Xiaobei couldn't be bothered with them and simply broke the cucumber he held in his hands.

As Hu Xiaobei made his move, a wave of fresh aroma instantly filled the air...

Everyone smelled the refreshing scent, momentarily excited, for the fragrance was indeed captivating!

Just as they were about to say something, they suddenly heard exclamations!

Turning around, they saw both Li Da and Xiaomei gaping in astonishment!

"What's going on?"

As they stood there bewildered, Xiaomei and Li Da recovered,

"Xiaobei, this... this cucumber..."

Seeing them too excited to even utter a complete sentence, Hu Xiaobei calmly said, "Don't be nervous, take your time!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Li Da, who had just swallowed his mouthful of cucumber, excitedly said, "This cucumber tastes really good! Did you grow this yourself?"

"Yes!"

"That's amazing! The taste is just fantastic!"

Hearing Li Da's heartfelt praise, Sun Xiaozhou mocked directly, "Isn't that too obvious? Are we idiots?"

"Exactly! How can a cucumber be so delicious?"

"Right, right!"

"It's just nonsense!"

Seeing how excited Li Da was, Sun Xiaozhou and the others mocked him…

"What are you talking about? Try it yourself!"

As he spoke, Li Da again looked at Hu Xiaobei with excitement!

...

"Try it? Try it! Soon, it'll be a slap in your face!"

As they spoke, each of them grabbed a cucumber!

"Mei, is this cucumber really that good?"

"Yes, Mei!"

As Sun Xiaozhou and his followers picked up the cucumbers, the two girls who appeared with Xue Xiaomei quickly asked her!

Xue Xiaomei heard their questions but had no intention of responding, as she was completely focused on the cucumber...

Previously, Xue Xiaomei hadn't wanted to waste Hu Xiaobei's money, so she had refrained from eating!

Similarly, while everyone else frantically grabbed the lobsters, she held back!

Then, she saw Hu Xiaobei washing the cucumbers!

Out of curiosity, she took one. Although she hadn't cared much at first, after tasting it, she was truly shaken!

Because the taste of the cucumber was amazing!

Previously, when she had held it in her hand, she could smell a rich, refreshing fragrance!

After biting into it, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

Because the moment she bit through the skin, a refreshing scent burst forth, instantly transporting her to an endless forest!

"Let's try it too!"

"Okay!"

Not getting a response from Xue Xiaomei, the two girls also picked up a cucumber!

At this time, Sun Xiaozhou and the others were already examining them carefully!

"This cucumber doesn't look special at all!"

"Exactly, as if it's going to taste good!"

"I think so too!"

As they mocked, they quickly took a bite!

The next moment, they sat stunned...

Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, a faint smile played at the corners of Hu Xiaobei's mouth...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei also picked up a cucumber and took a bite...

In the neighboring private room, several women were having a gathering!

At that time, one of the women in her thirties put down her chopsticks and lazily asked, "Do you smell that? There's a fresh cucumber scent!"

Hearing this, the other women misunderstood her, bashfully responding, "Sister, what era are you living in? We don't have a cucumber scent on us!"

"Exactly!"

"We've stopped using cucumbers a long time ago!"

Hearing their off-target answers, the woman was stunned!

Seeing her puzzled expression, they suspiciously retorted…

"Sister, you're not still using cucumbers, are you?"

"Right!"

"Cucumbers are not appealing! We recommend you use…"

Realizing what they meant, the woman scoffed softly!

The next moment, she shyly twirled her long hair and said, "What are you talking about? It seems like there's a fresh cucumber scent coming from outside!"

"Really?"

As they asked this, they sniffed carefully and soon, their eyes lit up!

Because they too smelled it, and the scent of the cucumber was indeed very fresh!

"This scent is really great!"

"Exactly, it feels like I'm in the very heart of an organic vegetable field!"

"Yes! Me too!"

Hearing their excited remarks, the first woman quickly called for the waiter!

When the waiter came over, she immediately asked, "What is this fragrance about? Is it a dish? If so, we want one too!"

"Sorry, this is drifting in from the next room, apparently from their own cucumbers!"

"Oh!"

After dismissing the waiter, they exchanged glances, and quickly, all at once, they stood up!

They decided to go to the next room to see what was going on!

After leaving their room, they were startled to see that many people were crowding around the neighboring room...

They knew those people were probably attracted by the fragrance...

Thinking this, their curiosity growing, they quickly joined in...

Inside the room, Hu Xiaobei glanced at Sun Xiaozhou's shocked face and asked casually, "How is it? Is the cucumber taste alright?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's question, many thoughts raced through Sun Xiaozhou's mind!

Soon, Sun Xiaozhou, controlling his excitement, responded indifferently, "It's just average! It's still far behind the top-grade vegetables my uncle has! But it's passable! How about this? From now on, we'll buy all the vegetables you grow, at market price, what do you say?"
