Chapter 1532 Another scheme?
Because what Yu Tong threw on the blazing fire was not water but it was ——
Wet sand.
Yu Tong actually threw wet sand? What was she doing?
Yu Cheng's eyes narrowed as he watched his sister throw bucket after bucket of wet sand on the blazing fire. At first, he did not understand what was going on but then the fire that was roaring higher and higher in the sky slowly turned into a flickering flame.
His eyes widened in shock like the rest of the crowd.
"What…what just happened?" One of the women in the crowd asked as she could not believe her eyes, the fire was suppressed by wet sand instead of water.
"This is amazing. If fire can be suppressed by wet sand then we wouldn't have to worry about abrupt fires erupting in the summer now," another woman chimed up with an excited gasp.
The owner of the restaurant however did not care about the awed murmurs around her, she only cared about her restaurant which had been saved. It was already bad enough that she could not earn a decent sum of money because of the heat. If the restaurant was burned then the small sum of money that she earned by tightening her pocket and selling cold dishes, then her family would be left with nothing.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" The owner of the restaurant thanked Yu Tong again and again. "Becuase of you, my restaurant managed to survive this tragedy. If not , I and my family would have to beg on thge street."
"There is no need for you to thank me," Yu Tong waved her hand as she calmly spoke to the owner, "I did what I could, since I can help there is nothing wrong with helping others."
She then turned to look at the rest of the crowd and said to them, "If possible you all can also go back and soak sand in water that is dirty and cannot be used to bath and drink. This way yiu can use it to douse fire, compared to water,sand can cut of the air supply which will suppress the fire much quickly."
"Madam, you are really knowledgeable and wise, are you a scholar?" One of the women in the crowd was impressed by the things that Yu Tong was telling the crowd.
"This is something that my sister told me," Yu Tong did not take the credit. "My cousin was the one who told me about this, I am only borrowing her knowledge and nothing else."
When the crowd heard Yu Tong's words they were even more impressed by her. If it was someone else, they would have definitely tried to take advantage of the fact that their sister was not present and acted like a scholar.
But this young woman was different; she was honest and kind. She did not take credit for something that she had not done.@@novelbin@@
"You are really brave, sister! Even if you knew how to control the fire, it is really courageous of you to jump in the roaring fire like that," a mer in the crowd said to Yu Tong. His eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Yu Tong.
"It was nothing. Nothing at all," Yu Tong waved her hand as she did not think that she had done anything too great.
However the more she acted like this the more the crowd praised her.
"Tch," Yu Cheng clicked his tongue when he saw how Yu Tong was being admired by all. She did nothing, just threw a few buckets of sand. Was there a need to praise her like this?
He turned around and was about to walk away when——
"This..there is no need for you to do this," Yu Tong immediately refused the owner who was holding a broken silver piece in her hand. A broken silver was equivalent to five hundred copper coins and it was not a small sum.
Yu Cheng's eyes widened and his mouth fell open.
A broken piece of silver? The owner was giving such a high price to Yu Tong just because she threw sand?
"What are you saying, madam?" The owner of the restaurant smiled and said to Yu Tong, "Madam, you came running and helped me and my family by saving this restaurant from getting burned."
"You could have gotten injured but you didn't hold yourself back because you were kind and brave enough to help a poor woman like me. This is what you deserve," the owner of the restaurant pushed the broken silver in the hands of Yu Tong who pursed her lips.
She wanted to refuse but she couldn't as the owner of the restaurant was way too persistent.
In the end, Yu Tong could only take the broken piece of silver and say, "If you are free, come to the Mer Bar, and I will serve you and your family." As she spoke she handed the extra VIP card that she carried with him and handed it to the owner of the restaurant.
"Woah? Is she the manager of the Mer Bar?"
"I think she is! I saw her working in the Mer Bar with Brother Xiao. She takes care of the women's complaints."
"Wow, looks like the owner of the restaurant hit it big."
While the crowd was excited after finding Yu Tong's identity, Yu Cheng's eyes were fixated on the broken piece of silver that Yu Tong was holding in her hands.
His eyes flashed again and again before he finally came to a conclusion and smiled sinisterly.
He took one last look at the smiling Yu Tong before turning on his feet and walking away.
On the other side of the mountain,
Yu Dong was supervising the workers. And by workers she meant the family members of Yu Sa's family.
They were asked to cut off the dried logs that were sticking out of the land as well as use the planks to create the container inside which mushrooms would be grown.
Neither Yu Sa nor Yu Binghuan or anyone in their family was happy about it!
