Ma Dan was speechless too. "Honestly, I have a hard time understanding your modesty. Since you own the biggest ranch in the province, why do you insist on saying that you only have a small one?"
"Modesty, modesty," Yan Fei expressed helplessly. "If I go around telling people I own the biggest ranch in the province, people would consider it bragging and arrogant. It's our custom to be modest."
"Alright!" Ma Dan said, not understanding. "If that's the case, then why don't you go talk to Mr. Ivan right now? He might just be your next customer."
"No, I've changed my mind!" Yan Fei laughed. "Maybe I should listen more to your advice, as a traveler, rather than recklessly going to chat with Mr. Ivan directly. Besides, there will be dishes made from my beef at today's lunch banquet. I think it will be better to talk business after everyone has tasted it."
