Xu Congyi followed Shen Xiao into the store. The shop assistants were polite to him. Shen Xiao took Xu Congyi up to the second floor with ease.

"Knock knock knock" Shen Xiao knocked on the innermost carved wooden door.

"Who is it?" Hearing the lazy voice, it felt like the person inside was still asleep.

"It's me, Shen Xiao."

There was a rustling sound from the door. After waiting for a while, the door was opened. Xu Congyi didn't expect that the owner of Tang's Pastry was also a teenager.

"You finally came to see me? I thought you had forgotten about me as your friend!" The young man put his arm on Shen Xiao's shoulder and joked to him.

Shen Xiao dodged calmly. The young man curled his lips and then noticed Xu Congyi behind Shen Xiao.

"Who is this girl?"

Shen Xiao introduced the two to each other, "This is Xu Congyi, this is the sister Xu who helped my grandfather with his medical treatment that I mentioned to you before; this is Tang Wenhao, the boss of Tang's Pastry, and we are classmates and friends. Wenhao, sister Xu has a delicious snack and wants to do this business with you, so I brought her here directly."

"Tsk tsk, so you didn't come to see me because you missed me, but you came here to lobby for someone else." Tang Wenhao looked unhappy and said in a low voice, "You really value women over friendship."

Shen Xiao patted Tang Wenhao on the shoulder and told him not to talk nonsense. However, Xu Congyi who was behind Shen Xiao did not hear clearly. She looked at Shen Xiao in confusion and asked what Tang Wenhao had just said.

"I didn't say anything, nothing," Tang Wenhao smiled again and turned sideways to let the two people into the house to talk.

Xu Congyi stretched out her hand to open the bamboo box. The lid was filled with an alluring milky aroma. She carefully lifted the lid as if there was some treasure hidden inside. Tang Wenhao held his breath, looking forward to seeing this mysterious snack. As the owner of a pastry shop, he had tasted countless delicious pastries. This snack was wrapped in a thin layer of sugar skin, which was crispy and crunchy. It broke into crumbs when bitten. The sugar skin was wrapped with a soft filling, with a delicate taste, overflowing milky aroma, sweet but not greasy. He ate several in a row before he was willing to put it down. Every bite made Tang Wenhao feel an unprecedented satisfaction. He seemed to be in a sweet world, and every bite was a challenge and enjoyment for his taste buds.

Seeing Tang Wenhao's reaction, Shen Xiao felt that the deal was almost done. Before Xu Congyi opened his mouth, Shen Xiao started asking.

"Wenhao, what do you think of this snack at the Chrysanthemum Poetry Meeting?"

"What is the name of this snack?" Tang Wenhao did not answer directly, but looked at Xu Congyi and asked the name.

Xu Congyi was a little nervous, not knowing whether this would work or not. However, Shen Xiao knew his friend's temperament and character. If it didn't work, he would definitely refuse directly instead of asking for the name like this.

"Popcorn".

"Popcorn," Tang Wenhao repeated, "Is this thing made of rice? What kind of rice?"

"It's corn. Actually, it should be called popcorn, but I just called it for simplicity, so I call it popcorn."

Tang Wenhao nodded. The name of this snack contained flowers, which was in line with the meaning of the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival. "Miss Xu," Tang Wenhao said seriously, "I wonder how much you want to bid?"

Xu Cong was stunned by the question. She just came here to try her luck and didn't consider these things. If Tang Ji was willing to cooperate with her, she planned to buy popcorn kernels, butter and white sugar directly from the space, so that there would be no cost, only her labor cost. In fact, Xu Cong planned to buy ready-made popcorn directly from the space from the beginning, but the popcorn sold in the space was only 150g in a small bucket, and it was packed in a plastic bucket, which was troublesome and difficult to handle.

Seeing that Xu Congyi didn't say anything, Shen Xiao spoke up, "Although the raw material of this popcorn is cheap corn, it tastes great. It has sugar in it, and it tastes like milk. It should be milk in it." After saying that, Shen Xiao turned his head to look at Xu Congyi.

"Right!" Xu Congyi reacted, "Strictly speaking, it's not cow's milk that's added, but the milk fat extracted from cow's milk, so it has such a rich milky flavor."

Seeing that Tang Wenhao did not respond, Xu Congyi continued, "This popcorn is fluffy and light, and it is inconvenient to weigh it by kilogram. We can charge by the number of servings. You provide the container, and I will take 30% of the net profit. If the popcorn can get good reviews at the Chrysanthemum Poetry Conference, I think there will be a steady stream of customers buying it."

Tang Wenhao stood up, opened the door, called the servant downstairs, said a few words and the servant ran away. Not long after, he came back with an exquisite little box.

This small box is carved from wood, and the chrysanthemums carved on the lid are lifelike. After opening it, Xu Congyi took a look at the capacity and estimated that it could only hold a few dozen grams.

"Is this kind of box okay? Fill it all up. The Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival will be held for three days, 100 copies per day. Can it be made?" Tang Wenhao asked.

Xu Congyi nodded. This was a trivial matter for her. "I live in Liushuzhuang Village. I would like to trouble Boss Tang to deliver these boxes to Xu's house at the end of the village. I will prepare the first day's boxes on the first day of the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival. And so on. You can just send someone to pick them up."

"Okay, I got it," Tang Wenhao nodded. "The Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival will be held in ten days. I'll send someone to pick up all the finished wooden boxes tomorrow and send them to you. The price will be based on what you said."

Boss Tang was straightforward and Xu Congyi was also happy. After finishing his work, Xu Congyi planned to go home. Tang Wenhao was also open-minded and asked his staff to pack some of the store's best-selling pastries for Xu Congyi to take away.
