The next morning, Tang Wenhao arranged for someone to deliver the carved wooden box to Xu Congyi. He repeatedly told the servant to tell Xu Congyi to make more and leave some food for him, and he would buy it with money. The servant remembered his master's instructions and drove the carriage with the carved wooden box to Liushuzhuang Village. After entering the village, he turned around and asked a villager for directions, and successfully found Xu's house.

In the early morning at Xu's house, the sun shines through the mottled leaves and onto the bluestone slabs in the yard. Xu Congyi is wearing loose clothes and doing radio gymnastics seriously. Her movements are standard and smooth. Xu Congyi heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the door. She was moved and wondered who might be looking for her. She looked from afar and saw a stranger leading a carriage, walking towards Xu's house. As expected, it stopped at the gate of Xu's house. The stranger saw Xu Congyi standing in the yard and tried to ask:

"Girl, are you Miss Xu Congyi?"

"That's right," Xu Congyi nodded and asked the servant to lead the horse into the house. "Did Boss Tang ask you to deliver the carved wooden box containing snacks?"

The servant replied, "Miss Xu, these are the wooden boxes needed for the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival. We prepared a few more, a total of 330." The servant touched his head a little embarrassedly, "Miss Xu, my young master also asked me to hope you can make more. He didn't eat enough from the small box last time. He doesn't want it for nothing. He will buy it from you with silver."

In fact, Xu Cong had guessed it early. She had made some in advance last night and planned to let the guy who delivered the carved wooden box bring it to Tang Wenhao today. After all, it was unreasonable for the boss not to have enough popcorn. After taking the big bag for Tang Wenhao, Xu Congyi gave some to the boy to eat on the way. In terms of human relations, Xu Congyi had lived for 28 years and still understood it.

As expected, when Tang Wenhao saw a big bag of popcorn, his eyes widened and his liking for Xu Congyi increased a bit. Tang Wenhao loves to eat and is picky about food. He can say that delicious food tastes excellent. For example, Tang Ji's pastries must first pass his test before they can be sold. This is why Tang Ji's pastries are sold at a high price, but there is still an endless stream of people buying them.

At noon on the first day, Xu Congyi prepared the popcorn needed for the next day and let it cool. The whole family worked together and it was done quickly. Xu Congyi lied that the butter and white sugar were provided by the owner of Tangji Pastry. When the Xu family smelled the fragrance, they exclaimed, no wonder everyone said Tangji pastries were delicious, the raw materials alone looked extraordinary, and they even smelled of a sweet milky flavor.

Xu Congyi did not make all the popcorn for three days. Popcorn is easily affected by moisture, and she did not find anything that could be used as a desiccant, so she had to make one a day to ensure the taste of the popcorn. She still made some extra for Tang Wenhao, and specifically told the visitor that the popcorn for Mr. Tang was free. If the Chrysanthemum Poetry Meeting could make the popcorn famous, then she would have to continue dealing with Tang Wenhao in the future. Before, when she came out of Tang’s Pastry, Tang Wenhao specifically asked the waiter to pack some pastries for her. The price of this popcorn was not worth mentioning compared to those pastries, so she understood the principle of being grateful to the person who gave her the favor, and Tang Wenhao, as a businessman, understood it even better.

When Tang Wenhao saw the free popcorn specially brought for him, he naturally knew what Xu Congyi meant, but he was also happy to see it happen. With his acumen in the pastry business, he believed that with the help of the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival, the popcorn would be a big hit. By then, there would definitely be more than just him who wanted to do the popcorn business, and he would have to beg Xu Congyi to do business with him.

Sure enough, on the first day of the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival, some people came to Tangji Pastry to inquire about the small, milky, crispy and soft snacks at the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival, and wanted to buy some to take home. The staff of Tangji Pastry had been trained in advance, and all those who came to the store to inquire about popcorn were told that it was specially prepared for the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival, and the store would not sell it to the public, and would consider whether to put it on the shelves in the store after the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival.

The day after the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival, Tang Wenhao specifically looked for Shen Xiao, wanting him to accompany him to Liushuzhuang Village to find Xu Congyi. Shen Xiao knew that the popcorn had become famous after the publicity of the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival. Tang Wenhao went to Liushuzhuang Village for two purposes. One was to give Xu Congyi the income for the past three days. On the other hand, the response to the popcorn was so good that he also wanted to seize this business opportunity and grab an exclusive business. The reason why he called Shen Xiao was because Shen Xiao accompanied Xu Congyi to talk to him last time. The relationship between the two must be good, and maybe he could help him speak.

Xu Congyi also heard from his elder and second brothers that popcorn was very popular. The two brothers' teacher was also on the list of invited guests for the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival. In class, the teacher also told them that there was a special snack at the Chrysanthemum Poetry Festival. After hearing the description, the two brothers knew it must be popcorn, but because Xu Congyi had previously told them not to tell others about her making popcorn, the two brothers did not make it public.
