I trade in both worlds

Xu Xu didn't hear clearly, and looked at her with tilted head, his face full of question marks. Xu Ziqing wanted to pretend that she didn't understand, but she failed. She silently said "it's okay" and turned around to observe the store carefully.

They waited for a quarter of an hour before seeing Sister Feng escorting two people out from the inner courtyard. After coming back, the worker walked up to her and whispered something, and then Sister Feng looked at them.

"Xu Xu." Sister Feng waved to Xu Xu: "Come, let's go in and talk."

Sister Feng brought Xu Xu and Xu Ziqing to the stone table in the inner courtyard: "You guys sit down, I just finished ordering the goods and I'm covered in dust. I'll go clean it up first."

"Sister Feng, go and do your thing first, we'll sit here for a while." Xu Xu replied.

Sister Feng nodded to Xu Ziqing and turned back to the backyard.

While looking at the layout of the courtyard, Xu Ziqing asked Xu Xu about the arrangement of the residence. She especially wanted to go to those large mansions to see what the residences of the ancient wealthy aristocrats looked like and how they lived.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, I saw Fengjie changing her clothes and coming over with a few cups of tea.

"This is the black plum drink I made this morning. It is the best for cooling off. Would you like to try it? How does it taste?"

"It's delicious." Xu Ziqing picked it up and took a sip. The sour and sweet taste was particularly to her taste.

This is a bit similar to the current sour plum soup, but the taste of sour plum soup is not as mellow as this black plum drink. Xu Ziqing took a deep breath and smelled the very rich black plum fragrance.

Take a sip, and your mouth will be filled with the fragrance of black plum accompanied by some indescribable medicinal fragrance. There is no sense of incongruity at all. After drinking it, you will feel that your whole mouth is filled with the aroma of black plum drink.

Seeing that her eyes were narrowed into slits due to drinking, Sister Feng smiled and said, "Xu Xu, what do you want to talk to me about today?"

"Yes." Xu Xu opened the bamboo basket on the table, revealing the egg cake inside: "Sister Feng, how about you try this cake?"

After a night, the smell was not as overbearing, but the moment she opened the bamboo basket, Fengjie still smelled a faint sweet scent.

She glanced at Xu Xu, reached out and took a small cake, took a look at it, it was very small and exquisite, just enough to eat one in one bite.

After eating the small one, he took a large one and broke it in half. After tasting it carefully, he looked at Xu Xu seriously and said, "It's delicious. I have never eaten this kind of cake before."

Xu Xu was a little nervous when he was looked at. He twisted his hands together for a while, took a deep breath and said, "This is called egg cake. It's a recipe I got by chance. I want to give this recipe to my second uncle to sell."

"That's great. Do you have any other ideas?" Sister Feng asked while eating.

Xu Xu nodded: "Our family has no power and no influence, and we can't keep the exclusive secret recipe. I want to sell it, but only to places outside Youzhou. Youzhou will be left to my second uncle to sell."

"Then who are you looking for?" Sister Feng looked at Xu Xu quietly.

Xu Xu felt embarrassed by being stared at, and lowered her head and continued, "I would like to ask Sister Feng to help me find a reliable buyer."

Sister Feng nodded: "Okay, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

"I don't know either. It depends on how much the buyer is willing to pay."

"Am I saying you are stupid or smart?" Sister Feng was convinced: "Okay, I'll ask for you. If there is any news, I'll ask someone to inform you. Keep these egg cakes."

"Thank you, Sister Feng." Xu Xu looked at Sister Feng with a bright smile.

Sister Feng waved her hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's go."

"Sister Feng, there's more." Xu Xu said embarrassedly.

"What else?"

Xu Xu pointed at the egg cake and smiled shyly, "To make this, you need to build a separate oven. My second uncle and my cousin tried for many days before they made it. Can you see if this can be sold separately as a recipe?"

"Are you trying to kill two birds with one stone?" Sister Feng laughed angrily: "Okay, I know, I will tell the buyer."

"Thank you, Sister Feng." Xu Xu thanked with a smile.

"Okay, let's go quickly. I have something else to do and I'm busy." Sister Feng said with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Feng Jie, Xu Xu took Xu Ziqing shopping.

I thought it would take at least a few days for Fengjie to help find a buyer, but the next afternoon she sent someone to notify Xu Xu to go to Jinxiu Pavilion the next morning.

This time Xu Ziqing went along again. She wanted Fengjie's recipe for the black plum drink, which she had been thinking about since she drank it last time.

Xu Xu was very helpless about this. Even though the medicine could be bought at ordinary pharmacies, Xu Ziqing insisted on asking Feng Jie for it.

Xu Ziqing felt that even though Wumei Drink was the most common summer heat-relief recipe in Dayun Dynasty, each family would make it differently. Each family would make appropriate adjustments based on their own tastes, and the one prepared by the medicine shop might not suit their taste.

As agreed, Xu Xu arrived at Jinxiu Pavilion ahead of time. Sister Feng led them into the inner courtyard, where they saw a middle-aged man sitting at the stone table.

Sister Feng introduced: "Shopkeeper Tan, this is my niece, Madam Xu, and this is my niece's friend who is also surnamed Xu. Xuxu, this is the head shopkeeper of Tan's Cake Shop in Youzhou Prefecture."

Xu Xu bowed and said, "Manager Tan."

Xu Ziqing also imitated Xu Xu and performed an improper salute.

Shopkeeper Tan gave her a false support: "Mrs. Xu, Miss Xu."

"Come, sit down, let's sit down and talk." Sister Feng called out.

After sitting down, Shopkeeper Tan looked at Xu Xu and said directly, "Madam Xu, I have tasted your egg cake, and it is indeed different from the cakes we made before. Shopkeeper Feng said that you want to sell the house, how do you plan to sell it?"

Xu Xu looked at Sister Feng helplessly: "I..."

"Manager Tan, we are so familiar with each other, so let's not talk nonsense." Sister Feng glared at Xu Xu and took over the topic: "My niece is raising four children by herself. Life is not easy. Give her a real price."

Shopkeeper Tan glanced at Xu Xu, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "I can decide to give you 500 taels. If Youzhou can also be sold, I can give you 800 taels."

Then he looked at Xu Xu and continued, "How about you give up Youzhou Prefecture, and I'll give you the entire Guoyue County, and I'll give you 800 taels. Anyway, your family is here, and you can't go to Youzhou for a while."

Xu Xu also knew that if her second uncle went to Youzhou to open a shop selling egg cakes, it would take at least three to five years. Although she knew this was the fact, she was reluctant to let him go, always hoping that her second uncle and his family would be able to leave Guoyue County one day.

Seeing Xu Xu's tangled expression, Xu Ziqing pulled her sleeve and whispered, "There are so many foods. We can go to Youzhou later to think of other recipes."

Thinking of the various foods in the short video, Xu Xu felt relieved: "Then do as Manager Tan said."

After saying that, he thought of the oven again: "Manager Tan, there is also the oven. My second uncle's family spent several days researching it. Can you see if we can buy the recipe together?"
