I trade in both worlds

After the two of them had discussed it, Xu Ziqing and Xu Xu sat together, head to head, around a mobile phone, browsing pictures and information of various products.

"Sister Qing, what do you think of this glass teapot? It's a perfect size and the style is pretty nice." Xu Xu asked, pointing at the glass teapot on the screen.

Xu Ziqing leaned closer to the screen, took a closer look, and nodded: "Well, not bad, let's add it to the shopping cart first. Let's select a few more teapots of different sizes and styles, put them in the shopping cart together, and then make another selection."

So, the two began to select glass teapots of various sizes online, large enough for multiple people to drink tea, and small enough for individual tea tasting.

They also deliberately chose those styles that are simple yet elegant in design, and I believe they will definitely attract a lot of people's attention in Dayunchao.

"As for the mirror, I think it's better to choose a half-length mirror. This way it can reflect the upper body of a person, but it's not too big and easy to carry." Xu Xu suggested.

"This is a good idea. Half-length mirrors should be very popular. If we choose a few more and put them together, we should be able to save a lot of space." Xu Ziqing agreed.

Finally, they selected ten half-length mirrors online, making sure each one had a wooden frame and a clear mirror.

As for white pepper, the two decided to buy it directly from the vegetable market.

After selecting the products, the two began to place orders and waited for the courier to arrive.

While waiting, Xu Xu was not idle. She first went to the clan leader's house and asked Xu Jianli to buy a few sturdy wooden boxes to pack the goods.

As the express parcels arrived one by one, Xu Xu and Xu Ziqing started to get busy again.

Xu Xu had taken down the unused old quilts at home a few days ago and used old quilt covers to sew them into the size of a teapot so that they would be easier to pack.

The mirror is wrapped in a thin quilt piece by piece in the shape of a Chinese character "回".

"This big box can hold four sets of teapots. You can put some straw in the gaps." Xu Ziqing said as he packed.

"Okay, put the mirrors in these boxes. Two boxes with eight sides each, and one small box with four sides. That should be just right." Xu Xu responded.

"What about the pepper? Where should we put it?" Xu Ziqing asked.

“Just stuff it into the gaps between the boxes.” Xu Xu suggested.

They wrapped the glass teapot and mirror in quilts and put them into wooden boxes together with the peppercorns. Each box was filled to the brim but in order.

After everything was ready, the two looked at the eight wooden boxes in front of them, as if they saw eight boxes of silver.

A week later, Xu Ziqi came back with his luggage.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the eight wooden boxes and was stunned.

"Xiaoqing, are you taking all your wardrobe with you?" Xu Ziqi asked jokingly.

Xu Ziqing smiled and shook her head: "Ah, it's not clothes, my things are in another box." After that, she pointed to a big box in the corner.

Xu Ziqi walked over curiously, opened the big box and took a look. It indeed contained Xu Ziqing’s clothes and some daily necessities.

But he still didn't understand what was in the eight wooden boxes.

"Then what are these? Do we need to take them with us on the road?" Xu Ziqi asked.

Xu Ziqing was stunned for a moment before he realized that he hadn't told him about this yet: "Ah, didn't I tell you? These are the things we are going to take to ancient times to sell."

"Sell it to ancient times?" Xu Ziqi asked in surprise.

At this time, Xu Xu came over and explained, "I want to transport some glass tea sets, mirrors, and pepper to the capital to sell. These things are very common in modern times, but they were rare treasures in ancient times."

After hearing this, Xu Ziqi thought that if the twins entered a private school and wanted to take the imperial examination in the future, it would be a bottomless pit.

"How are you going to sell it?" Xu Ziqi asked

Xu Xu and Xu Ziqing looked at each other, they hadn't thought about this issue yet. They just thought that these were rare things in ancient times, so they should be easy to sell and could be sold at a high price.

"We can sell it to Chief Steward Liu." Xu Xu suddenly said.

"Good idea." Xu Ziqing immediately agreed.

Chief Steward Liu had said that if they had anything rare, they could contact him, and that the Liu family was financially strong and fully capable of contracting this batch of goods.

Xu Ziqi nodded: "Okay, just make up your mind. I'll go to the escort agency tomorrow to hire an escort. You guys pack everything you need to bring."

Xu Xu suddenly asked, "Do you want to order a few boxes of Snow Mei Niang so that you can give them as gifts when you go to Liu's house?"

Since we are going to Liu's house, we can't go empty-handed. We should prepare some pastries that are not available in the capital, so that we can show our sincerity.

"Why not buy a few borosilicate glass cups with lids to separate tea and water? They'll be both decent and good-looking when you give them as gifts," Xu Ziqing suggested.

"Then buy both." Xu Ziqi said, "Gifts are not given in odd numbers, so prepare a box of Snow Mei Niang and a glass, which is exactly two. It's more decent and better looking."

After saying that, he paused and continued, "Order a few more boxes of Snow Mei Niang and Egg Yolk Cake when you buy them. I will also need them when I visit Dr. He's friends."

Xu Ziqi had originally planned to buy two boxes of pastries from a famous pastry shop in Beijing when he visited, but since he was going to buy them now, he might as well take them all at once to save trouble.

After hearing this, Xu Ziqing simply went online and bought another 25 glass cups. He also placed an order for 10 boxes of Snow Meringue and 5 boxes of Egg Yolk Cakes at the same store where he bought cakes during the Chinese New Year.

When Xu Xu saw that so many things had been added, he and Xu Ziqing recorded the sizes and hurried to the clan leader's house to find Xu Jianli to order twenty-five small boxes and three large boxes.

The next morning, Xu Ziqi arrived at the door of Hongbang Escort Agency.

The door of the escort agency was wide open, and the sound of horses neighing and escorts chatting and laughing could be heard from inside, making the place seem very lively.

When Xu Ziqi walked into the escort agency, a steward in a green robe came up to him and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, long time no see."

Xu Ziqi raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised. The last time he came here was more than half a year ago. After such a long time, the manager actually still remembered him.

He smiled and responded, "Manager Chen, long time no see, how are you doing?"

Manager Chen laughed and said, "TOEFL, TOEFL, everything is fine. Mr. Xu, are you here to deliver any goods that need to be escorted?"

Xu Ziqi nodded and said, "That's right. My sister and I are going to the capital this time, and we have eight boxes of goods that need to be transported to the capital. I would like to ask your escort agency to help escort them."

Upon hearing this, Manager Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Xu. Our escort agency will do its best to ensure that your goods arrive safely in the capital. Come, I will take you to see our chief escort."

Under the leadership of Manager Chen, Xu Ziqi came to the meeting hall of the escort agency.
