I trade in both worlds

Following Liu Fu's order, the servants and escorts began to get busy.

Some of them carried wooden barrels, some carried wooden boxes, and some were responsible for stacking the goods in the warehouse.

Xu Ziqi also joined the unloading process. He, together with Liu Fu's servants and bodyguards, unloaded the goods into Liu's warehouse.

After unloading the goods, Liu Fu and Xu Ziqi began to count the goods.

They checked the quantity of wine barrel by barrel and the styles and quantity of wine glasses set by set.

After a careful inventory, they confirmed that the goods were intact and the quantity matched the list.

"Mr. Xu, the goods have been counted." Liu Fu said to Xu Ziqi, "Please go to the side hall and wait for a while. I will settle the balance with you."

Xu Ziqi nodded and followed a servant to the side hall.

After an incense stick of time, Liu Fu came over with a stack of silver bills and asked Xu Ziqi to count them.

Xu Ziqi took the banknote, counted it carefully, then frowned slightly and said, "General Manager Liu, my delivery was delayed for nine days. According to the contract, I have to deduct one tael of silver per day as liquidated damages."

Liu Fu was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you are really a principled person. But let it go this time, our master said you are a trustworthy person."

"You wouldn't have delayed delivery if you hadn't had to. Forget about the penalty this time. Just consider it as a token of our Liu family's appreciation."

Xu Ziqi was moved when he heard this: "Thank you so much!"

The two chatted for a few more minutes and agreed that the champagne would be delivered in early August, and then Xu Ziqi got up and said goodbye.

After leaving Liu's house, Xu Ziqi went directly to Rendetang. He had already agreed with the chief escort of the escort agency that after the next batch of goods arrived, Xu Ziqing would go to Hongbang Escort Agency to discuss the date of travel.

At that time, Hongbang Escort Agency will be fully authorized to deliver the goods to the capital, and Xu Ziqi will receive the goods directly in the capital.

The next day, Liu Yuan selected one hundred barrels of red wine and one hundred sets of wine glasses, carefully packed them, and sent them to the palace.

On May 1st, the capital city was full of spring. The sun shone through the sparse clouds and onto the bluestone pavement of Antique Street.

Today is the auspicious day for the opening of Xu Ziqing’s antique furniture store “Tang Feng Yayun”. The whole street seems to be more lively because of this festive atmosphere.

The day before, the flower baskets ordered by Xu Xu, Lin Feng, Shao Yuanyuan, Xu's parents, and grandparents were delivered to the store.

Xu Ziqing was wearing a light pink new Chinese-style Hanfu made by Xu Xu. Her hair was simply tied up, revealing her smooth forehead and gentle face.

She stood at the door of the store, looking at the carefully decorated shop in front of her, her heart filled with indescribable excitement and pride.

The sign on the eaves of the door was covered with red silk cloth, and in the flower baskets placed on both sides of the door, various colorful flowers competed for beauty, as if they were also celebrating this new store.

Inside the store, Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, Xu Jianjun and Chen Xiaofen were busy, wiping left and right, not missing a single detail.

Xu Jianjun looked up at the door from time to time, looking forward to the arrival of relatives and friends, while Chen Xiaofen carefully tidied every corner to ensure everything was perfect.

This was the first time Xu Xu drove to Beijing by himself. Apparently, he was not very familiar with the road conditions here. He drove around for a long time looking for a parking space and finally parked the car more than a hundred meters away from Antique Street.

She saw Xu Ziqing standing at the door of the store from a distance, walked up quickly, and called out loudly, "Sister Qing."

Xu Ziqing looked back and saw Xu Xu walking towards him quickly.

"Xuxu, you're here!" Xu Ziqing responded with a smile.

Xu Xu walked up to her, took out a red envelope and handed it to her: "Sister Qing, congratulations on your grand opening. I hope your business will be prosperous and profitable."

Xu Ziqing took the red envelope and said with a smile: "Thank you Xuxu, I received your blessing. Come on, I'll take you to the store to have a look."

The two walked into the store together, and Xu Ziqing began to introduce them to Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, Xu Jianjun and Chen Xiaofen.

"Grandpa and grandma, mom and dad, this is my good friend Xu Xu." Xu Ziqing introduced.

"Hello, Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu." Xu Xu smiled shyly.

Grandpa Xu walked forward with a smile and said, "Oh, Xu Xu, you are so pretty. Thank you for coming to support our Xiaoqing."

Grandma Xu also came forward and looked at Xu Xu lovingly: "Look at this girl, how blessed she is. Come often in the future, and grandma will make delicious food for you."

Xu Jianjun and Chen Xiaofen smiled and nodded, their eyes full of love and welcome for Xu Xu.

Xu Xu was infected by the enthusiasm of this family, and a warm current surged in her heart. She smiled and responded: "Thank you grandpa and grandma, thank you uncle and aunt, I will come often."

After the greetings, Xu Ziqing took Xu Xu to visit the store.

As the opening ceremony was about to begin, Xu Ziqing and Xu Xu returned to the store entrance, where many friends, relatives and neighbors had gathered to congratulate them.

Suddenly, there was a lively sound of gongs and drums, attracting everyone's attention.

A group of lion dancers in colorful costumes slowly walked in, led by none other than Raymond Lam. He was smiling, holding a lion head, and dancing flexibly to the rhythm of gongs and drums.

The lion dance team began their performance, jumping, rolling, and playing, each movement full of power and beauty.

The people around were infected by the festive atmosphere and applauded and cheered.

The whole store is surrounded by a festive atmosphere, as if even the air is full of vitality.

After the performance, Raymond Lam walked over to Xu Ziqing and whispered, "Xiaoqing, this is a special surprise I prepared for you. I hope that 'Tang Feng Ya Yun' can be as vibrant and profitable as this lion dance."

Zi Qing was surprised and touched, and said with a smile: "Lin Feng, thank you, it's great to have you by my side."

"Okay, let's start." Lin Feng urged.

Xu Ziqing walked to the sign covered with red silk cloth and took a deep breath: "Dear friends, relatives, neighbors, thank you all for coming to the opening ceremony of 'Tang Feng Ya Yun' today."

Xu Ziqing said loudly, "I hope that through this store, more people will understand and love our traditional culture. Now, please witness this moment - 'Tang Feng Ya Yun' is officially opened."

After saying that, Xu Ziqing suddenly pulled the red silk cloth, and the four big characters "Tang Style and Elegant Charm" on the sign came into view.

These four words are vigorous and powerful, as if they contain endless cultural heritage.

Applause and cheers suddenly rang out, and everyone congratulated Xu Ziqing. Xu Ziqing smiled and thanked everyone.

After the opening ceremony, Xu Ziqing invited all his relatives, friends, neighbors and shop owners to visit the store.

Inside the store, various antique furniture was neatly arranged. Customers were amazed, some carefully observing them, and some taking photos as souvenirs.
