I trade in both worlds

The air was filled with a faint woody scent, intertwined with people's laughter and joy, making the scene extremely lively.

After lunch, the guests left one after another. Xu Ziqing and Lin Feng stood at the door, seeing them off one by one.

After seeing off the last customer, Xu Ziqing and Lin Feng smiled at each other and turned back to the store. Only Xu Ziqing, Lin Feng, and the elders of the Xu family were left in the store.

Lin Feng followed behind Xu Ziqing, feeling a little nervous.

This was the first time he formally met Xu Ziqing's parents. Although he had some understanding of the Xu family through Xu Ziqi before, he still felt an inexplicable pressure when he actually faced them.

He secretly glanced at Xu Ziqing and saw that she was calm and composed with a faint smile on her face, and she didn't seem nervous at all.

This gave him some courage, and he took a deep breath and tried to relax himself.

Xu Ziqing stopped, turned around, and said to the elders of the Xu family: "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, this is Lin Feng, my boyfriend."

Lin Feng hurried forward and bowed respectfully: "Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, Uncle, Auntie, hello."

His eyes showed respect for his elders, but also a hint of subtle nervousness.

The elders of the Xu family were obviously shocked by this sudden news, and their faces showed expressions of surprise and curiosity.

Grandpa Xu narrowed his eyes and looked Lin Feng up and down, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

Grandma Xu had a kind face, her eyes revealed a bit of scrutiny, but more of it was love and trust for her granddaughter.

Xu Jianjun frowned slightly, as if he was quickly evaluating the young man in front of him.

Chen Xiaofen folded her hands in front of her chest, her eyes showing both surprise and a bit of worry.

"Oh, Xiaoqing, you did a great job keeping the secret." Grandma Xu was the first to break the silence.

She walked towards Lin Feng with a smile and patted the back of his hand gently: "You are so handsome, tell grandma how you two met?"

Lin Feng was touched by Grandma Xu's kindness, and his nervousness eased a little: "In fact, we got to know each other again in a traffic accident."

"That day, Xiaoqing accidentally rear-ended my car while driving Ziqi's car. As a result, when I was dealing with the accident, I heard Xiaoqing calling Ziqi, and then I found out that she was my good brother Ziqi's sister."

Grandpa Xu nodded when he heard this, his eyes revealing some approval: "Girl, you two are really destined to meet. I didn't expect that a small traffic accident would lead to the two of you meeting each other."

Xu Jianjun patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Since you are Ziqi's friend and you are together with Ziqing, then get along well with each other."

Lin Feng nodded seriously: "Uncle and aunt, rest assured, I will take good care of Ziqing and will not let her suffer any grievances."

Xu's mother Chen Xiaofen interrupted with a smile: "Okay, okay, stop standing and talking, sit down. Lin Feng, try the tea that Auntie made and see if it suits your taste."

Everyone sat around the tea table, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

Xu Ziqing poured tea for everyone, then sat next to Lin Feng and whispered in his ear: "Don't be nervous, they all like you very much."

Lin Feng smiled, and the tension in his heart was indeed relieved a lot.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then praised: "The tea made by Auntie is really delicious, with a mellow taste and a long aftertaste."

Hearing this, Xu's mother smiled from ear to ear: "If it tastes good, drink more. Come to our house often to drink."

Xu Jianjun sat aside. Although he didn't say much, it could be seen from his gradually relaxed expression that his first impression of Lin Feng was quite good.

Chen Xiaofen, on the other hand, held Raymond Lam's hand and asked him about his family situation, work and future plans. Her maternal care was evident in her words.

Lin Feng patiently answered the questions one by one. His sincerity and humility made the Xu family feel at ease. As the conversation deepened, the originally slightly awkward atmosphere gradually became warm and harmonious.

As we chatted, time passed unconsciously.

Grandma Xu looked at the wall clock and said, "Oh, it's so late, Xiaoqing, what time do you close?"

Hearing this, Xu Ziqing looked at his phone and the time on the screen showed that it was almost six o'clock.

She stood up, stretched, and said, "We can close the shop now. There won't be any customers this late."

"Then let's close the door and go eat." Grandpa Xu also stood up.

Chen Xiaofen put away the tea set and washed it in the backyard, while Xu Jianjun, Xu's father, and Lin Feng helped to clean up.

While he was tidying up the tables and chairs, he chatted with Raymond Lam. He found that Raymond Lam was not only handsome, but also well-mannered in his speech and behavior.

Ten minutes later, the group walked towards a nearby restaurant.

The restaurant was not far from the teahouse, and it only took a few minutes to walk there. They chose a seat by the window and had a panoramic view of the night view outside the window.

In the restaurant, they ordered a sumptuous meal, including fish, meat, vegetables, soup, and Xu Ziqing's favorite braised pork.

Grandma Xu kept picking up food for Lin Feng and said with a smile, "Eat more, Lin Feng, you look so thin. This braised pork is Xiaoqing's favorite, you should try it too."

Lin Feng responded with a smile: "Thank you grandma, I will eat more."

Lin Feng took the braised pork from Grandma Xu with a smile, took a bite, and praised: "It's delicious, thank you grandma."

He turned to look at Xu Ziqing and found that she was looking at him with a smile, so he smiled back.

On the tenth day of May, the morning light in the sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the Liu Mansion Restaurant on the Imperial Street in the capital was already bustling with activity, with a buzz of voices, like a pot of boiling water about to boil.

The line stretched like a long dragon, extending from the restaurant entrance to the street corner, and even turned several corners.

All the noble families, whether they were elderly masters and mistresses or young princes and princesses, sent their servants, and some even went out personally, just to buy up the legendary red wine from the country of Rossos.

The restaurant was filled with bamboo baskets of various sizes, each containing four barrels of red wine. Near the restaurant counter were wooden boxes containing wine glasses.

There is a faint aroma of wine in the air, which is intoxicating.

Xu Ziqi was invited to be a technical consultant, and Liu Fu hoped that he could perform the wine tasting routine again in the restaurant.

He stood at the door of the restaurant, looking at the scene in front of him, with a hint of confusion and surprise between his brows.

He never thought that red wine could cause such a sensation. Is this red wine really so attractive? Or is it just a psychological effect of people's pursuit of novelty and admiration for foreign goods?

Liu Fu, the chief steward of the Liu Mansion, was also very busy, and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
