I trade in both worlds

After looking over the photos he had taken, Xu Ziqi felt that there was nothing wrong with them, so he sent them directly to his friend.

A few minutes later Xu Ziqi received a call from the other party.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ziqi said to Xu Xu: "My friend said that the price needs to be appraised first. He can't give the specific value now. I will send the copper coins to him now."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Ziqi picked up the car keys, walked to the door, thought for a moment, then came back and asked, "Xu Xu, do you want to go take a look together?"

Xu Xu shook his head and refused: "I won't go. I said I'll leave it to you, and I'll just collect the money."

Xu Ziqi felt very happy that he could gain the trust of the other party just after meeting him. He wrapped two copper coins in rags, put them in a plastic bag, and drove away in Xu Ziqing's car.

Xu Xu continued to go back to the utility room to make clothes, while Xu Ziqing took the computer to start learning how to edit videos. They also had to start preparing for their Hanfu business.

Make money, make money, work hard to make money.

Xu Ziqi still hadn't returned until after dinner that night.

Because he wanted to start an egg cake business, Xu Xu asked Xu Ziqing to help buy three pounds of egg cakes on the food delivery platform.

He left two for Xu Ziqing to make breakfast the next day, and Xu Xu planned to take the rest back to Xu Jizong's family to try.

Xu Xu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, the video of the production of the earthen oven kept flashing in her mind. She didn't know whether the earthen kiln of the porcelain kiln used iron bars, but even if not, they should have a solution.

Finally, she decided to show the blueprint to Xu Jizong and the others first. As an amateur, she couldn't solve the problem even if she didn't sleep for a night, so she should just rest and enjoy the view.

The next morning, Xu Xu and the children had rice soup and egg cake for breakfast.

After breakfast, I brought the leftover egg cake and a few children to Xu Jizong's house.

Xu Jizong's family was having breakfast in the yard, and Xu Xu put the egg cake in his hand on the table.

"What's in the basket?" Aunt Xu asked while eating.

"Egg cake." Xu Ziqing lifted the gauze on the basket: "Try it and see if it's feasible to sell it in the county town. If it's feasible, let my brother and Youyin make it and set up a stall in the county."

When Xu Youyin heard about the business, his eyes suddenly lit up. He took the egg cake on the table and gave one to everyone. Aunt Xu pinched the egg cake in her hand and smelled it. The fragrance was too tempting.

The surface of the egg cake looks brown, with a dozen sesame seeds scattered on it. It smells sweet and burnt, and looks delicious. It looks good, but I don’t know how it tastes.

"Wow, that's a good time."

Just as Aunt Xu was about to try the taste, she heard Niuniu's inarticulate exclamation. Aunt Xu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Niuniu, is it so delicious?"

"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Niu Niu nodded wildly while sitting on a small stool. Her little body swayed back and forth with excitement, and her two little feet also swayed up and down alternately. She was eating egg cake in her mouth and didn't bother to say a word.

When you take a bite, you can taste the crispy and delicate texture of the egg cake. The taste is rich and varied, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with distinct layers. It makes people want to take one bite after another and indulge in it.

Before she knew it, she had finished the egg cake. Aunt Xu picked up the porridge and took a sip: "This egg cake is delicious, but it's too dry. It's a bit choking."

Xu Youyin has already started showing off his second one: "It's just a sip of water, there's nothing to choke on."

Second Aunt Xu gave him a fierce look, then turned around and asked Xu Xu: "Xu Xu, is this easy to make?"

"I haven't tried it either." Xu Xu took out the blueprint of the earthen oven and handed it to Xu Youyin: "To make this egg cake, you need to make an oven first. Youyin, this is the blueprint and production steps of the oven. Take a look and see if you can make it?"

Xu Jizong looked at Xu Xu suspiciously: "Xu Xu, where did these things come from?"

He hadn't seen her take it out for so many years. Recently, it was potatoes, and now it's egg cakes, and they're baked in the oven. He was worried that Xu Xu was involved in something bad.

Xu Xu was stunned by the question. She thought about it carefully and realized that Xu Ziqing and his sister would definitely come here often in the future. As long as they wanted to go into the city, Xu Jizong would run into them sooner or later. She had to find a reasonable excuse.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Jizong continued, "Xu Xu, there is no such thing as a free lunch. People who give you these things may have some ulterior motives for you. You have several children to take care of, don't bring yourself trouble for a little profit."

Xu Xu thought about pushing everything onto her parents. They were gone anyway, so even if she wanted to verify it, she couldn't go to the palace.

After thinking it through, Xu Xu looked at him sincerely and said, "Second Uncle, I understand. I only found out about this some time ago."

"The person who gave me these things is an old friend of my parents. It is said that he has a very good relationship with my mother and used to serve the nobleman closely together."

"They have been in contact all these years, but they haven't been in contact since my mother passed away this year."

"They came to find me later and found out that my mother had passed away. They said that before she died, she had asked her to help take care of us siblings."

Xu Jizong still didn't relax and continued to ask: "Are you sure what they said is true?"

Xu Xu was afraid of being found out to be lying, so he lowered his head and said, "They have a letter written by my mother. I read it and it is indeed my mother's handwriting."

Anyway, they have no way to take the exam, so they might as well get through this first.

"It's OK as long as you can confirm it." Xu Jizong felt a little relieved: "You should also be more vigilant. It's better to be careful."

"I know." Xu Xu responded obediently.

Second Aunt Xu looked at Xu Jizong and asked, "Can this be done?"

Except for Xu Youliang who lowered his head, everyone else looked at him expectantly.

Looking at everyone's expectations, Xu Jizong pondered for a while and asked again: "Xuxu, are you sure it won't have any negative impact on you?"

"No." Xu Xu shook his head affirmatively.

"Do it." Xu Jizong said fiercely: "Since we have the opportunity, we must try it."

After getting a positive answer, everyone grinned, and even Xu Youliang began to look forward to it.

Xu Youyin, who had realized his wish, asked, "Sister, do these have to be made of iron?"

Hearing his words, Xu Xu looked at him with sparkling eyes: "No."

Xu Youyin felt uneasy when he was stared at: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You don't need to look at the materials, as long as the oven can meet the requirements. The style is not fixed, you can do it according to your ideas. Can you do it?" Xu Xu didn't want to care about his feelings at all, he just wanted to know if he could make it without the iron bars.

"That's not a big problem." If he could be allowed to do what he wanted, then what could be the problem? "I'll go borrow some bricks and try it out."
