It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

The jelly on Song Zhi's stall was quickly sold out, and those customers who came a little later naturally left with nothing.

A customer complained, "Why didn't you prepare more jelly? Are you doing this on purpose to make us anxious because we can't buy any?"

I swear to God, Song Zhi has no intention of engaging in hunger marketing.

She said with a smile on her face, "I'm really sorry, but we have limited manpower at home. To make these jelly, the elders in the family have to get up at 3:00 AM every day to prepare them."

"If you can't wait, why not go to the kebab stall next door? They also sell jelly, or try some other food at the market?"

Since Song Zhi had said this, the other party had nothing to say.

Some customers who were eager to try something new went to the kebab stall next door, while others went directly to the grass market.

Song Zhi's actions also led to a significant improvement in the business of food vendors in Caoshi.

Zhou Yu, who had been watching this side, saw everything, which made him more determined in his previous thoughts.

After Song Zhi led her younger brother and sister-in-law to pack up their things, they walked out of Caoshi.

As soon as they reached the exit of the market, the three siblings were stopped by the guards on duty at the market. "Madam Song, my master wants to see you."

Song Zhi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that someone was targeting her jelly business?

She suppressed her momentary panic and quickly calmed down. "Could you please tell me, officer? Who is this gentleman?"

"It's the county magistrate."

Song Zhi was stunned. She couldn't imagine what the county magistrate wanted to see her about.

But her heart finally settled back into her stomach.

In the past few days, she had observed the actions of the county magistrate and believed that he was a man who worked for the people, so he would not make things difficult for her.

Just when she was about to ask the other party to lead the way, Li Wen hurried over from the teahouse across the street.

Li Wen nodded to the gatekeeper and walked forward, saying, "Madam, please follow me. My master is in the teahouse across the street."

Song Zhi knew this man and had dealt with him twice.

She nodded slightly and followed behind with her somewhat nervous brother and sister-in-law.

In front of a window on the second floor of the teahouse, Xu Feng saw this scene. He held the cup in his hand for a long time without moving. After thinking for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that I still need to build a good relationship with Ms. Song.

Song Zhi followed Li Wen and went up to the private room on the second floor.

Knock, knock, knock three times.

A calm and magnetic male voice came from inside the door, "Come in."

The door of the box was gently pushed open, making a slight "creaking" sound.

When Song Zhi stepped into the room, she immediately saw the young man standing quietly in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

He was wearing a navy blue robe, with a handsome face, broad eyebrows, clear features and a high nose bridge, which made him look extraordinary.

When I first met him, I thought he was just a handsome young man, but when I met his upright and calm eyes, I felt a sense of majesty without even being angry.

Song Zhi restrained her scrutiny, lowered her brows, knelt down, and bowed, "I am a humble woman, greeting the county magistrate."

She knew that she couldn't underestimate the children raised by such aristocratic family, and she had to act stupid when it was necessary.

Zhou Yu saw the other person's tense nerves, as well as the two children following behind her who didn't dare to look up.

He smiled warmly and said, "Madam Song, please take a seat first."

Song Zhi pretended to be frightened, rubbing the corner of her clothes and said, "Sir... Sir, I'll just stand there."

Zhou Yu didn't force her and went straight to the point, "It's like this. I just saw the market here. Whether it's the stalls or the number of customers, the liveliness here is better than the other two markets."

"I see your jelly is good, and it's a fresh delicacy. The people in the county also like it. How about this, you set up a stall in each of the two markets in the east and west of the city."

"It won't take long, just half a month or so. It will bring some popularity to the two markets. What do you think, Madam Song?"

Song Zhi was thinking in her heart, if this was the prescription the other party wanted, should she give it to him or not?

But I didn't expect Zhou Yu to make such a request.

This was considered a good thing for her. She carefully considered her words and said, "Since Your Excellency has invited me, I have no problem doing so. It's just that my family is a little short of manpower right now. I beg Your Excellency to give me a few days to settle the manpower problem before setting up a stall in the two markets."

Seeing her agree, Zhou Yu nodded and said, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask Officer Li for help."

After hearing this, Li Wen clasped his fists and replied, "Yes."

He then introduced himself to Song Zhi and stepped back.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhou Yu took his men away first.

As soon as the people left, the two little ones who had been so nervous just now suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Song An tilted his head and asked, "Sister, are we really going to set up stalls in the other two cities?"

Song Zhi nodded, "Since I promised the county magistrate, of course I want it."

Song An suddenly thought of something and said in an excited tone, "Does that mean Big Brother can come back?"

Song Zhi smiled and rubbed the little guy's head, "Yes! Let's go back and tell grandma."

Song An was very happy. Song Zhi smiled as she looked at him. "Then let's go."

"Don't worry, I still have to go see the merchant from yesterday." After saying that, she came out of the box and saw Uncle Rong waiting at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

The other party nodded towards where Song Zhi was standing, made a gesture of invitation, and indicated that their young master was in the side room.

Song Zhi was not surprised that the other party discovered her. After all, Caoshi was so small and she had made an appointment with the other party yesterday.

It is not surprising that the other party caught her meeting the county magistrate.

As soon as Song Zhi entered the room, she apologized a little, "I'm sorry for keeping Mr. Xu waiting. A distinguished guest just invited me, and I couldn't refuse. That's why I'm late."

Just now, Song Zhi followed the police upstairs and met someone. As a businessman, he was quite perceptive.

He invited Song Zhi to sit down first, then personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Song Zhi, "It's okay, Madam Song, did you bring the medicinal tea today?"

"Of course I brought it. Please wait a moment!" After that, he took out a small pottery jar from the basket at hand and handed it to him. "Try it, young master. Do you like it?"

He took the small clay pot and gently opened the lid. A light and elegant tea fragrance immediately wafted out, refreshing him.

Xu Feng was satisfied, and immediately picked up some medicinal tea, put it into the teacup, and then slowly brewed it with boiling water.

The brewed tea was clear and bright with a hint of green. He took a sip and found it mellow, sweet and refreshing.

This tea not only tastes great, but also seems to have the effect of clearing the mind, improving eyesight, and refreshing the brain. Xu Feng took a few sips and felt quite satisfied.

He put down the teacup and asked, "Madam Song said this is medicinal tea?"
