Qingyu was smart and quickly came to her senses.

Take out the snacks and mugwort balls from the basket, place them on the table, and open the leaf package.

Shopkeeper Xu stared at him intently, and seeing how careful he was, he felt a little more expectant.

"Oh my~ Let's not talk about the taste, just look at the shape of this pastry. If it weren't for ten or eight years of experience, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible to make it this exquisite."

It has to be said that a good appearance can catch people's eyes.

"This color is also good, it is pleasing to the eye."

There are four colors and two flavors of Artemisia balls.

"Shopkeeper Xu, please try it." Qingyu quickly handed one to the shopkeeper for him to taste.

Shopkeeper Xu took it and took a bite. Although the cold Artemisia ball was not that sticky, it did not affect the taste at all, and it even highlighted the fragrance of Artemisia.

"What's added to this? It seems to have a fragrant taste."

He had broadened his horizons today, and Shopkeeper Xu was conquered again.

"This is a mugwort ball, a kind of food made with mugwort. This pattern was made by my eldest sister, she is very skillful."

When Qing Ning talked about her elder sister, her face was full of pride and satisfaction. Her elder sister is so great.

"How are you going to sell this?"

Shopkeeper Xu felt that the child was adorable, so he asked directly without any idle talk.

"This mugwort is a seasonal product and is only sold for one season. People also call it 'mud', which is the same as 'good son', meaning that the family will have descendants with good fortune and success."

"Oh? Where do I begin?"

Several people were also curious, is there such a saying?

“It exists naturally”

Qing Ning told them the story she had heard before.

"It is said that there was a farmer in the past who was very smart and hardworking. However, due to his poor family background, he did not have the opportunity to attend a formal private school."

"But he didn't give up. Instead, he used his spare time during farming or when he was herding sheep to secretly squat outside the school gate and listen to the private school teacher's lectures."

"I would often bring wild dates and other food I picked from the fields to the students at the academy, and I would have the opportunity to go to the students' homes to look through books and study together."

"It is precisely because he is smart, studious, and not afraid of hardship that he makes rapid progress."

"Once, when the teacher was ill and unable to teach, he volunteered to teach the children on his behalf."

"His lectures were not only lively and interesting but also rich in knowledge. He soon impressed the children and villagers. His reputation spread far and wide, even noticing the county magistrate."

"The county magistrate summoned him and examined his knowledge. He thought he would easily pass the examination and immediately recommended him to take the exam that year. He lived up to his expectations and achieved a high score."

"After returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he had a dream that night. In his dream, his ancestors told him, 'My son, your success and fame are the blessings of the immortals. Don't touch the wormwood on the ancestral grave. This is a good thing we prayed for to bless future generations.'"

"The next day he went to his ancestral grave and saw that it was indeed covered with this kind of wormwood. Not only the ancestral grave, but also the roof of his house was covered with it."

"So people use this wormwood as a symbol of hope, hoping for good luck and success."

After saying that, Qingning took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. She did not miss the surprised expression on Shopkeeper Xu's face.

She said this because she knew that there was a private school next door, and no matter what time it was, the highest expectation of students from studying was to achieve success and fame. People would be willing to spend money on things with good meaning, no matter how insignificant they were.

"Okay, okay~ Hahaha, Brother Yu Qi, you really brought me the God of Wealth today!"

Shopkeeper Xu understood the meaning of this and looked at Yu Qi as if he was closer than a brother.

Not to mention Shopkeeper Xu, Yu Qi was more surprised than happy, thinking, "The Chen family must be poor and uneducated. How did this little kid know this?"

The two brothers listened with great interest, thinking that their sister was the best.

"Girl, how do you plan to sell it?" Shopkeeper Xu looked at Qingning with a smile.

"Five cents a piece."

As soon as Qing Ning said this, Qing Song and Qing Yu both gasped. "Is this too expensive? Would Shopkeeper Xu agree?"

The two of them suppressed their excitement and anxiety in their hearts, said nothing, and just waited anxiously for the result.

"Okay~ How long can you make this snack?" Shopkeeper Xu agreed without thinking.

"It can't last long, and it won't keep well after a while, so I stopped making it half a month after Qingming Festival."

Qing Ning thought about the season and continued, "This can be supplied daily. The amount required is determined by your restaurant. Just inform us one day in advance."

"Okay, how about we sign a new contract for this?"

"Can"

Shopkeeper Xu asked the waiter to bring paper and pen, wrote the contract according to Qingning's request, and read it to Qingning again. When there was no problem, Shopkeeper Xu stamped the official seal and signed his name.

When it was Qingning's turn, she was in a dilemma. The child was only five years old and it was not easy for her to sign the contract. Even if she signed it, it would be invalid.

"Who will sign this for you, girl? Maybe an adult from your family will come over?"

I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, it's just that the baby is too small and it's not suitable.

Qing Ning also knew that she was too young to sign the contract, but fortunately she was prepared and took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper opened it and saw that it was a power of attorney, which stated the relationship between Chen Changjiang and Chen Qingning, as well as detailed information such as their registered residence.

It also reads, "The contract is signed, Chen Qingning is responsible, and his family fully agrees. Any problems will be borne by his father, Chen Changjiang. There is also a handprint on it."

This made the shopkeeper very happy. He looked at the power of attorney in his hand with admiration, then looked at Qing Ning and the others, and then at Yu Qi.

"This is incredible! My father is responsible, and you guys are also courageous and respect the rules. This is so rare, so rare!"

Shopkeeper Xu felt satisfied and comfortable with today's business talks, and there were also many surprises.

"If you have anything from now on, just send it directly to me, no matter what it is."

The shopkeeper's words made the few people happy. They never thought they would receive such treatment.

Immediately, Yu Qi took the initiative to act as a guarantor, and the three parties signed and sealed the agreement.

He also asked the accountant to pay the deposit of silver, which, together with the sales today, totaled thirty taels and four hundred coins.

The three siblings looked at so much money and smiled so hard that their teeth were showing.

My hands were shaking so badly that I quickly wrapped it in several layers of cloth and placed Qingsong close to my body.

Qingsong put the silver and money in his arms, holding it tightly with both hands.

【This is a huge fortune! 】

I had never seen so much money before, and I was so nervous that everyone looked like a bad person to me.

Both the buyer and the seller were very satisfied with this. Qing Ning then gave the Chinese toon, wild celery and pickled bamboo shoots to the shopkeeper, asking him to try them and not to be disgusted.

Thinking that they might have a lot of cooperation in the future, she generously gave three recipes to the restaurant.

This made Shopkeeper Xu's eyebrows curved with laughter, and he refused to ask for the recipe for free.

Who wouldn't keep a recipe? It's worth a lot of money. He asked the accountant to take three taels of silver, half as a favor and half as a gift.

Qing Ning originally refused to accept it, which was nothing, but Shopkeeper Xu insisted on giving it to her, and Uncle Yu Qi asked her to keep it before she accepted it.

For this reason, Qing Ning felt that she could not let the shopkeeper suffer any loss. Seeing that there was a stage in the courtyard, she thought that there was a troupe performing there.

It is suggested that the shopkeeper hire a storyteller to spread the story of Haotuan as an advertisement.

When Manager Xu heard this, he thought it was a great idea and politely invited everyone to have dinner. However, several people politely declined and said goodbye.

Shopkeeper Xu kept smiling as he walked out of the restaurant. The waiters in the restaurant looked at the shopkeeper standing at the door of the restaurant, and they were still staring at him foolishly even after everyone had gone far away.

He stepped forward and reminded: "Boss, the person has gone far away."

Shopkeeper Xu came back to his senses and walked into the restaurant with a smile on his face, and went straight to the kitchen to discuss new dishes with the chef.

Following Qing Ning's suggestion, they arranged a food tasting and then went to see a storyteller, keeping them very busy.

I was in a very good mood and even smiled when my friend did something wrong.
