A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off

Ji Qingqing, of course, was unaware of Sun Taohua's thoughts. The days passed in this way, and two more days went by.

That day, Song Zidong returned from town and found Song Zhili. "Little sister, several days have passed, and there's still no news from Manager Xu. I went to the restaurant today, but I didn't see him either. Do you think he doesn't want to buy our fish anymore? Should we continue to buy those fish?"

Song Zidong thought that everyone had been catching fish by the river these past few days, and there were already many fish in their pond. If they only made fish balls every day, there would be more than enough fish.

He was very worried that if there were too many fish, they wouldn't be able to get out.

Song Zhili remained calm. "Brother, it's alright. We can continue to buy those fish. Even if Manager Xu doesn't buy them anymore, we can still use them to make fish balls. When we have enough money, I plan to go to the county town and open a fish ball shop."

These past few days, whenever Song Zidong went to town, he would bring some extra fish balls with him, because several customers who had bought fish balls before found him again and wanted to buy more.

"Open a shop in the county town? Shops in the county town must be very expensive! Little sister, how could we possibly have that much money to open a shop in the county town, and the county town is so far away."

Song Zidong thought Song Zhili's idea was a pipe dream, and he didn't believe they could open a shop in the county town at all.

Song Zhili didn't argue with him much, after all, it was still early to discuss this matter. They could talk about it later when they were able to do it. It was a bit strange that Manager Xu hadn't been heard from for several days. Even if he went to the county town, it would take at most three days to go back and forth.

Three days have passed, and Manager Xu still hasn't returned. He must be delayed by something.

Song Zhili was lost in thought when Song Zidong shook her arm violently. She turned her head to look at Song Zidong in confusion.

"Little sister, look! Isn't that Manager Xu's carriage?"

Song Zidong pointed to a carriage approaching from not far away and said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhili looked in the direction Song Zidong was pointing and indeed saw a carriage slowly approaching from not far away.

The carriage came to a steady stop in front of their house, and Manager Xu got off.

Song Zhili and Song Zidong hurriedly stepped forward and called out in unison.

"Shopkeeper Xu."

Shopkeeper Xu nodded to the two of them. "Miss Song, let's talk in your courtyard."

Song Zhili nodded and, together with Song Zidong, respectfully invited Manager Xu into their home. She then asked Manager Xu to sit in the courtyard for a while while she went to the kitchen to brew him a cup of Tieguanyin tea.

Seeing that Manager Xu didn't seem troubled, she assumed that his employer had agreed to the terms she had discussed. With that in mind, she took out a cup of Tieguanyin tea from her spatial storage and brewed it.

"Manager Xu, please try this tea. I bought it by chance in town a few days ago, and I think it tastes pretty good."

As Song Zhili spoke, she placed the brewed Tieguanyin tea in front of him, then sat down opposite him, while Song Zidong stood nervously beside her.

Manager Xu hadn't expected Song Zhili to bring out any good tea. He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and was immediately surprised by the taste. He couldn't help but take another big sip.

He then put down his teacup, smiled, and took out two agreements from his pocket. "Miss Song, I've already told my boss about the suggestion you made to me earlier. Our boss has agreed to your suggestion, and from now on, our Jixiang Restaurant will buy fish from you."

As for that chili pepper you mentioned, our boss also said that if you can really grow it, you can only cooperate with our restaurant and are not allowed to sell it to other places.

"Miss Song, this is the agreement our employer has drafted. Please take a look. If there's anything wrong or you're not satisfied with, please let us know and we'll revise it."

Song Zhili picked up the agreement on the table and looked at it carefully. She saw that there were no other requirements mentioned on it. The only requirement was that their fish and chili peppers should be given priority to Jixiang Restaurant.

"Manager Xu, I have no objection. Please wait here for a while and have some tea. I'll go get the pen."

After finishing her sentence, Song Zhili turned around and went into Song Ziyuan's room. She took out a brush and an inkstone and came out, then signed her name on both agreements.

Seeing that Song Zhili had already signed all the agreements, Manager Xu took out one of the agreements and placed it in front of Song Zhili.

"Miss Song, please keep this agreement safe. I'll be leaving now since I have nothing else to do. By the way, Miss Song, are your fish balls also made of fish? Our boss said that we might need to send some of those fish balls to the county town in the future. We'll send someone to deliver them then. The price of those fish balls also needs to be adjusted so that you won't suffer any losses."

"And this is what my employer asked me to give you. If you ever have the chance to come to the county town in the future, just show this to the Jixiang Restaurant and you won't be charged."

As he spoke, Manager Xu took out a wooden waist tag from his pocket, on which were engraved the words "auspicious".

Upon hearing Manager Xu's words, Song Zhili respectfully accepted the wooden waist tag with both hands, and then took out the fish ball agreement she had previously signed with Manager Xu from her bosom.

"Manager Xu, this is the agreement for the fish balls from before. How much do you plan to adjust the price of the fish balls?"

"Let's set it at fifteen coins per pound."

Without a second thought, Manager Xu blurted out the price, which he had agreed upon with his employer in the county town.

Song Zhili nodded, made some changes to the previous agreement, showed it to Manager Xu, and then put it away.

Manager Xu didn't stay long. After finishing the remaining tea in his cup, he left in his carriage. Before leaving, he asked Song Zhili where she had bought the tea.

Song Zhili had no choice but to make up a random excuse to get away with it.

When she turned back into the courtyard, she saw Song Zidong standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Just then, Ji Qingqing came out of the house and saw Song Zidong standing in the yard in a daze. She went up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and called his name twice.

After a while, Song Zidong came to his senses, put his arms around Ji Qingqing's waist and picked her up, then walked around the yard.

This terrified Ji Qingqing, and everyone in the courtyard turned their attention to the two of them.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Song Zidong's strange behavior, Hu Cuicui asked in confusion.

Song Zidong first put Ji Qingqing down, then looked at Hu Cuicui somewhat embarrassedly and chuckled twice.

"It's nothing, Mom. I'm just too happy, hehe."
