Soon, the waiter brought the banknotes and handed them to Li Yun, who took the thick stack of banknotes.

"Uncle Wu, I don't want the banknotes. Can you help me change them into silver?" Li Yun thought of putting the silver into the shopping website.

Shopkeeper Wu didn't understand why Li Yun wanted to exchange silver. How heavy would so much silver be? Silver notes were so convenient to carry. What a strange woman.

"Madam Li, why do you want to exchange it for silver? Aren't silver notes convenient to carry? If you exchange it for silver, can you take it back?" Shopkeeper Wu looked at Li Yun puzzled.

I have to put the money into the shopping website, but this matter cannot be known to others, so it is not convenient to tell Manager Wu, and I can only let him misunderstand.

"Uncle Wu, you know I'm a village woman and I don't know much about banknotes. Silver still makes me feel safe. It's under my nose every day and I can even hug it when I sleep." Li Yun fooled the shopkeeper Wu.

Seeing that Li Yun had said this, Shopkeeper Wu didn't know what to say. After all, this was her business, so he just had to do as she said.

"Ms. Li, do you want to exchange it all into silver? Or half silver and half banknotes?" Manager Wu asked Li Yun clearly.

"How about this? If we change all of it into silver, it will be too heavy and difficult to carry. Five hundred taels of silver notes, and the rest will all be exchanged into silver ingots of fifty taels each. Is that okay?" Li Yun was embarrassed to ask Shopkeeper Wu, as he seemed a little embarrassed.

After listening to this, Shopkeeper Wu thought it was reasonable and didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's do as Madam Li said, but we don't have that much silver in our store. We need to take it to the money house to exchange it. Please wait a moment, Madam Li." After Manager Wu said this, he told the waiter to go and exchange the silver.

"Uncle Wu, please prepare a table of food for me. After dinner, I will go home too." Li Yun saw that it was getting late outside and was afraid that her family would worry if she went home too late.

"Yes, look at my brain, I forgot to eat. Wait a minute, I'll go down and tell the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes." Shopkeeper Wu said to Li Yun with a guilty look on his face. How could he have been so busy talking business with Madam Li that he forgot to invite her to dinner. After that, he hurried over to tell the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious meals for Li Yun.

Not long after, Manager Wu came over and took Li Yun to the private room on the second floor for dinner.

"Madam Li, the food is ready. Please follow me to the private room on the second floor for dinner." Shopkeeper Wu said to Li Yun as soon as he came up.

Li Yun hadn't expected the meal to be ready so quickly. It must have been Manager Wu's personal supervision, a gesture that touched Li Yun deeply.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Wu, let's go over and have dinner." Li Yun sincerely thanked Shopkeeper Wu.

Manager Wu took Li Yun to the private room on the second floor, where a table full of food was already set.

As soon as the two sat down, Shopkeeper Wu couldn't wait to ask Li Yun.

"Mrs. Li, tell Uncle Wu your address. He'll come look for you in half a month. By then, the boss should have heard something." Shopkeeper Wu was still obsessed with that batch of goods. In half a month, the seasonings he'd bought should be gone. The boss should have given a response, so it would be a good time to go look for Mrs. Li then.

Li Yun had anticipated Shopkeeper Wu's impatience. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a unique seasoning? Especially the white, fine salt, which made him want to own it all. If he were to sell the fine salt, the merchants would probably fight over it, even at the cost of blood.

"Sure, I live in Qingshan Village, Dongnan Town. When you get to Qingshan Village, ask the villagers about Chen Mo's home, and they will take you to my house." Li Yun told Manager Wu his home address.

"I've got it. Uncle Wu will definitely come to visit you in half a month." Shopkeeper Wu remembered the address and told Li Yun again that he would go to Qingshan Village in half a month.

Just then, the waiter came over with a cloth bag containing the exchanged banknotes and silver, and handed it to Manager Wu.

Shopkeeper Wu took the cloth bag, put it on the table, opened it, and asked Li Yun to count the silver.

"Madam Li, the silver has been exchanged. Please count the amount, is it correct?"

You looked at the silver in the cloth bag on the table, counted it, and when the amount was correct, you tied the bag and put it in your backpack.

"Uncle Wu, the amount of silver is correct." Li Qing said to the shopkeeper after counting the silver.

When Manager Wu heard Li Yun say the amount of silver was correct, he didn't disturb her while she was eating.

"Ms. Li, I'm very happy to have a pleasant cooperation with you this time. I hope our cooperation will be even more pleasant next time. Uncle Wu will not disturb you while you are eating. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me directly. I will definitely do my best to help if I can." After saying this, Shopkeeper Wu stood up and prepared to leave.

Li Yun thought that she might really need Manager Wu's help in the future, so she agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu. If I have any difficulties, I will definitely come to you. I won't be polite."

Shopkeeper Wu felt relieved when he heard Li Yun readily agree. As long as she remembered to ask him for help, he would owe her a favor. He was worried that if she didn't ask for help, without the favor, many things would be difficult to do.

Li Yun had no idea that Shopkeeper Wu was playing tricks on her, trying to use his connections to secure a long-term partnership. Even if she knew, she wouldn't say anything. After all, this was the way the world was. There was no such thing as pure friendship; everyone was just using each other for their own benefit.

Li Yun saw Manager Wu about to leave and quickly called him back.

"Uncle Wu, ask the waiter to go to the cowshed and find a man named Lao Chengjun to come over for dinner. He is the coachman I hired in town." Li Yun just remembered that he had not asked Lao Chengjun to come over for dinner yet.

When Manager Wu heard about this, he agreed immediately without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go downstairs and ask the waiter to go to the cowshed to find Lao Chengjun, so as not to disturb Madam Li from eating." After saying this, the shopkeeper hurried downstairs.

After Manager Wu left, Li Yun picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Lao Chengjun was brought in just when he was half full.

Li Yun quickly asked Lao Chengjun to sit down and eat so that he could go home early.

"Uncle Lao, please sit down and have your meal. We will go back after the meal." Li Yun greeted Lao Chengjun warmly.

Lao Chengjun looked at the table full of food, which was so delicious and lusty that he wanted to drool and kept swallowing his saliva.

"Thank you, ma'am. I'll be more than welcome." After saying that, he sat down.

Li Yun was full soon. Seeing that Li Yun was full, Lao Chengjun started to eat voraciously, fearing that Li Yun would say that he ate slowly and almost choked.

Li Yun was speechless when he saw how Lao Chengjun ate. No one was competing with him for the food, so why was he acting like a little child?

"Uncle Lao, eat slowly and don't choke. We are not in a hurry."

Lao Chengjun felt even more troubled after hearing Li Yun's words. He was invited to dinner, yet he ended up doing something so shameful.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry to embarrass you. I was just afraid that it would be late and the road would be difficult to walk on. Let's finish eating quickly so that we can go back early." Lao Chengjun touched his head embarrassedly and said to Li Yun. He looked like a fool.

Li Yun was delighted by his silly and cute appearance. She had never seen anyone so silly and naive, like a panda.

"It's okay, take your time eating, we're not in a hurry."
