Liang Shuyan looked at Sanwang: "Let's go, let's go take a look ahead!"

The three of them arrived at a crowd not far ahead and found it bustling with activity. Sanwang, being the most eager, jumped off the donkey cart and went to investigate.

Soon, they found out the details, and Sanwang said with a grin, "Mother, this is great news! The yamen runner just told us to leave because there's a play going on here. Soon, the play will start, and there are always a lot of people wherever there's a play."

Liang Shuyan glanced over and saw that there really was a stage not far away. On the stage, a man dressed in theatrical costume was singing, his face painted like a magpie. However, there weren't many people in the audience at this time.

Under the bright sunshine, a group of people carrying small stools walked over. Most of them were elderly people, and they were talking to each other about things from operas.

Liang Shuyan doesn't understand opera. In her previous life, she did have some knowledge of opera and liked it. However, when actors sang the opera, she couldn't understand it. So she preferred to learn more about the opera, because many operas are wonderful stories in themselves.

She stood to one side. By this time, people had started to arrive at the stage one after another. Some vendors had also come around, selling candied hawthorns, dough figurines, and various trinkets. Ruyan said happily, "Sanwang, look, there are sugar figurines for sale over there."

Sugar figurines were also a favorite food of ancient people. As soon as Ruyan saw them, she couldn't help but want to go and take a look. These shiny sugar figurines looked even more transparent and cute in the sunlight. She pointed to a butterfly-shaped sugar figurine and said, "I want this one!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Sanwang took the sugar figurine and, like a child, spun it around in her hands, her little face turning exceptionally red.

Liang Shuyan glanced at it and coughed softly: "Sanwang, look, you've already set up the stall here. Let your mother watch. There are lots of delicious food and fun things here. You can take Ruyan around and explore for a bit."

Upon hearing his mother's words, Sanwang happily replied, "Oh, Mother, I understand."

Liang Shuyan called out again, "Sanwang, come here for a second!"

Sanwang stepped forward, and Liang Shuyan took out some loose silver from her pocket and handed it to him: "Here, be generous. See what Ruyan wants to eat and buy it for her. Don't be stingy with any cosmetics or face powder she likes, okay?"

Sanwang blushed and said shyly, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"It's alright, just do as Mother says, you can't go wrong!"

Sanwang laughed and ran away.

The two children had long harbored feelings for each other, and Liang Shuyan already knew about it. Once the teahouse opened, she would arrange their engagement as well.

Liang Shuyan's crisp voice rang out: "Jin's Tea House tea is being given away for free! Everyone passing by, come and take a pack. Only one pack per person. Welcome to try it!"

Upon hearing the sound, the small vendors who were doing business nearby also gathered around.

A young girl asked timidly, "Auntie, why is your tea being given away for free? Shouldn't you be selling it at a stall?"

The little girl was right. Why was everyone around her setting up stalls to sell tea, but Liang Shuyan insisted on giving it away? How could anyone understand that?

"Look, everyone else is selling them for money, but I'm not selling them today. I just want to give these tea leaves away!"

The little girl was wearing an old gray cotton-padded jacket with patches on the cuffs and collar, and she had a runny nose. She looked like a girl from a poor family. Suddenly, she had an idea. She called the little girl aside and whispered a few words in her ear.

The little girl nodded shyly: "Mmm."

Then Liang Shuyan handed the prepared bags of tea to the little girl and ran away with a smile.

The people around didn't know why the little girl had taken so much tea leaves. A middle-aged woman stepped forward and asked, "Why did you give so much tea leaves to that girl?"

"No, that girl just now looked like she had no money. I found her a job, to distribute my tea to the merchants, from house to house, and then I'll give her two coins when she comes back."

From the crowd, someone finally spoke up: "I know that little girl. She's an orphan, very pitiful. She often begs for food here. I never expected that you would be so kind, not only because you're doing business at a loss. I want to ask you, are you giving away tea like this because you have a lot of tea at home?"

Liang Shuyan shook her head. Seeing how sincere this person was, she then said, "To be honest, I am from Jin's Tea House. This is our tea. This is our first time entering the market, so I would like to ask everyone to help me taste it and give us some feedback so that we can gradually adjust and improve it later."

Upon hearing this, everyone crowded around, seemingly relieved to see the woman before them.

"Alright, give me two packets to try. We're from the Huang Family Silk and Cloth Shop. If your tea is good, we won't have to go all the way to the capital to buy it!"

A plump woman standing nearby chimed in, saying, "In that case, give us two packs too. Look, that steamed bun shop over there is ours. You can go in and take a look. If your tea is good and reasonably priced, I'll consider buying tea from there. Our customers are all regulars, and I don't want to give them cheap tea. Of course, if it's too expensive, our little shop can't afford it."

Liang Shuyan understood. Next, she should talk about the unique features of her family's tea, that is, the selling point of the tea. Most of the tea on the market is transported from the capital and is of inferior quality. The tea that is really edible costs at least 20 wen per 50 grams. Considering the high cost of tea, Liang Shuyan has also made some improvements to her tea. On the basis of using pure ingredients, she has also considered various effects such as health care, beauty and weight loss. Of course, the taste is also very important. At present, she has only made a kind of light and fragrant wild rose type.

"First of all, thank you all for your trust. What I'm offering today are just some free samples for promotional purposes. Our tea is made primarily from pure, transparent ground peppers. Secondly, the almonds we use have cough-relieving, health-promoting, beauty-enhancing, and weight-loss benefits. Long-term consumption can make women's skin radiant and achieve a beauty effect. We also add pure natural floral and herbal ingredients as fragrances. Today we are offering the wild rose type, and we will release teas with various fragrances in the future for everyone to choose from."

The theater was getting bigger and bigger, but the surrounding merchants had all surrounded Liang Shuyan's stall, as if the play on the stage was even more exciting than what was being performed there.

"I will also do a preliminary understanding of everyone's needs. How about this, if you like it, take two packs home and try them. If you like it, you can order from us. We have regular free registration here every day. You can order in advance here according to your preferred scent. The price is currently not fixed, but it is roughly between 10 and 20 coins. But I can guarantee that it will definitely not exceed 20 coins!"
