However, before the other party left, he thought of something and asked him to rest in the manor for the night.

She had twenty catties of lychees picked and packed into two boxes.

Two kinds of strawberries were then taken and made into strawberry candy and dried fruit, respectively.

There was no other way; messengers came and went in a hurry, and the goods had to be carried on their backs and jostled around.

Lychees can be protected with a little care, but fresh strawberries can't withstand it.

The next day, all the items were handed over to the messenger to be delivered to Princess Fu'an.

After finishing, Yun Zhiyi prepared to go to the vegetable shop.

But Father Li came looking for him.

Seeing the gift presented as a token of gratitude, Yun Zhiyi did not refuse it, and after asking a few words of concern, she let the matter drop.

Before leaving, Li's father thought for a moment and decided to convey to Doctor Chen his wish to see her.

Yun Zhiyi was not surprised after hearing this, since the medicine was so effective that it was normal for it to attract attention.

However, she has no plans to get involved in the pharmaceutical industry for the time being, so there is no need for her to contact those people. She simply nodded to indicate that she understood.

Seeing this, Li's father understood her meaning and didn't ask any more questions.

He was about to leave when he was called back.

"By the way, I heard that your daughter used to be an embroiderer? I wonder how good her embroidery skills are, and if she can make clothes?"

Father Li was taken aback, realizing she was asking about his second daughter, and quickly said, "My second daughter does know how to embroider. She worked as an embroiderer in the embroidery workshop for three years and can also make clothes, but I can't say for sure about the quality. If the master needs anything, I'll have her embroider some things for you to see."

Yun Zhiyi nodded. "Go to the storeroom and get a piece of brocade. Have her make one set of men's and one set of women's clothing. She can decide the style, pattern, and design herself. Bring them to me when they're done."

A hint of joy flashed in Li's father's eyes.

Although he only worked as an accountant within the estate, he was in charge of all the account books for the owner's properties.

Naturally, I knew she still owned two cloth shops, and that she seemed to be making adjustments to the cloth shop business these days.

He knew this was an opportunity the employer was giving his daughter; if she could seize it, she could get a job at the cloth shop.

He quickly bowed and acknowledged him.

Yun Zhiyi waved her hand and drove away.

Li Erhua was sitting under a tree, cracking sunflower seeds with a group of her girlfriends.

She still had gauze on half of her face, but she looked much more energetic.

After this brush with death, she became much more composed.

Everything about the Dong family is put aside and can even be mentioned as a joke.

She would no longer shut herself in her room and avoid contact with others for fear of being ridiculed for losing her job as an embroiderer.

It's like they've completely let go and don't care anymore.

The only downside is that she's heard from her friends that many aunties and grandmas have been trying to introduce her to potential partners.

Li Erhua is eighteen this year, and will be nineteen after the New Year, making her an over-aged spinster.

Now that this has happened, it will probably be difficult to find a good family to marry into in the near future.

However, his family just received a large sum of compensation, so if the dowry is generous, he should be able to find a wealthy husband within the year.

However, after this experience, Li Erhua is now somewhat resistant to marriage and doesn't want to marry just anyone.

I was thinking of finding some time to talk to my parents about this.

She considered returning to the city after a while to see if she could find another job.

As they were chatting, the two girls suddenly asked in surprise, "Hey, Erhua, why is your dad back?"

Li Erhua looked up and, sure enough, saw her father had returned and was walking towards her.

"Dad, why are you back at this time? Did something happen?"

Father Li glanced at the other curious onlookers and said, "Erhua, I need to talk to you. Come home with me first."

"Ah? Oh, okay." Seeing that her father wasn't in a hurry, Li Erhua figured it wasn't anything serious, so she said goodbye and went back with him.

As soon as she entered the door, Li's father quickly pulled her towards the main room.

"Hey, Dad, what happened?"

Upon entering the main room, I found my mother and eldest brother there as well, both staring at a piece of cloth on the table, seemingly quite pleased.

Her gaze fell on the piece of cloth wrapped in gray cloth, and she thought it was something her father had bought, but then she suddenly realized.

"Dad, you wanted me to make clothes? You should have said so earlier. But it's not a holiday, why are you suddenly buying fabric to make clothes? They'll be old by the New Year, it's such a waste."

Li Shurong chuckled, "It is indeed making clothes, but it wasn't your father who asked you to do it; it was the employer who asked you to do it."

Li Erhua was taken aback, then her eyes widened, "Master?"

Then she got excited and exclaimed, "Really? What kind of clothes does the boss want? I'll make them right away!"

Father Li hurriedly said, "Don't rush, this isn't about making clothes for the employer, it's a test from the employer."

Li Erhua asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Li's father stroked his beard and smiled broadly.

"The employer asked me if I knew how to embroider and make clothes, and asked me to try to make two sets of clothes with this piece of cloth. You could decide the style and embroidery pattern. It was probably to test your embroidery skills and ability to make clothes. The employer owned a cloth shop. If I passed, I might be able to work there."

After saying that, he added, "Of course, this is just my guess. Maybe the employer just wants you to make a few sets of clothes. But whatever the result or reason, this is your opportunity."

"Yes, Erhua, you must seize this opportunity so that you can wholeheartedly serve your employer and repay her kindness in the future."

Li's mother also smiled.

Li Erhua finally came to her senses, her gaze falling on the piece of cloth, her eyes filled with excitement, and then she nodded firmly.

"I know, Father, Mother, and Elder Brother. Don't worry, I will do my best to seize this opportunity."

After saying that, I felt a little uneasy.

"But my skills are too rough, I'm afraid the employer won't be interested."

"Second sister, if your skills were really rough, the embroidery workshop wouldn't have hired you. Your embroidery is so beautiful, your elder brother has confidence in you."

Father Li nodded, "No matter what, we must try our best."

Li Erhua looked at the cloth, clenched her fists, and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, I know, I will!"

As soon as Yun Zhiyi arrived at the vegetable shop, she unsurprisingly saw a group of people waiting.

However, most of the people in the crowd now are servants from wealthy families dressed in fine clothes.

There were fewer familiar faces.

For an average family, one purchase yesterday would be sufficient.

A single, robust cabbage can last for three days.

Those who can line up to buy every day are basically servants of wealthy families and newcomers.

However, it seems that there are more servants among the wealthy families today.

Many of them stared intently at her, scrutinizing her closely.

There are probably people who aren't just there to buy groceries.

She ignored them and, as usual, made people line up while the shop assistant stocked the shelves.

The dishes are the same as yesterday.

Most of the first group of people went straight for the strawberries.

I quickly grabbed one box of each of the two types before heading to get the other dishes.

Yun Zhiyi was in charge of collecting money and occasionally helped with chopping vegetables.

Just then, a few people appeared at the end of the street and happened to see a strange procession appearing on the side of West Street.

After asking, they were all astonished to learn that these people were actually queuing up to buy vegetables at Yunjian Vegetable Shop.

"So many people?" Zhou Hanshan's eyes widened. "Is it really that delicious?"

It's just food, how delicious can it be?

Yu Shaolian stroked his chin. "It's quite ordinary, but it's amazing that the shop can get so many people to line up so obediently."
