After Su Qingluan went crazy like this, Xie Zian didn't bother to make things difficult for her. He was just afraid that she would take her anger out on the jam, so he tried to persuade her gently and fearfully.
At this moment, he deeply regretted finding fault with the person in front of him just because he was unhappy at all - why did he have to make things so uncomfortable?
But Su Qingluan is someone who doesn't play by the rules, and it's the first time Xie Zian has seen someone suddenly throw a tantrum without any warning.
He thought that he had not yet reached the point of being "oppressed", so why did he resist so fiercely?
Although Xie Zian was moody, he didn't really want to do anything to Su Qingluan. Instead, Su Qingluan's "madness" made him afraid to offend her so casually again.
After all, Su Qingluan was making food for her grandmother. If she got angry and added some ingredients in it, he would be in big trouble.
So after a flurry of apologies and compensations, Su Qingluan no longer had to bow or kneel, nor did she need to be servile. She was treated as a distinguished guest and was invited to have tea in the side hall.
However, Su Qingluan did not get complacent about this. She knew very well that the reason why the other party was suddenly so polite to her was entirely because she was now "useful" - useful to please the elders of the Xie family.
As long as this fruit jam can win the favor of the elders of the Xie family and even the nobles in the capital, then not to mention Xie Zian, even if she goes to the capital, her craftsmanship will be looked up to by others.
But there is always a chance...
Su Qingluan lowered her eyes: If there is any mistake, she, as the person directly and primarily responsible, will naturally bear the corresponding consequences, but her family is so innocent...
She didn't intend to ask Xie Zian for leniency - for such a moody person, reasoning with him was like playing the lute to a cow. Besides, he might not be afraid of going back on his word if he agreed to something.
To put it bluntly, she couldn't trust Xie Zian, an erratic playboy, in any way.
But if you're someone who can be entrusted with the care of their loved ones...
A candidate suddenly flashed through Su Qingluan's mind.
As Su Qingluan expected, although no one in the Xie family dared to treat her too disrespectfully after she "went crazy", as soon as she left, Xie Zian frowned.
"She's just a commoner girl, relying on her skills to show off to me!" Xie Zian's face was filled with anger. "If I wasn't counting on her to please my grandmother with her food..."
"Don't be upset, young master..." the old housekeeper sighed. "Whether Madam Su's jam will please the old lady is still a question. Even if it does catch her eye, it's only a temporary blessing. Once the old lady's excitement wears off, won't this ungrateful little girl be at your mercy?"
"...Who wants to deal with her?" Xie Zian looked up suspiciously.
"Ah...ah?" The old housekeeper was puzzled, thinking to himself, you looked like you wanted to peel off a layer of skin from her just now, why didn't you look like you wanted to punish her?
Of course, as a servant, he couldn't say this out loud, so he said carefully: "Of course, young master, you are so magnanimous..."
Xie Zian didn't even listen to what the old housekeeper said. He just banged the mahogany table. "That fruit jam called 'Four Seasons' has two new flavors. I've never tried them, and now I have to watch them slip away!" Xie Zian looked unwilling. "Two flavors, I wonder how delicious they are!"
“…” The old butler was speechless: he had overestimated the "filial piety" of this dandy young master and his obsession with sweets.
If Su Qingluan knew that Xie Zian's sudden anger was caused by not getting to try the latest flavor of jam, she'd probably roll her eyes and internally rant about it, spamming the screen with comments: "What a mess!" Even if it's just a "foodie's grudge," isn't that a bit too self-indulgent?
But then again, even if she knew Xie Zian's idea, she didn't plan to give the emergency backup jam to Xie Zian to try - from the very beginning, she planned to make "Four Seasons" a unique delicacy.
Su Qingluan had done some thorough research and found that Madam Xie was the legitimate daughter of the emperor's maternal relatives, and thus had a close relationship with the royal family. Furthermore, the man she married was Xie Zian's grandfather, who also held a noble title, and was already extremely wealthy.
Such people certainly don't lack food and drink.
If we think back to modern times, luxury goods are not just “expensive”, but more importantly, they are “rare”, “unique”, and have a “specialness” that cannot be bought with any amount of money.
Since we want to be "special", the less the better.
Su Qingluan was also very clear that in the Xie family, Madam Xie must have a much more important position than Xie Zian, the playboy - otherwise Xie Zian would not have been easily sent to Lefeng County, a place thousands of miles away from the capital, to "reflect".
Since the wild fruits of Huaxi Village are to be developed into an industrial chain, high-end user groups must be targeted. Obviously, although Xie Zian can be considered a "rich man", he is not as good as Mrs. Xie.
However, after Su Qingluan delivered the fruit jam to Xie's house, she was sent back by carriage, but not to the doorstep - because Su Guangfu and Yang brought their younger brother and sister, walked several miles from home to greet her, and were eagerly waiting for her to come back.
Seeing Su Qingluan get off the carriage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
When Su Qingluan saw this scene, her eyes felt a little sore, but she forced herself to hold back the sour tears - otherwise her father and mother would definitely be worried to death.
Seeing the carriage that had brought her back had gone far away, Su Qingluan turned to look at her family and jokingly said, "Don't you need to make dinner today, mother? Why are you just sitting there in a daze?"
