Shen Qingyu looked at Qi Yunxiao sincerely: "Thank you for being there."
Qi Yunxiao shivered and suddenly didn't know how to respond.
He wasn't used to Shen Qingyu expressing her gratitude in such a formal way.
Upon arriving in the prefectural city, the two went to Guiyun Tower to exchange opinions on the stage for subsequent storytelling and opera performances, and determined methods for improvement.
Only after confirming the wholesale and retail prices for chili sauce, braised meat jerky, and soap sold at Guiyunlou was Shen Qingyu finally relieved.
After finishing her business, Shen Qingyu wanted to leave, but Qi Yunxiao suggested, "Since we're already here, why don't we go shopping? It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, let's buy some mooncakes and snacks to take back."
That's true, mooncakes are always needed.
Shen Qingyu heeded Qi Yunxiao's advice and left Guiyun Tower.
The shopkeeper kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything. After the two had walked away, the waiter asked in surprise, "Shopkeeper, didn't the boss already ask Laifuji to deliver mooncakes? Why do we still need to go out and buy more?"
The shopkeeper slapped him on the back of the head: "You think you're so smart?! Why did you have to say that?"
The waiter scratched the back of his head, no longer daring to utter a word.
Perhaps because the festival was approaching, the city was very lively, and everyone bought some things to celebrate.
Offer two mooncakes so that when we worship our ancestors, they can at least have something sweet to eat.
As Shen Qingyu walked, Qi Yunxiao took her hand.
She glanced back at Qi Yunxiao, who immediately returned her a big smile.
To be honest, after seeing Qi Yunxiao without the birthmark these past few days, I don't actually find him ugly anymore when I see him deliberately wearing the birthmark.
This secret joy of knowing only that your beauty makes Shen Qingyu feel happy too.
The two walked and stopped frequently, and seeing many fruit vendors ahead, Shen Qingyu went forward to take a look out of curiosity.
Pomelos, chestnuts, persimmons... all kinds of fruits are available.
Shen Qingyu specifically picked out some that looked pretty and bought quite a lot.
Seeing that she bought it without hesitation, Qi Yunxiao couldn't help but ask, "Would you like to try some?"
Don't look at it because it looks good; it tastes terrible.
Shen Qingyu waved her hand: "No need."
Absolutely do not taste it!
I bought these fruits because I had planted them in my own space, and I wanted to give the things in my space a proper place to go.
If Qi Yunxiao tastes the fruit and finds out it's too sour, how will he be able to fool her when he eats the delicious fruit in his space?
Qi Yunxiao, unaware of the situation, also supported her in making the purchase.
By the time the items were bought and loaded onto the carriage, Shen Qingyu had already replaced them all.
The carriage arrived at Lai Fu Kee Dim Sum Shop, where a long queue had formed outside, all of them wanting to buy mooncakes.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyu turned and left, saying, "Why don't we go to Laifuji in town? There are too many people here."
Qi Yunxiao didn't mind and nodded in agreement.
Just as the two were about to leave, Shen Qingyu seemed to remember something and asked Qi Yunxiao to drive the carriage to the Qian residence to deliver a basket of pomelos to Yu Qiao.
Yu Qiao was surprised: "Why did you think of sending me this?"
Shen Qingyu explained, "I bought it on the way here. It looks pretty good. You should try it."
Yu Qiao naturally obliged and immediately told her maid to peel one for her.
As soon as Yu Qiao put a piece of pomelo in her mouth, her eyes narrowed!
This pomelo tastes really good!
Not only is it sweet and sour, but it's also incredibly juicy and fragrant!
It bursts with juice when you eat it, and leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth!
Yu Qiao nodded repeatedly: "This tastes delicious too! Do you have any more? I'll go buy some more."
Shen Qingyu waved her hand: "You don't need to buy any. I have two baskets in my car. You can have them both."
Even if you bought it, it couldn't possibly taste this good!
Yu Qiao accepted it without hesitation.
After Shen Qingyu left, Yuqiao gave one basket to her parents and the other to Qian Wanliang.
Before long, Master Qian sent someone to ask Yuqiao: "Miss, the master said that this pomelo tastes particularly good. He asked where it was bought so that someone can buy more and send them to your family as holiday gifts."
Yu Qiao naturally knew that it tasted good, but it was a gift from Shen Qingyu, so how would she know where it was bought?
So Yuqiao sent people to chase after them.
When the servant caught up with Guiyun Tower, he saw Qi Yunxiao by the carriage, while Shen Qingyu had already gone upstairs.
Hearing that they wanted to know where the pomelos were bought, Qi Yunxiao described the place in detail.
The servant knew the city gates well and immediately knew where it was. He rushed over and bought all the remaining pomelos.
Who knew that the pomelos I bought would taste so different from what I expected!
Not to mention its sourness and astringency, it also doesn't have much moisture, and its fragrance is nowhere near as good.
At first, Mr. Qian was unconvinced, thinking that it was just a coincidence that one of the baskets was not tasty, so he ordered people to taste one from each basket... and not a single basket was tasty!
"Have all the good pomelos been sold out?" Mr. Qian was unconvinced, but he had no choice but to give up.
The instigator, Shen Qingyu, took the two baskets of pomelos she had bought later, switched them with Qi Yunxiao, and prepared to go home.
The two laughing and chatting didn't notice that in the nearby general store, Jialefang, a pair of eyes were watching their cheerful appearance with eyes that were practically filled with venom!
When the car arrived in Hengshui Town, Shen Qingyu visited the soap workshop and was pleased to find that soap production was fully underway.
Then they went to Lai Fu Ji Dim Sum Shop, where the shop assistant had prepared a lot of mooncakes and various pastries that had been prepared in advance, and asked Shen Qingyu to take them back.
"Before Qian Dongjia went to the prefectural city, he instructed that this was for Shen Dongjia's use during the festival, and that it should not be specially recorded in the accounts, but deducted from Qian Dongjia's dividends."
Shen Qingyu grinned: "Then I won't stand on ceremony, but there's one more deal you need to make happen for me."
"What is it? Just tell me, Master Shen."
"I need to distribute some mooncakes and pastries to the people in each workshop for the festival. Make these for each person..."
A bill was handed over, and the clerk was dumbfounded: This quantity... is way too much!
If no one pays... I wonder if the landlord will have any objections?
Shen Qingyu immediately saw through the shopkeeper's worries: "This will be deducted from my share of the profits."
The shop assistant's eyes lit up: "Payment? That's a huge deal!"
"I wonder when Master Shen will need it?"
Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "It's fine if we ask for it a couple of days before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After leaving Lai Fu Ji, Qi Yunxiao joked, "Your idea is pretty good. Should I follow your method and give the staff and subordinates some mooncakes and pastries?"
Qi Yunxiao used to just give out money; he never thought of giving out anything else.
Shen Qingyu nodded seriously: "I think it's good to give them something. Why don't you give them something? They might not be willing to buy such good mooncakes and pastries to take home as gifts after receiving the money."
"But if you've already given it to them, they'll have to give it up, even if they're reluctant. Their families will be happy to see it too."
Qi Yunxiao's eyes lit up: That's right.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He couldn't help but look at Shen Qingyu and exclaim, "My wife is so clever; she thinks things through so meticulously!"
