Zhong Lingyu became interested upon hearing about the lychee wine: "Who is it? I asked you before, but you kept it a secret."
Su Xue'er smiled and said, "Good sister, we've been waiting for the owner of this lychee wine to come today so we can introduce him to you. This is Miss Pei, who is standing next to me."
Zhong Lingyu sized up Pei Yao, then looked at Su Xue'er: "Is this really the young lady?"
Su Xue'er nodded: "Sister Zhong, when have I ever lied to you? I ordered fifty jars from Miss Pei before, and she just delivered them today."
Pei Yao glanced at Su Xueer, who was introducing herself to everyone, and a hint of doubt flashed through her mind.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingyu looked at Pei Yao, and the disdain in her eyes lessened considerably.
She hadn't expected that Su Xue'er's earlier claim that the owner of the lychee wine was a young woman was actually true.
Ever since she drank the lychee wine that Su Xue'er gave her, she has become addicted to it, wanting a sip every day.
This lychee wine is sweet and easy to drink, and you won't get drunk even if you drink a lot, and you won't have a headache the next day.
This is perfect for someone like her who's really into cooking.
"Miss Pei, is it still possible to order lychee wine from your family now?" Zhong Lingyu asked.
Pei Yao nodded. "Okay."
"Then I'll order some to keep at home!"
Before Pei Yao could even ask how much she wanted to order, Zhong Wanqing sneered again: "Sister, you're not picky at all. You dare to buy any dirty stuff and bring it home. Aren't you afraid of getting sick from drinking it?"
Zhong Lingyu glanced at her indifferently and ignored her.
Pei Yao chuckled and said, "Miss Zhong, don't worry. My lychee wine is made with the best ingredients from my own farm, so there won't be any problems. Besides, I sell ice jelly at the dock in Meilin Town every day. If you have any problems, you can come to me anytime."
One of the girls exclaimed with delight, "You're the one who sells ice jelly at the Meilin Town dock?"
Pei Yao looked at her: "Have you tried my family's ice jelly before, young lady?"
The girl was very excited: "I've had it before, it's so delicious! Last time my brother went there on business, he brought me a cup back. It was the first time I'd ever had such a delicious sweet soup. It's a pity my brother hasn't been there since, so he can't bring me any more..." There was a hint of sadness in the woman's voice as she said this.
The others had never heard of or eaten ice jelly before, but seeing her reaction, they assumed it must be very delicious, and they became curious as well.
It's just a pity that the dock in Meilin Town is a bit far away. I'll have a servant go and buy some later.
Pei Yao continued, "Moreover, drinking some lychee wine every day can also beautify the skin and improve complexion, making it excellent for women."
The other women also became interested when they heard that it could beautify the skin: "Miss, is it true that drinking this lychee wine can beautify the skin?"
Pei Yao nodded: "Drinking lychee tea for a long time can make your skin more supple and radiant."
Girls' eyes light up immediately when they hear it can beautify and nourish the skin.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, I want to give it a try.
Pei Yao looked at Zhong Lingyu, who had spoken earlier, and continued, "Miss Zhong, how many would you like to order?"
Zhong Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take a hundred jars."
“Alright, Miss, you can tell me the location of your residence, and I will deliver it to you tomorrow.”
Zhong Lingyu beckoned to the maid beside her, asking her to copy the address for Pei Yao.
When the other young ladies saw that Zhong Lingyu had bought so much, they had all drunk the lychee wine that Su Xueer had sent before and thought it was delicious, like drinking sweet water. Moreover, the young lady said that the lychee wine could beautify the skin and improve complexion, so they immediately followed Zhong Lingyu and ordered lychee wine from Pei Yao.
“Miss Pei, then I’ll take ten jars as well.”
"I want twenty jars."
"......."
Hearing that everyone was asking her to order lychee wine, Pei Yao silently took out a small notebook and a small charcoal pencil from her bosom and wrote down the quantity and location in the mansion.
Fortunately, we had just brewed a batch of lychee wine at home a few days ago, so we weren't worried about not having anything to sell.
Seeing everyone buying, Zhong Wanqing was actually quite tempted when Pei Yao mentioned that lychee wine could beautify the skin.
However, because of what had just happened, she could only glare at Pei Yao angrily.
That brat! She was flirting with her Brother Lin right at the door, and now she's trying to please these people. She's so annoying!
As Pei Yao took notes, the young ladies had already paid their money.
After Pei Yao finished writing, she checked the information with everyone again. Once she confirmed that everything was correct, she said, "Ladies, I will deliver it to your residences tomorrow."
Because everyone placed a lot of orders, Pei Yao simply offered home delivery as a free service, mainly because she didn't own a shop and people couldn't easily find her.
After confirming that everyone was okay with it, Pei Yao happily accepted the money.
Lin Xueer had another matter to discuss with Pei Yao today.
She looked at Pei Yao and said, "Miss Pei, I ate your ice jelly earlier and I thought it was very delicious. In a few days, I will be coming of age. Could you please come over and make some ice jelly for me to entertain the guests on that day?"
Pei Yao sought out Pei Yao today mainly for this matter.
Pei Yao lowered her head.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Su Xue'er quickly added, "We should need to make five or six hundred cups that day. Can I give you fifty taels of silver?"
Pei Yao thought for a moment. Fifty taels of silver for five or six hundred cups was quite a good profit. More importantly, Su Xue'er had brought her so many customers today, and she didn't know how to thank Su Xue'er, so she agreed.
Su Xue'er was immediately delighted. She had wanted to invite Pei Yao over to make ice jelly for the guests at her coming-of-age ceremony after she had eaten ice jelly earlier.
However, Su Xue'er also knew that the Pei family was so busy with their business that they might not have time to come over.
To my surprise, Pei Yao agreed so readily, which made me very happy.
Before leaving, Pei Yao made a point of thanking Miss Su: "Miss Su, thank you so much for introducing so many guests to me today."
Su Xue'er smiled at him without saying much. Pei Yao thought that Pei Dalang was still waiting outside, and if she didn't go back soon, her uncle would get worried, so she said goodbye to Su Xue'er.
When Pei Yao was led out by the servant, Pei Dalang was standing next to the carriage, anxiously looking into the Su residence.
Pei Dalang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed when he saw Pei Yao come out.
"Yao'er, are you alright?" Pei Dalang asked with a worried expression.
Pei Yao shook her head, then pulled her uncle into the car: "Uncle, let's go back first."
Pei Yao currently had the money the young ladies had used to buy lychee wine, so she didn't want to make a scene here and just wanted to go home as soon as possible.
"good."
Pei Dalang didn't ask any further questions after hearing what she said, and quickly drove the oxcart out of the city.
