"Miss Pei, what brings you here today to deliver goods?"
Previously, it was Chen Fang who came to collect the debts.
Pei Yao dusted off her hands and greeted Manager Qian with a smile, "Uncle Qian, long time no see. You look a bit plumper lately."
Uncle Qian's business is getting better and better, and his employer has raised his wages, so he is now living a comfortable life.
Shopkeeper Qian smiled happily: "I have indeed gained some weight recently."
"It's good to be a little chubby, you were too thin before." Pei Yao always thought that Manager Qian was very thin before, but now he looks much better after gaining weight.
"Miss Pei, come inside and have some tea and chat." Manager Qian's hobby is drinking tea. He wants to drink some when he's happy, and he also wants to drink some when he's unhappy, so he always invites Pei Yao to have some tea whenever she comes.
Pei Yao wanted to sit down and have some tea, but she still had to go to the stall, so she politely declined Manager Qian's offer.
Knowing that she was busy, Manager Qian didn't insist that she stay for tea. He handed the money bag in his hand to Pei Yao and said, "This is the money for the past half month. Count it. This is the account book."
Pei Yao also had an account book in his hand. He had already calculated it before leaving. He glanced at it and saw that it was no different from Manager Qian's, so he returned Manager Qian's account book to him.
"I've checked, it's correct,"
Pei Yao exchanged a few more pleasantries with Manager Qian before leaving, as she still had to go to the dock to help Pei Dalang and the others.
……
When Pei Yao arrived at the dock, it was still crowded with people as usual. Pei Yao walked around the crowd to her own stall.
It's pretty much the same as before; these people are mainly here to buy ice jelly.
Pei Yao was still in charge of watching the lychee wine stall, just like before.
Soon, a figure that Pei Yao recognized appeared in the crowd.
The young man wore a blue robe and had an extraordinary air about him. His long, dark hair was tied up high with a jade hairpin, making him appear gentle and refined.
Pei Yao recognized him at a glance; it was Lin Shaoqing…
However, standing next to him was a very beautiful girl, wearing a light pink dress, with delicate and pretty features, and looking to be about the same age as Lin Shaoqing.
Lin Shaoqing hasn't been to the dock for a while, and Pei Yao hasn't seen him for a while either. To be honest, Pei Yao misses him quite a bit... his money.
"Young Master Lin, it's been a long time." Pei Yao greeted him warmly. He was one of her most important clients, so it was only right to be enthusiastic.
Lin Shaoqing walked over with the girl beside him, and looked at Pei Yao with a smile: "Miss Pei, it's been a long time. I've been quite busy with my studies at school these days, so I haven't been here for a while."
Pei Yao had always had a good impression of Lin Shaoqing. Whether it was his frequent support of her business or his role in connecting her with Gu Mingqian, Pei Yao was very grateful to him.
The girl next to Lin Shaoqing looked at Pei Yao and then at the wine on her stall.
Pei Yao seemed to notice her interest in the wine, so she poured her a cup in a clean bamboo cup and handed it to her.
"Miss, this is our family's special lychee wine. It's sweet and refreshing. Would you like to try some?"
The girl blinked her almond-shaped eyes and then reached out to take the wine that Pei Yao handed her.
First, he put it to his nose and smelled it: "This is definitely the smell."
Then he took a small sip, and looked up at Pei Yao with great delight, then at Lin Shaoqing beside him: "Shaoqing, this is the one."
Pei Yao was completely confused by this girl. Could it be that this girl had drunk it?
Seeing Pei Yao's confused look, Lin Shaoqing explained, "I bought some lychee wine from you earlier and gave one jar to my cousin. My cousin loves it, so she kept asking me to bring her to buy more to take home."
Pei Yao understood; so that's how it is.
Su Xue'er, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but take another sip. She blinked her big almond-shaped eyes at Pei Yao and said, "Miss, your lychee wine is so delicious. Shaoqing gave me a jar earlier, but I didn't really drink it. I asked him to bring me to buy some, but he kept saying he was busy with his studies. Today I'm going to buy more to take back and share with my good sisters."
Su Xueer lives in Shangtang County. She came here by horse-drawn carriage today, intending to buy more things to take back and share with her good friends.
Pei Yao smiled and said, "Miss Su, this lychee wine is not only delicious, but drinking a small amount every day can also beautify the skin and improve complexion." Pei Yao was telling the truth; drinking a small amount of lychee wine does indeed have effects such as beautifying the skin, improving complexion, losing weight, and lowering lipids.
Therefore, it is very good for women to drink some lychee wine in moderation.
"Okay, then I'll take fifty jars back with me and drink them slowly." Even if she can't finish them all, she can send some to her girlfriends.
Lychee wine has a mild flavor; it's more like drinking a lychee-flavored beverage, which is why Su Xueer loves it.
Pei Yao didn't have that many jars on hand, so she asked, "Miss Su, this lychee wine needs time to brew. Could you wait a few days?"
Su Xue'er naturally knew that good food requires waiting, so she asked, "How long will it take?"
Pei Yao thought for a moment: "Five days."
Su Xue'er readily agreed upon hearing this, and then asked about the price. Upon learning that it was only one tael of silver per jar, she directly paid Pei Yao a fifty-tael silver note.
After paying, he glanced at the remaining lychees on Pei Yao's table and said, "Sell me all the ones on this table too."
"Okay."
Pei Yao quickly counted the lychee wine on the table; there were fifteen jars in total. Su Xue'er gave Pei Yao twenty taels of silver: "Keep the change; consider it a tip for your trouble."
Pei Yao: "......"
Pei Yao held the silver in her hand, but inwardly she was filled with admiration, wondering where this rich woman had come from and wishing she could have a few more.
Su Xue'er gave Pei Yao an address: "Miss, could you please deliver it to this address in five days?"
Pei Yao glanced at the address and readily agreed. Although Shangtang County was a bit far, this girl was a big client. Her demeanor suggested she was from a wealthy family, so her social circle must be quite extensive. She was practically a walking advertisement.
"Yes, Miss Su bought so many, so of course we can give them away."
Upon hearing that all the lychee wine had been sold, Niu Qingshan and Pei Dalang came over to help carry the fifteen jars of lychee wine onto the Lin family's carriage.
Pei Yao then filled two cups with ice jelly and gave them to the Lin siblings: "Miss Su, this lychee-flavored ice jelly is for you. I hope you won't find it offensive."
Lin Shaoqing had tried it before, but seeing the long queue today, she didn't join in. She thought she wouldn't get to drink the lychee shaved ice today, but unexpectedly, she got to drink it thanks to her cousin. She happily accepted the shaved ice from Pei Yao and said, "Thank you, Miss Pei."
Seeing Lin Shaoqing's expression, Su Xue'er naturally understood that the ice jelly must taste quite good, after all, her cousin was a real gourmand.
