This Pei family girl is not only beautiful and efficient, but also so good at interpersonal relationships. Aunt Niu Er thinks that this girl really has no flaws. The Pei family has truly raised a good daughter.
"Grandma Niu, it's nothing expensive, just some wild jujubes I picked in the mountains behind the village that I made into pastries. We tried them and they were pretty good. You and Grandpa Niu can try them too." Pei Yao's smile was obvious.
Aunt Niu was quite surprised when she heard that it was made from sour jujubes. She had eaten sour jujubes before, and they were so sour and astringent that they were very unpalatable. She never expected that Yao girl could make such an unpalatable fruit into pastries.
I admire this girl from the bottom of my heart; she's so capable.
Pei Yao chatted with Aunt Niu for a while before going to find Uncle Niu. She had come to the Niu family today specifically to see Uncle Niu.
Pei Yao had been thinking about adding two rooms to the yard at home for the past two days.
She wasn't a local, so she didn't know if there were any procedures required to add a house to the yard, or how to hire someone to build it.
Uncle Niu is a native of Liangshui Village and also the acting village chief, so he definitely knows more than Pei Yao.
After Pei Yao shared her thoughts, Uncle Niu Er replied without much thought: "If it's just built in the yard, then naturally no procedures are needed. As for the people, I know a few experienced builders who are all skilled at building stone houses. I'll contact them later."
After finishing speaking, Uncle Niu tapped his pipe, looking quite reliable.
"Okay, thank you Grandpa Niu then." After saying that, Pei Yao chatted with the two of them for a while before going home.
Tomorrow is the day to deliver the lychee wine to Su Xue'er. After dinner, the family started busying themselves with the lychee wine business again. Now that the Deyun Restaurant has outsourced the orders to the Shen family, the Pei family is much more relaxed and only needs to focus on making ice jelly and lychee wine.
Fortunately, Su Xueer didn't order too much lychee wine, so the group finished preparing it quickly.
Thinking about delivering lychee wine to Su Xue'er in the county tomorrow, Pei Yao went to bed early this morning.
After all, it's quite a journey to and from the county, so it's best to go and return as soon as possible.
The next morning, Pei Yao rode in Niu Qingshan's oxcart to town first, and then rented a horse-drawn carriage for transporting goods from a place that rented horse-drawn carriages.
Pei Dalang was worried about Pei Yao going alone, so he simply went with her.
Pei Dalang had learned the Six Arts of a Gentleman since childhood, so riding a horse was not difficult for him.
The two of them rented only one car, thus saving the cost of a driver.
Moreover, since Pei Dalang was driving himself, he could better control the time.
And so, the two of them said goodbye to their families and set off for Shangtang County.
After entering the city, I randomly picked a roadside stall and ate a bowl of plain noodles for lunch.
Neither of them had eaten breakfast, so they were indeed hungry now.
After finishing her meal, Pei Yao took out the note Su Xue'er had given her earlier, which had her home address written on it, and showed it to the noodle shop owner.
"Shopkeeper, may I ask you how to get to the Su residence?"
The Su family was a wealthy household, and the shopkeeper knew how to get there after just a few glances, so he gave them directions.
After thanking the shopkeeper, the two men drove their oxcart to the location indicated by the shopkeeper.
Pei Dalang and Pei Yao quickly found the Su residence. The Su residence was very large, with red buildings and green tiles occupying almost half of the alley.
Pei Yao couldn't help but sigh at how good it was to be rich; this was the first time he had ever seen such a large mansion since coming to this world.
That's really impressive.
Pei Dalang parked the carriage at the side gate of the Su residence. He originally intended for Pei Yao to stay in the carriage, but he went over and knocked on the door.
However, Pei Yao asked him to guard the carriage, and then got out of the carriage to knock on the door herself.
Pei Yao knocked on the side door, and someone quickly came to open it. The person who opened the door was a servant wearing a melon-shaped hat. He looked at Pei Yao, who was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a puzzled expression: "Who are you looking for?"
Pei Yao explained calmly, "A few days ago, Miss Su asked me to order a batch of lychee wine and asked me to deliver it to her today."
He spoke naturally, without the slightest fear.
Seeing Pei Yao's state, the servant glanced at the carriage parked not far away, paused, and said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and inform them."
Pei Yao nodded politely and smiled, "Thank you for your trouble, young man."
The servant didn't say much, closed the door, and went to find Su Xue'er.
Pei Yao went back to the carriage first.
"How did it go?" Pei Dalang asked after she returned.
Pei Yao explained, "That young man said he was going in to inform them."
The young man came out again not long after he went in, this time opening the side door directly, followed by a group of people.
"Uncle, why did so many people suddenly come?" Pei Yao asked softly, looking at the group of people with some confusion.
Pei Dalang didn't understand either.
The young man who had opened the door for Pei Yao earlier came over and explained, "Miss, we just went in to inform my young lady. She asked me to bring more people to help move these wines into her courtyard. Oh, and Miss, my young lady said she wants you to come in too."
Pei Dalang wanted to go with them, but the servant spoke up again: "Brother, our young lady has only invited this young lady in. Please wait."
Pei Yao looked at the servant explaining the rules to the little robot and asked, "Excuse me, sir, is there something your young lady wants to see me about? May I refuse?"
The servant glanced at her and said, "Miss said she needs to see you, but I don't know anything else."
Pei Yao had met Su Xue'er before and found her to be quite normal, not like a bad person. Besides, Su Xue'er was currently her important client. Since her important client wanted to see her, and she was already at the door, it would be inappropriate not to go. So Pei Yao asked her uncle to wait in the carriage for a while, and she would be back soon.
Although Pei Dalang was somewhat worried, he had no other choice but to give Pei Yao a few words of advice and tell her to be careful.
Pei Yao nodded, reassuring him.
Then I followed the servant inside.
Pei Dalang, under the pretext of helping the servants move goods, also managed to sneak in through the back door.
As he walked, he memorized the terrain so that he could rush in and save Yao'er immediately if anything happened to her.
However, when he arrived at the gate of Miss Su's courtyard, he was stopped by someone.
"No men are allowed in the young lady's courtyard," the maid, Xia, said, glancing at Pei Dalang.
Pei Dalang could only explain while holding the wine, "I'll go in and deliver the wine."
Xia still wouldn't let him in: "Just leave the wine here, someone will come and carry it in later."
Pei Dalang had no choice but to put down the wine jar he was holding and then follow the servant out.
The servant led Pei Yao into the Su family home through a side door. The Su family home looked big from the outside, but it looked even bigger once inside.
She followed the servant, turning left and right, until she finally entered a small courtyard. Even before she reached the gate, she could hear women laughing and joking inside.
"Miss Pei."
