Shen Manman glanced at Ye Caiping indifferently; she was very beautiful.
She was dressed too plainly, not even wearing a flower in her hair, and she didn't look young.
Shen Manman said, "Ma'am, you made the milk sweet soup just now."
Ye Caiping was a little confused by her scrutiny: "I did it. Don't call me 'big sister,' my daughter is the same age as you. Just call me 'auntie.'"
Shen Manman choked for a moment: "You're married?"
Yeh Tsai-ping: Why can't she get married anymore?
"Hmm, is there a problem?"
Shen Manman paused for a moment: "No. You're... here for my father?"
Ye Caiping paused for a moment, then asked, "Is it that straightforward?"
She had originally planned to get to know the little girl first, feeding her sago pudding today and mango pomelo sago pudding tomorrow... gradually building rapport before mentioning how regrettable it was that her nephew couldn't find a good teacher. She wanted the girl to introduce them...
To her surprise, the other party didn't even give her time to spend together.
Ye Caiping couldn't very well deny it, otherwise it would be embarrassing if they came after her again.
Ye Caiping nodded: "Yes, yes."
Shen Manman raised an eyebrow. Was she admitting it so bluntly?
Looking into Ye Caiping's sincere eyes, she paused for a moment, then finally nodded: "Go after my father, that's fine. But this kind of thing depends on your own sincerity; I can't help you."
After saying that, he stood up, turned around and left.
Ye Caiping paused for a moment, then chased after her: "Hey, young lady, can you help me? Just introduce me to someone."
But Chen Manman had already left the house and soon disappeared into the crowd.
Manager Chi walked up to Ye Caiping and sighed, "See? It's hard to talk to a young lady from such a noble family."
Ye Caiping thought for a moment: "No, that's not right. She just said it depends on my sincerity, so there's a chance. If she comes again tomorrow, I'll make her something delicious."
With enough effort, there's no goal you can't conquer.
"By the way, Madam Ye, I've used your spice packet," said Manager Chi.
Ye Caiping's eyes lit up: "How was the effect?"
"It doesn't taste the same as what you delivered. As for sales, it's just so-so."
Ye Caiping nodded, indicating her understanding.
After all, the flavor of seasoning packets varies from person to person and depends on the chef's technique.
Her cooking skills were already very good, so even if Du or Wei were to cook for her later, as long as the portions were as specified by her, the quality wouldn't be much different.
...
Shen Manman and Xiao Qiu were walking home.
Xiao Qiu said, "I wonder where Master got these peach blossoms."
Shen Manman said calmly, "There are thousands of peach blossoms, but not one of them can bear fruit."
"But that woman just got married and has a child. Why would she still be after the master?"
"Then she must be a widow. That's better than someone like Ji Qing, at least she can do whatever she wants and admit it."
Xiao Qiu agreed wholeheartedly: "That's true. That Miss Ji is only two years older than Miss, yet she wants to be Miss's stepmother. But she pretends that's not what she really wants."
...
On his way home, Ye Daquan sighed:
"Little sister, let's just forget about Xuan'er becoming a disciple. You don't have to be so subservient to anyone."
Thinking about how Ye Caiping made sweets for that little girl and tried to please her, Ye Daquan felt heartbroken.
Ye Caiping chuckled and said, "It's just about lowering your stance. You always have to do this when asking for favors. We're not some arrogant genius who can trample the whole world under our feet. Living in this world, it's always unavoidable to lower your stance."
Ye Daquan still looked unwilling: "At least we can skip this matter. Let Xuan'er take the county school exam, why bother with this? Anyway, we can't let you suffer."
“What’s this? You used to borrow money from one place after another for me. That’s what it means to be humble and to suffer.
"That's only right! I can suffer for my little sister, but she can't suffer for us."
Ye Caiping scolded him irritably, "You're saying things like that again. Whether it's your sister-in-law or Yong'er and Xuan'er, they are your closest relatives. You should cherish them more."
"I think my little sister is the closest to me..."
Ye Caiping was speechless. Fortunately, Madam Du wasn't here, otherwise she would have beaten him to death.
Why couldn't she turn him around after trying for so long?
That's enough, I'm exhausted.
If you can bend it, then bend it; if you can't, then just leave it!
As long as she treats everyone fairly in the family, there won't be any major conflicts.
...
When Ye Caiping returned home, she saw Ye Jin'er looking out from the doorway.
"Mother, you're back!" Ye Jin'er rushed forward.
"Be careful!" Ye Daquan brought the oxcart to a safe stop.
"What's wrong?" Ye Caiping asked.
"At the workshop... everyone was a bit listless this morning, and Uncle Xiniu came to talk to you a few times later." Ye Jin'er looked troubled.
Ye Xiniu? Although they share the same surname Ye, Ye Xiniu is quite distant from their family and is an extremely cheerful person.
"I bet it's Liu Decai spreading rumors outside, making everyone think all sorts of things," Ye Jin'er said.
Soon, the oxcart drove into the workshop.
As soon as Ye Caiping got out of the car and went inside, she saw Ye Xiniu and several other employees walking over.
"Caiping, you're back?" Ye Xiniu said with a smile.
"Brother Xi Niu, I heard you need to talk to me."
Ye Xiniu looked somewhat embarrassed and said with a smile, "I just wanted to ask when the goods will be shipped."
Ye Caiping knew what they were worried about, and said to those around her, "Everyone come over here, I have a few words to say."
Soon, nearly thirty people gathered around.
Ye Caiping said loudly, "I already said last time that there's no need to worry about shipping. We need to give customers time to try it out. Don't listen to the nonsense from outsiders."
Most of the employees believed in her, but a few, represented by Ye Xiniu, were still very worried.
Ye Caiping continued, "Just do your job well, and you won't lose a single penny of your wages. I'm right here, and the house and workshop are still here, so I can't run away. If things really come to this, you can just demolish my house and still get your wages back."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
That's true. You can run away from the monk, but you can't hide from the temple. Besides, this temple is newly built, so nobody is willing to run away.
"Alright, everyone go back to work!" Ye Caiping clapped her hands.
Ye Caiping didn't rest and went straight to work in the ingredient preparation room.
Put the ground ingredients into the container according to the proportions, pour a few times, and all the ingredients will be mixed.
Then she went to the office next door to look at the ledgers and opened the system panel.
She has already made two purchases since the last upgrade.
One transaction involved a glass crystal paperweight, another involved coconut milk, and she still had forty-five taels left to use, meaning she only had one last chance to make a transaction.
Ye Caiping was somewhat worried.
She invested a lot of money in the workshop, and now she only has a little over two hundred taels left, which is not enough to upgrade.
The remaining forty-five taels cannot be used to buy Sichuan peppercorns; instead, they must be used to resell other goods to make money.
The best option would be to sell glassware; if you're bold enough, you could make a thousand taels.
However, since she had decided to give the glass crystal paperweight to Master Shen, it was not advisable for other glass products to appear on the market.
Thinking it over, Ye Caiping directly bought three fifty-year-old ginseng roots from the system.
