Seeing this, Zhiyin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Instead of staying with them, he couldn't wait to go back to his room and take out two letters to read.
When she read the first letter, she was both excited and nervous. After reading the entire letter without blinking, the corners of her mouth kept turning up, and her eyes almost curved into crescent shapes.
"This kid's pretty good! His handwriting is quite nice too, tsk tsk tsk, his handwriting really reflects his personality."
In general, the letter expressed Xing Luxi's longing for her confidante, described the local customs and culture she encountered on the road, inquired about her recent situation, and showed concern for her.
While her heart was filled with passion, Zhiyin couldn't wait to sit down at her desk, grind her brush, and begin to carefully consider her reply.
"Hehe, all done!"
After finishing writing, Zhiyin admired his own handwriting.
Then he fed the little pigeon that delivered the message a big chunk of meat, saying, "Go on, thank you for your hard work."
Then, I rolled the letter around its paw, happily patted its feathers, and signaled that it could go.
She then picked up the second letter, which was from Li Dachuan. After reading it, she immediately began to ponder.
"Many people from other places want to buy chili powder..."
Chili powder has actually been popular ever since Zhiyin popularized various ways to eat potatoes, including fried potatoes, stir-fried potatoes, braised potatoes with meat, etc.
Many people joined in and made it, adding another dish to their meals.
But they mostly stir-fry potato shreds with green peppers and rarely use chili powder.
Now, several months later, with the widespread popularity of dry pot restaurants and potato chips, chili powder has also spread throughout the country, which surprised her.
"If that's the case, then the factory might need to be expanded!"
After all, she had no doubt that once someone tasted the deliciousness of chili powder, they would never be able to give it up.
"Yinyin~ Someone's looking for you!!"
Just then, the village head's urgent voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Although Zhiyin was puzzled, she quickly went outside.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw the village head, who was beaming with health, and next to him a kind, dignified middle-aged man in a dark robe.
The man's face lit up with joy when he saw his soulmate, and he rushed over to greet her.
"Oh my, you must be the manager of Zhiyin Shop? I've heard so much about you!"
He politely and humbly handed a gift box he had brought to Zhiyin with both hands, saying, "I apologize for disturbing you, and I hope you won't be angry, Manager Zhiyin."
"It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it with a smile."
Zhiyin admitted that she was momentarily stunned. Looking at the gift box that had been forced into her hands, she quickly declined.
"May I ask what brings you here, sir? Do we know each other?"
She spoke hesitantly, racking her brains, but still couldn't recall when she had crossed paths with him.
"Oh, it's like this. I'm the butler of the Xiao family in the provincial capital. You can just call me Butler Xiao, young lady. I heard you made a cake last time? And you're good at making all sorts of novel foods?"
Shopkeeper Xiao asked expectantly and curiously. Although it was a question, his voice was full of certainty, clearly indicating that he had checked Zhiyin beforehand.
Zhiyin raised an eyebrow and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, that's right!"
"Oh, then I've come to the right person."
Upon hearing this, Butler Xiao immediately grinned, clapped his hands, and was overjoyed.
Before his friend could speak, he immediately began to introduce himself with great enthusiasm and eloquence, "It's like this, our old master Xiao is about to celebrate his 60th birthday, so we would like to ask you to help prepare a banquet!"
"Just make it a lively affair, don't worry, money is not a problem!"
Here's a deposit!
As he spoke, he casually pulled out a two-hundred-tael silver note from his bag.
"As long as it satisfies our master, there will be a generous reward after it's done. The main thing is that our master likes to eat all sorts of strange things and enjoys different experiences, so we'll have to ask you to put in some extra effort."
"oh oh…"
The friend suddenly realized and nodded in understanding. So it meant money was coming!
She looked at the two hundred taels of silver notes and was instantly delighted. Although she was not short of money now, who would complain about having too much silver?
What's more, this is just a deposit, and there will be more to come. I must say, these prestigious families are really generous.
However, the provincial capital is more than 200 kilometers away from Xinghe County, which would probably take a day and a night by horse-drawn carriage.
That would be a perfect opportunity to open a milk tea shop and a branch there.
Having thought this through, Zhiyin immediately smiled brightly and invited the person into the house, "Of course, Butler Xiao, let's come in and talk slowly."
"Haha, you're too kind, Manager Zhi."
Butler Xiao said this, but walked in without any politeness.
"It's like this, my grandfather's birthday is in two weeks, I wonder if you could come with me in advance?"
"Some important figures may be coming, so we can't be negligent or make any mistakes. We need to set off early."
He looked at Zhiyin with a serious and solemn expression and began to speak.
"How much earlier? Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Zhiyin immediately frowned. Wasn't this too hasty?
Butler Xiao glanced at Zhiyin with a conflicted expression, then lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "The latest is the day after tomorrow!!"
He looked at Zhiyin a little embarrassed after he finished speaking, "I'm mainly worried that if this goes on for too long, more trouble will arise."
"Okay, sure."
Upon hearing this, Zhiyin realized that having two days was more than enough time to experiment with and write down the relevant methods and procedures for barbecuing.
