Shen Ruyue was experienced and knew that no matter who received the Emperor’s reward, they would hold a banquet to express their gratitude towards the Emperor

The village chief took over the job. “Qingzhi, 1’11 help you arrange this. I promise to do it beautifully.”

When something big happened in the village, the village chief would always be the one handling it. However, they would usually need to ask the village chief for help. Now, it was the village chief who took the initiative to help.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Thank you, Village Chief.”

Chu Laipi rushed over like an arrow. “Fifth Sister, let us help you go buy groceries.”

Chu Peipei also raised his hand. “1’11 go too.”

The two famous hooligans in the village had already turned over a new leaf. The bamboo forest on the mountain was handed over to the two of them to manage. Now, the two of them made a living by selling the leaves. Their life was looking better and they no longer caused trouble. They even addressed Chu Qingzhi as Fifth Sister.

The village chief teased, “Did the sun rise from the west today? Why are the two of you so enthusiastic to help?”

Chu Peipei was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, “Hehe, we just want to help. We don’t want to be freeloaders.”

Everyone chatted and laughed as they got busy.

Tongzi County.

Tongzi County was about the same size as Shuiyun County. Chu Xuhua decided to seek clients from this place first.

At this moment, he was walking on the street.

He was wearing a dark blue robe today. His eyebrows were thick, and his eyes were dark and bright. Coupled with his tall figure, he was very eye-catching on the street.

The girls passing by were attracted to him.

Although he looked calm, his palms were sweating and he was very nervous.

Chu Third followed to boost his courage. The young man was dressed in navy blue clothes and the fabric was very good. He was handsome and had a smile on his face. It was very easy to feel close to him. In the village, he was especially liked by the old and the young.

“Brother, there are a total of three relatively large restaurants in the county. Which one should we go to first?”

Chu Xuhua pointed ahead. “Binghong Restaurant.”

Chu Third looked over nervously. “Brother, do you think we can make it?”

Chu Xuhua was also worried, but he acted very confidently. “We’ll know when we try. Have you forgotten what Fifth Sister told us?”

Chu Third puffed out his chest. A smile appeared on his tanned face. “Brother, we will definitely succeed.”

Chu Xuhua nodded. “Yes.”

The brothers cheered each other on and walked into Binhong Restaurant.

Seeing that the two of them were dressed well, the waiter greeted them warmly. “Sirs, please come in.”

Chu Xuhua entered the restaurant and glanced around. He said, “Buddy, I’m looking for your shopkeeper. Is he here?”

The waiter glanced at Chu Xuhua. “Yes, 1’11 go get him immediately.”

Chu Third looked around…

The tables and chairs in this restaurant were visibly worn.

Not only was the staircase leading to the second floor severely worn, but it also had small cracks.

A layer of dust had accumulated on the surrounding curtains. Everything in the shop was showing that this was a restaurant that had been open for a long time.

Currently, there were no customers in the restaurant. There were more than ten waiters. They were all cleaning, placing chopsticks, and busy preparing to open for business.

Chu Third retracted his gaze and thought to himself, “This restaurant’s business is not bad. It’s very likely that they will buy our rice dumplings.”

The shopkeeper walked out from the inner room and sized up the two brothers with a pair of bright eyes. These shopkeepers were all smart people and were very polite. “Young brothers, are you looking for me?”

Chu Xuhua said politely, “We’re the ones looking for you.”

“Come and sit here.” The shopkeeper led the brothers to a seat beside the counter. There were a few stools there, and the three of them sat on them.

The shopkeeper looked at Chu Xuhua and said, “Why are you looking for me?”

Chu Xuhua took the food box from Chu Third’s hand and opened it. He showed the rice dumpling to the shopkeeper. “Shopkeeper, this is our family’s rice dumpling. Are you interested?”

The shopkeeper understood what Chu Xuhua meant. He took out a rice dumpling from the food box. The rice dumpling was still warm. He sniffed it first and felt that it was alright. “Can I open it and take a look?”

Chu Xuhua hurriedly said, “Sure, sure. This is for you to try.”

The shopkeeper opened the rice dumpling and a fragrance that he had never smelled before assaulted his face. He took a small bite and slowly chewed and tasted it. The meat was fragrant and soft. The taste was not bad.

Chu Xuhua asked tentatively, “Shopkeeper, how is it?”

The shopkeeper nodded. “Not bad. How much are you selling it for?”

Chu Xuhua said, “Twenty-five copper coins each.”

The expression on the shopkeeper’s face immediately became flat.

“Twenty-five copper coins is a little expensive. Moreover, this is something new. I don’t know if the people in the county can accept it.”

Chu Xuhua hurriedly said, “It’s not expensive. We always sell at this price. Everyone likes it in Shuiyun County.”

The shopkeeper thought for a moment. “Fifteen copper coins each. 1 can order a thousand every day.”

Chu Xuhua closed the food box. “Boss, are you serious about discussing business with us?”

The shopkeeper’s eyes were bright. “Of course I’m serious. It’s just that the price is a little too high.”

Chu Third looked at the shopkeeper. This person’s eyes were small, and he looked like someone who liked to take advantage of others. “Brother, let’s go.”

Chu Xuhua was unwilling to sell his rice dumplings so cheaply, so he stood up. “Then we’ll take our leave first.”

The shopkeeper was still very polite. “Take care. If you’re willing to sell it for fifteen copper coins, you can come back and look for me.”

The two brothers quickly walked away. They wouldn’t sell their rice dumplings at a low price.

When the two of them arrived at the second restaurant, the shopkeeper took a look and declined. “Your things look too ordinary. Only exquisite things will be liked by people.”

This dealt a heavy blow to the two of them. They thought that it would be easy, but in the end, they encountered one obstacle after another.

Chu Third sighed and pursed his lips slightly. He was silent for a moment before saying, “Brother, let’s go to the third restaurant.”

“Let’s go.” Chu Xuhua was also a little discouraged. Doing business was not as easy as he thought.

The third restaurant was a little special. The shopkeeper was Chu Xuhua’s childhood playmate, Chu Yehui.

Chu Xuhua knew that Chu Yehui’s family owned a restaurant, but he didn’t know that the restaurant was so big. When he saw Chu Yehui, he waved and shouted, “Yehui.”

When Chu Yehui saw Chu Xuhua, he immediately smiled. “Chu First, why are you here?”

“I’m here to sell rice dumplings.” Chu Xuhua placed the food box on the counter. “Take a look and see if it’s to your liking.”

“Sure.” Since they were from the same village and were playmates, he had to help.

Chu Third sized up Chu Yehui. He was not dressed as luxuriously as the two shopkeepers before him. He was dressed in a simple manner like them. He was tall and had relatively clear facial features. He was a magnanimous person. Yes, this business deal was very likely to be successful..
