Sell 24

  Here is the translation:

  "Today, I went to the town with my father and inquired about some familiar people. Who would have thought that there was a family in Hsinchu County that had a grudge against the Wu family? The two families were equally matched, both being large clans in Hsinchu County, and they often had friction in business dealings. After making further inquiries, we went to a wine house called Mingyue Wine House, which belonged to that family, in the afternoon. Although the manager of Mingyue Wine House was not someone we knew well, he was familiar with us. His name was Zuo Li, and he was a member of the Zuo family's branch who had been sent by his clan to manage Mingyue Wine House. Manager Zuo treated us warmly and personally welcomed us into a private room. We then took out our new bamboo leaf green tea in line with the atmosphere. After tasting it, Manager Zuo immediately said he wanted to cooperate with our White family. The price was also easy to discuss, as Manager Zuo was a straightforward person - after hesitating for just a moment at 100 wen, he immediately agreed. We finalized the deal, and tomorrow we will transport all of White family's existing bamboo leaf green tea to Mingyue Wine House."

  Bai Ping finished speaking and finally took a breath, busily picking up water to drink in big gulps.

  On the other side, Bai Qi was not as excited as Bai Ping, but his expression was also extremely joyful. It seems that today's events were extremely smooth, which is a rare good thing in these unlucky days.

  "This is it, our White family's difficult days are finally going to slowly pass. The days ahead will get better and better, everything will be fine."

  Wang also couldn't think of too many twists and turns, only knowing that this was a great thing. Moreover, looking at the happy faces of Bai Qi and his father, full of comfort and smiles. If it weren't for the current financial constraints, she would have wanted to prepare a table of good dishes and some good wine to celebrate.

  On the other side, Liu Shi Xiu Niang and others were also delighted, with joy written all over their faces.

  An Yan stood on one side, her eyes soft and gentle, with a warm smile on her face.

  "If calculated at one hundred coins per jar, there are twenty-three jars in total, which is two taels and three mace of silver."

  This and what the Bai family originally prepared should add up to five taels of silver. It's still not enough, but there are still twenty days left, so there's no need to worry.

  "Yes, adding what our White family had saved up before, we now have a total of five taels and seven mace in silver coins, which is very close to ten taels."

  Bai Qi's gaze fell warmly on An Yan's body, carrying a soothing and loving power.

  "Our family's traditional bamboo leaf green brewing takes about fifteen days, but the new and improved version only needs one day. At this rate, we can brew another batch within a month. For now, let's put aside the farm work and just have someone check on it every day. In the coming days, everyone will work together to start brewing. This time, we need to brew a large quantity of bamboo leaf green, I estimate around 500 jars."

  "Five hundred jars?"

  The Liu family couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Normally, they would brew fifty jars at a time, and occasionally, when sales were good, they would brew one hundred jars. But now, they were actually going to brew five hundred jars, which was truly astonishing to the entire Bai family.

  He thought that if the secret recipe for brewing was discovered, they would not be able to make this money. So, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make more. In his heart, because of his father's affairs, he couldn't help but feel worried and uneasy. Now, with the new green bamboo shoots just coming out, it was a good time to make a big profit.

  Everyone in their hearts is also delighted, now not only can the debt of ten taels of silver be resolved easily, but the Bai family's days will also get better and better.

  "Tomorrow, let's have Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law accompany me to Hsinchu County to buy the medicinal herbs needed for brewing."

  He spoke on one side, thinking in his heart how to buy without letting people guess the formula. After all, there were only four more medicinal materials, and as long as he checked lightly, he would know.

  "Okay, I'll go with Qīniáng tomorrow to accompany our cousin."

  Bai Ping immediately happily agreed as soon as he heard this errand.

  But Bai Qi slightly furrowed his brow at this time, just as he was about to entrust something to An Yan, but when he saw the caution and contemplation in An Yan's eyes, he stopped what he was going to say. He remembered An Yan's changes over the past few days, as well as the strategy of "one arrow, two hawks" she had just mentioned. Such a clever niece would naturally think of guarding against others trying to pry out the secret formula.

  At this moment, he was thinking about how to prevent others from knowing the secret formula too early, and for a while, he had a countermeasure. Although it would cost some extra money, as long as he could keep the new Zhuyeqing secret formula safe, he would soon double his earnings.

  In the evening, with Bai Qi's nod, Liu brought Hua back to the butcher's shop at the village head and cut a piece of meat. An Yan was also in a good mood and personally went to the kitchen to prepare a big table of delicious dishes. There were juicy meat buns, fragrant braised pork, and crispy vegetables. From then on, the Bai family had a new understanding of An Yan's culinary skills. Everyone ate these delicious dishes, and they couldn't help but swallow their own tongues in satisfaction.

  At that time, Bai Ping even joked that if An Yan cooked every day in the future, then everyone in the Bai family would probably become fat.

  An Wen just smiled and remained silent after hearing these words.

  Her culinary skills were already excellent in modern times, and it's no exaggeration to say that the dishes she knew covered all four seas.

  In those disheartened and helpless days, she packed her bags alone and traveled extensively throughout the eastern regions of the Yangtze River. During that time, she gained an understanding of different cultures in various regions and learned about local specialties. Those were beautiful and peaceful days. If she could go back, she would continue her journey, continuing the unfinished trip.

  Wang heard Bai Ping's words, and her eyes flashed slightly. What kind of person Tang Jinxiu was, they had personally experienced it before. However, in these short few days, Tang Jinxiu, who came back from the Ghost Gate, seemed to have changed into a completely different person, becoming so dazzlingly beautiful. Wang lowered her head and quietly ate, swallowing her doubts deep down. Whatever happened during that time was already in the past and couldn't be changed. What they needed to care about was their current life, not continuing to entangle themselves with the past.

  In the blink of an eye, she caught a glimpse of Wang's gaze, and her heart let out a soft sigh. This was what An Yan owed to the Bai family. After clearing the debt of ten taels that belonged to Tang Jin Xiu, she would continue to work hard, making the Bai family's days slowly get better. This was how she would repay the Bai family for their unwavering support, allowing her to find a quiet place in this unfamiliar world where she could settle down and be at peace.

  She smiled quietly, with a relaxed and smiling expression at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, as if she were a snow lotus on Mount Tian, elegant and charming.

  She is the snow lotus on Mount Tian, so solitary and proud, yet with a surface as warm and soft as can be. Inside, however, lies a heart of steel. At the same time, she is also lonely, embracing her own pride in solitude, quietly blooming with her own radiance in desolate places. She has never felt loneliness, for she has never experienced the feeling of not being lonely.

  Her face always carries that serene three-point smile, her elegant eyes are quiet like a deep and deep lake, making people can't help but deeply drunk.

  Such a woman should be dazzlingly beautiful, shouldn't she?
