The county magistrate looked at the Fucheng officials who had higher official positions than him. The surprise in everyone’s eyes was no less than his.
““Everyone who drink Jushui live long, and lived in Taoyuan is immortal! May your happiness be as immense as the East Sea, with longevity as long as the immortal pine trees in the Nanshan Mountains!”
*Jushui = marigold water; Jushui, also known as Jutan, is located in Xixia County, Henan Province today. Legend has it that drinking its water can lead to a long life.
*Taoyuan = the land of Peach Blossoms ; a fictitious land of peace and happiness.
Qing’er copied Su Xiaoxiao’s words and proudly introduced the snacks to the Madams and daughters who were curious.
“Is it Jinji’s snacks?”
Jinji was the largest snack shop in town, and it was the first thing that everyone could think of.
Qing’er hummed, “It’s not! It’s Suji!”
“Suji? A new shop? Never heard of it, ah?”
“Is it a shop in Fucheng, ah?”
“I live in Fucheng, we don’t know a shop called Suji, and even if we do, it’s probably not very famous. I have never tried it.”
“Then where does it come from? It can’t be from the provincial city, right?”
“My brother is studying in the provincial city, and there are no such delicious snacks in the provincial city!”
“It can’t be from the capital, right? The capital is so far away, did the Qi family invite a famous chef from the capital to cook at their house?”
……
After the birthday banquet started, Su Xiaoxiao came out from the Qi family and knew nothing about the sensation caused by the banquet.
The Qi family returned Jinji’s snacks, took their money back, and turned to buy Su Xiaxiao’s snacks.
One hundred salted egg yolk longevity peach cakes, fifty marigold chestnut cakes, fifty longevity cakes, with a total of 20 taels. Old Madam Qi was happy, and rewarded Su Xiaoxiao with another 10 taels.
“Jie*! We earned 30 taels today! 30 taels ah!”
The joy of selling snacks was truly incomparable to blackmailing money!
Su Xiaoxiao was also happy.
In her previous life, she regarded money as dirt, but after she came here, she was really poor, and 30 taels was definitely a huge sum of money to her now.
She had to plan carefully how to use the money.
Compared to the two siblings who had won the battle, Shopkeeper He was like a defeated rooster, disheveled and angry!
“Count yourself lucky this time!”
He gritted his teeth and glared at the two siblings, then he walked towards Jinji’s carriage with a cold face.
Su Xiaoxiao moved her foot carelessly, and a small pebble swished and flew to the foot of Shopkeeper He.
Shopkeeper He’s foot slipped and his head fell first onto the carriage shaft!
“Ouch——”
His forehead was knocked out with a big bump.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, “You need to use eyes when you’re walking ah, Shopkeeper He.”
Shopkeeper He got into the carriage and left in anger!
Su Xiaoxiao planned to go to the market and buy some beans and duck eggs.
However, they had to wait for Liu Ping to come over. Without the donkey cart, it would be difficult for them to bring so many ingredients back to the village.
While waiting for Liu Ping, Shopkeeper Sun also came out from the Qi family’s house.
Facing Su Xiaoxiao again, Shopkeeper Sun has a complicated feeling, with a hint of embarrassment.
Their relationship used to be hostile, who could have imagined that they would one day be able to cooperate together.
He paused and said, “The business deal with Qi family, I will treat this as repaying yesterday’s favor. I, Sun Qian, am indeed snobbish, and my methods are a little dishonorable, but I am not someone who is unable to differentiate good from bad…… I have spoken to the Qi family’s steward, and if there is such a business opportunity again in the future, they will look for you.”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, “You’re not going to find more business deals for yourself?”
Even if he was no longer the shopkeeper of Jinji, but at least his skills were still there. If he really wanted to make a comeback, it was not impossible.
Shopkeeper Sun sighed helplessly, “I have told you, I do this to repay your favor. From now on, I won’t impede your business anymore.”

-Longevity peach cake
-Marigold
-chestnut cake
“Jie*! We earned 30 taels today! 30 taels ah!”
Su Ergou was so excited that he jumped up on the spot!*Jie (姐) : Older sister.
The joy of selling snacks was truly incomparable to blackmailing money!
