After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Li Yuanzhi believes that he must be the person who knows Jiang Xiaohua best in the world.

He has always had inexplicable confidence in this aspect.

(ps: In fact, Mr. Li’s intuition is quite accurate, because Jiang Xiaohua is traveling on the road to escape, and the only person who has had the most contact with her so far is Li Yuanzhi, except for the four Zaizai)

But now, Li Yuanzhi was shaken for the first time.

He discovered that there was something he didn't know about Jiang Xiaohua.

Li Yuanzhi composed himself and tried to calm down.

Just then the water on the stove was boiling.

This allowed Li Yuanzhi to find something he could do. He took out the tea can and prepared to make tea.

Then he thought that Jiang Xiaohua was still drinking Chinese medicine and was not suitable for drinking tea, so he simply stopped drinking it.

Li Yuanzhi poured boiling water into the thermos pot and poured two cups of hot water on the table.

"Mrs. Jiang, please drink some water before leaving. It will be good for you to drink more water now."

Jiang Xiaohua is bending down to look at the glass bottle placed in the corner.

Hearing this, he turned around and looked at the water on the table, and couldn't help but frown, "Why didn't you make tea?"

"This is tasteless and I can't drink it."

Li Yuanzhi said, "Have you forgotten that you are still taking medicine? It's really not appropriate to drink tea."

"Please bear with me for the next three days. Even if you go to the teahouse today, you can't drink."

Jiang Xiaohua was stunned, her face fell, and she lamented, "What? Can't drink tea?"

Li Yuanzhi had no room for accommodation and added, "You can't eat anything spicy or grilled."

"For example, the spiced barbecue made by the Hu people."

Jiang Xiaohua didn't have any objections to this, "It doesn't matter, the owner of the teahouse is very picky anyway."

"These smoky and greasy food cannot enter his teahouse."

She had seen the menu of the teahouse last time.

In addition to various exquisite snacks, there are also tea dishes.

They are all refreshing dishes that are also suitable for making tea, such as secret fennel beans, snowflake chicken marrow and bamboo shoots, emerald cabbage and shrimp rolls, peony noodles, boiled dried shreds in soup...

Jiang Xiaohua was interested in trying it out at that time.

It just so happens that the guest we are hosting this time is originally from Huainan and likes light food.

It so happened that she had already decided on today's banquet and made a reservation in advance according to the tea house's rules.

It was just an impromptu decision last night to add another purpose to the purpose of the trip from a formal thank you.

Jiang Xiaohua continued to look at the glass bottle.

Various bottles were placed on the ground and lined up in two rows against the wall.

Because she still had to go out, Jiang Xiaohua had no time to pick them up one by one and take a closer look, so she could only take a quick look at them first.

"The bottles you picked are quite practical in size."

"The big one is suitable for toner, and the smaller one can be used for essence, deodorant, etc."

"Hey, is this bottle stopper made of glass?"

Li Yuanzhi said, "Glass-stoppered bottles are more expensive."

"Because the smaller the thing, the harder it is to make."

Jiang Xiaohua nodded to express her understanding, "I found that the transparency is also different."

"But looking at this, the price difference should be huge."

Li Yuanzhi said, "This is natural. The clearer the glass, the more expensive it is."

"That's why I brought more samples and came back for you to choose."

Jiang Xiaohua suddenly thought of the key, "By the way, the money I gave you shouldn't be enough to buy so much, right?"

Li Yuanzhi took a sip of water and couldn't help but frown slightly.

He stood up, opened the cabinet next to him, took out a bottle of sugar osmanthus, and said:

"With the money you gave me, except for food and accommodation, I spent the rest on renting donkey carts."

Jiang Xiaohua was confused, "How did you get these bottles? On credit?"

Li Yuanzhi said calmly, "It's not a credit. The glassmaker I chose promised me to take the glass bottle away as a sample."

"Wait for you to take a look and choose. Keep what you want."

"If you don't want it, you can return it in its original condition as long as there is no damage."

"And I also promised him that we will purchase all the glass bottles we need in large quantities from him in the future."

Jiang Xiaohua asked again, "For taking so many samples, they should charge you a deposit."

"What if you take something and never come back?"

Li Yuanzhi originally had no intention of mentioning this matter alone, but Jiang Xiaohua had already asked to this point.

He could only write lightly, "I deposited something for him."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Jiang Xiaohua thought that if things went so smoothly, the mortgage must be something valuable.

She originally wanted to ask him what exactly he mortgaged.

Li Yuanzhi didn't give her a chance to speak, "Boss Jiang will spend a lot of money this time."

"I was afraid that the glass would be broken on the road, so I used a lot of cotton wool to stuff the package."

"So it doesn't matter that there are only these bottles, but four donkey carts were used. The money you gave me happened to be completely empty."

"And the horse I rode, although I have returned it as soon as possible."

"But it's hard to say whether the deposit paid before is enough. You have to go and settle the bill in person."

Jiang Xiaohua smiled gratefully, "Compared to the great things you accomplished this time with so much hard work."

"It's just small things that I spend money on."

"But if the thing you mortgaged is very valuable, we'd better do it as soon as possible..."

Li Yuanzhi took over the conversation calmly, "Carpenter Qin said it."

"Comparing the samples you picked out, he can't guarantee that each one will be exactly the same."

"But he can definitely make something that is similar to the quality and ensure that the quantity can be supplied."

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, "Handmade, of course not all of them are the same."

She wanted to mention the mortgage again.

Li Yuanzhi gave her a glass of warm water.

"Aren't you in a hurry? Just drink water and go."

"I've added some sugar and osmanthus to the water, so it won't be bland."

Jiang Xiaohua took the water glass and drank it in one gulp, "Well, thank you."

She didn't mention the collateral again, and just smiled gratefully at Li Yuanzhi.

"Okay, then I'll go out first. Wait for the glass bottles when I come back, and we can pick them out together."

Because she knew very well that no one could ask Li Yuanzhi anything he didn't want to say.

It's better to forget it for now, since there will be plenty of opportunities to repay him in the future.

After Jiang Xiaohua left, Li Yuanzhi held the bowl of water still smelling of osmanthus and stayed there with a smile on his lips for a while.

Then she suddenly realized that she had forgotten to ask, who was she going to meet today?

Unnamed teahouse.

Jiang Xiaohua had an appointment this time and got in smoothly.

She waited for a while in the private room upstairs.

Then I heard the waiter knocking on the door, "Boss Jiang, your guest has arrived."

Jiang Xiaohua stood up happily and walked towards the door, "Please come in quickly!"

The door opened from the outside, and a woman smiled at Jiang Xiaohua and cupped her hands, "Congratulations, Madam Jiang, for becoming Boss Jiang!"

The person who came was none other than Song E.

Jiang Xiaohua also smiled, reached out to hold her hand, and walked into the house affectionately.

"I was able to successfully buy the shop thanks to the clear path you gave me."

However, Song E was not greedy for credit and said sincerely, "No, I just gave you a suggestion."

"If things can be done, you still have the ability."
