The argument quickly caught the attention of Chu Qingzhi, but seeing that Chu Xuhua could handle it, she didn’t stop hosting.

However, Tang Jinghong came over. He didn’t speak immediately.

Xia Wei was causing a scene, “They order so little, and you’re all attentive and flattering. I order more, and you’re not happy. What kind of strange reasoning is this?”

Chu Xuhua calmly responded, “It’s not that we’re unwilling, but it’s beyond our capacity.”ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt

Knowing it was beyond their capacity and still insisting on ordering, the more Chu Xuhua thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

Xia Wei dissatisfiedly said, “I told you, I can accept a longer delivery time. You decide the schedule. Is there still a problem?”

Chu Xuhua thought for a moment, “How about this? You want a thousand catties, we can do it, but in separate orders. We prepare fifty catties at a time, over twenty days, making a total of a thousand catties. How about that?”

Xia Wei decisively refused, “No, I want a thousand catties at once.”

There must be a problem. Chu Xuhua sternly refused, “Sorry, I can’t accept your business.”

Xia Wei left fuming with anger.

Not far away, Li Changle’s face was written with displeasure. They actually refused. It seemed that this plan would not work.

She left Guangxi Garden.

After Xia Wei saw Li Changle leave, she pretended to be very angry, swept her sleeves, and also left.

After her departure, everyone stopped paying attention to her, and the atmosphere quickly became lively again.

In an alley outside, Li Changle slapped Xia Wei across the face, “Useless, you can’t even handle such a small matter.”

Xia Wei covered her face and cried silently. It wasn’t that she couldn’t handle it, but the other party was too vigilant, not like other merchants who would do anything for money.

Li Changle looked at Xia Wei with disgust, “Useless thing, only knows how to cry.”

Xia Wei tightly covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Li Changle looked towards the bustling entrance of Guangxi Garden, her eyes narrowing, and soon she had another plan.

There were five stalls selling guqin in Guangxi Garden. In the morning, Chu Xuyan and others checked out two of them. After lunch, they continued to check the other three, comparing goods from different sellers.

When they reached the fourth guqin stall, several people were busy discussing cooperation with the stall owner.

Yan Yixian and Xu Guannan knew a lot about guqin, so they could choose a good guqin themselves.

Yan Yixian picked up a seemingly decent guqin and asked Xu Guannan, who had an air of a scholarly gentleman, “Guannan, what do you think of this guqin?”

Xu Guannan tuned it a bit and played. The sound was round, uniform, penetrating, with a certain depth and strength, and the touch felt good, “This guqin is not bad.”

The attendant approached and said, “This is a guqin personally crafted by our best guqin maker. It’s our best-selling, made from hundred-year-old Paulownia wood. It’s very good.”

While he was speaking, an old man with white hair came over and stood silently by, listening.

Yan Yixian played the guqin a bit, “The open strings, pressed strings, and harmonics all sound unified. Indeed, it’s a good guqin.”

Chu Xuqiao touched the guqin and then looked up at them, “Why not just take this guqin?”

Chu Xuyan quickly said, “Teachers, please help me pick one too.””

Yan Yixian smiled and nodded, “Okay, I’ll help you pick one.”

Jiang Zhaoyong, standing by, shamelessly said, “Pick one more, please, sirs.”

Xu Guannan smiled, “Aren’t you not fond of playing guqin?”

Remembering the threats from Chu Xuyao, Jiang Zhaoyong quickly said, “I like it now, I like it the most.”

Xu Guannan thought to himself, what prompted this change?

At this moment, the old man beside them clutched his chest and suddenly collapsed to the side.

This scene startled everyone. They quickly stepped back, fearing being falsely accused by the old man for pushing him to the ground.

The old man was breathing rapidly, his face pale, and he fainted on the ground.

“Let’s take him to the free clinic,” Jiang Zhaoyong stepped forward, picked up the old man, and ran towards the clinic.

Chu Xuyan and the others hurriedly followed, hoping nothing serious would happen, as it could definitely affect the reputation of the food festival.

Jiang Zhaoyong placed the old man on a chair, “Quick, check on him. He just fainted while watching.”

The imperial physician quickly took the old man’s pulse, frowning slightly, “He has a heart condition. He fainted due to exhaustion. He’ll be fine after taking some medicine.”

Saying so, he opened his medicine box, took out a pill, and administered it to the old man, who soon regained consciousness.

“Thank you for saving me.”

The imperial physician pointed at Jiang Zhaoyong, “He was the one who carried you here.”

The old man immediately thanked Jiang Zhaoyong, “Young man, thank you so much. How can I repay you?”

“Ah???” Jiang Zhaoyong hadn’t thought about being thanked and was pondering how to respond when Chu Qingning ran over.

Chu Qingning, worried after seeing Jiang Zhaozong carrying an old man to the clinic, came to check. “Zhaoyong, what happened?”

“It’s nothing…” Jiang Zhaoyong briefly explained what happened.

Chu Qingning breathed a sigh of relief, “Good to hear. Then I’ll get back to my work.”

Jiang Zhaoyong nodded, “Okay.”

He then said to the old man, “If you want to thank me, you can spend more at

Guangxi Garden. This food festival is organized by my friend.”

The old man smiled and said, “Sure thing”

After leaving Guangxi Garden, the old man returned to his inn and called his son, “No need to investigate further, just go directly to Guangxi Garden and place orders with Chu’s Trade.”

The old man, named Zhou Xiangfu, was the richest man in the Daling Dynasty.

Zhou Yunlin did not understand. Why did his father decide on it immediately after he came back? “Father, why?”

As the richest family in Daling, the Zhou family was involved in various industries and finding new expansion opportunities was difficult. The father and son were out seeking new breakthroughs.

They had been scouting around and came to Shuiyun County upon hearing about the food festival. They had just arrived that morning. Zhou Yunlin, exhausted, rested at the inn, planning to go later.

Zhou Xiangfu, feeling fine, entered Guangxi Garden to explore and was immediately taken with the food from Chu Qingzhi’s family, having already gathered almost enough information.

Jiang Zhaoyong had just saved him and mentioned being a friend of the Chu family, so Zhou Xiangfu felt he could trust them and decided on the spot.

“I think Chu’s Trade is good. You go and see for yourself later.”

Zhou Yunlin didn’t ask further, “I’ll go right now. If suitable, we’ll choose their family.”

Zhou Xiangfu nodded, “Consider a long-term partnership.”

Zhou Yunlin was surprised, his father was so optimistic about Chu’s Trade?

“Father, I understand.”

After getting ready, Zhou Yunlin left the inn for Guangxi Garden.

The crowded scene at Guangxi Garden immediately gave Zhou Yunlin a good impression of the Chu family. Without some ability, it wouldn’t be possible to attract so many people..
