Chu Xuhua sat down, placing a form in front of him and holding a pen. He asked the merchant sitting opposite, “What would you like to buy?”

The merchant, a shopkeeper, was interested in ice. “How much is your ice per catty?”

Chu Xuhua pulled out a sheet from the drawer, showing it to the shopkeeper. “This is the price of all our items. Take a look.”

The shopkeeper’s eyes scanned the list, stopping at the ice. It was priced at ninety copper coins per catty, with a bonus of ten catties for every thousand catties purchased. The maximum purchase was ten thousand catties, requiring five days’ advance order.

Given the city’s ice price of one tael per catty, ninety copper coins was a bargain. Anyone genuinely interested in buying ice would be tempted.

The shopkeeper was skeptical, “Can your family really supply so much ice?”

Chu Xuhua assured, “As per the contract, buyers order in advance. If we fail to deliver, we’ll return the deposit. You need not worry.”

The shopkeeper cautiously inquired, “Will what you said be written in the contract?”

“Yes, don’t worry about that.” Chu Xuhua handed the contract to the merchant. “Take a look. This is the contract we drafted.”

The shopkeeper scrutinized it, joined by others interested in ice. Seeing this, Chu Xuhua handed out price lists and draft contracts to everyone.

“Take your time. If you have questions, just ask.”

With that, he asked the person beside him, “May I ask what you want to buy?”

It was a woman. She looked at the price list. “I want to order fifty apple pies. My mother’s fiftieth birthday is in half a month.”

“Sure.” Chu Xuhua dipped the brush in ink and said, “What’s your name?”

“Zhang Xiaoqin.”

After asking, Chu Xuhua filled in the form and handed it to the woman. “See if there are any problems. If not, write your name at the end.”

Zhang Xiaoqin nodded. “Okay.”

At the side, Shen Ruyue took out another form and recorded Zhang Xiaoqin’s order information. When the time came, the workshop would proceed based on this information.

Things went on in an orderly manner.

On stage, Chu Qingzhi was showcasing the fifteenth business’s products, Li’s porcelain. After the fifteenth, she would present some major sponsors’ products, starting with Li’s.

Backstage, Chu Qingzhi asked dancers to arrange Li’s porcelain on trays for display.

Suddenly, someone asked, “Why is this one broken?”

Chu Qingshuang and Li Shaoliang hurriedly walked over to take a look. Their expressions turned ugly.

Chu Qingshuang was so anxious that she was about to cry. “Fifth Sister, what should we do? This is the most expensive porcelain in this batch. It’s worth five thousand taels. Now that it’s broken, not only can it not be displayed, but it’s also a huge loss.”

Li Shaoliang frowned. “Everything else isn’t broken. Why is the most expensive broken?”

Yan Yanrong, who was standing outside the crowd, snorted softly. A hint of schadenfreude flashed across her eyes. Let’s see what you can do now!

Chu Qingzhi frowned slightly and asked, “Is there a substitute?”

Chu Qingshuang shook her head and frowned. “No, this porcelain batch was transported carefully. No one expected it to break.”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment. It would take fifteen minutes to return to the Li family from the Guangxi Garden. She could stall for time. “Hurry up and go back to get the substitute. I’ll change the order of the display for you.”

Chu Qingshuang nodded helplessly. “I’ll go back and get it immediately. Thank you, Fifth Sister.”

Chu Qingzhi reassured her sibling, “Go quickly, it’s fine.”

Below the stage, when Li Zhenzong saw that Chu Qingzhi was not displaying their porcelain, the smile on his face disappeared.

He had been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time. Why did they change it at this juncture?

He immediately rushed backstage. Now that Chu Qingshuang and Li Shaoliang had gone back, only Yan Yanrong and an assistant were waiting.

Li Zhenzong asked Yan Yanrong what was going on.

Yan Yanrong immediately added fuel to the fire and said, “Chu Qingzhi said that our porcelain is not good enough, so she changed the display order…”

When Li Zhenzong heard this, his anger immediately surged. “Our family has given her so many things, but she changed them just like that. Isn’t she too disrespectful?”

Yan Yanrong thought to herself, “I hate the Chu family and Chu Qingshuang. It’s best to chase Chu Qingshuang out of the Li family.”

Yan Yanrong added fuel to the fire. “Master, you’re Chu Qingshuang’s master, but they treated you like this. Clearly, they did it on purpose.”

When Li Zhenzong heard this, he was fuming. “I’ll definitely settle scores with the Chu family later.”

Outside, after Chu Qingzhi displayed the items, many people immediately went to buy them.

Li Zhenzong asked angrily, “Where are Chu Qingshuang and Li Shaoliang?”

Yan Yanrong shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Li Zhenzong rushed out of the backstage and wanted to argue with Chu Qingzhi, but he felt that he could not afford to lose face, so he went around to look for Chu Qingshuang and Li Shaoliang.

He looked around but couldn’t find them.

“If I had known that these two were so unreliable, I wouldn’t have handed such an important matter to them back then.” Li Zhenzong was extremely regretful.

It was easy for him to lose his mind if he was anxious. After waiting for a while, he still did not see the two of them. Li Zhenzong, who was getting angrier, flicked his sleeves and left the Guangxi Garden.

On the other side, in order to take a shortcut, Chu Qingshuang and Li Shaoliang took another path and did not encounter Li Zhenzong. When they rushed back to the Guangxi Garden, Li Zhenzong had already returned home.

At the eighteenth presentatio, Chu Qingzhi displayed the Li procelain products.

Once it was displayed, many people were interested in the porcelain Chu Qingshuang made.

Ordinary porcelain had flowers and plant patterns on it. No matter how exquisite it was, everyone was tired of it. However, this was the first time they had seen an interesting cute picture. It was interesting and , and it was not bad. Everyone liked it.

After the display, many porcelain wholesalers rushed to the desk and ordered porcelain.

What was even more surprising was that the most expensive porcelain that was worth five thousand taels was bought by a mysterious person. The other porcelain on display were also bought one by one.

Yan Yanrong gritted her teeth hatefully when she saw this.

Chu Yehui and a few friends walked into the Guangxi Garden.ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

A young man immediately came up to them. “Young masters, there are already 20 items displayed. Those that have been displayed will not be displayed again. May I ask what you want to buy? I can bring you there.”

Chu Yehui raised his eyebrows. “I plan to buy something suitable for the restaurant.”

The young man made an inviting gesture. “This way please, Young Master.”

The young man brought Chu Yehui to Chu’s Trade’s office. “Young Master, their food is delicious, cheap, and . You can try it before you buy it. Take a look.”

Chu Yehui was extremely shocked to see so many people in the queue.

At this moment, there were four small queues in front of the Chu’s Trade’s office. Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang had come to help. It was crowded..
