Chapter 26: Repaying Money
Bai Zhixi continued excitedly, "Originally, when I was passing by Jinghua Hotel, I didn’t plan to go there at all. Such a big hotel, how could they be interested in our pickles? Those pickles are just for ordinary people, rich people definitely go for exotic delicacies.
Just as I was about to walk past, a young man rushed out from inside, the same one who talked to you yesterday at the County Hotel. That young man stopped me and asked if I was Wan Chu’er’s mother."
Hearing this, Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but clench her teeth in her heart. What on earth does Manager Bai want to do, why does he keep lingering around?
"I didn’t recognize that young man at first and was quite puzzled. When did you meet such a young man? He’s quite old already, but he was very enthusiastic, taking the initiative to say that he had tried our family’s pickled cucumbers at the County Hotel and liked them very much. He asked us to deliver five kilograms of pickles every day, one kilogram each of pickled cucumbers, lotus roots, sour beans, pickled radish, and five-spice peanuts."
Bai Zhixi was very delighted, feeling quite favorable towards Manager Bai, "Right, Xiao Bai also said that if our pickles sell well at Jinghua Hotel, they would increase the order and introduce our pickles to other places. He’s truly a good kid."
Wan Chu’er raised an eyebrow: "Xiao Bai?"
"Yes, the young man said his last name is Bai, and asked me to call him Xiao Bai," said Bai Zhixi.
Wan Chu’er chuckled sarcastically, still Xiao Bai?! Really shameless, deceiving a middle-aged woman.
One of these days when she has time, she needs to find this little pretty boy and ask him what he really wants.
That same afternoon, Bai Zhixi got busy. She washed the cucumbers she bought in the morning twice, then dried them, cut them into pieces, and mixed them with seasoning... Thinking all these would be converted into money, Bai Zhixi felt energized and very excited. She didn’t let Wan Chu’er help, instead she sent her daughter to the room to study diligently.
