Chapter 371 - 368 Mrs. Wang Goes Berserk
Mrs. Wang and Qin Liuxi returned to their own courtyard, saying, "I’ve been too busy recently; I had no idea her illness had become this serious."
Qin Liuxi said, "It’s not your fault. She’s the one who obsessed over trivial matters and worked herself into this state. No one else is to blame."
Mrs. Wang sighed and seeing Qin Liuxi furrowing her brows, knew that she was fed up with these matters, so she said, "You don’t need to worry about this. I will handle it. Right, the shop has already produced several kinds of candied fruits. Try some."
She spread out the candied fruits wrapped in oil paper for Qin Liuxi to taste one by one.
Qin Liuxi picked up a preserved plum and popped it into her mouth. The sour and sweet flavor, tinged with the faint scent of licorice, filled her mouth. She squinted in delight, bit into the flesh of the plum, spat out the pit, and said, "This is the one, it’s done very well."
"Thanks to the two craftsmen you brought back, their skills are impressive. We have the right formula and ample ingredients, and there you go." Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "We’ve only made a few flavors so far, but it’s already October. In two months, the New Year will be upon us, and some people start preparing gifts from now. Even though we don’t have many varieties of candied fruits yet, if we open now and gradually introduce new products, we might catch the wave of New Year’s gifts and quickly establish the shop’s reputation."
"This is the Qin family’s business; you make the decisions."
Hearing her somewhat detached tone, Mrs. Wang’s joy faded a bit, and she felt a little disappointed, but still smiled and said, "Then, could you please pick an auspicious date for the opening?"
This small favor, Qin Liuxi did not refuse and quickly calculated a lucky date—the twelfth day.
"Our shop has already opened, located at Shouxi Square and named Feichang Dao. If you’re free, you can also go and take a look," Qin Liuxi said. "I have to take a long trip soon, for anything urgent you may consult Qi Huang. If a decision can’t be made, it can wait until I return."
"Alright. Be mindful of your safety while you’re outside. It’s getting cold, make sure to dress warmly, young girl," said Mrs. Wang gently.
Qin Liuxi felt a slight warmth in her heart and smiled, nodding her head. She remembered Third Qin’s issues and was about to speak but then stopped. Anyway, there’s no way for Third Qin to return now. Better not to say anything to make these women worry unnecessarily.
