Chapter 65 Qixi Festival
"Young master, our Sweet Shop’s rock sugar is about to sell out. Do you think we should restock?"
"What? Didn’t we just restock a hundred pounds the other day? It’s sold out so quickly?"
First thing in the morning, Uncle Li reported some good news to him.
"Isn’t it almost Qixi Festival? All the young ladies and wives in the city are starting to prepare sweets to honor the Qiao Immortal, and lots of gift exchanges and gatherings need frosting," Uncle Li explained.
"Qixi Festival, honoring the Qiao Immortal?"
Lu Zheng blinked. In Huaxia, the Qixi Festival was basically Valentine’s Day, commemorating Niu Lang and Zhi Nu, symbolizing love. What’s with the Qixi Festival in the Great Jing Dynasty?
Could there also be a legend of Niu Lang and Zhi Nu?
"Yes!" Uncle Li nodded, "Young master, you seem to have forgotten it. The Qixi Festival is just three days away."
Speaking of this, Uncle Li leaned in mischievously, "The Qixi Festival is also the day when young ladies give gifts to their sweethearts. If the man has mutual affection, he’ll reciprocate with a gift.
I bet Miss Liu’s sachet is already prepared. Young master, don’t forget to prepare a gift!"
Lu Zheng gave a rigid smile and tentatively asked, "What kind of gift should I give in return then?"
