Chapter 151 - 150 Sixth Master, Figure It Out Yourself
Hongzhi listened to Qi Younian’s words, then glanced once more at Ye Xinyan, busy with the crowd, and asked in surprise, "Now that there’s a solution for the milk dregs, why does your wife, Lady Qi, still need the Sixth Master to help find people to work in the dairy business?"
Qi Younian shook his head with a wry smile, "Ye Zi has grand ambitions; making these small snacks is not the result she wants. She aims to transform the milk dregs into a top-tier ingredient that can be widely used in many desserts and meals. These matters are beyond this old man’s understanding, it’s for you young people with active minds to figure out."
Hongzhi hastily set down his teacup and waved his hand, saying, "Old Master Qi, you flatter me too much. Lady Qi is exceptionally intelligent; I dare not compare myself to her. To speak the truth, there aren’t many who can match her."
Those words weren’t just flattery from Hongzhi; the Miss of Duke An’s Mansion was indeed quite formidable. Even he, Hongzhi, who had served the Sixth Master since childhood and was known for being clever and agile, capable of handling tasks, confessed that if he were to suddenly leave home and the Duke’s Mansion to make a living, he would certainly not possess the skills of Miss Ye, and would likely not even measure up to a fraction of her abilities.
The lavish praise Hongzhi heaped upon Ye Xinyan made Old Master Qi so pleased that he couldn’t stop smiling.
After a few more idle chats, Qi Jia could no longer sit still and slid off the kang to play.
Seeing that the time was getting on, Hongzhi said to Qi Younian, "A few days ago, Steward Fan helped convey a message from Lady Qi to the Sixth Master... You know about it, right?"
"I know, young brother, go on," Qi Younian already knew what Ye Xinyan had told Jinrong, and perked his ears up when Hongzhi brought it up, eager to hear what came next.
