The price of sunflower seeds isn’t expensive, so a lot of people are watching.
Daniu spoke calmly, "The biggest Passion Fruit Shop in the capital sources its sunflower seeds from us to sell in the capital. Nowadays, during holidays and festivals, people serve this fresh delicacy to entertain guests. It’s beco a must-have for every household during the New Year in Dongan Province."
"However, due to limited production, these seeds are currently sold in only a few places, and not many people have tried them. You can buy so to taste or give them as gifts; their delicious flavor and rarity make them the perfect choice for gift-giving and entertaining guests."
"Most importantly, they’re affordable; everyone can buy them."
After Daniu finished speaking, he distributed so to everyone.
Soon, people started ordering, here a pound, there two pounds.
When Qi Lie brought ng Yunzheng over, they saw that the entire shop was crowded, even the entrance was packed.
Qi Lie had seen other business openings before; so prominent families in the capital create quite a spectacle, but none as sensational as Lu’s.
He turned to ng Yunzheng, "Are you sure we still need to go in to help your wife?"
ng Yunzheng raised his head, glanced at him, then removed the curtain hat from his head, and took off Qi Lie’s as well.
Qi Lie, "..."
"Lord Qi!!" Soone in the crowd recognized him and exclaid in surprise.
Qi Lie chuckled dryly, turned and discreetly glared at ng Yunzheng, "Stay close to ." He had been exposed and now had to ensure their safety.
ng Yunzheng replied, "Alright," acknowledging that Qi Lie had agreed to be his assistant today, he would stick by him.
Qi Lie took a deep breath and smiled as he entered the shop.
The crowd had opened a path, respectfully escorting Qi Lie inside.
Qi Lie presented his gift to Shu Yu, "Congratulations on the opening of Lu’s shop. This is my gift, wishing the County Lord flourishing business and abundant wealth."
"Thank you, Lord Qi. Please have a seat inside; refreshnts have been prepared."
"No need." Qi Lie waved his hand, "You have many guests today and are quite busy, no need to entertain . I’ve delivered my gift, so I’ll be leaving."
He said this as he headed towards the small door, more guests surrounded him, making it difficult to leave.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, he suddenly said, "Oh?"
Since they entered, Qi Lie was the focus of attention in the shop, so although his voice wasn’t loud, everyone heard it.
Seeing him stop, they stared at him in surprise.
Then they heard Qi Lie laugh and say, "Sunflower oil, you actually brought quite a bit from afar. I rember when sunflower oil first ca out, it was who negotiated the deal with County Lord Lu to supply the palace. The Emperor praised for getting a good price; the palace’s doctors frequently praised its quality. It’s a great product. Unfortunately, I’ve been in Changjin Prefecture for so long and haven’t tasted it in ages. County Lord Lu, give a jar; I’ll have the kitchen use it today."
After speaking, he handed a tael of silver to Jiang Fengshou.
Jiang Fengshou didn’t take it, just smiled, "Lord Qi, you’re too kind. You sent a gift, it’s customary to return the gesture with sunflower oil; it’s already prepared for you."
With that, he handed a jar and several packages of oil to the servant behind Qi Lie.
Qi Lie nodded, "Alright, I’ll take my leave now. You all carry on."
