Chapter 46
"It's not bad. We are a small family, and we only have these gifts we give to you on weekdays. The Chu family is wise and will not pick our rules."
"Okay, in the afternoon, let Qingsong go to the farm to pack a basket of eggs and catch a few live chickens and come back. Tomorrow morning, you will go to the Chu family in person..." Ruan reminded.
Xi Feng, who was standing beside him, interrupted, "No need to go to the Chu family. The Fourth Master is recuperating at the tea shop next to the Wang Family Hospital. Tomorrow, my father and I will send the things to the tea shop together."
"You are going to go tomorrow too?" Xi Tongfang frowned. His daughter is fifteen years old and she is a big girl. The Fourth Master Chu, a man, just letting her daughter go to see her. He felt that it was not good.
Xi Feng curled his lips and said, "Dad, where are you thinking? That Fourth Master Chu was so injured that he couldn't afford to be bedridden. Can I still see him? I just wanted to thank Manager Feng San in person. He personally sent so many gifts and left without even having a meal. I was sorry, so I deserved to go over and thank him in person."
Xi Tongfang felt that what his daughter said was reasonable.
After all, Mr. Chu’s thank-you gift was given to his daughter. The daughter thanked him and went to send the gift back in person, which was also out of politeness.
Xi Tongfang agreed to let Xi Feng go with him.
In the afternoon, Xi Tongfang ordered Qingsong to go to the farm to get eggs and catch chickens. Qingsong bowed and said, "I'm going now, but, Master, can I finish eating so many eggs and pheasants? Otherwise, I'll catch a few less pheasants. After I finish eating, I'll go to the farm to catch them."
"Just catch eight, not one less." If you have fewer, how can you take action?
Qingsong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Xi Tongfang waved his hand, "Go quickly and go quickly, come back before dark."
"Yes, Master."
Qingsong didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly left.
The next day, Xi Tongfang went to the Chujia Tea Shop with ten pheasants with their wings and legs tied, a basket of eggs, a box of desserts made by Ruan and a box of green dumplings, and Xi Feng.
Every Qingming Festival, every household in Hangzhou would make green dumplings and would make more to give them to the neighbors to taste them, so as to enhance friendship and neighborhood relationships. Now there are still ten days before Qingming Festival, Ruan picked the tender leaves of mugwort planted in the backyard in advance, made a pot of green dumplings, put a box, and gave Chu Li a taste.
Xi Feng and his daughter went to the tea shop and presented the gift to her.
Manager Feng San hurriedly asked the servant to take the things and put them in the backyard. He brewed a pot of Yuqian Longjing with his own hands and poured a cup for each of them, "First fried new tea, Yuqian Longjing, Master Xi, Miss Xi, try it."
"Good tea." Xi Tongfang held the teacup in both hands, took a few sips, and praised.
Manager Feng San smiled, "This tea is made by my fifth brother himself and is specially used for guests. If Mr. Xi likes it, he will pack two pounds later."
"How can this be done? We are here to send back gifts, so how can we drink and take them? This..."
"Why can't it be? Miss Xi is the savior of my fourth master. Not to mention two kilograms of tea, it's not an exaggeration to give her a tea shop." Manager Feng San interrupted Xi Tongfang.
At this time, a servant came in and said, "The third shopkeeper, the fourth master asked Miss Xi to come over and said he had something to say."
"This...Miss Xi, look..."
