Even though they knew that the oil could still be sold, and the town’s oil mill couldn’t cover the sky with one hand, they still didn’t feel at ease because the oil hadn’t been sold yet.
When Xue Erfu came back and told them everything, they were told that the oil hadn’t been sold yet and would only be sold in town tomorrow. However, everyone immediately felt at ease.
Xue Erfu also told them that it was best not to sell the oil separately in the village. Since the village chief was here, they had a simple discussion at the village entrance. They decided to sell the vegetable seeds to Xue Wen’s oil mill directly.
After this experience, everyone knew that the money earned from buying vegetable seeds was about the same as selling oil alone.
It was troublesome to sell oil alone.
Xue Wen also told his family that Manager Qiao was going to bring him to meet the owners of the oil shops. Xue Darong and the others were also very happy, and they kept saying, “It’s all thanks to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue!”
“Isn’t that so!” Li Qingshu said immediately. “You guys didn’t see how much status Xue Yan has in town. That Manager Qiao even called him Sir. He even directly said that he was helping out for Xue Yan’s sake and was extremely polite to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. Because we’re with Xue Yan, we were treated with prestige too. They were especially polite to us. Don’t you think they’re awesome?”
“Really?” Everyone was very envious.
Xue Erfu straightened his back and looked proud.
“Of course it’s true. You can ask Xue Wen. Didn’t he go there too?”
Hearing Li Qingshu’s words, everyone immediately turned to Xue Wen.
“Yes, it’s true,” Xue Wen said. “We didn’t expect it to be like this. We didn’t know whether to sit or stand.”
“You can’t blame us for this,” Li Qingshu continued. “Think about it. In the past, when have we ever been looked down upon by people in town? They all say that we’re bumpkins, how can we act like them? Besides, that’s the biggest restaurant in the town. Do they think we’re worthy? It was all because of Xue Yan! There’s nothing to say about Jiang Yue. The moment she took out that silver thread candy, Manager Qiao’s eyes were locked onto them.”
“What silver thread candy?” Someone was puzzled and immediately asked.
Li Qingshu then told him about the silver thread candy in detail.
Everyone immediately felt even more apologetic. “Erfu, your family has been putting in so much effort and giving out so much sugar. It’s so expensive and it clearly has nothing to do with your family. Tell us honestly, how much did it cost? We’ll pool our resources together for you, okay? ”
“No need, no need,” Xue Erfu hurriedly said. “It’s good that the matter has been resolved. I didn’t think this through from the start. Thank you for being kind about this matter.”
“You’re the one being too kind.” Everyone said.
Xue Erfu replied, “There’s really no need for formalities. The silver thread candy was made by my family. It didn’t cost much, so you don’t have to worry about it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll have to head back first. My wife must be waiting for me to eat.”
Only then did everyone realize that Yu Hongyan was walking over with her bulging stomach.
“Then go quickly, go quickly. You’ve been delayed the entire morning and haven’t had lunch yet. Everyone was urging him. “You must be hungry.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’ll go back now.” Xue Erfu said with a smile. He then strode over to Yu Hongyan and told her everything on their way home.
Yu Hongyan was shocked as well. She did not expect Xue Yan to be so respected in town.
