She ordered a thousand, okay?
"Grandpa, don’t worry, they will definitely sell," Chiang Xiao dared not mention the quantity anymore, fearing it might truly scare the elderly couple.
Meng Xinian, trying to hold back his laughter, said, "Yes, they will sell. Grandpa, rest assured, I’ll arrange for people to transport them to Capital City when the time comes. I’ll ask my grandfather for help; he’s really bored with nothing to do these days. I’ll get him to help sell the tea snacks."
"How could that be, how could that be," Chiang Songhai said as he shook his head again and again upon hearing this.
Having Old Master Meng help them sell tea snacks?
He didn’t have the courage to do that.
Yet Chiang Xiao started thinking about the preservation of those tea snacks.
If they could be sold far away in Capital City, that would be great. But right now, she didn’t want to think that far ahead; after all, it would take such a long time on the road from here to Capital City, and she was worried that the tea snacks’ freshness might not last.
Better to start with selling to the provincial city first.
Now that she had found someone to make the packaging boxes, she felt like half the work was done.
After that, she really did relax and toured several scenic spots with her grandparents, even enjoying all the delicious foods of the provincial city. Meng Xinian’s face brightened with more smiles. Well, even though her grandparents were there, at least this time he got to tour the provincial city with Chiang Xiaoxiao.
On the morning of the third day, Chiang Xiao brought a package to the room of Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao.
"I have received the Lingzhi, Grandpa. Are you going to visit the Xue Family?"
"Received it? It was sent to the hotel?"
"Yes," Chiang Xiao spoke of this matter while Meng Xinian was absent. However, the package had indeed been sent to the hotel, as she had taken time out the day before to send it from the post office secretly.
To avoid it being intercepted by Meng Xinian, she had already warned the young lady at the front desk, telling her it was personal and confidential and had to be given directly to her, and that she needed to speak to her discreetly about it.
In fact, she was worried that Meng Xinian would see the writing and the postmark on it.
He would definitely spot the issue if he saw it.
Chiang Xiao felt that keeping up the lie was really not easy for her; it was almost like doing underground work.
As soon as she got the package, she immediately opened it and destroyed the evidence, holding the Lingzhi as she came in.
The Lingzhi wasn’t much, just a small bottle of thin slices.
It would have been strange if there had been more.
However, she also placed a white porcelain cup together with the Lingzhi, which had the Calming Talisman Figure drawn on it with the Magic Brush.
Chiang Xiao was thinking that if it was possible to test its effects, she might as well give it a try. Maybe it would really work?
The Magic Brush had no trouble drawing the talisman diagram on the porcelain, and as soon as it was done, it dried and couldn’t be scraped off.
She decided to also give this cup to Xue Liujin.
"Eh, isn’t the pattern on this cup the same as the one you drew on your hand that day?" Ge Liutao noticed.
Chiang Xiao nodded and said, "Yeah, I drew it. I’ve drawn several, Grandma. Have you forgotten? The day before yesterday, I bought several white porcelain cups and drew on them when I got back. You, Grandpa, and I each have one. These aren’t available anywhere else, you know."
"One for each person?" Meng Xinian walked in with a bag of oranges, just in time to hear her.
Chiang Xiao started to sweat again.
Could she say that she didn’t plan one for him?
It wasn’t that she forgot about him; it just seemed like the Calming Talisman Figure didn’t suit him at all.
Besides, he was a Supervisor Guard, often off on missions. She felt it was better for him to maintain his current imposing manner. What if he used the cup for water and it mellowed his temperament out too much?
