“Although the Fortune and Longevity Restaurant serves tea every day, it cannot compare to Mei Tower, which has a dedicated counter for selling tea leaves. I have a broader vision, aiming to catch big fish. I wonder if Uncle understands?”
Ye Feng's head buzzed with confusion. Did he really look like an Uncle?
To avoid further torment to his ears, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Alright, you can leave those for now. Please provide your name and address; I will find you if needed.”
“Daimiao Mountain, Xia Muxin!”
Xia Muxin smirked and readily provided her address and name. After handing over the cloth bag to Ye Feng and giving a slight nod, she left calmly.
This time, she chose the most dangerous tactic. To make someone remember you, you either need to be exceptionally outstanding or exceptionally unremarkable. She had neither quality, so her only option was to exploit the other person's weaknesses. Someone like Ye Feng, a big boss who shared traits with Su Yan-Chu—arrogant and proud—lacked nothing in terms of money or looks. Therefore, she decided to gamble with the term “Uncle.”
This time, however, she won her bet.
The process of making Jiaogulan Tea is not difficult but requires steps like killing green leaves, rolling, baking, and processing raw tea. Once this door opens, she could earn a steady profit before anyone else learns the method.
After successfully locating her father, she found him reluctant to spend even five taels of silver. Xia Muxin shook her head and dove into a Fabric Store, buying five bolts of fabric in different colors according to her taste. Then she pulled her father along to purchase some household necessities before slowly making their way home.
“Hey there, little girl! Business seems good today; you must have made quite a bit. Hurry up and hand over the silver to me, or you'll regret it!”
Not long after leaving the bustling market, Xia Muxin and her father were targeted by a group of scruffy thugs. The thugs wielded clubs and chewed on straw as they approached the father-daughter duo with greedy glints in their eyes.
“Muxin.” Summer Forest was frightened and quickly pulled Xia Muxin behind her, then bowed and pleaded, “Gentlemen, please have mercy. We are just a father and daughter running a small business. Please let us go!”
Xia Muxin remained silent, observing the terrain nearby. It was not far from the bustling market, yet there were no houses around. Moreover, it was lunchtime; those who needed to leave had already done so. It seemed they had been targeted long ago.
However, it didn’t make sense. If they had been targeted early on, why didn’t they strike when they had just sold the Orchid Bean, when they had the most money? Besides, being so brazen was surely more dangerous than sneaking around. In the end, Xia Muxin concluded that these people were likely hired thugs.
“Father, what are you talking about? We made a fortune today—dozens of taels of silver! These ruffians probably have never seen so much money in their lives. They’re just unfortunate children abandoned by their parents. Why don’t we give them the rest of our money?”
Realizing this, Xia Muxin felt a sense of relief. She placed the items she was holding into the Bamboo Basket that Summer Forest had chosen and then pulled out a few copper coins from her pocket, sighing regretfully as she said:
“Brothers, this is all that’s left. Do you want it or not?”
