But for the group of people struggling in poverty, even the best clothes they have ever worn were casually bought for them by Liu Qingxi. This...
It was hard to describe the feeling in their hearts, a mix of emotions swelling up, as a long-lost warmth gently flowed through their hearts, tickling them.
"You all go ahead and try on the clothes. If they fit, take them home, wash up properly, and change into them. The remaining fabric, you two can help make something with," Liu Qingxi instructed the two cooks.
The few of them trembled as they accepted the clothes prepared by Boss Fang. Their rough hands lightly glided over the soft fabric, instantly warming their hearts.
Once the clothes were ready, it was already close to noon. "Chunyu, Summer Lotus, you two take them home first, boil some hot water for washing up, and then arrange for them to stay in the backyard. Here are five taels of silver; take them to buy some daily necessities like basins and bathing tubs, and then hire an ox cart to bring everything back.
I'll wait to pick up Young Master when he gets off from school; you two handle this first."
The two maids were entrusted with an important task and were naturally in good spirits, agreeing without hesitation.
Thus, they split into two groups and set off on their respective tasks.
With the bothersome crowd gone, Yang Yichen finally had some private time with Liu Qingxi. It was mealtime, so they decided to go to Chenxi Tavern, a restaurant named after one character from each of their names, which had become a landmark in Biqi Town.
Even from a distance, one could see the towering tavern come into view, leaving an indescribable sense of awe. More and more people came drawn by its reputation.
Some even visited just to see Chenxi Tavern, even if it wasn't their intended destination.
Liu Qingxi and Yang Yichen sat in the bamboo hall on the second floor, observing the business situation. From morning till night, there was never a moment of rest; people came and went continuously—some drawn by fame, others unable to resist the allure of Chenxi Tavern.
On stage, the theatrical troupe showcased their impressive singing skills while the dancers performed gracefully, attracting more and more patrons.
The current scene was both unexpected and expected at the same time.
"Qingxi, our revenue is substantial; it's all thanks to your efforts," Yang Yichen said with narrowed eyes, unable to help but admire the girl's talent.
From an exterior perspective, the grand yet exquisitely detailed tavern attracted customers with its charm. Inside was a continuous stream of dining and entertainment along with captivating performances that changed daily.
If one possessed both looks and talent yet still failed to succeed, then what kind of person would succeed?
Yang Yichen's words made Liu Qingxi raise her eyebrows slightly; what did this count for? There would be even greater achievements in the future.
A bright face and a strong heart gradually dispelled the darkness deep within.
He was clearly someone immersed in love, paying attention to everything about her at all times.
Just as Yang Yichen fell into contemplation, Li, the Innkeeper, personally knocked on the door while carrying dishes specially prepared by the kitchen: "Young Master, Miss, please enjoy. This is a new dish the chef has been experimenting with these past few days."
"Li, the Innkeeper, you can go about your business; there's no need to mind us."
The meal was simple, featuring two dishes and a soup, along with a beautifully arranged plate of snacks that were nutritious and healthy. Notably, one of the soups carried a faint herbal aroma.
Yang Yichen extended his long, slender hand and gently served Liu Qingxi a bowl of soup: "Why don't you try this? I specifically invited a Herbal Cuisine Master; this is his specialty. It's gentle and nourishing, particularly good for the body."
Liu Qingxi picked up the snow-white spoon and took a light sip. Immediately, the refreshing taste combined with the subtle fragrance of the herbs spread across her palate, refreshing and delightful.
"Not bad; this master is truly impressive." Despite having tasted many delicacies in her past life, she had never had such perfectly balanced soup before.
The herbal flavor was just right—not too strong and not too weak—perfectly blended with its beautiful light brown color, resembling a work of art that exuded elegance.
"It would be even better if there were more varieties. We could ask this master to prepare different types of medicinal dishes tailored to different body types for health maintenance. What do you think?"
After all, different constitutions require various medicinal dishes; even slight differences can lead to entirely different results.
The Youth exchanged glances; this was simply an excellent idea. Once this master’s skills were put to use, he could help many people improve their health.
Over time, many chronic ailments could be resolved.
After finishing their meal, Liu Qingxi entrusted Li, the Innkeeper, to start preparing for the medicinal dishes.
She knew she couldn't handle all the details herself and needed to leave it to Li for execution to create an impressive and irresistible effect.
"Rest assured, Young Master, Miss; I will complete your task." He almost swore an oath.
Today's schedule was particularly full. The servants had already returned home after preparing the dough; they only needed a carriage.
For the carriage, Liu Qingxi's choice was none other than Ji Zhong, the cattle seller Boss. Although he primarily sold cattle, he also had considerable knowledge about horses.
Overall, he is an expert.
At the Livestock Market, seeing Liu Qingxi's arrival, Ji Zhong's face lit up with a surprised smile. " Miss Liu, how many Ox Carts are you looking to buy this time?"
There was no way around it; the shock of so many Ox Carts was overwhelming, and he hoped there would be more customers like Liu Qingxi.
"I'm not here to buy Ox Carts today. I want to buy a horse carriage. Can you help me with that?"
"You've come to the right person. I have horses too, but they aren't out right now. If you need, I can take you home to have a look." After all, horses were more precious, and he felt reluctant to keep them penned up like cattle.
Thus, the two followed Ji Zhong back to his home. They found a large backyard with long livestock pens built on either side. On the east side, seven or eight horses stood in front of clean hay.
" Miss Liu, take a look for yourself. Horses are valuable, and there aren't many for sale in Biqi Town. Having these few is already quite good. Let me introduce them; this one..."
Ji Zhong carefully introduced the strengths and weaknesses of each horse without holding back. "I won't sugarcoat it; I'll tell you both the pros and cons so you can choose for yourselves. How does that sound?"
Liu Qingxi was confused and didn't quite understand what was going on, while Yang Yichen, who had been quietly following along, explained: "Boss Ji is right, but there are some issues. It's not just about shiny fur; you also need to look at the muscle on their legs..."
Immediately, Ji Zhong looked at him with admiration. "An expert knows at first glance! It seems this young master really understands horses. Take your time selecting; I will definitely give you the best price."
Yang Yichen remained oblivious to Ji Zhong's praise; this simple task of selecting horses was merely a basic skill for him.
