Shopkeeper Xie naturally did not dare to offend Xie Rong.

Hearing his words, he quickly stood up and said with a pale face, “Butler Xie,

Young Master.”

“Don’t beat around the bush,” Xie Yu said.

“Young Master, it’s like this. The county magistrate’s son came to our Fragrance Restaurant to entertain our distinguished guests and ordered the recently popular fish with pickled cabbages. However, our restaurant really doesn’t have any pickled cabbages.”

“Well, I had no choice but to ask Young Master if the family selling pickled vegetables could provide pickled vegetables?” Shopkeeper Xie’s face was full of tears. If he had been anxious before, he would be nervous now.

Although the county magistrate would give the Xie family some face, he could not possibly not give the county magistrate face. Moreover, he remembered that his Young Master had instructed him to build a good relationship with the county magistrate’s people during this period of time. He had important things to do.

When the county magistrate’s Young Master celebrated his birthday, Xie Yu had even sent gifts. The gifts he had prepared were more than in previous years. This was a signal that he wanted to befriend the county magistrate?

As a servant, he did not dare to ruin his master’s plans.

That was why he was in such a hurry to find pickled cabbages.

“Is it the eldest son of the county magistrate?” Xie Yu did not crave the fish with pickled cabbages. After all, there was still a jar of pickled cabbages in his residence.

Xie Yu raised his eyebrows. “It’s nothing. Follow me. I’ll send some new food over in a while. Also, tell Eldest Young Master Xu that tomorrow afternoon, the Fragrance Restaurant will send the fish with pickled cabbages to his residence.”

“Young Master, this pickled cabbage…” Xie Rong knew that the person working with Xie Yu was Chu Heng, a relatively famous scholar in the county. If it was anyone else, he would definitely feel that the other party was greedy, but when it came to Chu Heng, Xie Rong had to admit that this person was as smart as his young master. It was a wise move to befriend him.

“Last time at the banquet of Scholar Chu’s family, I suddenly had something on and couldn’t go. It’s really a pity. Xie Rong, help me send a visiting card.”

“A visiting card…?” Xie Rong was a little hesitant, but he did not refute any of Xie Yu’s decisions, “Young Master, what time should we set?”

“In the afternoon.” Xie Yu was really curious in his heart. He did not know what kind of beauty this Mrs. Chu had that made Chu Heng fall in love with her.

In fact, Xie Yu was more curious about what kind of country woman could make Soft Fragrance Cakes, think of an oven, and fish with pickled vegetables.

Coincidentally, he only needed to figure out the topic today and had time.

“Yes, Young Master,” Xie Rong replied respectfully.

Xie Yu did not say much and went to the county shop to look at the oven. After Xie Rong ordered the people below to send the visiting card, he followed.

Hence, the two of them were in a daze.

Ye Muyu received the invitation and was still a little stunned.

Sh said, “This is… A visiting card from Third Young Master Xie?”

Ye Muyu was thinking that Chu Heng was in charge of communicating with this young master about the Soft Fragrance Cake business.

She was a woman, and the Third Young Master of the Xie family would not lower himself to befriend her. After all, their statuses were quite different. Even the county magistrate’s wife was rarely invited by the Xie family, let alone a little scholar’s wife.

Now that the Third Young Master of the Xie family had come to visit… What was he up to?

Ye Muyu’s intuition was very accurate. Xie Yu was not here to discuss business. He was simply curious about Ye Muyu.

“Madam, the Young Master said that he was very sorry that he didn’t come to congratulate you at the banquet last time.” The servants of the Xie family obviously knew the rules very well. They did not say much and only used Xie Yu’s words as an excuse..
