There were also quite a lot, so the price must not be cheap.
Why did Chu Heng suddenly think of buying honey?
This thing was common in rich families, but it was rare in the countryside. After all, the countryside only used maltose, not white sugar. In short, this jar of honey was quite extravagant.
No matter how Ye Muyu thought about it, she could not imagine the change in Chu Heng’s mentality.
She felt that it was possible that it was because she had asked Madam Liu to bring some pastries and pickled vegetables for Chu Heng in the morning. Chu Heng did not want to take advantage of her, so he returned the favor.
As for the more expensive price, she thought about how Chu Heng gave the original host silver every month and understood that he could afford it.
Ye Muyu did not think too much about it. She covered the honey jar. When she saw the honey, her first reaction was to make honey pomelo tea. However, she could not find any pomelos now. The pomelos matured in August and September. Now, she could drink honey water every day. It was good for her beauty.
Ye Muyu put this matter aside and remembered that Chu Heng had sent a letter back.
She opened the letter and read it slowly.
There was not much written on it.
However, it was enough to surprise Ye Muyu.
Was this helping her find a customer base? When it was mentioned that Young
Master Xie wanted to buy the milk cakes, as well as his classmate Du Heng, Ye Muyu instantly thought that her plan to sell milk cakes did not need to be so troublesome.
Ye Muyu thought for a moment, picked up the letter, and stood up.
“Mother, where are you going?” Chu Ziluo was still patiently embroidering. When she saw Ye Muyu standing up after reading the letter, she asked curiously, “Mother, is this a letter from Father? What did Father write in the letter?”
Chu Ziluo and Ye Muyu were getting along more and more naturally.
This was also because Ye Muyu deliberately let her feel the love and encouragement of her parents.
Ye Muyu nodded. “Yes, this letter was written by your father. He said that someone had taken a fancy to the milk cake I made and wanted to buy it.”
“Of course, he also asked about you and Lil’ Jin.”
Chu Ziluo shivered when she heard that and asked softly, “Mother, how have I been recently? Will Father be dissatisfied?”
“You are very good. Your father will be satisfied.”Ye Muyu smiled gently.
Chu Ziluo smiled happily. She grabbed Ye Muyu’s skirt and followed behind her obediently.
Ye Muyu entered the study and asked Ziluo to help her grind the ink stone.
Chu Ziluo had only done this once or twice, and it was usually when she was helping Chu Jin grind. She was still learning to write, so she only wrote by dipping her brush in water. Chu Jin was still young, and grinding was a matter of nurturing his temper. Ye Muyu would not let Chu Ziluo do all of it for him.
Therefore, when she needed to write, she would let Ziluo grind it, with the intention of teaching her.
After a while, Chu Ziluo said happily, “Mother, I’m done grinding.” “Very good. You’ve improved since last time,” Ye Muyu praised as usual.”
When Chu Ziluo heard that, she smiled happily and decided to learn hard.
Seeing Ye Muyu pick up the brush, she quickly restrained her emotions and quietly watched from the side.
Ye Muyu’s reply to Chu Heng’s letter was simple. She wanted to meet the Third Young Master of the Xie family.
Originally, she had planned to let Chu Xing go to the county town to sell milk cakes and let most people in the county know about this kind of pastry.
Then, it would expand to the neighboring county.
When the county announced that there would be a female arts competition, the county would definitely be very lively on that day. At that time, they would recommend the county magistrate to make a big cake to celebrate.
The county magistrate might agree. After all, he did not need to pay any cost. He could also create a happy atmosphere for the people in the county. If this spread to other countries, it would probably be much better..
