Accompanied by the guqin music, Chu Qingzhi, dressed in a light green long dress, gracefully walked onto the stage in the center.
Her elegant figure was outlined by her dress, and her dark hair, casually pinned up with a silver hairpin, added to her graceful demeanor. She smiled and began, “Welcome everyone to the Food Festival…”
Chu Qingzhi’s melodious voice spread throughout Guangxi Garden, reaching everyone’s ears clearly. The audience was captivated by her presence.
Third Master Lu, with a disguised ordinary face, stood next to Tang Jinghong and nudged him, whispering, “Did you refuse all the noble ladies in the capital because you are waiting for this girl to grow up?”
Tang Jinghong turned around and looked at Third Master Lu. “When did your imagination become so rich?”
Third Master Lu was puzzled. “Isn’t that so?”
Tang Jinghong decisively denied it. “No, I only met Qingzhi when I returned to the village.”
“Alright.” Third Master Lu was rebuffed and did not say anything else.
The Chu family’s elders looked at Chu Qingzhi on stage with pride, marveling at how exceptional their daughter was. Her siblings watched intently, proud of their sister’s beauty and unmatched talents.
Xu Guannan remarked quietly while watching Chu Qingzhi, “Such a lady can be considered the first of her kind in this era.”
Jiang Zhaozong chuckled, “Your words imply that Chu Qingzhi is unsurpassable.”
Xu Guannan smiled subtly, “Indeed, no one can surpass her.”
County Magistrate Tao said to County Magistrate Yun beside him, “How is it? Can your county find such a talent?”
Magistrate Yun glanced at Magistrate Tao jealously and said, “No, are you satisfied?”
County Magistrate Tao smiled happily. “That’s great.”
County Magistrate Yun was speechless.
Tan Mengyang, Si Yuheng, Lin Wanning, and some people who knew Chu Qingzhi couldn’t help but praise her when they saw her host the food festival.
Not only did the others praise her, but they were also envious. From today onwards, probably everyone in Shuiyun County would know Chu Qingzhi, right?
After the speech, Chu Qingzhi announced, “The food festival officially begins!”
Thunderous applause sounded from below the stage.
“Next, please enjoy the song and dance. After that, we will begin to show the items sold by the merchants. After watching, if you want to cooperate, you can go to the shopkeeper to negotiate.”
Chu Qingzhi turned around and left the stage.
The dancers, dressed in beautiful aqua blue dance clothes, walked onto the stage and danced to the music.
The rhythm of the dance was fast. It was easy to stir people’s emotions.
“Having dance performances at a food festival is so well-thought-out,” someone commented.
“I don’t think I’m the only one who’s never heard of this dance before, right?”
“This tunc makes me want to hum along.”
Amidst everyone’s comments and praises, the atmosphere became more and more excited. After the dance ended, the dancers walked down the stage lightly.
The tune was played by Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao again. This time, it was changed to a lighter tunc to maintain the lively atmosphere.
When they played the guqin, many people looked at them. It was rare that the two little guys did not have stage fright.
“People say the children playing the guqin are Chu Qingzhi’s younger brothers.”
“They arc siblings. The sister is remarkable, and so is the brother. It’s not about how well they play, but their courage to perform in such a grand event.”
Indeed, it was a grand event. At this moment, there were over fifteen thousand people in Guangxi Garden, with more still coming in.
“The Chu family is full of talents!”
Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Chu Qingzhi showcased her family’s products. The dancers, holding trays, lined up behind her.
Chu Qingzhi introduced, “This is Chu’s Trade’s rice dumpling, available in sweet and savory flavors, each with five sub-flavors. Interested merchants can discuss cooperation with Manager Chu Xuhua.”
Chu’s Trade was the name Chu Qingzhi chose for her business, straightforward and easily understandable.
“The second product is ice, and those interested in buying can also discuss collaboration.”
Unlike before, the Chu family wasn’t powerless and vulnerable. Anyone with sense wouldn’t dare provoke them. If provoked, they were ready to retaliate.
“The third product is beer, a kind of drink suitable for all seasons. Currently, we have the original flavor, but fruit-flavored beer will be introduced later…”
After presenting her products, Chu Qingzhi said, “Chu’s Trade’s office is located to the right of the stage. We welcome cooperation.”
Chu Xuhua, the manager, greeted the crowd, “I’m Chu Xuhua, the manager of Chu’s Trade. We welcome cooperation.”
In the past, Chu Xuhua was an honest and quiet person. Now, although he was not outstanding in eloquence, he was still considered steady in handling matters.
Chu Qingzhi added, “Additionally, those who close deals over one hundred taels can claim eight bowls with their contract, a thousand taels can get a tea set, and ten thousand taels, a beautiful vase. Chu Xujin will give you those at the entrance.”
Chu Xujin smiled and cupped his hands at everyone. “I’m Chu Xujin. You can look for me after you close a deal with my family.”
After the items from Chu’s Trade were removed, Chu Qingzhi began to introduce the Tan family’s products…
The woman’s crisp and lively voice continued to ring out. After hearing her introduction, everyone had an impression of this business and had the desire to cooperate.
Then, she introduced the third, fourth…
“I can’t believe we ate breakfast sold by Chu Qingzhi’s family,” Fan Yuru said in disbelief.
“I didn’t expect it either,” Rong Shiyu replied. “My family owns a pastry shop, and if we bring these breads and apple pies to the capital, do you think they’ll sell well?”
Fan Yuru patted Rong Shiyu’s shoulder. “Don’t you think it’s delicious?”
Rong Shiyu replied without hesitation, “They’re delicious.”
Fan Yuru, a woman of action, suggested, “Then why wait? Order a batch and try selling them in the capital.”
“Right, I’ll order now.” Rong Shiyu headed towards Chu Xuhua’s office.
Reaching the office, they found a small queue and joined it.
Fan Yuru remarked, “This business is booming.”
Rong Shiyu agreed, “Chu Qingzhi’s products are delicious and novel. Who wouldn’t be interested?”
Fan Yuru thought for a moment, “I’ll order more. I think a small quantity won’t be enough.”
Rong Shiyu agreed, “I’ll order more as well..”
