But at this point, Li Jintian had no choice but to put the rules there, so he could only send yamen runners to deal with the follow-up matters while going to the countryside to read out the new rules of the court.

"Mr. Li, I don't know which wind blows you. The shop is full of glory today!" Zhou Qi bowed his body slightly and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Li Jintian raised his hand with his head down halfway, holding the unfinished cake in his hand.

"Let me see what new things are in your shop recently." Li Jintian closed his eyes and shook his head, and even stuffed a pancake into his mouth and chewed it.

Zhou Qi suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yesterday the little man collected a good item."

"Take it out and take a look."

Zhou Qi lifted the bench and asked County Magistrate Li to sit first. The regular clothes he wore today, and everyone only performed ordinary rituals when they saw him, and they didn't have to be restrained.

In Daning, the relationship between officials and the people in life is pretty good, and the people don’t have to kneel down when they see the emperor. Of course, the site of large-scale ceremonial events is not allowed.

Jiang Zhi and Ye Xiaomei took a tribute and stood aside, not moving or talking.

Zhou Qi took out an ancient box from the shelf, opened it and handed it to County Magistrate Li.

There was a small light blue porcelain bottle lying in the box. The details were fired in place and there were light cracks on it, which looked extremely elegant.

County Magistrate Li nodded repeatedly: "Well, it's a good thing." But he always felt that something was missing. I'm afraid that the person who is this kind of small thing would not look down on.

The man who started in Shuzhou, passed the Jinshi at the age of 24, and ranked first as the top scholar. Now he is only 33 years old, he has been demoted twice and was demoted twice. He was transferred from the local area to Dongdu a year ago, and was demoted to his small Xin'an County as the chief clerk.

I was moved by the famous literary talent in the world and was recognized by the scholars of the world. After receiving the news that he was transferred to this, County Magistrate Li was happy to not sleep all night.

So, I came out early the next morning to find a gift to give to that person as a meeting gift.

I heard that although that person is so elegant, he loves to eat more.

Unfortunately, there is no amazing food in the small Xin'an County.

"There is nothing else?" County Magistrate Li asked with his neck tilted.

"This... this is indeed the most precious item in the shop." Zhou Qi said embarrassedly.

Seeing that County Magistrate Li didn't seem to have a cold, Jiang Zhi felt that her business was coming. She didn't even look down on such high-quality porcelain bottles. She thought that the other party wanted something that he had never seen before.

Li Jintian seemed to feel the eager eyes of Jiang Zhi beside him. He looked at Jiang Zhi and said, "You two buy goods here?"

Jiang Zhi is very blessed and not nervous. Ye Xiaomei has seen many high-ranking officials and nobles in her previous life, but she is not afraid.

The two stood there, almost looking at each other with County Magistrate Li.

"No, my sisters are here to find shopkeeper Zhou to sell goods."

Li Jintian felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. He said, "Is it a cloth or a country specialty?"

"None of them." Jiang Zhi shook her head and said, "It's Baitang, I got it by chance."

"White sugar? What is that?" Li Jintian only knew brown sugar, malt sugar, etc., but he didn't know what white sugar was. He became interested.

Jiang Zhi picked up the small paper bag that had not been sealed on the cabinet. This was a small sugar bag that Jiang Zhi had packed separately for people to taste.

The sweetness of pure white sugar is much greater than that of brown sugar and malt sugar, and this one is easier to preserve than frosting.

"Is this white sugar?" Li Jintian looked at the irregular white crystals wrapped in the paper bag. This was a scrap material, which was relatively small.

When you look at one, it is small, crystal clear, exquisite and clever. Whether you look at it alone or be with you, it is pleasing to the eye.

County Magistrate Li twisted a little with his finger and put it into his mouth, and a sweet breath suddenly jumped onto his forehead.

Well~ It's really sugar, it's so sweet.

"This thing is very wonderful." Li Jintian sighed. Now he not only wants to give it to others, but it is also good to leave such a rare thing for himself.

"How many more do you have?" Li Jintian looked up at Jiang Zhi, feeling that the woman had a tough aura, but her eyebrows were gentle.

Two completely different temperaments intertwined her and looked particularly harmonious.

The girl standing beside her also had an unignorable temperament. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Li Jintian always felt that the emotions that the girl inadvertently expressed were not what normal people should have in their homes.

"Only five kilograms remain."

"I want it all, you can offer a price." Li Jintian smiled heartily.

"I originally planned to cost one hundred cents. Since the county magistrate liked it, I only cost eighty cents one taels, five pounds totaling five thousand four hundred cents." Jiang Zhi took out three paper bags from Ye Xiaomei's backpack, which contained white sugar.

"Okay, it's great. If there is still a lot in the future, I'll put it in the weekly diary." Li Jintian paid the money quickly and asked Zhou Qi to take a larger oil paper and seal the sugar layer.

He opened it and looked at it. The inside was different from the one that came out just now. It was piece by piece, and there were traces of the knife slashing.

"Yes, I will remember it." Jiang Zhifu was blessed and looked at Ye Xiaomei, with a smile on her face.

After buying the thing he liked, Li Jintian left Zhou Ji grocery store leisurely with the vegetable basket. Only then did Zhou Qi dare to talk to Jiang Zhi.

"Dare you ask your wife about her surname?"

Jiang Zhi said politely: "Don't let your surname Jiang be free, and your sister's surname is Ye."

"This is my sister-in-law." said Ye Xiaomei.

"Oh, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Ye, please move to the inner room, and let the inner room come out to guard the shop." Zhou Qi led the two into the inner room and poured tea with thoughtfulness.

"This white sugar is indeed a rare thing. Some of the particles are like ice. Didn't Mrs. Jiang break a whole piece of ice before getting this thing?"

"Hahaha." Jiang Zhi chuckled softly: "What Boss Zhou said is good, probably so. What you tasted just now was scraps, and what the county magistrate bought was blocky white sugar."

"Oh~ Just now, the county magistrate smiled, which made this small shop more beautiful. Thanks to Mrs. Jiang, my weekly diary grocery store has been based in Xin'an County for 66 years. It has been an old shop passed down from ancestors. Its reputation is quite good. If Mrs. Jiang can still get this thing in the future, I must put it on my weekly diary."

"However, the county magistrate just now meant this. It can be seen that the shopkeeper is very kind and I can trust him." Jiang Zhi said with the flow.

"Yes, yes, thank you Lord Li for your love." Zhou Qi bowed to the top.

"Thank everyone's trust, Zhou Qimingren doesn't say secret words. It's just this price. I wonder if the wife can reduce it a little?"

Jiang Zhi took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and her eyes moved slightly, saying, "Boss Zhou, what is the priority in doing business? It is from the end, and there is trust in words. I just sold it to Lord Li for 80 ounces, and then I lowered my bid to you. Zhou Ji Grocery Store. Boss Zhou wants me to be untrustworthy and can't be criticized?"

"I don't mean that, oh, this matter is really difficult to deal with." Zhou Qi was in a dilemma. White sugar is very rare, but the county magistrate bought it for 80 cents and it was not good to raise the price from others.

Jiang Zhi refused to reduce his costs, and he did not dare to raise the price.
