Chapter 169 Sour and Sweet
He hadn't expected that when Jiang Yao saw him, she would first apologize with a big gift.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I didn't discipline the helpers well, which caused a big mistake today. I wonder if the hawthorn balls you bought today are for your granddaughter?"

Hearing that Jiang Yao mentioned hawthorn and granddaughter again, Zhang Yuanwai couldn't help but straighten his expression.

"The old man's granddaughter is studying in a private school. It's not time for her to eat yet. Is there something wrong with this hawthorn ball?"

"It's like this. The raw material for making hawthorn balls is hawthorn, also known as Shanlihong."

"Zhong He, who has been in contact with you before, when he was seeing a doctor, he accidentally heard that your granddaughter can't eat mountain red, so he never recommended hawthorn balls to you."

"So that's it!" Zhang Yuanwai patted the table excitedly, and couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart.

In the past, the granddaughter accidentally ate Shanlihong when she went back to the countryside, and her whole body was red and swollen with rashes, which frightened the whole family.

It's just that they have always called hawthorn as Shanlihong. When they suddenly heard hawthorn balls, Yuanwai Zhang thought they looked familiar, but he never remembered that they were actually a thing.

No way, it is somewhat confusing to say that it is wrapped in a layer of sugar.

Seeing that Zhang Yuanwai was only feeling remorse and shock, and had no intention of falling out with them, Jiang Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly handed over the gift money prepared in advance.

"Mr. Zhang, it was indeed my negligence this time and my lack of supervision. This is my apology. Please accept it."

As soon as Zhang Yuanwai had finished speaking, before Zhang Yuanwai had time to evade, the servants of the mansion brought Zhong He in as well.

Seeing the other party carrying a lot of things in his hand, Zhang Yuanwai's previous unhappiness was instantly diluted, and he waved his hand at the three of them.

"There is no need to be so affectionate and courteous. The old man and granddaughter didn't have an accident, and you didn't do it on purpose. You came to make up for it in time. The old man can understand."

"It's just that you have to pay attention, if the old man's granddaughter is resting at home today, she might have eaten this hawthorn ball at this moment..."

Hearing Zhang Yuanwai's words, Lu Xiangyang was so ashamed that he couldn't be more ashamed. He bowed deeply to Zhang Yuanwai, expressing guilt inside and out.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry. You trusted me so much, but I almost caused your granddaughter to have an accident. All of this is my own decision. I shouldn't be selling it to you without permission."

"I know I was wrong. When I earn my first wages, I will definitely buy some food that your granddaughter might like and apologize to her personally."

Seeing that Lu Xiangyang can bend and stretch at such a young age, Zhang Yuanwai admired him a little more in his heart.

However, for his future development, Zhang Yuanwai still endured the emotions in his heart and taught him a lesson with a straight face.

"You kid, you are obviously clever, but you want to mess around behind the shopkeeper's back! Fortunately, the old man believed your words at that time! You really..."

After a few words of training, Zhang Yuanwai seemed to be a little bit reluctant, and gave him earnest advice.

"You have to understand that your shopkeeper is just a teenage girl. She can make the business go this far, it must be inseparable from her intelligence."

"In addition, I see that the two of you look alike, so you must be related. Can your shopkeeper dislike the poor conditions of your family, and why will you arrange work randomly and wear small shoes?"

"What she doesn't let you do, naturally has her reasons. You can communicate with her well, why make it like this? You know, if something really happened to my granddaughter, I will never let you go shop."

The last point, Lu Xiangyang could guess even with his toes, he quickly saluted Zhang Yuanwai again, with panic in his green voice.

"Thank you for your guidance. What happened today is all my fault. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can punish me alone. Please don't hurt my sister."

When Jiang Yao left the shop before, she saw that Lu Xiangyang was very dissatisfied with him, and suddenly defended her so much, she suddenly felt a little flattered.

But I can also understand that as a child, I can do whatever I want in my heart, how can I take care of so much?

Zhang Yuanwai also had the same idea as Jiang Yao.

He raised his hand to stroke his beard, took a look at the things on the ground, thought for a while, and decided to accept it, so as not to let the young boy think wildly.

It's a pity that those hawthorn balls, he had to return them.

His granddaughter is good everywhere, but she is too greedy.I can't walk when I see delicious food.

If she found out that there are hawthorn balls at home that suit her appetite, even if she gets sick, she will probably eat two secretly.

After dealing with this matter, everyone didn't stay in Zhang's house for too long, and went back to the shop in a carriage.

On the way, Jiang Yao saw Lu Xiangyang's small face wrinkled like a bitter melon, so she patted him on the shoulder and handed him the hawthorn balls that Zhang Yuanwai had taken back.

"Eat one."

"What?" Hearing this request suddenly, Lu Xiangyang was a little dazed, not understanding what Jiang Yao was going to do.

However, today he was self righteous and did something wrong, so he didn't dare to refute Jiang Yao that he didn't want to eat, so he could only silently pick up one and feed it into his mouth.

"How does it feel?"

"Sweet, sour, or... sour." Lu Xiangyang replied listlessly, with his head drooping.

It was because of the sweet and sour hawthorn balls that he almost caused a catastrophe today, and now he was asked to taste the taste of the hawthorn balls, he really felt sad.

But Jiang Yao didn't seem to hear the displeasure in his tone, she raised her hand and rubbed his fluffy head.

"This hawthorn ball is like learning how to do business. At the beginning, when you set your goal firmly, you may feel sweet in your heart. But if you really want to achieve this goal, you will encounter many difficulties and obstacles."

"If you can overcome it all at once, then your heart will naturally be sweet. But if the things you encounter cannot be resolved, or if it is a false alarm like today, your heart will naturally be sour."

"Everything has two sides. What happened today was indeed a mistake, but it also made you discover your own shortcomings. If you can work hard to improve in the future and try not to make the same mistake again, then the taste in your heart will become sweet again."

I always thought that Jiang Yao might scold him, after all, this matter is very serious, Jiang Yao might be punished, maybe even locked up.

However, up to this moment, Jiang Yao didn't say anything harsh to him, she didn't even give him an angry look, and she even reasoned with him, which made him feel so warm.

By coincidence, Lu Xiangyang, who originally decided not to eat hawthorn balls in the future, reached out for another hawthorn ball and handed it directly to Jiang Yao's mouth.
