Chapter 2844: Chapter 2780: Telling the Truth
"And my tea leaves, they’re from ancient tea trees that are a hundred years old, the taste is excellent, and now we have many repeat customers. Of course, I’m saying this because I have great confidence in what we sell at my tea shop. If the Alliance Officials are still not assured, they could send someone to inspect the tea shop, or even have the tea and pastries tested."
Jiang Xiao said this with a hint of mischief: "But if you’re asking me to lower the price, I’d rather close the tea shop than agree to that."
This girl...
Madam Cui couldn’t help but find it both amusing and frustrating.
However, remembering the changes in her body these past two days, she was somewhat surprised and said, "Could it be that the improvement in my appetite and sleep these days is due to those tea snacks?"
"Not just that." Jiang Xiao shook her head, "There’s also the painting."
She decided to explain the medicinal painting herself.
Because sooner or later Commander Cui and Madam Cui would find out, after all, more than one person knew.
Moreover, the painting from Old Bai might have already been spread around.
"What’s the issue with the painting?"
"I’m studying a medicinal painting, which involves adding high-quality medicinal herbs to the paint. This way, the paint is not only harmless to the human body, but also makes people feel delighted and mentally better while appreciating the painting. It’s a kind of auxiliary therapy. I’ve discussed this idea with Grandpa Chen Baoshen as well, and he is quite supportive."
"Chen Baoshen? You even know him?" Commander Cui certainly knew of Chen Baoshen.
"Yes. Grandpa Chen always says I’m like his last disciple." Jiang Xiao said unabashedly: "I’ve learned a lot about medicine from Grandpa Chen."
"Really? You study medicine too?"
"I wouldn’t call it studying medicine, it’s just that there is a mountain in the village where I lived when I was little. That mountain is extremely rich in resources, with exceptionally good medicinal herbs. I’ve obtained a lot of good herbs from there. My grandfather used to make a living by digging up herbs to sell and support me."
"Aren’t you a child of the Jiang Family?" Commander Cui frowned.
"Yes, but I didn’t know before. I only found out later."
What’s going on?
Her background sounds so complex?
Jiang Xiao shook her head and said, "It’s a long story."
"Then tell it, I really want to see what’s up with you, young lady." Commander Cui was genuinely interested in hearing about her story now.
Seeing that Madam Cui also seemed interested, Jiang Xiao helplessly began to tell her story.
She initially thought she would finish in a few words, as she seldom talked much about her past in front of people she’s not familiar with, but somehow, as she spoke and the Cui couple asked questions, she ended up speaking more and more and with more detail.
By the time she finally finished, she realized that a long time had passed.
Even Ding Haijing couldn’t wait outside anymore, thinking something had happened to her and she was being detained, not allowed to leave.
He considered going in to find out but was afraid of actually disturbing Madam Cui.
Fortunately, Madam Cui realized that Jiang Xiao was driven here last time, so she asked Xiao Mu to go out and inform Ding Haijing, then invited him into the house.
Otherwise, Ding Haijing would have worried himself to death outside.
When Jiang Xiao finished speaking, Madam Cui had already wiped away tears multiple times.
Even Commander Cui was looking at Jiang Xiao with a gaze full of complexity and sympathy.
