Chapter 253: Chapter 243: Troubled by the Task of Giving Gifts_2
The things bought in the county are re imitations, ordinary items, and even if they are expensive, they won’t catch the eye of a wealthy family!
Those people are all in search of one-of-a-kind, precious things, even if they are just for show and can’t be eaten or drunk, it still symbolizes their wealth and glory.
Hongji sighed after hearing his parents’ words, others all wish for this kind of luck, yet for them, having it is a pressure!
No matter that he’s now an envied wealthy farr, it’s the type that’s nouveau riche, and he feels inferior inside!
Facing the arrogance of the wealthy, the disdainful looks, he feels so insecure, wondering if they’re looking down on him.
Apart from having less wealth, they also can’t match in terms of education, these wealthy folks have been rich for generations.
Ordinary rchants don’t receive invitations from the Tang Family, they feel honored and at the sa ti, they wonder, what on earth should they do once they get to the banquet?
The concerns of the couple ended up unresolved, and they didn’t buy expensive gifts in the county, they could only offer up their own produce.
Their own special produce being the grains grown on their estate, as well as fruits, vegetables, and poultry they raised!
All such things were commonly purchased by the Tang Family, not sothing that could be considered as gifts!
Ever since the Junior Housekeeper from the Tang Family had sent the invitation, they hadn’t concluded what to gift from morning till after dinner!
The whole family discussed it all day, and only Ye Shiqi had a gift to give, unlike her elder sisters who couldn’t offer anything!
Giving sachets and the like, as girls, it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to offer such things!
Even as young girls, they feared people’s gossip!
Lacking the talents of their younger sister, they could only brazenly go without giving anything!
Mr. and Mrs. Lai had always thought differently, they were ready to wear their finest clothes, to appear their most respectable in front of others!
Letting others know they were the ancestors of the Ye family!
It also counted as entering the ranks of the rich n, being recognized was a honor in itself!
Such vanity of the couple had been inflad in the past two years, constantly flattered by others for now being able to enter the social circles of the wealthy.
In their lifeti, to et more people from wealthy families, to make connections with them, to flaunt their vanity!
Yet, Hongji and his wife never thought having a bit of money ant they could enter others’ circles!
Farm folk grown up treading mud, now having co into a bit of money and becoming wealthier farrs, still wish to be that conservative!
Ye Shiqi could quite understand her parents’ concerns, so she offered them a solution:
“Dad, Mom, don’t wealthy families like healthful honey? Let’s just give them our honey!”
Ye Shiqi didn’t suggest honey without consideration; the honey produced from her space was normally only given to the Tang Family or her own family to eat!
So close relatives would also receive a little bit, but in order to not expose the space, the honey sold was always from the estate!
Speaking of the honey from the estate, though it was slightly inferior to the one from the space, the bees were also bred from the space, and the flowers they pollinated or the water they drank occasionally ca from the spring water she brought out of the space!
Others wondered why the produce from their estate tasted so good, unable to fathom it, while her family just found it strange, but never delved into why!
Her father, mother, and elder sisters had an answer in their hearts; they just didn’t share the secret with outsiders.
“Dad, Mom, Qing is right, we can only present what’s produced in our estate!”
Ye Luoqi said this, and her sisters all nodded, agreeing to the idea of giving honey.
“Yes, let’s give honey, but we haven’t prepared for this all of a sudden, and so of the honey from the estate has already been sold!”
Mrs. Li knew about the estate’s products, whenever sothing ca out, it was as if people slled it and wanted to buy it for a high price.
The estate’s housekeeper, her brother, of course wouldn’t pass up such a high-priced business, they would sell the honey when soone offered a good price!
“It’s fine, it’s already been a year since we last harvested the honeycombs, right? Now is the perfect chance to cut so, it’s sothing presentable and respectable, and lets others taste how delicious our estate’s products are!” Ye Shiqi once again suggested to her parents!
Mrs. Li and her husband exchanged glances, feeling their youngest daughter was right, and indeed, their ho’s honey was the only sowhat presentable thing.
