Li Qingshu thought that the earlier he sold the oil, the earlier he would be at ease. He just said that he would come with Xue Wen tomorrow, but since they were here to sell oil, Manager Qiao had no objections.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other after they agreed.

“Sir,” Jiang Yue said, “You’ve helped us so much. I don’t have much to give you, so I’ll give you this as thanks.”

As she spoke, Jiang Yue took the basket from Xue Erfu’s hands and removed the cloth covering it, revealing the plate of silver thread candy that was arranged neatly at the bottom of the basket. It was white, dense, and as thin as a hair.

Only then did Li Qingshu and Xue Wen realize that the basket wasn’t filled with dry food. Li Qingshu was extremely surprised. The candy was pretty intricate looking. Every strand was so thin, no wonder they called it silver thread candy.

Xue Wen wasn’t that surprised because his grandfather had been given a plate of silver thread candy the night before. His family’s Dabao and XiaoBao had also gotten a share. He thought that it was just something for the family, but he didn’t expect that it was Jiang Yue and the others who had made it to express their grat.i.tude to Manager Qiao.

Xue Wen could not help but feel even more grateful to Jiang Yue and the others. He had been blown away by their gestures countless times.

“You’re much too polite. But, what is this silver thread candy?” Just then, Manager Qiao lowered his head and saw the plate of silver thread candy in the small basket. His eyes lit up. “This is?”

Then, he quickly took out the plate of silver thread candy and stared at it carefully. His eyes were locked onto the candy as he kept asking, “How did you make this? I’ve never seen this kind of candy before.”

As the manager of Lakshmi Restaurant, he had been recently thinking that the restaurant was lacking in terms of desserts. If there were more varieties, it would surely attract a lot of people to the restaurant.

“This is made from malt sugar that has not yet turned white. Here’s the cooking method.” Jiang Yue took the paper from Xue Yan and pa.s.sed it to Manager Qiao.

This piece of paper was quite big. On it was the steps to make the silver thread candy, and there were even instructions on it.

When Manager Qiao heard this, he hurriedly put down the plate of silver thread candy and took the paper. When he opened it and saw the contents, his eyes brightened even more. He kept repeating, “So it’s actually done this way, I see. Interesting.”

“You can have a taste.” Jiang Yue said.

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.” Manager Qiao quickly picked up a small ball of silver thread candy. This silver thread candy had tens of thousands of fine threads, and it was pretty see-through. At first glance, it was very exquisite. When it was placed in his mouth, it immediately melted. The aftertaste was sweet, and it had a unique flavor. It was exquisite!

The shrewd Manager Qiao could understand the meaning behind Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s actions. This was a deal, and now no one owes anyone anything. However, he still asked, “You’re really giving this to me?”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan nodded.

“Manager, please accept this as our grat.i.tude.” Xue Erfu said.

“Alright, thank you.” Manager Qiao did not refuse and readily accepted it. He liked dealing with people like this the most so that his help would not be in vain. These two children were really smart people.

Everyone would feel more at ease with no debts after all.

“Sir.” Jiang Yue said, “You can wrap some stuffing inside when you roll the candy, such as peanut crisps and sesame seeds. It depends on what flavor you want.

“Alright. I’ll keep that in mind.” Manager Qiao agreed repeatedly and was even more delighted by the extra news.

When he sent Jiang Yue and the others off, he was so happy that he couldn’t help but tell them to come to him if they needed any help in the future. He would definitely help them if he could.
