Zhulan wondered for a moment who the Qi Clan was. "The daughter-in-law of the Xu family who used to be our neighbors in the capital?"
Lady Li nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's her. Mother, I thought she had forgotten all about me."
It had been almost a year; they hadn't been in touch, and she had felt regret that her rare friendship had come to an end!
Zhulan, puzzled, asked, "Why are you bringing her letter to me?"
Lady Li was overjoyed, "Mother, mother, haven't I made flavors of sausage that aren't found in the market? The Qi Clan wants to do business in this area, specifically targeting overseas. She asks whether I want to sell the recipe or share profits from it. She suggested profit sharing. Mother, what do you think?"
Zhulan inquired, "Can I take a look at your correspondence?"
Lady Li felt there was nothing to hide from her mother-in-law; in fact, she'd feel more at ease if her mother-in-law saw it. "Here you are, mother."
