Sister Zhang instructed Steward Wong to convey her thanks to Qian Yixiu, saying that the sweet fermented rice was very delicious, and even sent her six silk flowers and six ribbons for tying her hair as gifts.
She also hinted to Steward Wong that she had only tasted a spoonful of the sweet fermented rice before offering it to her master, who also liked it very much, and said it was even better than that of Drunken Immortal Residence. She suggested that next time when coming to the provincial city, it would be best to ask for a couple more jars.
Seeing that he had pleased Sister Zhang, and even the master was fond of it, Steward Wong was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in agreement. His daughter, Lv Ping, was beautiful and smart, serving in Second Madam's courtyard, and with Sister Zhang's patronage, her chances of being promoted to head maid were even greater.
