Pan Ping'an was the one who came running to the Jing Family courtyard with a large silver carp and a jar of aged wine in tow, clamoring as soon as he entered to have a good drink with Jing Taihe.
Last time, he had taken away two large baskets of Orange Cake and Crispy Yellow Turnip from Hua Xiaomai for five hundred copper coins. Nearly a month had passed, and although he did not know how the candied cakes were selling, the fact that he was willing to return for a second time suggested a satisfying income.
Hua Erniang was so delighted she couldn't stop wriggling her waist. Upon entering the room and turning away from the others, she exchanged winks and giggles with Hua Xiaomai, whispering excitedly that this was shaping up to be a long-term deal. Hua Xiaomai stuck out her tongue and felt a wave of joy in her heart. She ran out with a bright smile to greet Pan Ping'an.
