The next day.

When Ning Meng got up, someone had already left.

Looking at the tidy yard, Ning Meng's mood was a bit complicated, and there was an inexplicable feeling that could not be explained clearly.

Submissively, she shook her head, what does it matter to her whether that guy comes back?

Why worry about him?

What the hell!
Ning Meng laughed at herself and set off for the town.

However, when she arrived at Tiantian Restaurant, shopkeeper Chen told him with a solemn face that Yan Dong didn't come home last night!
Ning Meng frowned slightly: "Didn't he tell you what's the matter?"

"No."

Shopkeeper Chen thought for a while and shook his head: "When he went out, he only said that he was going to buy something, so I didn't ask any more questions! I didn't expect that the restaurant was closed, and I haven't seen him come back yet."

"Okay, then leave him alone."

Ning Meng was silent for a while, thoughtfully: "You should do your work first! I have something to go to Yumanlou."

"Ok."

Ning Meng didn't stop at Tiantian Restaurant, so she walked directly to Yumanlou.

Ever since Yumanlou was transformed into a refreshment-style restaurant, customers have also come in an endless stream!

Many people choose to come here when they are talking or taking a break. After all, the environment is beautiful, the snacks are delicious and affordable, and the varieties are diverse, which makes people linger and forget to return.

"Miss Ning, happy new year!"

As soon as shopkeeper Yang saw Ning Meng, he took the initiative to go forward and greeted him warmly.

"Shopkeeper Yang, Happy New Year!"

Ning Meng looked at Shopkeeper Yang and smiled faintly: "Have you heard from Fang Yan?"

"not yet."

Shopkeeper Yang was stunned for a moment, with a serious expression on his face: "Shaodong's family should be very busy at this time, and I guess they won't be free until after the Lantern Festival is over."

"So busy?"

"Yeah, it's always been like this."

Shopkeeper Yang nodded, and said with a sneer, "What's the matter, Miss Ning?"

"Let's take a step to talk!"

"Okay, please follow me!"

backyard:

"Shopkeeper Yang, do you know anything about the county?"

Ning Meng didn't beat around the bush, but directly asked the question: "How is the school over there?"

"I stayed there in the early years, but I also met some people."

Shopkeeper Yang froze for a moment, but said honestly, "I don't know what you are asking the school for?"

"I'm going to send my child to study there!"

"study?"

Shopkeeper Yang looked at Ning Meng puzzled, and was a little shocked: "The distance from here to the county is not close, are you sure the child can bear it?"

"If the school over there is good, I plan to settle there."

Ning Meng explained her plan again, and smiled lightly: "I wonder if shopkeeper Yang can help me?"

"Please say."

"Can you write me a letter of introduction?"

"no problem."

Shopkeeper Yang nodded without hesitation: "Then Master Li used to be my good friend, so you should have no problem finding him."

"Okay, then thank you."

Ning Meng looked at Shopkeeper Yang and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Does Shopkeeper Yang know how to cook hot pot?"

"what is this?"

Shopkeeper Yang was slightly taken aback, and looked at Ning Meng puzzled: "Can you be more specific?"

Seeing shopkeeper Yang's bewildered face, Ning Meng felt even more certain that hot pot eating hadn't appeared in this dynasty, which meant that it was still feasible to open a hot pot restaurant.

So, she gave shopkeeper Yang a popular science about hot pot, and shopkeeper Yang was a little dumbfounded.

"By the way, I have a letter here that I need to trouble you to deliver to Fang Yan!"

Ning Meng handed the written letter to shopkeeper Yang: "Is it convenient?"

"Naturally it is convenient."

Shopkeeper Yang nodded, but looked at Ning Meng excitedly: "Miss Ning, so you plan to go to the county to open a hot pot restaurant?"

"Correct!"

"Why not open in this town?"

"There are refreshment-style restaurants and Tiantian restaurants here. If hot pot restaurants are added, there will probably be more meat and less monks."

"That's right."

Shopkeeper Yang suddenly realized, but he was a little worried: "But if you go there alone, will it be too much?"

"This is also what I want to discuss with Fang Yan!"

Ning Meng raised her eyebrows slightly: "Of course, now is the time for hiring, if you have any candidates to introduce, you can also recommend them."

"Not yet, but I'll keep an eye out."

"Well, this is just my preliminary plan. Let's talk about it after I have a thorough understanding of the situation in the county!"

"Okay, I see."

Shopkeeper Yang nodded knowingly: "If you need me, just ask!"

"Thank you, I won't be polite."

"By the way, how is Yumanlou's business these days?"

“It’s still full of seats, which is surprising!”

"That's good!"

Ning Meng smiled faintly: "If you have any questions, you can always come to me!"

"clear."

"Then I'll go first, and I'll trouble you about the letter."

"Okay, go slowly!"

Looking at the leaving figure, shopkeeper Yang's expression was very complicated, and his heart was full of emotions. This Ning Meng looks young, but she is very smooth in all aspects of her behavior, not like a little girl at all!

Especially the elegance and confidence that she exudes from her whole body, she is not inferior to the daughter of the capital in the slightest!
Even better than those spoiled noble girls!
=====
Naturally, Ning Meng didn't know what shopkeeper Yang was thinking. Walking on the street, watching passers-by coming and going, on a whim, she planned to buy a few books for the two little ones to take home.

However, just as she came out of the bookstore and passed by a shop selling buns, she was startled by a child who suddenly fell in front of her.

"Smelly girl, how dare you steal a bun?"

I saw the shopkeeper chasing after her, glaring angrily at the little girl who fell to the ground: "See how I will deal with you!"

After speaking, he was ready to kick the little girl.

"and many more."

Seeing this, Ning Meng hurriedly stopped: "How much, I will compensate you."

"Just... just ten pennies."

The shopkeeper froze for a moment, and answered a little reluctantly.

"Give!"

Ning Meng returned the money to him without hesitation, and bent over to help the little girl up: "Are you all right?"

"fine."

The little girl shook her head, panic and bewilderment flashed in her eyes, she looked at Ning Meng timidly: "Thank you, sister."

"where is your family?"

Ning Meng looked around and frowned slightly: "Why did you steal the buns?"

"Be... hungry!"

Seeing that Ning Meng was not malicious, the little girl said weakly: "Mother is sick and has no money to buy!"

Looking at the little girl with a yellow face in front of her, Ning Meng's heart ached inexplicably!
Thinking of the famine, she led the little girl to the noodle shop beside her!

"Boss, have a bowl of noodles."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After a while, a bowl of hot noodles was placed in front of them.

"Eat it!"

However, the little girl looked at her face, did not move for a long time, hesitated to speak!

"Why don't you eat?"

Ning Meng looked at the little girl and raised her eyebrows slightly: "You don't like it?"

"No, no!"

The little girl hastily denied it, and her tone became hasty and tense: "Sister, can I...can I take it away?"

"Why?"
