The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 370 Spring is blooming
The women worked hard to prepare a sumptuous meal, including stewed chicken, roasted chicken, fried bacon, and steamed fish.

It really was like a banquet.

Ah Xiu helped to serve the dishes and put out the bowls and chopsticks, busy as a bee. Pomegranate Eyes couldn't help but smile when she saw Zhou Xudou's eyes always watching Ah Xiu, as if he was afraid that she would get scalded or drop the dishes.

The meal was finally served. Shi Liu was invited to sit at the main table, accompanied by Village Chief Mei and Zhou Xudou, and she felt the hospitality of the people of Gufeng Village.

Don’t underestimate the village women’s cooking skills. Even though they don’t have any good seasonings, the meals they prepare have a unique flavor.

Shi Liu was very considerate and almost ate too much in the end, which made Zhou Xudu and the others who were watching couldn't help but feel very happy.

For a woman who is busy with household chores, the most joyful thing is that the meals she prepares with great effort are liked by the guests.

After the meal, Shi Liu and his party were warmly seen off by the people of Gufeng Village. The villagers did not stop until they were outside the village and watched them get on the carriage.

Shi Liu bowed to Village Chief Mei and Zhou Xu and said, "From now on, I'll have to trouble Village Chief Mei and Master Zhou to take care of the workshop."

Village Chief Mei patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Miss Li, I'm here and there will be no trouble in the workshop."

Zhou Xudou also said that all the villagers are grateful and will work hard and will not let Miss Li's workshop be delayed in their village.

Shi Liu smiled and finally looked at Qian Jinzhong.

Qian Jinzhong cupped his hands and said, "Miss, please rest assured."

Shi Liu nodded and lowered the curtain.

The carriage moved slowly away. After watching it go away, Village Chief Mei smiled and asked Qian Jinzhong to go back to the village.

From then on, Qian Jinzhong was stationed in Gufeng Village. Before the workshop was built, he temporarily stayed in the village chief's house.

With Zhou Xudou around, Shi Liu was not afraid that anything might happen to Qian Jinzhong here.

If she trusted Zhou Xudou, she could trust Gu Fengcun.
Furthermore, the owners of the herbal medicine restaurants and candy shops in the city all know that Qian Jinzhong is here and will come to visit often.

When she returned later and passed by here, she thought the workshop had been built and put into operation.

Now that we have a branch workshop here, urgent goods to Jinzhou can be shipped out from here first, which saves several days’ journey.

On the ninth day after leaving home, Shi Liu and his party entered Jintang County, which is within the jurisdiction of Jinzhou.

It is mid-March now, the spring breeze is warm, the scenery is pleasant, and more people are traveling.

After walking for most of the day, they still didn't see the city walls, but there was a teahouse flag fluttering in the wind ahead.

Zuo Cheng, who was in charge of exploring the way, immediately said, "Miss, there is a teahouse in front of us, and they sell steamed buns. Do you want to stop and rest for a while?"

On the way, it is not always easy. It is common to have some dry food. When Shi Liu heard that there were hot buns to eat, his eyes lit up after sitting for most of the day.

"Well, I don't know how long it will take to get into the city, let's fill our stomachs first and then continue on our journey."

As soon as Shi Liu spoke, the convoy reached the teapot and stopped.

There were already several tables of travelers sitting in the teahouse, chatting animatedly about all sorts of things.

Shi Liu and his group parked their carriage and got in. Soon the proprietress brought them steaming buns and hot tea.

Shi Liu held a cup of hot tea and listened to the guests at the nearby tables chatting.

"Eh? Have you heard? The court sent General Zhaowei to Cangzhou to wipe out the rebels, but they came up empty-handed. They didn't catch a single rebel, let alone the rebel leader Li Yan. That Cangzhou is not the rebels' base camp at all!"

"How could it be? Didn't they say that the arrested incense master confessed it himself? Could it be false?"

"Mice can dig holes, but who knows which hole they are in? We can't catch this rebel, and recently even the inspections for entering the city have been stricter, which has caused a lot of trouble for our caravan." "Well, don't say it. It's troublesome, but I'm afraid that some of the inspectors will ask us to pay money to avoid trouble in the name of inspection! I lost a large sum of money when I passed Wei County a few days ago."

"It's hard to meet the King of Hell, and it's hard to deal with the little ghosts. What can I do?"

"Brother Wang, where are you going this time?"

"I'm going to Changping Mansion!"

"It's still a long way to go. I heard there's a big event in Xuanzhou in April. Brother Wang, you're here to join in the fun!"

"Well, the affairs of the underworld have nothing to do with our business travels around the country, but we can go to the Peony Flower Fair to see what it is like!"

"What Peony Festival?"

"Peony Flower Festival"

Pomegranate picked up a meat bun and started eating it, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he listened to the conversation.

Lost everything?

Then how come the Cangzhou that Zhu Dan gave out was not real?

Under that circumstance, it was impossible for Zhu Dan to deliberately tell lies.

In other words, these remnants of the previous dynasty have an apparent base in Cangzhou. At least these basic incense masters and hall masters all know about it, but the specific location of the base is probably hidden deep by Li Yan.

Thinking about how someone had been following her quietly all the way from the city, Shi Liu pursed her lips.

Follow her, follow her, just follow her.

It was a beautiful spring day with flowers blooming and it was also a holiday, so Fan Jin took a mule cart into the city.

He bought a two-story house in Situo Hutong and settled the people he bought there.

Normally, people from all over the world would often come to the city to check on the progress. After the past two or three months, several of them had practiced very well according to the booklet he gave them. Just half a month ago, Hong Gu successfully entered the inner house of the Hu family, a wealthy family in Luoshui County, to help the eldest grandmother of the Hu family, who had just given birth, to recover and regain her figure.

The Hu family was wealthy, and Grandma Hu and Young Master Hu had been married for only two years. Young Master Hu was a womanizer, so Grandma Hu naturally wanted to hold her husband tightly. With this idea in mind, Hong Gu took advantage of it and successfully got close to Grandma Hu.

I believe that as long as Grandma Hu sees results, she will naturally trust Hong Gu more. With the case of Grandma Hu in the past, there will be no problem in opening up the market for inner houses in Luoshui County.

Now, she received another business order. The daughter of Fu Ji Silk Shop had been obese since childhood. Now she was old enough to get married, but it was very difficult to do so. Therefore, Miss He wanted to change her figure. It happened that Grandma Hu was her cousin, so she introduced Hong Gu to Miss He.

That’s two deals.

As long as the customer is satisfied, you can make a few hundred taels of silver from this single business.

Fan Jin doesn't know how to do other business, so he earns some money from this.

When I came to the city, I had to go to the bookstore to have a look. I picked out a few books and bought some paper and ink. As soon as I left the bookstore, I ran into Xiang Donghe, a scholar I had met when I took part in the county and prefectural examinations.

"Brother Fan!"

"Brother Xiang!"

"Brother Fan, there is a literary gathering at Yu Lake today. Brother Zhou and the others are all there. Do you want to come with us?"

Fan Jin didn't want to join in the fun, but when he heard that Zhou Bingwen was there, he agreed.

The literary gatherings that Zhou Bingwen attended would not be for gimmicks. It would also be good to listen to other people's opinions. After all, when it comes to reading, it is not good to turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside and focus only on reading the books of sages.
