Chapter 269
The late mother did indeed change her name.
That man was really washed away by the rain just as she said.
After that day, it rained heavily for three consecutive days.
Therefore, the man stayed in the water for seven or eight days before he was finally discovered on a shore.
In the end, it was true that no government officials came to the door.
However, the government issued an announcement reminding people in Jiang'an County not to risk going out during heavy rains.
Afterwards, people spread the news that in those days it rained heavily, there were strong winds, lightning and thunder, and someone got drunk and accidentally ran out and fell into the river.
Jiang'an County is originally a place with a developed water system.
There are countless big and small rivers.
People often fall into the river and drown unfortunately.
During that time, every household reminded their children that they were strictly prohibited from bathing in the river.
I was afraid something would happen.
This matter completely disappeared with the official announcement.
From time to time, someone will sigh and sigh.
No one doubted that Wan Niang had killed someone.
Later, Wan Niang shut down the painting boat and dismissed everyone.
However, at that time, there were not many people on the boat.
Jiang Anning only learned later that Jiao Niang's people not only killed Wu Niang, but also the other little sisters who had worked with Wan Niang in the past were also brutally murdered.
Later, Wan Niang opened this restaurant.
Gently with ginger.
Jiang Qingqing helped Jiang Anning pretend to be a big shipping dealer with a lot of money, and went to Jiangjia Village to buy silkworm cocoons several times, and finally found some clues in it.
Especially after the Sang brothers raised five-color silkworm cocoons.
She even saw gold, silver and jewelry packed with gold and silver, waving to her.
It was also at this time that Jiang Anning and the others realized that Jiang Qingqing was really the daughter of a big ship merchant!
The five-color cocoon business came about through Jiang Qingqing's matchmaking, allowing Chaohuang Embroidery House and the ship merchant Jiang family to cooperate together.
Later, Jiang Anning used those five-color silk to make handkerchiefs, clothes, etc.
As soon as these came out, they were snapped up by everyone.
Especially in Beijing.
"...You are going to the capital, can I not get ready?"
Jiang Anning came back to her senses amidst the late mother's muttering.
"What does this have to do with me going to the capital?"
The wife immediately stared, then pretended to cover her face and cry: "I knew you were heartless."
Jiang Anning:......
Why does she have no heart?
The wife was even more angry when she saw the man's ignorant and innocent look.
"Now that you go to the capital, I don't know when you will be able to come back."
She was full of worry, especially hating that Jiang Anning was so heartless.
Jiang Anning nodded in agreement.
But I just don’t know what year it will be before I can come back.
Whether I can come back or not is a matter of debate.
"You still nodded!"
"I see you are really not in a hurry."
"If the emperor is not anxious, the eunuch will be anxious!"
Jiang Anning blinked, looking a little innocent: "Why are you so anxious?"
The way it is now is very good.
What's there to be anxious about?
If there was something that she needed to be anxious about, it would probably be that she couldn't go to the capital immediately.
Unable to immediately investigate the truth behind the murder of grandma and father, the murderer was killed.
"You, you are just going to piss me off!"
The late mother glared at the person and said earnestly: "What kind of place is the capital? Is the imperial city at the emperor's feet such a nice place to go?"
"You're here, will they arrange accommodation for you?"
"If they don't make arrangements for you, do you have to find a place to live on your own?"
"If someone arranges it for you, do you have to spend money to manage it, so as not to be stumbling upon you secretly?"
“When the time comes, I will be tricked by someone, and I won’t even know how I was harmed.”
The late mother snorted: "As the old saying has long said, the king of hell is easy to see, but the devil is difficult to deal with."
"You are so polite and friendly with people, but you are unfamiliar with the place. What if those evil-hearted people say something bad about you in front of the noble person, leaving a bad impression on you?" Isn’t that what happened? You don’t even know how?”
Jiang Anning curled her lips and was a little unconcerned with Wan Niang's words: "If the brat really wants to harm me, if the black-hearted guy really wants to slander me, how can he not just because I treat him well and give him benefits? Make things difficult for me.”
Is it because she is not good enough to Zhao Hai's family?
But what's the result?
Who else appreciates her kindness?
Don't say thank you, or even show mercy.
In the last life, when Zhao Hai beat her to death, did he hesitate for a moment, thinking of the benefits she had given to their family?
No!
"There's nothing wrong with greeting people with a funny face! If you don't try to build a good relationship with people first and use gold and silver to do it, how do you know you can't avoid risks?"
"Isn't that the old saying? Don't hit the smiling person with your hand, but money can make the world go round!"
The late mother is confident.
Jiang Anning was more confident than she was: "The person who wants to hit you will not show mercy to you just because you smiled at him."
"On the contrary, it is very likely that because you smile, flatter, and grovel to him, he will bully and humiliate you even more unscrupulously! People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong."
Wan Niang was speechless and couldn't say anything to refute for a while.
In the end, he just choked out and said: "You are using strong words to make excuses."
Jiang Anning looked at her and raised her hands in surrender.
"Okay, okay, even what you said makes sense."
"Then, even if you don't think about accommodation, taking care of things, and giving gifts and favors, you still have to think about food, right? Do you need to buy the clothes of the Four Seasons again when you get there?"
"What kind of climate is it there? Is it colder or hotter than our Jiang'an County?"
"You always have to consider these, right?"
"Furthermore, once you need to worry about food and accommodation, the rent will be a big expense, right?"
"After you went to the capital and worked for others, did you get paid? Did you just get a good reputation, or did they pay you a monthly salary?"
"This was never made clear at the beginning, right?"
"What if they don't give me money?"
"You have to worry about more things and spend more money, right?"
"I asked the passing ship dealers. In the winter in the capital, they need to burn charcoal for heating. The money just to buy charcoal is a huge expense."
"He also said that in summer over there, the heat is unbearable. If you don't put some ice in the house to cool down, it will be too hot to be around people."
"This money to buy ice is a big expense."
"And I heard that this ice is not something ordinary people can afford."
"If you want to buy it as an ordinary person, you will have to pay a higher price."
The late wife glanced sideways at the person and snorted coldly: "Everything like this is a big expense."
"Even if you have some savings now and you have the ability to make a lot of money, if this money can only go in but not go out, then it is a mountain of gold and silver, and it will be spent sooner or later, right?"
Jiang Anning said "Huh": "But, what does this have to do with you opening a Taotie restaurant?"
It's not that she wanted to say something sarcastic, or that she looked down on Wan Niang.
In fact, in a small place like Jiang'an County, the revenue from a restaurant is really not that good. It's not that I lost money, but that little money was not even as high as the five-color embroidered handkerchief sold at Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop.
What can be done?
You can't. You want to open the Taotie Tower to the capital, right?
...Even if you really have to lose money, you really have to spend a lot of money to take care of it.
Jiang Anning felt that she was telling the truth.
Unexpectedly, he stepped on Wan Niang's tail, and the angry man stared at her.
If his eyes were murderous, Jiang Anning might have been cut into pieces by the look in her eyes.
"So I say you are really heartless."
"What else can I do for?"
"Of course it's to make money and provide you with travel expenses!"
"It's not a good idea to go to the capital empty-handed. No matter where you go, you will be hard-pressed if you encounter things that require money."
Jiang Anning touched her nose and was embarrassed to say how much money such a small restaurant could make.
Barely making ends meet is already a big deal, right?
Unexpectedly, he was caught.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
The wife pinched her waist and stared at the person: "Do you think that this small restaurant of mine can't make much money?"
"It's not that I don't have it, don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Anning quickly waved her hand to reject it.
She was really afraid of people.
It's not that Wan Niang is so fierce... On the contrary, if Wan Niang is really fierce and a tigress, she really wouldn't be so frightened.
No matter how sarcastic or vicious someone is, she has experienced them all.
Even if you don't scold him back, you have already learned how to put it in one ear and out the other.
But the late wife is not.
The night lady is the kind of person who, once you make her angry, she won't say anything, she will just sit there and look at you silently, and then cry silently.
I feel pity for the beauty when she sheds tears.
There is a saying from the late wife, but it is not really a boast.
She is really beautiful.
Especially when the pear blossoms and the rain are crying, her little appearance is simply... When she sees a woman, she can't help but feel excited.
It's so beautiful that you can't help but pity her.
She couldn't stand it.
"You are obviously guilty! You are sophistical!" Wan Niang snorted and was about to burst into tears.
Jiang Anning quickly raised her hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, tell me, what is the daily revenue of this restaurant?"
"This number!"
The evening mother's face turned from gloomy to clear, and she stretched out her hand, feeling a little bit uncontrollably proud.
Jiang Anning counted the five fingers of the person and said uncertainly: "Five taels?"
The late wife immediately rolled her eyes at her: "What five taels!"
"Look at you, you look like you have never seen the world!"
Jiang Anning blinked: "What about fifty taels?"
To be fair, being able to maintain a daily revenue of fifty taels can indeed be said to be a very good income.
Unexpectedly, the wife still stared at her.
"Be bold and guess!"
Jiang Anning blinked and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "It couldn't be five hundred taels, right?"
If that's the case, that's really amazing.
But this is not very realistic, right?
In a small place like Jiang'an County, the daily revenue of a room on the 9th floor can be 500 taels?
Even in a gold-selling cave like Huafanghualou, people often spend a lot of money. It's hard to say that the daily revenue reaches 500 taels, right?
Let's put it this way, five hundred taels was all the money she had spent on the Zhao family, including the ones that were later imported, for a family of nine people, for six years.
The kind of oily and smooth food that is enough to feed people.
In a small place like theirs, a family of five can live very well with an income of two taels of silver a year.
Five hundred taels... can almost be considered a wealthy gentleman.
Of course, this is just in their remote and barren country.
She heard that in those land of plenty, it was very common to get a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver a year.
Unexpectedly, Wan Niang still shook her head.
"Don't worry and make more bold guesses."
The bride's arrogant little face was full of pride, as if she were a proud cat. She held her head high and condescending even when asking for praise.
"I couldn't be more bold."
Jiang Anning glanced at the person: "What did you do? Steal money?"
"I have a pretty good idea of the consumption level in Jiang'an County."
"Even if I didn't count it before, Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop, which has been operating for half a year, more or less counts it."
"What kind of people come to your place to eat every day and can make you earn as much as five hundred taels... What are they eating? Braised bear paws? Stewed dragon with hazel mushrooms?"
"Even if you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, you won't be able to earn so much every day."
The late wife muttered, very unhappy: "You are really boring."
"Then why can't I earn five thousand taels a day?"
Jiang Anning really felt that Wan Niang's words didn't sound like a joke.
"Are you telling me the truth?"
"No...what are you selling in this restaurant?"
"It's not enough to kill primitive people now!"
Jiang Anning was really curious, "What, did you drug them?"
She looked around, wanting to see if there were any other hidden mysteries in the restaurant.
But looking around, I couldn't see anything wrong.
"What kind of medicine!"
The late wife glared at him: "Can't you think better of me? Or do you think I am just the kind of person who only does dirty things?"
Jiang Anning shook her head.
"I naturally believe in your character, but..."
No matter how much I believe it, I can't imagine how this restaurant can do it and make five thousand taels of revenue every day.
Even if you went to rob wealthy people in the city, you might not be able to get five thousand taels of silver.
That’s a lot of money!
You can even buy a street in Jiang'an County!
How can you sell such rare things to earn enough money to buy a whole street in one day?
"Did you trick people into selling fake medicine?"
Jiang Anning thought about it and felt that this might be the biggest one.
She has also heard that there are some charlatans and charlatans who often exaggerate and promote that the things they sell can prolong life. If people eat them, they will live a long life without any disease or disaster.
Worst of all, it can also strengthen your body.
In fact, it is useless.
But unfortunately, too many people believe in this kind of beautiful prayer.
Spending a lot of money on those so-called medicinal dietary prescriptions that prolong life, strengthen the body, or are panaceas.
In barrage terms, they sell health care products.
Even this thing may not necessarily make people eat well, and the food they eat may prolong their lives and keep them strong.
On the contrary, it is very likely that the person will develop something wrong, die, and be plagued by pain and illness.
