Chapter 272
"Things are rare and valuable."
"This is a truth summed up by our ancestors through experience and lessons."
Seeing that Jiang Anning's face was still confused, Wan Niang covered her mouth and laughed twice, explaining to others: "Although our food is simple and fast to make, who of the people who come here to eat are in a hurry? ?”
"If you make this thing for them too quickly, they will think your quality is not good enough."
"But if you ask them to wait a little longer, then you can stew them a cup of bird's nest when the time is almost up, and they will feel that this cup of bird's nest is extra special."
Jiang Anning's mouth twitched slightly.
"Here's nonsense."
She said that what Wan Niang said was fallacy, but she couldn't help but agree with it in her heart.
Just...
"After all, you haven't said yet, what exactly is this thing and how did you get it?"
Jiang Anning was very doubtful about the safety of this thing.
The late mother blinked and said frankly: "Jiang Qingqing gave it to me, saying it was inherited from her master."
Jiang Anning's eyes widened instantly.
She knew it! !
This sounds like selling fake medicine, and it must have something to do with that godly girl.
"No, you can't sell this thing anymore!"
Jiang Anning didn't even think twice and sternly stopped Wan Niang's business.
"Why?"
The late wife opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Anning incomprehensively.
"How good the business of Taotie House is now!"
"How can you say you won't do it and then don't do it?"
She raised her chin in the direction of the door: "You know why? Taotielou only sells five copies of this health-preserving product every day, and the reservation quotas have already been queued up to March next year. There are still such people downstairs. Are there many people coming to eat? ”
"Because their most real purpose is not to come to eat."
"Perhaps this is for food."
"But definitely not the majority."
"More of them are just people who are waiting to see the five health-preserving products they bought."
"That's something they may not be able to see even though they try their best - a big shot!"
"It is because of this that Taotie House's business will get better and better."
"Even if you don't count the five health-preserving products sold every day, just from the people coming and going to eat every day, you already have a revenue of thousands of taels!"
"Do you know what this means in Jiang'an County?"
"Now, even if I say that I am the richest man in Jiang'an County, few people dare to refute it loudly."
"And all of this will be your financial guarantee for going to the capital in the future!"
"A poor family has a rich life, and I don't have any money. How can I go out and make a living?"
The late wife really didn't understand why Jiang Anning repeatedly opposed her and belittled her for running the Taotie House.
"I opened this restaurant not just for myself."
She was more interested in Jiang Anning!
She wants to be Jiang Anning's biggest financial support!
This is the only thing she can do to repay Jiang Anning!
It was Jiang Anning who pulled her out of the mire.
She remembers it!
She always remembers it!
But she doesn't understand, really can't understand.
"Then let me ask you, do you know what this thing is that can make people rejuvenate and stay young forever? What are its ingredients? What are the side effects? What kind of harm will it cause to the human body? ?”
"If something goes wrong once you eat people..."
The late mother retorted: "What's the problem? What problem can there be?"
"Everyone has eaten it and they all think it's very effective."
"Why do you have to pour cold water on me?"
"What's wrong with always thinking about this thing?"
Jiang Anning pursed her lips.
"Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature."
"A person has aged normally because he has become young again after taking a certain kind of food or medicine."
"Don't you think this sounds ridiculous?"
"Where is the absurdity?"
The late wife said with a straight face, "Those men will take a lot of tonics before they are happy! They don't think it's ridiculous, why do you think it's ridiculous when I sell a tonic?"
"What's more, those men keep insisting that the stuff that can replenish the kidneys and strengthen yang may actually be of no use at all. Instead, it may be too weak to be replenished... Aren't those selling aphrodisiacs still good?"
"Compared with them, at least the things I sell are authentic, effective and guaranteed."
"The effect of this thing is obvious to everyone."
Jiang Anning looked at Wan Niang for a long time and sighed helplessly.
"So, what is it that you add to the bird's nest as a supplement?"
Being questioned again, Wan Niang felt guilty for a moment.
"You said this thing has the effect of rejuvenating youth and lasting youth."
"But I see that most of the people coming and going here are men."
"And you just mentioned that men are more superstitious about aphrodisiacs and kidneys."
"If I'm not wrong, this bird's nest of yours, in addition to the effect of eternal youth and rejuvenation, in fact, it also has the effect of allowing people to show their glory again."
The late wife stopped talking.
"You also said that the people who come downstairs to eat are mostly waiting to meet the people who bought those five health-preserving products."
"The people who say they bought these five health-preserving products are big shots that they may not be able to meet even though they try their best!"
"But what kind of place is Jiang'an County?"
"A remote place where birds don't shit."
"The biggest person who has ever appeared is probably the county magistrate."
"Where are the other big shots?"
"Unless these big shots come from other places."
"With today's traffic conditions, it would take at least three days to go back and forth to a place a little further away."
"What kind of big shot has so much time to come to Jiang'an County just to drink a cup of bird's nest?"
Jiang Anning sneered: "So those who come here to buy things are most likely just servants of those big shots."
"How can a servant be worthy of so many people coming here to wait and see him in person?"
"Unless..."
Jiang Anning's voice paused slightly. Seeing Wan Niang's obvious guilty conscience, she became more and more sure of her guess.
She chuckled twice: "Unless the identity of the owner behind these visitors is unusual."
"As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister."
"It's worth traveling thousands of miles to meet this servant in such a small county town restaurant. Xiao Lai is no ordinary servant."
The wife's eyes dodge: "As long as you enter the door, you are a guest, no matter what is ordinary or extraordinary..."
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Jiang Anning asked again, and the wife took a few steps back, wringing the handkerchief with her fingers, lowering her head and saying nothing.
"Did Jiang Qingqing instruct you?"
Jiang Anning asked again.
The late mother shook her head: "No..."
"Who is that?"
The late wife stopped talking again.
Jiang Anning simply stopped asking, stood up, and glanced at the person: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."
"I won't ask anymore."
"From now on, you and I, bridge to bridge, road to road, stay safe!"
The late wife looked at the person in disbelief, feeling sad and aggrieved: "You don't want me anymore?"
Jiang Anning:......
She simply rolled her eyes at him.
"I will redeem your life, and you will grind Zhao Yuanshan to death for me. The deal between us has been completed."
"It can also be said that we don't owe each other." "There is no relationship between who wants something and who doesn't want someone."
Jiang Anning left after saying that.
The late wife chased after him and held his hand: "Don't leave."
"I have taken your last name."
"Then I am yours."
"It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not."
She pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved, and her eyes turned red.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you."
"I just don't know what to say."
That she just blindly fell in love with a man, but the man just used her and had no affection for her at all, but she stupidly took out her heart?
But seeing that Jiang Anning didn't look like he was joking with her, Wan Niang was scared.
"Don't leave."
"I only have you now..."
She sobbed a few times: "I, I, I am, it's because of Wang Shang."
"Who?"
Jiang Anning was really surprised.
"Wang Shang."
The late wife said it again.
This time, Jiang Anning was really shocked.
She thought about many possibilities, especially doubting Jiang Qingqing.
But he never thought that he would hear the name Wang Shang from Wan Niang's mouth.
"How do you know..." Wang Shang?
Before Jiang Anning had time to say the next words, she suddenly thought of the melon seed frying master who was painting a boat at that time and was favored by Song Yao.
At that time, the person who bought the painting studio seemed to be a spoiled woman.
In fact, the person who really gave the orders was probably Wang Shang, who was disguised as a melon seed frying master.
"He..."
Jiang Anning wanted to ask Wan Niang why she suddenly worked for Wang Shang.
I haven't figured out how to word it yet.
The late wife choked up and said, "I like him."
What the hell? ? ?
Jiang Anning's eyes widened and she looked at the bride in disbelief.
"I like Wang Shang."
"I boldly pursued him at Huafang."
The wife laughed at herself: "You must think I'm stupid, right?"
"I feel the same way."
"A person like me, from my background, as humble as the dust on the ground, dares to think about the clouds in the sky."
"So not surprisingly, I was rejected by him."
"But I am not willing to accept it."
"I also know that I am stupid and ridiculous."
"But I just like him."
"I have never seen a gentleman as humble and courteous as him."
"He's so nice."
"Really!"
"He is like a cold and banished immortal above the nine heavens who looks down upon the common people."
"Just looking at it makes you feel blasphemous."
"Although he rejected me later, he told me about Taotie Tower."
Jiang Anning frowned: "He told you about Taotie Tower?"
"Yes!"
The late wife smiled sadly: "He was the one who told me that the original owner of Taotie Restaurant couldn't afford the money due to poor management of the restaurant and wanted to transfer it out at a low price."
"He also said that he learned the news in advance because he had a very good relationship with the former owner of Taotie Tower."
"Today, no one outside knows that the former owner of Taotie Restaurant wants to sell the restaurant out at a low price."
"He said that if I want to start my own business and live no longer dependent on anyone, I can buy this restaurant and make it bigger and stronger."
Jiang Anning frowned: "He..."
"But he probably doesn't know that there is a steward in the house of the former owner of Taotie House, who was once my benefactor."
The wife smiled at herself: "He told me why the former owner of Taotie Restaurant wanted to transfer the restaurant at a low price."
She explained Wang Shang's plan to Jiang Anning in detail in a mocking tone.
"Since you know Wang Shang wants to plot against you, why do you still..." Jump into the pit and take the Taotie Tower?
Jiang Anning didn't have time to finish her doubtful words.
The late mother laughed at herself and said: "I like him!"
"I want to get closer to him in this way."
"Even if I know that all this is just self-deception on my part."
"But I did it anyway."
"Isn't it ridiculous?"
Jiang Anning really didn't know what to say.
"It must have been a coincidence later."
"Jiang Qingqing found me and said that he could provide me with signature supplements that can help people rejuvenate and stay young forever."
"I thought that since I have already acquired Taotie Real Estate, I might as well run it well."
“I’m not sure I can really make money.”
Jiang Anning frowned slightly, not quite understanding, what is the relationship between these two things?
"You may want to ask, why did Wang Shang lie to me to buy Taotie House?"
The late wife smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know either."
"I have never understood this man."
"However, I guess it has something to do with you."
"Their group didn't know what their purpose was. After taking stock of the boat, they started asking me about you in various indirect ways."
"Especially, about Zhao Yuanshan."
She chuckled twice: "They seem to be very concerned about whether Zhao Yuanshan was tortured by you to extract a confession, and did you say anything?"
"I guess Zhao Yuanshan must have something to do with them."
"But don't worry, everything I told them about you was made up by me, half truths and half lies."
The late mother glanced at Jiang Anning: "I definitely never betrayed you."
Jiang Anning said "Hmm".
I want to say that it doesn't matter even if I betray you.
Anyway, strictly speaking... the late mother doesn't know anything about her.
And there is nothing about her that no one should know about.
To be honest, there is probably only one secret about her.
That is to see the barrage.
As long as she doesn't speak out about this kind of thing, no one will know about it.
It is impossible for Wang Shang and others to find out anything through Wan Niang.
At most...
I know that Wan Niang’s spice recipe was provided by her.
But this is not really a secret.
From the beginning, she didn't think that this matter would eventually be found out on her.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
She had just come to Hua Fang to redeem herself for Wan Niang, and Wan Niang immediately had the "ancestral" spice recipe. No matter who heard this connection, they would become suspicious.
It was only a matter of time before he was discovered.
It is possible that she was already suspected from the very beginning.
Wang Shang, Jiao Niang and others approached Wan Niang just because they wanted to get more concrete evidence.
