Even though the lady didn't know why Ye Xuan would treat the white-clothed gongzi with such an attitude, she was still a bit distant from him. She apologetically said, "This is my neighbor Big Brother Ye. He usually helps me a lot. He's a boorish person. Please forgive him."

He grimaced in pain, then quickly returned to normal.

Ye Xuan took his hand off Ye Chonglou's shoulder and followed the girl's words. "I'm used to being rude. I forgot that rich and noble young masters like you are even weaker than women."

What he said was too much. The little girl looked disapprovingly at him, but Ye Xuan turned a blind eye.

"You boorish fellow, you don't even need to weigh the consequences. On what basis are you calling my young master …" Bushi's face turned red. He wanted to argue and argue with this crude farmer, but he was stopped by his young master.

"Floating Stone." He didn't come here to make enemies. Besides, he didn't come to find Madam Chen to discuss things with her, so why bother!

However, with this small episode, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. The idyllic scene that was filled with joy just a moment ago became rough and unruly. He directly told the delicate lady the reason he came, "I had a discussion with shopkeeper Qiao at the Qiao family restaurant, although the business there is flourishing, the audience is limited. You all probably found out, if this continues, the future won't be too far off. I want to work with you guys to make the name of the Qiao family's restaurant very famous, shopkeeper Qiao said I came to ask for your opinion on this matter, so I took the liberty of asking for the address and found my own."

"The two of them are women, how can they cooperate with you?" Before the little girl could say anything, Ye Xuan frowned and didn't agree.

"Brother Ye, do you think that women are inferior to men? But as far as I know, most of the dishes in the Qiao family restaurant were provided by Lady Chen. Leaving aside the development of the Qiao family restaurant, in the entire journey here, I've never seen a small courtyard that was this clean and tidy. When I was asking for directions at the entrance of the village, I also heard some rumors. They said that the Chen family's daughter was extremely intelligent, so how could they not cooperate with me? "

Ye Xuan looked at Jiao Niang and noticed her unhappiness on the surface. He quickly explained, "I'm not saying that Jiao Niang is less intelligent than men, but rumors are bigger than tigers. I don't want her to …"

"I originally thought that Brother Ye was someone who had seen the world, but I didn't expect you to be so short-sighted and care about these things." There was a smile at the corner of his lips as he shook his head and tapped the fan in his hand, seemingly very pleased with himself.

"Enough, what's there to argue about? Brother Ye is only thinking about it, but I'll decide for myself. " The little girl made a gesture for Ye Xuan to return before inviting the two of them into the courtyard. She planned to discuss this matter in detail.

Her heart was a bit downcast because of Ye Xuan's words. What she said made her realize that in this era, if she wanted to be a merchant, she had to first recognize that she was a woman.

But was this lady willing to become an ordinary peasant woman? Even if she could earn some money from small fights and small fights, she had to admit that after these few months of peace and quiet, she still preferred to live a life of running around the mall.

A person's ability would determine how much she could do and how she was structured.

The little girl wanted to do her best to do things that could not be done in this era.

Originally, this was just a sprout, but now, it gave her hope of growing up.

If there was such a thing as fate, she would merely follow orders.

The little girl brought the little white face in, leaving Ye Xuan to stand outside the door in disappointment. The little girl was angry, he thought.

The girl was different from other women. She certainly didn't like what she said.

After standing there for a while in a daze, Ye Xuan returned home. He pondered for a moment, then placed a ladder onto a tree.

Instead of inviting him into the house, the lady invited him to sit under the peach tree in the yard.

While his daughter was in the house pouring tea, he looked around the small courtyard. The limestone floor was clean and refreshing, and there was a small vegetable patch in the corner. There was a shed on the left side where the firewood was neatly stacked.

The house was a bit shabby, but the owner was also very careful with it. There were flowers and plants in an earthen jar in front of the window, decorating the house.

Not long later, the lady came out, followed by a little boy who looked similar to her.

From the looks of her young age, she didn't seem that old. How come her children are already so old?

The little girl poured some tea while Iron Egg followed behind her, his hand tightly holding onto the little girl's clothes. The little girl smiled embarrassedly and said, "This is my little brother, he's a little shy."

Well done, as expected of the disciple he taught! Ye Xuan sat on top of the tree and pretended to be repairing the branches as he observed everyone's movements in the small yard next door.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and almost thought he wanted the boy to call him uncle.

Unexpectedly, Iron Egg rubbed his eyes, suddenly pointed his finger at the two men and said loudly, "The young master of the carriage who bought the dumplings with eight coins!"

He could still clearly remember that the dumplings were made of pumice in the morning. The people in the carriage looked really good, but he never thought that he would actually come back to his house.

At this time, Iron Egg no longer felt any unfamiliarity. The dumplings that he bought were his acquaintances, he must treat them well and make them fight to buy dumplings to eat.

This was something that the lady had taught him. He finally had the chance to put it to practice this time. Like a waiter, he served the tea to Winston. Iron Egg asked, "Are the dumplings delicious in the morning?"

For some reason, he found it hard to sit still. "It's better not to."

"You're from the same school. I don't know if you like dumplings with bean sprout stuffing. My sister just tried wrapping it up today. I'll get some for you to try it out!" Using his few pitiful words, Iron Egg eagerly ran to the kitchen to get the dumplings.

The little girl chuckled, "This little brat, I hope young master won't mind."

He said in a dry voice, "Your little brother is truly adorable. Why would I care?"

Floating Stone couldn't help laughing at the side. His young master was somewhat tasty, but he was usually unwilling to reveal his identity. However, he never thought that a child would be able to expose the truth of the matter.

What does the mistress think? Isn't it just something easy to eat? How was this a shameful matter.

Iron Egg placed the dumplings on a table made of bluestone. The lady then ordered him to play with the orchids at the bottom of the slope, or else he would have disturbed their conversation.

After Iron Egg left, the pretty girl picked up the teacup and took a sip. What she soaked was not tea water, but dried honeysuckle flowers soaked in water. The summer could still cool down.

"What did you mean by cooperation?" Are you going to invest in a merger with the Qiao Family Restaurant? Or is it to go somewhere else and build a new restaurant? "

The lady asked her doubts.

He was indeed someone who could cooperate with her. "I did not plan to go anywhere else because this time, I came here because of my family. I will likely develop here in the next three to five years. "I'm not interested in the clan's business, why don't you use the money in your hands to do something you like."

He did not conceal his praise for the Qiao family restaurant, but instead pointed out the shortcomings of the Qiao family restaurant's current operation direction.

"You're saying that you want to open a second Qiao family restaurant mainly for the rich?"

The pampered maiden frowned slightly. At first glance, this idea sounded very plausible, but upon careful consideration, it turned out that it was not feasible at all. She had asked Qiao Ke about Qingyuan County's backer. Although the land was considered large compared to the population, the terrain had been cut into pieces by the mountains, which was not conducive to large-scale farming. Once they left Qingyuan County and headed east, there would appear a large river called the Lancang River.

Qingyuan County happened to be around the bend where the Lancang River flowed down, and the plain was flat from the impact. However, every year, the Lancang River would flood and flood the plains, so this large piece of land was unusable.

These girls had already known about it long ago. Now, after hearing the opinion of the young master, they were somewhat puzzled. "Qing Yuan County has many poor and few rich people. It's impossible for them to earn as much from high-end routes as the young master had thought."
