Everyone was spreading word in the Lin Family Village that Second Brother Wang had sent Long Zhaofeng back to the Lancang River. Before the Dragon King could even repay Second Brother Wang, he was already harmed by the scoundrels, so Prince Long had no choice but to heavily reward him with gold to see who could catch the killer of Second Brother Wang.

"Then is the Dragon King really bestowing gold?" Some people didn't believe that Prince Long would be so kind as to actually take out gold and gift it to others. The world only saw those that offered it to Prince Long, but not those that were grateful to the world.

"How can that be false? My brother-in-law's daughter-in-law's uncle is from the Lin Village. At that time, Second Brother Wang disappeared and the entire village went to find him. Where do you think they found him?"

The curiosity of the surrounding people was piqued. "Where did you find it?"

"I'm telling you guys, don't tell others that I was the one who said it. Second Brother Wang died in his lake!"

"Tsk, so that's what you wanted to say. We also know!" Everyone looked on with disdain. They already knew where Second Brother Wang died, okay?

"Hey, don't worry. Listen to me. Don't you guys know how they found Second Brother Wang lying in the mud in the middle of the night? It was all because of the gold the Dragon King gave him! When the gold was discovered, it was not stained at all by the mud. It glistened with golden light and almost blinded the eyes of my brother-in-law's wife! Such a huge piece of gold! " The man gestured with his hand, afraid that the others would not believe him.

"Is this a lie? Where is the gold now? "

In the hands of Second Elder Wang's wife, his wife said that if anyone can find out how Second Elder Wang died and was killed by someone, then the gold will be given to that person. No matter what, they must give Second Elder Wang justice.

The cute girl sat on the second floor of the Qiao family restaurant, listening to a deep voice blowing into the sky from below, as if he had seen all of this with his own eyes. She suddenly laughed and asked Huang Yi who was drinking tea by her side: "Where did you find these people who can talk?"

Huang Yi shook his head complacently. It's not easy to get to know people from all the different schools. If he went to the temple and found a few beggars to give him some benefits, he would be able to complete the task.

The lady had come today to discuss the opening of a branch store with Qiao Ke, as well as the transfer of tofu recipes.

The one who wanted the tofu recipe was none other than Qiao Ke's old neighbor. Even when the restaurant did not close down, he had already given them his strong support. They were old neighbors now, and their relationship was deep. Now that the Qiao Family Restaurant had regained its vitality, it could provide some help to these old neighbors.

Ye Xuan's job at home was to supervise the road repair, and he couldn't leave Cheng Yanzhong's home. The cute girl had to stay in the county for two more days, so she had to do a lot of work and had Huang Yi accompany her.

As they were talking, they heard someone coming up the stairs. As Qiao Ke was speaking, he said, "The little miss has been here for a long time. She is waiting for you!"

A fat man in a dark blue silk dress was holding a folding fan in his left hand, a jug of wine in his right hand, and a mole in the lower right corner of his mouth. He looked like a landowner with a birdcage in his hand. Beside him was an eleven-year-old little boy with his hair tied into a bun. He was dressed the same way as the fat man. It was hard to tell if he was a father, son, or grandpa.

"Little lady, this is my father's old friend, Liao Yuanliang. You can just call him Uncle Liao. This is his son, Qizong. He's a naughty kid who wants to join in the fun." "It's not like we don't know each other. Let's sit down and have a chat and order some dishes while we talk."

Yes, Little Ke is right. Let's sit down and chat." Uncle Liao had a jade thumb ring on his thumb, and he looked like a rich man no matter what. He could spend quite a bit of money just for this set of silk clothes, but his attitude was very calm. He didn't think that she was a woman and looked down on her at all.

The lady called out "Uncle Liao" and sat across from him. Huang Yi sat on the side, while Qiao Ke took the initiative to go to the backyard to order some dishes. Uncle Liao did not stop them.

Uncle Liao laughed while rubbing his nose. "This is how that child Qiao Ke was when he was young. He was very hot-tempered and was very impatient. You should take more responsibility when working with him!"

"Joco has a quick and good temper. I'm slower than her. Isn't that perfect for each other?" On the shopping mall, it was not difficult to speak politely. The lady humbly agreed.

Qizong sat at the side and asked, "Have you ever read a book before? Where did you read it?"

"He was enlightened at the age of six and is currently studying in Teacher Sheng's private school." The child obediently replied. When the cute girl heard that he was only six years old and thought about that little brat back home, her head became so big with anxiety.

Uncle Liao saw that she seemed to be troubled, so he asked, "Does the lady have a child who wants to study at home?" Maybe I can introduce you. "

I just want to ask if there are any good private schools in the county, and the nearby private schools are also not that close. I might as well send them to the county so that I can wholeheartedly study, but my mother is worried that he won't be able to take care of himself, so she is still thinking.

"This won't do. A good man has his heart set on the world, so how can he not study because he is afraid of suffering? I still have to learn a bit, and it's all because I haven't studied enough in my life. If Zong'er can make a name for herself, I can explain it to my father." Talking about children's reading, it was probably an eternal topic at all parents' tables.

However, Qizong was unhappy. Perhaps it was because he saw that the lady's face was friendly, but he immediately became dissatisfied. "Didn't you say you wouldn't talk about this? How old are you to think of leaving me every day? "

Uncle Liao laughed heartily. "Fine, fine, fine. Let's stop talking. I can still accompany Zong'er for a few more decades of fun!"

Watching the father and son talking and laughing, the delicate lady felt envy in her heart. Old Liao was also the son of an elder. After his wife gave birth to her child, she died. In order to take care of his son, he did not remarry. He dragged his son so much by himself, working so hard.

However, his son was a sensible man. Usually, other than having a good mouth and a little fun, he had no other shortcomings. Old Liao was rather satisfied.

As the two spoke, Qiao Ke brought up a pot of stewed meat. Ever since the young lady told him about the use of spices, after some research, Qiao Ke discovered a kind of plant that was similar to the pepper that the young lady had eaten in her previous life. Considering that they still had to talk about business, Old Liao did not have much to eat. He had finally gotten into the topic that he wanted to discuss with Chen Xiaolian today. As it turned out, Old Liao's ancestors were winemakers, and the skills of their ancestors had allowed him to have a good time in Qingyuan County. Although Qingyuan County wasn't very rich, the wine they sold every year was enough for Old Liao's family to eat and drink to their heart's content.

No wonder why Old Liao reeked of alcohol the moment he came in. The lady thought he had come over for drinks, she didn't expect him to have wine at home. Old Liao and Qiao Ke's father were good friends just because he was lazy and stupid, and not very good at talking. When he was young, he would sell his wine like he would sell his life, and no one would be willing to buy his wine. At that time, his father told Old Liao to sell his wine in his restaurant.

However, as time went by, the Qiao Family Restaurant became infamous and Old Liao's wine became known everywhere. Afterwards, Old Liao became rich and the Qiao Family Restaurant became worse every day. Other than those old customers who were still thinking of their old friendship, the Qiao Family Restaurant did not go out of business.

When he grew up in Qizong, Old Liao would be able to pass on his skills in making wine to him. However, who knew that the imperial court would issue a decree this year, and the private wineries would all be reduced in size and would no longer be allowed to make wine. Thus, Old Liao's drinkers were banned, leaving him in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

He had eaten tofu at the Qiao family restaurant a few times, but Old Liao had been thinking about it. How about he make tofu and sell it? Isn't it good too? Then he found Choco to put this idea into words. Choco also felt that it was feasible, Old Liao's character was trustworthy, and with so many years of friendship, not to mention that Choco became more and more busy every day, not caring about making tofu, he might as well hand over this matter.

After saying that, Old Liao looked at his mistress uneasily. However, the lady was more concerned about something else, "You said the imperial government banned alcohol?"
