"What do you think about Wu Family?"

Boss Zhao of the Longhang Clothing Shop opened the carriage's curtain to see the arrogant Young Noble of a rich family following behind Jiaoniang.

When Wu Sinan first arrived at the Qingyuan County, he was quite unsightly. Although the families with some connections in the county had long heard of this news, they all thought that he was an abandoned son of the Wu Family, and that he controlled more than half of the imperial shipping. It could be said that he was as wealthy as a nation.

Although the Qingyuan County was close to the river, due to the terrain, the river flowed rapidly, and there was only a four month period of time every year where the wind blew smoothly.

And with the Qingyuan County surrounding the mountain, the only road that led to the outside world was filled with bandits. This was why over the years, even if there was war, this place like Qingyuan County was not affected much.

However, because of these reasons, the Qingyuan County was very poor, the good stuff outside could not be transported here, and the local goods could not be dumped either. There were many people living on the land, and most of the resources were gathered in the hands of the rich. Every four years, the county officials would change, and the imperial government could not bear to see anyone demoted to a poor place like this. However, none of the officials there could solve the problem of Qingyuan County.

There were even a few county officials who failed to exterminate bandits, something that could not be broken even after dozens of years.

These old foxes were already used to these rich and powerful sons and officials of the imperial court coming and going. To put it harshly, those who had any use would not be sent to the Qingyuan County, and throwing them here would basically be considered crippling.

However, Wu Sinan was an exception. He was the only one who would send items over here if his family threw him into such a crappy place.

Not to mention that Wu Family had mastered river transportation, even piloting a large ship to deliver goods every month was a huge expense. It hadn't even been three months since his arrival. Wu Sinan bought a piece of barren land in the eastern part of the county and built a huge mansion. If he wasn't touching chickens or walking dogs all day, then he was a gambler and a brothel.

Master Chen chuckled. Ignoring all else, the price of rice had increased by three percent in the past few days. He had been engaged in the business of buying and selling grain his whole life, so he was very clear about this. How cheap would it be to increase by less? The harvest hadn't even started for a long time, so how could the price of grain increase by 3% if it wasn't for the large scale stocking?

The wind was blowing behind these seemingly calm faces, and no one knew when it would erupt. All they could do was wait and see. If they really reached that step, they would have to give up their lives to protect their bloodline.

The moment Wu Sinan entered the gate of the Jiaoniang Courtyard, Ye Xuan was like a beast that had smelled its prey. He stopped doing manual labor and followed behind the two of them with a machete in hand.

He first went to the pigsty to look at the fat pigs, and then commented on how delicious the meat was. After that, he went to the other party's backyard and looked at the little roosters that had just grown into adults, unable to move for a long while, he started to salivate. He pulled Jiaoniang and started to tell the other party how delicious these newly grown roosters were …

Fu Shi couldn't bear to look anymore. Maybe the old lady sent her young master out because he was too eager to talk?

Since Wu Sinan wanted to eat them, Jiaoniang would naturally not be stingy. He got Ye Xuan to catch two of the biggest roosters and tied them up with a grass rope so that he could bring them back with him.

In the end, Wu Sinan picked up all the fresh vegetables from the garden and stopped his robbing behavior, returning back to the table to eat.

Jiaoniang and the rest had already eaten, and did not stay at the table to do their own things.

Cut the white cloth, wash it clean, then wrap the tofu in pieces, put it in the basin, press the board down and place another stone. Jiaoniang turned his head to find more straw to wash and dry. After doing all this, he hummed a little tune and carried the bedding that was almost dried back to his room. The sun was high in summer, so he didn't need to bask for too long. Otherwise, the cotton wool inside would be burnt.

The cicadas chirped incessantly. Wu Sinan sat in the living room and finished all the food, then he got Floating Stone to pour a cup of Honeysuckle Tea for him to rinse his mouth. Only then did he return to his refined appearance and waved his fan to come out.

Even the children running around didn't know what to do. Recently, his legs had become stronger, he had learnt how to walk shakily, wearing a undergarment as he supported the bamboo bed, his mouth making babbling noises. Wang Meihua then fanned him with his fan and looked at him peacefully.

Wu Sinan had never seen such a scene before. When he was at home in the past, the servants were always well-behaved, there was not a shred of life in this place.

He stood in the yard for a while, but no one bothered with him, he was bored and could only look for Jiaoniang, who was grinding his tofu in the mill. She planned to make the beans and the stinky tofu, but the tofu business was about to change hands, if she did not look for something else, what would these seven to eight people in the house eat?

Ye Xuan was shirtless, her muscles tangled, beads of perspiration the size of beans rolling down her bronze skin. Jiaoniang was dressed in green, her pure white face looked extremely beautiful without any makeup, and no matter how you looked at it, this was a scene that was not worthy of her.

Wu Sinan secretly pinched the soft flesh on his arm, he was somewhat ashamed, but after thinking about it, what use was there for him to be so strong?

"Is there anything else, Young Master Wu?" Jiaoniang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped what he was doing. If there was anything lacking in life right now, it would be that there was no air conditioning, and he would be sweating whenever he moved, so he had no choice but to move, it was not even at the third heaven yet. If it was even hotter than now, Jiaoniang would not know how to spend his days, he could only wait for winter to come and save everything for next year.

However, Jiaoniang did not know what material the clothes were made of, but seeing that he was not sweating at all, Jiaoniang felt extremely envious.

"I don't have anything to do, but it's fine if I go back. This place of yours is quite interesting."

Jiaoniang became silent. Although Wu Sinan appeared amiable, but from the small details, it could be seen that he was a young master from a rich family, and was not on the same level as them. Floating Stone was waiting on the side for him to eat. In such a hot day, he did not even have time to eat, and Wu Sinan did not ask either. It was obvious that he was used to being waited on. Although her attitude towards Jiaoniang was not bad, she did not take the initiative to talk to the other family members.

Giving the broom in his hand to Ye Xuan, Jiaoniang went to the well and washed his hands, "Let's go, if Young Master Wu has anything to say, it's better to chat about it in the house."

The two of them didn't close the door even after entering the main hall. No matter what, they still had to be wary of men and women.

"Is it possible that you're trying to tell others about this method of yours?" Wu Sinan went straight to the point.

"Yes, yes, but what do you want this White Road for?"

"Wu Sinan raised his hand and pointed to the north. That is the direction of the capital." Do you know why my clan sent me here? "

Jiaoniang shook her head. She had only heard these things from Qiao Ke a few times, what the reason was that she was really not sure.

"I'm here to look for some rare items. Although my family's Kao Luck has earned a lot in recent years, our tribe is being ostracized in the imperial court. That person is about to pass on his birthday, and all the people in the world are looking for opportunities to hand over good items. Our Wu Family is no exception."

His reason was extremely far-fetched, but Jiaoniang pretended to be enlightened. Maybe Wu Sinan truly treated her as a normal peasant woman, or maybe the real reason was not convenient for her to say. Jiaoniang did not care about that, what she wanted to get from Wu Sinan was something else.

"I can give it to you for free, but I don't need money, and I don't care about reputation either. Did you hear that I asked Qiao Ke to help me find some things?"

"I have heard of it." Qiao Ke's bounty board was hung in the lobby of Qiao Family Restaurant. "To find unknown seeds and plants, living things are the best. What do you want? "

"My father used to be a hunter, and once when we were hunting he separated from the team. When we bumped into a white-haired old man, he told my father that there are several rare items in this world. If the people were to obtain them, they wouldn't be hungry or cold, but there is still some distance between them and the mountain …" "When my father was found out at the foot of the mountain, he still couldn't forget about it when he got home. He told me that the old man was a mountain god, and wanted us to live a warm life to guide him on these matters. My father wanted to go out and travel, but my mother became pregnant with my brother, so he left. My father left a few years later, but before he passed away, he told me …"
