In less than half a day, the story of Jiaoniang, who was originally being promoted by Jiaoniang, being taken away by the Dragon King had a sequel.

As for the reason why she came to the Qingyuan County, and also why she came here from such a distance, it had to do with the fact that she originally had a close friend in the brothel. That person was a handsome scholar, and mutual understanding with Bai Ling, but that scholar's unable to redeem Bai Ling due to his family's poverty. So, the two of them made an agreement to escape in the rainy night, only to be chased by evil servants.

As for Bai Ling, he escaped all the way to the Qingyuan County, and was eventually taken in by Wang Lao'er. He never thought that after Bai Ling had a good time, he would miss the scholar even more, so he planned to kill Wang Lao'er and bring the Wang family's property back to Jiangnan.

It was unknown who came up with this story, but Jiaoniang sat in the teahouse and listened with relish. It was originally just Wu Sinan's speculation, but after further processing, even Jiaoniang almost believed it.

In less than two days, all of the people of the Qingyuan County would discuss about this matter after lunch.

"Do you think this Bai Ling is really a slut?"

Old Liao drank his tea and asked casually. Not only did Jiaoniang listen seriously, even this group of old uncles could enjoy it.

Today, Jiaoniang had invited the old cunning fox who was discussing to create a monument last time. Although Jiaoniang pitied the construction workers, they were in a hurry to get to work. After all, they still had a family of elders to support, not daring to stop for even a day.

Jiaoniang had no choice. After all, even if they were hot, they still had to eat. They could only add some money on top of the original salary. After that, the construction crew would get 70 coins per day, the salary of the technical staff would obviously be higher, and Jiaoniang would even give them a bit more fees.

If nothing unexpected happened, these dozen or so people should be the first people in this era to have grasped how to pave concrete roads. Jiaoniang was also willing to continue cooperating with them.

"Jiaoniang didn't call us here simply because he wanted us to hear a story, right?" Boss Zhao could not help but ask.

The outside air was hot and distorted, but this teahouse was filled with ice. Compared to the outside, it was like a paradise.

Jiaoniang looked outside. There were some ragged people walking around under the sun, shouting, wanting to sell the things on their bodies.

In this weather, those who were able to live in their homes would not go out. Only those who lived in the lowest class would go out without fear of death.

A few months ago, she was also one of these people. If it wasn't for her coming here, some people's fates would have been changed.

Jiaoniang thought that fate was really strange.

"The reason I'm here this time is naturally to discuss some important matters with everyone. Qiao Ke said that everyone had already discussed it, so it would be inconvenient for me to get involved, and as for those who wanted to intervene, I also need to ask for everyone's opinion. The southwest ship's Zhu Family also wants to participate, I wonder what everyone is thinking. "

Yesterday, she came to the county to find out the way to buy ice. After all, Ji Dahe and the others had already planned to start construction, so Jiaoniang told them to dig an ice cellar first.

Ji Dahe and his group were all skilled in paving the way, and naturally would cultivate the ice cellar. However, Jiaoniang's demands were a bit high.

Originally, the ice cellar was at least five meters below ground level, so when used to store food, it would not be damaged. Jiaoniang told them to dig a meter deeper into the empty ground at the east side of the mill.

In fact, many people's cellars were like this, after all, during times of disaster, cellars were a part of the life insurance. Furthermore, Jiaoniang had warned them beforehand that if they wanted to repair this ice cellar, it would take at least a month to do so, and once the weather is cooler, it would no longer be a problem to fix the road.

Not only was Jiaoniang worried about the hot weather, Qiao Ke also worried about the hot restaurant. Recently, the restaurant's business was much worse, she could buy ice and store the ice in the ice cellar, but she could only put it in the shop, the rich families would only occasionally come over to let their servants buy food for their servants to eat, they were not willing to enter the restaurant at all, and those who were willing to come over, without much money by their side.

The Zhu Family of the Southwest Ship Company also wanted to donate money to repair the road, this was what Qiao Ke said. Old Man Zhu also came to the Qiao Family Restaurant every few days to eat. After getting sick and recuperating at home, he would be supported by his son whenever he was hungry, and Qiao Ke had taken great care of him. But a week ago, the Old Master Zhu's favorite food had not been bought by the Zhu Family anymore. Qiao Ke had thought that the Old Master Zhu was about to die.

However, two days later, the eldest son, Zhu Zixiu, came looking for him. The first thing he did was to ask Jiaoniang if he was the second owner of the Qiao Family Restaurant. Not many people knew about Jiaoniang participating in the business of Qiao Family Restaurant, since most of the time Jiaoniang was not in the shop. Qiao Ke was also very surprised that he knew that Zhu Zixiu had said that he had no ill intentions, and that he came here today to thank Jiaoniang. The last time he stopped Jiaoniang, Jiaoniang warned him that he needed to let his father eat light food for exercise.

When he returned home, he treated it as if it was nothing, but he still tried it. In the beginning, he was scolded at the nose by his family members, and even his father didn't understand why he didn't want to pay attention to him. Since he had already done it, Zhu Zixiu would not rest until he had done it. He would force his father to wake up and walk around everyday, and don't even mention that after a week, Papa Zhu's complexion had really improved a lot. His rate of urination had also decreased a little, and he wouldn't feel dizzy often.

It was only then that Zhu Zixiu thought of thanking Jiaoniang, and he was even a little afraid. If he kept following doctors' instructions to give his father nourishment every day, wouldn't that be harming his father instead? Because of this, he scolded the doctors who had treated his father. Under his father's urging, he thanked Jiaoniang.

It was only natural that he could find the location of the Qiao Family Restaurant. After all, his intelligence network wasn't that bad. Furthermore, the big families in the city had been arguing recently about donating money to repair the road, as well as inscribing his name on the stone tablet. Zhu Zixiu was tempted, as he also wanted his father's name to appear on the tablet.

Unlike other people, Zhu Zixiu had never seen the white road before. He only wanted to participate in donating money out of consideration for Jiaoniang, but the moment he stepped in, he felt that he had earned a thousand silver.

With a thousand gold, forget about a single road, even ten Jiaoniang would be able to finish cultivating it.

But Jiaoniang did not dare to tell the money to everyone present, these seniors all planned to donate five hundred, at most two hundred silver. If they were to say the money from Zhu Family, the price would probably increase.

Jiaoniang planned to return the money, otherwise her reputation would disappear.
