"Haha, you flatter me, boss. It's a small business, there's nothing we can do about it."

Our little snack stall mainly does business in the morning and at noon; it can't compare to those big restaurants.

The early bird catches the worm, so they came up with the idea of ​​delivering food to people's homes.

Mr. Huang was very modest.

"The old lady is very wise. Not to mention our Qingyang County, even in our Lingnan Prefecture, the old lady's method is the first of its kind."

"I can't deliver my hot spring pool to your door, otherwise I'd like to try the old lady's method."

The owner of the hot spring said with a smile.

Half an hour later, the nine burly men finally emerged from inside, dressed in brand-new clothes, their hair neatly combed.

Mr. Huang was very satisfied with this.

They took these people back to the food stall.

"Today is your first time back home, so consider it as getting acquainted with the place."

I don't know how the food was at the brokerage before, but I imagine it wasn't enough to fill you up.

If you've been hungry for a long time, you shouldn't eat too much at once, or you'll easily overeat and get sick.

Each person gets a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun. This dish is called Mala Tang, and each person gets a large spoonful.

If you feel the flavor isn't quite right, there are pickled vegetables on the side; you can add them yourself.

After you finish eating, I will arrange for someone to take you to the countryside. You can stay at our old house for now.

Once the pigsty is finished, we'll build you houses.

I will send rice, flour, oil and other food back to you regularly. As long as you are obedient and work hard, I will not treat you badly.

However, if any of you try to play tricks or don't work diligently, I'll teach you what it means to regret being born.

Don't think I'm bluffing; this old woman has broken at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, legs.

The nine people had no idea that Huang had broken the man's leg herself; they thought she had ordered her henchmen to do it.

Huang gave the nine people time to process their thoughts.

"I, this old woman, never lie. I'll beat tigers and bears without hesitation."

So don't even think about challenging your wife's bottom line.

However, there is one advantage to working for the Zhao family: we are not a demanding family.

Even though you sold yourselves into slavery, you will still be paid wages for working in our homes.

Let's set the monthly salary at 300 cash for now. If you can raise the pigs well in the future, the wages will increase.

I won't ask if you had families before. When you've saved up enough for a wife and want to get married, just tell your wife.

I will help you find a matchmaker and arrange a wife for you; your child will be a free person.

No matter what situation a person is in, they need hope. Huang's words undoubtedly gave the nine people hope.

When people have hope, they will be positive. Now, looking at the food on the plate, their mood is very different.

Looking at the portion size of the food, we can tell the host is doing it for our own good.

Before Huang said those things, he thought, "There is no master who is not stingy."

After Huang finished saying what she needed to say, she asked the people to find a corner to eat first.

Back in the backyard, he instructed Liu Wang to take them to buy bedding and food after they had finished eating.

We rented another oxcart and settled them in the old house first.

As for accommodation, we'll stay in Qingbei and Qingyang's room for now.

Their room had a long kang (heated brick bed), big enough to fit nine people.

There are also wooden planks in the storage room, which would make it easy to build a large bed.

After noting down Huang's instructions, Liu Wang went to make arrangements for the nine people.

Early the next morning, Huang took Zhao Qingshan, Zhao Qingyi, and Zhao Qingyan to Baima Temple.

At the foot of Baima Temple, there is a teahouse. In addition to providing tea to pilgrims going up and down the mountain, it also has another function: watching over horse-drawn carriages.

The storage fee is 10 coins per hour.

This 10 coins also covered the responsibility of feeding and watering the cattle and horses. Of course, the fodder had to be provided by the individual.

After leaving their carriage at home, the family of four slowly climbed up the mountain.

Except for Zhao Qingyi, whose physical strength was slightly weaker, the other three could be described as walking with incredible speed.

This attracted frequent glances from other worshippers, but fortunately, it wasn't the first or fifteenth of the lunar month, so there weren't too many worshippers.

At the end of the Chen hour (7-9 AM), the four of them finally reached the top of the mountain.

Wang Xiucai's wife was already waiting at the temple gate.

Two people were accompanying Wang Niangzi: one was the protagonist of today's matchmaking, and the other was Wang Niangzi's elder sister from her maternal family.

Zhao Qingshan first paid his respects to Lady Wang, and then they exchanged greetings.

Zhao Qingyi knew very well why she had come here today.

However, because I've been working in the accounting department lately and have met more people, I've lost some of my girlish shyness.

When Zhao Qingyi saw Wang Huaijing, she didn't experience the typical butterflies in her stomach that other young girls do.

Instead, his gaze was as calm as if he were looking at an ordinary diner, quickly scanning them from top to bottom.

Without saying a word, he simply bowed politely and then stepped back to Huang's side.

Zhao Qingyi's performance surprised Wang Huaijing. As a young man, he would occasionally fantasize about the temperament or appearance of his future partner.

Meeting Zhao Qingyi today completely shattered all his fantasies about women from sheltered families.

It's neither delicate and frail nor shy and timid.

There was not a trace of longing or shyness in Zhao Qingyi's eyes when she looked at him.

Wang Huaijing, who considered himself to be quite good-looking, was now starting to doubt his own charm.

He felt that Zhao Qingyi's gaze towards him was not related to gender, but simply because he was a human being.

This feeling sent a chill down Wang Huaijing's spine, and at the same time, it aroused his male instincts, namely, his desire to conquer.

It must be said that Wang Huaijing has a pretty good eye for people.

In Zhao Qingyi's eyes, the blind date opposite her was indeed just a person, a man.

Her heart was calm and undisturbed. For her, marriage was nothing compared to the joy of doing business and counting money every day.

As for who she would marry and what kind of life she would lead, those were never within her considerations. She always believed that the person her family chose for her must be suitable.

If it's not good, she definitely won't agree to marry him off.

As for whether a man will change his mind after marriage, or whether one will be treated unfairly,

This was completely outside of Zhao Qingyi's comprehension.

First of all, I am literate and can communicate with anyone without any problems. Secondly, I have the confidence that comes from my family.

Before a daughter of the Zhao family gets married, she will sign an agreement with the groom's family.

Once the man changes his mind and takes a concubine, it is time for them to separate, and the children born will be raised by the woman.

Another crucial point is in terms of combat prowess. Although he doesn't possess his third sister's innate superhuman strength,

But as daughters of the Zhao family, which one of them didn't have to exercise from a young age?

Putting everything else aside, when it comes to fighting, ordinary men are no match for her.
