Chapter 217 [Invisible Pretense]

"You don't have to believe me."

Having said that, Jiang Lili listened to the heavy rain pouring down outside the window of the private room. Her eyes rolled and she stood up to open the window behind her.

As soon as the windows were put up, wind and rain rushed in, blowing the shopkeepers into a mess.

Shopkeeper Ma frowned immediately. Does Shopkeeper Jiang want him to wake up?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Jiang Lili said in a clear voice: "The rain outside the window will stop for a quarter of an hour. Shopkeepers, please go back quickly while you can."

After Jiang Lili finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave.

Everyone looked out the window following Jiang Lili's words. At this moment, the sound of rain and wind outside the window was fierce, but the moment Jiang Lili stood up, the sound of rain outside the window suddenly became smaller.

Slowly, the rain that had been falling fiercely just now stopped, and the weather outside became mild. Only the wind pushed the gauze on Jiang Lili's veil and the lotus-colored hem of her dress. She looked like a lotus swaying in the breeze, isolated from the world, mysterious, and making people feel a sense of awe.

This scene was so shocking that many people got goosebumps. Jiang Lili looked like the god who controlled the weather!

Those who had not believed Jiang Lili's prediction of the weather just now immediately changed their minds.

As expected of her being the sworn sister of the Patriarch of the He family, she truly embodies the saying “young and promising”!

Even the shopkeeper Ma felt ashamed of his ability to predict celestial phenomena. He originally thought that he could defeat everyone here just by being able to read faces, but he didn't expect that there are always better people.

The ability to predict celestial phenomena is extremely important on Haizhou Island and in the sea where the wind and rain change rapidly. It may even save lives, not to mention protecting goods and coordinating transportation.

Seeing Jiang Lili about to leave the private room, Shopkeeper Ma and several other shopkeepers hurriedly tried to stop her: "Shopkeeper Jiang, please stay!"

Shopkeeper Ma bowed slightly and apologized quickly: "I was offended just now. I didn't realize that Shopkeeper Jiang was the Purple Star descended to the world, and the daughter of destiny came to earth."

Hearing Manager Ma praising herself like that, Jiang Lili sighed that the owner of the stone shop was really flexible. She had previously thought that this Manager Ma with a unique personality had a temper as stubborn as a stone!

Ziwei Star descended to the world, and the girl of destiny came down to earth. Jiang Lili silently repeated this sentence in her heart, and suddenly some new ideas came to her.

At this time, Shopkeeper Ma apologized, and the other shopkeepers who had just kept their composure and not confronted Jiang Lili directly criticized Shopkeeper Ma and expressed their loyalty to Jiang Lili.

If you hold on to this person's golden thigh, it will be a big deal!

The innkeeper rubbed his hands excitedly. He was close to the inn and was the first to know Jiang. He was already the most familiar with Innkeeper Jiang among all the people present.

He spoke first: "In that case, let's talk about how to make a killing from that old bastard Huang! And expand our He family's influence in Haizhu County!"

The others were excited after hearing this and actively offered suggestions. At this time, they were discussing the topic of making money as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

After everyone had almost finished their discussion, Jiang Lili offered some suggestions: "This incessant rain will inevitably affect the normal lives of the people. We can distribute some medicines to dispel dampness and resist colds and inflammation at low prices or for free."

Jiang Lili turned her gaze to the shop owner, Fan Qiu. "Shopkeeper Fan, I think the indigo plant you researched before you came here is quite good. It can fight infections and inflammations caused by dampness. Our He family is a big flower maker, so we have no shortage of indigo."

Jiang Lili finished speaking with a brief summary and then prepared to leave: "Okay, now that everyone has discussed it, let's do it right away. We only have five days, so hurry up!"

Fan Qiu's face paused slightly after hearing this. She bowed and asked Jiang Lili, "How did Shopkeeper Jiang know that you had come into contact with indigo before coming here?"

Jiang Lili stretched out a hand, pointed at her jade-colored nails, and then left like a gust of wind. After chattering for so long, she couldn't help but go to the kitchen of Fuzhu Restaurant to beg for money and give snacks to her accomplices. Good things should be shared together.

When she was in school, Jiang Lili, an orphan, had trouble getting food and clothing. She was as thin as a bean sprout. Everyone in her class took good care of her. Whoever brought something delicious would leave a portion for her. During the three years of high school, they managed to feed the malnourished Jiang Lili until she was healthy and well-proportioned.

Jiang Lili waved her sleeves and left, leaving the shopkeepers in the private room to savor the moment for a long time.

Fan Qiu lowered his head and tried to clear the indigo color left by the indigo juice in the cracks of his fingernails.

Indigo is a herb that can reduce inflammation and detoxify. It can also be used as a dye to produce blue.

Shopkeeper Jiang deduced that he had come into contact with Indigo just by observing it, and he immediately thought of the efficacy of this medicinal herb, which was so terrifying!

Even Fan Qiu, who was usually calm, got goosebumps at this moment.

She told this little episode to all the shopkeepers present.

After hearing this, everyone exclaimed: "He can see the big picture from the small details. This is genius!"

Upon hearing this, the fishmonger hurriedly thanked Fan Qiu, "Shopkeeper Fan is truly patient. Shopkeeper Jiang was so perfunctory during the meeting. He was definitely testing us to see who would lose patience!"

The innkeeper stroked his beard and shook his head: "Manager Jiang was in a hurry to leave. I guess he didn't want to say anything more to us fools. You must be careful in the future and show your loyalty at all times. You must not let Manager Jiang dislike us!"

Everyone agreed.

But Jiang Lili was actually able to reveal that Fan Qiu had come into contact with indigo before his arrival, thanks entirely to the help of the imperial physician squad leader. She'd heard that Shopkeeper Fan had opened a medical clinic specializing in training female doctors and medicine boys. Wanting to impress Shopkeeper Fan, Jiang Lili noticed Fan Qiu's unusual nail color and sent a message to the squad leader, asking about it. Surprisingly, she got a good idea.

Thinking of Shopkeeper Fan's expression at that time, Jiang Lili felt that her invisible show-off must have been quite successful this time.

At this time, Jiang Lili had no idea that the group of people in the private room had already started to self-reflect and self-discipline. She was giving instructions in the kitchen of Fuzhu Restaurant.

"Five of these!"

"Here, this, pack it up and take it away!"

Following Jiang Lili's movements, the waiter behind her quickly packed the dishes into the food boxes.

Jiang Lili pointed at a light pink frosted roll on the table and said, "Why haven't I seen this on my table before? Let me try it."

Immediately, a chef served Jiang Lili a separate portion and respectfully picked up his chopsticks. "Boss, this is a new dish our restaurant has developed, the Honey Dawn Roll. I don't know how it's received yet, so I dare not serve it to you."

Jiang Lili tasted a piece. It was sweet but not greasy. She remembered that Xin Che particularly liked sweet food.

"Not bad, not bad. Give me one of these and make it more exquisite!"

Every time she took out some colorful candies and put them in Xin Che's palm, Xin Che's beautiful phoenix eyes would always shine brightly, like a big, cool puppy being fed. It was a very contrasting feeling. Jiang Lili didn't expect that the God of War actually liked to eat the little sweets from his daughters' homes.
