The man sitting in the corner was very satisfied after finishing such a coherent speech.

Unexpectedly, he didn't feel proud for long before he saw many people around him showing disapproval. The owner of the neighboring Zhang's pharmacy glanced at him and snorted disdainfully:

"Hey - isn't this the manager of Xiao's cotton-padded clothing shop? You are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. Your cotton-padded clothing shop has been doing badly recently. Seeing other cotton-padded clothing shops are doing well, you are not happy?"

"I heard that your family recently followed the example of Qingyun Pavilion and vacated some houses to set up a shelter for disaster victims. But their shelter not only provides free food to the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, but also allows strong people to earn several times more money if they want to work in the cotton clothing workshop than in other places."

"Your family is so good. On the surface, it claims to be a refugee shelter, but after the refugees enter, they have to sign a contract to sell their bodies. You also use the excuse that it is difficult to do business due to natural disasters to arbitrarily cut people's money. Who is the one with ulterior motives? I don't need to tell you clearly, right?"

The old man sitting at the other table looked very cunning. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say:

"It's understandable what they want. The owner of Qingyun Pavilion is indeed a wise man. He stepped forward in times of natural disasters and gained a lot of reputation. Who in Nanyang County will not praise him when he is mentioned in the future?"

"It is said that deeds are more important than intentions. Even if he wanted to gain fame, he actually saved the lives of tens of thousands of people. Although he had selfish motives, it was a good deed."

Although the masters present had not received any direct benefits from Qingyun Pavilion, they knew that there were homeless people on the streets, and it was safer for them to go out to do business, so they nodded in agreement.

"Let's not talk about anything else. Whenever there is a natural disaster, the streets are full of homeless people. The county government doesn't have enough money and resources, so how can it save so many people? If we're not careful, there will be an epidemic and civil unrest, and I'm afraid the next few generations will have a hard time."

"This extremely cold weather is much more severe than the natural disasters in recent years. If the owner of Qingyun Pavilion hadn't stepped in, who knows what would have happened to Nanyang County!"

"Don't tell me! Yesterday I heard from a distant relative who came from another place that the roads in the nearby counties were blocked due to the snowstorm a few days ago. Many refugees couldn't afford to eat and started robbing and pawning. It turns out that our Nanyang County is the worst!"

"Ah - I don't know when this snowstorm will end. Several people in my family have fallen ill. If it gets this cold, even people in good health won't be able to bear it!"

The storyteller listened to everyone talking about this, his eyes rolled around. He immediately slapped the wake-up stick with pride:

"This is not a coincidence. We have received some news a long time ago about how to deal with the extremely cold weather. Would you be willing to listen to it?"

The family had long been unable to bear this freezing weather, and when they heard him say this, the hall immediately fell silent. Then the storyteller said:

"Everyone knows that the owner of Qingyun Pavilion learned a unique technique from the West that can make the house as warm as spring even in winter."

"It is said that the owner is preparing to expand this transaction in the next few days. After that, as long as the owner pays, he can renovate the other party's house and land and install the same ground dragon and shed as the shelter."

"We don't know when this extreme cold weather will end. But Nanyang County is located in the north, and the weather is colder than in the south. Even if the disaster is over, we can still use the dragon head and the tent in winter!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room burst into laughter.

"What? Such a good thing! Such a key technique, the owner of Qingyun Pavilion is willing to share it with us? Then in the future, the Du family workshop will not reduce production in winter, and the farmland will have a good harvest in winter. There will be no shortage of goods in the market. Won't it be so difficult for him to make money?"

"It's all about bargains! Qingyun Pavilion's reputation has been spread. Even if the stores are constantly supplying, their position in the hearts of the people is indestructible. When I build the floor heating shed for you, I can make another profit!"

"Humph! I know there will be no such thing as pie in the sky. The owner of Qingyun Pavilion is really smart! Please chat first. My wife asked me to go home for dinner. I will take my leave now!"

"Hey! Zhang Laoqi, how can you go home in that direction? You are obviously going to Qingyun Pavilion! Damn it! They haven't even officially announced the news, and you are playing tricks!"

"Are you all leaving here? Wait for me, I want to go!"

“…”

Everyone had heard that the shelter was as warm as spring, and they were envious. If they heard that there was a chance to transform their own courtyard into something like that, they would be excited even if they only heard some rumors. They all rushed to get the exact news before others.

The restaurant hall that was originally full of people was empty in an instant. Even the manager of the Xiao family's cotton clothing shop who had previously poured cold water on Qingyun Pavilion quietly mixed in with the crowd and rushed to Qingyun Pavilion.

Sitting in the elegant room on the second floor, Sheng Nanxi poked her head out from behind the curtain and saw exactly what had happened in the hall.

Seeing that most people have a good acceptance of Qingyun Pavilion, she knows that her hard work over the past month has not been in vain.

He sat back happily and finished the table full of delicacies, and then listened to the storyteller telling a few interesting stories that happened recently. Then he paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant with the little boy.

Qingyun Pavilion was naturally a new business established by my first and third brothers at her instruction.

During this time, she asked her brothers to quickly open various shops in the city, not only to make money, but also because of the extremely cold weather and snow blocking the roads, many supplies in the city's shops could not be replenished, and it was very likely that prices would be inflated.

The people cannot earn money due to the bad weather, and the inflated prices will only make their lives more difficult, leading to large-scale civil unrest.

Recently, she opened several cotton-padded clothing shops, grain shops and grocery stores. These not only solved her family's needs, but also brought her an additional source of income with an endless stream of people coming to buy things every day!

After 꺶哥's promotion, the snow-melting agent sold by Qingyun Pavilion's store was soon widely used in the county.

Even though there were several snowstorms in the past few days, the streets were still clean. In addition, many people bought affordable food and cotton clothes in Qingyun Pavilion, so their livelihood was temporarily guaranteed.

The streets of the county town were temporarily restored to some activity. Sheng Nanxi was extremely happy, shopping and buying all kinds of snacks and toys along the way. When she was tired, she skipped and walked towards the Li Mansion.

But just as she stepped into the house, she saw a figure rushing out from the wall in a hurry. It was so fast that only a shadow could be seen!

Sheng Nanxi saw that the man looked familiar, and her heart was filled with doubt, so she immediately shouted at him.

"Star Track?!"

Unexpectedly, the other person turned around and saw that it was her. He was so excited that he almost cried:

"Miss... I was just about to look for you! Please go back soon, he... they brought Master back!"
