Sheng Yichen, who goes by the alias 'Chen Yi', was confused when he saw this, and quickly reached out to help him up:

"What are you talking about, County Magistrate? You and my distant uncle are close friends, I should respect you as an elder!"

"Oh, no! No, no!"

As soon as County Master Wang entered the room, he was shocked by this super-cognitive thing.

When he followed Sheng Yichen from the lobby to the private room, he saw that everyone was busy with their work in an orderly manner, unlike many old-timers in the county government who had to be urged to do their jobs well. The design of the various organs was even more ingenious, and even he, who had barely seen some of the world, was dazzled.

After being shocked again and again, the momentum that was originally gathered was almost lost in an instant, and he didn't even have the confidence to speak.

He had a feeling that the owner of Qingyun Pavilion was definitely not an ordinary person!

With so many powerful mechanical techniques in his hands, he is likely to take advantage of the current disaster and political instability to directly occupy one side and become the king.

As for why he didn't take that step even though he obviously had the strength, it was not something he could guess.

And a creature like me is probably like an ant in the eyes of the other party.

County Magistrate Huang was a self-aware man, and he saw the current situation clearly in just a moment. He had no intention of using his status to bargain for the price, and hurriedly and concisely explained his purpose.

Sheng Yichen came to see County Magistrate Huang today. With his sister's approval, the family had already discussed the plan at home.

After all, merchants had a low status in ancient times, and their family currently had no intention of rebelling. If they wanted to gain a foothold in Nanyang County, they had to establish good relations with the county magistrate.

Sheng Yichen was not polite and immediately explained the preferential conditions for his sister to the county government one by one.

Knowing that they are just a group of people doing some business in Qingyun Pavilion, how could they dare to take the money from the officials? !

We will definitely not charge any money for laying floor heating in the mansions of county governments and transforming the county government’s public fields into greenhouses.

After that, if the county magistrate wants to purchase all kinds of food, cotton-padded clothes and quilts, shovels and other supplies, or various high-yield seedlings and seeds from Qingyun Pavilion, he can naturally buy them at the most preferential friendly price.

Of course, it is not easy for us ordinary people to do business, and there will naturally be many areas that need Huang County Magistrate's care in the future...

"That's right! That's right! Don't worry, nephew. I've seen it in the past few months. Everyone in Qingyun Pavilion has a sense of justice. It's rare to find such an honest and people-oriented business. I should naturally support it more!"

County Magistrate Huang didn't expect that the owner of Qingyun Pavilion was willing to make such a big concession to him even though he obviously had the upper hand. He immediately smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, patting Sheng Yichen's shoulder and making repeated promises.

Sometimes smart negotiations are easier. Both parties know what the other wants and can quickly reach a win-win consensus.

At first, they walked into the private room with fake smiles on their faces, but when they came out again, they were already smiling broadly, just like bosom friends who had met too late.

…

In a blink of an eye, it was the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the summer solstice.

Due to the influence of the cold wave, even though it is already summer, the occasional cool breeze still makes people shiver. Many people on the street are still wearing thin cotton jackets or thicker long gowns.

But compared to the terrible extreme cold disaster a few years ago, the climate now is still bearable.

The summer solstice in Southern Qi was a lively festival. This year, everyone fought against the disaster together, and there was even more joy in surviving the disaster.

A few months ago, the doors of all the shops were hung with ribbons, and there were many vendors selling lanterns, sachets, and prayer charms on the streets.

This year, there was even news that the greenhouse planting field that the county magistrate asked Qingyun Pavilion to transform on public land was really effective, and the first batch of vegetables planted grew well. It was no different from what Qingyun Pavilion grew on its own!

It is said that County Magistrate Huang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth for the past few days. He also thought that everyone was busy dealing with the damage caused by the extreme cold before the New Year, and didn't think about many major festivals. He didn't even have time to set off the fireworks that the county government had stored for the New Year.

I bought a few batches of new and improved fireworks from Qingyun Pavilion, and planned to celebrate with the people tonight. It was as if I wanted to celebrate all the festivals that I didn't celebrate in the past six months together today.

You can imagine how lively the scene was!

Of course Sheng Nanxi also knew this news, because she asked her fourth brother to develop that batch of improved fireworks.

Don't all the businesses like to take advantage of festivals to make a fortune? How could she miss such a good opportunity?

Then we have to find some improvements to modern marketing methods to squeeze out the last bit of value from the festival? !

The whole family was once again being directed around in circles, but she, the little girl, slept soundly. When she woke up the next day, she received a lot of gifts.

According to tradition, during the summer solstice, large families would give each other folding fans, sachets, lotus lanterns, various jade pendants with auspicious patterns, and children’s favorite toys...

Although some items may not be suitable for today's weather, they are a traditional custom of the summer solstice and it is worth keeping them for later use.

The most important thing is that the whole family knows that she likes shiny things, and most of her favorites are gold, gemstones, and glass, which are particularly reflective materials!

Compared to the gifts she received when she first came to the Li family, these were obviously more valuable. It can be seen that this time, in addition to the genuine love for her, there was also some gratitude from the Li family.

After all, the Li family really followed the Sheng family this time and enjoyed the good life. I thought that in such a terrible disaster a few years ago, the Li family was lucky to be able to remain unscathed.

Who could have thought that the Sheng family's Qingyun Pavilion would take a sudden turn, not only stabilizing the disaster situation in an instant, but also creating huge business opportunities time and time again, allowing everyone in the Li family to drink some meat soup.

Even the most difficult aunt to befriend had a big smile on her face when she saw them recently. Early this morning, she asked the maid to bring various snacks and gifts prepared for Xier.

The brothers even thought about how to cut and polish the gems to make them shine brighter. They had to compete with each other secretly to make their gifts shine brighter than the other's.

As a result, when Sheng Nanxi stepped into the main hall filled with gifts, she was almost dazzled by the shiny things in the room.

The fat girl slurped her saliva, hugged the pile of glittering gifts lovingly and caressed them for a long time, then asked the maid to pass the gifts she had prepared to everyone.

Hehe, she is now a money-making baby. She will never let down anyone who is good to her!

Sheng Nanxi has never seen the ancient version of the fireworks show. Although the magnificence cannot be compared with the modern one, it seems to be a good thing for this family to enjoy the beautiful scenery together.

As a little girl, she had been very excited since she received the gifts in the morning. After lunch, she went to play with her grandmother, grandmother-in-law and two aunts for a while. In the afternoon, she accompanied her mother to make two lanterns.

After lunch in the afternoon, I was so excited that I couldn't sit still.

But before she could even move, her brothers all ran away.

First, Fourth Brother said that Wu Xiyue seemed to be researching some complicated pastry for Xiaomei, and was afraid that her skills were too slow and Xiaomei would not have a midnight snack tonight, so he went to help her.

The remaining brothers agreed to watch the fireworks together in the evening. But just after dinner, someone came to report that Wang Xuran had brought a cartload of supplies from the Wang family into the city.

Wang Xuran was not like Sheng Nanxi who could use his supernatural powers to clear the way, so the journey was extremely difficult. There had been a series of blizzards before, and he had been stuck in a county town on the way for nearly two months. Afterwards, he met the group of secret guards escorting Xue Huai and others, and followed them northward.

The Wang family came from afar to send gifts, so the Sheng family naturally did not dare to neglect them. The eldest brother and sister Feng went to settle the Wang family before they even finished their meal.

Brother Xiao knew how important Xue Huai and his brothers were to Xiao Xier, so he was busy arranging accommodations for them. He has not been seen until now.

Sheng Yichen had been fidgeting since he heard Wang Xuran's words. He crooked in front of Sheng Nanxi for a while, then suddenly stood up as if he had figured something out.

"Well, sister, I think it's not appropriate for you to let only the eldest brother and the others to receive the Wang family. After all, the Wang family is indeed a gentleman. After receiving our kindness, they always remember to repay us double and a hundredfold."

"The eldest brother's leg is not fully healed yet. He has to stop and rest after walking a few steps. Sister Manyin is busy taking care of him, so how can she take care of other things?! Hey - Brother tells you, there is really nothing wrong with the Wang family, but Wang Xuran is a bit of a jerk."

"Think about it. I pulled her out of the pond with good intentions many years ago, but she insisted that I deliberately provoked her. She still remembers such a trivial matter! If you don't take good care of her this time, who knows how much she will hate you! So, let me go and help you——"

Before he could finish his words, Sheng Yichen flew away in an instant.

Sheng Nanxi, who was standing behind, was almost laughing to death, but she still tried to hold back her laughter and make things worse.

"Ah? So serious? Then don't go, I'll go and take a look myself!"
