"The boss? Which boss?"
Judging from her name, she seems to be a business owner. What do I need her for?
"You'll see when you get there," the man said with a smile.
Suddenly, a stranger appeared and said that the boss wanted to see her?
What if he's a human trafficker? Song Ning dared not go with him.
“If you don’t tell me which employer you’re with, I won’t go with you.”
The man hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Oh, we are..."
"Little girl."
Before the servant could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice from the side.
A middle-aged man walked slowly over. The fabric of his clothes was obviously of high quality. He was slightly overweight and swaggered toward Song Ning.
He stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and revealed a glittering jade ring on his hand: "Young lady, I am the owner of Rongfu Restaurant, my surname is Ding, and I would like to discuss a business deal with you."
Song Ning now knew what these two groups of people were here for: they were both after her cold noodles.
Before the waiter could say anything, Boss Ding scoffed, "Does your Nankang Restaurant only send a waiter when you come out to discuss business? It seems you're not very sincere!"
Song Ning smiled, wanting to hear what Manager Ding had to say first: "What kind of business does Boss Ding want to do with me?"
Hearing Song Ning's question, the man smiled and said, "Young lady, would you be willing to sell me your recipe for liangpi (cold skin noodles)? Don't worry, I'll pay a high price."
Song Ning knew that these people, seeing how well she was selling her products, were already thinking of taking advantage of her formula.
They still need this to make money. If they really sell the recipe, what will their family do in the future?
Song Ning didn't answer, but turned to the servant and asked, "You want to say this too?"
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, the servant no longer tried to hide anything and nodded.
Song Ning smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't sell this recipe."
Hearing her say that, Boss Ding stepped forward and said with a smile, "Young lady, there's no rush. If you can't make the decision, you still have your parents. I'll discuss it with them."
Song Ning still had a smile on his face: "Boss Ding, the recipe is really not for sale. You'd better go find someone else."
After saying that, he looked at the young man beside him and said, "Go back and tell your boss that the recipe is not for sale and he shouldn't come back again."
Boss Ding was unwilling to give up and stepped forward to block Song Ning's way: "Young lady, if you are willing to sell me the prescription, I will give you two taels of silver!"
Song Ning chuckled lightly: "Boss Ding, I'm not selling the prescription. You'd better go and buy the prescription for two taels of silver instead."
Even if she were to sell this prescription, it wouldn't be worth two taels of silver. Is she trying to scam her because she's young?
Song Ning finished speaking and left without lingering, carrying his basket on his back.
When Boss Ding saw that things hadn't gone his way, he glared coldly at the servant, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.
When Song Ning arrived at the agreed place, Li Daniu and Aunt Zhao were already waiting, both of them looking worried.
"Uncle Da Niu, Auntie, I'm sorry, something came up and I'm late."
"It's good that you're alright. Okay, let's go back now," Aunt Zhao said with a smile.
On the way back today, we saw horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts heading south again, and Li Daniu and Aunt Zhao had some idea of what was going on.
However, none of the people on the way mentioned this.
The oxcart drove all the way to the village entrance, where two people could be seen standing in the distance, as if they were waiting for something.
As Song Ning got closer, she realized that one of them was actually Song Er Ya's grandmother!
Li Daniu and Aunt Zhao had both met Old Lady Liu before, so they immediately stopped their car.
Song Ning got out of the car and said with a smile, "Auntie, you should go back first."
As soon as the person left, Song Ning went up to her and asked, "Grandma, what brings you here?"
Song Ning had a good impression of Song Er Ya's maternal grandmother. In the past, when Liu Yue Lan returned to her parents' home, the old lady Liu would often secretly give her food. She was also good to her mother.
"It's been a while since I've seen you, so Grandma came to visit you," said Grandma Liu with a kind smile.
"Then hurry into the village and come inside to sit down." Song Ning took Old Mrs. Liu's hand.
"Er Ya, the reason I came here today is actually to discuss something with you." As she spoke, she looked at the middle-aged man beside her.
"Please speak."
"Er Ya, this is Village Chief Luo from our Dongyuan Village."
Song Ning was stunned for a moment. Dongyuan Village was the village of Liu Yuelan's mother's family. It was not too far from Nanshan Village. Their family's connection with Dongyuan Village was only through Liu Yuelan.
Song Ning still greeted him politely: "Hello, Village Chief."
"Village chief, this is my granddaughter. Please tell me what's on your mind," said Grandma Liu with a smile.
Song Ning was even more puzzled. What connection could a mere villager like her from Nanshan Village have with the village chief of Dongyuan Village? What did he want with her?
"Er Ya, I heard that your village has grain?"
Song Ning didn't hide anything and nodded: "We found some food on the mountain."
Village Chief Luo pursed his lips: "I heard that you were the one who discovered the grain on the mountain, right? Er Ya, could you... could you exchange it for some grain for us?"
Song Ning frowned slightly. Exchanging grain for food was now commonplace. After the Song family's old house was discovered exchanging water for grain, more and more people began to follow suit.
The well at the east end of the village is almost empty now.
But shouldn't we go to the village chief for something like this? Why would we go to her?
"Village Chief Luo, I can't make that decision either. If you want to exchange grain, you can go to our village chief."
Village Chief Luo became anxious: "But didn't you discover those grains?"
Whoever finds it owns it; they have no problem finding Song Ning.
“Village Chief Luo, although I found the item, I really can’t make the decision. This matter still needs the village chief’s approval.”
