Upon hearing this, Wu Hua picked at her ear with her little finger.
"Who? Who did you say?"
"Xia Beinian, Fan Xing's man."
"Xia Beinian? He's been dead for over a thousand years. How can you be sure he's a member of his clan?"
"Based on the design drawings I saw in Fan Xing's tomb, both the craftsmanship and the techniques are exactly the same as those drawn by today's craftsmen."
After listening, Wu Hua seemed to suddenly have an epiphany and understood.
"So Xia Beinian's surname isn't Xia, but Xia Bei!"
Qin Luo felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"No wonder he was always whimpering when he was with Fan Xing. It turns out he was from Xi You Kingdom. No, Xi You Kingdom didn't exist when he died."
"Yes, time flies, dynasties change, perhaps the Taira, Showa and Yuu were originally one country a thousand years ago!"
"Perhaps!"
"Oh well, let's not dwell on these useless thoughts. Are you planning to tell them?"
This question left Qin Luo completely bewildered.
"Tell them what?"
"Of course we should tell them that our ancestors knew each other!"
After listening, Qin Luo suddenly felt that Wu Hua's intelligence had regressed.
"Let's not even talk about whether they still remember that there was such an ancestor. Even if they did, who is our ancestor? Fan Xing?"
Wu Hua looked completely indifferent.
“Sure, her spirit is still pretty good. Anyway, we’ve already recognized so many strange relatives, so it’s not a bad idea to recognize her as our ancestor.”
After he finished speaking, Qin Luo stared straight at him.
"My little one, you've changed."
Wu Hua looked herself up and down.
"Has it changed? I don't feel it at all."
“How could you not feel anything? You used to call your great-grandfather and the others by their names or address them as elders, unlike now, where people are just casually favoring relatives.”
Wu Hua glanced at her sideways.
"You didn't teach me back then. If I hadn't learned some social skills from books, I don't know how many benefits I would have missed out on from being good at sweet-talking."
Qin Luo: Oh well, it's my own fault again.
"Okay, okay, I admit I was wrong, but I don't think anyone would treat Fan Xing as their ancestor."
As he spoke, he tapped Wu Hua's little nose with his finger.
"You're not allowed to either, do you hear me?"
Wu Hua rolled her eyes at her speechlessly.
"I heard you, I heard you. Shouldn't we hurry up and buy the shop next?"
Qin Luo sighed upon hearing this.
"There's no news from the brokerage firm, and we're unfamiliar with the area, so it's really hard to find a shop right now. I've discussed it with the craftsmen, and if all else fails, we'll just buy a piece of land. After all, the Xia family's construction skills are unparalleled."
Wu Hua nodded her head in agreement.
"That's acceptable, but have you agreed on the price? We took so much from their ancestors back then, so we can't be stingy with the wages now."
Qin Luo raised his hand and gave him a sharp rap on the head.
"Am I such a stingy person? They are treasures to me."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua covered her forehead and squinted.
"What are you up to? Let me tell you, the most taboo thing for a human being is to be ungrateful."
Qin Luo really wanted to beat him up, but now she was staying at someone else's house.
I was afraid that if I went too hard, I would frighten them, so I had no choice but to hold back.
"I want them to be our dedicated team, and they will be responsible for the construction or decoration of all the Wan Gu hotels that we open in the future."
Wu Hua agreed with her idea again.
"Yes, yes, that way we can worry less."
After they finished talking, the two went to find Xiushan Wang and asked her to take the lead in finding the village chief.
After he told the village chief all his thoughts, the village chief was overjoyed.
Is this really true?
Qin Luo's promise was firm and resounding.
“Indeed, if you are willing, we can sign a contract now. In addition to your wages, you will also receive a share of the profits. But I have one condition.”
The village chief was initially very happy, especially upon hearing that there would be a dividend.
But a sense of worry crept into his heart; their ancestors were indeed renowned.
However, with the passage of time and the change of dynasties, the once vast family business...
They also disappeared with the rise of war, thanks to the ancestors' mastery of mechanical beasts.
They became the object of contention among various forces, and thus they were able to survive generation after generation.
I've already put in a lot of effort, secretly doing small, inconspicuous tasks all the time.
Fearing that the secret of their ancestral craft might be revealed and bring about their death, they were suddenly given such a big job.
He was genuinely worried that there might be some shady dealings involved in signing a contract.
Qin Luo noticed her expression changing constantly, like a palette of colors.
That told me she didn't trust me.
“Village chief, this is my first time coming out to gain experience. We also want to achieve something to show our family. Perhaps we are being a bit too ambitious. I hope you won’t think too much of it.”
Her words only made the village chief more worried.
“Girl Gongshan, your family business is far too large. The skills of us country folk are hardly worthy of being served in a fine restaurant. Why don’t you find someone more skilled?”
Qin Luo didn't understand where she had gone wrong, and was just about to explain to him again.
Then I heard the village chief start seeing the guests off.
"I see it's getting late, so I won't keep you for lunch. Please make yourselves at home."
Qin Luo knew that continuing the conversation would annoy people, so she prepared to leave on her own.
But Xiushan Wang grabbed him.
"Hey girl, wait a minute."
After she finished speaking, she walked up to the village chief and questioned him.
"Auntie, why did you turn down such a good job? Don't you want everyone's lives to improve?"
The village chief glanced at the crowd waiting outside the door; their clothes were covered in patches upon patches.
Their faces were all incredibly ugly, one more than the next, and although she felt distressed...
