Chapter 349: Liu Dashanren
"Go back and tell your master that Huang Ying'er is under my protection. Tell her to come to me if she has any problems." Wen Yan walked up to the big man and kicked him. "Get out of here now."
Those people were as if they had been pardoned. They supported each other and fled in a panic.
There were only four people and two horses left in the alley.
Liu Laosi was stunned: "My little sister actually knows Kung Fu!
Compared to her, my brother really can't do anything."
If you want to be your younger sister's support, it may not be enough to just know how to do business!
Wen Yan took back his reins and said to Huang Ying'er, "Your precious things should either be hidden well or you can find a powerful backer before you take them out. Otherwise, if someone covets them, they will be eaten to the bone.
I'm helping you this time because of Ying Zhilin.
I can help you once, but I can’t help you forever.”
No matter how powerful she is, she is nothing in the face of real power, just like her in her previous life.
After saying that, she took her reins, led the horse away and left.
Huang Ying'er watched Wen Yan and his group turn out of the alley, then patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "That was a close call, I managed to save my life again."
In a house somewhere in the county town, the escaped man knelt on the ground respectfully.
A slightly overweight middle-aged man stood with his back to him.
After listening to the big man's entire account, the man exclaimed in surprise, "Did that woman really ask us to go find her? Could it be that she's the one behind Huang Ying'er? What's her identity?"
"This..." In the cold winter, the big man was sweating coldly, "She...she didn't say."
"She didn't say anything, so you didn't ask?" The middle-aged man grabbed the teacup and smashed it on the man's head.
Blood immediately flowed down his forehead. He didn't even dare to beg for mercy and could only crawl on the ground even more humbly.
The middle-aged man suppressed his anger and asked, "What are the characteristics of that woman?"
"She has a round face and isn't very tall. She knows a little bit of martial arts, and she showed no mercy when she stabbed us with her dagger."
After listening to this, the big man waved his hand and walked out of the room.
After the courtyard gate closed, the middle-aged man came to the main gate and reported, "Master, Huang Ying'er asked that nosy woman Wen Yan to come. Do you want us to investigate her background?"
The room was quiet for a moment before a faint female voice could be heard: "No need. If someone is so arrogant when calling Wen Yan, she must be the abandoned daughter of the Wen family."
"Master, that braised pork recipe...should we continue to look for the Huang family?"
"It's just a small matter, and you've wasted so much time. I'll give you another ten days. If you still can't figure it out, you can quit."
"Yes..." the middle-aged man responded with fear and trepidation.
After leaving the county town, they hurried and finally arrived in the capital at noon.
They went to 'A Little Ink' first.
From a distance, you can see some tents and straw curtains piled up in front of the door of "Yidianmo".
Behind the straw curtain, there were some beggars huddled together.
The shop was filled with the smell of medicine.
Wen Yan frowned slightly, and when she walked into the shop, she felt the warmth of spring.
Then she found that the shop was particularly clean.
The floor was polished to a shine, not to mention the bookshelves and cabinets, even the roof was cleaned spotlessly.
The books and merchandise are also neatly arranged without any deviation.
Then she found that the shop was crowded with people.
Whether it was the steps or the ground, there were people sitting or standing.
Some of them were dozing off with their heads propped up, while others were reading, occasionally writing, drawing, or taking notes.
The atmosphere is like that of a college.
Su He saw Wen Yan and came up to her happily: "Miss, you're back!"
When the people around heard Su He call her "Miss," they all stood up and bowed respectfully to Wen Yan, saying, "Greetings, Miss Wen."
Wen Yan was startled. "What are you doing? Su He, what's going on?"
Su He told the whole story.
It turned out that on the second day of the blizzard, Su He opened his shop and provided heating for everyone for twelve hours without interruption.
At first, many scholars who had no money to buy charcoal came to this store to use the heating.
Beggars and poor people who couldn't stand the cold came over later.
Some people fell ill due to the cold, so Su He asked a doctor to prepare medicine for them, so the shop was filled with the smell of medicine.
Many people have saved their lives because of these medicines.
The shop also provides two meals of steamed buns a day. Although they are not delicious, they can keep the beggars from going hungry.
Later, those poor people and scholars who wanted to use the heating also bought steamed buns from the shop to fill their stomachs.
"Miss Wen, thank you for your kindness, otherwise we would have frozen to death outside."
"Yes, there were rumors about you in the past, but I think they are all nonsense."
Wen Yan waved her hands quickly and said, "It's just a small favor, don't worry about it.
But I want to correct one thing, I had already restored my biological father's surname before the Spring Festival.
My name is Liu Wenyan, you can just call me Xiao Liu from now on."
"Okay Miss Liu, we've all remembered it and won't call you the wrong name again."
The store now has heating all day long, so those who cannot afford charcoal will not leave at night.
Wen Yan and the other women are not suitable to continue living here.
After she left the ink stick and paint, she was asked to return to Qingfeng Xiaolou first.
She went to the accounting office with Su He to discuss things.
"Miss, the shop has barely managed to provide charcoal, medicine, and food. In the past ten days, we have already spent ten taels of silver, not just on the charcoal.
Should we continue?"
“Now that we have started, we cannot give up halfway.
If a good person only does half of his work, he will be hated."
Su He understood everything immediately and didn't say anything more.
Wen Yan patted her hand: "Don't worry, this good deed will not be in vain."
Su He nodded vigorously: "I believe Miss."
"What's going on at 'Qingfeng Xiaolou' lately?"
Speaking of the situation at Qingfeng Xiaolou, Su He's face lit up with a smile: "Qingfeng Xiaolou has been flooded with orders, and they're already booked up until the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. The most popular spots are Bingxi Lake and Baihua Courtyard."
Wen Yan was a little surprised, "Business is so good?"
"Of course. Our courtyard is so exquisite and beautiful, the service is attentive, and the heating is sufficient. We must be the first choice for those ladies who come out to relax and gather."
Wen Yan clenched her fist and encouraged, "Spring is coming soon. We can come up with a few more themes to keep the guests fresh."
After lunch, the sky became increasingly gloomy.
A blizzard is coming.
Wen Yan wanted to take Liu Laosi to Tianyi Cloth Shop to be an apprentice before the heavy snow fell.
They walked to the cloth shop and familiarized themselves with the roads in the capital.
Soon, they arrived at the store.
Due to the weather, there were no customers in the store.
Manager Cui invited them directly to the private room on the second floor.
"Young Master, today is only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, why are you returning to the capital?"
"Haven't we stocked up a lot of woolen vests? I want to sell them all while the weather is getting colder." Wen Yan joked for a few words, then pulled Liu Laosi in front of him and introduced him to Shopkeeper Cui.
"Uncle Cui, he is my fourth brother. I would like you to teach him how to manage the shop and do business."
