Accompanying A-Kang in were Shen Wei-Xun and several of Lan Miao's Blue Wolves.
An Jing is dead?
Ah Chen frowned slightly. "The one who insulted me? How did he die?"
After Ah Kang sat down, he said, "He died at home three days ago."
"What trouble could happen if someone died at home?"
A-Kang glanced at A-Yin before saying, "When I went to the city to buy things, I heard people talking about how worms kept crawling out of An Jing's mouth when she died."
"Her whole family was terrified!"
"Then it spread everywhere that it was our Miao people who did it! Because An Jing only started feeling unwell after being thrown out by our Miao people."
A-Kang also said that he sent someone to investigate the source, and it came from An Jing's uncle, who was also Shen Weixun's superior during her internship.
So now there are all sorts of things people say about the Miao people.
After hearing this, Ah Chen knew without a doubt that it must have been the Grass Demons who did it.
"Where is the trouble? Where did it happen?"
Jiang Ya said, "The problem is that with the Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and Star Sugar about to ripen, wealthy people from other places have been arriving in Tianfeng County one after another. They seem to have heard the rumors and have already scared away a small number of people."
"Ah Chen, if this matter isn't resolved, the orchard will be affected!"
Jiang Ya also stated that the county head had already contacted him.
Ah Chen said indifferently, "So what if they're leaving? We won't have trouble selling our sacred fruits! But—"
Ah Chen thought for a moment, then turned to the aunties beside him and said, "Since some people are not afraid of my Miao grass ghosts and still want to ruin the reputation of my Miao fruit forest, then let them regret it when they go down there."
The women nodded silently and then went out.
"Ah Chen, if that's the case—"
Jiang Ya was a little worried.
But Ah Chen said, "Don't worry about it, and there's no need to explain to others or prove your innocence!"
"After all, some things about my Miao family are understood by those who understand them, and those who don't understand but still want to meddle will have to be shut up by other means."
"Besides, the affairs of the grass ghosts are not something we Miao men can concern ourselves with."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ya and A Kang nodded in unison.
Ah Chen added, "Since the county magistrate has come to Tianfeng County to take on a major role, he is more astute than we imagine, so we don't need to worry about him."
"Ah Chen, do you mean everyone should remain silent about this?"
"What else? Brother Kang, do you have a better idea?"
A better way?
Among the Miao men, only the future Miao King is allowed to interfere in matters concerning the grass ghosts; for others to do so is against the rules.
Jiang Ya said to A Kang, "This makes sense. After all, outsiders all say they know how powerful the Miao grass ghosts are, but who has actually seen the secret techniques of the Miao grass ghosts?"
"Alright, let's not bring this up! Tell me about those wealthy people who came to Tianfeng County to buy sacred fruits. I bet the county head is busy entertaining them right now, trying to attract investment!"
Jiang Ya smiled broadly when this was mentioned.
Even Ah Kang couldn't stop smiling.
After all, when those wealthy bosses arrive, the first thing they do is get their cars washed at A-Kang's.
While waiting for the car to be washed, they ate something and took the opportunity to promote the delicious food of the Miao people.
I've made quite a bit of money these past few days.
After A-Kang told A-Chen about these circumstances, A-Chen nodded: "As expected."
"Even so, Ah Chen, the others are envious, and they've started setting up stalls along the roadside near our car wash."
"Fortunately, our own space is spacious enough, and we also have a car wash, otherwise we would really be worried that people from other ethnic groups would steal our business."
"Also, as the time for our Miao family's sacred fruit to ripen gets closer, the area near the car wash seems to be forming a small market."
Ah Kang became more and more excited as he spoke, because even he didn't expect that there would be such a big change in their Lanmiao area in just seven or eight months.
All of this was brought to them by the future Miao King.
However, compared to A Kang's excitement, Jiang Ya had a broader perspective.
"Ah Chen, the county magistrate came to see me. From what I could tell, he wanted to take over the hospitality arrangements for these visiting business owners. What do you think about this—"
"What are your thoughts, Sheng Tang?"
Jiang Ya said, "Our idea is, whatever! But we can set up restaurants and provide accommodation in Que Dong Village."
That's a great idea!
In this way, the wealthy will have food when they are hungry and a place to sleep when they are tired!
Isn't it the Miao people who benefit from this money?
Who came up with this idea?
"Saint...Saintess".
Ah Mo?
This young wife is already famous in the business world! How can she still find time to think about these things?
"No wonder I was wondering why a row of stilted houses were built in front of the newly constructed site in Que Dongzhai and Hei Wuzhai. So that's why."
“Yes! And the women from Quedong Village and Heiwu Village will be in charge of cooking. The girls can also help out when they are free, and they can lend a hand if there are too many people.”
"Hmm! That's a good idea, let's do it that way."
Ah Chen thought about it for a moment and then agreed.
He then shared some of his views and some patterns he knew from his previous life.
Jiang Ya and A Kang hurriedly took out paper and pen and wrote everything down.
a long time--
After Jiang Ya finished writing, he said, "By the way, Ah Chen, when we entered the mountain, Chief Tang and Chief Mu asked me to ask you when to set prices for the two kinds of sacred fruits?"
"The fruits will gradually ripen in about a week, and I will come over then."
