A luxurious carriage slowly drove into Linjia Village. People looked at it curiously as it passed by, and from time to time it was linked to the Ye family, especially the women washing clothes by the river, who were discussing it heatedly.
"Carriage? Why is there another carriage coming to the village? Could it be that the Ye family bought another carriage?"
"Of course not. I heard they still owe some money for the carriage. They said they were just going back and forth every day, so it was just a convenience."
"Besides, if Ye Wanwan buys a cow and puts it in the village chief's house for everyone to use, I won't have anything to say to her."
"I don't have anything to say, I'm just envious. We're from the same village, but the gap between us will only get bigger and bigger in the future."
“…”
"I'm coming. Stop knocking." Ye Wanwan in the kitchen didn't even have time to take off her apron. The rapid knock on the door was harder to ignore than the sound of her cutting vegetables.
Shangguan En and his mother Chen Ye stood at the door of the Ye family. The servants and maids following behind them were holding a lot of things in their hands, which was very grand.
"Mr. Shangguan? What's this?" Although the person in front of her was dressed in completely new clothes, Ye Wanwan still recognized him at a glance. His temperament was indeed a little different after he had changed into a completely new one.
Shangguan En bowed sincerely, "Excuse me for interrupting you. I came here to thank you both for your protection that day."
"We didn't do anything. This is the young master's mother, right? Come, come, come in and have a seat. My humble home is simple, so please forgive me." Even though Ye Wanwan was a little puzzled, there was no reason for her to stop someone at the door and interrogate them.
The two of them sat down in the main room without any disgust. Chen Ye beside them also smiled gently, as if she felt more at ease in such an environment.
"I have already been to Brother Wan's house. I will definitely do my best to help with the business that Brother Wan mentioned." Shangguan En spoke first, expressing his attitude.
Only after he took charge of the Shangguan family did he fully understand what Wan Bin had experienced that day. Fortunately, he was no longer an abandoned child of the Shangguan family, but the head of the Shangguan family, and he had the ability to do so.
A month ago, Shangguan Qing died in a brothel while competing with others for a new top courtesan, making the Shangguan family a laughing stock in the entire Fusang City.
The Shangguan couple were heartbroken after losing their beloved son. The Shangguan family fell apart from that moment on. The Shangguan family, which was originally a nouveau riche, seemed to be unable to hold up the huge mirage anymore and was about to collapse.
Inside, the Shangguan family's children, who had long been dissatisfied, were fighting for it, and outside, there were jackals, tigers and leopards who had been eyeing the Shangguan family's resources and were waiting to plunder them. They all took action, fearing that if they were a step late, they would have nothing to eat.
"So, you won the fight?" Ye Wanwan listened quietly and couldn't help but sigh. Life is so unpredictable.
Shangguan En nodded, then continued, "I came here this time to thank Brother Lin and you for your protection that day. I brought a small gift, please accept it."
"It's not worthy of us. We didn't do anything. But Brother Wan and sister-in-law, please take care of them, Master Shangguan." Although money was tempting, Ye Wanwan didn't intend to take it and declined it politely.
Chen Ye, who was gentle and kind, also spoke up to persuade her, "Mrs. Lin, please don't be so polite. I also heard what happened in the past from En'er. Compared to En'er, these things are nothing."
"Madam, we really didn't do anything. As the saying goes, no reward without deed. If I just accept it like this, I'm afraid my husband won't be happy when he comes back." Ye Wanwan insisted.
Sometimes it wasn't that she was shy, but all the gifts had already been secretly marked with prices. She was not on an equal footing now, and accepting a sudden gift would only put her at a disadvantage.
"Madam Shangguan, Young Master, we appreciate your kindness. If you two have nothing to do, you can stay and have some simple meals. It's the busy farming season, and I really can't keep busy." After saying that, Ye Wanwan called Lin Tiantian and Ye Ansheng out, at least she was greeting guests.
Shangguan En and Shen Ye looked at each other, and shortly after Ye Wanwan went to the kitchen, they planned to leave quietly with the things left. Lin Tiantian and Ye Ansheng, who had received the order, naturally refused to do so. They only breathed a sigh of relief after all the gifts were loaded onto the carriage.
"Mission accomplished, boss, it's a pleasure working with you." Ye Ansheng crossed his hands behind his back and instantly transformed into an old village chief, saying proudly.
Since they started raising rabbits, regardless of how much money they made, these small business owners have learned a lot. They have acquired the skills to care for rabbits, socialize, and manage people. Their handwriting has also become much more beautiful in order to keep good accounts...
"Good rabbits, grow up quickly. Ning'er will feed you well every day so that we can make a lot of money." Wan Ning's childish voice echoed in the rabbit house. After a month, there were more and more rabbits in the rabbit house.
According to the initial division of labor, everyone in the group performed their duties. Even if there were some minor incidents, they were resolved through discussion, without hurting the relationship or delaying anything.
"Wanwan, there is a wonton stall not far from our house. I heard from several old customers that the taste is the same as ours." Ye Bufan complained casually while whipping a bamboo stick.
Then Wushuang, who had gone to the stall together and helped for a few days, looked a little nervous, with his hands constantly moving, and he looked very uncomfortable.
"Dad, this is normal. When the weather gets hotter, I'll make some wontons with red oil. They'll be so delicious." Ye Wanwan didn't take it seriously. There was nothing special about the wontons she made. It was normal to imitate some of them.
Who doesn’t chase profit? The fact that some people imitated their wonton stall also indirectly proves that their wonton stall is doing well. Good business is good, and the only thing to worry about is bad business.
Ye Bufan stacked the bamboo strips together. His skills couldn't be wasted. "You're right. I think your skills are not much worse than those of the chefs."
"Dad, don't underestimate your daughter. Maybe I'm even better than them!" When Ye Wanwan said this, she thought of the Manchu Han Banquet. She was also capable!
Fang listened to the father and daughter and placed the cakes she had bought on the table. "You're still talking about a restaurant? You're talking as if you've eaten there before! Wanwan, come and have some red bean cakes."
"Okay, mom is still the best to me." Ye Wanwan sat over obediently, picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
Ye Bufan said unconvincedly, but his voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, feeling a little guilty. "Of course I have eaten it. When I was hanging out with them, they brought it out for me to taste..."
