Lin Xu'an said calmly, "I have learned my lesson. Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. All we need to do is to have a clear conscience. If the officialdom is truly corrupt, even if we are alone, what does it matter?"
Besides, in the current situation, if he were to become an official, he would be alone, and he would have to be alone, Lin Xu'an thought to himself. Of course, the teacher didn't need to know this.
If the prince succeeds, he will have the merit of following the emperor, and the people he makes friends with can only be the prince's confidants. If the prince fails, he would have slipped away to who knows where, and there would be no need for him to engage in intrigue.
"Okay, let's go back first." The teacher sighed. This was such a good outing to enjoy the flowers, but it turned out like this.
Lin Xu'an didn't say anything more. If the Master didn't hate the corrupt officialdom, he wouldn't have come back to be a Master. Therefore, he was particularly disgusted with things like scheming. But today, this was the best result.
The weather in the afternoon changed suddenly. A drizzle successfully trapped Ye Wanwan, who had been jumping around in the mountains, at home. Several people came to her to discuss business.
"Teach you how to grill skewers?" Ye Wanwan was a little surprised. It seemed that the transformation was useful. Of course, it might also be that the money was useful.
Several women in Linjia Village who were on good terms with each other nodded repeatedly and spoke one after another.
"Yes, Eucalyptus wife, we all know how delicious that kebab is."
"We have been thinking about this for many days. We hope you can give us this opportunity."
"Yeah, we won't let you teach us in vain. When the time comes, what will we do? Will it be called a certain time?"
After hearing these words, Ye Wanwan was convinced that they had been planning this for a long time. She still needed to think again about starting a food business...
"Okay, I'll prepare some materials tomorrow and you can come over." Ye Wanwan said with a smile. No matter what, just support her first. It's rare that everyone has this idea.
The women waved their hands, unwilling to take advantage of this, and said with a hardened heart, "No, no, we will bring our own things here, and we will trouble Wanwan to teach us."
"I said I want a certain percentage, so naturally there's a part for me. Don't you want to have anything to do with me?" Ye Wanwan couldn't help but look at them with admiration, not caring about it.
After seeing the women off, Ye Wanwan lay on the table and muttered to herself, "I wonder where Xiaowu is in this weather?"
Normally, she would discuss everything with Xiaowu, but now, she is left alone again. Alas, it is so heartbreaking!
"Wanwan, can I come in?" Wang Po's hurried footsteps stopped at the door and she knocked a few times.
This was Ye Wanwan's request. After all, Mrs. Wang was very impetuous. Sometimes she would just barge in when she came to see her, which sometimes really scared her.
Ye Wanwan came back to her senses and responded loudly, "Come in, Aunt Wang."
"Wanwan, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?" Wang Po learned this trick from somewhere and kept talking nonsense.
Ye Wanwan answered fluently and said that she was born to love acting. "Listen to the bad ones first, and you can listen to the good ones later to heal yourself."
"No, you have to listen to the good things first, otherwise, I can't continue to tell you the bad things." Wang Pozi coughed tactically and said happily.
Ye Wanwan nodded helplessly, "Okay, then I'll listen first, it's bitter before sweet."
"Don't I go to town every day? The wharf is finished! The shops there are going to start selling. This is good news." Before Ye Wanwan could reply, Wang Pozi couldn't wait to finish her words. "The bad news is that after the wharf is built, the government is out of money. They say it might be auctioned off. I heard that many people are eager to get involved."
Ye Wanwan handed over a glass of water and said, "It's really bad news, Aunt Wang, drink some hot water first and then change your clothes."
She didn't know what the auction price was, which was indeed bad news for her. After all, although Fu Yu City was poor, there were still rich people. If someone else bought it and collected rent, she would have to suffer the loss in silence.
The ideas of the wealthy families in Fu Yu City are not much different from Ye Wanwan's. Some plan to buy the property as a dowry for their daughters, while others are far-sighted and have spotted future business opportunities and are ready to take the initiative... In short, there are quite a few people who want it.
Ye Wanwan lay on the custom-made recliner, listening to the sound of dripping rain, gazing into the distance at the flower rain scattered in the wind and rain, her thoughts drifting far away.
"No wonder he's an orphan..."
"Look at her, she's pretending to be dead every day. What's the harm in copying her for me?"
…
"Sister, it's time for dinner." Ye Ansheng called out several times but no one answered. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Wanwan sleeping on the recliner.
There seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes. Ye Wanwan straightened her dress. The grievances she had suffered in her previous life seemed to have happened a long time ago. Now, she was Ye Wanwan, who was accompanied and loved by someone.
"Well, let's go eat." Ye Wanwan took the umbrella from Ye Ansheng and said softly.
Ye Ansheng took the initiative to hold Ye Wanwan's other hand, and as usual, he chattered about what happened in the school. He slowly told them everything he found interesting.
Ye Wanwan never hesitates when it comes to what she promised to others. Early the next morning, even though it was the best time to go up the mountain after the rain, she suppressed her restless heart.
After breakfast, he began to prepare the materials he would use, and then went to the town with Lin Quan to buy a lot of things. Of course, he also did not forget to go to the dock for a stroll and inspection.
Maybe the government was really short of money, so the shops were all long and narrow. Ye Wanwan walked around in them and could hear other people's complaints from time to time. But she felt the opposite, thinking that for a food shop, this kind of shop was perfect.
However, what she should be thinking about is how to acquire as many shops as possible with her current wealth? Or, in other words, begging them to really not buy if they are not satisfied...
"Uncle Quan, where did you buy the grill last time? Let's go buy a few more." Ye Wanwan said with a smile as they got on the carriage.
Lin Quan nodded and said, "Okay, if you've bought everything, just go ahead and tell me."
At Lin Yu's insistence, Lin Quan also stayed in the school, responsible for purchasing and some trivial matters, and had a stable income.
"Every step of grilling is important. The meat must be handled well. Similarly, you must be careful when grilling. The meat cannot be fishy, dry, or burnt. These are all undesirable." While Ye Wanwan was making the sample, she did not forget to explain the key points.
The women listened attentively, and when they encountered something they didn't understand, they would raise their hands to ask. Ye Wanwan was a little puzzled by their behavior, but when she heard their explanation, she smiled knowingly.
