Liu Miaoyan heard the specific cause and effect from Zheng Yingyan.
Xia Manni never expected that the simple-minded Miss Liu would experience such a big change in her life.
She didn't know how to comfort her, so she just held Liu Miaoyan's hand.
Liu Miaoyan looked at Xia Manni and said, "I came to see you today. First, I wanted to see you. It's not easy for me to come out. Second,..."
Xia Manni asked, "What is it?"
"Zheng Yingyan told me that you might know something about the war on the front lines. I came to ask... if I could get any news about Mu Tou."
Xia Manni suddenly realized, and she said how could she meet Liu Miaoyan by chance.
It turned out that he came specifically to find me.
Zheng Yingyan said this to Liu Miaoyan, probably because of the last time Shi'an Village was robbed.
How did he come up with this?
Did he get the news too?
The man named Mu Tou that Liu Miaoyan mentioned was the guard who followed her before.
Unexpectedly, she was still looking for him.
Xia Manni was a little confused, "Then you and Prefect Zheng..."
"We were still engaged. I don't understand why he didn't cancel the engagement, but we didn't like each other. He said if I could find the wood, we could end the engagement."
Xia Manni felt as if she had eaten a big melon, but looking at the look on Zheng Zhifu's face, he didn't seem like someone who would put himself in a difficult position.
Maybe there is something else hidden?
"I'm glad you still remember me. I just didn't expect you'd been through so much since we parted."
Liu Miaoyan shook her head, indicating that the matter was over.
"As for what you said about finding someone..."
Xia Manni looked at Liu Miaoyan's face full of anticipation, then changed her tone and said, "I'll try."
For someone like her who is trapped in seclusion, life will always be better if she has some expectations.
Sure enough, after Xia Manni finished speaking, Liu Miaoyan's eyes lit up and she became more energetic.
They chatted for a while and learned that Xia Manni was about to move to another location. Liu Miaoyan asked, "Where is the location? I can go and give her a gift then."
"Although I'm not allowed to go out casually now, I have a few good friends who can help you spread the word."
Xia Manni smiled and said, "That's great, but we can't open the store yet. I'll send you a message when we open."
“Why can’t it open?”
Xia Manni told Liu Miaoyan about the poisoning incident, but Liu Miaoyan immediately slammed the table.
"It's this Minister of Revenue. He is my father's political enemy."
"Auntie, please keep your voice down."
Xia Manni was so scared that she quickly grabbed Liu Miaoyan and asked her to eat the noodles that had just been served.
At first she thought Liu Miaoyan had changed, but she didn't.
Liu Miaoyan also knew that she was a little excited, so she quickly ate a few mouthfuls of noodles to cover it up.
"Mm, it's quite delicious."
Liu Miaoyan didn't stop eating and finished the whole bowl of noodles.
"Noodles like this are truly delicious, so opening a shop is the only way to justify their deliciousness. I haven't had a full meal in ages, and seeing you today feels like going back to the days when we were fleeing famine."
"Miss, Miss, we should go back."
The maid came over and Liu Miaoyan's smile immediately disappeared.
She said coldly, "I know...wait for me there."
"This is a small gift from me. Take it. If you don't spend the money, they'll find out sooner or later. If it's not enough, I can find a way."
Xia Manni looked at the paper on the table. Oh my God, it was a silver note.
It is definitely enough.
Xia Manni saw that the maid was always looking at them. She thought for a moment and took the banknote.
"I'll keep this money. Think of it as your investment. I'll give you a share every six months. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll open an account for you to keep it in."
Liu Miaoyan didn't expect such a good thing to happen, but when she thought about it, she felt a little depressed.
For her, this really solved her urgent problem.
Originally, she brought the banknotes out to ask Zheng Yingyan for help.
Unexpectedly, she got news about Xia Manni from Zheng Yingyan, and came to find her in a hurry.
Giving the silver note was not just about the wood, but more because the money was worth it to Xia Manni.
But unexpectedly, Xia Manni was also thinking about her.
When I think about those nominal brothers and sisters at home, they are not as meaningful as this friend in need.
"Miss!"
Xia Manni glanced at the maid and sneered, "Humph, I didn't expect the Liu family's maid to be so majestic."
The maid saw that Xia Manni was not someone to be trifled with, so she didn't dare to look at her and just kept looking at Liu Miaoyan.
"Let's go back."
Xia Manni felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Liu Miaoyan, who seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant.
After all, she still likes the lively and energetic Liu Miaoyan.
"Manny, who is that?"
"Let me introduce you. That's our shareholder, Liu Miaoyan."
“Shareholders, what are shareholders?”
Xia Manni told Zhang Cuiling about the banknotes, and Zhang Cuiling naturally had no objection.
This is one hundred taels, almost the same as the money the two of them got combined.
Zhang Cuiling said happily, "That's great. I have something to thank Miss Liu for."
"Yeah, I don't know when I can see her again."
…
After they had money, Xia Manni and Zhang Cuiling closed the noodle stall.
A notice was posted asking everyone to go to Hao Zai Lai Noodle House in Qionghua Lane to eat noodles one month later, and it was specifically stated that the price would remain unchanged.
After all, everyone knows that prices in Qionghua Lane are high and only dignitaries come and go.
The shops rented by Xia Manni and Zhang Cuiling both had a backyard with only three bedrooms.
If the children come back, we can squeeze in and get by.
The shop has two floors, and they plan to sell noodles and various stir-fried dishes on the first floor.
The second floor is the private room, and of course their menu has also become richer.
In this case, we will have to hire another cook and a few waiters.
The decoration is progressing smoothly. One month is about to be up and the store is about to open.
The guys were all found, but after posting the notice to recruit a chef, no suitable person was found.
One reason is that the money they gave was not much, which was considered small in Qionghua Lane.
Second, they have high requirements for cooks.
They are required to dress neatly, work meticulously, and have cooking skills.
As a result, gradually no one came to pay attention.
"Excuse me, are you hiring a cook here?"
A slightly hoarse woman's voice came from the door, and Xia Manni and Zhang Cuilin looked over.
Were they mistaken? Why did this person look so familiar?
Zhang Cuiling: "Who are you?"
Xia Manni: "Aunt Qiao?"
The man was also stunned. Could the two people in front of him be Xia Manni and Zhang Cuiling?
At this time, Aunt Qiao was already in tears, and her clothes had turned white from washing. It was obvious that she took this job very seriously.
"Manny? Cuiling?"
"It's really you, Aunt Qiao!"
At this time, Aunt Qiao could no longer control her tears.
