Chapter 124 Song Wenfu's Plan
The news spread like wildfire, but not many people believed it at first. However, it spread more and more widely later.
Some people even swore that one of their relatives had personally entered the cave, moved a box of silver from it, and after becoming rich, he took his children to buy a house in the city.
Some people said that yesterday a rustic countryman came to exchange a muddy gem for buns.
There were all kinds of rumors, and they became more and more true, and more and more people believed them. Some people even went to the mountains to look for caves, hoping to see if they would be lucky enough to stumble upon treasure.
Jiang Tangtang also heard such rumors. Although she felt a little strange about why such rumors suddenly appeared, she didn't have time to think about it.
The shop isn't as busy these past couple of days as it was when it first opened, but it's still packed with customers. The people in the shop are pretty much busy.
We were busy like this until the day before the New Year, when everyone finally had a chance to take a break.
Jiang Tangtang calculated the money she had earned over the past few days. Excluding the peak period of the business, she had been able to make around one hundred to two hundred taels of silver every day. This was in addition to the batch of bamboo gift boxes she had ordered from Zhao Chuan's family, which had also been sold.
Now, including the advance payment from Jiuxia Silver House, she already has more than five thousand taels of silver in her hands.
With so much money, she could easily buy a house in the city and open a shop. Even opening a jewelry store wouldn't be a problem.
Jiang Tangtang was very happy and gave each person ten taels of silver. She also bought a lot of cloth and distributed it to everyone as a New Year's benefit.
Zhao Jia and Xiao Wang were so happy that they took the money and cloth home to celebrate the New Year.
"Where will we celebrate the New Year this year?" When everyone took a break, Su couldn't help but think of her eldest son who was far away in the barracks, and couldn't help feeling melancholy.
This time last year, she was still the Marquis of Dingbei Mansion's wife! Unexpectedly, this year, she became an exiled criminal...
Jiang Tangtang thought for a moment and said, "Let's just stay in the county town!"
The new house in the countryside was finished, but I hadn't had time to buy furniture. Chinese New Year was coming up soon, and it was too late to buy furniture. It would be better to celebrate Chinese New Year in the city.
Su sighed inwardly and added, "Then let's get ready. But Qiu Niang and Dan Niang have been working honestly for our family. They even eagerly sent some vegetables over a few days ago. We can't treat them unfairly. They should have what the shop assistants have!"
"Don't worry, Mom. I have prepared New Year gifts for them!" Jiang Tangtang decided to go to the countryside during the New Year.
Since it is a Chinese New Year benefit, it would be a bit disappointing if it was distributed after the New Year.
In addition, a few days ago, He Qiuniang asked Xia Zhirong to send over some vegetables from the wasteland. In addition to the small cabbages, they also sent over a few eggplants.
She had to find an opportunity to visit the vegetable garden and secretly water the vegetables with some spiritual spring water.
Thinking about this, Jiang Tangtang started making arrangements. In addition to the cloth, Jiang Tangtang also bought dozens of kilograms of pork, rice, flour and other things, loaded them onto the donkey cart, and took Guo Yu back to his hometown.
As soon as the two men drove the donkey cart out of the cake shop, several people came to Baiweizhai to pass on the message stealthily.
Song Wenfu received the news and a wicked smile appeared on his face, "That woman is finally willing to go out."
The cake shop had been doing good business recently, and Jiang Tangtang had been busy in the shop and couldn't leave at all. Even the task of purchasing flour and other raw materials for the shop was handed over to Lu Shili.
Song Wenfu sent people to watch her for a long time, but never found an opportunity.
Now that he heard that she had finally left, and was heading to the countryside, he immediately said excitedly, "Tell Bao Chen and the others to work more efficiently. We must get her today."
"Don't worry, young master. Bao Chen will never fail in such a thing. When the time comes, our restaurant will surely become the largest restaurant in Raoying County." The servant flattered him slickly.
Song Wenfu was flattered by the servant and rewarded him with two taels of silver.
The servant received the reward, said some good words, and hurried off to do his work.
Thinking about that woman, who not only had excellent cooking skills but also had the most stunning beauty he had ever seen, Song Wenfu called her back and instructed, "Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't damage the item. She must be delivered to me intact."
If that woman is sensible and willing to tell the truth, he wouldn't mind keeping her.
As a married woman, she was not qualified to bear the bloodline of the Song family, but it was still possible to keep her alive and keep her as a concubine.

Jiang Tangtang had been staying up late making pastries in the space a few days ago, which delayed her sleep. Now that she had taken a break, she couldn't help feeling sleepy.
In addition, the donkey cart swayed like a cradle, making people drowsy.
She simply tidied up the carriage, said hello to Guo Yu, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know how long she had slept when she was suddenly awakened by a jolt. Then, she heard Guo Yu's cry, "Sister Jiang, be careful, there are criminals attacking!"
Jiang Tangtang was startled and sat up suddenly. She pulled open the curtain and looked out. She saw several burly men in shorts and holding big swords surrounding the donkey cart.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang sticking her head out, one of the square-faced men showed a look of amazement in his eyes, and then said in a lewd tone: "No wonder he told us brothers to be careful, it turns out she is such a beauty!"
"Brother Bao, this beauty is truly stunning!" said another man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks, "How about we just give up the money and enjoy some meat first?"
"You are looking for death!" Guo Yu shouted, and stabbed forward with his long sword. The man with the pointed mouth dodged in a panic, but because he could not dodge in time, his arm was cut.
Blood gushed out, and the sharp-mouthed man shouted in anger, "Bitch, you dare to attack your grandfather? I'll beat you up first!"
"You can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. I'm going to pull out your dog teeth today!" Guo Yu cursed while her sword kept moving, stabbing at the man with the pointed mouth.
The sharp-tongued man initially ignored Guo Yu, a little girl, but after they officially started fighting, he realized that this little girl was a tough nut to crack.
Seeing his men being thwarted by a delicate little girl one after another, Bao Chen's face turned grim. He scolded the other men, "Hurry up and help Lao San. I'm going to catch this little beauty myself."
Several other men with machetes surrounded them. Guo Yu wanted to come over to save Jiang Tangtang, but he was helpless. He was entangled by several men and was powerless. He could only shout anxiously: "Jiang Tangtang, don't worry about me, just drive away."
"You want to escape? No way!" Bao Chen jumped onto the donkey cart and cut the ropes that tied it. He smirked and said, "My little beauty, your little maid can't save you. Be good and follow me back. I'll marry you!"
Jiang Tangtang smiled gently and said, "What if I don't?"
Seeing that she was not panicked at all and could even smile, Bao Chen was stunned for a moment, but soon his face darkened and he said, "Don't refuse a toast and drink a penalty."
Jiang Tangtang smiled gently, but her words were very tactless. "I've never listened to threats in my life!"
Bao Chen's expression changed and he reached out to pull her.
Jiang Tangtang saw the right moment and suddenly took out the pepper spray and sprayed him fiercely. Bao Chen screamed "Ah" and subconsciously withdrew his hands to cover his eyes. Jiang Tangtang took the opportunity to take out the big knife and stabbed him in the chest.
