Even after being bribed, the two officers remained furious and took the couple to the county government office in public. Their shop was shut down by the magistrate the following day.
The students had misunderstood Tian Sangui's family earlier, and now they all sat down and, even though they were embarrassed, ordered four dishes, among which the spicy fried fish was their favorite.
The fifty grass carp prepared were all sold out by noon, leaving only a plate of cucumber salad with garlic, which eventually became the family's lunch.
The day finally came to a successful end without any major incidents.
After lunch, Zhang was about to help prepare the ingredients for tomorrow when Tian Sangui told her that she had already contacted a regular supplier and that they would deliver the ingredients at a designated time in the afternoon.
Afterwards, she pushed Zhang to the backyard to rest, not wanting her family to be exhausted because of a small shop.
Money can't be earned in a day or two. Suddenly changing their lifestyle of many years will take a toll on their bodies. Tian Sangui must urge them to balance work and rest and must not let them be willful.
She took advantage of the time when no one was around to move all the vegetables in the space into the kitchen.
Just then, a familiar voice came from the front hall: "Is Miss Tian here?"
Hearing the noise, they came over and lifted the curtain to see that it was Steward Li with a servant in tow.
"Uncle Li!"
"Miss Tian, congratulations on your grand opening! I heard all the good reviews you have at Tongfu Restaurant!"
Manager Li smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
"Thank you for your kind words, Uncle Li. From now on, you can just call me San Gui!"
Tian Sangui wiped the water stains off his hands on his apron and spoke to him politely.
"Alright, San Gui, the time for the Spicy and Sour Jadeite is almost here. Do you have time this afternoon? I'll have my servant bring the goods over. Otherwise, I always feel empty inside and lose confidence when facing customers."
The trick Tian Sangui suggested worked for two days, but if we don't get the goods today, the customers will be chasing after us and yelling at us tomorrow.
Seeing the frown on Manager Li's brow, it turned out to be about this matter. He had been so busy with his own shop these past two days that he had completely forgotten about it.
"This is my fault for not handling things properly. Uncle Li, I'll take you to your house to pick up the goods right away."
Hearing her speak, Manager Li's energy was reignited, and he immediately became excited.
"Okay, okay, Ah Jin, hurry up and go with Miss Tian. Be careful on the way back, don't break the jar."
These jars are now his and Manager Yan's treasures, and they must not be damaged in any way.
"Don't worry, Manager Li, I will do my best to handle this."
Tian Sangui greeted his family and led the way in the donkey cart.
In the past few days, the weather has finally shown signs of warming spring, and the village no longer sees many people sitting around the locust tree as before.
Everyone else was busy in their own fields, but the old farmer's family was busy working on mud.
On the courtyard wall, Tian Laosan, who was being lazy, was lying down with a blade of grass in his mouth and his legs crossed leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, he saw Tian Sangui driving a donkey cart into view. His heart tightened and his body rolled to the ground. He hurriedly ran to Tian Laoda's side, snatched the mud from his hands, and quickly smeared it on the wall.
Although Tian Laoda was dissatisfied, he only frowned on the surface and never said a word, because Yun Shi taught him that the eldest brother should give way to his younger brother, especially the fifth brother.
Over time, this became a habit for him to be the eldest brother, which made him unable to speak out about his suffering. Wang's family was well-off, and they valued his honesty. Since marrying him, they often ignored Wang's taunts and the eldest brother's arrogance.
He thought there were some things he couldn't say himself, so he could use Wang's mouth to say them and vent his anger.
Tian Sangui knew without even looking that the dark figure just now must have been that lazy Tian Laosan.
Actually, there's no need to avoid her. She won't put in much effort for this kind of thing. Anyway, the handover date has already been set. As long as the house can be handed over on time, they can slack off however they want.
"Hey, San Gui's back! Look, your Uncle San has finished building the courtyard wall for you. We'll start building the inner room tonight!"
When Tian Laosan saw her enter the courtyard, he hurriedly ran over to help her with the donkey cart, beaming with pride as he tried to curry favor with her.
Tian Sangui naturally wouldn't hesitate to offer a compliment: "Third Uncle, you're quite efficient! Thank you for your hard work, Third Uncle!"
"Hehe...hehe...not at all, it wasn't hard work." Old Tian scratched his head sheepishly.
Although he didn't do all of this by himself, he did help a lot, so it's not an exaggeration for Tian Sangui to give him a compliment.
"Third Uncle, you go ahead and do your work. I'm just coming back to grab something and I'll be leaving soon. There are less than five days left in the seven-day period. Third Uncle, you have to keep going!"
"Hey, hey, don't worry, with Uncle San here, we'll definitely be able to hand over the house on time."
Hearing his promise, Old Tian, who was building the wall, was immediately filled with anger.
He had been building the house day and night, but now the credit had been stolen by this lazy third brother. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. With a "bang," he threw the mud in his hand against the wall and glared at the third brother who was taking credit.
Tian Laosan was startled by the stare. Why was his older brother looking at him like that today? Was he angry with him?
Then he thought, how could that be? He had done this many times before, so he must have been angry this time. Maybe he was glaring at Tian Sangui, after all, it was she who made Boss Tian suffer so much.
Tian Sangui didn't have time to chat with them, so she gestured for A Jin, who was tying up the horse behind her, to come over with her.
The two walked towards the back of the house. After a few dozen steps, Tian Sangui stopped in front of a pair of piles of dry grass. She bent down and forcefully pried open the piles of grass, revealing a bamboo cover inside.
Together with Ah Jin, they lifted the lid, revealing a cellar inside. It was dug out by Tian Da and Tian Er when she first pickled vegetables, for the convenience of storing kimchi.
Fortunately, it was this cellar that protected her; otherwise, the kimchi she made later would have been smashed and destroyed by the Yun family. She still feels lingering fear when she thinks about it now. If the Yun family had really destroyed it, her business with Tongfu Restaurant would have been severed, and she would have really gone crazy.
“Ah Jin, these are all too many for your carriage to fit in. How about this, divide them into five jars and put them on my donkey cart, and I'll take them over for you.”
"Wow, what a big jar! Thank you so much, Miss Tian. Now my manager and steward won't have to worry anymore."
Ah Jin smiled憨厚ly when he saw the jar she was pointing to.
Yu Tian Sangui quickly picked up the kimchi.
Ah Jin is indeed the most clever fellow. He brought a wooden low-legged cart with him when he went out, which was very convenient here. He could carry three more large jars in one trip, making it twice as efficient as two people.
After it was full, Ah Jin pushed the low cart to the front carriage to load more goods.
Tian Sangui stayed in the cellar and moved the jars at the back to the cellar entrance to make it easier for the next trip.
Tian Laosan, who had always been concerned about Tian Sangui, quickly put down the mud in his hand when he saw A Jin come out and ran to A Jin's side.
"Young man, let me help you!"
After saying that, he helped A Jin put the jar on the carriage, and A Jin smiled and thanked Tian Laosan.
"Thank you for your help, brother."
"Oh, it's nothing, no need to thank me!"
Ah Jin felt that he was a very warm person and had a good impression of him.
Taking advantage of this momentum, Tian Laosan tried his best to get closer to him.
"Young man, I'm San Gui's third uncle. I see you two are quite familiar. What do you two do?"
