Chapter 44: Danger
Qin Huiyin did not persuade her any further.
Mr. Tang San has no other relatives, so she should help him as much as she can in the future. That will be more practical than giving him money.
Song Ruize was the first to leave the table again.
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu were not very hungry. After tasting the delicious food prepared by the chef, they told Mr. Tang San to drink slowly and they went inside to rest first.
The two sisters lay in bed, and Tang Luwu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"Yinyin, I feel like I'm dreaming."
"What dream?" Qin Huiyin's body was not made of iron. After all this tossing and turning, she was already exhausted.
When Tang Luwu was talking to her, her brain had already started to sleep. She could vaguely hear Tang Luwu talking, but couldn't understand what she was saying.
"This is a wealthy family. We eat and sleep in a rich family's house and earn a lot of money. Isn't it like a dream? Ten taels of silver are enough for our family to live a worry-free life for several years, if we didn't have those debts..."
Before Yinyin appeared, she had never even seen silver, let alone ten taels of silver.
Since Yinyin appeared, she not only wore good clothes and ate meat every meal, but also experienced the life of a wealthy family.
Yinyin is so amazing. No wonder Aunt Li loves her so much. If she were as amazing as Yinyin, would she also be loved by her father and Aunt Li?
The life of the rich is so good, even the toilets are fragrant. And the gardens, small bridges and flowing water are so beautiful.
Yinyin said that what she saw was only the most remote corner, and the place where the host and the guests stayed was more exquisite.
"We will be rich in the future." Qin Huiyin muttered, turned sideways, and said drowsily, "Let's go to sleep. We still have to go around the county tomorrow."
The next day, after Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu got up, the servant from yesterday brought them breakfast.
Although it was just simple steamed buns and vegetable porridge, it was enough to impress them.
When it comes to dealing with people, the second butler is a role model, so he deserves to be promoted, get a raise, and reach the peak of his life.
"We will leave your house after breakfast. The second butler is busy, so we won't disturb him. Please help us say goodbye to the second butler." Qin Huiyin said.
"The second housekeeper said that Miss Qin must be busy and asked if she needed any help. If so, I can arrange it."
Qin Huiyin certainly wouldn't take the opportunity to ask for anything. If she did, her previous impression points would be wiped out. She thanked the second housekeeper for his kindness and reiterated that she would leave after breakfast.
After the servant left, Qin Huiyin saw Third Master Tang coming out and asked, "Third Master, we will leave here after breakfast. Is Song Ruize still not up?"
"That guy left a long time ago." Master Tang San said helplessly, "I saw him so cooperative yesterday, and I thought he finally had some popularity, but it turned out that I overestimated him. He is just a stinky stone in the toilet, smelly and hard."
"What is he busy with? We are just going to learn about the market in the county town. He will be bored if he follows us. We can go our separate ways and then gather together when we are ready to leave."
"It's not that we're going to separate. That kid went to register for the dam construction." Mr. Tang San said, "I was sleeping soundly this morning when he woke me up. Then I heard him say he was going to build a dam. I asked him to pay the money and cancel his place, but he left without saying anything. I couldn't figure it out. Building a dam is hard work, and most people can't do it. The most important thing is that it's a large-scale project, which will take at least one or two years, and at most seven or eight years or even ten years. How could a 14-year-old kid like him be so stubborn?"
"Everyone has their own aspirations, and we can't force him." Qin Huiyin thought about the original plot, comforted Mr. Tang San, and invited them to eat.
After breakfast, they no longer lingered in the luxurious mansion and drove the ox cart to the market.
The county town was indeed much more prosperous and lively. They first went to the market to learn about the food sales in the market, and then asked about the rental of stalls in the market. You should know that you cannot set up stalls casually in the county town, and you have to pay stall fees if you want to sell things in the market.
"A bun costs three coins. Things in this county are too expensive." Tang Luwu sighed, "And the stall fee is fifty coins a day. If you pay it monthly, you can save some money, but it still costs one or two taels of silver."
Qin Huiyin saw the information about shops for rent in front of her, and picked out a few smaller ones to inquire about. It turned out that the monthly rent of the most remote and smallest one was ten taels of silver.
"Qin's girl, what do you think?" Mr. Tang San asked, "I've looked around and I've pretty much understood it. Do you think your business can be successful in the county?"
"Of course!" Qin Huiyin pointed at the well-dressed men, women, and children on the street and said, "The county is much bigger than the town. There are more rich people. Anyone with a little property is willing to satisfy their appetite. Since ancient times, the first thing ordinary people need to live a good life is food and clothing, followed by housing and transportation."
Third Master Tang agreed with her thoughts: "You are so young, but you have realized so much. It seems that you really suffered a lot when you were wandering with your mother."
"Third Grandpa, let's go around this county and take a look!" Qin Huiyin said, "Let's find out what's the most popular thing here, and also find out how the local officials govern their subordinates and what kind of people they are..."
Qin Huiyin walked around and picked out some seasonings that were not available in the town. She also found many foreign seeds that others did not recognize in the seed shop.
Two hours later, it was noon, and they had a bowl of noodles. Not to mention that a bowl of noodles cost ten coins, the noodles were too soft and chewy, and the soup was bland and tasteless. In their eyes, it was better not to eat this bowl of noodles. Perhaps because of Qin Huiyin's cooking skills, they always felt that this bowl of noodles was hard to swallow.
When they returned to the town, it was already afternoon. Instead of rushing home, they went to the private school to find Tang Yichen.
"Are you Tang Yichen's family?" the old man guarding the gate asked, "Where have you been? Something happened to Tang Yichen, don't you know?"
"What happened?" Qin Huiyin asked, "He was fine when we left yesterday. He has only been outside for one day. What could have happened to him?"
"He's in the clinic," the old man said. "We sent someone to notify your family, but only a half-grown child came to accompany him. We don't know how he is doing now."
"Uncle, what happened?"
"Your Tang Yichen was stabbed and was badly injured. He almost died." The old man sighed, "Several teachers are running around for him, vowing to seek justice. Now they are still asking for justice at the Inspection Office. I don't know the details. I'm just an old man guarding the gate. You will know when you meet Tang Yichen."
