After returning to the country road, Jiang Wanwan finally saw pedestrians on the road and her heart was relieved.
She secretly thought that from now on, she would hold it in whenever possible and never run around to relieve herself again. She was better off being unlucky enough to get caught up in a conflict like she was today.
About half an hour later, the town gate of Longyang Town came into view in the distance.
Jiang Wanwan remembered that the bricks and tiles for building her house hadn't been ordered yet. She wasn't in a hurry to go home, so she decided to go to town first to order the bricks and tiles before returning, and also to visit the Laifu Inn.
As for Qi Zhao, hmph, he's not currently on her radar. Besides, she's already checked his wounds and given them some basic treatment; he won't die anytime soon.
Consider it interest he charged for dragging her into this mess.
With this in mind, Jiang Wanwan drove the oxcart towards the town gate without the slightest hesitation.
After these days, Jiang Wanwan had become quite familiar with the soldiers guarding the city gate. She greeted each soldier warmly, calling them "uncle" and "brother," and they chatted amiably.
After lingering at the town gate for a while, Jiang Wanwan chattered on and on before paying the entrance fee and entering the town satisfied.
Upon entering the town, she drove the oxcart straight to Laifu Restaurant.
Laifu Restaurant's business is noticeably a little better than before, but this amount of customers is only enough to keep the restaurant from going out of business.
Zhang Dakang, the waiter who was soliciting customers at the door, spotted Jiang Wanwan's swaying figure driving the oxcart at a glance. His eyes lit up instantly. "Miss Jiang, you've finally arrived."
He shouted as he jogged toward her.
"Miss Jiang, you've finally arrived! The shopkeeper, Chef Li, and I have all been looking forward to your arrival," Zhang Dakang said.
"You wouldn't believe it, but ever since you gave Chef Li his pointers, his culinary skills have improved a lot, and more people are coming to our restaurant to eat. However, we're just keeping it open."
The shopkeeper has been eagerly awaiting your visit, hoping to discuss with you how to attract more customers.
Zhang Dakang kept talking, then took the reins and led the oxcart toward the back door of the restaurant.
"Well, that's perfect. I was planning to come to the restaurant to check on things and discuss countermeasures with Uncle Laifu while I'm at it." Jiang Wanwan told a little lie without batting an eye.
Natural disasters and internal strife are imminent, so she needs to make a fortune now.
It's always good to have more money on hand.
After parking the oxcart in the backyard, Jiang Wanwan was about to leave when she suddenly remembered that there was still Qi Zhao in the sack. Worried that someone would find out, she told Zhang Dakang, "Brother Er, my ox has just been fed, it doesn't need to be fed again."
"Alright. I was just thinking of coming over to help Miss Jiang feed your cows when I have some free time later," Zhang Dakang said with a simple and honest smile.
Jiang Wanwan walked into the lobby of Laifu Restaurant with ease. When Zhang Laifu saw her, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a god of wealth.
"Niece, you've finally arrived!" Zhang Laifu exclaimed excitedly. "Come, come, this way please. Let's find somewhere else to talk."
Zhang Laifu led Jiang Wanwan towards the reception room. As they walked, he said, "My dear niece, thanks to you, our restaurant business has improved considerably. However, this business is barely enough to stay afloat; we're still a long way from opening branches all over the country, as you've said."
