Chapter 460 Lin's Bakery
At dawn, Lianhua Village is bustling with activity.
Aunt Youyi passed by the Chen family's house and saw Chen Yongxing carrying farm tools to plow the fields. She hurriedly asked, "Yongxing, how is your sister-in-law? I haven't seen her."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yongxing's eyes showed a hint of worry. He said, "My sister-in-law is resting at home. She's not in a good mood. The wasteland incident has been a big blow to her."
His voice carried a hint of disappointment.
Villagers passing by heard this and quickly offered their advice.
“Yongxing, tell your sister-in-law not to be too sad. She has the restaurant’s revenue and will be able to make up for the losses in no time.”
"Yes, you should try to persuade your sister-in-law. She'll definitely be able to see things clearly."
“Reclaiming wasteland is not an easy task. You should focus on farming first. We can deal with the wasteland later. Take your time and don’t rush.”
"Where is your sister-in-law? We talked to her and have already persuaded you to agree."
Chen Yongxing felt quite gratified after hearing what was said, thinking that the villagers were all kind-hearted people who knew that his sister-in-law had helped the village solve many problems.
But when I heard the last sentence, I was so scared that I almost slammed the door shut.
Fortunately, he seemed rather composed and quickly said, "It's best not to try to persuade her. My sister-in-law is stubborn. If we don't let her think things through herself, no amount of persuasion will work. If she gets angry, she'll just start yelling..."
As Chen Yongxing said this, he kept apologizing to Wan Qiqi in his heart. He didn't mean to damage his sister-in-law's reputation; he just wanted to stop her at the door.
Because Wan Qiqi is no longer in Lotus Village at this moment.
Or perhaps it is no longer within the territory of Hefeng Town.
She had already left Lotus Village in her mule cart before dawn, when the villagers were still asleep.
As for when Wan Qiqi learned to drive a mule cart, she had already learned it more than a month ago.
Wan Qiqi knew very well that she needed to learn how to use mule carts and horse-drawn carriages to facilitate her business.
If she has the opportunity in the future, she also wants to learn to ride a horse, as it is the most efficient and reliable means of transportation in this era.
Of course, she would only learn these things secretly, without letting anyone else know.
Previously, she had almost completely exposed herself to the public eye, as if she were standing naked on the street.
Now, she needs to overcome all her weaknesses and gradually hide herself in the shadows so that she won't be schemed against or controlled by others.
On this trip, she needs to find someone.
An old friend!
The mule cart quickly left Yunhe County and headed towards Pinghe County.
The two counties are not located in a strategic area, nor are there any checkpoints, so the journey was smooth.
Compared to Yunhe County, Pinghe County is mostly mountainous with fewer rivers, and its villages are built along winding mountain roads.
When spring arrives and flowers bloom, the village seems to be hidden among the flowers and willows, a paradise that many people yearn for.
However, these places are actually quite poor, and people can only survive by cultivating land in the hills.
Farming is often more difficult for them than farming in flatlands.
Wan Qiqi drove through several villages and finally arrived at her destination around 1-3 PM.
Before even entering the town, a peach orchard came into view outside the town.
The petals fluttered in the wind, flowing gently along a stream.
Wan Qiqi slowed down her pace on the mule cart and followed the stream gently.
A moment later, a small town nestled in a peach orchard came into view.
This town is as famous as the peach blossoms outside the town, and is called Peach Blossom Town!
Taohua Town is located in Pinghe County and is famous for its peach blossoms. It is also a place where honey peaches are produced.
Almost every household in this town grows a few peach trees, and when the peaches ripen, they take them to Yunhe County to sell.
Why not sell them in this county, but instead transport them to the remote Yunhe County?
Naturally, it's because prices are low in Pinghe County that Yunhe County can sell at a good price!
Wan Qiqi pulled the mule cart into the town, and a few peach blossoms blew in the wind, landing on her shoulder.
She glanced at it sideways, but didn't pay any attention, and continued walking.
The townspeople didn't seem to pay much attention to this outsider.
Every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, some people from other places come to visit and stay in Peach Blossom Town for a day or two.
Some clever people bought the shops and built inns, planting ornamental peach trees in the courtyard to attract tourists from other places to stay.
Wan Qiqi hadn't gone far when she was stopped by a waiter at an inn. He said, "Miss, are you here to admire the peach blossoms? All the inns ahead are full, only my place has a few rooms left. Would you like to book one? They'll be gone if you're late!"
Wan Qiqi looked down at her clothes, then at her mule cart, tilted her head and smiled, "Do I look like someone who can afford to stay in an inn?"
The waiter was stunned by Wan Qiqi's words. After a long pause, he carefully examined Wan Qiqi again before saying, "Although your clothes and means of transportation are rather ordinary, you are clearly an extraordinary person. It would be an honor for the inn if you would do us the honor of staying for a few nights!"
Wan Qiqi couldn't help but glance at the waiter a few more times, thinking that he was quite eloquent and a good talker.
She smiled faintly and said, "It's a pity I'm not one to appreciate flowers. I've come to town to find someone and take care of some business. If I have the chance next time, I'll definitely come and stay for a couple of days."
As she spoke, she took out five copper coins from her bosom and handed them to the other person, saying, "You have a good way of speaking. If you are interested in changing your work location in the future, you can go to Lin's Bakery in town and find the manager. He will arrange for you to come and see me."
The waiter held the copper coin in his hand, watching the person leave, feeling somewhat depressed.
Lin's Bakery?
Isn't this the shop run by Lin Dazhuang, the guy from Yunhe County?
I've never heard anyone say he has any wealthy relatives!
Could it be his sister who was sold?
