Jiang Yan changed the subject: "Qin Baoren, I want to rent a shop in the town later. It doesn't need to be big, it just has a storefront. Can you help me keep an eye on it?"

Qin Baoren put away the contract and then said: "No problem, I will pay attention to the shops in the town in the past few days. If there is a suitable one, I will tell Old Wu, Aunt Jiang, if you have any other instructions, just tell me

explain."

Jiang Yan smiled slightly. This Qin Baoren was so flattering to her because he thought she had some relationship with Shangguan shopkeeper. He was really a shrewd businessman.

"Then we'll have to trouble Mr. Qin Bao. There will be a lot of things in the future, and we'll have to trouble Mr. Qin Bao again." It will definitely not work to find people from the village to build a house at that time. Since Qin Bao is so enthusiastic, it won't work.

When the time comes, you can ask him to help find some talents who are professional in building houses.

She took out a tael of silver from her pocket and handed it to Qin Baoren: "I am a peasant woman and don't know how to calculate this bonus money. This is just a treat for Qin Baoren to have a meal."

Qin Baoren even said with a smile: "Then I'd rather obey your order out of respect. Thank you, Aunt Jiang." He put down the money with a smile. Aunt Jiang was really generous. If it were anyone else, five hundred coins would be considered a big deal.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yan knew that she had given him too much, but it was not practical to give him coin by coin.

After leaving the house, Qin Baoren returned home. Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel envious. She just went out for a walk and got a tael of silver. If it were herself, she would have to climb up to the mountains to earn money.

, we are all human beings, and some people really live too comfortably.

The newly bought carriage they bought has been parked outside the shop, and two dairy goats have also been pulled out. Jiang Yan turned back to Old Wu and said, "Does Angkor know how to drive?" She can't drive, let alone a carriage, not a ox-cart.

meeting.

Old Wu nodded, followed suit, and got on the carriage directly under Jiang Yan's expectant eyes. Several children also cheered and circled around the carriage.

"Angkor, I plan to buy some things in the town and stop by the stall to see my sons. Usually by noon, they will close the stall. Then we can go back to the village together?"

"no problem."

Several adults nodded numbly. They were still immersed in the shock of Jiang Yanhua's dozens of taels, especially Lin Jun and Lin Yousheng. The surprise on their faces was undisguised.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Shangguan Mingzhi quickly stopped him: "Aunt Jiang, wait a minute! I have a business that I want to talk to you about. I wonder if you have time now?"

Jiang Yan turned around, guessing what kind of business Shangguan Mingzhi wanted to do. Thinking that he sent people to buy rice rolls almost every day, especially when he had to add chili, she knew about it.

But it’s not that she doesn’t want to do this business, it’s that chili peppers are too difficult to handle. There aren’t many wild chili peppers in the mountains, so it’s hard to find them. Cornus officinalis alone can’t produce the same flavor, and the few small patches planted in the backyard of her home have only grown.

I don't have enough for my own use, so I really don't have any extra to sell to him.

If she bought it in the mall, she didn't have a suitable excuse to take it out. A small amount would be fine, but if the amount was too large, it would arouse others' suspicion. She didn't want to be caught and burned to death as a monster.

"Shangguan, please tell me if you have anything to say." She was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no doubt in her eyes.

Shangguan Mingzhi admired her even more. They were both smart people. When one looked at each other, he immediately understood that the other knew that he wanted chili pepper. With a thought in his mind, he said: "Why don't you go to Chang'an Restaurant? The recipes you gave me these days

But the business of my restaurant is booming, and I am the owner today, and I hope Aunt Jiang will give me a favor."

Jiang Yan was surprised that Chang'an Restaurant actually belonged to Shangguan's family. She should have guessed it a long time ago. Shangguan Mingzhi looked gentle, but in fact she had a delicate heart, a delicate mind, and a deep city. She was a born businessman. Her appearance remained unchanged and her voice was calm.

He said: "In this case, of course we can't displease the shopkeeper Shangguan. We haven't eaten in such a good restaurant, so I would like to thank the shopkeeper for spending the money."

Anyway, I'm hungry, and it's almost time to eat. If someone invites me, I won't eat for free.

A group of people drove a carriage, led a donkey and held sheep to Chang'an Restaurant. When they arrived at Chang'an Restaurant, the shopkeeper smiled even more attentively. He was afraid that others would not see that he was trying to please Jiang Yan, so he greeted a few people and went upstairs.

Go to the private room.

Shopkeeper Fu looked at his old boss, how careless he was! He never expected that his boss would meet a village woman. When he thought about how polite and enthusiastic he was to Aunt Jiang at that time, the fear in his heart subsided a little.

Thinking of this, he had to look at Jiang Yan again. The more he looked, the more he felt that this person had an outstanding temperament. No wonder he knew his boss. This time the recipe made him stand out in front of his boss, and he also got a lot of rewards.

The boss, who had never come to the restaurant very often, came several times in succession, allowing him to gain face in front of other shopkeepers.

Now that he saw that his boss had even brought his wife's Aunt Jiang, he secretly made up his mind to please this woman in the future. If his boss was happy, he might be able to be transferred back to the capital city this year.

The decoration and layout of Chang'an Restaurant are very particular. The first floor is already very grand and luxurious. The tables and chairs are made of fine wood. The entire first floor is filled with a faint fragrance. There is also a special stage set aside for the storyteller to perform.

There are also several paintings of the four seasons and many poems hung on the wall at the back. From time to time, a few scholars would gather around and chat with each other.

There is a separate private room on the second floor, and there are also picture albums hanging in the room, which are more valuable than those downstairs. The whole room is filled with a strong atmosphere of book coupons. Even if ordinary people come in, they will subconsciously raise their heads and raise their chests, with a bit of aura.

.

Jiang Yan didn't feel anything at all. After sitting down, she looked around and didn't look any further. The room was very elegant and the environment was very good. It was the kind of place that was popular among scholars, but to her, it was just a place to eat.

.

"Everyone should be more comfortable. We are just having a meal. Don't be nervous."

Looking at Lin Yousheng and the others, Jiang Yan comforted her. The places she had been to before were more advanced, more gorgeous, and more luxurious. To her, they were more antique, but to Lin Yousheng and the others, this was

They have been to the most high-end places, whether they are eating or passing by, this kind of place is territory they will never step into.

Although Chang'an Restaurant is equally hospitable to ordinary people, such a restaurant, with its luxurious decoration and high-end style, as well as the businessmen and celebrities coming and going, creates a barrier that divides two kinds of people, the poor and the rich.

And they are poor people, the kind of people who will subconsciously avoid restaurants when they see them.

Not only the material wealth, but also the psychological and cultural aspects. This embarrassing sense of inferiority and helpless and envious frustration seems to be innate. As time goes by, it becomes more and more deeply rooted in the bone marrow, making
