Escape after crossing

"I wonder if you want silver or banknotes? Don't worry, banknotes can be exchanged in all banks.

And if you are worried that the bank cannot exchange it, you can go to any Huajianfu to exchange the silver note. This is the silver note that is unique to Huajianfu."

Jiang Ziluo was enlightened. She really didn't know about the silver note that was unique to a restaurant. Seeing the pride that Shopkeeper Hong showed when he talked about it, Jiang Ziluo really wanted to see the silver note.

"Shopkeeper Hong, I need four hundred taels of silver notes. I'd like to trouble you to change the remaining one hundred taels into silver and copper coins."

"No problem, please wait a moment, I'll have someone get the money."

Shopkeeper Hong walked out of the private room, called the waiter over, whispered something in his ear, and the waiter left.

"Miss, where do you live?" Manager Hong asked as he came back and sat down.

"My home is in Siyuan Village, more than ten miles away from Luo City. When you get there, you can ask where Jiang Runzhi's home is and you can find him." Jiang Ziluo felt there was no need to hide it.

"Then how are you going to get home later, young lady? I have a carriage here, can you please send me to take you home?"

Jiang Ziluo didn't think there was anything wrong with Shopkeeper Hong's behavior. Although she knew that one should be on guard against others, she felt that this shopkeeper was quite nice after meeting him today.

"To be honest with you, Shopkeeper Hong, I want to buy some things later, and I'm afraid I'll delay you."

"Well, girl, go shopping. If you can't take the things you bought, just tell me and I'll take you home."

Jiang Ziluo looked at Shopkeeper Hong, somewhat puzzled. What he did before was considered polite.

Why did she feel that Manager Hong had some ulterior motive? Why was he so attentive?

Shopkeeper Hong has his own agenda. He is able to be the shopkeeper for so many years, and it is said that the owner of Huajianfu is very mysterious.

Most of the decisions are made by the shopkeeper, so he has a good vision. Listen to what Jiang Ziluo said just now.

He thought that this girl must have some recipes. If he could get along well with her, then when she had a chance to sell recipes, he would…

Haha, I can only say that profiteers are profiteers. I just bought the recipe book and I want to buy more.

When Shopkeeper Hong saw Jiang Ziluo looking at him like this, he knew that she had misunderstood.

"That's right, girl. Although we can only use two of the three recipes this time, the one that can't be used is the most critical one.

I just want to let the girl know that if you have any good recipes in the future, you can go directly to any Huajianfu restaurant. Now just think of it as me trying to please the girl."

After Manager Hong said this, Jiang Ziluo felt relieved a little, but Jiang Ziluo was not a teenager and still had the necessary guard against him.

"Manager Hong, you are joking. If my family still had recipes, wouldn't we have become wealthy long ago? Why do we have to be so poor to sell recipes?

Even for Shopkeeper Hong, who thinks highly of me, I will study the dishes carefully when I go home. If I really come up with a good dish in the future, I will definitely tell Shopkeeper Hong."

At this time, the waiter came in with a tray, containing a stack of silver bills, eight silver ingots, two silver blocks, and a string of copper coins.

Shopkeeper Hong pushed the tray towards Jiang Ziluo and asked, "I wonder if this distribution is okay, young lady?"

"The shopkeeper is really attentive. Thank you."

Jiang Ziluo picked up the silver bills, counted them and put them into his clothes, and put the eight silver ingots into the grain pocket in Jiang Runzhi's hand.

The silver was left behind, and the copper coins were put into the clothes. All these actions were done in front of Shopkeeper Hong, as there was no other place on the father and daughter to hide the money.

"There is something else I need the shopkeeper's help with."

"Girl, please tell me. I will do what I can."

"I need some salt, sugar, and some seasonings for cooking. These things are hard to buy outside right now, and I'm anxious to get home, so I want to..."

"That's easy. We don't lack these things. Wait, I'll have them installed."

"Wait a minute, boss, I know your restaurant doesn't care about these things.

But in our eyes, it is a precious thing. No matter what, I will pay for it. If the shopkeeper doesn't accept it, I will go out and buy it a few more times."

"Haha, okay, how many do you want, young lady?"

"I don't quite understand this, and I don't know how much silver is worth per pound. This is five taels of silver.

Shopkeeper, please pack some for me. You don't need to give me too much. Ziluo will remember your kindness."

Shopkeeper Hong asked someone to prepare things. After Jiang Ziluo and Jiang Runzhi took their things, they said goodbye to Shopkeeper Hong and left.

After leaving Huajianfu, Jiang Runzhi's eyes were still wandering. After walking a little further away, Jiang Runzhi dared to speak.

"Second girl, is this true? Is Daddy dreaming? What...are we going to do now?"

Jiang Ziluo pinched Jiang Runzhi's arm. Jiang Runzhi felt pain for a moment, then he calmed down and realized that this was true.

Jiang Ziluo saw that Jiang Runzhi had received the letter, but why did he suddenly become so worried?
