A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

At noon that day, several students from the academy came to the hot pot restaurant, among them was Gao Xiuwen.

When Shen Qingqian saw Gao Xiuwen, she just glanced at him a little longer without any extra expression.

It was normal for a shop to have acquaintances come to visit. They were guests, so she just had to treat them well!

Gao Xiuwen was very surprised when he saw Shen Qingqian!

He was even more surprised to see Shen Qingqian greeting people politely and collecting money like a shopkeeper.

At this time, Shen Qingqian just brought a plate of hot pot dishes to their table. Gao Xiuwen couldn't help but ask, "Qingqian, are you working in this hot pot restaurant?"

"Yes, you are welcome to visit our store often."

Shen Qingqian spoke in a polite and formal tone, obviously treating Gao Xiuwen as just an ordinary customer.

Shen Qingqian said something to Gao Xiuwen, then went to serve food to other tables. A man sitting next to Gao Xiuwen asked, "Xiuwen, do you know the owner of this restaurant?"

Gao Xiuwen coughed twice and said, "Oh, we are from the same village."

The man was a little surprised and said, "Really? These sisters in your village are really talented. They can make such delicious food!

Look at this hot pot restaurant, it has only been open for a dozen days and the business is already so good, I'm sure it will be even better in the future!"

Gao Xiuwen was stunned and asked, "Gu Qi, are you saying that this hot pot restaurant was opened by the girl and her sisters?"

Gu Qi said: "It should be, my father brought me here once, and that's what he said.

Aren't you from the same village? How could you not know?"

Gao Xiuwen shook his head and said nothing more, but he was shocked in his heart.

After a while, Shen Qingqian brought a plate of chopped mutton to Gao Xiuwen and his friends' table.

Gao Xiuwen couldn't help but ask, "Qingqian, is this hot pot restaurant owned by you?"

Shen Qingqian said: "No, this store is opened by my eldest sister, and my second brother and I are here to help."

After saying this, without waiting for Gao Xiuwen's reaction, he went back to work.

Although the hot pot was delicious, Gao Xiuwen had no appetite. He would secretly glance at Shen Qingqian from time to time.

He discovered that when Shen Qingqian collected money, she didn't use an abacus at all, she just calculated it mentally.

In addition, Shen Qingqian spoke to the guests in a graceful and polite manner without being servile, which was very decent.

Did Shen Qingqian change, or did he never understand her? Did he miss something?

When Gao Xiuwen finished his meal and walked out of the hot pot restaurant, he was still in a daze, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Shen Qingqian doesn't care what Gao Xiuwen thinks. No matter who it is, as long as they can come to the store to consume, she will warmly welcome them!

Two days later, in the afternoon, after they finished their work at the hot pot restaurant, Liangzi said he wanted to eat candied haws, so Shen Qinglan took him out to buy some.

Ah Fu is preparing ingredients for dinner in the kitchen.

Shen Qingfeng said he was going out for a while, although he didn't say what he was going to do, but Shen Qingqian knew that Shen Qingfeng was going to find out about Shen Qingping's situation again.

After visiting Qiao's house that day and night without any results, neither of them dared to go there again and could only ask around.

Shen Qingfeng often goes out these days, but for some reason, there is no news about Shen Qingping.

As soon as Shen Qingfeng left, a horse carriage stopped at the door of the hot pot restaurant.

When Shen Qingqian walked out, she saw Zhou Susu getting off the carriage, followed by Zhou Hongqian and his wife.

When Shen Qingqian saw them coming, she smiled and quickly welcomed them in.

There are no customers in the hot pot restaurant at this moment, so it is quite quiet.

Just as they sat down, two coachmen came in carrying things.

One of them was holding some pieces of cloth, and the other was holding some small boxes.

The two of them put their things on two tables and went out.

"This is……?"

Shen Qingqian pretended to be confused and pointed at those things and asked.

Zhou Susu said, "Miss, it was really thanks to you that day that I saved Lan'er. These gifts are my token of gratitude. Please accept them."

Of course Shen Qingqian declined and said, "Madam, I happened to see Lan'er in trouble that day, and saving her was just a piece of cake, you don't have to take it too seriously.

It's so kind of you to send so many things here today. How can I accept them?"

Madam Zhou, Zhou Susu's mother, said, "Girl, compared to you saving Lan'er, these things are nothing.

That day was my master's birthday, and they came specially to celebrate the old man's birthday. If anything happened to Lan'er, we two old people would never be at peace for the rest of our lives. You helped a lot!"

Shen Qingqian said modestly: "Lan'er is a lucky person. Thanks to God's blessing, she escaped unharmed. I also did my best. You are really flattering me by saying this."

Shen Qingqian's words satisfied everyone in the Zhou family. They didn't expect Shen Qingqian, who came from a farming family, to be so humble and polite!

Zhou Hongqian said: "Your name is Shen Qingqian, right? Miss Shen is very talented, courageous, and knowledgeable. She is really an amazing woman!

Because Master Yichen had a misunderstanding about you before, I missed a good student. I wonder if Miss Shen is still willing to take me as her teacher?"

Shen Qingqian smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "It is of course my dream to be your student, but I am running this shop now and I don't have time to study every day!"

Zhou Hongqian said: "Even if you become my student, you don't have to go to me every day.

Once Susu and her daughter leave, there will only be my wife and I at home. You can come every three to five days. While visiting me, an old man, I will also teach you to read more books. How do you think?"

Shen Qingqian understood that Master Zhou accepted students not only for the purpose of teaching, but the main reason was to have a younger generation by his side.

But no matter what the reason is, it is naturally good to be a student of Master Zhou.

First, no matter where you are or what dynasty you are in, learning more and enriching yourself will only bring you benefits, not harm.

Secondly, with a teacher, if she has any creative ideas in the future, she can say that they were taught by the teacher, and no one will doubt her.

So Shen Qingqian agreed without hesitation.

After seeing the Zhou family off, Shen Qingqian took a look at those things.

There were six pieces of cloth and six exquisite small boxes in total.

The fabrics are all of the finest quality, and you can tell at a glance.

Shen Qingqian opened the boxes and found a ginseng root in the first box. It was as thick as two thumbs and was well preserved.

This is a good thing, it can save lives at critical moments!

When I opened the second box, there was a jade bracelet inside. It was emerald green all over and had a bright color. It was very beautiful.

The third box contained a set of fine head ornaments, which were obviously worth a lot of money.
