Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Xiao Lan touched her purse and said, "Let me see your corn."

Upon hearing this, the man quickly untied his sack to let her see. Xiao Lan held the corn in her hand, looked at it carefully, and found that the corn was well dried and could be used as seeds, so she threw it away, took out silver from her purse, and said, "Here is ten taels of silver, I will buy all your bag of corn."

Zhang was very puzzled by her daughter's behavior, but she had no objection to her daughter's generous purchase of a bag of corn. After all, the family business was earned by the girl. Her vision was naturally not comparable.

But when Xiao Liang saw Xiao Lan take out ten taels of silver, his eyes widened in surprise. It seemed that his cousin was very powerful and could use the money at home at will without the consent of the parents.

Since the other person's mother didn't try to stop it, he had no right to stop it.

Xiao Lan winked at Zhang, meaning that it was not appropriate to say more about this matter now, and they could talk about it after returning home.

Xiao Lan was right. If her family could grow corn and prove that it was high-yielding, then her father's job as an official would be more secure. After all, agricultural officials are supposed to focus on food production.

If the planting is successful, in addition to using some for personal use, you can also sell part of it at a lower price, and it will surely be very popular.

Hejian County is rich in cotton, and accordingly, the price of cotton cloth is cheaper than that in Taihe Town.

When the mother and daughter looked at the batches of coarse, fine or printed cotton cloth, they could not resist the woman's desire to shop.

The goods had to be compared from three different shops. After visiting several cloth shops, the mother and daughter picked out five pieces of coarse cloth, five pieces of natural cloth, and then three pieces of blue cloth, three pieces of bright red cloth, and three pieces of various colored cloth. All these cloths were calculated to be nearly one hundred yuan cheaper than those in Taihe Town.

As they walked, the mother and daughter planned what clothes, shoes, mattresses, and quilts they would make with the cloth. It was almost noon when they arrived at the Peace Inn where Lu Wu was staying.

At this time, Lu Wu was waiting for them in the lobby of the inn. The reason was simple: the guys who delivered the cotton had arrived.

Lu Wu helped Zhang and Xiao Lan weigh their bodies. He borrowed the scale from the inn's accountant. This was a very common thing in the inn. When Lu Wu came back with the scale, he was accompanied by a grown girl.

"This is the shop owner's eldest daughter, Miss Wang San." Lu Wu introduced to Zhang.

Miss Wang San was a stout woman with an ordinary face. Although she looked ordinary, she was very eloquent. She behaved generously without any shyness of a child.

"Aunt Sheng," Miss Wang San called Zhang like this as soon as she opened her mouth, and invited Zhang to sit down and drink tea and eat snacks, and also helped to check the goods.

At this time, the guy who delivered the cloth also arrived.

"I know the owners of these two shops, and they know me too. As long as you stay at our inn and want to buy their goods, I will definitely give you the best goods and the lowest price. This is not the first time Brother Lu has come here, and he knows all the rules here. Aunt San, don't worry, if you have any questions about this stuff, just come to me and I will take care of it for you." Miss Wang San said.

After checking the goods one by one, Xiao Lan settled the remaining payment with the delivery guys. Zhang asked when Lu Wu would return and how they would take the goods with them.

These things were not too much, and their family's carriage was enough to take them back. After the discussion, Xiao Lan saw that it was already noon, so she said that she would not go back to the county government office for dinner, but would find a restaurant outside and invite Lu Wu to have dinner together.

Zhang naturally agreed.

"Why bother going out to eat? Just eat in my restaurant. I can cook all kinds of dishes in my restaurant." Miss Wang San said to let them eat in the inn.

"The food here is good, no worse than the big restaurants outside. It's also clean and affordable." Lu Wu said.

Since Lu Wu said so, Zhang and her daughter naturally nodded in agreement.

Miss Wang San specially cleared out a single room and invited them to sit in.

"Mom, since we are eating outside, we have to send someone back to the county government to deliver a message to tell them that we are not going back to eat." Xiao Lan reminded.

"Yes." Zhang nodded repeatedly and sent a waiter from the inn back to the county government to deliver the letter.

"Brother Xiaowu, you have been to Hejian County many times. You know what delicious food there is here. Please help order a few dishes and pick the good ones." Xiaolan asked Lu Wu to order the food.

So everyone pushed around and ordered the dishes, and asked Miss Wang San to consider and serve a few special dishes.

The kitchen of this inn is very efficient in cooking. Just a moment after the order was placed, the dishes were served one by one. Miss Wang San followed the waiter and greeted the waiters back and forth.

The specialty of Hejian County is donkey meat, and donkey meat hot bread is a must-eat for people who come to Hejian County. Heping Inn can also make donkey meat hot bread, but the donkey meat hot bread served on the table is from a time-honored store in Hejian County, and a large bowl of donkey meat is also served.

On the way here, Xiao Lan heard the car in the convoy say, "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground." This sentence means just what it says on the surface, that is, dragon meat is the most delicious among things flying in the sky, and donkey meat is the most delicious among things running on the ground.

Xiao Lan enjoyed the meal very much. The donkey meat made by this old-fashioned restaurant was well-deserved. After finishing the delicious meal and paying the bill, they said goodbye to Lu Wu, walked out of the inn, and strolled all the way to the county government office.

While having dinner just now, Zhang asked Lu Wu about this Third Miss Wang. Every time the Lu family came to Hejian County, they stayed in this inn, so they knew a lot about the Wang family.

The Wang family's Peace Inn was the property of their ancestors. In this generation, it was in the hands of Miss Wang's father. This is the fifth generation. Miss Wang's father is also in his sixties this year. He has been very successful. After the property of his ancestors was passed on to him, all he needed to do was to keep it. He married the eldest daughter of a grocery store, who was also a capable person. However, there was only one regret in his life. That is, the couple gave birth to three children in a row, but did not give birth to a son.

The eldest daughter of the grocery store was also a woman with her own ideas. As she was getting older and could no longer have children, she gritted her teeth and refused to agree to her old man taking a concubine. Instead, she raised her youngest daughter as a son. This was Miss Wang San.
