"What do you say? If you don't do it, I promise to beat the shit out of you. If you do a good job, I'll provide lunch." As soon as Zhao Shiying said this, Brother Qiang and the others immediately became excited. If they provided lunch, that was easy to deal with.

"I will definitely get it done. You said so. Meals are provided." Brother Qiang immediately smiled. Fearing that Zhao Shiying would go back on her word, he quickly took his people and ran out with their things.

"If there is no effect, then you haven't done your job well. You have to get customers to come to this store to buy things. No threats are allowed. You have to make people buy willingly." Zhao Shiying said a lot.

Brother Qiang and others heard it.

It's just that they can't use extraordinary means. Not to mention that Brother Qiang had been planning to do so in the first place, but after hearing what Zhao Shiying said, he repeatedly promised that he wouldn't do it.

"Little sister, do you really provide lunch at noon?" Zhao Shisheng asked.

"Of course, as long as they do a good job. Today is the day when the results are announced. You can go and check them out. Daddy will go back to deliver the goods." Zhao Shiying said.

...........

When Zhao Shisheng, Zhao Shihui and Zhao Guocheng came back from looking at the list, the three of them were so happy that their mouths were almost stretched to their ears.

"Little sister, we passed the exam and now we are Tongsheng," Zhao Shihui said happily.

"Really? That's great! What was your rank?" Zhao Shiying asked.

"Brother is second, and I am eighth." Zhao Shihui is still very satisfied with his current results and ranking. Eight is a lucky number.

"That's great, eldest brother is actually second place, second brother is also good, you all are actually in the top ten." Zhao Shiying said happily.

Let Mrs. Yang have an extra snack at noon, and make more steamed buns and other delicious food.

Wang Mian, Zhao Shimin and others were also very happy. After all, they were now two students, and maybe they would become two scholars or two juren later.

Zhao Guocheng was about to go out afterwards.

Although the business after that was not as much as the first three days, the customer flow was still good, with customers coming in and out, and the shop was never empty.

Brother Qiang and his companions traveled all over the county and really promoted the campaign everywhere.

When he returned to Zhao's grocery store, he brought back a bunch of people.

Many people quickly ran to Zhao’s Grocery Store to buy things.

Some people buy preserved eggs and preserved eggs, which are expensive. In Fumanlou, they cost one or two taels of silver per plate, but here they only cost a few hundred coins per box. One box can make three or four plates, which seems like a good deal.

Zhao Shiying looked at Brother Qiang and saw that he had brought back so many people, and nodded with a smile. Not bad, this young man is teachable!

"Auntie, is this okay now?" Brother Qiang was so tired that his forehead was covered with sweat. It was still a good weather to wear a coat, but his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Okay, we'll continue in the afternoon. You can take a rest in the alley over there, and someone will come to deliver food soon." Zhao Shiying said.

"We're going to continue this afternoon?" Brother Qiang burst into tears.

"Of course, promote it for one day, and then I'll let you do something else tomorrow." Zhao Shiying raised her eyebrows.

Qiangzi nodded thinking about lunch. No matter what, it was good enough to have a meal after a tiring day.

Sure enough, around noon, Mrs. Yang and Old Man Yang came to bring food to the group of people.

A basket of steamed buns, plus a meat dish and a vegetarian dish, the portion is quite large.

Qiangzi and others were stunned when they saw this.

The food is good, so what are we waiting for? A group of people started to grab it crazily.

Old Man Yang and Old Lady Yang put it down and left, neither of them dared to see it off.

Seeing that eating was like a fight, they hurried back to tell Zhao Shiying.

Today's lunch was very sumptuous because there were two more students in the family.

"Do you think your uncle has finished the exam?" Zhao Shimin asked.

"I don't know. We are too far away from the capital and we can't get any news at all." Zhao Shisheng shook his head. He was also very worried about his uncle.

"It's okay. My uncle is such a grown-up and his martial arts are better than ours. You don't have to worry at all." Zhao Shihui said nonchalantly.

A few people just said a few words. After all, there was no news, so that was good news.

After lunch and a short break, I started working again.

Zhao Guocheng came back at this time.

"Hey, Dad, why are you back so soon? Where are the goods?" Zhao Shiying saw Zhao Guocheng as soon as she walked out the door and asked in confusion.

"Nannan, it's bad. Those two suppliers have stopped supplying us. When we asked them the reason, they said someone warned them and they couldn't afford to offend, so they had to cut off the supply." Zhao Guocheng finally got the answer. This was too bullying.

"What?" Zhao Shiying frowned. Could it be Mr. Qian?

Well, if you don’t seek death, you won’t die.

"In that case, then there's no need for us to waste time talking nonsense. Dad, I know who did it, but we'll go to their house after we confirm it." After Zhao Shiying finished speaking, she called Brother Qiang and asked him to find the servants in Qian Yuanwai's mansion to inquire about the matter.

Quarter of an hour later, Brother Qiang came back and told Zhao Shiying what happened.

"My guess was right. It is indeed Mr. Qian. Dad, let's go directly to Mr. Qian's mansion to find him." Zhao Shiying didn't want to beat those rats in the dark every day. It was too dirty. It would be ok to dirty his hands once. If he did this every day, he would not have to eat.

"Why do we want to look for him? To argue? As a wealthy man, he has long been high and mighty. He won't see us even if we go there." Zhao Guocheng frowned and thought.

Before they could leave, something happened outside.

"People have died from your food. You need to give me an explanation. I spent some money to buy food for my mother, but who would have thought that instead of fulfilling my filial duty, I sent her to heaven. Mother, I am an unfilial son. What should I do?" Suddenly, a man cried and howled in front of the door of Zhao's Grocery Store.

The people who were still buying things stopped one after another, and the people around gathered around.

"Second brother, go and invite the most famous doctor in the county." Zhao Shiying said and went out with Zhao Guocheng.

"You said your mother died because she ate food from my house. What did she eat?" Zhao Guocheng asked with a frown, while observing the old man's expression.

"It was a preserved egg. I swallowed it and coughed twice, and then there was no sound. Wuuuuu~~~" The strong man cried loudly.

"Then have you called a doctor?" Zhao Guocheng asked again.

"Why hire a doctor? She's been eaten to death. You have to compensate my mother, or I'll smash your store." The sturdy man seemed to remember something and threatened Zhao Guocheng fiercely.

The people around were talking and pointing.

"My fellow villagers, if it is really a problem with our food, we will definitely take responsibility. But if it is not a problem with our food, then it is blackmail. We can't solve this matter, so let's just report it to the police. If you are free, please help me make that trip. I will be very grateful." After Zhao Guocheng finished speaking, he clasped his fists and bowed to the crowd.

"Why report to the authorities? Someone died from your food and you still think you're right? Just pay me compensation in silver." The sturdy man pointed at Zhao Guocheng's nose and said.
