Li Sicong said earnestly: "Father, I run the restaurant not to make money, but just to find a way to make some money from the Zhu and He families."

"You have seen the business of the restaurant today. I believe I still have the ability to do this."

Linzhou is located in a remote area, and ordinary people have low spending power. Apart from the Li family, the two major local families, Zhu and He, are considered wealthy.

Li Kan, the prefect of Linzhou, was not a native of Linzhou. Although the Zhu and He families, as local tyrants, respected the Li family on the surface, they often made small moves behind the scenes.

Li Kan praised: "This is a great move! Your brother is so ignorant, I must talk to him when I get back!"

Seeing that the table was empty, he felt a hint of anger on his face. He was just about to ask his butler to ask the guards at the city gate to let the people delivering food to Fengdeng Restaurant pass, when he heard Li Sicong continue.

"I earned this money to support the family and to honor my father, to make up for the fact that I was not able to show my filial piety to him because of my stupidity over the years."

"Besides, my brother needs a large sum of money to suppress the bandits. The cholera of Linzhou has been going on for a hundred years. It will take at least a year or two to gnaw on this tough bone of bandits."

"My younger brother has been taking care of the household affairs for me since he came of age. It's quite hard work. It's only natural for me to earn money for him now."

Jiang Lili, who was eavesdropping, sighed. Li Xiaoguan had put down his younger brother in just a few words, and then mentioned subtly that as the eldest son, he should be in charge. Xiaoguan's EQ was indeed high.

Li Sicong continued to be considerate of his father: "Besides, my shop is also short of manpower. I can provide more work for the people of Linzhou to supplement their family income. The people's lives will be better, and your father will have fewer worries."

Jiang Lili: Well, this guy’s cakes are more delicious than the last!

Li Sicong's words really touched Li Kan's heart. Li Kan was relieved and excited. He didn't expect that his eldest son would think of this.

The more he listened, the more he felt that he was really lucky. This silly son turned out to be so smart after being enlightened!

Letting Cong'er run the shop is a win-win situation.

If the second brother goes to suppress the bandits, not only will it cost money and manpower, but the bandits are so rampant that it is not certain to win. Moreover, rabbits will bite when they are cornered! Not to mention the bandits!

Li Kan slammed the table and said, "What a bastard what Lao Er did!"

Li Sicong seemed to be persuading him but in fact he was fanning the flames: "Father, please don't blame my brother, he is still a child!"

"A child? He's already 22 and still a child?! Besides, he's been in charge of the family for two years, but he's still so confused!"

Li Kan turned around angrily and ordered the housekeeper beside him: "Hurry up and send someone to tell me that the guards guarding the city must not block the normal passage of the people entering the city."

"Also, remove all of Lao Er's cronies at the city gate. They are always causing trouble and causing trouble! Stop recruiting soldiers and suppressing bandits!"

After giving all the instructions, Li Kan instructed Li Sicong on some affairs in the mansion and gave some of the power in the hands of the Second Master Li to Li Sicong.

By the time Li Sicong had time to say hello to Jiang Lili and Guan Yue, he had already resolved the issues of the bandit suppression order and the city gate guards.

Jiang Lili and Guan Yue were full of admiration!

Jiang Lili only regretted that she majored in English before traveling through time. Traveling through time to ancient times, especially to a dynasty that did not exist in history, was completely useless!

Jiang Lili was born in a remote fishing village. She was an orphan and grew up relying on the help of her fellow villagers.

In order to repay her student loan, she started working part-time after taking the college entrance examination. She couldn't even remember how many jobs she had had. She was a breeder at a pig farm, a teacher at a daycare center... The jobs were so diverse that she knew a little bit of everything, but was not proficient in anything. She looked at Li Sicong with envy.

"Li Xiaoguan, you are too strong. You can kill anyone from ancient times to the present!"

"We are both time travelers, why is there such a big gap between you and me?"

Li Sicong was flattered by the praise and explained cheerfully: "That's because I have been a fool since I was a child. Now I am a little smarter. The contrast is huge, and it has shocked Li Zhifu enough."

"I have to hurry and gain more benefits for myself while he is dizzy because of me."

After saying this, Li Sicong glanced at the dark sky outside the window and said, "It's getting late. You don't have a place to rest yet, right? I'll arrange an inn for you to stay in after dinner."

Jiang Lili: "After we entered the city, we had already requested three rooms at Lai Fu Inn, and the horses were also tied up at Lai Fu Inn."

"Laifu Inn is the Li family's inn. I'll have someone upgrade your rooms."

After Jiang Lili and her group finished their meal, Li Sicong instructed someone to upgrade their rooms and asked the servants to take good care of their horses.

Both man and horse were well rested that night.

The next morning, Jiang Lili and her group got up early and went out to attend the market.

Jiang Lili saw Jiayu yawning and looking troubled. "Did Jiayu not sleep well last night?"

Jiang Lili asked casually, but it made Jiayu cautious. He nodded: "Yes, I'm not used to sleeping in a different place."

Jiang Lili: "Oh? Is it because Yueyue and I shared a room last night and you are not used to sleeping alone?"

"No!!!"

Jiayu and Guan Yue both denied it at the same time.

Guan Yue's ears blushed as she said, "We usually sleep in separate rooms in the village."

Guan Yue nodded quickly.

Jiang Lili raised her eyebrows: "I see, I was just asking casually."

Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Jiang Lili had discovered his meeting with the prince last night.

Although Linzhou City is not very prosperous, the morning market is still quite lively. Jiang Lili bought some soup dumplings for breakfast and also brought some for Zhang Xiaopang along with some candied haws.

She was fed by Zhang Xiaopang every day during her exile, and now it was finally her turn to feed Xiaopang.

After delivering the things, Jiang Lili sent a message to Xiaopang.

【@江麗麗: Are you awake, Xiaopang? I fed you breakfast, remember to eat it while it’s hot @张小胖. 】

Just as she finished speaking, she glanced at the stall selling raw deep-fried fish fillet porridge at the morning market. Business was brisk, and the fish fillets looked very fresh, all caught offline.

Such delicious food must be prepared for her chubby brother.

【@江麗麗: In addition, there is also raw fish slice porridge in the market, which is very delicious, but the fish slices are fresh. If you wake up, poke me and I will make you a whole portion! 】

I didn’t expect that Xiaopang, who always likes to stay in bed, replied to the message so quickly this time.

【@张小胖: Sister Li, I'm awake! No, I didn't sleep at all. I was so anxious with my dad all night. I felt much better after having a hot breakfast. Thank you! 】

Jiang Lili was surprised. What big thing happened? The fat boy and his son didn't sleep all night.
