The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

"Huh?" Both shopkeepers were stunned, confused by what this meant. How could they still buy ice from Tao's Ice Shop after all this?

But before Jiang Ningning could answer them, the guy who drove the carriage to buy ice came back.

Before the clerk even got off the carriage, he said, "We bought the ice from the next county. Tao's Ice Shop in every town in this county won't sell it to us. From what they said, it seems like Tao's Ice Shop in the county sent someone to tell us not to sell it to Jiang Xiao's shop either."

Jiang Ningning didn't say anything in a hurry. She just worked with the people in the shop to quickly move the ice off the carriage and send it to the back.

Xiao Yan naturally helped as well and carried a large box.

Fortunately, the ice blocks were big enough, so even though a lot of it melted on the road, there was still a lot left.

After moving the ice, Shopkeepers Guo and Zhu both looked at Jiang Ningning again, "Boss Ningning...?"

They all looked like they wanted to know why.

Jiang Ningning smiled and said, "You'll know soon." Then she glanced at her husband.

Xiao Yan understood and went straight upstairs.

On the second floor, near the window, Xu Ji, Xie Jing, Tao Cheng and the four people from the Tian family were having a lively chat.

Xu Ji and Xie Jing also thought the barbecue was delicious, and they were holding barbecue in one hand and ice jelly in the other.

Tao Cheng still wanted to eat, but his stomach was full, so he could only watch helplessly.

After not seeing each other for some time, the four Tian family members naturally noticed that Xu Ji and the others had become stronger.

Xu Ji and the others all laughed and said, "We are also taking martial arts lessons now."

Thanks to this, they are now much healthier and no longer get out of breath after running just a few steps.

"That's great, that's great." The four Tians said happily. Before, these children were just like their little Yan, too weak.

"Hey, Ruoqing!" Tao Cheng hadn't eaten, so he was naturally the first to notice that Xiao Yan came up again.

Xiao Yan walked up to him and said, "Come with me."

"Why am I the only one getting off?" Tao Cheng asked curiously, but he also left his seat.

"Xiao Yan, has something happened?" Tian and the others hurriedly stood up and asked.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom, you guys just sit down."

But the four people of the Tian family were still worried, so they followed them down.

Jiang Ningning wasn't surprised to see the four Tians coming down together. She knew their personalities.

Xu Ji and Xie Jing wanted to come down and take a look, but they thought that if it was some private matter, it would be too rude for them to go down, so they did not go down and continued to eat ice jelly and barbecue by the window.

Not to mention, these two things are so delicious that they probably don’t even need to eat lunch.

After Tao Cheng arrived at the counter, Jiang Ningning introduced him to Shopkeepers Guo and Zhu, saying, "This is the young master of Tao's Ice Shop. Please explain the situation to him briefly."

Shopkeepers Guo and Zhu were both stunned.

The young master of Tao’s Ice Shop?

Isn’t that the son of Mr. Tao, the richest man in this county?

Everyone knows that the ice shop is run by Mr. Tao!

The four Tians were also shocked. They knew that the richest man in the county was named Tao, and that Tao's Ice Shop was owned by Mr. Tao, the richest man in the county.

They also knew that Tao Cheng's surname was Tao and that he was from this county, but there were so many people with the surname Tao that they didn't think of Tao Cheng and Master Tao together...

So... Tao Cheng is actually the son of the richest man in the county?

If this had happened in the past, the four members of the Tian family would have been not only surprised but also at a loss, feeling that the gap was huge.

But now the family has two profitable shops, and an even more profitable business of growing white fungus. Moreover, their Xiao Yan is the top scholar, and they themselves have seen a lot of the world. At this moment, the four Tians did not feel anything except surprise.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Tao Cheng naturally didn't change. He still regarded Tao Cheng as just a classmate and friend of their Xiao Yan, and didn't force Tao Cheng to be the son of the richest man.

Jiang Ningning knew that the four members of the Tian family had changed a lot, so she would not feel uncomfortable even if she knew that Tao Cheng was the son of the richest man in the county. That's why she said it in front of the four members of the Tian family without any hesitation.

Shopkeepers Guo and Zhu reacted quickly. After a moment's shock, they immediately realized what was happening and briefly explained that all Tao's ice shops in the county would not sell ice to Jiang Xiao's shop.

Of course, they didn't mention that they secretly gave money to that guy.

He didn't say which guy said it.

They just said that they found out about it, and omitted everything else.

This is considered an industry practice.

Otherwise, if this matter gets out, if they want to find out something in the future, even if they secretly give them money, they will be afraid to tell them.

Jiang Ningning knew that Shopkeepers Guo and Zhu had deliberately kept quiet about the clerk, and they didn't say anything. This was simply due to their experience in handling matters, and they were extremely sophisticated.

"There is such a thing?!" Tao Cheng was already furious before he finished listening.

This was the first time Jiang Ningning and the others saw Tao Cheng angry.

Judging from his angry look and demeanor, he doesn't seem like a young man who only cares about food.

"No wonder my father has been telling me these past two years that although selling ice can make money, he has never been able to make more money. It turns out that there are some wicked servants who are bullying their master and making my father so mentally exhausted in the past two years!" Tao Cheng was even more furious.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance. Their eyes said, "See, he's not stupid at all. He's actually quite clever."

He usually looks simple and gullible, but when something really happens, his mind works very fast.

"Uncles and aunts, you can come to our house to buy ice in the future. No matter how much you buy, our ice shop will deliver it to your door. I'm really sorry." Tao Cheng hurriedly bowed deeply and apologized to the four people of the Tian family.

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't be too angry." said the four people from the Tian family.

Tao Cheng smiled and said, "I'm not angry. But I have to go back first. Uncles and aunts, I'll take my leave now."

He said something to Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning, and asked Xu Ji and Xie Jing upstairs, and then he hurried away.

Zhang San and Liu Jiu were already waiting at the door on horseback and in a carriage.

Tao Cheng got on the carriage and left.

Instead of going home, I went straight to the ice shop.

"Where's Yao Shouquan? Let him come out to see me!" Tao Cheng shouted as he entered the ice shop.

Zhang San and Liu Jiu, who were following behind, didn't dare to breathe.

Although their young master usually doesn't take care of the family business, he is very clear about which shops there are and who is running them.

When the people in the shop saw their young master coming, they all hurried to call their manager.

Manager Yao was sold to the Tao family when he was young and had been in the Tao family for at least thirty years. Later, Master Tao valued him and let him manage the ice shop.

But he was just a servant after all. No matter how powerful he was outside, when he heard that his master was coming, Manager Yao was naturally scared to death and hurried out to greet him.

But he had just knelt down and was kicked before he could say anything.
