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

Then, Master Tao nodded to his wife and said, "You are right to worry. That's all."

Mrs. Tao was also very happy and pleased: "Dabao has changed a lot."

The next day, Tao Cheng came to Zaoshu Village with gifts, accompanied by Zhang San and Liu Jiu.

There is still one day of rest today, and Xiao Yan is still at home.

Jiang Ningning and the others did not go to the county today.

Didn't you apologize yesterday? Why did you come here today to apologize and express your gratitude? Naturally, the four Sun family members all shook their heads and refused to accept the gift.

Tao Cheng continued, "These are some treats specially prepared by my mother. Please give them a try, uncle, aunt, and Miss Jiang. They're not anything particularly expensive."

Seeing that these were indeed the items, the four Tians accepted them. However, they still said, "There's really no need to apologize or thank us. It's not your fault. It's the fault of the people below."

"You don't know." Tao Cheng then told them how much money the three managers had taken away from his family.

Jiang Ningning and the other six looked at each other in bewilderment. He was indeed a wealthy man, having so much money stolen and only just discovering it now.

"Even if you don't have to apologize, I really want to thank you. It was timely and basically all the money was recovered. Otherwise, I don't know how much I would have lost." Tao Cheng said.

Jiang Ningning and the others naturally invited Tao Cheng to have lunch.

Tao Cheng also followed Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan to see the house and workshop that their family was building.

Tao Cheng was naturally surprised to hear that the house was used to grow white fungus.

Then, without anyone saying anything, he guessed that it must have been Jiang Ningning's idea again.

After lunch, Tao Cheng went back.

Jiang Ningning pretended to tinker in the fields again, and Xiao Yan naturally went with her.

Uncle Zhou's family has already helped them plant the late rice seedlings. Uncle Zhou's family helped them finish their fields first before working on their own fields.

The twenty acres of paddy fields are not in one place, but distributed in several places.

To do this, you naturally have to take off your shoes and go to the fields.

Xiao Yan accompanied Jiang Ningning to pretend.

After pretending enough, the two of them naturally came back.

After coming back, he was still pretending, either pretending to learn more words from Xiao Yan, or pretending to practice martial arts with Xiao Yan.

There is a set of bows and arrows, as well as wooden swords hanging on the wall of Jiang Ningning's house, all of which were bought by Xiao Yan.

Jiang Ningning would often do horse stance and practice martial arts in the yard. Which villager passing by had not seen it?

Even the scene of Xiao Yan teaching Jiang Ningning to read and practice martial arts was witnessed by many people.

From the initial surprise, everyone has gotten used to it now.

I know that not only Xiao Yan is now proficient in both literature and martial arts, but Jiang Ningning is also proficient in both literature and martial arts.

The four Sun family members no longer care about Jiang Ningning.

Sometimes Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai would find it interesting and would even try to learn a few moves from the side.

While pretending to teach Jiang Ningning martial arts in the courtyard, Xiao Yan said, "Since those people have decided to target our shop, they won't stop easily. They can't do anything on the ice, but there's no guarantee they won't attack from other directions."

Jiang Ningning also knew that although the ice issue had been resolved, the problem was not completely solved.

Manager Yao's cousin and those ice drink sellers in the county are still jealous of their family's business.

Jiang Ningning continued to dance with the wooden sword, saying, "I've already told Shopkeepers Guo and Zhu to be more careful in the future."

Xiao Yan nodded. It's good that my wife knows what's going on.

Sure enough, within a few days, someone attacked their business again.

It was discovered by Shopkeeper Zhu.

It was discovered that a waiter secretly scooped out a bamboo tube and hid the water prepared by the Tian family to promote the solidification of ice jelly, as if he was going to give it to someone.

Shopkeeper Zhu ordered the waiter to be arrested.

The waiter immediately knelt down before the shopkeeper Zhu. When Jiang Ningning and the others arrived, he knelt down before them again and begged for mercy.

"Boss, all the bosses, I know the shop has been good to me. I've worked in many shops before, and yours is the best I've ever been to. I was blinded by greed and money and lost my mind. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Who told you to do this? And how much did you actually get?" This was what Shopkeeper Zhu asked, with a hint of frustration.

Because the shopkeeper Zhu was very optimistic about this waiter, thinking that he was very smart, and even wanted to promote him and make him his assistant. But now, he is completely useless.

Who would dare to stay with such a person?

The waiter, fearing he would be brought before the authorities, hurriedly said, "Manager Liu from Fuxiang Ice Drink Shop wanted to know how our ice jelly is made, so he asked me to steal a bamboo tube so he could study it. He gave me ten taels of silver. I've never seen so much money before. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Jiang Ningning was not surprised that someone in the shop was bribed, as such things happened all the time.

But he didn't say much, just said simply: "Go ahead and tell Manager Liu of Fuxiang Ice Drink Shop that this shop is owned by Xiao Yan, the top scholar in Dengping County this year, and that Xiao Yan has already registered for next month's provincial examination."

Since it had been decided long ago that she would get the money and her husband would get the power, she could naturally use her husband to avoid these troubles.

What's more, in Dengping County, the top scholar is still very popular.

It also means that there is already a certain network of relationships.

Anyone who is not a fool will think twice and will not dare to cause trouble for their shop again.

Furthermore, Manager Liu and his men only dared to do these little tricks in private, which showed that they had no backing at all. The fact that he was the top scholar this year was enough to intimidate these people.

Sure enough, when Manager Liu of Fuxiang Ice Drink Shop learned this, he immediately became a little panicked.

He was afraid that if Xiao Yan passed the imperial examination, he would come after him.

After all, there are only a few Juren in the entire Dengping County, and whether they are dead or alive, their status is very high.

Even if he didn't become an official, his status as a juren alone was almost equal to that of a county magistrate.

Naturally, this waiter could no longer work in Jiang Ningning's shop.

Naturally, other iced drink shops gradually learned about this matter and were naturally frightened. They dared not do anything privately anymore.

However, the cousin of Manager Yao thought that Manager Yao was in trouble because he had falsified accounts and secretly transferred his master's money, and he didn't know that the audit was caused by not selling ice to Jiang Xiao's barbecue shop.

So after Manager Yao got into trouble, seeing that Tao's Ice Shop was still selling ice to Jiang Xiao's BBQ Shop, he just thought it was because the manager had changed.

He originally wanted to give some gifts to the new manager and continue to prevent Tao's Ice Shop from selling ice to Jiang Xiao's shop.

But the waiter told him that the new manager did not accept gifts, and even kicked out those who wanted to give gifts or sneak money in, which was extremely embarrassing.

Naturally, he didn't dare to send any gifts or secretly give any money.

So he also wanted to spend some money to bribe the people in Jiang Xiao's barbecue shop.

However, he didn't want to know how the ice jelly was made, but wanted someone to help him figure out what the secret topping of Jiang Xiao's barbecue shop was.

He also runs a barbecue business.
