I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Yuan called Wang Gang to go back and rest.

No matter how short of money you are, you have to wait until after the New Year. You still have to go to bed.

The next morning, Jiang Yuan slowly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and put on a robe. As he opened the door with a hand warmer in hand, he saw Wang Gang already waiting outside.

After today and tomorrow, it will be New Year's Eve, and Jiang Yuan has rarely given himself two days off.

"Master, what would you like to eat?" Xiaoqing walked in obediently.

Jiang Yuan slapped his head and took out a fifty-liang silver note from his pocket: "Come, Xiaoqing, it's New Year's Day. The master didn't give you anything on weekdays, so do whatever you want."

"Master, I don't want it. You give me money every month. I have money." Xiaoqing smiled and waved her hand to refuse.

"Stop talking nonsense, take it. If you don't want to buy anything, save it and use it as a dowry in the future." Jiang Yuan smiled as he finished speaking.

Wang Gang and the others have resolved their major life issues, so shouldn’t Xiaoqing also resolve them?

"Xiaoqing, come here, I want to ask you something." Jiang Yuan waved with a smile.

"Master, you say."

Jiang Yuan moved closer and lowered his voice, "Xiaoqing, you've been in Taiping County for quite some time now. Do you have any interest in that young man?"

Xiaoqing's pretty face suddenly turned red: "No, Master, please stop joking with me."

After saying that, Xiaoqing ran away with a red face.

Jiang Yuan shrugged his shoulders. The little girl was just shy. But Xiaoqing was not too old, so she could get married in a year or two.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan glanced at Wang Gang who was standing aside, and suddenly felt a toothache.

"Wang Gang, don't you have anything to do?"

Wang Gang looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion: "Master, no, I'm fine."

Jiang Yuan, frustrated that his friend had failed to live up to his expectations, pulled out another hundred taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Wang Gang's hand: "Go, go, go! Hurry and find Zhang Jiaojiao, hurry up and go!"

After pushing Wang Gang out of the door, Jiang Yuan also walked directly onto the street. The snow-covered scene made Jiang Yuan wrap his clothes tightly.

"What's going on? It didn't snow this heavily last year."

Muttering something, Jiang Yuan walked along the street into a small shop, ordered a bowl of wonton, and after he slowly finished eating it and paid, he walked leisurely on the street.

Ever since I came back from the imperial capital last time, I rushed to the grassland without stopping, and I haven’t really had a good time in Taiping County.

If you look closely, you can see that there are quite a few new shops, and there are also many vendors setting up stalls on the roadside. Even the heavy snow cannot stop people's enthusiasm for shopping.

Jiang Yuan found a hawker and asked for two strings of candied haws, and then picked out a chubby kid from a group of children who were setting off firecrackers.

"Erhu! What are you doing? All you do is play all day. Have you fallen behind in your studies?"

"Master, when did you come back?" Erhu looked at the candied haws in Jiang Yuan's hand and swallowed his saliva unwillingly.

Jiang Yuan slowly bit off a candied haws fruit: "Don't worry about that, don't change the subject, just talk."

"Master, I got first class this year!" Erhu said, raising his head proudly.

Jiang Yuan clapped his hands twice and handed over a string of candied haws: "I ate one of yours last time, so I'm giving it back to you today."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan looked at the children around him who were drooling, shook his head and smiled, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the vendor.

"Give them one string each."

"Oh! Long live the master!"

"Thank you, sir!"

After the group of children ran away happily, Jiang Yuan walked along the street again. Unknowingly, he had arrived at Taiping Restaurant. Jiang Yuan was about to go in to see how the business was, but suddenly he stepped back and turned to look suspiciously at a guy opposite Taiping Restaurant.

"Li Hu? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Yuan wondered, this guy has been refusing to go out unless necessary since he picked up a girl. Why is he out now? It seems he has even set up a small stall.

"Ah, sir, you are here. Come and take a look. This is the best wolfskin hat. Would you like one?" Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly.

Jiang Yuan took a look and found that it was indeed a genuine wolfskin, and it was made quite well.

"Hey, when did you acquire this skill?" Jiang Yuan asked jokingly.

Li Hu waved his hand and said with a grin, "How can I do this? This was made by Mingyue. I came out to help sell it."

Jiang Yuan nodded and squatted next to Li Hu: "How's business? How many have you sold?"

"No, not a single one has been sold. Alas, it's the end of the year now, and those who wanted to buy hats have already bought them." Li Hu said dejectedly.

As he spoke, Li Hu looked at the customers coming in and out of Taiping Restaurant with envy: "It would be great if everyone who came in came to buy a hat from me."

"It's not that serious, is it? Your family is not short of food, and there is no need to rush to make money." Jiang Yuan said comfortingly.

Li Hu turned his head repeatedly: "Sir, this is winter clothes. Who would buy it after winter? The condition will not be good by next year."

Jiang Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "Yeah, that's true, but now everyone has bought what they need, so it's not easy for you to do it."

"But if you listen to me, I guarantee you can make a few hundred taels of silver today."

"Sir, please tell me quickly, what should we do?" Li Hu stared at Jiang Yuan with shining eyes.

Hundreds of taels of silver, my hat is not worth that much money.

Jiang Yuan pointed at the customers coming in and out of Taiping Restaurant and said in a low voice, "Just watch here. When someone comes out after eating, you start shouting, saying that anyone who has eaten at Taiping Restaurant can come and get a free leather jacket..."

"Sir, are you confused? I sell hats," Li Hu corrected him, then added in confusion, "Sir, even if I were selling leather jackets, they'd be given away for free. How would I make money?"

"I told you you're stupid, but you still refuse to admit it." Jiang Yuan slapped him without any hesitation.

"If you say it's free, people will definitely come."

"When they come, tell them you're selling hats, not fur coats."

Li Hu scratched his head speechlessly and said with bared teeth, "Sir, what kind of stupid idea is this? Are you sure you won't get beaten if you do this? Come on, I won't do it!"

"Damn it! I just said you're stupid, and you really are stupid!" Jiang Yuan got angry and slapped him again.

"You're not afraid of anything!"

"If someone wants to hit you, just let him. You are a martial artist after all. How can an ordinary person hurt you?"

Li Hu covered his head in grievance and said, "Sir, it's not right for you to say that. It won't do any good. I'd better just sell my hat honestly."

Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly, "You know shit! When they hit you, you just throw it on the ground. No one wants to get into trouble during Chinese New Year. I'm going to pay you ten or so taels of silver anyway."

"How much money can you make from selling hats? All you're going to make is money from getting beaten up!"
