An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"Okay, Uncle Qi, you guys can get busy! It's best to weigh the goods that have been delivered.

I'll take Xiao Man and the others to order food, and you should take Brother Cheng Zhi with you. Dinner will still be at the usual place, and I'll let you guys have a feast tonight."

Jing Chunxi stood at the bow, his clear voice drifting on the breeze, reaching the ears of the guards on the deck. Upon hearing Jing Chunxi's words, their originally somewhat weary expressions instantly became lively, as if they had been injected with new energy.

A brave guard came forward with a simple smile on his face and said, "Thank you, Miss. We can eat the whole pig. Don't be stingy with your money. Just give some sugar-coated cakes to Tangsuan and Xiaoman. We don't need a big ship to load the tiles and rubble."

His voice was loud and clear, with a hint of teasing, yet also revealing a desire for delicious food. When the people around heard this, they immediately burst into laughter. This description was too apt. The laughter echoed on the river, breaking the tranquil atmosphere.

The guards echoed each other. Xiao Man, following behind Jing Chunxi, didn't get angry when she heard this. Instead, she grinned, revealing two small canine teeth. Sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes were indeed his favorite. Hearing people talk about them, they would think of that sweet and soft delicacy.

"Oh! Don't worry! I know how much you eat, so tonight, apart from the wine, you can eat as much as you want.

We still have a few days on the boat, so I'll have them carry all the wild goods in the shop aboard so you can all go back well-fed and plump, so that Master won't accuse me of mistreating you."

Jing Chunxi responded with a smile. These guards had followed him through thick and thin, and had accomplished a great task with Xu Zize. They had indeed worked hard, so it was only right that they should be well fed and well-dressed.

As soon as she finished speaking, the guards burst into laughter again, and the scene was extremely joyful.

Jing Chunxi himself was laughing, his thoughts drifting back to the past three days. All that was left on the boat were dried fish, bacon, and other dry goods. The radishes and cabbages were wilted, and no one had any appetite. Fortunately, they'd caught a lot of fresh fish later, otherwise, eating so much dried food would have given them a sore throat and blisters.

Speaking of food, even before getting off the boat, people are already craving it, and she is no exception.

After Ah Qi and Chong San took their people away, Jing Chunxi and Xiao Man got off the boat and walked up. Qiyue and Jiuyue also appeared and walked behind them, still about seven or eight steps away from them.

As Xiao Man walked, she glanced at Jing Chunxi with anticipation in her eyes. "Miss, last time I talked to the owner of the wild goods store, he said that they have a lot of wild game and dried goods in their warehouse every year. How about we take them all? Where in Beijing can you find such good and cheap things?"

Even on Daqing Mountain, the soldiers didn't catch any large prey. Whether they bring it back for their own consumption or trade, they won't lose money. When we get to Xunyang City, won't the young lady give some gifts to Master Liu and Ah Heng's family?

Also, if I get back early, can I meet the proprietress of Gantang Town again? Her cooking is really delicious."

It was the first time Xiao Man spoke so much, and it was all about a bite of food. It was really rare. Jing Chunxi found it funny and couldn't help but teasing: "For a little food, your mouth is now talking."

Xiaoman touched his head, with an embarrassed smile on his face, but he was still confident and laughed happily: "That's right! Besides, I'm not eating for myself, everyone has a share. Haha!" His voice was crisp, with a hint of childishness, but it revealed a seriousness.

Since Xiaoman didn't mention Mr. Liu, Jing Chunxi forgot that the porcelain sales contract had not yet been signed.

Now we have sweet potato flour and dried bamboo shoots, and we've signed a tea trading contract in Jian'an City. With the guidance of the King of Yan, my third uncle should have opened up the sea transportation channel. How can sea transportation be without the trade of porcelain?

Thinking of this, Jing Chunxi came to a conclusion. It seemed that he would have to stay in Xunyang City for another day. He thought that Xunyang City should have completely restored order. Once Liu Guangfa Trading Company reopened, it would not be too difficult to find the owner, Mr. Liu. He would no longer have to go to the village to look for him.

"Xiao Man, you and July will be responsible for dealing with the owner of the wild goods store later. Collect all his dry goods and live animals. Except for the wild game that will be sent to the restaurant for cooking in the next two days, let them slaughter the rest the day after tomorrow afternoon and send them on board in the evening." Jing Chunxi said in a firm tone, with a hint of decisiveness in his eyes.

When Xiao Man heard that the young lady had actually agreed, he immediately jumped up excitedly, took a few steps back and moved closer to Qi Yue, even whispering in her ear, wanting to say something. However, Qi Yue looked disgusted and pushed him away with one hand: "How childish!"

July's voice was cold, with a hint of impatience, but there was a glint of fondness in her eyes.

Jing Chunxi continued, "Jiuyue and I will go order food first. We need to ask the boss lady to make some more brown sugar cakes and fern root cakes for the next two days, otherwise you will starve on the way. I'll also bring a basket for Ah Heng and Ah Yue. Xiaoman likes it, and I'm sure the two little ones will like it too."

When Xiao Man heard this, her eyes widened and her face was full of surprise: "Wow! That's great! Miss, you are so kind. You are so kind to me and Sister Tang Shuang. I would also like to thank you on behalf of Ah Heng and Ah Yue."

He excitedly hugged Qiyue, but was immediately pushed back by her. This time, she wasn't just disgusted, but fiercely resentful: "Everyone's food has been eaten up by you two hungry ghosts! Besides, it's not your turn to take the initiative to protect the kindness that the young lady gave to Ah Heng and the others."

There was a hint of complaint in July's voice, but her eyes were full of smiles, and there was also a hint of disappointment in her.

Xiao Man didn't care either, she just grinned, revealing two small canine teeth: "Haha!"
