A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

Zhao Jiaojiao spat lightly, "Relying on her looks, she tries to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, thinking that this will turn her from a chicken into a phoenix. What a dream. A lowly person is a lowly person."

The old woman bowed slightly and echoed Zhao Jiaojiao's words, "Her status is worlds apart from that of the young lady. No matter what powerful people she climbs up to, she can't change her background. Some people are born in the mud, and no matter how tall they grow, they are just weeds."

These words clearly struck a chord with Zhao Jiaojiao. Her lips twitched into a mocking smile, but when she remembered what her father had told her, the smile vanished in an instant.

She and Brother Chu were in the same situation, with a huge gap in their social status.

"That bitch made me lose face at Jinxiuge, and now she's causing trouble at Father's shop. I'm going to teach her a lesson!"

The old woman advised, "Why bother arguing with her, Miss? We're setting off back to the capital tomorrow, why waste time on someone like her?"

Zhao Jiaojiao said angrily, "I won't let this go unpunished until I teach her a lesson."

"You have Ah Da stay in Qinghe County and keep an eye on Guangjuxuan."

The old woman had no choice but to agree, knowing the young lady's temper.

Xishikou, Qinghe County.

The West Market had already closed, and most of the merchants had packed up and left. Only three people were pushing their goods in the cold wind, shivering.

Today it was cold and windy, the wind made their lips turn purple and they couldn't close them. They couldn't help but shiver. The three of them had lost feeling in their legs and their ears were so frozen that they felt like they would fall off if they were touched.

The weather was bad, and not many people came to the West Market. Those who did come were in a hurry to buy household items and had no interest in sitting in the West Market to eat.

The three of them hawked their wares in the cold wind all day, but only sold seven or eight dishes and earned a few dozen coins, which didn't even cover the cost of today's ingredients.

Liu Chunhua and Nie Wenting hung their heads, feeling icy colder than the winter weather.

Before Nie Wenting came, she had thought it through. Her mother's cooking skills were no less than Liu Yan's, and Liu's restaurant was always packed with customers. Their business couldn't possibly be bad.

Although the journey here was arduous, Nie Wenting's heart was burning with excitement as she thought about the endless stream of customers and the countless sums of money that would come after the business opened.

On the way, she happily imagined that when Nie Qianqian and her group arrived at the West Market, they would see that all the customers had come to their Nie Family Restaurant, and she would suppress her anger.

But reality slapped her hard in the face.

The locals didn't care at all about the newly opened Nie Family Restaurant and didn't even go inside.

Nie Wenting retorted, "Are these people's tongues twisted? Mother's cooking is so delicious, there's no reason why Liu's Restaurant can attract so many customers while we have so few people."

Nie Daqiang couldn't carry these tools anymore, and they crashed to the ground. He sat down and sighed, "Wen Ting, is this what you meant by making big money? Today, let alone making money, we've been struggling all day and probably lost quite a bit. This is ridiculous, and you even dragged me into this ridiculous mess!"

Nie Daqiang felt extremely aggrieved. He was the father of a scholar, and it was only because he was misled by Nie Wenting that he followed the two women to the West Market to sell things. He had no skills in this area and was clumsy with words. The passersby were in a hurry to get on their way and ignored him, which made him very angry.

Liu Chunhua felt aggrieved. How come Liu Yan was doing so well, but she couldn't? Was she not as capable as that cowardly woman?

Liu Chunhua retorted, "This is the first day of business, and with this awful weather, what customer would want to eat in the cold wind? They'd just end up with a stomach full of wind. If you ask me, we shouldn't have come today. Liu Yan and the others didn't set up their stalls either."

Nie Wenting rubbed her hands together and blew warm air into them. "Yeah, they didn't sell that well at first, it definitely takes time..."

Nie Wenting didn't dare say that Liu's Restaurant was packed with people on its very first day, and it was an instant success.

She tried hard to recall what she had done on the first day the Liu family restaurant opened, and finally managed to remember something.

"Oh right, I remember now, there was no one at Liu's Restaurant at first. It was that girl Nie Qianqian who started by advertising things like free meals and half-price meals, and then more and more people came."

She slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Yes, we should also offer free meals!"

If Nie Daqiang hadn't been so frozen that his legs and feet were stiff, he would have kicked his clever daughter after hearing what Nie Wenting said.

Although he wasn't good at business, he knew that the company was already operating at a loss, and offering freebies would only lead to even greater losses.

"What's wrong with your brain? Did a donkey kick you?"

"Dad, believe me, I've been observing Liu's Restaurant for several days now. They attract customers using this method, and gradually, word spread among the people, and their business boomed. What's that saying again? You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!"

Liu Chunhua was unwilling to accept that she had been outdone by Liu Yan, so she chimed in, "Qianqian, that little devil, has a lot of ideas. Since she used this method, it means that the method works. Thinking about it, that makes sense. We are a newly opened shop, and the people in this county have never even tried it before. How can they possibly approve of us?"

Nie Daqiang looked at Nie Wenting and Liu Chunhua suspiciously. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He muttered, "Fine, fine, I don't care anymore. Do whatever you want. I'm not coming tomorrow. I'm a scholar, how can I do this kind of hawking work? It's beneath me."

Nie Daqiang also found a place near the West Market where he could leave his stall items, and the three of them walked back to the village empty-handed.

The snow was falling heavily, and walking on the road was a struggle, with each step sinking deep into the snow, often resulting in getting stuck and feeling extremely disheveled.

Liu Chunhua prayed silently that she wouldn't run into Nie Qianqian and her group again on her way back.

Liu Chunhua and the others will not encounter Nie Qianqian and her group, because Nie Qianqian did not go back at all, but stayed at Guangjuxuan.

With the handling of the Guangjuxuan staff concluded, Nie Qianqian and the others sat in a guest room on the third floor.

Liu Yan finally found a suitable opportunity to ask, "Qianqian, what exactly happened?"

Liu Xiong's big eyes were full of doubt. "Qianqian, how come you're the new owner of Guangjuxuan?"

Nie Qianqian poured a cup of tea for each of them and slowly said, "Mother, Uncle, this is what happened. Guangjuxuan is a property of the Zhao family, the richest family in Qinghe County. A few days ago, Madam Zhao had a difficult childbirth. Thanks to Doctor Qian's help, both mother and child were safe."

"Then how do you have this land deed and house deed?"

These land deeds and house deeds are the most valuable, so how could Doctor Qian possibly give them to Nie Qianqian?

"Dr. Qian is a physician from a reclusive family who has devoted his life to studying medicine and regards worldly gold and silver treasures as dirt. After he acquired Guangjuxuan, he had no interest in managing it and originally wanted to sell it, but I stopped him. I spent a lot of effort persuading him, telling him that running Guangjuxuan was like having a golden goose that would place orders, which was far more valuable than selling it all at once."

"Although I haven't known Dr. Qian for long, he values ​​my talent in medicine, takes good care of me, and trusts me. That's why he entrusted me with the land deed and house deed and asked me to manage them on his behalf."

"He had no interest in managing the mundane affairs of Guangjuxuan and left everything to me. From now on, we will split the profits of Guangjuxuan 60/40, with him getting 60% and me getting 40%."
