Only when you travel quickly can you avoid being a stepping stone for the protagonist.

The next day, after dinner, when his parents went out to take care of the fields, Li Xiaoxiao asked his sister to stay at home.

She was going to go to Nanfu to reimburse the IOU immediately to avoid long nights and nightmares, and she also needed money now to start her money-making business.

"Sister, where are you going? Can Tiantian follow you?" The little sister looked at her eagerly. After all, she was too bored staying at home alone.

Li Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

Anyway, there is nothing much to do today, the main thing is to get the IOU, and then go to the town market to see the market situation of the money-making method she is going to do next.

It’s okay to take my little sister for a walk.

"Okay, let's go."

Li Tiantian cheered and took Li Xiaoxiao's hand. Li Xiaoxiao closed the door properly and set off for Nanfu.

Passing by Shen Tianchen's home on the road, I found that his house was closed and no one was there, and it looked like there had been no one since yesterday.

Li Xiaoxiao had the bad premonition he had yesterday again and quickened his pace.

Li Tiantian saw that her sister looked a little unhappy and asked worriedly: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Li Xiaoxiao shook his head and smiled at his sister: "It's okay. Be obedient when you get to Nanfu. Don't leave your sister's side."

"Yeah, I know."

The two of them arrived at Nan Mansion smoothly. Looking at the big house in front of them, Li Xiaoxiao felt a trace of yearning in his heart, and then some dissatisfaction with Shen Tianchen.

Obviously you can do it by yourself, you just need to put down your dignity.

She held her sister with one hand and knocked on the door of Nanfu with the other.

After waiting for a while, the door was opened. Butler Lu stood at the door. Seeing the two little girls, he asked suspiciously: "I wonder what brought you to Nan Mansion?"

Li Xiaoxiao took out the IOU that Shen Tianchen gave her from her arms, handed it to Butler Lu, and explained the purpose of her visit: "Oh, it was Scholar Shen who borrowed five hundred taels of silver from me and told me that the account was kept in Nanfu. "

Butler Lu didn't answer immediately. He just took the IOU and looked at it carefully. He sighed and handed the IOU back to Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat and realized something was not right.

"What...what's wrong?"

"Our Nanfu will not repay Shen Tianchen's debt from now on, and we will not give money to Shen Tianchen in the future. Miss has... given up on him."

Li Xiaoxiao was stunned, and then realized that he had been deceived by Shen Tianchen.

Li Tiantian looked at her sister's appearance, and then after listening to what she just said, she understood that the person named Shen Tianchen was not a good person.

Butler Lu felt a little pity for this girl. She was deceived by that liar Shen Tianchen. He was simply ashamed to be a scholar.

"...I understand, I'm disturbing your house." Li Xiaoxiao was about to leave with her sister, but she still kept the IOU and prepared to settle the accounts with Shen Tianchen.

"Wait a moment."

Nan Qian's voice came from behind Butler Lu, calling Li Xiaoxiao who was about to leave.

Li Xiaoxiao stopped and looked back.

I saw a luxuriously dressed woman approaching with a well-kept fox in her arms. She was not only as beautiful as a fairy, but she could also be said to be pretty.

Perhaps due to his dissatisfaction with Shen Tianchen, Li Xiaoxiao felt that Shen Tianchen had the nerve to reject such a beautiful and rich woman.

Then Shen Tianchen is really blind.

In fact, Li Xiaoxiao originally thought that landlords were all rich bullies with fat faces, fat heads and wide ears, who were always willing to force others, even though she knew that landlord Nan was a woman.

But looking at it now, she is a stereotype.

"Sister, she is a little fox."

Her sister's voice brought her back to reality.

She apologized: "I'm sorry, children are curious when they see small animals."

Nan Qian touched the fox's fur and didn't care: "It's okay."

Ever since this fox met her, she had been clinging to her. Nan Qian had no choice but to take it with her wherever she went, otherwise she would inadvertently catch a glimpse of it following her quietly in the grass.

Very scary.

When Li Xiaoxiao saw Nan Qian like this, he didn't expect Landlord Nan to have anything to do with him, so he could only nodded politely and asked, "I wonder if Landlord Nan has anything to do with him?"

"Stop standing at the door, come in and talk." Nan Qian did not answer, but asked Butler Lu to take sisters Li Xiaoxiao to the hall.

There were some pastries placed in the hall. Li Tiantian was still a child after all. After her sister and Nan Qian agreed, she immediately picked up one and sat aside obediently.

Li Xiaoxiao did not move, but asked Nan Qian's purpose with his eyes.

Nan Qian smiled and said, "Shen Tianchen owed you money? Then he wrote an IOU and asked you to go to Nan Mansion to reimburse him?"

Li Xiaoxiao nodded, feeling extremely dissatisfied with Shen Tianchen.

"Do you want to take this IOU and go to Shen Tianchen to collect the debt?"

Li Xiaoxiao nodded again, wondering what the southern landowner wanted to do.

"You can't get the money, you know that very well, right?"

Li Xiaoxiao frowned and lowered his head, realizing that what she said was indeed true. She passed by Shen Tianchen's house this morning and saw that he was not there. He might not have gone home last night.

And even if he goes home, according to his usual disguise, if he denies borrowing money and IOUs, everyone may believe him.

Damn it, how could this man be so good at pretending? If he hadn't been like this, I wouldn't have believed in his character and lent him the money.

It seems that my plan will be postponed.

"You are asking for money in such a hurry, you must have something important, right? I can help you." Nan Qian suddenly said at this time.

Li Xiaoxiao suddenly raised his head, with confusion on his face, and blurted out: "Why do you want to help me?"

"If it's convenient for you, can you tell me what you plan to use the money for? If it's not convenient for you, there's no need."

Li Xiaoxiao thought for a while and decided to believe Nan Qian.

The main reason is that the thighs take the initiative to come closer! It would be unbearable if you don't give me a hug.

"I discovered an edible plant that can be turned into a seasoning in dishes, and no one has used it yet. I want to add it to dishes to develop new dishes."

Nan Qian pretended to think for a moment, and then asked: "So you are planning to open a restaurant, right?"

Li Xiaoxiao nodded, almost.

She planned to use five hundred taels of silver to rent a shop first and open a smaller restaurant, and then gradually expand it later.

As for the seasoning she was talking about, it was chili pepper.

She discovered that people in this world did not use chili peppers in cooking, and the dishes were not very rich. She was a chef before coming here, and she believed that she could run a restaurant well.

"That's it. If you want to open a restaurant, how do you solve the problem of the source of the key ingredients?"

"I...I have a way." Li Xiaoxiao did not reveal much. It was not that she deliberately concealed it, but that it was difficult to talk about the Lingquan Space.

That's right, just like many female protagonists in farming novels, after Li Xiaoxiao passed through, she found that she had a spiritual spring space. The crops grown in the land were not only of better quality but also grew faster.

Li Xiaoxiao tried it himself, and with the water from the spiritual spring, the peppers would mature in two days.

But there was no way to tell the southern landowner about this.
