The two of them looked away silently.

When the waiter and the shopkeeper Chen saw him coming down, their instinctive reaction was to shout respectfully, "Young Master..." Before they could even shout out "Master", they met the look from Jiang Weinan, and the rest of the word remained in their mouths.

Shopkeeper Chen immediately changed his tone, clenched his fist and asked, "Did Young Master Jiang and his friends enjoy their meal?"

He Hu and Zhang Fei pointed their fans at Chen, and wanted to ask him why he spoke like that today, but Jiang Weinan replied, "Very good, very good."

He Hu and Zhang Fei stared at him and immediately reacted.

When Xie Jiaojiao heard them talking, she picked up her backpack and left.

Jiang Weinan quickly followed: "Xie Jiaojiao..."

But by this time Xie Jiaojiao had already walked out of the restaurant.

He Hu and Zhang Fei smacked their lips, but ultimately did not chase after him and waited for him in the restaurant.

Shopkeeper Chen stood at the door, watching their young master disappear, and said with a sigh: "It's always the young master chasing after Miss Xie!"

He Hu and Zhang Fei immediately surrounded Manager Chen as if they were listening to gossip.

But Shopkeeper Chen had no time to deal with them. He was busy receiving waves of customers coming in and out of the store.

The two men turned their attention to the waiter, who hurriedly threw the handkerchief over his shoulder and said, "Master He, Master Zhang, I am still busy!"

After saying that, he started to clean up the dishes and tables of the departing guests...

Jiang Weinan caught up with Xie Jiaojiao and said angrily: "I called you, why didn't you answer me?"

Xie Jiaojiao found a shady place to stand, took off her straw hat, fanned herself and said, "Master Jiang, it's already past noon, I have to hurry home, and I don't have time to chat with you."

Jiang Weinan then noticed that because it was hot, her forehead and hair were covered in sweat, and there was some on her cheeks as well.

He couldn't help but took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat off Xie Jiaojiao's forehead, asking, "Why are you so late in town today?"

His actions were too natural and a little too intimate, which made Xie Jiaojiao feel a little embarrassed. She quickly reached out and took his handkerchief: "I can do it myself."

Jiang Weinan only realized what he had done at this time, and his face turned red.

"I... I saw that you were too hot, so I couldn't help but wipe it for you, you shouldn't..." I think I am reckless...

Before he finished speaking, Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Don't worry, I didn't think too much. I won't think that you like me just because Young Master Jiang treats me like this!"

Jiang Weinan felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

Xie Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at Jiang Weinan, holding the handkerchief in her hand: "This handkerchief is dirty, I will take it back and wash it for you and then return it to you."

"It's okay, I'll give you a reward." Jiang Weinan felt a little uncomfortable.

Xie Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and wanted to throw the handkerchief away: "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll leave first."

Jiang Weinan didn't say anything. Xie Jiaojiao put on her straw hat again and prepared to leave.

"Um... did you have lunch?"

Xie Jiaojiao had already walked away, and as she walked, she said without looking back: "I'm going home to eat. My mother left some food for me."

Jiang Weinan stood there, looking at Xie Jiaojiao who had already left. He could see the heat wave and felt very hot himself. He murmured, "When did the summer get so hot!"

Xia Tian: ...I am hot...

When we returned to the restaurant, the busiest time had already passed.

He Hu and Zhang Fei immediately surrounded him and started gossiping.

Jiang Weinan ignored them, but found Shopkeeper Chen and asked, "What business did she do with you today?"

"Oh, Miss Xie's family picked some wild mushrooms and brought them to our restaurant to sell. She will send some to our restaurant every day from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Weinan said, "Don't let her send it. It's so hot, don't let her get a heat stroke. Send someone to her house early every day to pick it up!"

"Ah? This..."

"how?"

Shopkeeper Chen nodded immediately: "Okay, young master."

Jiang Weinan was satisfied and let his two friends take him away.

As soon as they left, Shopkeeper Chen pulled the waiter and said, "See, it's still our young master who cares about our future young mistress."

The waiter nodded: "Yes, but if I could find a wife, I would be in pain too!"

Shopkeeper Chen patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "You kid will definitely be able to find a wife." Then he went on to get busy.

Xie Jiaojiao walked home in the shade all the way. On the way, she picked a large leaf of unknown origin and used it to fan herself.

It was the time when the sun was at its highest, but fortunately Sun Ruhua brought her a bamboo tube of water.

Because it was too hot, Xie Jiaojiao walked and stopped along the way. Finally, she got home with her hair wet with sweat.

As soon as she got home, Sun Ruhua quickly heated up the meal for her.

"Mom, don't heat it up. Let it cool down so I can eat it more comfortably."

As Xie Jiaojiao spoke, she picked up the rice on the table and started drinking.

After dinner, Xie Jiaojiao said to Sun Ruhua, "Mom, go tell the people in our village that we collect wild mushrooms from the mountains, and they sell for two cents per pound."

"Do you collect everyone's?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "All of them! Shopkeeper Chen wants one basket every day, and we'll use the rest to dry and sell them later!"

"Will this work? The wild mushrooms on the mountain are free of charge. If we collect them, there will be a lot every day!"

Xie Jiaojiao put the bowl away: "Don't worry! It will definitely work, just listen to me! But we have to make it clear that we only take porcini mushrooms, nothing else, in case someone comes and fools us with poisonous ones!"

Sun Ruhua nodded, thinking to herself that she would have to keep a close eye on it when the time comes to collect it: "Okay, then I'll go tell the villagers now."

Xie Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "Mom, if this doesn't happen, you should tell the village chief and let him notify him."

After listening to what Xie Jiaojiao said, Sun Ruhua immediately understood what Xie Jiaojiao meant. It would be much better for the village chief to notify everyone than for them to notify everyone. If the village chief notified everyone, they would have to consider the village chief's face if they wanted to do anything to the wild mushrooms.

"My daughter is really smart. I will go there now."

Xie Jiaojiao held her back: "Mom, when the time comes, you can tell the village chief this..."

Seeing Sun Ruhua leave, Xie Jiaojiao took the two bowls to the kitchen to wash them.

Chen Shouren was very efficient. As soon as Sun Ruhua told him, he quickly notified everyone. However, when he gathered everyone together, he repeated what Sun Ruhua said: "Miss Xie collected these wild mushrooms to find a way for everyone to make money. If someone messes with it and cuts off everyone's livelihood, I will drive their entire family out of the village! And since I am the one who said this, I hope everyone will do their job well and not fight or rob in the mountains. It all depends on your ability!"

Everyone didn't believe it at first, but when Tian Hu brought a basket of porcini mushrooms to Xie's house, and came out with the basket empty, but with copper coins in their hands, everyone couldn't bear it anymore and went up the mountain with the baskets, in waves.
