The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

"Miss Jiang, I didn't expect that your restaurant shop would actually open. We will have a great time in the future." The speaker was a regular customer of the tavern, Wang Laoqi, a skinny porter at the ferry who often chatted with Jiang Muxia.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your honor. Please come in." Jiang Muxia walked back and forth in the lobby greeting guests.

It was time for dinner and the tavern was closed. Fuzi had already moved the wine from the tavern over. The porters, who had been working hard for half a day, had a glass of wine after dinner, which was comfortable and refreshing.

The restaurant was packed in an instant and there was no room left in the lobby.

Jiang Muxia made a prompt decision, "Dear uncles and aunts, there are still vacancies on the second floor. Please go upstairs if you need any."

Both staple dishes cost five cents each, and a glass of wine cost two cents.

During the entire lunch time, there was no one at the restaurant and those who came late did not get any food.

When Wang Laoqi left, he gave Jiang Muxia some advice, "Miss Jiang, I have another suggestion."

Jiang Muxia smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, please feel free to ask. We will accept it with an open mind."

"We all do hard work. One portion of rice is too little, and two portions are too much. We brothers discussed it and decided that if you add steamed buns or pancakes, we will buy one or two, which will be just right." Wang Laoqi said with a smile.

"Okay, we will arrange it as soon as possible. Your suggestions are really helpful to us."

"Let's help each other. Also, why is it so warm in the shop?" Wang Laoqi asked puzzledly.

"Uncle Wang, if you want to make your home warmer, just go to Guan's blacksmith shop and buy a stove. Their stove has a fire wall, and as long as the fire doesn't go out, the house will be the same as our shop." Jiang Muxia wanted to help Guan Tiexin and get him more business so that his family could live a better life.

"Oh, I see." His eyes drifted to the large pots placed in the hall. There was a stove underneath. "I'll go there after work. It's too cold at home. I can't sleep well at night."

As word of the stove business spreads, Uncle Guan and his two children will have a much better life this winter.

Because it was warm in the shop, some people did not leave after dinner and chatted during the lunch break.

Li Jiyi and Lu Chaoyun have already started to clean up, and the previous day's opening hours have ended.

In order to save money, the porters working at the ferry would eat at home in the morning and evening, and the shop could only do business at lunch.

Jiang Muxia sat at the counter and started to count the bill.

Her fingers moved the abacus smoothly, and in a short while, she calculated that the net profit for the day was six hundred and ten coins.

This amount is not much, it is the first money she earned with her own hands in this life.

But for Sihai Restaurant, it is a good start, and the food variety in the restaurant needs to be improved.

Too little was made today and many people didn't get any to eat. She made up her mind to double the amount of rice and flour starting tomorrow, and steam some more buns and meat patties.

Things will get better and better.

As a result, there will not be enough manpower.

She thought of Jiang Yuzhou. Her father was very strong, so she felt completely at ease leaving the steaming of noodles to him and her mother.

But he was now busy building a firewall for the shop at the ferry and had no time to spare.

Judging from the work he has taken on, he might not be able to finish it even before the Chinese New Year.

I had no choice but to arrange for Li Jiyi to help my mother. Fortunately, it only took one morning, otherwise, everyone would be exhausted.

After the diners left one by one, Xu Da and Tang Zhongbai slowly walked out from the backyard.

"It looks like business is good." Tang Zhongbai smiled as he came to the counter and deliberately asked her, "Even our food is gone."

Jiang Muxia apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm too busy today and can't entertain you well. Wait a moment, I'll do it right away."

As soon as she stood up, Tang Zhongbai pushed her down on the seat, "No need, Li Jiyi and Sister Fenfang are already doing it."

"Thank you so much today. With your help, my small restaurant will be very peaceful in the future." Jiang Muxia was sincerely grateful to them.

The bloody reality in her previous life had made her realize clearly how important it was to have a backer.

Tang Zhongbai looked at her and said seriously, "There's no need to be polite between you and me."

Jiang Muxia avoided his gaze, nodded, and said no more.

No one spoke in the lobby and it became quiet.

Jiang Muxia suddenly thought of the wine issue and looked up at Xu Da, "Brother Xu, how about I buy wine from you from now on, and we'll split the bill 50-50."

Xu Da replied readily, "Just let Xu Cheng know about the wine and he will arrange for someone to deliver it to your door."

Xu Cheng, it turns out that the shopkeeper’s full name was Xu Cheng.

It seems that he is also from the same clan as Xu Da.

After lunch, Li Jiyi went to the market to buy things for tomorrow's needs.

Xu Da took Fu Zi and went somewhere unknown, and they disappeared early in the morning.

Only Tang Zhongbai was still sitting at the table, with no intention of leaving.

"Tang Juecao, are you free? Why don't you go to the yamen?" Jiang Muxia was very curious about this person. As an official, he stayed here for half a day every day. The security in Suanzao County was really good.

"It's warm here. If there is any problem in the government office, Tang Si will come to help." Tang Zhongbai seemed not to understand her implication.

"Okay." Jiang Muxia left the counter and said, "You stay warm here, we're going home."

Tang Zhongbai was stunned and didn't understand what she meant. She lived in the backyard, but judging from her posture, she seemed to be walking out.

"Are you going back to the village?" That didn't make sense. She wouldn't be able to get back early tomorrow morning, right?

"No." Jiang Muxia took her brother's hand and said, "There's no room here, so I rented a yard outside."

In fact, she asked Xu Da to buy a two-courtyard house in the south of the city not far from the ferry, which cost her 130 taels of silver.

At first, she didn't think about buying a house or land in the county. She still liked the quiet life in the village.

The night before yesterday, after listening to Lu Chaoyun talk about how badly Jiang Lingye treated them, she decided to make plans early. Even if she couldn't separate for the time being, she didn't want to go back to the "home" that suffocated her.

The only thing she missed was her grandmother. She knew Qi's character. As long as Jiang Lingye was still alive, she would never leave that home.

"Oh, where did you rent a house?" Tang Zhongbai looked expectant. "My rented house is in the south of the city, not far from here."

Jiang Muxia's heart skipped a beat, and she was determined not to get too close to the house he rented.

"The county town is so big, they must not be together." She was afraid that he would follow her, "Let's go first."

Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Tang Zhongbai smiled bitterly, wondering how much she didn't trust him.

Since everyone had left, it was inconvenient for him to stay.

He followed Jiang's mother and the others slowly from a distance. He was thinking about other things and just followed behind them.

When he came to his senses, he found himself at the door of his home.

"Mom, look, that older brother also lives here." A clear child's voice came.

Tang Zhongbai turned his head and found the mother and daughter of the Jiang family standing at the door next to his house.

He couldn't help but laugh. What a coincidence?
