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

"I was wrong. I didn't control myself tonight. I am responsible for my actions. He wants revenge on me." Jiang Muxia was not afraid.

"Forget it. Now that things have happened, let's face it. I'll handle Miss Feng Er, and you, run the restaurant well. You are Brother Xu's person, and you are also my person. With us standing in front, no one can hurt you." Tang Zhongbai said seriously.

Jiang Muxia was moved. All the people who had treated her well in her past and present lives had either died or lost hope in the world, and left her one by one. During her lifetime, she was the only one facing the wind and rain.

Having no one to rely on and wandering around in the world, she has become accustomed to solving problems on her own.

She was used to it, and whenever someone wanted to help her, she would immediately become wary.

But these two men, one, she helped him, and he gave her a shelter from the wind and rain.

The other one, after only meeting her once, gave her his all.

How could she be so worthy of such a reward? However, she was also worried that this unconditional protection would one day disappear.

Just like Tang Zhongbai’s departure in the previous life?

She didn't dare to gamble, she was afraid.

"Thank you." She stood up and prepared to leave. "It's getting late. You should all go to bed."

She left the house decisively and simply. Judging from her expression when she left, she didn't seem to trust them very much.

"Brother Tang, how could a teenage girl like her have so many worries? After what happened tonight, will you still stand firmly behind her?" Xu Da asked.

"Of course, I will never change the person I choose."

"No matter what she becomes? Is she evil or good?"

"Yes, I firmly believe that she is a kind person. I have never seen her hurt others, and she has always been resisting. Are we going to deprive her of the last bit of right to fight against fate?"

The two were silent. What else could they say except to protect this girl who was so clear about gratitude and resentment?

……

The weather was still sunny and cloudless. The river was covered with thick ice and there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. People stayed at home unless necessary.

The ferry was closed and almost no one came here to eat in the restaurant.

"Brother Jiyi, did you do what I asked you to do earlier?"

"Don't worry, it's done. But I don't know what the effect will be." Li Jiyi was skeptical about her approach. If she did this, she would probably even have to pay for the charcoal.

"Just wait and see. If it doesn't work, we'll close the business and go home." She was also worried. It was so cold and the ferry was some distance away from the county. Who would think of coming here?

Lu Chaoyun and Mu Tao stayed at their home in the city. The mother and daughter cleaned up the cellar and stored the food they bought in it in preparation for the coming year.

Only Ruan Fenfang and Li Jiyi were left in the restaurant, making a total of three people including her.

There were many more wooden square boxes on the shelves inside the counter, some large and some small, and I didn't know what was inside.

"Miss Jiang, I'm here." The door was pushed open and Wang Laoqi walked in, holding the child in his hand. Behind him were several men of similar age.

Everyone brought their children, and everyone really used this place as a warm place.

They were all porters working as coolies at the ferry.

"Uncle Wang, you are here, come in and sit down."

Wang Laoqi rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "It's still warm here. I really can't stay at home, it's too cold. Look, I brought my children here early in the morning. Do you have steamed noodles for lunch? The children haven't eaten it before, let them try it."

"Don't worry, Uncle Wang. Just like usual, we have everything you want to eat." Jiang Muxia said with a smile, "Today, I will treat my brothers and sisters to a meal for free."

"Oh, that's great. Why don't you three thank Sister Jiang quickly?"

"Ms. Jiang, you can't be partial. Aren't you going to invite these children?" Someone teased her.

"Please, please, please, everyone is welcome today. Thank you all for coming." Jiang Muxia agreed with a smile.

She took down wooden boxes of different shapes from the shelf behind the counter, placed them on the table, and introduced them to them one by one.

The box is filled with round chess pieces, including chess, go, and gobang, as well as various playing cards with numbers from one to twelve written on them.

She explained the gameplay in detail to everyone and let them figure it out on their own while she went about her business.

Before lunch, two more groups of people came into the restaurant and showed great interest in these novel playing cards.

This was the solution she came up with. She couldn’t just leave the shop idle during the more than two months of winter.

No matter how much or how little you earn, as long as there is some income, it's fine.

At least it's better than being idle every day.

At lunch time, the craftsmen came back to eat and Wang Laoqi greeted them.

"Brother Yuzhou, are you still short of people? All of us are idle in winter. If you are short of people, we can also earn some money and have a good New Year." Wang Laoqi asked casually.

Everyone echoed, "Yes, yes, the weather is too cold this year, and it's hard to find work. If you are short of people, Brother Yuzhou, we will work with you."

Most of the shops at the ferry have contracts with him to build firewalls. Seven or eight of them can complete the task slowly, and naturally they can earn more money.

Before Jiang Yuzhou could speak, Yin Dahe interrupted, "Brother, we really don't need any more people. After we finish these tasks, we will have nothing to do."

Jiang Yuzhou looked up at him and could only smile awkwardly: "Yes, Brother Wang, I'm sorry."

Of course Wang Laoqi saw through it, he was afraid that they would steal his job.

He smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, let's think of other ways."

Jiang Muxia sat at the counter and watched all this silently. Yin Dahe was too selfish.

Rebuilding the firewall is a very simple job, anyone who knows it can do it after looking at it. This year they can only do the job because it is just emerging. By next year, I am afraid that there will be experts who can see the inside story, and there won’t be so many jobs.

The same went for the stove. There were too many smart people. When she went out to buy, she saw that other blacksmith shops already had the same stove and fire wall.

If an industry wants to last long, it can only create its own brand, innovate and stay ahead of most people.

It is amazing if you can make everyone recognize only one brand for the same product.

For example, the Mei family’s wicker weaving is so popular that merchants in the entire Suanzao County only recognize their products.

All those who are engaged in willow weaving can only sell their willow products to the Mei family at a low price and earn a meager wage.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with Yin Daha wanting to make more money.

She remembered that in her previous life, there were bamboos growing in the wasteland not far from Lanjia Village. Now that the New Year is approaching, every family needs lanterns, so they make lanterns and sell them, which is also a way to make money.

After she figured it out, she said, "Uncle Wang, I heard there's a large bamboo forest behind your village. You can make lanterns and sell them for money. It's not a problem if the house is cold. Uncle Guan has a stove and a fire wall. As long as there's firewood at home, the temperature in the room will be the same as here."

Most of the villages under the jurisdiction of Suanzao County are built with adobe houses, which have excellent thermal insulation effects.

"Miss Jiang's suggestion is good, but we don't know how to do it..."

"How difficult is that? I'll teach you." Jiang Muxia said with a smile.

"How about this, we cut the bamboo and bring it here, and Miss Jiang will be the shopkeeper. She can give some of the money she earns to us." Wang Laoqi suggested, "We are all rough people and don't have the brains for business. Why don't you let Miss Jiang do this business?"

"Good idea. I think this place is quite big. We can remove the table and work here. We can keep warm and earn some money. It's a win-win situation for both you and me. I wonder if Miss Jiang agrees?"

Jiang Muxia was speechless, he just made a suggestion, how come there was an additional "industry"?
