Chapter 43: Ch. 21 Part 1

Xiao Ling and YanZhi left home early the next day on horse backs, leaving Yue at home to train the village head’s children. They decided not to visit doctor Shi since they were in hurry and went straight to for the wine jars... Xiao Ling bought a lot of big jars and after he decided to have the jar crafter to craft small wine jars in different sizes with the designs he sketched. He signed a long term cooeporation with the jar crafter before they left with the jars placed into YanZhi’s space, after they headed to the restaurant to check the progress. Brother Song came to greet the when he saw them unmount their horses in front of the restaurant.

" Boss you’re here....? " brother Song cupped his hands and Xiao Ling smiled brightly while YanZhi just nod indifferently, brother Song took them around to inspect their progress which Xiao Ling was very satisfied.

" Brother Song with this progress, I can open the restaurant in a week’s time " Xiao Ling happily praised making brother Song touched his nose feeling boastful.

" Ah boss the cart is ready... it’s at the back. You can take it away if you want " brother Song informed excitedly showing them the efficiency of his work... they went to the back to check the cart which was nothing special like the designs for the carriage, Xiao Ling designed the cart like a carriage so that whatever the cart was going to transport would be hidden from the eyes of others. He checked the renovations of the rooms at the back which were done and furnitured with the modern design furnitures which he sketched... the master’s room was for both he and YanZhi and the other two rooms were made as resting place for the workers with lockers created in them.

One for boys and the other for both girls and gers since in this world the gers were also considered female genders, they complimented brother Song for his wonderful work and the pace in which he was working in. They tied the cart with the horse and had the horses pull it as they made their way to old Lei the blacksmith, when they got there he was busy crafting the crafts Xiao Ling ordered. YanZhi and Xiao Ling decided to take the ones which old Lei had crafted like five clank shave ice machine, five noodles maker, some sets of cutlery and the others... after they left there they visited the porcelain crafter and took from him what he also had crafted.

Everything they ordered had a logo designed on them which was the name they were going to use for the restaurant ZhiLing’s Diner which was what Xiao Ling decided on with the support of YanZhi. They head to the market and bought bags of sugar and bags of soybeans, everything they bought in the county was placed in the cart and the things collected from old Lei and the porcelain crafter before they started to make their way back home.

" Xiong Gong the soybeans we got won’t be enough... " Xiao Ling said after a long thought... YanZhi hmmed.

" Hm, you can buy some from the villages, let’s talk to Dahu and his wife about that and the chickens and ducks... let’s have them handle that and purchase from the villagers for us. " YanZhi simple said and Xiao Ling agreed. When they got to the village, the villagers who saw them had something new to talk about. Since the incident with the Jun family, the Jun family didn’t have time to bother them again as they were busy dealing with the shame they felt in.

Yanzhi and Xiao Ling ignored the looks given to the by the villagers, the villagers heard of them hiring people for work from the people who came to visit YanZhi and Xiao Ling yesterday... the villagers were so angry that they were hiring from other villages when there were people in big stone village, but they couldn’t go and confront Xiao Ling and YanZhi about it since they didn’t have close relationship with them but they did try to have the village head intervene the village head denied them on spot with a few words ’ they can hire whoever they want, if you want to them to hire you then go to them yourself... they have no obligations to hire you just because you’re all in the same village. Those who want to work in the county find the works themselves, do not bother them with that, and besides some of the children were hired! ’ the villagers were over pissed when they heard such words from the village head.

They thought the village head was taking Xiao Ling and YanZhi’s side since he was benefiting from them but they just don’t know what exactly he was benefiting since they saw all his children coming out of YanZhi’s house several times but they did not know what the children did there or got from there... when YanZhi made mention of Yue being his disciple no one thought about it because they wouldn’t believe YanZhi was a martial artist or cultivator or anything special the villagers only cared about the fun and gossips so they forgot that at the backs of their heads. Well that was until the martial arts school is opened, we’ll get there soon.

YanZhi and Xiao Ling head to Wu Dahu’s house, coincidentally Dahu was also coming back from farming when the run into each other in front of his house... YanZhi and Xiao Ling unmounted from the horses cupped their hands and greeted

" Brother Yan, little brother Lin..... what brings the both of you here today? "

Dahu asked them as he also cupped his hands in response to their greeting, he push open the door and led them in. Dahu’s house wasn’t very big and a little shabby, but it was one of the few brick houses in big stone village..... his wife walked out of the room when she when she heard the front door being opened.

" Family head you’re back.... and brother Yan and his wife are here too " she greeted them before helping her husband with the sickle and other things... they walked into the room for entertaining guests and she gave them chairs to sit on.

" Ah brother Dahu... the thing is Xiong Gong and came to find you with the mindset of a business proposal " Xiao Ling said to Dahu as soon as they sat down, Zhao Fan who was about to go get them water stopped in her tracks when she heard what Xiao Ling said... she quickly walk back to them and took the seat next to her husband forgetting about the water. Dahu was also stunned to hear that, he would be happy to do if it was a good business but at the same time he was worried. He didn’t know much about Xiao Ling and YanZhi’s financial situation and how much silvers they have to support themselves so he thought why give them the business, they should rather do it themselves so they could earn more to support themselves and buy a land to build and farm...

" Brother Yan, we’re so grateful that you think about us when you have a good thing, but shouldn’t you do the business yourselves... you’re still living in that broken house. You should buy a land and build a new house and buy some farm lands too. " he advised them whole heartedly which made both YanZhi and Xiao Ling smile to see that he wasn’t a greedy person... their likeness of him went up more again.

" Brother Dahu the business little wife and I brought to you is a cooperation business with us, you don’t need to worry that we’re giving the business to you alone. " YanZhi assured making Dahu and his beamed excitedly.

" C’mon tell us... what business is it. Little Lin don’t keep us in suspense " Zhao Fan couldn’t hold herself anymore and asked excitedly which made Dahu coughed embarrassed.

" Ah you see I’m going to open a restaurant in the county soon, the carpenter is also done with the renovations. The thing is I’ll be needing ducks, chickens, vegetables and soybeans... but you know Xiong Gong and i don’t have farmlands yet to farm all the vegetables and soybeans we need and we won’t have time to raise ducks and chickens... so that’s why we came to you to ask you to raise chickens and ducks and sell them to us. We’ll sign a cooperation contract with you and pay you a deposit of two taels for now, we’ll start needing the ducks and chickens in about one to two weeks from now, we’ve sign the same contract with grandma Shen you can ask her if you don’t believe us .... "

" Little brother Ling how could you say that we don’t believe you? I know brother Yan and you wouldn’t do anything to harm us! " Dahu said in fury as he heard Xiao Ling’s words which made Xiao Ling laughed embarrassedly and apologized.

" Brother Dahu forgive me of my words I just said it without thinking... so what do you think, would you like to consider raising ducks and chickens? and as for the vegetables and soybeans you can help us buy from the villagers, you know we don’t have good relationship with them so we don’t want to get involve much with them... and only buy from good people, we’ll pay you for your troubles. " Dahu and his wife immediately agreed to sign the contract and raised ducks and chickens for them, they lived a good life but they weren’t that well off so of course they’ll do such a good business which was brought to them to their door.

YanZhi took out two contacts which was already written and gave it to Dahu to stamp his thumb on them and he did so too, he took one and Dahu also took one. He gave Dahu two taels as the deposit and they talked about when to start buying the soybeans and vegetables as for the ducks and chickens both husband and wife immediately made up their minds to go to the county and buy a lot of chicks and ducklings and a few not very mature chickens and ducks to come start raising them, Xiao Ling and YanZhi walked themselves out and mounted their horses before heading straight to the house.

YanZhi got off the his horse and pushed opened the door for Xiao Ling to lead the horses and cart in, he also closed the door after the cart had gotten in. Yue and the Lu’s stopped training when they saw Xiao Ling led the horses and cart into the front yard and YanZhi walked behind, they cupped their hands and greeted them as Xiao Ling also got off the house

" Master, mistress you’re back " Yue pouted as she said aggrieved, she was resentful because they left her home and went to the county alone... she liked going everywhere with them rather than training the Lu’s. YanZhi pretended not to see her aggrieved looked while Xiao Ling pat her head to sooth her.
