Talking about this beca a little embarrassing. That person ran quite fast and Yang Chuxia forgot to catch him.
She couldn’t help but apologize, "Dear sirs, I’m sorry to have you co all this way for nothing. The little thief ran away."
"No harm done. If he ran, he ran. As long as no one was hurt," one of the brokers said. "Since everything’s fine here, we will go back and report to Constable Hong."
"Ah, alright. Safe travels, sirs." Fugui escorted the brokers out and gave each of them a string of coins.
Only then did Yang Chuxia turn her attention back to the elderly man and his daughter.
The older man now thoroughly believed Yang Chuxia’s words and ordered his daughter to pack and follow her.
The group didn’t return to the village right away but instead, went to the shop Yang Chuxia had bought in the county.
The shop was in a pri location, close to the main roads of the city where people always passed by. It was quite lively.
"Fugui, go to the county town these two days and find so workers for . I want the shop divided in the middle, one side will sell our family’s nuts and the other will be for the Artistry Pavilion samples."
Having solved the issues of the elderly man and his daughter, and having them temporarily settled in the harem, Yang Chuxia addressed the formal matters with Fugui.
"Sure, I will do this first thing tomorrow."
"Hmm, and right now, go out and buy more bedding and daily necessities. I’m afraid we’ll be staying in the county for a few days until the shop is completely renovated."
"Alright."
After these words, Fugui went out to buy things, while Yang Chuxia returned to her room for a rest.
She only woke up in the evening, pulled from her sleep by a fragrant aroma.
When she got up, she discovered the elder’s daughter had been cooking. When the girl saw Yang Chuxia, she was grateful and a bit shy as she said, "Miss, I saw that Brother Fugui bought so rice and vegetables, so I made so dishes."
"Sister, everyone here calls Xiaxia, so you can call Xiaxia too. By the way, I still don’t know your na."
"I...my na is Shen Qiu, and I’m fourteen years old."
Yang Chuxia smiled and said, "Sister Shen Qiu."
Looking at Shen Qiu, she seed to be a very gentle and graceful girl. Her smile was very warm, so it was no wonder she attracted so much attention. Many n, particularly in this era, were very chauvinistic and soft, gentle won like this naturally aroused their protective instincts.
"Sister Shen Qiu, what delicious food have you made? I could sll the aroma from inside my room."
"Just so dishes from our hotown. They use the sa ingredients, but they’re cooked differently than here."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia went to the kitchen to see the dishes. Indeed, they were different from those in Yangshu village. Shen Qiu’s dishes seed a bit sweeter, like seafood, which didn’t have any chili but slled sweet.
At dinner, she indeed found that the dishes were sweet and sour, and very delicious.
The following day, seeing that Yang Chuxia seed to enjoy her cooking, Shen Qiu took over making breakfast as well, so Fugui no longer needed to buy breakfast elsewhere.
After breakfast, Fugui did as Yang Chuxia instructed, going to the county town first to look around and then finding so people to help renovate the shop.
Yang Chuxia thought that since she was already in the county, she should go see the Old Madam of County Magistrate, so she brought so gifts and went to the harem in the county governnt.
When she returned from the county governnt, Fugui had already started the renovation of the shop with his team.
After four consecutive days, the shop was finally completely renovated.
