Chapter 249 - 248 Such an Obvious Thing
Lian Gui sauntered to the small food shop, first instructing Qi Ercheng to go near the Liang family to inquire about their movements and see if Liang Qiyuan had any reaction to what happened in the main hall of the county government office. Then, he sat in the still deserted shop and recounted the interrogation at the government office to Nanny Jin.
Upon hearing this, Nanny Jin’s face lit up with joy, "So, they are pursuing the Liang family now. From now on, we can peacefully run our business. Although the commotion these days hasn’t affected our income much, that’s not how business should be done. We must open our doors and trade to be a proper business."
Lian Gui picked up the teacup and sipped slowly as he looked around the small food shop.
In the past, such a small business wouldn’t catch Lian Gui’s eye, but now he dared not underestimate this little shop.
During his days handling matters for the Qi family, sometimes, when manpower was tight, Lian Gui also led people to the county town to deliver goods and messages. After going back and forth a few times and seeing the operation of the small food shop, he had also seen the various pastries in the shop’s kitchen.
Having worked in Duke’s Mansion since he was young, and later closely serving the Duke, it couldn’t be said that he was lacking in experience. However, the pastries and soups managed by Young Lady and Nanny Jin were more refined and tastier than anything he had seen before.
And Nanny Jin, who had suffered much under the Young Lady in Duke’s Mansion, had now transformed, capable of running the small food shop and receiving a different kind of respect from the Young Lady.
He had seen the Young Lady and Nanny Jin discussing the affairs of the food shop. If the Young Lady had a different opinion from Nanny Jin, she would abandon her own views and let Nanny Jin make the decisions. This empowerment wasn’t just empty talk; it was really entrusting the business to Nanny Jin. For a servant to be revered to this extent was indeed the epitome, no wonder everyone in Anshun’s Household always said that Nanny Jin’s hardships had turned to sweetness.
