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
