Chapter 994: The Next Step(1/2)

Luo Fengtang smiled and nodded: "Yeah."

As long as you need me, I'll be available anytime, anywhere.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Okay, then come over and have lunch together tomorrow noon."

In order to celebrate the reopening and ward off bad luck, she invited a group of dragon and lion dancers to come over tomorrow.

Let's set off firecrackers again, and it will be lively and lively.

After Luo Fengtang heard this, he nodded readily: "Okay!"

His eyes fell on the thick stack of paper in Yang Ruoqing's hand again.

"What is Qing'er writing?" he asked.

Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment, and her eyes flickered.

Then he handed the thing in his hand over to him and said, "See for yourself. You will understand after you see it."

He lowered his head, looked at the first picture, and then raised his eyes, something surprising flashed across his eyes.

He seemed to be asking her.

She smiled at him, winked, and made a silencing gesture.

"Don't ask first, then look down," she said.

"Um."

He nodded and looked down again.

She stood up and stretched her muscles.

Seeing Zhuiyun over there who was still lying on the ground with his mouth tilted and chewing on the roasted pig's trotters, the corners of her lips curved in pleasure.

He stood up and walked toward Zhuiyun, squatting down next to it.

"I'll get you some water and drink some after you finish eating," she said.

Zhuiyun made a 'woo' sound in his throat, as if in response to her.

She smiled, turned around and went outside.

Soon, a gourd ladle was used to scoop out a ladle full of water.

Putting it next to Zhuiyun's nose, Zhuiyun sniffed the water and then looked up at her.

Don't drink.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and understood.

"Ah, this nose is very sensitive. I secretly added medicine to the water, and you smelled it out?"

she said with a smile.

That's right, this is not ordinary water, it's a potion.

Used to treat Zhuiyun's internal injuries.

External application, oral administration, acupuncture, dietary therapy.

This is the treatment plan she tailored for Zhuiyun this time.

"Drink quickly. Your internal injuries will heal faster if you drink." She urged.

Zhuiyun seemed to understand, it no longer resisted, buried its mouth into the gourd and took a sip...

'Ah sneeze...'

It couldn't help but turn its head and sneezed loudly.

Yang Ruoqing chuckled twice.

"That medicine is a bit spicy. It is a good medicine that tastes bitter and is good for the disease. Drink it quickly." She urged again.

Zhuiyun looked at her with a helpless look, then buried his head and drank it all in one breath.

"Wow, it's great for us to chase the clouds. We'll roast chicken for you at night."

She hugged Zhuiyun's head and was intimate with it for a while.

Zhuiyun was as docile as a white sheep, his plush head rubbing in her arms.

On the other side of the table, Luo Fengtang had read all the contents of the paper in his hand as quickly as possible.

He sat there with a thoughtful and serious expression on his face.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing patted Zhuiyun on the head: "You can play by yourself, Tang Yazi and I will go get down to business and come back to you later."

Zhuiyun obediently let her go and went to the door of the house to bask in the sun alone.



"Qing'er, these...are your plans for the next step of the restaurant business, right?"

Seeing her come and sit down next to him, Luo Fengtang picked up the paper information in his hand and asked her.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Well, yes."

Tianxiang Tower now has branches in Huguang County, Qingshui Town, and Xiushui Town.

All the stewards and waiters in the three restaurants totaled sixty or seventy people.

In addition, she also organized a herb collection team and a transportation team in the village.

In other words, she is now in charge of the food and clothing of hundreds of people.

In the eyes of the villagers, her business is already big enough.

But in her own view, this is just the first step in a long march of thousands of miles.

"Qing'er, I don't object to you opening the restaurant to Licheng, which has a large population."

Luo Fengtang's voice sounded again.

"What surprises me is why you wrote to Brother Zuo and asked him to bring over the group of beggars you rescued last time?"

he asked next.

In the last incident in Huguang County, the good man Pang Pang controlled many children.

He sent those children out to be beggars to get money for him.

Some children were even more pitiful. They were deliberately made disabled and thrown into the streets of Washikou, the streets, and the docks.

Let them win the sympathy of passers-by and achieve his goal of making money.

Later, the matter was revealed, and the Pang brothers were chopped to death by him and Zuo Junmo, and their heads were hung at the gate of Huguang County.

Those rescued beggars are now in Zuo Junmo's hands.

Hearing Luo Fengtang's question, Yang Ruoqing smiled faintly.

"I want those beggars, so of course they have my use," she said.

"Do you work as a busboy in a restaurant?" Luo Fengtang asked.

"As far as I know, Brother Zuo also placed them in the shop under the Zuo family's name as odd jobs," he said.

"It's too troublesome for you to come all the way to get them here. Why don't you recruit them locally in Licheng and Xiushui Town? Can't you find a man to retaliate?" he asked again.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.

"No," she said.

"If they are ordinary clerks and waiters, I can just ask Uncle Wu to recruit them. There is no need to worry about it myself."

"The reason why I have to personally recruit these guys is that I want to build my own intelligence network." She finally said.

"What?"

Luo Fengtang was stunned.

Intelligence network?

This girl...what do you want to know?

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyes, seeming to see his doubts.

She continued: "Now that the Black Lotus Sect's army is approaching, Xiushui has fallen, and Licheng is trapped, I suddenly feel a sense of crisis."

Sense of crisis?

His eyebrows frowned slightly.

He didn't interrupt her, but listened carefully.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "In the past, in Changping Village, my plan was to sell tofu and earn money to buy land to build a new house so that the whole family could have enough food and warm clothes."

"Later, after Jin Feng's poisoning incident, my father was imprisoned."

"I suddenly felt that power and support were very important, so I sent Da'an and Dajie to study."

"Later, the business grew bigger and bigger, and I opened my own restaurant. By chance, I became a supporter of Magistrate Zou."
