It was too late. Everyone took a hot bath, drank ginger soup, and went to sleep.

The rain didn't stop the next day and got even heavier. Dong's family was so enthusiastic that they didn't let Chen Mingdong and Chen Mingnan rush on their way in the rain.

Mrs. Qian simply said, "The dim sum shop will be closed today!"

"Oh!" Everyone cheered.

Ever since I opened a pastry shop at home, I haven’t stopped for a day. Although I am happy to make money, I am also really tired.

After breakfast, everyone gathered around and asked Dongming Ziyu about his scientific examination.

Dongming Ziyu told everyone everything about his arrival in Fengcheng.

Hearing that Ling Yue and Wu Lang were almost captured, everyone became worried, looked nervous and angry, and cursed the damn human traffickers.

When they heard that a human trafficker had come here pretending to be a matchmaker, and that they were the ones ordered by Boss Xu to catch the two children, they were all so angry that they wanted to go to Boss Xu to fight for their lives.

Hearing that all the traffickers had been caught, even though Boss Xu had escaped, he had become a fugitive and could no longer act as a monster. Everyone praised Zhizhou as the great master of Qingtian.

Empress Dong Youyin said fearfully: "The interlocking links are really scary. If the four younger siblings hadn't been vigilant, and Ling Yue and Wu Lang were brave and resourceful, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Mrs. Qian hugged Ling Yue and Wu Lang one by one, "Hey, thank you for being smart! Otherwise, what would you do if you were kidnapped and sold?"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Fortunately, evil people are rewarded with evil, and the reputation of that teaching is also bad in the streets, and it will not be good."

Chen Mingdong interjected: "Fortunately, there are some students. The prefect pays attention to his reputation among the students, and the Minister of Rites is in the city to invigilate the exams. Even if he wants to, he can't do it for personal gain."

Dongming Ziyu took another look at Chen Mingdong, but he didn't expect that this Chen Mingdong was somewhat knowledgeable.

Higashikata smiled and asked, "Brother Mingdong is really knowledgeable."

Chen Mingnan said with some pride: "My eldest brother has studied and practiced martial arts, and worked as a bodyguard in a bodyguard bureau for six or seven years. Otherwise, we would not dare to travel so far to deliver things to you."

Chen Mingdong said modestly: "With my two-legged cat skills, I can't be called a bodyguard. It's just because of my youth and vigour. Later, the world was not peaceful, and there was chaos everywhere. I was injured twice, and my family no longer dared to let me go."

Went out as a escort."

Dongming Ziyu narrowed his eyes and said, "I have an idea here that is suitable for you. It's not a very dangerous idea to make money."

Shangguan Ruoli pursed his lips and smiled, guessing what idea he had in mind. It was originally an idea she gave him from a retired veteran in order to place wounded soldiers.

Chen Mingdong's eyes lit up and he sat up straighter, "Brother Dong, please speak."

Dongming Ziyu said: "Organize a convoy to transport people, goods or letters."

Chen Mingdong said with some embarrassment: "You mean to set up a bodyguard agency by yourself? This is not easy. Just recruiting martial arts masters will cost a lot of money."

Dongming Ziyu said: "It's not an escort agency. The escort agency collects the goods and travels all over the world. This transport team can fix routes and towns. For example, Liulin County to Fengcheng.

Just like a post station in the imperial court, there is a shop on each side to collect letters and items for a certain fee. There is a round trip every day or every other day.

It can also be made into a large carriage, pulled by several horses. There are seats in the carriage to transport people between Liulin County and Fengcheng back and forth. It can also carry some light goods and letters. "

Shangguan Ruoli took out paper and pen, and Dongming Ziyu drew a small bus with three horses on the paper. There was a shed where the driver drove the bus, so he was not afraid of wind and rain.

Chen Mingdong's eyes were bright and he said excitedly: "You can do it! But..."

His eyes dimmed again, "Even if you open a pastry shop, you are being coveted and plotted. It is obvious to me that without a strong backer, it is difficult to do something. I have no backer, and I don't have so much money to buy cars and horses."

Old Man Dong was frightened by Boss Xu and Jiang Xiancheng, "Yes, if the goods are lost, just pay them money. If something happens to this person, it will be a big deal. If someone acts like a robber, it's really embarrassing."

I can’t walk around in circles!”

Chen Mingdong said: "A running escort also has to register and process documents at the Yamen. He often has to look after government officers and soldiers, and he also has to buy money for the gangsters and gangsters along the way. There are many ways to do this.

If you earn less, you won’t be able to exploit them. If you earn more, you will be coveted for business. Unless there are powerful people as your backers, ordinary forces will not dare to mess with you.”

Dongming Ziyu has always been aloof. Although he has learned a little about the lives of the people at the bottom through his travels over the years, he does not know the details.

After thinking for a while, he nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Let's discuss this later."

Changing the subject, he said: "This time Wulang's mother made some snacks and gave them to the candidates who helped. The snacks in our shop must be famous among the students.

I thought, if I become a scholar this time, I will buy or rent a shop in Fengcheng and open a branch of a really delicious pastry shop."

Higashi Arita said: "What about making snacks? You have to buy a yard, build an oven, and make snacks, right?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "Buy a shop with a yard, just like the shops in the county. Make cakes in the backyard and live in it. Some candies, biscuits and the like that are easy to store are prepared at home and transported there by horse-drawn carriage.

You can earn back the travel expenses by bringing some customers or goods. If you don't have a car at home, don't you always take the cars of passing merchants? I'll test the water first, and when I get the merit test, I will open the stall.

Spread it out.”

Chen Mingdong smiled and said: "This is really good. If you need help from our brothers, just ask."

Dongming Ziyu was not polite and said: "Then please go back and help us inquire about shops. After the list is published, I will go to Fengcheng to buy a shop."

Seeing how confident he was, Chen Mingdong was naturally willing to form such a good relationship and agreed repeatedly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Mrs. Qian began to think about what to do after buying a shop, and said: "We are too busy just thinking about it. Is it possible that we need to send someone to Fengcheng to make snacks?"

Shangguan Ruoli said quietly: "Buy someone."

"Ah?!" When the family heard this, they were all shocked. They just had enough to eat and were about to buy someone else?

Mrs. Qian was a little uneasy, "This, this is not good, is it? We are just ordinary people, why do we need to buy people to yell at us!"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Then hire people from the village? Are you sure you can give them the recipe?"

Mrs. Qian said: "That won't work!"

She was worried about the girls because she was afraid that they would leak the dim sum recipe to their husband's family after they got married. She also threatened them that if the recipe was leaked in the future, their mothers would be divorced.

Shangguan Ruoli doesn't care if Fang Zi leaks secrets in the future, as long as the quality is good, he can survive. But now it is the only way for the family to make money, so he has to be more cautious.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!" There was a rapid knock on the door outside.

Who is it on this rainy day?

Someone shouted: "No! The flash flood is coming!"
