134 Buying More Bulls
Jian Rong nodded his head in embarrassment. “I found that the chili in the vegetables is especially delicious. I want to open a restaurant for my mother. When the time comes, I’ll put the chili in and stir-fry it. Business will definitely be good.”
Jian Qingqing gave him a thumbs up in praise. “Not bad! You can buy a shop so quickly!”
Jian Rong was a little embarrassed. He said gratefully, “It’s all thanks to Sister Qingqing. Otherwise, it’s hard to say if I would have been able to survive last spring.”
With Jian Qingqing’s help, not only could his grandmother afford to buy medicine, but her body was much better now. The whole family could even eat a full meal, and they even built a house. This was something that he did not dare to dream about in the past.
After saving enough money, he wanted to buy a shop for his mother to use as a restaurant. This way, his mother would not have to work so hard.
Jian Qingqing shook her head. She smiled at him and said, “You earned all of this by relying on your own abilities. I’m just acting as a bridge. How you live your life is up to you. You can plant that chili if you want to. Do you have anything else to do next?”
Jian Rong smiled and said, “I just want to open a restaurant for my mother and continue selling braised pork and spicy hot pot.”
“Are you planning to do this for the rest of your life?”
Jian Rong looked at her blankly. “What’s wrong with doing this for the rest of my life? To be able to earn so much money and then buy a few plots of land and open two shops is something that I’ve never dared to think about before.”
Jian Qingqing looked at him seriously. “Little Rong, you should go study.”
“Study? Why should I study? Isn’t it already good enough that I can earn money?”
Jian Qingqing shook her head. “Studying can make people know etiquette and wisdom. Even if the examiner doesn’t read more books, it’s still good. You will build a good life through studying.”
Jian Rong still didn’t understand. “But what’s the point of not studying if I don’t apply the knowledge after learning it?”
“Who says you wont apply it? Don’t you need to look at the books when you open a shop? If you don’t know how to look at the books, what if you’re cheated by the accountant you hired? Moreover, are you satisfied with selling food and farming in Shifeng County? Don’t you want to go out and take a look? Maybe you can do business in the longer term. Xiao Rong, your future is not limited to this.”
Jian Rong nodded with some confusion, “I understand, Sister Qingqing. I will think about it carefully.”
…
Manual farming was still too slow. Jian Qingqing planned to buy a few more bulls. No matter if they were healthy or thin, the cows that could be cultivated were all good bulls.
After buying ten bulls, she was in a dilemma.
Damn it, she forgot to ask people to buy them together. How could she rush back with so many bulls.
Should she ask a few people to help her get the bulls back?
She stood outside the bull market and looked at the pedestrians who were hesitating.
Suddenly, someone called out to her, “Miss Jian?”
Jian Qingqing looked over. It turned out that Ming Zhiyan was sitting on the horse and looking at her from afar. His eyebrows were straight and his eyes were bright. He was handsome and imposing. It was as if he was painting through the crowd.
She waved her hand in surprise. “Lord Ming!”
Ming Zhiyan controlled the horse to walk over and swiftly dismounted.
“Miss Jian, why are you here?”
Jian Qingqing pointed at the herd of cows behind her and said helplessly, “I’m here to buy bulls, but… I’m thinking of how to get them back.”
Ming Zhiyan was silent for a moment and said, “I’ll help you drive them back.”
“Ah?” Jian Qing Qing looked at him in surprise. “That’s not very good, is it?”
“It’s fine,” Ming Zhiyan said as he led his own horse into the bull market and let the guards take care of it. Then, he came out and took the rope from Jian Qinging. “Give it to me.”
At this point, Jian Qingqing had no choice but to give her five bulls over to him. Just like that, the two of them led the five bulls on the road.
