Chapter 365 Something is wrong

"Yes!" Zhuo Dingsheng nodded in response and immediately went to pass on the order.

Seeing that the matter was a done deal and could not be changed, An Jingzhong gritted his teeth in anger.

Seeing this, An Leiting snorted coldly, "Control your temper. You need to bow your head when you need to!"

An Jingzhong stiffened his neck and did not respond.

Rebel!

An Leiting was so angry that he shouted at An Jingzhong, "Although Lu Qiyan will be your deputy commander in the future, I will give him the task of teaching you martial arts. You must follow Lu Qiyan and train well in the future!"

Seeing that An Jingzhong still remained silent and looked unconvinced, An Leiting was so angry that he kicked An Jingzhong to the ground.

"If you don't study the art of war and practice martial arts well, I will remove your title of military commander and let you follow the team to gain experience!"

So that you don’t know your place!
An Jingzhong was filled with grievances and opened his mouth to argue with An Leiting, but when he looked up and saw An Leiting's face as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, he could only shiver. He could only lower his head and swallow his resentment.

After a while, he stammered, "I know..."

An Leiting snorted coldly, "Now that you know, hurry back to greet your new deputy commander!"

"Yes."

An Jingzhong stood up, walked out, and remained silent outside the door for a long time before he gritted his teeth and strode away.

Xia Mingyue knew nothing about what was happening in the military camp. She only knew that Xia Ji's food stall was doing a booming business recently, with many people joining in.

Another food stall was opened in the north of the city, and the franchisees were an elderly couple.

The couple has lived in Changzhou City for many years and witnessed it going through many wars. Their two sons and daughters-in-law, and a daughter and son-in-law all died in succession due to war, plague and other things. Now the couple only has their 13-year-old granddaughter to depend on.

The old couple raised some chickens and ducks at home, or sold some live chickens and ducks, or bought some chicken and duck eggs. In addition, their granddaughter learned embroidery from others and made some purses, handkerchiefs, etc. to earn some money, which was enough to make ends meet.

The family of three are honest and hardworking.

People with good character are always liked by others because they are not dishonest or clever when doing business.

In this era where reputation is more important than anything else and a spit can crush a person to death but can also lift a person to the sky, word of mouth has made the business of Xia Ji's food stall go from being prosperous at the beginning to becoming even more prosperous.

Next, it was the third Xiaji franchisee in the south of the city...

Because of the experience of expanding business in Jinqiu County, Xia Mingyue and others are familiar with their business here and it is going quite smoothly.

Seeing this, Xia Mingyue simply promoted the cold pot skewers snack cart as well.

Manager Fu began to look for a suitable shop, preparing to turn Xia Ji’s braised food shop into his own business.

Braised food shops have many profit points and high margins, and are very suitable for self-operated business.

When in Jinqiu County, Xia Mingyue was worried that the management of the central kitchen had consumed a lot of her energy. There was no available manager at the time. In addition, opening a braised food shop also required some costs, so Xia Mingyue was quite hesitant.

It just so happened that the Qian couple came to look for business, so he just went with the flow and gave the business to them.

As for the He family, they were not short of money and had a dedicated and capable manager under them. It was perfect for them to open a braised food shop that could make more money.

Moreover, considering the population size and consumption capacity of Changzhou Prefecture, this braised food shop can be opened larger and in an excellent location. Manager Fu also thought so, so when looking for a shop, he only considered the location and the size of the shop, and did not care about money.

Seeing this, Xia Mingyue was deeply moved.

Sure enough, whether in modern times or here, money can always make money. The He family is not short of money, and will become less and less short of money.

She also wants to be this damn rich person!
Just as Xia Mingyue sighed several times towards the sky, she saw Zhuang Cui frowning with suspicion on her face.

From time to time, I would shake my head and sigh, "Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Xia Mingyue felt a little uneasy. "Could it be that we have been targeted by someone?"

"That's not the case." Zhuang Cui explained, "It's just that we haven't been targeted by anyone."

"What do you mean?" Xia Mingyue was puzzled.

"My wife's Xia Ji business is booming in Changzhou City, and it is now well-known. But it stands to reason that people are afraid of being famous, just like pigs are afraid of being fat. The better the business, the more famous it is, the more likely it is to be targeted."

Zhuang Cui frowned and said, "But we have been in Changzhou City for more than a month, and Xia's business is becoming more and more prosperous, but no one has come to cause trouble. Don't you think something is wrong?"

Xia Mingyue nodded slightly after hearing this, "Indeed."

Not to mention that colleagues are enemies, there are always red-eyed rabbits in the world. Even if there are no such people, there are ruffians and idle street urchins everywhere. It definitely shouldn't be so quiet.

"Perhaps the people in Changzhou City are simple and honest, and everyone is kind-hearted, so there aren't so many problems?" Jiang Zhuguo guessed, but then shook his head, "That doesn't seem right."

There are only a few people in a village, and there will always be one or two people with evil intentions, let alone the city of Changzhou.

What's more, Changzhou City has experienced wars for a long time and is located at the border, so it is natural that there will be a mix of good and bad people.

While the three of them were puzzled, He Shunzi scratched his head and said, "Actually, I may know the reason behind this."

"What do you mean?" Xia Mingyue asked.

"I came earlier than you three, Madam Xia. I came with Steward Fu. On the first night here, I saw Steward Fu go somewhere."

"Where?"

"The government office in Changzhou City."

"Manager Fu..." Xia Mingyue pursed her lips, "What are you going to do at the government office?"

"I don't know about that. I only know that when Manager Fu went to the government office, the prefect personally welcomed him in, and his attitude was extremely respectful."

He Shunzi said, "But it was my first time in the city, and I just wanted to walk around the streets to get familiar with the city. I happened to see Steward Fu, and I was afraid that Steward Fu would misunderstand that I was secretly following him, so I left quickly. So I didn't hear clearly what the prefect said when he saw Steward Fu."

"But no matter what you say, the fact that Steward Fu can enter and leave the government office and is personally greeted by the prefect shows that their relationship is extraordinary!"

"Indeed." Xia Mingyue and the other two nodded.

Being able to become the guest of honor of the prefect, the business run by Manager Fu in Changzhou City will definitely be highly valued by the prefect.

Shenshou is about to start school and will face the life of living in the dormitory in the first grade of junior high school. Shenshou's mother has been either accompanying him for a physical examination or looking for a place to make cotton for bedding. It is probably because school is about to start, and all the places making bedding are crowded... As expected, everyone still likes cotton the most~
