Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 236 Wanfuju Shopkeeper Qian Arrives

After everyone finished their dinner happily, Su He's father told the newcomers to pay attention to the safety of the manor. This time they came mainly to increase the manpower here, and also to train the young and strong men in the manor. Such a large manor must have strong military strength.

Now the farm is not only about fields, but also about workshops, which need to be protected from outsiders. If you have people on your farm, you won't be afraid of those scoundrels in the dark.

The name of this manor is written as Su He Niang, the name of the house in Fengyu City is written as Su He's father, and the next manor will be written in Su He's name. In this country where information is not well developed, it is not easy to find unless someone deliberately searches carefully.

This was also what Su He and his family had discussed. They didn't have the ability to protect too many things right now. So they should spread out so that even if something happened, they could still save some of them.

If there are more in the future, I will put them in the name of the capable people around me. Even if something happens to the Su family, they will not end up in poverty and destitution like before, and live in a remote mountain village. If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. You must not put all your eggs in one basket. The premise is that you have to have a lot of eggs. If you only have a few, don't bother.

They rested at the farm for one night, and the next day they asked Wang Dashan to drive the mule cart with them to Fengyu City. On the way, Wang Dashan told Su He's father about the situation at the farm. Wang Zhuangtou was a good man, treated his subordinates well, and managed the business in a meticulous and thoughtful manner. Wang Dashan assured Su He's father that Wang Zhuangtou's family were all honest people, and no one was cunning or dishonest.

Su He's father told Wang Dashan to pay attention to whether there were outsiders watching Fu Man Lou, and remember not to put the manor in danger. If anything really happened, go to find Manager Wu first. Several people in the manor knew about Shili Village, and they could send someone to ride a mule back to report the news. Three of the people who came this time could ride horses, so mules were naturally no problem.

They talked all the way to Fengyu City. They went back to their own home first and then went to Fengyu Tower in the afternoon. Since they were here, they would stay at home for a day. Only when someone lives in the house will it be lively. When there are more people at home in the future, they will send someone to look after the yard.

As soon as they entered the yard, someone saw them coming back and hurried back to report. After waiting for so long, they finally found the person. They ran back as fast as they could, not wanting to be lost again.

He ran to Wanfulou and breathlessly found Shopkeeper Qian and said, "Shopkeeper, I finally waited until the Su family opened the door, and saw that they had just arrived in a car today. There were three people in total. Shopkeeper, what should we do?"

Manager Qian stood up immediately and hurriedly called a few servants to look for the Su family. They drove to the gate of the Su family, and a servant went forward to knock on the door.

The door knocker rang from outside. Su He and the others were surprised that someone came to their house just after they arrived. Who was it?

Wang Dashan was sweeping the floor, and Su He's father was hanging out his bedding to dry. He hadn't come for such a long time, so the bedding needed some fresh air. Su He was boiling water, preparing to clean the kitchen and the house.

Wang Dashan went to open the door. Su He's father and Su He stopped and stood in the yard to see who it was.

Wang Dashan opened the door and saw that he didn't recognize the person, so he asked politely, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

The servant-like man said, "Is this the Su family? We are looking for the master of the Su family. My master is the manager of Wanfuju, and I want to discuss something with your master."

Wang Dashan saw that they were looking for his master, so he invited them in. The servants went to the door and whispered to Qian to get out of the car. He bowed his head and stepped on the bench placed by the servant to get out of the car. After getting out of the car, he brushed the light wrinkles of his clothes with his sleeves, then raised his head and walked towards the Su family with square steps.

Of course, Su He's father also heard their conversation and asked Su He to clean up the big house. Su He took a rag and cleaned the table and chairs. When they came in, Su He had already cleaned up and left.

Su He's father invited them to sit down, and Qian the shopkeeper sat to Su He's father's right, while the other servants stood behind him. Wang Dashan also followed their example and stood behind Su He's father, not wanting to embarrass his master.

After sitting down, Shopkeeper Qian got straight to the point and asked, "Brother Su, please forgive me for coming uninvited. I came here mainly for the recipes. Could you please sell us a few? The price is negotiable."
