The Tang family.

Tang Dengping rushed home after selling the ice cream bars. He went straight to see his mother and hurriedly said, “Mother, I saw Elder Brother.”

Zhang Xiuqin was washing clothes. When she heard this, she was stunned. “Where did you see him?”

“At the entrance of our village.” Tang Dengping saw that his mother didn’t seem to know, so he asked hesitantly, “Didn’t he come home?”

Zhang Xiuqin continued to wash the clothes and said indifferently, “No, I didn’t see him.”

Tang Dengping was puzzled. “Why didn’t he come back?”

Zhang Xiuqin didn’t like Tang Jinghong. It would be best if he never came back. “It’s good that he didn’t come back. Sell the ice cream bars to earn money. When you save enough money, I’ll find a wife for you.”

Tang Dengping couldn’t help but feel smug. He had a mother, but Tang Jinghong didn’t, so no matter what, he had his mother to worry about him and help. Tang Jinghong could only be chased out of the house.

“Mother, are you really not going to care about Elder Brother? If I marry before he gets married, others will gossip, right?”

Zhang Xiuqin threw away the clothes and said angrily, “Who dares to gossip? If anyone gossips, I’ll get them to marry Tang Jinghong.”

Tang Dengping laughed. “Mother, that’s a good idea.”

Zhang Xiuqin said in a low voice, “Listen to me. In the future, pretend that you don’t know him when you see Tang Jinghong. No matter what happens to him, it has nothing to do with you.”

At the same time, she cursed in her heart. He was lazy and deserved to be alone.

Tang Dengping said proudly, “When I saw him today, I pretended not to see him. He wanted to talk to me, but when he opened his mouth, I ran away.” He suddenly felt that Tang Jinghong was very pitiful, like a stray dog.

Zhang Xiuqin waved her hand. “It’s fine. Anyway, your father is on our side.”

“Yes.” Tang Dengping nodded. “By the way, Mother, it’s almost the Dragon Boat Festival. Do you want to call Tang Jinghong home for dinner?” He no longer called Tang Jinghong Elder Brother!

Zhang Xiuqin frowned. “Why should we call him back? He’ll only eat our food when he comes back.”

Tang Dengping agreed and nodded. “I understand, Mother.”

The young general came to pick up the ice cream bars again. This time, there were 10,000 pieces.

After Chu Qingzhi sent the convoy off, she went to the wasteland. Then, she found ten strong villagers to help her get rid of the weeds on the wasteland and the mountain.

The mountain looked like it occupied ten acres of land. There were no trees.

She planned to use it to grow precious herbs.

There was no need to plant too many. Just twenty types would do.

Before that, she needed to collect herb seeds.

However, this was not urgent. She had to build the house first.

In the afternoon, Chu Xuhua rushed to the wasteland. “Fifth Sister, I brought back a boss. He said that he has something to discuss with you.”

Chu Qingzhi was cutting grass with a sickle. When she heard this, she stood up. “Boss?”

Chu Xuhua said excitedly, “Yes, he’s the boss of a restaurant.”

“Let’s go.” Chu Qingzhi placed the sickle on the ground and walked home with Chu Xuhua. “Brother, when we discuss business later, stay and listen. Try to learn as much as possible. In the future, you have to discuss business yourself. Do you understand what I mean?”

Chu Xuhua was slightly stunned. “Fifth Sister, what do you mean?”

“What I mean is that I’ll hand over these businesses to you in the future.” Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Brother, you can’t keep me at home for the rest of my life, right?”

Chu Xuhua had never thought of taking over the business. When he suddenly heard this, he panicked and quickly refused. “No, no, no. Fifth Sister, even if you get married, these businesses will still be yours. Your brothers and sisters will help you.”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Chu Xuhua and smiled. “Brother, you don’t have to be nervous. Even if I give you the businesses, you can still give me dividends, right?”

Chu Xuhua shook his head. “Fifth Sister, I know very well what I’m capable of. I’m not cut out for business.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself that her brother really didn’t realize his potential.

Since the beginning, Chu Xuhua had displayed great interest in doing business.

When he was doing things, as long as he was the person in charge, he would arrange it in an orderly manner. He was extremely efficient and had never made any mistakes.

The ideas he came up with were also very pragmatic and effective. If something unexpected happened, he would immediately find a solution.

If he was nurtured well, he would definitely be a business genius.

“Brother, no matter what, you have to do what I want you to do seriously.” She only wanted to slack off. She had cultivated for hundreds of years without stopping and was too tired.

Chu Xuhua nodded solemnly. “I’ll do my best.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded.

Walking into the central room, Chu Qingzhi saw a fat middle-aged man dressed in expensive clothes sitting on a chair and eating an ice cream bar with a look of enjoyment.

Shen Ruyue accompanied the guest at the side. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

When she saw Chu Qingzhi return, she immediately stood up and introduced the fat middle-aged man to her. “Qingzhi, this is Shopkeeper Zhou from Fuyuan Restaurant in the county city. He’s looking for you for something.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded at Shen Ruyue.

When Shopkeeper Zhou saw Chu Qingzhi, his sparkling eyes revealed obvious surprise. This was a little girl. How could she make something like ice cream bars?

However, he still bowed. “Greetings, Miss Chu.”

Chu Qingzhi said politely, “Shopkeeper Zhou, please sit. Let’s talk slowly.”

Shopkeeper Zhou sat back in his chair and said with a smile, “Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi gave Shen Ruyue and Chu Xuhua a look and asked them to sit down and listen. Then, she said to Shopkeeper Zhou, “Shopkeeper Zhou, we’re all straightforward people. If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Alright, I like Miss Chu’s personality.” Shopkeeper Zhou rubbed his hands and said excitedly, “Then I’ll be straightforward. Miss Chu, can you tailor-make some ice cream bars for me?”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “How do you want me to tailor-make it?”

Shopkeeper Zhou described, “For example, make some special shapes. It doesn’t have to be too big, but it has to be more exquisite. It will be provided to the esteemed guests who came to the restaurant to eat.”

Chu Qingzhi said patiently, “Shopkeeper Zhou, please tell me in detail. What’s the special shape?”

Shopkeeper Zhou thought for a moment. “How about this? Make ice cream bars the shape of twelve zodiac signs. I’ll give you five taels of silver for a set of twelve zodiac signs.”

Chu Qingzhi had no reason to refuse this business. “Sure, but Boss Zhou, you can’t sell the ice cream bars to outsiders. You can only sell it in your restaurant. We can provide you with a hundred sets every day. What do you think?”

Shopkeeper Zhou agreed. “No problem, but Miss Chu, there is another problem.”

Chu Qingzhi said politely, “Shopkeeper Zhou, please speak.”

This was what troubled Shopkeeper Zhou the most. “Miss Chu, do you have a way to stop the ice cream bar from melting? I don’t have ice storage here, so…”

Chu Qingzhi smiled faintly and said, “I’ll help you deal with this problem.”

Shopkeeper Zhou was overjoyed. “That’s great.”

Then, the two of them discussed some details and signed a contract. After that, Shopkeeper Zhou returned in satisfaction..
