I was killed by domestic violence, and I went crazy with barrage

Chapter 270 To be determined
"You, you are just going to piss me off!"

Wanniang glared at the man, feeling that her kindness was being taken for granted.

After being angry for a while, I calmed down.

She said earnestly, "What kind of place is the capital? The imperial city under the feet of the emperor, how can it be such a good place to go?"

"You are poor but rich. You have to make plans when you go to such a far place!"

"When you go there, will they arrange accommodation for you?"

"If they don't arrange a place for you, will you have to find a place to live on your own?"

"If someone arranges it for you, you will have to spend money to arrange things so that they won't secretly make trouble for you."

"When someone cheats you, you won't even know how you got cheated."

Wanniang snorted: "As the old saying goes, it's easy to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little ghosts."

"You are not polite and try to get along well with others. When you find yourself in a place where you are unfamiliar with the people and the relationships are complicated, what if those black-hearted people make up some bad things about you in front of the nobles, leaving them with a bad impression of you? Or, they make up stories about you being a follower of this person or a loyal one of that person, and you inexplicably cause them to bear hatred for you. You will be harmed, and you won't even know how you were harmed?"

Jiang An Ning curled her lips, not caring about what her stepmother said: "If the little devil really wanted to harm me, if the black-hearted guy really wanted to slander me, why would he not make things difficult for me just because I was nice to him and gave him benefits?"

Could it be that she wasn't good enough to Zhao Hai's family?
But the result?

Who else is grateful for her kindness?

Not to mention gratitude, there was not even any mercy.

In her previous life, when Zhao Hai was beating her to death, did he hesitate for a moment, remembering the benefits she had brought to their family?
No!

"But it's never wrong to greet people with a smile! If you don't try to build good relationships with people first and bribe them with gold and silver, how do you know that you can't avoid risks?"

"Isn't there an old saying? Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Money makes the world go round!"

Wanniang was justified.

Jiang Anning was more confident than her: "The person who wants to beat you up won't show mercy to you just because you smile at him."

"On the contrary, it is very likely that because you smile at him, flatter him, and kowtow to him, he will become even more aggressive and wantonly bully and humiliate you! People always bully the weak and fear the strong."

Wanniang was speechless and couldn't say anything to refute for a long time.

In the end, he could only grunt and utter, "You are just making up excuses."

Jiang An Ning looked at her and made her raise her hands in surrender.

"Okay, okay, even if what you said makes sense."

"Well, even if you don't consider accommodation, arranging things for you, giving gifts and favors, you still have to consider food, right? Do you have to buy new clothes for all four seasons when you get there?"

"What's the climate like over there? Is it colder or hotter than in Jiang'an County?"

“You have to consider these, right?”

"Besides, if you need to worry about food and accommodation, the rent will be a huge expense, right?"

"After you went to the capital, did you get paid for working for others? Did you only have a good reputation, or did they pay you a monthly salary?"

"This wasn't made clear at the beginning, was it?"

"What if they don't give me the money?"

"You have to worry about more things and spend more money, right?"

"I have asked the passing ship merchants. In the winter, people in the capital need to burn charcoal to keep warm. Otherwise, the bone-chilling north wind and the heavy snow will freeze people to death!"

"You can't resist the cold just by wearing two thick layers of clothes!"

"Not to mention anything else, just the money for buying charcoal is a huge expense."

"They also said that in the summer, the heat there is unbearable. If you don't put some ice in the house to cool it down, it will be too hot to stay in."

"The money for buying ice is a huge expense."

"And I also heard that this ice is not something that ordinary people can afford."

"If you want to buy it as an ordinary person, you have to pay a higher price."

Wan Niang glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Every penny of this is a big expense."

"Do you know how long you will be away?"

"One year and half a year?"

"Or three to five years?"

"Even if you have some savings now and you have the ability to make a lot of money, if the money only comes in but never goes out, then even if it's a mountain of gold and silver, it will be spent sooner or later, right?"

Wan Niang snorted: "When the time comes, you'll have no money left, but you still can't leave. How are you going to live there?"

Jiang Anning hummed, which seemed to indicate that she was in agreement, but...

"But what does this have to do with you opening the Taotie Tower?"

It wasn't that she wanted to make sarcastic remarks, nor was it that she looked down on her stepmother.

The truth is, in a small place like Jiang'an County, the revenue from running a restaurant is really not that good.

It’s not that I lost money, but that amount of money was not even as high as the five-color embroidered handkerchief sold by Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop.

What can I do?
You can't possibly want to open the Taotie Tower in the capital, right?
...Even if I really have to pay compensation, I will have to spend a lot of money to handle it.

Jiang Anning felt that she was telling the truth.

Unexpectedly, he stepped on Stepmother's tail and was so angry that he glared at her.

If that look contained murderous intent, Jiang An Ning would have been torn into pieces by her stepmother's eyes.

"That's why I say you are such a heartless person."

"What else could I be doing this for?"

"Of course it's to make money and pay for your travel expenses!"

"It's not good to ask you to go to the capital empty-handed. No matter where you go, if you encounter something that requires money, you will be short of money."

Jiang Anning touched his nose and was embarrassed to say how much money such a small restaurant could make.

Just being able to make ends meet is already a great achievement, right?
Unexpectedly, I was caught.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Wanniang pinched her waist and glared at him: "Don't you think that my small restaurant can't make much money?"

"It's not that I didn't have it, don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Anning quickly waved his hand to reject it.

She is really afraid of people.

It’s not that Stepmother is so fierce... On the contrary, if Stepmother is really fierce, a tigress, she wouldn’t necessarily be that scared.

She has experienced people who are sarcastic and speak viciously.

Even if you don't curse back, you have already learned to let it go in one ear and out the other.

But that's not the case with Stepmother.

Wan Niang is the type of person who, once you make her angry, will say nothing. She will just sit there and look at you in silence, then shed tears silently.

When a beautiful woman sheds tears, I feel pity for her.

There is something that Wanniang said, which is not really self-praise.

She is really beautiful.

Especially when her eyes were filled with tears and she was about to cry but didn't know what to cry, that little look was simply amazing... As a woman, she often couldn't help but feel moved when she saw it.

It is so beautiful that one can't help but feel pity for her.

She couldn't stand it.

"You are obviously feeling guilty! You are just trying to make excuses!" Wan Niang snorted and was about to burst into tears.

Jiang Anning quickly raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, then tell me, how much is the daily revenue of this restaurant?"

"This number!" Wanniang's face turned from gloomy to bright. She stretched out her hand, with a little pride that she couldn't suppress.

Jiang Anning counted the five fingers of the man and said uncertainly, "Five taels?"

Wan Niang immediately rolled her eyes at her: "What do you mean five taels?"

"Look at you, you look like you've never seen the world before!"

Jiang Anning blinked her eyes: "What about the fifty taels?"

To be fair, being able to maintain a daily revenue of fifty taels can indeed be considered a very good profit.

Unexpectedly, Stepmother still glared at her.

"Take a bold guess!"

Jiang Anning blinked and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "Could it be five hundred taels?"

If that's true, it would be really amazing.

But this is not very realistic, right?

In a small place like Jiang'an County, how could a restaurant's daily revenue be 500 taels?

Even in a place like a painted boat or a brothel, where people often spend huge amounts of money, it is hard to say that the daily revenue can reach five hundred taels, right?

Let’s put it this way, five hundred taels was all the expenses she gave to the Zhao family, including the additional expenses for the subsequent addition of new members, a total of nine people, for six years.

It's enough to feed a person until he's slippery and oily.

In a small place like theirs, a family of five can live very well if they have an income of two taels of silver a year.

Five hundred taels... He could almost be considered a wealthy man.

Of course, this is only the case in their remote and desolate place.

She heard that in those lands of plenty, earning 100,000 silver coins a year was a very common thing.

Unexpectedly, Stepmother still shook her head.

"You can guess more confidently."

Wan Niang's proud little face was full of complacency, as if she were a proud cat. Even when asking for praise, she held her head high and chest puffed out, looking down on others.

"I can't be any bolder about this."

Jiang Anning glanced at the man and asked, "What did you do? Did you steal money?"

"I have a rough idea of ​​the consumption level in Jiang'an County."

"Even if I didn't count before, after running Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop for half a year, I should have a rough idea of ​​the number."

"What kind of people come to eat here every day and can bring you a revenue of 500 taels... What are they eating? Braised bear paws? Flying dragon stewed with hazel mushrooms?"

As Jiang Anning spoke, she was somewhat speechless.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "Even if it's delicacies from land and sea, it's not necessary to make so much money every day."

Wanniang grumbled, very unhappy: "You are such a boring person."

"Then why can't I make five thousand taels a day?"

Jiang Anning actually felt that what Stepmother said did not sound like a joke.

"You are not telling me the truth, are you?"

It looks real, not fake at all.

Do you have to be so scary?

"No... What on earth do you sell in this restaurant?"

"It's not necessary to kill primitive people now!"

Even if a divine dragon appeared in the world and was killed on the spot, it wouldn't be able to demand such a high price, right?
Jiang Anning was really curious.

"What? Did you drug them?"

Thinking of a certain possibility, Jiang Anning's expression became serious.

She looked around, trying to see if there were any other places in the restaurant that might hold hidden secrets.

But after looking at it again and again, I couldn't see anything wrong.

"What drug?"

Wan Niang glared at him and said, "Can't you think of me better? Or am I just a despicable person in your eyes?"

The following words already sounded a bit angry.

It was infuriating that people didn't believe her.

Jiang Anning shook her head.

"Of course I trust your character, but..."

We have to be realistic!

No matter how much you believe it, you can't imagine how this restaurant manages to have a daily revenue of 5,000 taels.

You can’t do this even if you sell gold, right?

Even if you rob the rich people in the city and take away all their valuables, you may not be able to collect five thousand taels of silver.

That's a lot of money!

You can even buy a street in Jiang'an County!
How rare must the things you sell be to earn enough money to buy an entire street in one day?

This is probably what it means to make a fortune every day.

"So you tricked people into selling fake medicine?"

Jiang Anning thought about it and felt that this was the biggest possibility.

She had also heard that some charlatans would often exaggerate and claim that the things they sold could prolong life, and that if people ate them, they would live a hundred years without illness or disaster.

At worst, it can also strengthen your body.

In fact, it's useless.

But unfortunately, too many people believe in such overly beautiful wishes.

They spend huge sums of money on those so-called medicinal recipes that can prolong life, strengthen the body, or even panaceas.

In the words of the barrage, it means selling health products.

Even this thing may not necessarily help people to eat well, prolong their life, or keep their body strong.

On the contrary, it is very likely to make people sick, die, or suffer from illness.

When people die, they may not realize that what really cost them their lives were those panaceas and tonic products that claimed to make them immortal and increase longevity and health.

Jiang Anning suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be that Jiang Qingqing that girl asked you to sell these scam items?"

Yes, yes, that must be it.

The more Jiang Anning thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

Jiang Qingqing has always been mysterious. When he first met her, he said he would put a Gu on her. As a result, the insect was scared to death by some Gu King in her body.

"Don't believe the nonsense she made up! They're all lies!"

"If there really is a way to achieve immortality in this world, it would have long been collected by those dignitaries who pursue immortality and kept it in their homes, hiding it and monopolizing it from the source."

"How could it be spread to you and me, so that we could know about it?"

"If it really gets out, it's definitely not a legitimate method. It's either a scam or a life-threatening one. It might even trick you into making a sacrificial offering for some crooked and evil magic. It can't be a good thing."

Stepmother was stunned by Jiang Anning's rapid lecture.

It took him a while to come back to his senses. He couldn't help but chuckle, and then he couldn't help laughing.
