Jiang Anning was really shocked.

Three or four hours?
Doesn't that mean most of the day is wasted waiting here?
Stepmother said "hmm".

"Things that are rare are valuable."

"This is the truth that our ancestors learned from their experience and lessons."

Seeing that Jiang An Ning was still confused, Wan Niang covered her mouth and laughed twice, explaining to others: "Although our food is simple and quick to make, who among the people who come here to eat is in a hurry?"

"If you make this thing for them too quickly, they will complain that your quality is not good enough."

"But if you ask him to wait a little longer, and wait until the time is right before you stew a bowl of bird's nest for them, they will think that this bowl of bird's nest is particularly special."

Jiang Anning's mouth twitched slightly.

"Here's nonsense."

She said that what Wanniang said was heresy, but she couldn't help but agree with it in her heart.

only……

"After all this talk, you still haven't told me what this thing is and how you got it?"

Jiang Anning was very skeptical about the safety of this thing.

Wanniang blinked and said frankly: "Jiang Qingqing gave it to me. She said it was passed down from her master."

Jiang Anning's eyes widened instantly.

She knew it! !
This sounds like a matter of selling fake medicine, and it must be related to that mysterious girl.

"No, you can't sell this anymore!"

Jiang An Ning didn't even think twice and sternly stopped Wan Niang from doing this business.

"why?"

Stepmother opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Anning in confusion.

"The business of Taotie Restaurant is booming now!"

"How can you just say you won't do it?"

She raised her chin towards the door and said, "Do you know why there are still so many people coming downstairs to eat even though Taotie Lou only sells five servings of this health food every day and the waiting list is already booked until March next year?"

“Because their real purpose is not to come and eat.”

“Maybe some of them came here for food.”

“But it’s definitely not the majority.”

"Most of them are just waiting to see the five health products they purchased."

"That's a big shot that they may not be able to see no matter how hard they try!"

"It is because of this that Taotielou's business will get better and better."

"Even if we don't count the five servings of health products sold every day, the people who come and go to eat here every day already have a revenue of over a thousand taels of silver!"

"Do you know what this means in Jiang'an County?"

"Now, even if I say that I am the richest man in Jiang'an County, few people dare to refute me loudly."

"And all of this will be your financial guarantee for going to the capital in the future!"

"Poor family, rich road, how can you go out and make a living without any money?"

Wanniang really couldn't understand why Jiang Anning repeatedly opposed her and belittled her running of Taotie Tower.

"I opened this Taotie Building not just for myself."

She did it more for Jiang An Ning!
She wants to be Jiang Anning's biggest financial support!

This is the only thing she can do to repay Jiang Anning!

It was Jiang Anning who pulled her out of the quagmire.

She remembers it!
She always remembers it!

But she didn't understand, she really couldn't understand.

Jiang Anning's face was full of indifference.

She said in a deep voice: "Then let me ask you, do you know what this thing is that can make people rejuvenated and stay young forever? What are its ingredients? What are the side effects? What kind of harm will it bring to the human body?"

"If something goes wrong with the food..."

Wan Niang refuted: "What's the problem? What could be the problem?"

“Everyone has tried it and they all think it works very well.”

"Why do you have to pour cold water on me?"

"What's wrong with always thinking about this thing?"

Jiang Anning pursed her lips.

“Birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of nature.”

"A person has aged normally, but becomes younger again because of a certain food or medicine."

"Don't you think this sounds ridiculous?"

"Where is it ridiculous?"

The stepmother frowned and said angrily, "Before those men have sex, they will take a lot of tonics. Usually, they hear that things that can strengthen the yang and nourish the kidneys are more attractive to them than seeing their own mothers! They don't think it's ridiculous, why do you think it's ridiculous when I sell a tonic?"

"What's more, those men keep saying that the things that can nourish the kidneys and strengthen the yang may actually be useless and may even make the body too weak to be nourished...Aren't those who sell yang-strengthening drugs doing just fine?"

"Compared to them, at least the things I sell are authentic, effective and guaranteed."

"Everyone can see the effect of this thing."

Jiang Anning looked at her stepmother for a long time and sighed helplessly.

"So, what exactly is it that you put into the bird's nest as a tonic?"

Being questioned again, Wanniang felt guilty for a moment.

"You said this thing has the effect of reversing aging and keeping youth forever."

"But I see that most of the people coming and going here are men."

"And you just mentioned that men are more superstitious about things like strengthening virility and nourishing the kidneys."

"If I'm not mistaken, your bird's nest, in addition to its ability to keep you young and youthful, actually has the ability to restore your virility."

Wanniang stopped talking.

"You also said that the people who came downstairs to eat were mostly waiting to see the person who bought the five health products."

"The person who bought these five health products is a big shot that they may not be able to meet no matter how hard they try!"

"But what kind of place is Jiang'an County?"

"It's a remote, desolate place with no one around."

"The biggest figure who ever appeared was probably the county magistrate."

"Where are the other big shots?"

"Unless, these big shots all came here from other places because of their fame."

"With today's transportation standards, a round trip to a place a little further away would take at least three days."

"What kind of big shot has so much time to come all the way to Jiang'an County just to drink a bowl of bird's nest?"

Jiang Anning sneered: "So the people who come here to buy things are most likely servants of those big shots."

"How can a servant be worth so many people coming here to wait and see him in person?"

"unless……"

Jiang An Ning paused slightly, and seeing that Stepmother was obviously guilty, he became more and more certain of his guess.

She chuckled twice: "Unless, the identities of the people behind these visitors are extraordinary."

"As the saying goes, the prime minister is a seventh-rank official."

"Xiao Lai is no ordinary servant, as he is worthy of traveling thousands of miles to meet a servant in such a small county restaurant."

Wanniang's eyes dodged: "As long as we enter the door, we are all guests. What's the point of saying ordinary or extraordinary..."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Jiang An Ning asked again. Wan Niang took a few steps back, twisted her handkerchief with her fingers, lowered her head and said nothing.

"Since you don't deny it, those who came here are servants from some big shots thousands of miles away."

"Then I will be even more curious."

"What kind of bird's nest can withstand such bumps? What kind of bird's nest can be cooked and transported on the road for several days and still be edible? And not go bad?"

"With preservatives?"

Jiang Anning once read in her mother's notes that there are a lot of preservatives in this world.

The most amazing thing among them is the one that can preserve food without spoiling for one or two years.

But A Niang also said that this kind of thing often contains a lot of preservatives.

Don't eat it. It's very harmful to your health.

Wanniang lowered her head, twisted her handkerchief, and was unable to speak.

"Did Jiang Qingqing instruct you?" Jiang An Ning asked again.

Wanniang shook her head: "No..."

"Who is that?"

Wanniang stopped talking again.

Jiang Anning simply stopped asking, stood up, glanced at the man and said, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it."

"I won't ask any more questions."

"From now on, you and I will go our separate ways. May we live our own lives!"

Wan Niang looked at him in disbelief, feeling hurt and aggrieved: "You don't want me anymore?"

Jiang Anning:...

What words!

What words!

It seems as if there is some shameful relationship between the two of them!

She simply rolled her eyes at him.

Then he said in a serious voice, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "I will redeem you, and you will kill Zhao Yuanshan for me. The deal between us is done."

"You can also say that we owe nothing to each other."

"There is no such thing as who wants who and who doesn't want who."

"Don't think so wildly."

Jiang Anning was about to leave after saying this.

Wanniang chased after him and held his hand: "Don't leave."

"I already took your last name."

"Then I'm yours."

"In my heart, no one is more important than you."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and she even acted like a rogue: "Anyway, anyway, I am yours now! It was you who redeemed me, whether you admit it or not."

She pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved, and her eyes turned red.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you."

“I just don’t know what to say.”

It said that she was just blind and fell in love with a man, but the man just used her and had no feelings for her at all, but she was so foolish as to give him her heart?
But seeing that Jiang An Ning didn't seem to be joking with her, Wan Niang became scared.

"do not go."

"You are all I have now..."

She sobbed a few times: "I, I, I am, it's because of Wang Shang."

"Who?"

Jiang Anning was really a little surprised.

"Wang Shang."

Wanniang said it again.

This time, Jiang Anning was really shocked.

She thought of many possibilities, especially suspecting Jiang Qingqing.

But he never expected that he would hear the name Wang Shang from his stepmother's mouth.

"How do you know..." Wang Shang?

Before Jiang An Ning could finish the rest of the words, she suddenly thought of the roasted melon seeds chef who was spotted by Song Yao in the houseboat.

At that time, the person who bought the painting studio looked like a beautiful woman.

In fact, the person who really gave the orders was most likely Wang Shang, who was disguised as a roasted melon seeds chef.

"he……"

Jiang Anning wanted to ask why her stepmother suddenly started working for Wang Shang.

I haven't figured out how to phrase it yet.

Wan Niang choked up and said, "I like him."

What the hell? ? ?

Jiang Anning widened her eyes and looked at her stepmother in disbelief.

"I like Wang Shang."

"I pursued him boldly on the pleasure boat at that time."

Wan Niang smiled self-deprecatingly: "You must think I'm stupid, right?"

"I feel the same way."

"A person like me, with my background, as lowly as the dust on the ground, actually dares to aspire to be in the sky."

"So it's no surprise that I was rejected by him."

“But I’m not willing to give up.”

"I also know that I am stupid and ridiculous."

"But I just like him."

"I have never seen a gentleman as humble, polite and upright as him."

“He’s so nice.”

"real!"

"He is like a cold and deposed immortal who looks down upon the common people from the nine heavens."

"Just looking at it makes people feel blasphemous."

"Although he rejected me later, he told me about Taotie Tower."

Jiang Anning frowned: "Did he tell you about Taotie Tower?"

"Yes!"

Wanniang smiled sadly: "It was he who told me that the original owner of Taotie Restaurant couldn't afford to run the restaurant because of poor management, so he wanted to sell it at a low price."

"He also said that he was able to learn the news in advance because he had a very good relationship with the former owner of Taotie Tower."

"As of now, no one outside knows that the former owner of Taotie Restaurant wants to transfer the restaurant at a low price."

"He said if I wanted to start my own business and no longer depend on anyone for survival, I could buy this restaurant and make it bigger and stronger."

Jiang Anning frowned: "He..."

"But he probably doesn't know that the previous owner of Taotie Tower had a manager who was once my patron."

Wanniang laughed self-deprecatingly: "He told me why the previous owner of Taotie Restaurant wanted to transfer the restaurant at a low price."

She told Jiang An Ning in detail about Wang Shang's plan in a mocking tone.

"Since you know that Wang Shang is plotting against you, why do you still..." Jump into the pit and climb down the Taotie Tower?
Jiang Anning didn't have time to finish his questioning words.

Wan Niang then said self-deprecatingly: "I like him!"

"I want to be closer to him in this way."

"Even though I know all this is just self-deception."

“But I did it anyway.”

"Isn't it ridiculous?"

Jiang Anning really didn't know what to say.

"It was just a coincidence later."

"Jiang Qingqing found me and said that she could provide me with a signature supplement that can make people rejuvenate and stay young forever."

"I thought that since I had already bought Taotie Mansion, I might as well run it well."

“You never know if you can really make money.”

Jiang Anning frowned slightly, not quite understanding what the relationship was between these two things.
Wang Shang is not a good person.

Jiang Qingqing is not necessarily a good person.

"You may want to ask, why did Wang Shang trick me into buying Taotie Tower?"

Wan Niang smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know either."

“I have never understood this man.”

"But I guess it has something to do with you."

Jiang Anning was surprised: "Does it have anything to do with me?"
