Because there was a mysterious boss standing behind Zhao Qi, the prefect of Qingyuan, Wu Qian.

It was Wu Qian's arrival that helped Zhao Qi completely reverse the dilemma of Xiaolongwan Harbor, and also completely made Yang Anping, a village chief who was good at changing the situation with the wind, completely making it difficult for him to be out of the world.

In order to make up for his mistakes, Zhao Qi and others consulted him about the construction of the mountain temple this time. Yang Anping patted his chest and expressed his full support, and he also donated 50 jin of money. Yang Changshan, the eldest son of Yang Anping who works in the canal transportation office, also went to Xiaolongwan Port to find Zhao Qi and Liu, saying that after the harbor is repaired, he will definitely support the development of Xiaolongwan and arrange many canal ships to dock and load and unload.

Zhao Qi naturally knew that after discussing with Yang Dahu, Shopkeeper Liu and others, he sold a shop in the core area to Yang Anping for a low price of 20,000 yuan. This made Yang Anping cry happily for several days, and when he saw Zhao Qi's eyes turned red.

Because this shop is almost the best street-facing area in the core area, according to the price reference of other parts of the core area, even if Yang Anping sells 30,000 yuan, countless people will snatch it. Moreover, after five or ten years, this property will appreciate five times or even ten times. Compared with the previous method of investing and dividends, it is obvious that Yang Anping has made a lot of money.

Therefore, Yang Anping was completely impressed by Zhao Qi's tolerance this time. No matter what Zhao Qi called for, Yang Anping's village was the most proactive, and his three sons and three daughters-in-law also supported him fully, saying that the old man must hold Zhao Qi's thighs tightly this time and did not let go. In the future, the turtle was eating a weight and was determined to make money with Zhao Qi.

After Zhao Qi dealt with Yang Anping, the entire Maowan Village was almost tied to him.

With the firm support of the villagers, people will help you run errands in many things in the future. The relationship between this neighborhood and fellow villagers is much safer than hiring some people who don’t know from outside.

Now, more than a dozen little beggars have been adopted. Although these children are young, they are all grateful to Zhao Qi. Especially Xiao Wu. Although she looks a little cold on weekdays, she will strictly enforce anything Zhao Qi said. A group of children are very obedient and work very diligently. They rush to do anything as long as they give instructions. With the continuous teaching of Mrs. Su and A Lian Xiaozhu, these children now regard themselves as servants of Zhao Qi's family, growing vegetables, raising chickens, washing, cooking, cleaning houses, running errands, shopping, and feeding horses, etc. Although they spend a lot of money on food, clothing, housing and consumption, overall, it has greatly improved the situation of Zhao Qi's family.

Xiaozhu doesn't have to be as busy as before and can't stop. She runs in and out all day long to wash clothes, cook, cook, and wash vegetables. She only needs to shout these things, and a group of children can do it in an instant, and A Lian is much more relaxed. Except for cooking, the rest of the things are almost patiently teaching these children how to do housework well.

Old Mrs. Su has also changed a lot. In addition to strictly teaching these children to abide by the rules, she also let two smart and flexible children be the heads of the charge, paying three to five hundred cents more than other children every month, so as to start cultivating the concept of superiority and inferiority of these children, and even teach these children to read and calculate when they have time.

Although it has been almost a month since Xiaowu and others came to Zhao Qi's house, everyone's spirit has undergone earth-shaking changes.

But the only thing that hasn't changed much is Xiao Wu.

This group of sixteen children, both men and women, all changed into clean and tidy clothes. Most of them were girls, and there were only six boys. But only Xiaowu didn't like to wear skirts and dress up and dress up. He wore a set of boys' clothes all day, tied his hair with a ponytail, and walked with Zhao Qi. Others thought they were two brothers.

At present, a group of children live a prosperous and happy life in Zhao Qi's family, and they also regard Zhao Qi as their own boss. Zhao Qi also gave each of these children a name to distinguish them.

The man called Lai Fu, Fa Qian, Shuangxi, Dawang, Dali, etc. The girl called Chunxiang Qiuxiang Plum, Lan, Bamboo and chrysanthemum, etc. Anyway, these are the standard subordination names of wealthy families. If you shout Ah Fu on the bustling streets, you will probably have a large group of people agree.

In a hurry, I got home in a blink of an eye.

Still far away, Zhao Qi saw a luxurious four-wheeled carriage parked in the open space piled with building materials and stones in front of his cave, and two horses were tied to a big tree on the side of the road to eat grass.

In addition to driving the carriage, there are also a group of burly men carrying kilns guarding around the broken kiln.

An old man wearing a casual outfit, tied a silk ribbon on his waist, and wearing a Dongpo towel was standing at the entrance of the cave and chatting with Mrs. Su, while watching a group of craftsmen building a house.

Why did this old man Wu come to my house for free?

Although Zhao Qi was full of suspicion, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face and bowed:

"Donald Chongguo is here, so he doesn't say hello in advance so that the boy can be prepared!"

"Haha, my dear nephew is back!" Wu Qian saw Zhao Qi and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"I'm really sorry, I'm not welcomed you, please forgive me!"

"It's okay, I'm bored today, so I'm here to see my nephew's house!" Wu Qian waved his hand with a smile.

"It's hot outside, please go to the cave to have a tea and rest, please!"

"You are not polite, please~"

The old and the young walked into the cave with a few greetings, but saw a beautiful girl sitting under the pergola and Xiao Zhu were talking under the pergola. Zhao Qi was slightly stunned for a moment and hurried forward to say hello.

"So Miss Yuechan is here too!"

"Yuechan has seen Mr. Zhao!" The girl's cheeks were slightly red and her hair stood up and saluted.

"I heard that I am coming to my nephew's place, Qing'er also wants to come with me to relax. She came here and asked my nephew not to be surprised!" Wu Qian said with a smile around looking at the situation inside the cave.

"Duke Chongguo and Miss Yuechan are distinguished guests. You can't even ask for it. How could you see a strange thing? Please sit down!" Zhao Qi quickly invited the two of them to take a seat and asked Xiaozhu to cook water and make tea.

"Young master, the teacup has been washed, Sister A Lian is boiling water, the grandmother told me to take care of Sister Qing'er!" Xiaozhu answered quickly.

"Well, go and see if the fire is done. Don't let Duke Chongguo and Miss Yuechan wait for a long time!" Zhao Qi nodded, Xiaozhu hurried to watch the fire. Old Mrs. Su also followed her in with a crutch. The four of them sat under the pergola and chatted. A few minutes later, A Lian came over with a pot of boiling water, and Xiaozhu also brought four tea cups and grinded tea powder on a wooden plate.

The old woman stood up and made tea herself. Soon a cup of steaming and whispering tea with clouds and mist patterns was placed in front of Wu Qian, which only widened Wu Qian's eyes in surprise.

"Mrs. Su's tea skills are amazing, and they really open my eyes!" Wu Qian stared at the tea cup, and he couldn't help but sigh loudly after the patterns inside slowly dissipated.

"How dare I praise Duke Chongguo. When the young woman was young, she also worked as a maid in a wealthy family and learned some tea art. She hasn't ordered tea for decades and her skills are already unfamiliar. Duke Chongguo will just drink a cup. Come on, the young lady will also taste the old woman's craftsmanship..."

Old Mrs. Su put the second cup of tea in front of the girl.

"Thank you grandma!" The girl quickly stood up and saluted.

"Don't use it, I am an old woman in the countryside, not worth thanking!" Old Mrs. Su said as she ordered two more cups of tea, sat with Wu Qian and then stood up and said, "Qi'er chatted with Duke Chong. The old woman asked someone to go to the town to buy some wine and food. You can have a good drink with Duke Gong later!"

"Madam Su, don't be polite. I just come to chat with my nephew for a few words and leave!" Wu Qian waved his hand and said politely. Old Mrs. Su left with a crutch. The girl also took a few sips of tea and stood up and said, "Grandpa, I'm going out to play with my sister Xiaozhu!"

"Well, go, don't go far!" Wu Qian nodded.

"Sister Qing'er, I'll take you to see something fun!" Xiaozhu happily pulled the girl out of the cave.
