Chapter 184 - 184: Lucky Opening
After Heng Yi killed Tu Wausau, Tu Wansan1 s bandit brothers were all stunned. Some of them even wet their pants.
This was the first time they had encountered such viciousness against them.
The people that Tu Wansan brought with him were either killed or hacked to death. In short, none of them came our unscathed. A long line of people had their hands tied up with hemp ropes.
After confirming that Tu Wansan had been executed, Heng Yi wanted to go home.
“Big Brother, you have to go with them this time because of your great contribution.”
“I’ll go back with Shopkeeper Zhu first.”
Heng Yi really didn’t know society’s twists and turns.
However, Bai Cha was doing this for his own good. He also wanted to make a contribution and become the chief constable.
“Alright.11
Bai Cha led Shopkeeper Zhu to bid farewell to everyone and then left first.
Bai Cha and Shopkeeper Zhu were smart and knowledgeable. They had never seen or heard of Constable Qin and Constable Wang before. It was all thanks to these two that they were able to track Tu Wansan down.
He watched them leave on their horses.
Constable Qin and Constable Wang looked at Heng Yi with shining eyes. Wen
Yu and Gu Jiu were holding Heng Yi’s saber with envy.
“You have a good saber in your hands.’1
What was good about it? They didn’t understand it at all, but they felt that it was better than any other weapon.
The nimble slash of chopping off someone’s head didn’t even leave any life in their body. The head just fell off its neck.
Heng Yi rode on the horse, his blood boiling.
He knew that he liked the feeling of fighting with others.
Constable Qin rode his horse next to Heng Yi.
“Well done. That slash was really sharp!”
Heng Yi nodded.
He took out a wineskin, opened it, took a sip, and handed it to Constable Qin. Constable Qin didn’t mind, so he took a sip and handed it to Constable Wang.
Then, each of them took a sip, and when they returned to Heng Yi’s hands, the wine bag was empty.
He didn’t care.
They were about to go back, but the people in Chenzhou discovered the remnants of Black Wind Mountain, so Heng Yi and the others could only ride their horses to help.
It was the 19th of the first month, and the fast-food restaurant was going to open tomorrow. Everyone was tidying up and doing some final checking.
Han Qiao was also in the fast food restaurant, checking every single part of the preparations. She couldn’t allow any mistakes.
She kept a small courtyard for herself, and two of the other courtyards were torn down and used as a dining hall. The other one was given to Gong Bing and the workers to live in.
She planned to take out 20% of the net profit and distribute it once a month. If the business was good and there was a lot of money at the end of the year, she would buy a small courtyard for the chefs in the county town.
There were probably only three or four rooms in this courtyard, but when the chefs heard this, their enthusiasm was particularly fired up.
“Madam, then… Then do we have a chance?”
“You can work here for three to five years, but you have to be serious,” Han Qiao laughed.
Because of Han Qiao’s words, they were still checking the flour. The flour for tomorrow’s steamed buns had already been prepared.
In the kitchen, a few people were still cutting vegetables, and the braised bamboo shoots were still stewing.
The chefs had two young disciples under their care. They were not paid in the early days, but Han Qiao paid them as well. To a certain extent, she even taught them how to cook, so they were exceptionally hard-working.
Han Qiao stayed at the fast food restaurant that day so that she wouldn’t have to come over from home tomorrow morning.
She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to get up.
Han Qiao lay down on the bed while Shulan and Duan Yue massaged her legs.
She had been busy for the past two days and her legs were a little swollen.
“Alright, you two should go to bed.”
“Madam should sleep first.”
Both of them slept in the small room next door, but in order to serve Han Qiao, one of them slept by Han Qiao’s footboard.
Han Qiao was grateful for their thoughtfulness and was extremely gentle to them. Even when she ordered them to do things, she was gentle.
Han Qiao thought about Heng Yi for a while. How was he doing right now?
She heard someone talking outside. It sounded like Bai Cha.
“Shulan, go take a look.”
“Yes.”
Shulan returned very quickly, “Madam, Second Master, and Shopkeeper Zhu have returned.”
Han Qiao quickly got up and went to see Bai Cha and Shopkeeper Zhu.
The two of them went straight back to Heng Manor, showered, changed their clothes, and ate before coming to visit the Madam.
“Sister-in-law.”
“Madam.”
Han Qiao nodded and told them to sit down.
“You’re back. Where’s Heng Yi? Have you caught the bandit leader?’1
“Sister“in-law, that bandit leader has already been killed by Big Brother. However, this is a huge contribution he has made. When Big Brother returns, the people of the county will go to the city gate to welcome him. This is his chance to show his face, so I asked him to come back with everyone else.”
“Yes, that’s the way it should be.”
Han Qiao asked again, “Are any of you hurt?”
“No, we’re fine.”
Han Qiao asked more questions.
Bai Cha slowly retold their experience to Han Qiao. Shopkeeper Zhu did not speak the entire time, but he listened attentively.
His mother had been well taken care of during the past few days. She could not see, but she was clean, looked good, and was often in a good mood these days. It meant that Han Qiao had made good on her promise to take good care of his mother.
“Since Shopkeeper Zhu has returned, you will be busy tomorrow.”
“It’s just that I feel that it’s a waste of talent to let you be the shopkeeper.”
“Let’s do this for the time being. I’ll look for a few more people. As long as there are suitable ones, you can bring them along.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Han Qiao would win over the hearts of the people.
Shopkeeper Zhu knew what was going on. He also wanted to gain Han Qiao’s trust and attention. He wanted to contact his children. It would be even better if he could bring them to his side.
His new master is very capable.
The wife of the main family was smart, thoughtful, and good at planning.
Sooner or later, they would soar to the sky and amaze the world.
Heng Yi had already shocked the world with a single sound, he wouldn’t be surprised if the Madam would follow soon.
it was the 20th of the first month.
Heng Yi was outside suppressing bandits, while Han Qiao was in Puyi County.
it was also Qiaoyi Fast Food Restaurant’s first opening.
Han Qiao asked Bai Cha and Han Chi to light the firecrackers while she pulled off the red silk.
The smart people had just started to line up, and they were all here to get eggs and steamed buns.
And many little beggars came as well.
At this time, the hot eggs and steamed buns were delivered to their hands.
The few little beggars were called to the side by Han Chi.
“If you acknowledge me as your Big Brother and listen to me in the future, I guarantee that you will have your fill for every meal.”
“Big Brother.”
“Big Brother.”
Han Chi became the Big Brother of the beggars.
“You guys have been waiting for eternity.”

So many people came to see it, and then they had to buy some. With this breakfast, they wouldn’t get tired of it for a month.
