“Although…” Jiang Yue suddenly spoke again, “A dignified prince shouldn’t have come here just because he suspected us of something, right?”
“There should be something else that made them come here.” Xue Yan nodded. After a pause, he added, “He probably came to find us along the way of whatever he needed to do.”
No matter how strange they were, they were just two children. Shao Zhongxi couldn’t have come mainly for them. He must have come incidentally.
Jiang Yue nodded and analyzed the situation. “Shao Shuting appeared in this town before, and now Shao Zhongxi is here too. Is there something in this town that we don’t know?”
“I don’t know either.”
He also found it strange that these two people were here. However, he couldn’t figure it out, so he didn’t think about it anymore.
Xue Erfu had eaten lunch at home before he drove the ox-cart back to town. Other than dried rice noodles and some purple sweet potatoes, the rest were chopped firewood.
When they went back, Xue Erfu was driving the carriage again. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan then followed Xue Erfu home.
The next day, their shop started to sell breakfast. They only made a certain amount of breakfast. They only sold it to the people on the street where their shop was located and the people around that street. They were all sold out the moment the shop was open.
The town was only so big. Soon, the other shops selling breakfast knew that rice noodles could be used as fillings to wrap in buns. The taste was not bad. Those shops naturally had people coming to their shops to buy dry rice noodles as well. These people would definitely buy more than one or two kilograms of dry rice noodles to make money. Moreover, some people also knew how to replicate buns like those just from observing it. If they wanted to eat steamed buns with rice noodle fillings, they would naturally come to buy dry rice noodles. There were not as many people coming to eat rice noodles as there were before. However, the number of people who came to buy dried rice noodles was much more than before.
After balancing the two, the business was not much different from when he set up his stall in the past.
On the 26th of August, the new house that his family was building was finally covered with tiles. The courtyard walls were also made of green bricks. It looked very imposing in the village.
There was also a well in the courtyard. It was not built by the people who built the house, but by the people who specialized in digging wells in the town. It took several days to create the well.
There were still some finishing touches, such as tidying up the courtyard and installing the doors and windows.
Only the courtyard door and the small door at the back door were made by Xue Yifu. The other doors and windows were specially made by the carpenter shop in town. They were even carved with flowers, which were sturdy and beautiful.
Xue Yifu didn’t know how to do things that were too complicated yet. Moreover, he couldn’t do so much by himself. Apart from that, he had to help his family make ice previously and that was why he didn’t have time to perfect his craft.
These carved doors and windows were all made by the carpenter shop in town when his family started building the new house.
He had already asked the shop to help make some beautiful and practical furniture. He had also ordered a screen and other items. They would probably be delivered soon.
Xue Dafu had already made arrangements to move his family from the old house to the new house on the fourth of September.
It was only the 26th of August, there was still time.
“Xue Yan! Jiang Yue!”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were looking at the window carved by the carpenter shop in town when they suddenly heard Xue Dagui’s voice.
Wasn’t Xue Dagui supposed to be working as a waiter in their shop in town? Why was he back?
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other before walking out of their new house.
Xue Dagui also happened to rush into the courtyard that had yet to be installed.
Seeing them, Xue Dagui immediately said, “I’ve finally found you guys. Come, come, come with me. I’m here under Xue Sifu’s orders to bring you to town.
The carriage is already outside..”
