Chapter 51 Road Construction

Bao Zhanpeng was shocked.

Who drew this?

“Uncle Zhao, are you awake?  Nian Nian is here to call you for breakfast!  Today’s breakfast is made by Nian Nian herself, it’s big meat buns, they’re delicious!”  Shen Nian’s knocking and calling came from outside the door.

Bao Zhanpeng’s heart skipped a beat, looking at the painting in his hand, he thought of something, he widened his eyes in disbelief, got out of bed at the fastest speed, didn’t even put on his shoes, ran to open the door, pulled Shen Nian in, and closed the door.

“Uncle Zhao, what’s wrong with you?” Shen Nian asked in confusion, “Why do you look so excited?”

Bao Zhanpeng pointed to the drawing paper in his hand: “Did you draw this?”

She can cook, she can read, she can grow strange things, this girl is already incredibly smart, now she can even draw such magical paintings, even more incredible!

Shen Nian smiled: “Yes! Does it look like Sister Zhenzhen? If it doesn’t, I’ll redraw it.”

Bao Zhanpeng’s eyes were moist, he hugged her: “No need to redraw, it’s very similar, especially similar, you draw very well, thank you, Nian Nian, you are a fairy, you are my lucky star!”

After speaking, he let go of Shen Nian and looked at her seriously: “You are too young, you are so young and so powerful, you will be noticed by those with ulterior motives, what would you do if I were a bad person, Uncle Zhao?”

Shen Nian smiled very obediently: “I will kill you, to eliminate the threat.”

These words, spoken in her soft and cute baby voice, were not at all domineering, but gave a creepy feeling.

Bao Zhanpeng was startled, then he laughed: “You little girl are really amazing! Your future achievements will surely be extraordinary. Don’t worry! I won’t tell anyone your secret, and you shouldn’t use your abilities in front of others easily, lest you attract trouble. A tree that stands out in the forest will be struck by the wind, hide your sharpness, learn to disguise yourself, so that you can live a peaceful life, so that you can protect the people you want to protect.”

Shen Nian looked at him: “I understand, thank you for your teachings, Uncle Zhao.”

Bao Zhanpeng smiled: “I wrote a recipe for you, you can learn it, but I think you don’t need to learn, you little girl’s cooking skills are very good.”

First scallion pancakes, then fermented tofu, he could feel that the little girl still had many skills that she hadn’t shown.

This is a magical little girl.

Shen Nian giggled: “Just so-so! Just a little bit better than my fourth brother.”

Then she asked: “Uncle Zhao, you will come back, right?”

Bao Zhanpeng was silent for a moment before saying: “I don’t know, I’ll try my best to come back.”

Shen Nian took his hand, gave him warmth, and smiled sweetly: “We’ll wait for you to come home.”

Bao Zhanpeng couldn’t help but want to cry again, he rubbed his eyes, seeing Shen Nian staring at him, he asked Shen Nian to turn around: “Oh! Don’t look, turn around, I’m so embarrassed!”

A big man like him was actually moved to tears by a three-year-old child, he was so embarrassed!

Shen Nian just wouldn’t turn around, she even leaned closer to stare at him: “I’m looking, I’m looking, oh my, Uncle Zhao was moved to tears by me, wow! I’m so amazing!”

Bao Zhanpeng glared at her angrily: “You little girl, you just know how to ruin the mood.”

He took out a token from his chest and stuffed it into Shen Nian’s hand: “This is for you, although you don’t need it now, but you might need it later, keep it well.”

Shen Nian took it without hesitation.

“You can go out now, let me calm down, I can’t hold it anymore.” Bao Zhanpeng chased her out of the room, then sat on the ground by the door and laughed foolishly.

“Silly girl, you’re really a silly girl!”

“Woo, I really miss you guys so much!”

“When I find Zhenzhen, I’ll let Zhenzhen be your sister, let her spoil you and love you.”

After breakfast, Bao Zhanpeng went to find Shen Cai and gave him a stack of paper: “This is the recipe I wrote overnight, after I leave, you study it according to the recipe, don’t be lazy, when I come back, I will test you, if you haven’t learned well, be careful I will expel you from the sect.”

Shen Cai eagerly took the recipe: “Even if you don’t say it, Master, I won’t be lazy.”

Bao Zhanpeng was finally satisfied.

He went back to his room to get his luggage, and went to the county with Shen Dong and Shen Xue by ox cart.

When they arrived in the county, Bao Zhanpeng parted ways with Shen Dong and his son and set off for the capital.

Seven days later, the tofu at the Shen family fermented well, all the tofu grew soft and long white hair, looking like soft and cute little pets.

The Shen family wrapped all the hairy tofu with seasonings and put them in jars, asking Wan Baocai to inform Master Wan to come and pick them up the next day.

Wan Baocai came the next day with eighteen people, directly picking up jar after jar of jars from the Shen family, leaving the villagers in awe.

“No wonder the Shen family dared to buy so much tofu, it turns out they had a deal with the Wan family, what was Grandpa Nian Nian thinking, how dare he fool the young master of the Wan family? Aren’t you afraid that Master Wan will blame him?”

Zhang Ershun looked at the person who was speaking: “Do you think the Shen family can do business with the Wan family because they fooled the young master Wan? Old Wang, you can’t just say anything! It will harm the Shen family. Who is Master Wan, would the young master dare to bring so many people here without his consent?”

Old Wang frowned: “You mean, Master Wan knows about the tofu?”

Old Wang’s wife grabbed his ear: “How could he not know, businessmen are all shrewd, would Master Wan do a losing business? You old man, stop guessing, put away your jealous face, go and work hard. Wait, why do you smell like alcohol, you old bastard, did you steal alcohol again?”

Old Wang cried out injustice: “No, no, I didn’t drink, the smell of alcohol came from those people from the Wan family.”

“You dare to argue, those people came to do business, how could they drink, I’ll deal with you today.”

“Deal with me? Give me some face outside!”

“…”

The milk cakes taken away by the Wan family still need to be stored for a month or two before they can be eaten, after collecting 500 jin of milk cakes, Wan Baocai immediately paid the balance, and then took his guards to the restaurant.

He wanted to personally supervise the people in the restaurant to store the milk cakes, the things made by Nian Nian, they must not be damaged by anyone, not even a little bit.

Because Lanhua Village could not accommodate carriages, the Wan family’s carriage stopped at Liujiacun, attracting many people to watch.

Wan Baocai and his men walked to Liujiacun to take the carriage.

Wan Baocai frowned at the direction of Lanhua Village: “Yang Mu, how much silver will it take to repair the road in Lanhua Village?”

Yang Mu said: “Young Master, do you want to repair the road in Lanhua Village?”

Wan Baocai nodded.

Yang Mu thought for a moment and said: “I remember that the master once repaired a road for a village, that road was only half as long as the road in Lanhua Village, and it cost 1,200 taels of silver.”

That village had helped the master by chance, so the master helped the village repair the road, besides that, the master had done many good deeds.

It’s just that the reputation of a good person was ruined by the young master.

Yang Mu continued: “According to the situation of the road in Lanhua Village, it will cost at least 2,500 taels of silver to repair it!”
