Chapter 221
The driver's expression changed and he didn't answer. He just kept urging them to get off.
Seeing the driver driving the ox cart into the distance, Chi Sheng and Xiao Qi looked at each other and entered Yancheng.
March 1
There was only a hint of hazy blue on the horizon, and the cries of vendors could be heard on the streets.
The Lin family were also busy working at the stalls. The two brothers Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng were playing with the tables and chairs, and then took a handkerchief to wipe the dust off the table.
Mother Lin was chopping meat fillings aside so that her two daughters-in-law could rest for a while.
Today is the first day of Shang's gathering. People in the city will definitely come out to watch the fun, and they have to move faster.
As soon as the ingredients were prepared, several regular customers sat down while rubbing their hands.
"We want three bowls of group food and one bowl of broth noodles."
"okay!"
Lin Ercheng collected the money and scooped out four bowls of soup and sent them over.
"You drink first, this soup is a gift."
"Thank you very much."
The four of them took the soup, chatted and laughed while waiting to eat.
"Will you go to Zuitingxuan later to watch the fun?"
"Go, I must go."
"I just don't know which five people will get the chance this time. Don't tell me, this soup tastes really good."
A man in gray clothes sighed after taking a sip of hot soup.
"I guess Miss Su can go."
A younger man chuckled and spoke.
"That's not necessarily the case. Although Miss Su has some abilities, the people coming this time are not just from Yancheng, but also wealthy businessmen and famous families from all over the country. As for Miss Su, she is still a little behind."
"What you said is wrong. You only said that if Miss Su's jar of ice cream is selected, it will most likely be sent to the palace. If any empress is happy, then wouldn't it be done? ?”
The four of them laughed, while Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng, who were helping on the side, eavesdropped with their ears raised.
They didn't know much about Su Tao. In the past, they had only heard people talking about it in the city, but now they didn't know it clearly. Their impression of Su Tao was all about "blackmailing people". He wanted to blackmail them that time in Lihua Village. When I arrived in Yancheng, I wanted to blackmail Wen Chen.
"Sir, your group food and broth noodles are ready."
Lin Yicheng came forward with four sea bowls on a tray, pretending to be curious and asked: "Sir, I heard what you are talking about about Shang Huihui and Miss Su, what's going on?"
"Hey, don't you guys know?"
One person was about to eat when he heard Lin Yicheng ask this question and immediately let out a sigh. After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to understand.
"That's right. You came late, so it's normal that you don't know about Shang Huihui. But Miss Su, you should know about it, right?"
"We do know Miss Su, but we don't know what her connection is with that Shang Hui."
Lin Yicheng smiled naively.
"Miss Su, you are the most famous person in Yancheng right now!"
The younger man was a little excited when he talked about Su Tao.
"I have never seen such a powerful woman! At first, many refugees came from outside the city. I didn't know where this girl Su found food. Not only did she give rice and porridge, but she also hired people to see the refugees. Later, she didn't know where to find food. I know she thought of some way to let the refugees go away, so there are a lot of things to worry about. Those little generals were stationed here at the beginning, but they went out of their way to thank her."
The man said with admiration on his face.
Let alone a girl, even if he had the rice and grain himself, he would not be willing to give it away, let alone to the refugees he did not know.
"Yeah?"
Lin Yicheng was a little surprised. His sister said that Su Tao stayed in Lihua Village for a while, but at that time she only said that she was running away from marriage. How could she still have rice and food to donate to free clinics after running away from famine?
"This was just the beginning. At that time, many people in the city laughed at her for being stupid. But later, she somehow got connected with everyone in Yancheng City and suddenly became a shareholder of major shops. Within two months, she opened a rouge shop, and she became the most powerful woman in Yancheng with just one ice cream."
The man in gray clothes clicked his tongue twice as he spoke.
It is rare to find a woman who is talented, beautiful and capable. Miss Su has a bright future.
After hearing this, Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng were only surprised and more confused.
Since Su Tao already had such ability, why did she still blackmail their brother-in-law everywhere?
Is it really because this Shang gathering can benefit from these rumors, or does it have ulterior motives?
Although they don't know why, neither of the brothers has much affection for Su Tao.
Gradually, there were more and more customers at the snack stall. Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng did not think much and just continued to work.
Su Tao was a little nervous in front of the dressing table.
"System, are you sure there won't be any accidents today?"
【Won't. 】
The system's mechanical voice only uttered two words and then disappeared. Su Tao had long been accustomed to the temperament of this universal system, and after hearing it say no, she felt a little relieved.
Although she is a modern person who has traveled through time, her life was messed up by herself and that person in her previous life. Today's Shang Hui is her chance to establish a firm foothold in this world.
She is not a fool. Although she has many properties in Yancheng now, she only obtained some shares by relying on the "marketing methods" she proposed. But she doesn't know much herself. Sooner or later, these ideas will come true After using it, what can she rely on to gain a foothold here?
No.
As long as those people think about it, they can change her from the girl they call Miss Su to a girl from the Su family by using any means at will.
But this Shang Conference is her chance. As long as her ice cream can be selected to enter Beijing, she will be able to establish herself in Yancheng and in this world!
The beauty in the mirror had bright eyes and white teeth, and there seemed to be stars flowing in her eyes, which made Shuang'er slightly in a trance.
After she lost the lady the day before yesterday, she seemed to suddenly see her position clearly, and she no longer had the wantonness she had before.
Although Su Tao felt that she was a bit rigid like this, he remembered how she looked back then and didn't say anything more.
She originally thought it was pitiful for Shuang'er, a fifteen-year-old child, to do those kinds of work, but after actually using it, she understood why maids in ancient families had to be well-behaved and smart.
After twisting her hair, Su Tao looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. Since today was her opportunity, she naturally had to be well prepared.
Young Master He specifically told her a few days ago who would attend this Shang gathering.
In Yancheng alone, He, Liu, Cheng, and Qing will be there. In addition, the two royal merchants from Jiangnan, the Ye family and the Zhang family, have sent people over.
In contrast, she was able to participate this time only because of the efforts of Young Master He and Shen Wenchen.
The He family was the head of the four families in Yancheng. Young Master He was already interested in her, not to mention hearing rumors that Shen Wenchen was interested in her, so he made an exception and gave himself an invitation.
Thinking of Shen Wenchen, Su Tao felt a little depressed. For two years, that man had not had any improvement in his favorability. Could it be that that man really had a deep love for Lin Nanzhi?
But if that was the case, why would he bring a substitute back?
