Chapter 169 Wind and Cold

"Ahem, I'm full, you guys eat slowly."

Ning Pengpeng looked around, stood up, and called Aunt Tan out of the kitchen to give Baizhu and Qingniang some space alone.

"How are you doing here?"

Bai Zhu put down the bamboo stick in his hand, stared at Qing Niang, and asked seriously.

When Qing Niang was rescued, she looked so heartbroken that he thought he would never see another expression on Qing Niang's face.

Therefore, when Mrs. Ning said she wanted to find a master to teach martial arts, he immediately thought of Qingniang and recommended her to the young master.

At that time, the young master just looked at him for a long time, and then nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, Qingniang's body would actually become alive and energetic.

"Very good, stay away from right and wrong, get up early and go to bed early, and no longer have to worry about not being able to sleep at night!"

Qing Niang put the chicken wings that had fallen on the table on the plate aside and replied softly.

"Aunt Ning has no other actions, sir, please rest assured."

She thought for a moment and added another sentence.

"That's good."

Bai Zhu nodded, and after saying that, the two of them fell into silence again.

Ning Pengpeng actually wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between Baizhu and Qingniang. After all, the aura of the two of them made people feel a little strange.

It's a pity, thinking about Bai Zhu's skills and Qing Niang's skills.

For the sake of my own life, I decided not to eavesdrop.

However, Baizhu and Qingniang didn't chat for a long time. Bai Zhu came out soon and declined Ning Pengpeng's request to stay for dinner. He immediately got on his horse and returned to Beijing to resume his life.

After Bai Zhu left, Ning Pengpeng could clearly feel that Qingniang had been in a low mood for several days.

However, I soon got back into exercising with my children and Ning Pengpeng.

I don’t know if it was Ning Pengpeng’s misunderstanding, but Qingniang obviously strengthened the training for them after this time.

Thanks to the training in the previous two months, she and the brats could barely hold on.

However, before lying down every night, she had to scream like a ghost and let Aunt Tan help her do the trick.

The first time Ning Pengpeng said this to Aunt Tan, the expression on Aunt Tan's face was blank, and she didn't understand the meaning of what Ning Pengpeng said at all.

However, Ning Pengpeng taught Aunt Tan the charm of killing chickens once, and she learned it.

Then, Ning Pengpeng became the experimental subject. Whenever Aunt Tan pressed something wrong, Ning Pengpeng would point it out.

After enjoying this every day, Aunt Tan soon became very accurate in knowing those acupoints!

Ning Pengpeng took inventory of his small treasury. Now, in his small treasury, in addition to 110,000 taels of silver notes, there is also a village, a shop in the town and some gold and silver jewelry.

Looking at these things, although the dividends from Pei Yan will continue to come, Ning Pengpeng feels that he can't just sit back and have nothing.

Regarding the dividends given by Pei Yan, Ning Pengpeng treated every dividend as if it was the last time.

At least, Ning Pengpeng did not want to become an enemy of Pei Yan when the Ning family did not have enough strength to compete with Pei Yan.

However, with so much money, Ning Pengpeng can do what he has always wanted to do, set up a caravan.

In ancient times, information between the north and the south was not developed enough, and many things could not circulate.

If goods from the south are transferred to the north, or goods from the north are sold to the south, they can be sold at a high price.

The caravan is to earn the price difference.

The most important thing is that Ning Pengpeng cannot rely solely on Pei Yan for the seasonings he wants to find.

After all, people are not people who have nothing to do.

Moreover, Ning Pengpeng always has to build his own network of relationships.

If you keep relying on Pei Yan, I'm afraid that even if you come up with something good in the future, you'll have to give up most of the benefits like this oyster sauce business.

The most important thing is that Ning Pengpeng still has an ambition that he wants to realize.

However, he didn't want Pei Yan to know.

Knowing that Mrs. Ning wanted Mr. Ning to set up a caravan, the Shi family came directly to three brothers who were willing to run business with the Ning family.

After all, corvee service was only temporary.

I have to live in the future, without money, I can’t have enough to eat, and I can’t get a wife.

Although running a business may encounter dangers on the road, it is better than living in such a hazy state at home.

There is a saying that goes well: Wealth can be found in danger.

Since there is an opportunity to make money, they naturally have to seize it.

Because Ning Pengpeng took over the work of the three brothers from the Shi family, Shi Xianglan came over and kowtowed to Ning Pengpeng three times to express his gratitude.

In fact, in addition to the three brothers of the Shi family, there was also Wang Deyin who came to ask to follow Ning Laosan to go into business.

After the Lizheng family was separated, several families in Dahuaishu Village were also separated, including Wang Deyin.

There are only two sons in the Wang family, and Wang Deyin is the one who was directly separated.

It is said that when they separated, Wang Dahai was furious, but Wang Deyin would rather leave the house than separate the family.

For this reason, Mrs. Zhao cried angrily several times and even came to her little daughter to cry.

But no matter how angry she was, Wang Deyin insisted on breaking up the family.

In the end, Wang Dahai only gave Wang Deyin a house and pots and pans. Although it was not a clean life, it was not far behind!

Therefore, Ning Pengpeng was a little surprised when Wang Deyin came to visit her.

After all, it was not like she had never approached the Wang family for the shop.

In addition to Ning Laosan, Wang Deyin, and the three Shi brothers, Ning Pengpeng selected five muscular servants from Zhuangzi to follow Ning Laosan's arrangements.

In this way, there are ten people in total together with Ning Laosan!

Although the number of people is not large, it should be no problem if we can buy five carriages and two people in each carriage take turns to travel.

Of course, it is best to find some more people, so that if something happens, they will not dare to attack the caravan easily because of the strength of the people.

However, the best way is for those who go out to do business to exercise properly. Not to mention becoming peerless masters, they must at least become the kind of thugs who can fight one against two.

Ning Pengpeng was actively preparing for the caravan, while Ning Youcai, who was doing corvee work over there, was sneezing and lying in the smelly tent, eyes wide open in confusion, without focus.

There was no way, everyone came to do corvée work, and they were exhausted from working every day. Even if they didn't have the energy to take a bath or wash their hair, most of them would just fall asleep.

Anyway, when you get up early the next morning, you have to continue sweating and smelling so bad, so why waste time by washing it again!

But Ning Youcai, who was used to keeping his home clean, could not stand the smell of his own body.

So, after returning from a tiring day, he ran to the river to take a bath and wash his hair.

In this weather, most people are still wearing thin cotton-padded jackets!

Like Ning Youcai, after washing his hair, he couldn't dry it with fire in time.

He could only sleep with his wet hair on his head, and soon Ning Youcai got cold and became too hot to get out of bed.
