Surprise! The little koi from the farm, her husband who died long ago is alive!

Chapter 152 What does he want to know?

"Fuzi!"

Jiang Shuyue gave Fuzi a look, and Fuzi ran over to bring out a bowl, "Sir, it's not even noon yet, it's not cold yet, so the taste is a little off."

Tan Sidao took a small sip and his eyes were clearly brightened. He took another big sip and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad. If it were cooler, it would taste better."

"You're right, sour plum soup is refreshing and helps relieve summer heat, but it's a pity that we ordinary people can't get ice cubes, otherwise, the taste would be even better."

Jiang Shuyue took the opportunity to say that she wanted to know whether Tan Sidao was really here to eat or had other purposes.

But the way he looked at her just now made her feel that things were not that simple.

She was afraid that the honest Fuzi would not be able to handle it well, so she did not go out with Liuzi and chose to stay.

"I never thought that the boss lady, at such a young age, could run such a successful shop."

Fuzi is not a talkative person, but when talking about Jiang Shuyue, he becomes talkative. Besides, a waiter's job is to talk to customers. "You are absolutely right. A shop is nothing. Our boss lady is going to open a hot spring villa, which is much bigger. And our boss lady is the only one who runs it."

Fuzi meant well. Just now, he saw that the man was not stingy when ordering the dishes. He just asked him to pick the delicious ones. He thought that maybe he would become a guest of the villa, so he introduced them with all his strength.

"Hot Spring Villa?" Tan Sidao looked at Jiang Shuyue. "It seems that the proprietress is indeed not simple. I have heard that the proprietress of this restaurant is a beautiful and intelligent woman. After meeting her today, I find that her reputation is well-deserved."

He still didn't mention his identity, so Jiang Shuyue pretended to be ignorant.

"You are too kind. It is not easy for women to do things in this world.

It is even harder to make it. I am lucky that people mention it. If there were more women doing business on the street, what would I count as? "

What Jiang Shuyue said was not wrong, but there are many women doing business, and she is still the best among them, there is no doubt about that.

Being able to train an incompetent man to become a prime minister, her strategies and talents are simply a waste of effort when used in business.

However, Jiang Shuyue was well aware of the darkness of officialdom and felt that although doing business was also full of intrigue, it was still easier than the officialdom.

"Why are you the only one here? Where are your family members?" Tan Sidao asked after thinking for a while.

Jiang Shuyue also answered honestly, "My parents passed away a long time ago. I have an uncle and an aunt, but we don't have a very good relationship. My husband's family is okay, but my parents-in-law are old. They can only help me if they want to. My brother is still studying in school."

"What about your man?" Tan Sidao asked with a smile, "Why doesn't he come out when you, a woman, have to work hard in business?"

"He has his own things to do. Some people can raise pigs, some are good at raising chickens, and I just happen to be able to do some small business." Jiang Shuyue said with a smile.

"It's not easy for a woman like you to build such a big business."

"I'm lucky. I met a noble person who helped me." Jiang Shuyue said proactively.

"Noble?"

"Yes, you can tell from the outside that you are from another place. Many people know that Yan Jiu, whose case was just overturned a few days ago, is my sworn brother. My business is only possible thanks to the care of the Yan family."

Jiang Shuyue wasn't sure whether he came to inquire about this matter, but she still chose to bring it up.

Fuzi didn't know the truth, so he asked casually, "Madam, Jiu Ye's case has been re-sentenced, why hasn't he returned yet?"

"You ask me, who should I ask? I wish he would come back today."

Jiang Shuyue and Fuzi sang the same tune, and it was unknown whether Tan Sidao got the information he wanted.

The guests at the other two tables finished their meal and put down their chopsticks. They all said they were regular customers and knew Jiang Shuyue.

"In fact, he was right to flee in the first place, otherwise he would have been killed right away, and there would have been no chance for his injustice to be redressed."

The man sighed deeply after he finished speaking. "Speaking of which, County Magistrate Hong is really a piece of shit. No matter what the tax grain harvest is like, our county pays more than other counties. I don't know what the new county magistrate is like. I'm afraid we won't be able to pay this year."

The man suddenly looked at Jiang Shuyue, "By the way, Madam Boss, if I remember correctly, you are from Qinghe Village, right?"

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Among the many villages in our town, yours is the only one that suffered the least damage to crops. I heard that you dug a canal in advance. Is that true?"

Jiang Shuyue nodded, and Fuzi beside him smiled and said, "Don't you know? The canal was built by our lady boss."

"Oh? You paid for it. Do you have a lot of land?" The guest was surprised. "Did you pay for the whole village to repair the canal?"

"Isn't it our boss's wife who paid for it?" Fuzi said.

The man immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "So you are a really kind person. Why wasn't I born in your village? My land has been soaked and only less than 30% of the harvest is left."

Jiang Shuyue sighed. Her ability was limited and she couldn't help everyone. Besides, people from other villages might not listen to her.

However, she stole a glance at Tan Sidao.

But the county magistrate can.

Tan Sidao was also looking at Jiang Shuyue. He knew about the heavy rain. He had already reported to the court and requested tax reduction or exemption, but he didn't know that such a thing would happen.

"The canal is useful. I don't know if it will be useful this year because of the heavy rain, but I think it will be useful after digging it. Brother Wang, you can talk to the people in the village when you go back. No one needs to pay, just one person from each household. You never know when it will be useful."

"Hiss, that's right. With your problem, we all know the importance of digging canals, but no one takes the lead." The man looked disappointed.

"Ordinary people depend on this little bit of land to make a living. If we talk to them nicely, they will understand. After all, this concerns every household."

The man nodded, still feeling a little regretful. Why wasn't he born in the same village as Jiang Shuyue?

Not long after the man left, the guests at another table also left.

The only people left in the room were Tan Sidao, Jiang Shuyue and Fuzi who was busy in the kitchen.

Tan Sidao pondered for a moment and said, "What did the brother just say about your village's harvest?"

"About 70% to 80% of the previous years." Jiang Shuyue said, "It's a pity that we are insignificant and don't know any high-ranking officials. Otherwise, we could suggest that the whole county build a canal. If conditions do not allow, we can build it in low-lying areas."

Tan Sidao nodded and decided to get started on this matter when she got back. It was rare for a country woman to have such a broad mind.

"Madam, I want to ask you one more thing. You are building a canal for the whole village. Do you really not want any benefits at all?"
