"What material did you build this road with?" It's even more gorgeous than the one I saw in the capital. " When it came to this cement road, Wu Sinan, who had seen much of the world, had a much higher voice than those people, "Not only is it beautiful, it is also very flat. It doesn't have cracks like stone slabs, it looks like a heavenly road from afar, it's really magical!"

Wu Sinan praised the cement road so much that it seemed like there was nothing in the sky or on the ground.

Jiaoniang smiled as he listened to his praise. When his saliva had dried, Huang Yi immediately brought a bowl of tea over with his doggy legs. He was almost the same as Jiaoniang, but he could tell that Wu Sinan was a rich master with a glance.

"Do you think this road is better than the one in the capital?"

"This …" Wu Sinan originally wanted to pay more attention, but then he thought about how this place was far away from the emperor and did not need too much attention, "I have indeed never seen this kind of road before, I wonder what cement is?"

Since she did not answer his question, Jiaoniang did not plan to leak the recipe yet. She looked at Wu Sinan with a friendly smile, "This is the first white road, do you want to leave your name?"

Wu Sinan looked at Jiaoniang in a daze. Jiaoniang pointed at a large piece of empty land at the entrance of the village and drew a big stone tablet.

As the carriage arrived, puffing and panting, the young master, hearing that the passersby were all talking about the wonders of the White Road, galloped up on his horse, leaving him behind to catch up.

There was not only a single person from the Floating Stone Clan, but also Old Master Qian, his son, and a few other young men.

Before Wu Sinan could react, a fat uncle squeezed over with a face full of smiles: "I think young lady's meaning is that he wants to set up a monument right?"

"Old Zheng has set up a good monument in the county. After decades of friendship between him and me, we will surely be able to forge the best monument."

Another old man squeezed his way in, causing Wu Sinan's entire person to be pushed to the back.

"Yes, Old Zheng's craftsmanship is pretty good. My family has some ores from the Southern Wilderness that are as pure as jade and can be used to erect monuments on this unique white road."

"Yo, I didn't expect you to be so willing. Didn't you say that you were prepared to use that stone as a tombstone after it died?"

"There's no need, there's no need. The task of repairing the road is for the best. "Naturally, it's better to use it here."

The old men laughed heartily as they heard this. They understood tacitly that this was not drunk at all!

Jiaoniang was still smiling merrily. A young girl stood amongst a few old cunning foxes and was not afraid of the stage at all. After they had finished talking, she asked: "It's just that I didn't write anything down on the monument … Wouldn't it be a waste of such a good ore? "

"This …" A few old foxes pretended to think, stroking their goatee, their eyes rolling around, refusing to say what they were thinking first.

Seeing them like this, Uncle Qian laughed, he had known them for many years, how could he not understand their thoughts? However, even though Jiaoniang knew what they were thinking, he still pretended not to understand and teased them.

Wu Sinan was at a loss at the start, but after all, he was still a person who came from a crowd of people. He had just arrived here, and although he carried the banner of Wu Family, it was obvious that a grown man was not valued highly by his family. Even if he had some small money in his pocket, the rich families in the county who had built their own families were not very enthusiastic about him, otherwise, how could they dare to force him out?

But Wu Sinan was not angry, if he wanted to stay here peacefully, he had to win over these old cunning foxes. Thus, he cleared his throat and said, "In my opinion, why not write the names of all the people who have done meritorious deeds on this white road on the stone tablet? That way, the future generations would be able to think of thanking their ancestors when they walk on this road."

A blue-robed elder slapped his thigh, "Sure! That's a good idea! "Jiaoniang was the first to think of a way to build a new road, and if you say that you have rendered the most merits, it is naturally Jiaoniang who has contributed the most to the task. We have been defending our property in the county but we have never thought of paving the way to build a new bridge.

The blue-clothed old man was the owner of the Xiangtian Rice Shop in the Qingyuan County. Eighty percent of the entire county's grains and grains were in his hands, not to mention his family's wealth and numerous fertile fields. Jiaoniang wouldn't believe that the old cunning fox would admire her so much. The shopping mall was like a battlefield.

"Master Chen must be joking. As a woman, I only have a little money in my hands, and want to lead the villagers to become rich. Now that I only have these things fixed, my hands are already tight. If I want to fix this road …"

Before Jiaoniang could finish his words, he was interrupted.

"Isn't it just the lack of money?" Wu Sinan proudly opened his fan, elegant and handsome, "Floating Stone, how much silver do we need to bring this time?"

"Young master …" Floating Stone wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a slightly hollow voice, "I left in a hurry and didn't bring much with me. I wonder if 50 taels of silver is enough?"

Who knew that their young master would come out again? Who would bring so much silver with them on a journey?!

Hearing that it was only fifty silver, Wu Sinan's face turned ugly. "Why is it so small, go back and get more, get more money."

"Hehe! Young master Wu, don't be impatient!" Master Chen stroked his beard and laughed, "Even if the silver is in place, this road will not be fixed in a day, why not listen to Jiaoniang's opinion first, how much does it cost to build this road?"

Jiaoniang rolled his eyes, he knew that the old cunning fox was thinking of erecting the memorial archway, but he did not want to take any more money.

"In my opinion," Jiaoniang coughed dryly, "How about we make a bid? This road will probably need a lot of repair, and once it is repaired, everyone will be able to use it. Furthermore, we will have to maintain it in the future, this is also a lot of money. It would be better if the names of those who have contributed to this path could be carved onto the monolith. "

Everyone was at a loss, what was Jiaoniang thinking of saying after going around in such a huge circle? Jiaoniang had no choice but to interject, "The higher the price, the greater the contribution, the greater the name."

Everyone had wanted to suppress their opponent for the rest of their lives, wishing that they could have a chance to compete for wealth. Jiaoniang's words were full of energy, he originally wanted to preserve his reputation, but now he felt that it was even rarer, whoever donated more would have the biggest name, this was a unique path, who wouldn't know of this road in the future?

After thinking about it, everyone agreed that they would discuss this matter at the Qiao Family Restaurant the day after tomorrow. At that time, even the merchants who wanted to offer their services would come over, and the few old foxes were initially unwilling to do so. Although their financial resources were among the best in the county, wouldn't it be awkward if someone outside the mountains took the top spot?

Old Qian's wine shop could not afford to spend that much money. Even if he had the money, he did not plan to join in on the excitement since he planned to invest his money into the tofu business. On the way back, the few old men gathered together and chatted warmly, pushing Wu Sinan aside.

If anyone had the chance to interfere, they would definitely be the second son of the Wu Family, a young master from a wealthy family who had been left behind. Although it was said that they were being given a position, the value of the new items that they brought from the capital wasn't low. However, if they were still favored by the government, how could they be reduced to such a poor and destitute place?

Wu Sinan snorted coldly. He was still disdainful of walking with these rotten old men, but just as he was about to leave on his horse, he remembered that he had come with other motives. So he asked Jiaoniang: "Do you have any cooked food at home?"

He had been eating too much at Qiao Family Restaurant these past few days, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of Jiaoniang. Hence, he came to see Jiaoniang without eating anything, and also wanted to stay at Jiaoniang's house for food.

Jiaoniang naturally did not reject the potential customer, and allowed the two to bring Wu Sinan home after packing. He also stir-fried a few small dishes for Wu Sinan to feast on.

Watching Jiaoniang's group walk off, Ji Dahe couldn't help but exclaim, "She's clearly just a weak young lady, how could she be able to play around with those old cunning foxes?"

"What does Uncle Ji mean?" Ichiro asked curiously.

Old Uncle Liang chuckled and told him to work quickly.
