Seeing them enjoying the simple meal, Zhang Siwa couldn't help but feel curious. With a smile on his face, he asked tentatively, "Mom, Fifth Sister, did we give the Cheng family a hard time today?"

Hearing this, Xu Liyun raised her eyebrows slyly at her son, with a confident light in her eyes: "With your mother, the Tiger, and Wu Niang, the Crane, together, is there anything we can't do?"

After saying this, she chuckled, full of pride.

After hearing this, Zhang Siwa chuckled and felt even more proud of his own strategy, as if he had already seen the Cheng family's miserable appearance.

At this time, in the west room, Xiao Youniang was alone, holding the small pillow specially sewed for her by Wu Niang, immersed in a sweet dream, unaware of the disturbances in the outside world.

Little did she know that the Tiger and Crane heroes that were so talked about were actually her beloved mother and sister.

Outside the house, the evening breeze was blowing gently. Xu Liyun sat on the doorstep, surrounded by several children. She recounted with great interest how they had fought against the Cheng family.

The three big men of the Cheng family seemed powerful on weekdays, but they were just paper tigers in reality. They just used a little trick to tie the three men together and taught them a lesson, and they showed more mercy than when they dealt with Manager Liu before.

It wasn't long before the Cheng family's master and his two sons begged for mercy, swearing never to do anything against the law again.

However, Xu Liyun had her own thoughts and did not fully believe the Cheng family's oath.

She knew very well that the Cheng family had a second uncle who held a high position in the capital. If they couldn't swallow this humiliation, they would pretend to be polite on the surface, but secretly ask this second uncle to come back to support them.

So, Xu Liyun secretly planned in her heart that when the time was right, she would join hands with Wu Niang again to visit the Cheng family. It was not necessary to use force. Perhaps just leaving some small "surprises" at the bedside of those gentlemen would be enough to make them unable to sleep or eat.

"Mom, will you continue to be the 'Tiger and Crane Heroes' in the future?"

Zhang Siwa asked curiously.

Xu Liyun pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then answered frankly: "Of course we have to do it! Why not? The Cheng family and Shanyuelou are not the only ones doing evil in Chengguan County, not to mention that the old boss behind Shanyuelou has not shown up yet. How can we let such an old fox go easily if he can raise a son like that and cheat people with Shanyuelou?"

After moving, Xu Liyun and Wu Niang could no longer go to Daxiu Mountain as frequently as before, and they were unfamiliar with the county town. Apart from chatting with neighbors, they had almost nothing to do on weekdays, which made Xu Liyun, who was used to being busy, feel quite uncomfortable.

Now that she had finally found some fun, she naturally enjoyed it and was unwilling to give up easily.

The same goes for Wu Niang. She was a killer in her previous life and now her strength is gradually recovering. However, she has only had one confrontation with Yu He. Wouldn't it be a waste if she doesn't use all her skills?

Zhang Siwa and Xiao Ting expressed their support for the two's decision and urged them to go to bed early after dinner. The family then returned to their rooms to prepare for the new day.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window lattice into the house, and everyone woke up one after another.

However, Xu Liyun discovered that the little girl seemed a little depressed, with her round little face puffy. Every time she met her mother's eyes, she seemed to be silently telling her grievances.

Seeing this, Xu Liyun chuckled, pinched her daughter's smooth cheek, and asked gently: "What's wrong with you, young mother? Are you unhappy to see your mother?"

"Mother is so bad! Mother and sister secretly went out to play without me! I saw it. Mother and sister were not at home last night. Brother said you went out to play!"

The little girl folded her arms across her chest and began to "accuse" in a serious manner.

Wu Niang, who was brushing her teeth, was stunned when she heard this. Xu Liyun was also quite surprised. She didn't expect that Xiao You Niang had discovered their secret last night.

However, considering the child's age, they were not in a position to tell her the details. Xu Liyun had to use the lies Zhang Siwa had previously made up to cleverly appease Xiao Youniang. Finally, she solemnly promised that she would take her with her wherever they went to play in the future. This made the little girl smile again.

After resolving Xiao Youniang's emotions, Zhang Siwa started to prepare to go out and set up a stall.

Recently, his newly hired workers have become gradually skilled, and the braised food business is becoming more and more prosperous. He couldn't help but have the idea of ​​opening a braised food shop.

When his family members found out about this, they all agreed. In addition, as he was frugal in his daily life, he had saved enough money to rent a small store in Chengguan County.

So, he closed his stall early that day, dealt with the remaining goods, and went out with his two sisters and Xiao Ting to look for a suitable store location.

Although Chengguan County is not prosperous, it has grown to a considerable size under Long Yi's many years of governance, and store rents are relatively cheap; a few taels of silver can sustain a business for half a year.

Zhang Siwa thought about it and decided to start with a small business.

When selling braised food, most customers will choose to take it away, so the store does not need to be too big, as long as it has a conspicuous storefront.

Having made up his mind, he contacted Guo, the agent who had helped them purchase the house, and asked him to help find a suitable store.

Guo has extensive connections and is well-informed, so the news came out within two days.

Zhang Siwa informed his old customers in advance and announced that the shop would be closed the next day so that the whole family could go to the shop together.

The little girl, who thought she had grown up, refused to be held and instead followed her brother, skipping and jumping, as the family went from house to house to inspect.

The store recommended by agent Guo is located near the area where people from Guishan gather. There are many snack shops on that street, but there is no braised food shop.

Although the store is small, the facade is spacious and bright. In the future, it will be perfect to put up a large counter at the door to sell braised food.

Although the space in the store is limited, it is still spacious enough to put three or five tables, mainly to leave room for the busy waiters to operate.

There is a kitchen in the backyard, which is unexpectedly spacious and has a stove large enough to accommodate a large pot, leaving enough space for future expansion of production.

The most important thing is that deep in that quaint backyard, there is a quiet and deep well!

When renting a shop, Zhang Siwa had repeatedly emphasized to the shrewd agent Guo that water consumption was a big problem in making authentic braised food. If the shop did not have a convenient source of well water, the laborious task of carrying water from Literary Alley every day was not something that most people could endure.

Fate seemed to be particularly kind to him, and Guo the agent actually found him a shop with its own well water as he wished.

This shop was once run by a kind old couple who sold steaming buns.

A few days ago, a big shot from Shanyue Tower suddenly visited and claimed that he used the secret recipe of steamed buns passed down from the old couple's ancestors. He came specially to repay the debt of favor. Without saying a word, he threw down a bag of fifty taels of silver.
