Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were people who knew both Jian Qingqing and Jian Qingqing. One of them was a widow’s daughter who lived in a lower river village. Her family was poor and did not seem to have the ability to do so.
As for the other Jian Qingqing, everyone knew her. She was the owner of the Jian’s Food Shop, Jian Qingqing. Most people in the county had gone to her food shop to buy food. Even if they had not eaten before, they must have heard of the name of the Jian’s Food Shop and Jian Qingqings name.
Most importantly, the owner of the Jian’s Food Shop, Jian Qingqing, was familiar with the county magistrate of Shifeng County. They seemed to have a very good relationship. There were often people who saw Jian Qingqing going in and out of the county office.
Those who knew the officials were definitely not simple people. Therefore, everyone unanimously believed that the owner of Jian’s Food Shop, Jian Qingqing, was the one who invented fine salt.
Hearing their logical reasoning, Jian Qingqing could be said to be rather impressive. She could not wait to give them a round of applause and sign up for a reasoning societv. if there was one.
For a moment, her emotions were a mess. She did not even care about Wei Wusheng anymore. Just as she was about to ask Ming Zhiyan what was going on, she was unexpectedly discovered by someone. “Eh? Do you guys think that girl looks a little familiar?”
“She seems a little familiar.”
Because Jian Qingqing rarely appeared in front of everyone ever since she opened the shop, she only interacted with others when she set up her stall. However, that was also a year ago, so now that everyone saw her, they could not remember her.
Jian Qingqings footsteps froze. She did not expect to be discovered by someone at this point. She took the opportunity before anyone could react and quickly ran away.
One of the audience members saw her running away and his eyes lit up. He suddenly realized something and said, “It’s her! She’s Jian Qingqing, the owner of Jian’s Food Shop!”
Only then did everyone react. “That’s right! It’s her! When she set up her stall, I even went to her place to buy it!”
“Hey! Miss Jian! Don’t run! Come and tell us about that fine salt!”
Hearing the shouts behind her, Jian Qingqing ran even faster. She did not expect to be discovered so quickly. Fortunately, they were not far from the county office, so they could reach her in five or six minutes, when they found her, she had already run some distance.
Just like that, a strange scene appeared on the street. A girl was running in front, and a group of adults chasing after her. The passersby beside her didn’t understand what had happened, an enthusiastic audience member explained, “The one running in front is Jian Qingqing, who invented fine salt!
These words were incredible. The passersby who heard it all started running as well. They were extremely excited.
“Miss Jian, don’t run! Let us thank you properly!”
Jian Qingqing ran even faster. In her previous life, she had never run so fast in the 800-meter dash at school.
However, no matter how fast she was, she was still a girl who was only nine years old. The people chasing behind her were all young adults in their 20s and 30s, so the distance between them became smaller and smaller.
Finally, when they were about to catch up, Jian Qingqing finally arrived at the county office.
She panted and said, “Quick! Quick, stop them!”
The officers on duty did not understand what had happened. When they saw so many people chasing after Miss Jian, they subconsciously stopped the people who were chasing after them.
“What are you doing!” There were only two officers, but there were countless people in the crowd. Because they were in high spirits, they actually dared to push the officers away.
“Quickly let us go and see Miss Jian!”
Of course, the two officers could not stop a group of passionate people, so they quickly lost.
Jian Qingqing took advantage of the time when they were pushing and shoving and immediately ran into the county office, ordering the officers inside to go out and stop the group of people..
