Zhou Wanwan looked at him and asked, "Oh! How much are you planning to pay as an apprentice?"

The eldest prince pondered for a moment and then said, "100,000 taels of silver."

The eldest prince's youngest son Qin Zhao. He is indeed a business prodigy, having earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver by the age of 12.

The eldest prince had originally lived a very frugal life, but since the birth of his youngest son, the family's life has undergone a dramatic change.

He certainly has reason to be proud.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Qin Zhao calmly and said:

"You think you can become someone's apprentice with just 100,000 taels of silver?"

Do you think it's possible for someone to open their heart and share all their business experience with you?

Qin Zhao sneered, "The second part is backed by the people behind you. How could you possibly earn so much money now?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"That's right! I'm just that capable!"

I've managed to find such a benefactor; you'd better find one yourself if you're so capable!

Qin Zhao frowned and said:

"I told you that this girl is completely useless; she just happened to be chosen by someone and thinks she's something special."

Unlike me, I rely on myself for everything. Father, let's go! Don't waste time here with her.

I wouldn't even pay 100,000 taels of silver.

Zhou Wanwan said speechlessly, "I really don't want 100,000 taels of silver."

Qin Zhao snorted coldly and said:

"I admit, your takeout is pretty good, but that's all! Do you think we can't make those other things?"

It's just a matter of whether you want to do it or not. Just you wait, one day I'll take all your takeout business away."

After they left, the third princess parrot repeated:

"Sooner or later, I'll take over all your food delivery business."

Ugh, that youngest son of the eldest prince is really annoying.

Logically speaking, he should call me Third Aunt!

But that kid has always been arrogant and doesn't take me seriously at all.

The Seventh Princess smiled slightly and said:

"The eldest prince has always been arrogant and haughty."

He usually kept to himself and rarely went out, only because he was broke at the time and would only embarrass himself by going out.

Now that I have money, I naturally feel more confident.

The Old Scholar Tree outside said, "What the Seventh Princess said is quite right. The First Prince is indeed that kind of person—narrow-minded and a snob."

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said:

"Why is everyone in Great Qi like this?"

Look at the Crown Prince, then look at this eldest prince, the Great Qi is in deep trouble!

Qin Zhao actually started a food delivery business, simply because food delivery was so profitable.

The popularity of this god of war continues to grow, and the hype surrounding the elixir of immortality is only intensifying.

No one doesn't want to live forever.

Zhou Wanwan sat in the teahouse, listening to the conversations around her. "This time it's not just our Great Xia, many people from the Great Qi Kingdom have come too."

"What people from the Great Qi Kingdom? There are also people from various other countries; I heard that people from more than a dozen countries have come."

"Then things are getting better here, aren't they?"

"Yes, the border area hasn't been this lively in a long time."

There was a war going on for a while, and for the first two months, our people didn't even have enough to eat. Now things are finally better."

"If it weren't for Zhou Wanwan, would we be living such a good life?"

"Ever since the city lord of Yanmen Pass arrived, our lives have gotten better and better. Even when we contracted the plague, it was she who led the way in curing us."

"Yes! This is the true spirit of our Yanmen Pass."

Every civilian living near the border is now grateful to Zhou Wanwan.

Because most of the displaced people work at Zhou Wanwan's farm.

Although it can be tough at times, at least I can eat my fill and have a place to stay.

These people can now also be found in various shops along the border.

Zhou Wanwan sipped her tea and listened to the opera, saying, "The atmosphere in this teahouse is quite nice; it seems there are a lot of people here now."

The third princess said softly, "The teahouse is already full."

Then the waiter said, "Now we'll begin today's storytelling. Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated."

Soon, the old storyteller stood on the stage, cleared his throat, and began his storytelling.

The old man was telling the story of the War God of the Northern Frontier, which is actually a fantasy novel.

But everyone listened with great enthusiasm.

"What do you think is inside this Northern Frontier War God's Tomb?"

"I've heard that there are peerless weapons and elixirs of immortality inside."

"I heard there are all sorts of gold and silver treasures inside, and all sorts of secret manuals."

"The Northern Frontier War God's Tomb is enormous; to this day, no one has been able to find the entrance."

"I wonder how this Northern Frontier War God's Tomb was built."

This Northern Frontier War God's Tomb is indeed ridiculously large.

The Seventh Princess said softly, "I always felt that this Northern Frontier War God's Tomb had transcended the ordinary and was somewhat eerie."

Zhou Wanwan asked, "What's so weird about it?"

"I just think that the War God's Tomb is too exaggerated and somewhat unrealistic."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly, and at that moment I heard laughter coming from the next private room.

Princess Jianing looked at the Great Qi of Daqi and said, "I heard you are also looking for the entrance?"

The Great Qi smiled and said, "Yes, Princess Jianing also looking for clues? Why don't we search together?"

Princess Jianing nodded and said, "That would be great. We'll go to the Northern Frontier War God's Tomb together then."

The Great Qi said softly, "I obtained a sheepskin map, which cost a great deal to acquire. It contains information about the mechanisms and layout of the tomb."

Princess Jianing nodded and said, "My mother has sent me dozens of expert tomb raiders, so we'll have someone to look after us when we get to the tomb."

The Great Qi already felt that he was outnumbered and outmatched, so he naturally needed to find some helpers.

The Third Princess said softly:

"These two hit it off immediately, Master. What should we do now?"

Should we recruit soldiers and horses and go take a look inside the ancient tomb?

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said, "I'm not very interested in this ancient tomb, so I'd better not get involved. I just want to focus on doing my own business well."

Just kidding, she went to see it when the ancient tomb was being built, okay?

Even after it was completed, she still wandered around inside the ancient tomb.

However, this ancient tomb is not much different from her underground palace. In order to build this ancient tomb, many of the materials were trees that were salvaged from other ancient tombs.

There's no other way!

Time was too tight; it was simply impossible to build a truly massive ancient tomb.

Then the other tombs will have to suffer the injustice.

These trees are truly amazing; they found the tombs of more than a dozen emperors and then completely renovated those tombs.

The current War God's Tomb will definitely not disappoint.

However, opening this War God's Tomb will definitely take a lot of effort.

They absolutely cannot open it in less than a month or two.

As for the next month or two, Zhou Wanwan naturally wanted to make a fortune.

As a result, her business became increasingly successful.

Especially for food delivery, there are nearly 100,000 people outside the War God's Tomb. They say they come for sightseeing, but actually they all want to see what the inside of the War God's Tomb is like.
