Chapter 107: That’s not called a black and white cow, that’s called a dairy cow!
The Xie family seems to be prosperous now, but in fact it has long been torn apart and is in danger.
Once Xie Qingyu died, the Xie family would be plunged into endless internal strife, and the Chu family would surely take advantage of the situation.
"The Weiyang election will be held next year. Chu Yeyou has been eyeing the position of president for a long time. I'm afraid she will become desperate and do something more extreme. Young Master, why don't you let the twins come back?" Rao Ji suggested.
Hearing this, Feng Yang frowned, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, but thinking that the safety of the young master was the most important thing, he endured it and suppressed his anger.
Xie Qingyu thought for a moment and said slowly: "They have their own things to do, there is no need to recall them. Compared to this, I care more about Miss Liang."
Rao Ji nodded thoughtfully. He had been in the business world for so many years and had seen countless people. There was indeed something strange about this Miss Liang.
“Maybe there is someone helping her behind the scenes.” Rao Ji thought.
Not to mention that she was able to guess that the Chu family was the mastermind behind the incident, the mere fact of hoarding food was very suspicious.
Seeing that food prices are rising, and food prices will definitely continue to rise this year, it stands to reason that now is definitely not the best time to sell, but she seems to have a bigger plan and actually sold all her stocks at this time.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the Liang family." Xie Qingyu ordered.
*
The next day, a shocking incident occurred on the Baidian River outside Shaozhou City.
It is said that before dawn today, a boatman found a female corpse by the river while fetching water.
"I heard that she was a prostitute on Red Street. No one knows what happened to her. Her body was covered with wounds. Her head and neck were only connected by a layer of skin. She must have suffered a lot when she died. It's pitiful."
While preparing breakfast, Grandma San chatted with Liang Jinyu.
Liang Jinyu's stomach churned after hearing this, and she lost her appetite.
"Where is the body?" Liang Jinyu asked.
The third wife brought two more side dishes and shook her head, saying, "Nine out of ten times, the government dealt with it. Alas, people like them won't even get a coffin when they die. At most, they'll just be thrown on a mat at a mass grave."
"Who threw it into the mass grave?" Liang Hui came in yawning.
When the third wife saw the man's dishevelled clothes and messy hair, she immediately jumped to her feet in anxiety.
"My dear aunt, why did you come out like this? Isn't there water in your room? Why don't you wash up? Come here quickly, I will fix your hair for you." As she said this, the third grandma washed her hands and was about to tie Liang Hui's hair.
Liang Huiren was still asleep, and was dragged away in a daze. She immediately shouted angrily: "Don't worry about me, let go, don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to let go!"
Since she came to the Liang family, no one has ever dared to yell at her like this, and the third wife's expression suddenly froze.
Liang Jinyu leisurely drank a mouthful of corn porridge and looked at the two of them again. One was old and the other was young, but they actually looked more real.
"Don't treat me like Wang Juaner. I can do my own things." Liang Hui rubbed her arm and turned to the table to eat.
[Fuck, how can an old woman have such strong hands? It hurts me so much. ]
The third wife had a long face, but in the end she was still concerned about Liang Hui's identity and did not bother with her.
Liang Jinyu handed Liang Hui a bun and asked, "Juan'er and Wang You have to go to Mr. Yao's class every day. Do you want to go?"
Liang Hui shook her head and said vaguely while eating her buns: "I won't go."
[After all, I have received nine years of compulsory education, so I have no problem with literacy and arithmetic. Instead of wasting time with them, I should think about what I can do to make money.]
Liang Jinyu raised her eyebrows, becoming more and more curious about what kind of world Liang Hui had lived in before. It was incredible that everyone could read and write.
After dinner, Liang Jinyu planned to go to the grocery store.
When he was about to go out, Liang Hui followed him out, dressed neatly.
"Where are you going? Take me with you." Liang Hui asked.
A pigtail with sparse hair hung on her chest, without even an extra hair accessory, and the clothes she was wearing were still Juan'er's.
I'll buy her two sets of clothes later, Liang Jinyu thought.
Liang Hui walked and stopped here and there. Whenever she saw a pastry shop or a teahouse, she wanted to go in and take a look. After looking around, she would mutter to herself about what kind of business she could start.
Liang Jinyu recalled the lifelike pastries she had made in other people's bun shops before, and guessed her plan.
Sure enough, after visiting several shops, Liang Hui asked her, "If I can make soft, delicious and beautiful pastries, will anyone buy them?"
Liang Jinyu thought seriously and said, "First, you have to decide who you want to sell your cakes to? How much do you want to sell them for?"
"Of course we sell it to whoever wants to buy it." Liang Hui blurted out, but then she shook her head.
[No, the ingredients needed to make bread are expensive, especially honey and milk, which most people can’t afford.]
"The cakes I sell are time-consuming and labor-intensive, so the price is definitely not low, just like the ones sold at Jiuxiangsi, maybe even more expensive than theirs."
Liang Jinyu shook her head: "Although there is no shortage of wealthy people in Shaozhou City, it may not be easy to make a new dish that is so expensive."
If Yuan's Restaurant or Chu's Teahouse offered such expensive pastries, perhaps someone would buy them.
But Liang Hui is just a child, and others would just think she is fooling around.
"That's because you haven't eaten it. If you've eaten the pastries I made, you wouldn't think they're expensive." Liang Hui was a little unconvinced.
Liang Jinyu smiled and guided him, "How about this, you go back and try to make it first. If it's really as delicious as you say, you can put it in the grocery store and let Tang Xian help you sell it."
Liang Hui thought about it and realized that she had to take the animal out for a walk to know whether it was a mule or a horse.
But soon, Liang Hui realized that things were far from as simple as she thought. She couldn't even get all the ingredients needed to make bread, let alone an oven.
"Black and white cow?"
In the grocery store, Tang Xian couldn't help laughing as if he had heard something out of the ordinary. "I've never seen that before. The Great Zhou only has yellow cattle and water buffaloes. I've never heard of black and white cows that are specifically used to produce milk."
"That's not called a black and white cow, that's called a dairy cow!" Liang Hui corrected helplessly.
Tang Xian treated her as a child and coaxed her, "Yes, yes, call me cow."
Liang Hui was speechless for a while, then thought for a while and asked, "Then there must be yeast, right?"
Tang Xian looked at Liang Jinyu in confusion. Liang Jinyu shook her head, saying that she had never heard of it either.
"How come you don't have this and don't have that? Then what do you have?" Liang Hui was spinning around in a panic.
She is an orphan, and was able to go to school thanks to the good national policies. Later, she went out to work before finishing vocational high school.
In order to make a living, she did all kinds of jobs, including picking up waste, working in factories, setting up stalls, and doing manicures.
Later, through an introduction, I went to work in a bakery. I didn't make much money, but at least I learned the skill of making bread.
Two years later, she used her saved money to study at a pastry school, hoping to open her own small shop after graduation. But who knew she would end up traveling through a book!
"Oh." Liang Hui sighed helplessly, feeling a sense of frustration as if she was a good cook but unable to cook without the rice.
"Hui'er." Liang Jinyu shouted.
Liang Hui didn't react until Liang Jinyu called her the third time before she realized she was being called.
"Please sit in the shop for a while. I'll go out for a while."
Liang Hui raised her head and glanced at Tang Xian, then immediately stood up: "I'll go with you."
[How dare you let a little girl like me stay alone with this strange man. I'm impressed.]
Liang Jinyu paused when she heard this and turned around to look at Tang Xian.
He has regular facial features and a straight body. Although he is not as energetic as a teenager, he is steady and reliable, and does not look like a bad person at all.
"Are you not leaving yet?" Liang Hui urged.
As the two of them left the grocery store, Liang Jinyu said, "Shopkeeper Tang is a kind, respectful, and courteous person. He is warm, kind, and courteous to others. He is not a bad person."
[Every parent whose child was molested by an acquaintance would say this: It’s your business if you believe him, but I only trust my own judgment.]
Liang Hui was disdainful in her heart, but she said perfunctorily: "I know."
Liang Jinyu sighed but said nothing.
She didn't know what Liang Hui had gone through that made her so defensive, but her concerns were not unreasonable.
As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. She believed in Tang Xian based on the time they spent together, but to Liang Hui, Tang Xian was just a strange man, and it was understandable for her to be wary of strangers.
"By the way, where are you going?" Liang Hui suddenly remembered to ask.
Liang Jinyu glanced at her and comforted her, "Don't worry, we won't go in."
Liang Hui was confused by what she heard until she followed Liang Jinyu through several streets and arrived at the gate of a dilapidated courtyard. Only then did she realize something was wrong.
