Chapter 51: Stone Flower Seeds
"Yes! He came to see these account books two days ago." The warehouse manager was confused to see his boss so surprised. Could there be something wrong with the account books?
"So Manager Fang often comes to check the account books?"
"That's right, Shopkeeper Wu, don't you know?"
Aren’t these two a couple? Didn’t Manager Fang tell Manager Wu about the situation in the warehouse?
"I know, but I don't ask much about it." Shopkeeper Wu learned his lesson this time. He pretended that he hadn't noticed anything and continued to look through the account book in his hand.
Now is not the time yet. She cannot be impulsive and cannot alert the enemy.
At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the account books in her hands, but if she looked closely, she would find that several pages were missing.
Shopkeeper Wu pretended to be casual and asked, "Manager, are you in charge of these account books?"
"No, he's my apprentice. He's been with me for several years. Would you like to meet him, boss?"
"No, I just came over to take a look."
Shopkeeper Wu took the problematic account books with him and took out a few similar ones and put them back in their original places to avoid anyone noticing anything unusual.
When I stepped out of the warehouse, my steps were a little unsteady. I felt that the bright sun outside was too dazzling and it made it difficult to open my eyes.
She didn't dare to approach the truth, nor did she want to believe that the man who had been with her for more than ten years would betray her and that they had a child.
What benefits will it bring to him if Wu’s Embroidery Workshop collapses?
Even though she was standing in the light, she still felt a chill.
This shocking news was hard for Shopkeeper Wu to accept.
But the remaining rationality in her mind told her that she couldn't fall down.
If she fell, Zhang's Embroidery Workshop would be happy to see it happen, but Wu's Embroidery Workshop would most likely fall under her hands. How would she face the ancestors of the Wu family in the future? How would she face her parents?
The Wu Embroidery Workshop was handed over to her, but she messed it up and gave birth to an unfilial descendant in the Wu family?
No wonder, no wonder, she didn't notice anything for so many years...
When Master Pei first said that there might be a rat around her, she suspected her subordinates and confidants, but she never thought of the person next to her.
Over the years, she has already regarded Fang Shangwen as a family member, and Wu's Embroidery Workshop is the hard work of her and Fang Shangwen.
But the cruel and realistic truth is right before our eyes, all the sincerity we have shown over the years has gone to waste!
The most important thing is that she is still trying to control her emotions and continue to be nice to the man beside her, wanting to see what his next plan is.
When I entered the Wu family's house, it was just dinner time. Fang Shangwen came out of the kitchen carrying food. "My dear, you're back? Are you tired? Wash your hands and get ready for dinner. I made my favorite pumpkin cake today."
"Okay." Shopkeeper Wu had a fake smile on his face.
After the food was served, Fang Shangwen kept picking up food for himself and his two children, not caring about himself at all. He looked like a good husband who could not be faulted by anyone.
She had felt the same way before, thinking that although they did not have a passionate love, this kind of ordinary daily happiness was exactly what she was pursuing.
Once the mask was removed, Shopkeeper Wu felt that the man in front of him was hypocritical from head to toe and was just putting on a show.
"Madam, why are you looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?" Fang Shangwen said as he touched his cheek with one hand, trying to remove the dirt on his face.
Shopkeeper Wu shook his head and perfunctorily changed the subject, "No, I just feel that your eyesight is a little dark, my husband. Are you overworked lately?"
"Maybe there's too much going on in the embroidery workshop. Don't worry, ma'am. Come and have a piece of pumpkin cake. I made it myself."
"Okay." In order not to alarm the other party, Shopkeeper Wu smiled sweetly to the person in front of him as usual.

Pei Yian delivered the message to Shopkeeper Wu and returned home. He was going into the mountains with Sui Niang today.
"Sui Niang, I'm sorry I came back late." Pei Yian apologized when he saw Ji Zhisui had packed up everything and was waiting for him.
"Don't worry, Ange, there are still a few burritos hot in the pot, go and have some."
After packing up, the two of them planned to go to the back mountain together.
Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei II hid behind the door, peeking through it and watching the two of them leave together, with a smile on their faces.
Pei Ersao couldn't help but sigh: "Third brother is really good! He's taking the initiative!"
"That's right. Husband and wife should go out and chat more often. What's the point of staying at home every day? And you guys, stop sticking to Sui Niang all day. Let An Ge'er and Sui Niang spend more time together."
Pei Tiantian nodded to show that she understood. Pei Xinghai didn't understand why, so he also nodded in confusion.
On the hill behind North Street, Pei Yian walked in front with a machete. When he encountered tall weeds, he waved the machete to clear the obstacles in front of him.
Ji Zhisui followed behind, and it was obvious that Pei Yian was holding just a simple machete.
But when he swung the machete, his moves were neat and smooth, without a trace of hesitation, as if he was dancing with a sword in his hand.
It's... quite pleasing to the eye.
Ji Zhisui followed behind and admired him for a long time. When he saw him swinging his knife to chop some weeds, he came back to his senses in an instant.
"Anger, wait...don't chop yet!"
After hearing this, Pei Yian stopped what he was doing and turned around with some confusion, "Is there any problem?"
Ji Zhisui walked forward and carefully observed the plants blocking the road in front of him. They were clustered together, with fruits that looked like small lanterns.
She picked one directly, tore off the outer layer, and got the round fruit. Then she removed the outer skin and saw tiny seeds inside.
She held the seeds carefully, smiling happily.
I didn’t expect that I would get something unexpected on this trip up the mountain.
This is called agar-agar seeds, commonly known as ice jelly seeds, and is the raw material for making ice jelly.
Ice jelly does not require complicated ingredients and can be made into a large amount. There are also abundant fruits in the Lingnan area in summer. If the two are combined and made into something delicious, this may become a new business opportunity.
For wraps and pasta, you can replicate them as long as you get a sample, but ice jelly is different.
No one would have thought that these small fruits could eventually turn into transparent ice jelly.
Pei Yian didn't know what this was, but he could tell from Sui Niang's expression that it must be a good thing.
"What is Sui Niang going to do with this?"
Ji Zhisui's eyes lit up when he discovered the ice powder tree. His dark eyes seemed to be filled with stars. "Ange, can you take a few back with you?"
"Okay." Pei Yian looked away somewhat unnaturally, picked up a small hoe and started digging the ground. Ji Zhisui went to the other side and collected all the fruits of the ice powder tree.
