Chapter 410: Roasted White Tiger Claws Should Be Delicious
Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two months, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Beijia Village area.
At this time, houses were rising from the ground on both sides of the river. Although the roofs were not yet covered, there were signs of prosperity all around.
Because the Xu family needs a large number of workers, more and more people are gathering here.
This has also driven the development of the Beijia Village area.
At the original entrance of Beijia Village, there was originally just a small stall selling food, but now it has become a small market, and this small market is becoming more and more lively.
Every day, many people travel between Beijia Village and other villages.
Lin Mo saw the business opportunity and in order to attract more people here, he sent people to other places to get a lot of things to enrich the business of the small market at the entrance of the village.
Many of them are necessities needed for people's lives, such as salt and sugar.
The Qi family has already refined refined salt.
And a batch was sent to Lin Mo. It was this salt that attracted many people to come.
After all, the price of salt has always been high in Mocheng. No one would be stupid enough to go against money when there is cheap salt to buy.
It has to be said that the Qi family has extensive connections.
It was obviously contraband salt, but he managed to get the salt primer for Lin Mo.
With this thing, Lin Mo can safely use salt to attract people here and expand the popularity of Yuancheng.
Yes, to let the world know about this place.
She and Xu Wuyan discussed and decided to name this area Yuancheng.
This place will become a city in the future.
At the beginning, many people were not used to this name. After all, it was just a small village, how could it be called a city?
But as time passed, people began to accept it.
To come here, we no longer say we are going to Beijia Village, but we say we are going to Yuancheng.
Yuancheng's reputation is expanding step by step.
At the same time, Yuancheng is surrounded by greenery.
The corn that has been planted has grown to two to three feet tall at this time.
At first glance, it's full of vitality.
Everyone working in the fields had a look of joy on their faces. The crops were growing well and they were looking forward to a good harvest in the autumn.
Lin Mo no longer does everything herself, but delegates the tasks to others and only makes decisions.
Despite this, she remains busy every day.
After finally sitting down to rest, her mother came in holding Xu Ziyue.
But when he saw her, the originally quiet Xu Ziyue struggled and reached out to her to hug her, and even the strong Liu Ying couldn't hold him.
Xu Ziyue is the child they adopted before.
This is the name Xu Wuyan gave him.
After Liu Ying's careful feeding over this period of time, he has become plump and anyone who sees him can't help but want to pinch him.
"No!" Liu Ying hugged the struggling Xu Ziyue tightly:
"Your mother is tired and can't hold you!"
This kid is getting stronger and stronger. If he gets any bigger, I won’t be able to hold him anymore.
In just a moment, Liu Ying was so tired that she was gasping for breath.
Lin Mo shook her head and stretched out her hand to him, "Mom, let me hold him."
Xu Ziyue fell into Lin Mo's arms and immediately lay on her obediently, looking at her quietly with his big black eyes. He was unspeakably quiet.
Seeing this, Liu Ying rolled her eyes:
"This kid knows how to read people's faces at such a young age. What will happen to him when he grows up?"
Lin Mo laughed, "Mom, isn't this a good thing?
You want him to be stupid and ignorant, right?"
At this point, she smiled and reached out to touch Xu Ziyue's chubby little face:
"Xu Ziyue, don't you think so?"
As soon as she teased him, Xu Ziyue immediately grinned at her.
But the toothless child...
Lin Mo laughed foolishly.
Seeing them laughing like fools, Liu Ying shook her head in disgust.
She glanced at the big house across the river:
"Momo, the house over there is almost finished. When are you planning to move in?"
There are more and more idle people here now, but they still live in tents, and she is worried that they are not safe.
Especially in the past few days, there are a lot more tall men hanging around.
Although they were wandering around, she always felt that they were looking at Xu Ziyue, even though they looked away when she looked over.
But she still had an uneasy feeling.
"Almost there!" Lin Mo looked up:
"Mom, you've worked hard these days.
The house is already being prepared and cleaned up, and we can move in in half a month."
She originally wanted to clean up a few rooms to live in first, and then deal with the rest later.
But Old Xu wants to move in after the house is ready.
She calculated the time and decided that a dozen days wouldn't be too much of a problem, so she agreed to his proposal.
"Silly child, why are you telling me this?" Liu Ying shook her head:
"Mom is just looking after your children, why is it so hard?"
Lin Mo smiled, "Mom, after we move in, you can live with us first.
Your house is being built next to ours, but construction hasn't started yet. Once ours is finished, we'll start yours.
Mom, you don’t mind, right?
Liu Ying shook her head. She had no objection to this.
She thought of those sneaky people and told Lin Mo about her concerns.
Lin Mo frowned.
Could it be that those people came?
In order not to scare her mother, Lin Mo chuckled, "Mom, maybe there are so many people around recently, and you're nervous and feeling wrong.
Don't worry, leave it to me, everything will be fine."
"Is that so?" Liu Ying always felt something was wrong.
"Mom, don't you still believe me?" Lin Mo said seriously:
"I have arranged a lot of people here. If anyone dares to cause trouble, Xu Ping'an and the others will throw them out before anything happens. You don't have to worry about safety."
After comforting Liu Ying and sending her out, Lin Mo immediately called Xu Ping'an in.
"Ping'an, during this time, you must lead your men to keep an eye on strangers entering Origin City, especially those who don't look like farmers. Keep a close eye on them."
As soon as she said this, Xu Pingan immediately became serious:
"Young Madam, what happened?"
"I suspect someone sneaked in, and is coming for Xu Ziyue." Lin Mo told Liu Ying about her discovery.
For these things, it is better to be prepared than not to be prepared at all.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, check it out.
She had to figure out why those people were looking at her mother and the others.
The fact that her mother noticed it was definitely not an accident.
"Young Madam, I'll check it out right away." Xu Ping'an said with a serious face.
Someone actually sneaked in here. If this matter gets out, they will be embarrassed.
And if anything goes wrong, they will be to blame.
A stranger with ill intentions sneaked in, but they didn't notice it. It seems that they have been lax during this period and it's time to give them a good crackdown.
"Yeah." Lin Mo nodded:
"Also, secretly arrange for a few more people to protect my mother and the others."
After Xu Ping'an went down, Lin Mo frowned and stood up.
If he really came for Xu Ziyue, is he an enemy or a friend?
It seems that I have to mention this to Old Xu when he comes back in the evening.
Forget it, let’s deal with other things first.
And at this moment.
Xu Pinggui walked in with a cold expression, "Young Madam, there's a disturbance at the market at the entrance of the village."
"The same old rules, just beat the guy up and throw him away." Lin Mo disagreed and continued to look through the account book in his hand.
In the past few months, money has been spent like water, while the income has been pitifully small.
You have to find a way to make money.
"The person who comes is no ordinary person. He is the chief manager of Ruyixing." Xu Pinggui said.
Lin Mo, who was flipping through the account book, paused.
She let go of the account book, looked up at Xu Pinggui, and frowned:
"You mean Li Xianlie, the head shopkeeper of Ruyixing?"
Li Xianlie's Ruyixing is the largest trading company in Mocheng. It runs a lot of businesses, but he didn't expect to attract the other party.
Seeing Xu Pinggui nod, Lin Mo stood up:
"What does the other party want to do here? Cause trouble?"
"It's not really a disturbance, but it's not a disturbance." Xu Pinggui shook his head.
"As soon as he arrived, he asked to sell all our salt."
Lin Mo rolled her eyes, "If this isn't causing trouble, what is it?
You didn't tell him our rules?"
The price of salt here is more than ten cents lower than other places. In order to prevent people from making profits from it, Lin Mo limits each person to buying only two taels of salt a day.
Moreover, the daily supply is limited to ten kilograms of salt, and it will be gone once it is sold out.
"I said it." Xu Pinggui said seriously.
But the other party ignored their request and arrogantly asked them to take out all the salt.
"Since you don't want to listen to my advice, just throw him out." Lin Mo said with indifference.
It's obvious that he's here to cause trouble. Who gave him the nerve to do that?
Does he really think this is a place where he can run wild?
"They came prepared, and everyone left in the market was knocked down by them." Xu Pinggui shook his head.
"Guess who's backing them?"
Lin Mo looked up and saw Xu Pinggui's expression, and instantly understood, "Someone from the White Tiger Hall?"
Seeing Xu Pinggui nod, Lin Mo sneered, "It seems that the White Tiger Hall has developed quite well in the past two months, and now it dares to show its claws to us.
Come on, I'll take you to chop off the tiger claws. They should be delicious when roasted!"
After saying that, she strode out of the tent.
