Chapter 58. Xu Rao left in the afternoon, she...
Xu Rao left in the afternoon. Her father picked her up on her beloved motorcycle. She couldn't have dinner at Jiang Can's house, but Jiang Can made her a separate lunchbox of spicy shredded tripe! She took it home as an extra meal.
Shen Lang returned around 10 p.m. He hugged Jiang Can and kissed her, saying, "Why bother worshipping the God of Wealth? Just worship you."
This newly signed big deal is related to human traffickers.
One of the rescued babies was the only son of the wealthy Song family in Haicheng. The richest couple had their son when they were over forty years old, and they doted on him like a precious jewel. However, he was lost by the nanny.
The child was too young and had been given a large amount of sedatives. They took the baby to the provincial hospital for examination that night. To thank Shen Lang, they signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Chaomei Cotton Mill.
With the support of the Song family, Chaomei's future path is too smooth.
If even this can't make it the number one textile company in Henan Province, Shen Lang might as well just sell the factory.
Jiang Can: "Then goodbye."
He bowed three times to Jiang Can.
"Husband and wife bow to each other, one bow is like two red flowers blooming together, their hearts are intertwined."
"May we forever be in love and bound by a bond of hearts."
"Three bows to symbolize perfect harmony, may you grow old together in love."
Jiang Can blushed; this was too blatant!
Shen Lang reached out and picked up Jiang Can, saying, "Take him to the bridal chamber."
After a long, long time, Shen Lang hugged Jiang Can with a satisfied look on his face. He felt a little hungry and remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, so he got up to cook instant noodles. Jiang Can was exhausted and also wanted to eat instant noodles, and even wanted to add an egg.
Shen Lang got up to cook noodles. After the water boiled, he put in four bags of Guanshengyuan egg instant noodles, cracked four eggs on top, added a handful of green vegetables, and finally drizzled some sesame oil on top. It was ready to eat.
Jiang Can put on her pajamas and took out the spicy shredded tripe from the refrigerator.
The two ate noodles together.
Jiang Can had a small bowl, and Shen Lang had a large bowl. The noodles were topped with poached eggs and green leafy vegetables, and they smelled especially delicious. It was quite satisfying to eat a bowl of noodles in the middle of the night.
Shen Lang picked up a piece of tripe with his chopsticks and praised it, saying it was delicious.
Jiang Can saw the fruit basket on the table and remembered the little girl from this morning. She said, "A little girl came to thank you this morning. Here, she brought you the fruit basket."
Shen Lang nodded, ignoring the fruit basket, and continued eating his instant noodles with shredded tripe. It smelled delicious! "Wife, how are you so amazing? Any food that passes through your hands tastes incredibly good."
After finishing his meal, he took an orange, peeled it, ate a segment, and said, "It's so sweet, you should try it."
He peeled a petal and held it to Jiang Can's lips.
Jiang Can took a bite, shuddered from the sourness, and frowned. "So sour!" She then stomped on Shen Lang's foot!
Shen Lang called out to Hu Zi, and Hu Zi wagged its tail and ran over. He threw the orange to Hu Zi.
Tiger ate it in one bite with a "woof," but it was so sour that his mouth watered. He barked at Shen Lang, looking very angry.
Shen Lang smiled smugly, "We share both good times and bad! We're a loving family."
Jiang Can: ...
She also went to the fruit basket to pick oranges, determined to choose the sourest one. After rummaging around for a bit, she realized something was wrong. She took out all the fruit and found several stacks of hundred-yuan bills underneath.
No need to count, this stack contains one hundred sheets, worth ten thousand yuan.
There are five stacks in total.
fifty thousand!
Such immense wealth and power.
Jiang Can and Shen Lang exchanged a glance. Jiang Can said, "That girl's name is Xie Yu. She came with her father. She's from Beijing."
Shen Lang: "We're so far away, and we don't even know where they live, so we definitely can't return it. How about... we buy some gold to calm our nerves?"
Jiang Can: "Okay."
Shen Lang: "If it's too much to bear, how about we deposit it in the bank first?"
Jiang Can smiled: "No, not at all." She put the peeled orange into Shen Lang's mouth. Shen Lang chewed it, then quickly spat it out. It was so sour it made his teeth ache.
Jiang Can: "Huh? This is sour too? I don't know where they bought these oranges, they're such a rip-off. I'll just eat an apple instead."
The two looked at Tiger, "Tiger, want some oranges? They're sweet and sour oranges."
Tiger howled twice, then tucked its tail between its legs and ran away; it didn't want to eat!
For the next two days, Shen Lang was not busy, traveling between Liao County and Dongping City. Jiang Can told him that he didn't need to travel back and forth every day and could just stay at the factory.
Shen Lang refused; he wanted to go home and hug his wife.
Several more guests arrived at the house, all to thank Shen Lang for saving their lives. Among them was a girl with long curly hair named Song Yue, who came three times in one day, wanting to thank Shen Lang in person, but unfortunately, she didn't run into him each time.
That evening, Song Yue waited at the entrance of the residential area. When she saw Shen Lang driving into the area, she quickly stopped his car.
Shen Lang rolled down the car window. "What's up?"
Song Yue walked over and stood in front of the car. "Brother Shen, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I..."
Shen Lang glanced at it and said, "It's you."
Song Yue smiled gently: "Brother Shen, you still remember me?"
Shen Lang: "The one I threw into the human traffickers. You're welcome, I didn't do it to save you."
Song Yue's eyes were slightly red. "Brother Shen, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. I am willing to repay you with my body. Don't worry, I will not appear in front of Sister Can Can. You... do whatever you want me to do." After saying that, she lowered her head slightly, revealing a section of her slender neck.
When she looked up again, the car had sped away, leaving only its taillights visible.
Song Yue stomped her foot in anger and quickly chased after him. Unfortunately, by the time she entered the residential area, there was only one car left, and Shen Lang had already gone upstairs.
After Shen Lang got home, he quickly took a few more glances at Jiang Can, feeling that his eyes had been tainted by that pretentious woman.
Who came to our house? Were there quite a few people?
Jiang Can: "Four. One of them came three times. It seems he won't give up until he sees you."
Shen Lang: "I saw him at the entrance of the community. He was giving me flirty looks and even said he would repay me with his body. I was so scared that I stepped on the gas and rushed home. Our address has probably been exposed. We're moving to Ruyi City tomorrow. I'm always coming to thank you, but that's not enough to disturb your studies. Besides, my parents have probably heard about it and are coming to visit soon."
Jiang Can shared the same thought; she felt that her biological father and stepmother were probably going to find their address soon.
It's not that she can't meet them; she has ways to deal with the Jiang family, but it's more satisfying to let them worry about it.
They moved the next morning. Ruyi City was fully furnished, so they could move in immediately. They just needed to bring their usual belongings. Jiang Can gave a gift to their neighbor across the hall and also left Ruyi City's phone number and address with Miao Miao, telling her to keep in touch.
Jiang Can was actually quite reluctant to part with his neighbor across the hall; they got along so well.
They also expressed their apologies, saying that there might be people coming to their door frequently recently, which would definitely disturb Miao Miao's family.
Grandma Yi laughed and said, "What's the big deal? If anyone causes trouble, I'll just call security."
After moving, Jiang Can's home finally became quiet. She could study and memorize in peace, and no one would knock on the door randomly anymore.
Around 10 p.m. that night, Grandma Yi called and said, "Your parents and A-Lang's parents came together and waited at the door for a long time. I told them you had moved, but they didn't believe me and just left. Several other families also came to thank A-Lang, saying that he had saved them."
Jiang Can: "Thank you so much for your help today. I'll make you spicy rabbit head another day."
Grandma Yi: "Oh, this is my favorite."
Miao Miao grabbed the phone. "Sister, there's also hot and sour shredded tripe."
Jiang Can: "Yes, we have them all!"
Miao Miao: "Sis, let me tell you, a glamorous young woman was looking for Brother Lang today! I don't think she has any ulterior motives!" Grandma Yi smacked Miao Miao on the head: "Little girl, what do you know!"
Miao Miao: "I saw her loitering around the front gate, then downstairs, and finally upstairs. She even asked me if I knew where Brother Lang was! I'm not going to tell them." After chatting for a while, when she hung up, Miao Miao excitedly told her grandma, "Grandma, Sister Can Can wants to eat stir-fried eel."
Jiang Can: She didn't!!!
Jiang Can didn't care about Song Yue. If someone like her could seduce Shen Lang, then they should just divide the property and get a divorce as soon as possible.
What's the point of living anymore?
In addition, following the clues provided by Shen Lang, Wang Xinhe cooperated with the military to seal off a private estate in He City.
The manor, covering dozens of acres and nestled against the mountains and beside the water, was transformed into a luxurious and extravagant den of iniquity, a lawless haven for the wealthy and powerful, where all sorts of inhumane schemes were perpetrated.
It has also become a cage for countless young girls.
The girls who are abducted go in alive, but if they die, they can never come out. They will be burned to ashes and scattered in the pond.
Wang Xinhe still finds it hard to believe when he recalls it, and he still has nightmares about it at night.
In today's society, for such places to still exist, those people are truly heartless.
Wang Xinhe hoped that there was a hell, so that these people could go to the eighteen levels of hell after they died and be executed.
It was Shen Lang who overturned this hellish cage, rescued so many innocent girls, and also exposed the darkness of He City.
Wang Xinhe felt this deserved at least a second-class merit! And that wasn't all! One of the abducted girls was from the Xie family—she was the granddaughter of a founding general!
Shen Lang might be awarded a first-class merit!
Wang Xinhe felt that Shen Lang and his wife must be his lucky stars, so he gave all the credit to him. He could consider buying a house in the city this year, and his job was probably going to be transferred to the city.
Sigh, we don't have much money at home, so we probably can't afford a house!
Fortunately, my employer provides housing, so I don't need to buy a house.
Before we knew it, it was the tenth day of the lunar month, and the New Year was drawing to a close.
The warehouse in the suburbs has been under construction and renovation. Jiang Can, Xu Rao, and Fang Yuan have invested 100,000, 50,000, and 50,000 yuan respectively to establish Cancan Food Factory. Jiang Can will hold a 51% stake, while Xu Rao and Fang Yuan will each hold 24.5% stake.
The food factory is divided into two modules: one specializes in producing hot pot-related foods, and the other specializes in producing braised foods, dried meat, and other similar foods.
It corresponds perfectly to Flaming Mountain and Jiang's Relics.
First, we contacted plastic and glass factories to make a batch of packaging. At the beginning, we made fewer varieties, starting with hot pot base, beef balls, pork balls, and fish balls. We also worked with Fangyuan to make mushroom sauce, beef sauce, and chili sauce.
For several days in a row, Jiang Can experimented with various ratios, using almost every type of chili pepper, Sichuan peppercorn, and Sichuan peppercorn available on the market, and finally selected the one that tasted the best.
Shen Lang would always add two spoonfuls of beef sauce to his steamed buns every night, and he would also bring a few bottles from the factory to eat at noon. But they were all gone by the next day, having been shared and eaten by everyone.
Fang Yuan put it at Jiang Ji Restaurant for everyone to try, and everyone thought it was delicious and wanted to buy some to take home.
Xu Rao also added mushroom sauce, beef sauce, and chili sauce to the dipping sauces at Huoyanshan Hot Pot Restaurant, allowing customers to choose freely when making their dipping sauces. The hot pot is even more delicious with it, and the business is booming. No other hot pot restaurant in Liaoxian County can compare to it. Many people from surrounding counties and cities will travel a long way just to eat hot pot.
Xu Rao felt it was time to open a branch, and she mentioned it to Jiang Can, suggesting that they consider opening a Flaming Mountain branch in the city.
Jiang Can would definitely agree; who wouldn't want more money? But it's not something you can just start anytime. You need to rent a place, renovate, find a manager, and hire employees.
These things can't be rushed.
The most pressing matter right now is the CanCan Food Factory.
First, we need to establish the reputation of Cancan Food Factory.
