At the same time, Tang Wen drove her to the county town in an ox cart.
"Sister, what happened? You are so anxious!"
"Brother, there's something wrong with our food! Don't tell anyone about it, I'm just guessing! Go report it to the police now and say someone poisoned it, quickly..."
Tang Wen was terrified when he heard this. "Sister, does that mean our planting secrets can no longer be kept?"
Tang Youyou stuffed a ten-ounce silver ingot into his hand and said, "Find a way to get County Magistrate Zhang to accept it. Ask him to keep it a secret. From now on, our village will take care of all the winter vegetables in his mansion!"
He hurried to the Jia Mansion, but was told that Mr. Jia had just gone to the city two quarters of an hour ago.
"Housekeeper, where are the dishes? Where are the dishes I pulled out this morning?"
Seeing her anxious expression, Housekeeper Jia was confused and said, "The food was taken directly to the capital!"
"What?"
She didn't have time to think about it. She was like an ant on the hot pan. If there was really a problem with this batch of vegetables and someone died after eating them, the whole village would be doomed.
"Butler, do you have a carriage? I need to go to the government office, please help me..." She added two taels of silver.
Seeing that she was indeed anxious, Housekeeper Jia pushed the silver back and said, "There is indeed a carriage in the mansion, but the driver has gone with the master. Do you know how to drive it?"
She didn't even think about it, "Yes, yes, yes..."
Actually, it’s bullshit. Ox cart and horse carriage are two different concepts.
He vomited the breakfast he had eaten along the way, and hurried to the Zui Xiang Lou mentioned by the housekeeper!
The waiter in the shop did not look down on her because of her clothes. On the contrary, he greeted her warmly.
"Hey...ma'am, how many are you?"
Tang Youyou pointed at the carriage and said, "Please feed the horses. I'll go find your shopkeeper!" Then he walked straight into the store.
The waiter was bewildered. Looking at the reins in his hands, he had no choice but to lead the carriage to the backyard.
At this time, it was almost the evening hour and there were many diners in the lobby.
Tang Youyou went straight to the counter. A middle-aged man in a dark robe was using an abacus. He raised his eyelids to glance at her and then lowered his head, seeming to be very focused.
"Boss, is my master Jia here? Please let him know, there's something wrong at home!"
Manager Yan was slightly surprised and looked her up and down. He saw that her expression was serious and she didn't seem to be joking.
"Come with me!"
Took her to the private room on the second floor.
Inside the house, Mr. Jia and Mr. Jin were very happy about their booming business.
"Brother Jia, it's all thanks to you! If it weren't for you, my restaurant would have closed down!"
"Hey...Brother Jin, what you said is serious. When the old man was here, he took good care of me! Now it's just a small favor, you don't have to be so rude!"
Tang Youyou naturally heard Master Jia's voice and pushed the door open directly.
Master Jin frowned, looked at the shopkeeper Yan who was standing there blankly, and shouted angrily: "Do you have any manners at all?"
Shopkeeper Yan felt extremely aggrieved, his eyes falling on Tang Youyou, "It was her who had to break in!"
I thought to myself: This woman is too fierce? She didn't even knock on the door?
Master Jia waved his hand, his eyes filled with surprise. "Sister, why are you here?"
"You...is this someone from your house?"
Mr. Jia frowned slightly, wondering why she suddenly found this place?
Could it be that she wanted to kick me out and work directly with Brother Jin? She wouldn't be so short-sighted, right?
Tang Youyou also thought of this, but didn't know how to start. However, thinking of the life at stake, she gritted her teeth, pulled Shopkeeper Yan, and closed the door.
"Brother Jia, something happened. This morning, your vegetable harvesters sneaked into the chive field. My right eyelid is twitching! Where are the vegetables? Harvest them quickly!"
Master Jia jumped up and asked, "What?"
Master Jin also frowned, and heard the other party's voice, "Brother Yan, to be honest, this is the kind of vegetable I cook. This is her unique skill. At the beginning, I even specifically told the servants not to enter the vegetable garden!"
After all, Mr. Jin had been in business for many years, so he immediately ordered: "Take back all the vegetables!"
Manager Yan broke out in a cold sweat. Does this mean that someone sneaked into the vegetable garden and poisoned it, trying to frame him?
"Master, the 300 kilograms of food that arrived today has already been distributed. They're probably on the table by now! What should we do?"
"Boss, this is just my guess. Maybe the other party isn't that bold. Go and stop him!"
"Do as she says!" Mr. Jin made a prompt decision.
Tang Youyou sat down on the stool and guzzled two cups of warm tea. Only then did she feel alive again.
"Brother Jia, you should think about whether you have offended anyone recently."
Along the way, she thought a lot. She hadn't offended anyone. Anyone who could risk being beheaded to do this must have something to gain.
No other villages know about this greenhouse, and this vegetable is only sold in wealthy areas and this restaurant.
Master Jia sighed, "I'm an open and honest person, how could I possibly offend anyone?"
Suddenly, he turned his gaze to Mr. Jin, only to see that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Hmph...it's definitely the Tianxianglou across the street! Bah, so shameless! They resort to such despicable tactics!"
Tang Youyou: Tianxiang Tower? Why does the name sound so familiar?
Master Jin suddenly bowed to her and said, "Sister, I'm sorry for getting you into trouble!"
Tang Youyou waved his hand, "Just like Brother Jia said, one more friend means one more path. Right now we are on the same page, so we should come up with a plan as soon as possible!"
Mr. Jia glanced at her and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Mr. Jin: Why doesn’t this sound like a good thing?
"Ahem...Mr. Jin, to be honest, my vegetables are actually selling very well in Qingshui County!
It was Brother Jia who begged me to supply our restaurant. If something goes wrong, you can't just abandon me!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jia looked at her with admiration and said that she was not so short-sighted, but was smart and spoke beautifully.
Master Jin gave a bitter laugh, "Don't worry, I, Jin, am not that shameless!"
Tang Youyou and Master Jia exchanged a glance, and suddenly said, "You don't have to be afraid. If something really happens, we won't be sent to jail. I've already sent someone to report it to the authorities when I got here!"
I just hope nothing goes wrong, otherwise it will be a big trouble.
The three of them could only sit in the house and wait anxiously.
On the other side, he was smiling happily.
"Master, it's done!"
"Haha... This will definitely make Zui Xiang Lou fall flat on his face."
"Young Master is truly resourceful. Master Jia would never have thought he would be stabbed in the back!"
"Haha... He calls himself a gentleman, yet he's monopolized the entire cloth trade in Nanzhou. This time, let's use Zui Xiang Lou to give him a warning!"
Thinking of something, he ordered, "Send someone to speed up the development of the sprouts. When Zui Xiang Lou and Tian Xiang Lou fight each other, it will be Fengwei Ju's turn to take the lead!"
The servant immediately flattered him: "Young Master is really resourceful. With this little trick, he kills two birds with one stone and reaps the benefits!"
The two were very happy.
At the same time, a diner in the lobby of Zui Xiang Lou suddenly felt severe abdominal pain and fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.
“Someone’s dead…someone’s dead…”
