Chapter 179 Squid Strips Online
The case, which was thought to require more effort, was soon solved after He Mingkui's self-exposure.
When those in charge saw that the young master had told the truth, they knew that if they continued to argue they would only receive more punishment, so they simply confessed everything.
Everyone's confessions matched and they explained everything clearly. Qin Zhen immediately had all of them, including He Shaodong, put in jail.
After arresting everyone, he was a little dazed as he held the villagers' testimonies.
The villagers said that the disaster happened because the Yin mother and daughter refused to sell oyster sauce to Fengweilou.
Oyster sauce?
He seemed to have heard some rumors recently that dishes made with this oyster sauce are very delicious.
Oyster?
Is it made from oysters?
Qin Zhen stared at the word "oyster" for a while before he called his subordinate over and asked him to find out more about the oyster sauce.
As a county magistrate, he had the responsibility and obligation to manage this land well. But living a life of mediocrity was not his dream. His dream was that under his governance, the people would live and work in peace and contentment, and no one would be poor anymore.
This dream is a little ridiculous.
After all, the place he managed was as remote as it could be, and it was only within sight of the city. The surrounding villages had been poor for generations, and it was not easy to get rid of poverty.
He went to Yongzhou some time ago to promote some local seafood, but people only bought a small amount and he didn't even earn enough to cover the round-trip fare.
It's a bit powerless to think about it.
Qin Zhen rubbed his brows, put the testimony aside, and continued to deal with other cases.

The young master of Fengweilou was formally arrested and imprisoned. The news spread like wildfire, and in less than an hour, everyone who should know knew about it.
Dongfuju put up a discount sign, attracting all the old customers of Fengweilou.
The once bustling Fengweilou now has no customers at all.
No one cared what the young master had done wrong; they just laughed at him.
The diners spread the news quite quickly. Within overnight, many people in the neighboring city of Cangsu knew about it.
As soon as we entered the restaurant, several tables were talking about this.
Today is the day when Zuiyipin releases its new wine, and also the day when squid strips are first sold.
Zhang Huai stared at the waiter who was serving the dishes. Each of them was very well-trained and the amount of squid shreds he picked out was neither too much nor too little.
A small handful, placed loosely on the plate, looks like a lot.
When they first start selling, there aren’t usually many buyers, so these are given away for free to regular customers of the restaurant.
"Master Mu, this is our restaurant's new appetizer. The owner gave it to you for free. I hope you like it."
"Mr. Qian, this is our restaurant's new appetizer. The owner gives it to you for free. I hope you like it."
"Mrs. Bai, this is..."
Table after table was filled with delicious squid shreds.
Zhang Huai is a generous person. He served a plate of squid shreds with various flavors. No matter what flavor the guests like, there is always one that can impress them.
Feedback from the dinner table came quickly.
"Boss! Just now, Mr. Mu said he really likes squid shreds and wants to buy a pound to take away."
"Boss! Young Master Qian said he would give us two more plates of shredded squid!"
“…………”
Zhang Huai felt very happy when he heard the waiters' responses.
Although I had expected it to be popular with customers when I bought it, I was still a little uneasy until I heard from customers that they liked it.
Now I can finally feel relieved.
At this rate, the little squid shreds I bought may not be enough to sell...
Zhang Huai walked around the restaurant with his hands behind his back, and after hearing several guests praising the squid shreds, he immediately made a decision.
He wants to go to Lianjiagou again and sign another squid contract with Miss Jiang!
The new squid shreds stole the limelight on the first day of Zuiyipin's new wine sales. Many customers bought one or two kilograms of squid shreds to eat at home.
As a rival, Huo Lao Er of Fubailou also received the news. And his subordinates also bought some squid shreds.
“Is this the popular squid strips from Zui Yi Pin?”
It smells nice, but who hasn't tasted squid in coastal areas? How delicious can a cheap squid that costs only four or five cents a pound be?
With this question in mind, he still tasted two.
He chewed the two squid strips for a very long time. The more he chewed, the more delicious it became, and the more he wanted to eat it.
Huo Lao Er subconsciously opened a bottle of wine, took a sip and felt that this thing and wine were perfectly matched.
Born to be sold in a wine shop.
Where did this thing come from? ?
It seems that Zhang Huai found it after he went to Lianjiagou.
Changqi, ah, Changqi, you are so useless.
We went to Lianjiagou together, but Zuiyipin Restaurant had already started selling new dishes, but he hadn't returned yet.
Huo Changqi, who was being talked about by his second uncle, had just walked into his own house. He brought back a lot of things, so of course he went home first to report his safety and see his mother and grandmother.
By the way, distribute the delicious food you bought.
As for his second uncle, he forgot.

It's a new day, and the sun is shining brightly.
Jiang Wan couldn't sit still, so she rented a boat today, hired Lian Yue and Lian Qiao to be her boatmen, and then went out to sea to fish.
The days when she couldn't go out to sea were very uncomfortable. She went out to sea to fish. With her good luck, she might be able to bring back something good.
Yes, Jiang Wan felt that she was very lucky.
The big piece of ambergris in the house is proof of this.
No matter what, I'm going to try casting a wide net today and get more seafood to eat.
Lian Qiao was rowing the boat at the back, Lian Yue was collecting the fishing nets at the bow, and Jiang Wan was eating snacks and resting in the cabin.
When Lian Yue was packing up his fishing nets, he suddenly remembered what Doctor Yin said yesterday, and his heart was moved.
"Xiao Wan, will your family collect more oyster meat from the village when you make oyster sauce?"
"I don't think so... There are only so many oysters in our village and nearby areas. If I collect too much, I won't be able to get more oysters later. I will have to go to the next village or even farther to collect them. It will be very troublesome."
Jiang Wan is not so short of money now, and now that she has the squid shreds business, she doesn't want to do any troublesome business.
Besides, she couldn't feel at ease with the oyster meat she bought from outside as it was made by the villagers.
If the quantity is too large, it would be hard to say what would happen if there was any negligence.
"If we can supply it in our village without having to go elsewhere, will you buy more?"
"This...if we can supply it, then it's possible..."
Jiang Wan was stunned.
What does Lian Yue mean by this?
Could it be that he wants to engage in breeding? ?
