Chapter 57 Oh No! There's a Thief!
"ah!"
So that’s it!
Lin Shiqi gained new insights.
Then, she began to worry about a problem. "If I know how to make tofu, people will ask me how I know the recipe, right? What if I can't show the source of the recipe? Will they arrest me and bring me to justice?"
Zhou Lang raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It is possible. But..."
"explain!"
"I am also a scholar who has been to school. Books are the best resource. I happened to go to a bookstore today and saw a recipe for tofu. I improved it a little bit and it worked." Zhou Lang said, "I provided the source of the recipe. Shouldn't you give me a share? I won't say too much, but at least 20%?"
Lin Shiqi...a profiteer!
Not a penny to be spent.
Just want to take 20% of her profits!
"Twenty percent, what a joke! You'd better let the government arrest me. It's only half percent at most!"
Seeing her fearless expression, Zhou Lang felt like laughing for some reason.
"You don't have to share the profits. Whatever recipes you want in the future, I'll get them from the book. You can waive my rent. From now on, I'll have whatever you eat. You can't charge me any more fees. Is that okay?"
Lin Shiqi thought about it carefully and said, "Okay."
Just think of it as having a shameless tenant.
She was reluctant to take money from outside, so she just let herself eat and drink, which she could barely accept.
In this way, it is true that all things are inferior except reading.
Fortunately, Zhou Lang went to school and had a name. Otherwise, even if she had a way to make money, she couldn't do it. If she did, she wouldn't have the recipe, and if she was reported by someone who was jealous, she might really go to jail.
It seems that even if Zhou Qinan is not as dangerous as him, Zhou Lang's book has to be read.
You must pass the exam to achieve fame.
…
Having agreed upon this, the two of them dragged Bean out of the city.
Lin Shiqi thought of the lovely Xiao Silang and Xiao Sanya, and went back to buy a few strings of candied haws.
I had to buy candied haws for the two little ones in the third room, and I also had to buy some for the children in the second and eldest rooms.
Although they are old, they are not yet adults.
Be treated equally.
There were six children, so they bought seven skewers. Lin Shiqi ate one skewer on the way and was very happy.
Who isn’t a baby? If a baby makes money, he can buy himself a string of candied haws.
Zhou Lang was driving a ox cart and was about to leave the city.
Suddenly, I saw some soldiers posting a notice, and many people gathered there to watch.
I could still vaguely hear them talking.
"Oh my God! Such a treasonous thing has happened again in our Dayu Dynasty!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, the crown prince is plotting a rebellion, the brothers are at odds, they are trying to murder the emperor, and they are also raising private soldiers and collecting copper coins privately, bringing disaster to the people..."
"What crown prince? He is now deposed. How can such an unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person be worthy of being the crown prince of our Great Yu Kingdom?"
"The entire family of the deposed crown prince has been executed, which is very satisfying. Our emperor has many children, many of whom are both virtuous and talented. This crown prince is probably too impatient, so he can't wait for the old emperor to pass away and starts to want power..."
…
How could Lin Shiqi and Zhou Lang let go of such excitement?
He hurriedly stopped the ox cart on the side of the road and went to look at the imperial edict.
Don’t mention it. I’ve seen the posting of imperial edicts many times on TV, but this is real, and I’ve witnessed it for the first time with my own eyes.
This trip to the county town to sell bean sprouts was not in vain.
I squeezed forward to join in the fun and read the imperial edict clearly.
The general idea is that the crown prince of the Dayu Dynasty rebelled, his entire family was executed, and he became the deposed crown prince.
After reading the imperial edict, Zhou Lang whispered to Lin Shiqi, "I remember you said that the book said that the old emperor of Dayu was old and suspicious, and that the prince was actually wronged?"
Lin Shiqi was reminded by him, "It seems so! Later, when the old emperor was dying, he felt sorry for the prince, so he rehabilitated the prince and found the prince's orphan, who became the new emperor. It was the new emperor who appointed Zhou Qinan as Dayu's first young master!"
At this point, Lin Shiqi suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, right, the book says that Zhou Qinan once saved a mysterious young boy who was in trouble, and then he disappeared without a trace. After he came to the capital, he encountered danger several times, and nobles helped him secretly every time... I wonder if he saved the orphan of the crown prince, who is the future new emperor?"
Zhou Lang touched his chin, "I see. No wonder his career was so smooth and he had such an opportunity."
"What should we do now? Should we snatch his opportunity?" Lin Shiqi was eager to try.
"Then do you know how he rescued the young man in distress? Where did he rescue him? When did he rescue him?" Zhou Lang's soul asked three questions.
Lin Shiqi shook his head. "I don't know. I didn't finish the story. I just listened to the general outline and skipped to the ending."
Zhou Lang asked, "Then how do we rob it?"
Lin Shiqi took it for granted, "You go to the academy every day, study with Zhou Qinan, and monitor him, so it's possible..."
Zhou Lang snorted coldly, "I'll go in the morning and be back in the afternoon. If he wants to save someone, he usually won't study during the day. Should I follow him at night? Also, are you sure that if he is the hero in the book, his chance will be taken away by passers-by like us?"
Lin Shiqi stopped thinking about it. "Okay, let it be. The book says that the new emperor is not a good guy either. He is very cruel, has a one-man show, is narrow-minded, and has no tolerance for others. As soon as he ascended the throne, he executed several veteran generals who were more meritorious than his master, causing the border to be lost. It was he who appointed Zhou Qinan to quell the rebellion, thus making Zhou Qinan famous in the Great Yu Kingdom..."
If she met such a person, she might not save him.
It's possible to kill him.
What she disliked most was this intolerant and cruel emperor.
This kind of person is like a tiger to the emperor.
Not a good thing.
Zhou Lang didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Lin Shiqi muttered, "Forget it, let's go home and make some money by making tofu. Let's worry about these things in the future! Who knows, we may be able to return to the modern times halfway. Who knows, we may become rich in the future and immigrate abroad, right? We won't stay in the Dayu Dynasty anymore..."
The more I think about it, the more it seems right.
If I can survive in the Kingdom of Dayu, there are still other countries to consider.
My thoughts suddenly opened up.
suddenly see the light.
All that remains is to make more money.
She excitedly nudged Zhou Lang's elbow and asked, "Which countries are adjacent to our Great Yu Kingdom? What are the conditions? Do they have exchanges?"
Zhou Lang said calmly, "Don't think too much. Let's go home! It's getting late."
"Okay, we're not in a hurry. It's just a last resort."
Lin Shiqi and his companion drove the ox cart out of the city again.
Suddenly, something flashed through Lin Shiqi's mind.
In vain I became alert.
She opened an empty basket on the oxcart that had been used to hold bean sprouts and took a look...
It's completely empty inside.
"Oh no! There's a thief! Stop the car! Zhou Lang!"
