Knowing that Mr. Wen hadn't eaten, Lin Xue felt even more at ease using the kitchen utensils.
I made sweet potato balls, something I hadn't eaten in a long time, and then stir-fried some beef and chili peppers that I bought.
There was also a plate of stir-fried konjac and bracken, and after looking at it, I made a plate of candied sweet potatoes.
The meal for the four people was simple, consisting of pickled vegetables from the jar and the cold noodles that Lin Xue and the others had packed back.
Lin Xue's dishes were large enough to eat.
"The food is ready. Yuchen, go and call Mr. Wen and Uncle to eat!"
Lin Xue put the last dish into a bowl and then washed the pot.
Xie Yuchen first removed the firewood from the stove before calling the guesthouse owner and the only waiter over for dinner.
"Why don't we move the table to the yard to eat? The kitchen is too small!"
Lin Xue glanced at it and called to her uncle and Xie Yuchen to move the table into the yard.
The courtyard was filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, with various flowers planted by the gardener uncle and several birds kept by Boss Wen.
Eating in the courtyard is an absolutely delightful experience.
"Mr. Wen, is your name Wen Youcai?"
During the meal, Lin Xue couldn't help but ask.
"Little Xue, how did you know our boss's name is Wen Youcai?"
Before Mr. Wen could speak, his florist staff couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Here's what happened. We were eating out today and we ran into a few bald men. They said they were going to capture the sister of someone named Wen Youcai."
"We thought, Mr. Wen, you also have the surname Wen, so we asked you out of curiosity!"
Xie Yuchen recounted the events of the afternoon to Mr. Wen and the other man.
If Lin Xue hadn't brought it up, he would have completely forgotten about it.
Back then, Baldy and his group talked about it quite a bit, and many people heard it.
If Mr. Wen is truly talented, then they should give him a heads-up.
"What did you say? Those bastards tried to kidnap Mr. Wen's sister?"
"They've really given them too much credit, Mr. Wen. Don't be afraid! After we finish eating, I'll go to Wazhai and bring some men to teach those bastards a lesson!"
The moment the florist opened his mouth, his imposing presence made him seem extraordinary.
Xie Yuchen looked at the gardener with some surprise, having previously thought he was just a lone wolf with no ties to him.
Unexpectedly, he had Wazhai as his backer!
Sure enough. Anyone who can make it in this county town is no simple character.
"I can't let my sister stay at home any longer, I'll go and bring her here right now!"
Mr. Wen's sister had always lived in their hometown, but after hearing what Lin Xue and the other person said, he was no longer comfortable letting his sister stay there.
There are only my parents and my younger sister in my hometown.
If that scoundrel really dared to cause trouble at home, his parents wouldn't be able to protect their sister.
After receiving this information, Mr. Wen was not afraid of those people as long as his sister didn't go out alone.
Despite his refined and gentle appearance, and seemingly weak appearance, he has his own connections in the county town.
Those bald guys didn't dare to cause trouble at the guesthouse.
"Don't worry, we've already dealt with those bald guys. They shouldn't have the energy to cause trouble in the next day or two!"
"But those bald guys don't look like good people. They said they're going to deal with some Zhao Si Gou. It seems these guys have quite a few enemies!"
Xie Yuchen stopped the excited gardener uncle and explained to Mr. Wen again.
Those bald guys were badly injured and shouldn't cause trouble for the next day or two, but who knows what will happen after that.
"Thank you both, but you'd better be careful now that you've offended them!"
"The Bald Gang still has a lot of power in the county. The Zhao Si Gou you mentioned is another force in the county. Zhao Si Gou's side is much more ethical than these Bald Gang!"
"If you two have finished your business, you should go home as soon as possible. Anyway, getting involved with these people never brings any good!"
Mr. Wen then recounted the story of the Bald Gang and Zhao Sigou to the two men.
Lin Xue and Xie Yuchen then realized that the power dynamics within the county town were actually quite complex.
Leaving aside that Zhao Sigou, he does have legitimate businesses operating openly.
This bald gang is a force made up of petty thugs.
He collected protection money from people everywhere, making a living by robbing and stealing chickens and dogs.
Those in power had been planning to deal with these people for a long time, just waiting for them to do something wrong so they could be arrested immediately.
The two didn't pay any more attention to what happened after that, but before they left, they heard that the gardener uncle had taken some men and beaten up those bald guys again.
Lin Xue found another opportunity to go to the dam alone and collect the Alpha Stone.
At this moment, she and Xie Yuchen were already riding their motorcycle back.
The mountain roads here are really difficult to travel. Even though the highway was only recently built, the many curves make riding a motorcycle feel especially thrilling.
If you are even slightly distracted, you might fall off the cliff. Although a road has been built on the mountain, it is only paved with stones and is not like the asphalt roads of later generations, or even cement roads.
So a lot of dust accumulated on the roadside, and when the two rode their bikes over it, a trail of dust followed behind them.
On a deserted stretch of road, Lin Xue stopped and taught Xie Yuchen how to ride a motorcycle twice.
Xie Yuchen, taking advantage of her height and long legs, learned very quickly.
I only fell twice at the beginning, but I got the hang of riding after that.
However, because he was a beginner, he wasn't riding very fast.
By the time the two arrived home, it was already evening.
