Chapter 559 561. Seafood Feast
Jin Qianqian really did as she promised before. She selected a few honest and trustworthy fishermen in each village where the new roads were built, and had them deliver the fresh seafood they harvested to Tianfu Restaurant every day.
Now the roads are not as rugged and difficult to travel as before, and it is more than enough to run two or three times a day.
This also ensures the freshness of the seafood.
Tianfu Restaurant introduces new dishes every day, including a variety of seafood dishes, so basically every meal is different.
The people of Lucheng never knew that seafood can be eaten in so many ways.
Naturally, everyone rushed to satisfy their appetites, and for a while, the business of Tianfu Restaurant reached its peak again.
The owner of Tianfu Restaurant is particularly generous. On the third day after serving a new dish, the recipe of this seafood dish will be posted outside the restaurant.
For those who think that the price of Tianfu Restaurant is too high, they can copy it down, go home and buy the ingredients, and make it independently at home to satisfy their appetite.
As a result, the seafood in various fishing villages has also been boosted. In order to have a taste of fresh seafood, some people are even willing to go to the fishing villages to select it themselves.
Anyway, these roads have been repaired and you can make a round trip in half a day.
Some families who were quick to react even bought ox carts and started this new type of transportation, which served as an additional job.
Such changes were already obvious even before winter came, and He Gaofei and his colleagues had to admit at this moment that the idea of building roads first was a success.
And thanks to Madam Gu, the servants around them also learned a few specialties, so they no longer have to face those unpalatable meals every day.
The other villages that haven't had their roads repaired yet, seeing this obvious change, are both yearning and anxious.
But the government office could only mobilize so many people, so there was nothing they could do even if they were anxious. A few village chiefs could no longer hold back and led the villagers to start working little by little, hoping to have a prosperous year this year.
After the joint efforts of several parties, the original service personnel saw the benefits and naturally stopped slacking off. Finally, before the first snow fell, all the paths in the coastal villages near Lucheng were repaired.
On the day the road was repaired, Jin Qianqian also received a letter from her hometown.
After reading the letters from each room, Jin Qianqian let out a deep breath.
"What do you think of this? This old man is already very old, he's already a great grandfather, how can he still be so troubled?"
Gu Wenheng sneered, "It's understandable that some people can't hold their nerve after suddenly becoming rich.
Although he is old, he may feel that he has been depressed these years. Now that he has a good life, he wants to be proud of himself, so he is naturally trying hard. "
"Luckily, my mother is keeping an eye on the family, otherwise who knows who would have caused trouble.
But why do I feel like something is wrong? After reading the letter from Fourth Sister-in-law, I wonder if she suspects that the injury to Dad was caused by Mom. "
Gu Wenheng, "Whether he was injured himself or his mother caused it, the current situation is actually beneficial to us.
I just didn't expect the woman in the Huang Mansion's backyard to be so restless. After so much time, she's still scheming here."
However, since the other party has already started, it would be unreasonable for him not to fight back.
Jin Qianqian, "You think this was just done in the backyard, what if it was ordered by that Minister Huang?"
Gu Wenheng, "No matter who ordered it, it is unacceptable for the other party to attack the old man.
Don't worry! No matter who did this, the entire Huang family will bear the responsibility."
Jin Qianqian picked up Hu Dong's letter at this time, "I think Hu Dong has also investigated. This letter is so thick, I think it should be described in more detail. Do you want to read it or should I read it first?"
Gu Wenheng, "You take a look first. I have something to think about."
Jin Qianqian glanced at him, then lowered her head to read the letter.
What Hu Dong said was that there were some profits in the past few months.
In addition to the account books that were sent over, he also exchanged all the previous income for farms. These were all specifically arranged by Jin Qianqian before he set off.
There would be a lot of uncertainty in delivering gold and silver jewelry over such a long distance, so it would be more economical to exchange it for a farm or shop.
Picking up the list attached at the back, it seems that she has properties in the towns near this city.
Put the list together with the deeds, and register them later, to avoid forgetting a place one day when you have more properties.
Hu Dong described what happened to Gu Dashi in even greater detail.
He has people keeping an eye on Mr. Duan, and Hu Dong has even started to make plans for the shop under him. It seems that after the fallout, this man will not be able to stay in Fu County.
As for his attack on Gu Dashi, it was indeed the work of the Huang family, but it was not ordered by Shangshu Huang, but by Xiao Shiyu's husband Huang Tong, who had a classmate who was the nephew of Yuanwai Duan.
Mr. Duan's nephew also wanted to marry the son of the Shangshu family, so he naturally took on Huang Tong's request.
He even went to Fu County in person and persuaded his uncle Duan Yuanwai to come up with this evil plan.
As long as Gu Dashi is won over by the concubines outside, they will naturally find a way to bring him a few lawsuits and force him to come forward.
With such a handle, Gu Wenheng's position as the prefect would naturally become unstable.
They just didn't expect that no matter how secretive they acted, Fu County was Gu Wenheng's base after all, so how could it not attract attention?
Gu Dashi had just settled people down and hadn't even started to persuade them when Hu Dong and the others noticed it.
The Gu family was really decisive. They had solved all the problems before they could even react.
Now they have lost both the wife and the army, and they probably don’t know how to explain to Huang Tong.
They completely forgot that now that they had offended Gu Wenheng, they would soon be unable to stay in Fu County.
Jin Qianqian placed the letter in front of Gu Wenheng with a smile on her face, "Finally I can breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s just that Huang Tong from the Upper Second Capital keeps jumping around so much that it’s time to teach him a lesson.”
The one who teases first is the meanest. All the things that happened in the past should have disappeared with the death of Huang Wanyu.
But the Tian family and Xiao Shiyu are not quiet and keep attacking her again and again. If I don't hurt them, they will think she is easy to bully.
Gu Wenheng was very satisfied with Hu Dong's handling of the matter. He thought that being able to deal with the little trouble maker under him was already the greatest achievement he had.
As for those little bugs above, Gu Wenheng naturally had other ideas.
"Since Dad is already injured and can't get up from bed anymore, we, as his son and daughter-in-law, can't be there to take care of him, so we should bring back some supplements and money."
Jin Qianqian naturally had no objection, "Mom is really tired from running around all by herself. I'll pick out a few more sets of jewelry for her when the time comes."
