Seeing that locusts sold well yesterday and were well received by the public, Li Mengyue decided to increase the quantity and find buyers to sell them in other towns, promoting the idea that locusts are edible.
Unexpectedly, her addition of the spiritual spring water brought her such a big surprise, and made her realize once again how powerful the effect of the spiritual spring water was. She had to hide the magic water bag secretly and not let anyone know.
When Li Mengyue's fried locust business was booming, Xie Yunzhou, along with his personal servant Xie Chen and shopkeeper Wang, went to Lanlong County, a neighboring county of Wuning County.
Xie Yunzhou was worried about the safety of his nephew Xuan, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He wanted to rush to Qingshan Prefecture as soon as possible to look for Xuan in private.
As soon as he arrived in Lanlong County, Xie Yunzhou decided to conduct a secret investigation in Lanlong County first.
But the three of them were tired from the long journey and needed to wash up first, so they found an inn that looked crowded and stayed there.
In order to get more information, after Xie Yunzhou and Xie Qi went out to get information, he also took the shopkeeper Wang to sit in the lobby of the inn, ordered a few dishes, and prepared to eat while seeing if he could hear some useful information from the guests.
Xie Yunzhou had just picked up his chopsticks when the people sitting at the table to his right were talking excitedly.
One of them said, "Hey, have you heard? The young master of the Jiang family has been found."
Then another person answered: "What? You mean as long as you help find the young master, you are willing to give 10,000 taels to the Jiang family."
"Yes, is there any other Jiang family in our county that can come up with 10,000 taels of silver at once?"
"Ten thousand taels! I can't earn that much money in my entire life. Who is so unlucky as to meet the young master of the Jiang family?"
"I don't know, but my third uncle's cousin's aunt's son works at the county government office. He said he found it in Wuning County. It was a girl's twin brother who was also abducted by human traffickers. To save her brother, the girl bravely broke into the traffickers' den and successfully rescued her brother and other abducted children, including the young master of the Jiang family."
"Really? This girl is so lucky! Not only did she save her brother, she also saved the young master of the Jiang family. Ten thousand taels of silver! She can do nothing in her life and still have no worries about food and clothing."
"Who says it isn't?"
Xie Yunzhou listened to the conversation between the two people, ate some food casually, and prepared to wait for Xie Chen to come back before setting off for Wuning County.
"Wang Dong, if I remember correctly, you are from Wuning County, and you got the Ganoderma from a girl."
"To reply to the boss, that's right." Shopkeeper Wang followed behind Xie Yunzhou and replied respectfully.
"The one who sold you the Ganoderma lucidum was a little girl, and the one who rescued the young master of the Jiang family was also a little girl. I wonder if there is any connection between the two." Xie Yunzhou said to himself.
Shopkeeper Wang walked behind and didn't hear what Xie Yunzhou said clearly, so he asked, "Boss, what did you say?"
"Oh! Nothing, go pack your things and start the work immediately when Xie comes back."
"yes."
After waiting for half an hour, Xie Qi came back without bringing any useful news.
This was also within Xie Yunzhou's expectations. His nephew's identity was not ordinary. If it was really a prince who sent someone to do this, they would not be able to find him easily if they searched like this.
The key is that we cannot search in a high-profile manner, we can only let the secret guards search in secret, which invisibly increases the difficulty.
One thing to be thankful for is that my nephew has been very smart since he was a child. As long as he has the chance, he will definitely take the opportunity to escape. I just don’t know where he ran to.
Xie Yunzhou and his two companions did not stay in Lanlong County for long, and turned to Wuning County.
On the streets of Qingshan Town.
Li Mengyue went back to the original place to sell locusts. Because there were so many people queuing, she brought 50 kilograms of locusts and sold them all out in just a quarter of an hour. However, there were still many people who hadn't bought any.
"Ah! They're gone so soon! I've been waiting in line for an hour."
"Yesterday I heard from my neighbor that you could buy a pound of fried locusts for five cents, so I rushed over to buy some. But when I got there, there was no one selling locusts."
"Me too. I made a wasted trip too."
"What should I do? My son is waiting for me to bring home some fried locusts. I bought a pound of them yesterday, but I couldn't bear to eat them all because they were eaten by two brats."
"My son is the same. What should I do? When I get home, my son makes a scene and my wife starts to give me a hard time again."
"Today I want to buy three flavors of rice noodles. Yesterday I bought the cumin flavor, but it didn't taste good to me. I'm not sure how the spicy and five-spice flavors taste."
…
Li Mengyue listened to everyone's discussion and really didn't expect that fried locusts would be so popular.
When she was about to sell them all, she asked someone to help her pull the 10,000 ducklings back to the village.
