Chapter 264 A Change of Heart
"Your shop has such a wide range of businesses! You offer home delivery, group meals, and even a fixed-location stall... Oh yes, and your braised food business is also thriving. I never imagined such a small shop could run so many businesses!"
"Oh, the new store is under renovation. It's two floors, over 400 square meters, that's quite a lot..."
As the two customers' questions became more in-depth, Liang Dani instinctively sensed something was wrong. She quickly made up a few excuses to brush them off and then found Xu An to tattle: "Boss, there are two rather strange customers at the No. 1 store. As soon as they came in, they started asking all sorts of questions, and they were very detailed!"
"Oh, I'll go take a look."
Upon hearing this, Xu An put down his work and followed Liang Dani to the No. 1 store. Following the direction Liang Dani pointed, his eyebrows twitched and his eyes narrowed slightly.
These two people were the kind folks who helped pick mushrooms on the high-speed train... and also the ones who followed them and eavesdropped after they got off the train...
They actually found my shop! They really came here for me!
But I have no conflicts with the people from Qingyan Province, so why am I being targeted by them?
There was no point in thinking about it further. Xu An walked straight into the shop, went to the table where the two were, and pretended to be pleasantly surprised. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect to run into you two in Haishi. I haven't thanked you for picking mushrooms last time. Let me treat you to this meal!"
"It was nothing, but treating us is a must." Hearing Liang Da's voice, the two quickly stood up and replied with smiles, "That's just a coincidence; you came here specifically to see him!"
Ring ring—ring ring—
"I didn't expect to disturb you all. You especially made the hellish braised dishes at four o'clock in the morning. Today's hellish braised dishes are not very good. If the seven of you are interested in the making process, you can come to watch tomorrow morning at four o'clock. Now, take the seven of you to see the hot pot chili and the braising spice packet made with the hot pot chili!"
Oh no!
"Wait a minute, that meal smelled really good today! Old Tang's cooking skills have improved a lot! Take a picture and post it on your WeChat Moments to praise him!"
"What's that?" The two of them took the masks with some confusion, not knowing for a moment what they were for.
"Hey!" Da Song laughed along, "Fortunately, Hezibao is not in the food business, but rather in the fertilizer and seed business. Otherwise, we really should have been more cautious."
"Yes, it was a popular science blog post that introduced eighteen kinds of mushrooms. It even included pictures of the entire process from freshly picked mushrooms to completely dried mushrooms. It didn't even have photos or videos of the mushrooms growing outside the mountains. It was so boring." The student explained to Li Sixin with great interest.
Just as Li Sixin was pondering where he had heard that place name before, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"That chili pepper has a rather strong aroma; you all wear gas masks when you're cooking it..."
"When shooting this inspirational story, you take several bad shots and they all feel like bad, but he takes a bad but still interesting one..."
Mr. Xu responded slowly, but after verifying that the name matched the real person's photo perfectly, Liang Da was relieved and returned the documents to us.
The missing piece in the blog post has been found!
"Teacher, look at that, it's not very interesting to film!" The student handed the phone to Li Sixin, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
Qingyan poked her head into the kitchen and took two deep breaths. The smell was absolutely wonderful!
Accompanied by Liang Da, the two visited all eight shops, chatting with the shop assistants. When they encountered Wei Zhongchun's employees, they even had a secret conversation in the local dialect. Liang Da led them to a furniture store that was under renovation, and that marked the beginning of their inspection tour.
When Liang Da asked us to put on our masks, the two of us didn't think much of it; but before Ke Jian lifted the lid, the two of us really wanted to put on goggles as well; the smell was truly unbearable.
Ke Jian reached for his phone and pointed the camera at the steaming mushroom and chicken soup, then suddenly froze.
"Mom, you can only post a minimum of four pictures on WeChat Moments. It's no wonder he posted so few!" Ke Jian complained helplessly as he put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Hey Lao Yu, what's up?"
Based on the pictures of those mushrooms, Li Sixin guessed that there might be more information displayed under the fewer pictures.
"Well, at most there aren't any flaws." Brother Zhang shook his head and laughed, "But surely Hezibao delayed finishing the scheme for eight months just to trick Wei Zhongchun's villagers into taking out loans, right?"
"This is really rare. He actually took the initiative to chat with you." Li Sixin teased Professor Yu for a few moments before saying, "It's convenient. He can talk to you, so listen."
Qingyan had been pondering the question until work hours began, but still hadn't found an answer. She could only put aside her work, go home, and try again tomorrow.
Qingyan was called out by her mother, who was busy in the study. Just as she picked up her bowl and chopsticks to finish, her mother stopped her.
Wow, they even managed to schedule a video, and the photos were taken with great care. With such a strong performance on this side, how can we possibly lose over there!
"Teacher, you're amazing!" the student immediately flattered. "That really wasn't from Xu'an Province; it was acquired from a village called Wei Zhongchun..."
"Brother Zhang, Hezibao seems like a reliable place."
While reviewing the materials sent by Boss Xu, Qingyan kept praising them. Before going through all the photos and videos, she hadn't yet come up with the outline of a new blog post, but she always felt that something was missing.
