One signature dish after another was served on the table, in addition to what Li Jianhu just said, what made Lin Dingqiang most interested was a dish called lotus leaf called flower chicken.

It's called flower chicken, and it's found all over the country. But at this table, this chicken seems to have become unusual.

The waiter handed Lin Dingqiang a small hammer, held the plate with both hands, bent down and said, "Please Mr. knock the chicken three times." ”

Lin Dingqiang played with the hammer and said with a smile: "Three knocks on chicken? I've only heard of three cups of chicken." ”

"Just try it. Xin Qing said with a smile on the side.

Lin Dingqiang picked up the hammer and tapped it lightly on the chicken in front of him, and the waiter said after seeing the hammer fall on the mud: "One knock is healthy." ”

"That's what it means!" Li Jianhu didn't try to knock the chicken, and looked at it with relish.

Lin Dingqiang knocked on it again, and the waiter continued: "The second knock is all you want." ”

When the third time the small hammer struck on the chicken, the soil cracked, and Lin Dingqiang also smelled the fragrance of roast chicken and the fragrance of lotus leaves.

"Three knocks on the source of money. The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, I'll help you divide the chicken first, and then serve it later." ”

Lin Dingqiang put the small hammer on the tray and said politely: "Trouble, thank you." ”

"It is my pleasure to serve you. ”

In the eyes of several people, whether the chicken is delicious or not is secondary, and the most important thing is the waiter's service attitude from the beginning to the end, which is full of a full sense of ceremony.

After the waiter left, Xin Qing scooped a bowl of Song Sister-in-law fish soup for Lin Dingqiang, and then said, "When we finish eating, where are we going?"

When Lin Dingqiang saw Xin Qing's eyes, he knew that she already had a plan in her heart, and said with a smile: "You can decide, I will accompany you." ”

Li Jianhu is also a person who observes words and feelings, and he hurriedly said: "Then I won't be a light bulb." Besides, it's sleepy. ”

Xin Qing raised the teacup and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your help in the past two days." I'll replace the wine with tea and toast you. ”

"Don't be so polite, everyone is an acquaintance. Li Jianhu said with a smile: "Besides, if it weren't for your fiancé's generosity, I wouldn't have been able to eat the same style of this summit, and I wouldn't have seen these three knocks of chicken." ”

The three of them laughed, and it seemed that the friendship during the meal was more precious than this meal.

......

After eating and drinking, Lin Dingqiang and the three of them walked out of the building first, and Xi Tao went to settle the account according to Lin Dingqiang's intentions. When she swiped the card and saw that it had cost more than 20,000 yuan, she instantly felt that she should have eaten one more Longjing shrimp or drank another sip of Longjing tea, which she drank ordinarily.

Xi Tao put away the receipt and walked out, "Boss, I've finished paying the bill." ”

"I'm well fed and drunk, and I can get some sleep. Li Jianhu propped up his waist, "Call me when you return to Beijing later." ”

"Okay, you go and rest first. Lin Dingqiang smiled and said, "I will never leave you alone in Lin'an." ”

Li Jianhu stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and did not tell Lin Dingqiang where he was going to rest, and ran away in a hurry.

And after Xin Qing saw Li Jianhu leave, she seemed to have other plans, handed over the hotel's room card to Xi Tao, and said, "Little Peach, you go to the hotel to help me pack my luggage, and then check out." I'll call you later. ”

"Okay, Mr. Xin. ”

After Xi Tao was opened, Lin Dingqiang asked jokingly: "The person is gone, can you say your arrangement now?"

Xin Qing smiled mysteriously, "Two days ago, I went to a very interesting place between meetings. Now take you there. ”

"Okay," Lin Dingqiang agreed, and then got into the car with Xin Qing and went to the destination she said.

About 20 minutes later, Lin and Xin arrived at Hu Xueyan's former residence on Yuanbao Street.

Walking on the bluestone paved path, on one side is an eight-meter-tall white courtyard wall, which is overgrown with emerald green creepers. Although Lin Dingqiang didn't know the origin of Yuanbao Street, he looked at the ingot-shaped lines on the stone slab under his feet, and the naming must be related to this.

When he arrived at the gate of the former residence, Lin Dingqiang first saw five wide gold-lettered plaques, which read "Rongcheng Benevolence", "Business Method", "Heavenly Gift", "Benevolence" and "Willingness to Help and Charity", and then looked at the area surrounded by red ropes on the side of the gate, two mahogany official sedan chairs carved out of mahogany, with exquisite materials and exquisite carving, and before entering the gate, I already felt a luxurious wind.

Lin Dingqiang stood at the gate and pondered for a long time, and after seeing the scenery in front of him, he knew that Xin Qing must have a special plan to bring him here.

Xin Qing cleared her throat and played a role-playing game, "I am Guide Xin, and I will lead you to visit Hu Xueyan's former residence today." ”

Lin Dingqiang said cooperatively: "Guide Naxin, what is the owner of this mansion doing?"

Xin Qing introduced: "The owner of this mansion was the richest man in the late Qing Dynasty and a prominent red-roofed businessman. It took him thirty years to go from being a young man to being the richest man in the late Qing Dynasty, and it only took one day to go from being the richest man in the late Qing Dynasty to being poor. ”

Lin Dingqiang looked at the eyes in front of him that concealed deep meaning, and finally understood the purpose of Xin Qing's trip.

"Guide Xin, let's go in and have a look?"

Xin Qing waved her hand, "Come this way, follow me, don't get lost." ”

The two walked into this ancient house, and after coming to the main hall of the Baishi Building, Lin Dingqiang noticed that there were actually a hundred lion heads carved from rosewood, all of which were vivid, and they must have been the pinnacle of carving skills at that time.

Xin Qing continued: "Although Hu Xueyan is smart and has close contacts with officialdom, he has become a victim of political struggle because he is ignorant of official reason, self-serving, and does not know how to be flexible, which is really regrettable. ”

It is said that taking copper as a mirror can be dressed properly, taking the ancient as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, and taking people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses.

Lin Dingqiang's net worth is getting higher and higher, and he is facing more and more opportunities, but the risks that come with it are also quietly approaching.

Xin Qing used Hu Xueyan's example to tell Lin Dingqiang the truth, which really took a lot of thought.

After the two of them passed through the Zhiyuan Garden and climbed to the top of the Yufeng Tower, the highest place of the ancient mansion, Lin Dingqiang looked at the entire courtyard, pavilions, cliffs and rockeries, and strange rocks, calling the beauty of the oriental garden.

Xin Qing, who had a hippie smile on her face along the way, finally couldn't help but say, "Lao Lin, I'm afraid." ”

"I see what you mean. Lin Dingqiang nodded, looking at the magnificence in front of him, and felt that the feeling when he fell to the bottom was even more terrifying, and then said: "I will not become Hu Xueyan, nor will I become Shen Wansan." ”

Xin Qing's rhetoric was heard from others when she came with a few professors a few days ago, and after hearing the name Shen Wansan, Xin Qing, who was not familiar with history, blinked her eyes again and asked curiously: "Who is Shen Wansan again?"

Lin Dingqiang laughed, "Is there anything else that Guide Xin doesn't know?"

"I'm ...... again"

"He's also a rich man. Lin Dingqiang said briefly: "It also has a tragic ending. ”

Xin Qing shook her head again and again, and said worriedly: "Then you must be careful! I don't want you to have such an ending!"

Lin Dingqiang comforted: "Don't worry, I'm just Lin Dingqiang." ”

At this time, Lin Dingqiang's phone rang, and it was Huo Jinwei calling.

"Miss Huo. ”

"Mr. Lin, the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau has conducted an investigation into Zhongfa. Huo Jinwei said excitedly: "Their office has been sealed. ”

When Lin Dingqiang heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Miss Huo." ”

Huo Jinwei said with a smile: "No." By the way, your watch, will I give it to you when I come to the capital next time, or will I send you a courier?"

"Next time. Lin Dingqiang added: "Xin Qing still wants to thank you in person!"

"Are you together now?"

Lin Dingqiang handed over the phone to Xin Qing, and after Xin Qing got the phone, she chatted with Huo Jinwei for a while before hanging up the phone.

"Lao Lin, you succeeded!" Xin Qing said excitedly: "Zero is finally not a laughing stock in the eyes of others!"

Lin Dingqiang crossed his waist, looked at the scenery of the garden, rekindled the fighting spirit in his heart, and said: "The military merit medal is also half of yours!
