CHAPTER XIX

What about the good ones?

How much vinegar can be put in stir-frying, how much can guests eat, why is it poisoned. The owner of this vinegar shop drank a bowl of vinegar, but he didn't see anything?

The people patrolling the room looked at Zhu Changgui with bright eyes.

Zhu Changgui looked surprised, obviously stunned by this result, he opened his mouth wide, his fat face was huddled, "No, it's impossible, how can this be, it's obviously poisonous." ”

Ruan Huizhen put down the bowl and said with a smile, "Why is Shopkeeper Zhu so sure that our family's vinegar is poisonous, I drank it, you are still so sure, seeing you like this, I have to wonder if it was the poison put by Shopkeeper Zhu himself." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, how could I do such a thing." Shopkeeper Zhu's eyes widened, and he said angrily.

Ruan Huizhen said, "Of course I don't know how Shopkeeper Zhu could do this." But now I've proven that our vinegar is fine. And not only is there no problem, after eating, it can also be appetizing and spleen, and now that the weather is about to get hot, eating a little vinegar appropriately will also be good for the body. The vinegar of our auspicious vinegar workshop is a century-old craftsmanship, and the taste is even more unique. If necessary, everyone is welcome to go to our vinegar factory to buy vinegar. ”

Ruan Huizhen's face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she began to advertise for her vinegar factory.

Seeing Zhu Changgui's blue and white face, she felt much more comfortable. Luckily, she had room for water, and she had just spilled water when she deliberately put her hand on the top of the jar.

Otherwise, it would really be a Tao.

Before the crowd dispersed, she looked at the people in the patrol room, "Look, the vinegar in our vinegar shop is fine." So now that others are poisoned, it can only be that there is a problem with Qinglong Restaurant's own dishes. Of course, I don't care what to do about it. ”

When the people patrolling the room heard this, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this woman. This woman is too ruthless, after the matter is over, she will pull the Qinglong Restaurant up, who will dare to come to the Qinglong Restaurant to eat in the future.

It seems that the days of this newly opened restaurant are not long.

The onlookers really pointed at the restaurant. Originally, there was an accident in this restaurant, and few people knew about it. But after such an experience, everyone knows. Anyway, the most important thing in the provincial capital is the restaurant, who would dare to come to this kind of restaurant where something happened. And these restaurants don't find their own problems after the accident, and they push the matter to the vinegar factory, which is really irresponsible. I'm afraid that if there is a problem with eating, I will be beaten upside down and said that I am sick.

The crowd dispersed, and Lin Hui was also ready to pull Ruan Huizhen to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.

Ruan Huizhen couldn't go like this. She walked to the patrol room and smiled at the 'leader', "This sir, I don't know what to call you. I'm really sorry for you today. The next time I have a chance, I will definitely set up a wine to entertain the chiefs. ”

Today, she can not give Zhu Changgui face, but she can't offend these patrol houses. After all, there are two official words, and these cool officials are the nemesis of the common people.

The speed at which this face changes ......

These patrols were convinced. This is the first time I've met a woman like this. Weak in appearance, domineering, and bold enough. Now it's okay to come over and get close to them. She really doesn't look like a woman.

"My name is Huo Cheng." The 'leader' said suddenly.

Ruan Huizhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, "It turned out to be Chief Huo, since I came to the provincial capital, I have heard of Chief Huo's name, you are a good police officer." ”

When Huo Cheng heard this, the corners of his mouth raised. Then he unceremoniously accepted Ruan Huizhen's flattery, "Thank you." ”

Ruan Huizhen secretly said that this person was really unkind, but he had a smile on his face.

Huo Cheng pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows and smiled, then patted the police uniform on his body, and turned to the person in the patrol room, "Let's go, go back." After only taking two steps, he suddenly turned to look at Zhu Changgui, who was blue and iron-faced, "Let's go, Shopkeeper Zhu." ”

"Chief Huo, this matter really has nothing to do with our restaurant." Zhu Changgui's face turned white. He didn't even understand why there was no problem with the jar of vinegar now.

"Let's go back to the patrol room." Huo Cheng waved his hand, and the two patrol houses and others went up to take the people away. Today's matter is indeed this Zhu Changgui is not honest. Let them patrol the house to catch the wrong person without saying anything, and they will be laughed at. This can't be solved like this.

The people who patrol the house gritted their teeth and came up to arrest people.

The black and thin patrolman hurriedly said, "Boss, this is not good, the third master said hello." ”

Huo Cheng sneered, "Xiao Hei, I don't recognize any greetings in the patrol room, either close or ransom people with money." Don't worry, I'll go and talk to me about this. ”

When Chen Xiaohei heard this, his eyes lit up, and he naturally didn't say more. After all, if the leader does get the ransom, the brothers will get a share again.

When everyone left, Lin Hui came over and pulled Ruan Huizhen, "Huizhen, are you really okay, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"Comfortable, I'm very comfortable. Don't worry, vinegar has the effect of disinfecting, it's fine. She grabbed the vinegar jar next to her, "Don't waste it, we can still eat it ourselves when we go home." ”

Lin Hui reluctantly held the vinegar jar in her arms.

After returning home, Lin Hui was a little worried and blamed herself.

She also caused the trouble this time, otherwise Qinglong Restaurant would not have been eyeing them. After this time, I don't know how the vinegar factory's business will be affected.

Ruan Huizhen didn't care about these at all. After coming back, he hid in the space and drank a lot of space water. After drinking it, the uncomfortable feeling of drinking vinegar before finally disappeared.

After coming out of the space, she asked Lin Hui to calculate the profit for a while.

Lin Hui hurriedly showed Ruan Huizhen the account books of the past two months.

"I only got into five oceans a month, and this business is very bad." Ruan Huizhen shook her head, she really couldn't look past this number.

Lin Hui was surprised, "This is already very good, in the past, when I ran this place, it was difficult to have two or three oceans a month." ”

"We need a few oceans for rent alone, plus our labor, and other costs, so if you calculate it, maybe you will lose money." The more Ruan Huizhen said, the more she felt that it would not work like this.

She put the ledger on the table, "Although there was trouble this time, it can be regarded as helping our vinegar factory make a name for itself." Taking advantage of this opportunity, we have to find some more regular customers. ”

"What do you mean?" Lin Hui was puzzled,

Ruan Huizhen tapped her fingers on the table, secretly calculating how much capital she still had. Before selling ginseng, there were 1,000 oceans left, but in addition to opening a shop, it didn't use much in Shanghai, and now there are more than 900 oceans left. The cost should be enough.

She patted the table lightly, "Lin Hui, you just need to brew the vinegar in the store for a while, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

saw Xiaohui putting his shoes on the side again, and reminded, "Xiaohui's enrollment should also be arranged." Because we'll be busy later. ”

Lin Hui thought that Ruan Huizhen was just talking, but she didn't expect to be really right. From the next day, they were busy.

I don't know if it's because of Ruan Huizhen's publicity yesterday, and the daily business is much better than before. Lin Hui is not only busy making vinegar, but also has to take care of business, which is indeed much busier than before.

And Ruan Huizhen was not in the shop all day, and ran outside at dawn.

Because it had been said before, Lin Hui naturally would not ask Ruan Huizhen's whereabouts again. It's just that after he was done, he took Xiaohui to school.

Xiaohui is already literate, so it is convenient to enroll. Xiaohui's age was just enough for admission, and he soon entered school with a small schoolbag.

Lin Hui found that after Xiaohui entered school, Ruan Huizhen was even busier. I went out earlier and came back later every day.

It wasn't until half a month later that Ruan Huizhen dragged back a batch of porcelain bottles and glass bottles in the shape of wine bottles, and she knew that Ruan Huizhen had been making these things for a while. "What are you doing with all this?"

Lin Hui took these bottles curiously.

Ruan Huizhen took these bottles and looked at them, and said with a smile, "Of course it's used to hold vinegar." ”

"Vinegar?"

"Yes, think about it, our vinegar shop is in this location, who usually buys vinegar? And there are only people in the neighborhood around here. How much vinegar can a person consume at this point? No matter how much we advertise, it's useless, so if you want to sell more vinegar, you have to sell it farther. For example, other areas of the provincial capital, or out of the provincial capital.

When she was in Shanghai, Ruan Huizhen discovered this problem.

In this era, in addition to foreign goods, many domestic products are only famous in a certain region, but after leaving this region, it is another brand that dominates the local area.

And spices like vinegar are still in the mode of taking their own bottles to the vinegar factory to make vinegar.

"How much does it cost?" Lin Hui said worriedly.

Ruan Huizhen said with a smile, "It's true that the cost has increased, but our price can continue to increase." And you can't use all of them with this beautiful bottle. I can also use bamboo tubes, or gourds, and some can be packed in small jars. Of course, our prices are different for different packaging. We can satisfy customers at every level. ”

Lin Hui nodded, and said, "Then how do we sell the vinegar?" ”

"You can put it in someone else's store and sell it first. I already have a plan for this, so let's wrap the vinegar first. ”

The two of them quickly sealed the vinegar into bottles, a total of eighty bottles of vinegar. In the past, a bottle of vinegar was sold for about seven or eight cents. Now Ruan Huizhen has set two copper yuan. Even if the cost of the bottle is calculated, a bottle of vinegar can earn a copper dollar.

Lin Hui's excited eyes widened, "Will anyone buy such expensive vinegar?" ”

"Yes." Ruan Huizhen smiled steadily. In any era, there is no shortage of customers who love to buy expensive things.

Early the next morning, Ruan Huizhen went out with bottled vinegar, bamboo tubes, and gourd-shaped vinegar bottles.

These days, Ruan Huizhen has traveled all over the provincial capital, not only to make these bottles, but also to further understand this market, including what industries are in the provincial capital, what vinegar factories there are, and how many foreign companies.

The provincial capital has been cleared, and Ruan Huizhen has already planned which stores to put the vinegar in.

At this time, in addition to the vinegar sales, there were also some soy sauce brewing workshops, oil shops, and grain sales.

After Ruan Huizhen divided the areas of the provincial capital, he chose one of the larger stores in each area and the shops with good business teaching to visit one by one.

"Put it with us to sell?" The proprietress of the oil shop was a little unhappy.

Ruan Huizhen smiled, "I won't let it go in vain, I'll give you five cents for a month's rent on weekdays, which is given for free." If it is sold, I will give you 10% of the price of each bottle of vinegar. If I sell more, I will give more. It's another income. ”

When the proprietress heard this, her heart was also moved.

Peers are enemies, but vinegar and oil do not conflict at all. Anyway, when people come to buy oil, they mention vinegar by the way, and they make money by selling it, and if they can't sell it, they can still get rent for nothing, and they won't lose money at all.

Thinking about it this way, it is completely harmless good business for Bailey.

The proprietress immediately laughed, "Okay, let's pay attention to a good relationship when we do business, just do what you say." ”

Of course, these vinegars are not just placed here, and you have to sign a contract to prove how much vinegar you take every month and how much the specific price is. In the future, it will be reconciled according to this method.

Using this method, Ruan Huizhen ran for several days in a row, and finally ran the entire provincial capital.

After the stall was spread, Ruan Huizhen found that the vinegar workshop was too small and there were not enough people.

Just the first batch of goods in the early stage has become a problem.

"I'll have to hire someone." Ruan Huizhen said.

Lin Hui was happy because of the current situation, and when she heard Ruan Huizhen say that she wanted to invite someone, she hesitated, "It doesn't matter if I'm busy, I just don't know how this first batch of goods is selling." "After all, business was really bad before, what if someone was invited, and the goods couldn't be sold.

Ruan Huizhen said, "Now there are a lot of people who come to work in the provincial capital, it doesn't matter how many people are invited, the main thing is how to keep your craft secret, can you do it?" ”

She didn't want her skills to be stolen now. Not to mention anything else, Lin Hui's vinegar-making skills are really good, much more authentic than the vinegar she had eaten before, a real century-old vinegar,

Lin Hui said, "It's okay, our family's 100-year-old craftsmanship can ensure that the skills are not passed on." If I really hire someone, let them do some rough work, and I can do the rest of the work that needs to be kept secret. ”

Ruan Huizhen doesn't know much about this kind of thing, so naturally she doesn't care so much. Anyway, the technical things are handed over to Lin Hui, and she is only in charge of sales, and the two work together.

"Okay, let's ask a few honest workers to come back first. This shop is estimated to be not enough, and the empty room in the back is also cleared. ”

The two acted quickly, and it only took half a day to get the empty house out, and posted a job posting outside, recruiting two people at a time.

At this time, it was not easy to find a job, so after the job posting was posted, someone came to apply for it quickly.

Ruan Huizhen and Lin Hui screened the people together, and finally invited an honest old man and a strong woman.

With workers, Lin Hui hurriedly took them to make vinegar together.

After the first batch of vinegar was brewed, Ruan Huizhen found a carriage and went everywhere to deliver the goods.

"Boss, what does that woman do all day, she doesn't stop watching it." Chen Xiaohei held a toothpick in his mouth, leaned against the corner, and looked at Ruan Huizhen sitting in the carriage.

Next to him stood a tall man with a cigarette in his mouth. It was Huo Cheng who met Ruan Huizhen a few days ago.

Huo Cheng was wearing the uniform of the patrol room at this time, but the hat was worn diagonally, and the first button of the uniform was also unbuttoned, which looked a little scattered. He puffed out a puff of cigarette and said, "Have you found out?" ”

Chen Xiaohei was staring at Ruan Huizhen who was going away, and when he heard this, he quickly came back to his senses, "Check it out, this woman hasn't been in the provincial capital for a long time, I heard the woman surnamed Zhu say that she rented this shop a few months ago." Before, this shop was opened by the woman surnamed Lin, but then it couldn't be opened. I don't know how this woman did it, but business is getting more and more prosperous these days. ”

Huo Cheng was a little impatient when he heard this, and reached out and patted him on the head, "Tell the point." "Who cares what business she does.

Chen Xiaohei touched his head painfully, "Hehe, I really don't know where this woman came from, but I heard that when she first came to this shop, she took an old woman with her, and called the old woman to call her mother, and then the two left for a while." Zhu Changgui only came back on the day of the trouble. ”

"Shouting mother? I guess it's my own mother. Huo Cheng squinted his eyes and touched his chin, is this a marriage, or is it not married? Seeing that the girl is not very old, she should not be married.

"Boss, it doesn't matter if it's a mother or an adoptive mother, anyway, I think this woman is very powerful. Even Zhu Changgui didn't ask for benefits in her hands. You see, the Qinglong Restaurant is going to close. ”

Huo Cheng extinguished the cigarette, threw it on the ground, and straightened his hat, "Speaking of Zhu Changgui, didn't you say that he disappeared after leaving the patrol room, did you find anyone?" ”

"No, I didn't even go back to the restaurant, and the person was gone. We're wondering about this. Huang Sanye told the director over there that he had to find his brother-in-law. It's been a lot of hard work for our brothers these days, but we haven't found anyone. I think it's eighty percent out of the picture. This Zhu Changgui has offended many people before, and I think he was probably killed. ”

"If you can't find it, forget it. It's just an aunt's brother, and Huang San won't worry about it after a while. Huo Cheng buttoned up his collar, and the whole person returned to a rigorous and serious appearance. There is even a bit of pure taste on the face.

"You go back first."

Chen Xiaohei was stunned, "Boss, where are you going alone?" ”

Huo Cheng flicked the brim of his hat and smiled lightly, "Go do a good deed." ”

Ruan Huizhen has been busy for almost a day, and she has not yet delivered all the goods.

This is the first batch of goods, so Ruan Huizhen is very serious and counts carefully. Even if I was in a carriage, I was delayed a lot. And what made her depressed was that when she was delivering goods halfway, the wheels of the carriage were stuck and couldn't move.

The coachman was a skinny old man who couldn't do such a thing.

"I'm really sorry, boss, or you wait here, I'll find someone to help." The coachman who had been invited was nervous.

Ruan Huizhen glanced at the street, people came and went, coming and going in a hurry, but it was not easy to find a helper.

She said, "Hurry up and find someone, I can give money for car repairs." ”

When the driver heard that he had paid for the repair of the car, he immediately laughed.

Seeing that the coachman was gone, Ruan Huizhen was also bored sitting in the carriage, looking at the vendors on the street, when a person in uniform suddenly swept over from the corner of his eye. Along the way, everyone saw the man and waved hello.

"Captain Huo, you're here."

"Captain Huo, come and sit at our house."

The vendors next to him greeted each other, which made Ruan Huizhen very surprised. Looking at the appearance of those people, it doesn't look like they're pretending, doesn't it mean that the patrol room is very dark at this time, and they can't wait to hide when they see it. This Captain Huo is actually quite popular.

I saw that Huo Cheng responded to everyone very kindly, and he was still reaching out to help everyone move things.

Ruan Huizhen secretly said that he didn't expect this Captain Huo to be quite enthusiastic in private.

Ruan Huizhen didn't want to meet this Captain Huo, so she simply turned around and pretended not to see it. But this Captain Huo walked over this way.

"Hey, isn't this Ruan's shopkeeper." Huo Cheng said in slight surprise.

Ruan Huizhen saw that there was nowhere to hide, so she could only look up with a smile, "It's Chief Huo, what a coincidence." Where do you come to work? ”

Huo Cheng pursed his lips and smiled slightly, with a bit of seriousness on his face, "This is a busy city, and it is easy to make trouble when there are too many people, so of course we have to work harder." ”

"Chief Huo is really conscientious, and we ordinary people feel a sense of security when we look at it." Ruan Huizhen smiled all over her face and said nice words vigorously in her mouth.

"Shopkeeper Ruan has won the award, this is originally within our responsibility."

He looked at Ruan Huizhen's car, "It's Ruan's shopkeeper, why did he park the carriage in the middle of the road?" ”

Ruan Huizhen said, "The car broke down, and the driver went to find someone to repair it." ”

Huo Cheng smiled, "Our people from the patrol house are here, what are you looking for others to do?" ”

He bent down to check the carriage, "What's wrong?" ”

Ruan Huizhen obviously didn't expect the people in this patrol room to be so helpful, and she was a little surprised, "Well, I don't know how the wheels are stuck." ”

Huo Cheng bent down to check the wheel, looked at it, and then tinkered for a while, Ruan Huizhen didn't see how he got it, he saw him stand up and pull the horse, "Okay." ”

"That's it?" Ruan Huizhen looked at the carriage that was already able to move, and her face was full of surprise. The groom was still embarrassed.

But no matter what, it was all done with the help of others, Ruan Huizhen smiled with gratitude, "It's really thanks to Chief Huo, otherwise I don't know when I will delay Dao, it's really inconvenient today, and I will invite Chief Huo to dinner another day." ”

Huo Cheng nodded and said with a gentle smile, "Shopkeeper Ruan is so polite, then I will be disrespectful." ”

What a nice guy.

Ruan Huizhen was a little ashamed of her previous prejudices. In fact, there are still good people in the patrol room.

Huo Cheng looked at the pocket watch in his arms, "I still have to go on patrol, so I'll leave first." ”

Ruan Huizhen nodded hurriedly and watched Chief Huo's tall back leave.

It took a while for the coachman to come, with a helper by his side. Seeing that the carriage was ready, his face was a little surprised. When I heard that it was repaired by the people who patrolled the room, my face was even more surprised.

Ruan Huizhen didn't let people run in vain, and gave a few pennies, which can be regarded as tea money.

Seeing that the time was not early, Ruan Huizhen did not delay, and hurriedly asked the coachman to continue to deliver the goods. Be sure to deliver all the goods to the store today. in order to start making profits as soon as possible.

A few days later, many residents of the provincial capital found auspicious aged vinegar in various shops.

And these vinegars are not yet in bulk, but in various containers, there are delicate porcelain bottles, carved gourd bottles, and engraved bamboo tubes.

In this way, the vinegar packaged in a container is very fresh. Especially when buying rice, it is very convenient to bring a bottle of vinegar back by the way, and you don't need to buy another one.

"These vinegars are better than those in bulk, clean, easy to buy, and most importantly, they look high-end. It's still new, it's a new thing, and most people can't buy it. The young man who sold the rice was selling hard. The boss said that as long as he can sell a bottle, he can also get the benefit of a penny. Although the money is small, it is also another income. And if you sell too much, you may be able to earn a few more copper dollars a month.

For these businesses without capital, many shop owners treat them as if they were picked up for nothing, anyway, they sell them by the way, and let them sell if they have a partner, and mention it when they sell things themselves. The more you sell, the more money you can get. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat.

Ruan Huizhen has covered the stores in all areas of the entire provincial capital. In this way, an average of 100 bottles of vinegar can be sold every day. So when Ruan Huizhen came to check on the situation a week later, she was shocked by this number.

In just one week, she sold more than a thousand bottles of vinegar. Among them, the mid-range vinegar sells the best. This is followed by vinegar in porcelain and glass bottles.

Ruan Huizhen didn't care, what she wanted to do in the provincial capital was mainly for the purpose of mid-range vinegar.

After getting the exact number, Ruan Huizhen hurried back and asked Lin Hui to increase production.

"More than a thousand bottles sold?" Lin Hui was surprised. I can't let her be surprised, after all, this was something I didn't dare to think about before.

There was half a catty of vinegar in that bottle, and it was sold for more than 500 catties at once, which was really like a dream.

She is also a literate person, so she secretly calculated in her head that a bottle of vinegar can earn one copper dollar, and if she continues to sell it like this, she can earn almost four thousand copper dollars a month. Converted to oceans, that's forty oceans.

Forty Oceans!!

Their small workshop can earn forty oceans a month, which is simply impossible. But now it's very possible.

Rao is Lin Hui is not a very greedy person, and his face is red with excitement at the moment.

"Huizhen, let's, can our business be so good in the future?"

"Of course you can, now everyone is not familiar with our products, so there are not many people who buy them, and in the future, our auspicious vinegar brand will be played, and more people will buy our vinegar." And it's almost summer, so it's a good time for us to sell vinegar. ”

Hearing Ruan Huizhen's analysis, Lin Hui nodded again and again.

"Mmmm, I must be making vinegar for a while. Strive to brew more. ”

Ruan Huizhen smiled, "Don't worry, now we mainly have to grasp the quality." We must let others eat our vinegar and really think that our vinegar is good. ”

Lin Hui nodded solemnly, "I'll take a good look at it." ”

After explaining the matter, Ruan Huizhen went back to the room to rest. She's so tired about this for a while.

Before falling asleep, she drank another glass of space water in the space. After coming out, I looked in the mirror, and the skin on my face was now as delicate as an egg. Ruan Huizhen knew that this was just an effect on the surface, and inside, her body was getting stronger and stronger. When she was in Lujiazhen before, she was still dizzy at every turn, or had a small cold. But now that she has been busy like this, she can recover quickly, except for the feeling of fatigue sometimes. And she hasn't been sick for so long.

It can also beautify and nourish the skin, strengthen the body, and clear heat and detoxify, this water is really a good thing. It seems that this space will have to be carefully taken care of in the future. Strive to collect more precious varieties.

The next day, Ruan Huizhen went out early to find new potential customers. After adding a few new agents again, Ruan Huizhen has already begun to think about the shop's continued recruitment. But thinking about the storefront, she felt that this small workshop was no longer enough. Especially in the later stage, if the business is good, the supply may not be enough. In this case, is it time to start planning and building a factory? Although this thing is still early, it is not a day's work to build a factory, and you have to plan for it early.

Ruan Huizhen didn't expect to meet Chief Huo again so soon.

This time, Chief Huo was chasing and beating a few thugs. Ruan Huizhen usually runs outside, and she has also seen these idle gangsters. And these people sometimes verbally flirt with her. In order not to cause trouble, she has never clashed with these people. Today, I saw that Chief Huo led someone to subdue these little gangsters, and I was still a little happy in my heart.

Between the last time Chief Huo's friendly expression, Ruan Huizhen did not deliberately hide this time. After Chief Huo was done, she also greeted the other party in a friendly manner.

Ruan Huizhen also attaches great importance to connections. Before, she felt that the patrol room was very dark, so she didn't dare to provoke the other party. Now that he feels that Chief Huo seems to be a good person, he also has the heart to make friends, which can be regarded as his connections in the provincial capital.

After Huo Cheng handed over the people to the other patrols and took them away, he straightened his hat and walked over. There was a gentle smile on his originally cold face at the moment, "Shopkeeper Ruan, meet again." ”

Ruan Huizhen smiled, "I'll check on the situation in the store." I didn't expect to meet Chief Huo here. ”

Huo Cheng smiled, "I patrol the streets all day, and I will definitely meet them often in the future." He looked at the time again, "It's not too early, I'm going to eat, do you want to go with Shopkeeper Ruan?" ”

Hearing Huo Cheng talk about eating, Ruan Huizhen remembered the last time he said that he wanted to invite someone to dinner. Now that I have met it, and the other party invites me, if I say no, will it make the other party feel that I was perfunctory last time?

She only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Last time, Chief Huo helped me, and I also said that I wanted to invite you to dinner, or this time." ”

"Okay." Huo Cheng smiled slightly and took the watch into his arms.

At the end of the street, Chen Xiaohei and a few patrolmen were smoking cigarettes there, and both of them shivered when they looked at the gentle face of the leader.

One of the chubby patrolmen said, "What are you doing, boss, you suddenly brought us to arrest people today." These people have been here for so long, and they haven't seen anyone to care about this. ”

Chen Xiaohei smoked a cigarette and said mysteriously, "The boss is doing big things, and not everyone can know it." In fact, he didn't know what the boss was smoking. I've been wandering around the streets lately, and I don't know what to shop.

Yunlai Hotel, as soon as Huo Cheng entered the door of the hotel, the running hall and the shopkeeper inside greeted him, and greeted Huo Cheng with an eager expression.

Ruan Huizhen watched from the side, and sighed in his heart, this patrol leader is so powerful, sure enough, the county official is not as good as taking care of it now.

After entering the store, Huo Cheng was very gracious and asked Ruan Huizhen to order first. Ruan Huizhen said, "I said that I had a treat today, of course, the guests ordered first." ”

Huo Cheng said, "Then what do you like to eat?" ”

Ruan Huizhen smiled, "I'm casual." ”

Huo Cheng turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Then just order a few side dishes." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Ruan Huizhen, and then took the recipe with a respectful face and left.

"Chief Huo is quite familiar with this place." Ruan Huizhen began to look for a topic. Although she wants to befriend this Chief Huo, the relationship between the two is still in the stage of acquaintance, and it is difficult to mention some topics that cross the line.

Huo Cheng smiled and took a sip of tea, "I usually patrol the streets, sometimes there are people making trouble here, and I have helped solve it a few times." ”

Ruan Huizhen remembered how Huo Cheng had a good relationship with those traders last time, and said with a smile, "Chief Huo is really dedicated to the people, I think Chief Huo has a good relationship with them." ”

Huo Cheng smiled faintly, and sighed again, "They are all poor people, and I am also from a poor background, so I can understand their situation very well, of course I can help more." ”

is an honest person, and he says his poor background so directly, which shows that he is frank.

Ruan Huizhen has a little more affection for him, she doesn't have many contacts in the Republic of China, and it is rare to meet a few people who are worth befriending, so she is also ready to use some thoughts.

"If all the chiefs were as sensitive to the people's feelings as Chief Huo, our lives would be better." She picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "Replace wine with tea, thank you Chief Huo for your help before." ”

Huo Cheng raised his eyebrows, "It's just a matter of raising your hands." ”

Ruan Huizhen shook her head, "Not only last time, but also Zhu Changgui's time." If it weren't for the help of the patrol room, that Zhu Changgui would definitely not give up later. ”

Since Zhu Changgui was taken away last time, Ruan Huizhen has been guarding against finding fault after the other party is released, but after so many days, this Zhu Changgui has not reappeared, which makes her have a lot of doubts in her heart, so she took this opportunity to find Huo Cheng to find out about the situation.

Huo Cheng smiled, "Zhu Changgui shouldn't be bothering you." In fact, he may no longer be in the provincial capital. ”

"Huh?" Ruan Huizhen looked at him puzzled.

Huo Cheng said, "There are some things you still don't want to know, as long as you know that you don't have to worry about this person coming back to retaliate." If there's something going on, you can go straight to the patrol room and find me. ”

Hearing Huo Cheng's assurance, Ruan Huizhen could be regarded as putting her heart in her stomach now. At the same time, I also secretly felt that the patrol room was actually the same as the police station, and it also ensured the personal safety of citizens.

In between meals, Huo Cheng heard Ruan Huizhen say that he had just come to the provincial capital, so he took the initiative to introduce some customs and various complex forms of the provincial capital to her. This information is more detailed than Ruan Huizhen's own inquiry.

These made Ruan Huizhen's good impression of him gradually increase, especially knowing that Huo Cheng also came to the provincial capital from other places, and had some feelings of sympathy.

And Huo Cheng is also an orphan like her, Ruan Huizhen thought in her heart, it is not easy. was able to mix from a small ordinary person to the captain of the patrol team in the provincial capital, and the hardships were estimated to be more difficult than her doing business. After all, I have room for this golden finger. And Huo Cheng has nothing.

Huo Cheng didn't rush to pay the bill with her for this meal, but stood beside her with a natural face. Ruan Huizhen felt more comfortable. She usually has a strong temperament, and even if she goes out to eat with male comrades, she doesn't like these people to rob her around. It is precisely because of her personality that she has never had a boyfriend until she crossed over.

After eating, Huo Cheng said goodbye and continued to work.

Ruan Huizhen said, "Chief Huo, in the future, don't call me Ruan Shopkeeper, just call me Ruan Huizhen." ”

When Huo Cheng heard this, he took off his hat and said with a smile, "Then don't call me Chief Huo in the future, you can call my name in private." ”

Ruan Huizhen was not used to this kind of humble title, and Huo Cheng was able to say this, so he naturally regarded her as a friend, so he nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I'm not welcome in the future." ”

made an extra friend, and he was also the captain of the patrol team, which made Ruan Huizhen very happy. It also gave her a little more confidence in her future life in the provincial capital. At least not here in the future.

On the other hand, Ruan Huizhen also feels that her luck is not bad. I've been in business for so long, and I haven't encountered the kind of protection money and gang troubles that I often see in TV dramas.

What makes her happiest is that it is finally the day of the month-end payment.

Before, Lin Hui was worried that the business was not stable in the first month, and she might not receive forty oceans in the future, but the result surprised her very much. The total harvest this time, excluding the cost, was more than 50 oceans!

Fifty oceans, for some wealthy families, is naturally not a large amount.

But for the small vinegar factory, it is a miracle.

Ruan Huizhen frowned, not too satisfied with this result.
