114 Protection

After Shang Shigong hesitated, out of protection of Shang Jinxiu, he decided not to take Du Yuzhang to visit the test field, but only took him to Li Shuhua's grange to visit.

Because of Shang Jinxiu's scientific planning in the past three years, the Grange has been transformed into ecological farming, not only producing more crops, but also the output is not comparable to previous years. Shang Shigong is confident, and after Du Yuzhang goes to see it, he will inevitably open his eyes.

He nodded and agreed to Du Yuzhang's request. Du Yuzhang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that Shang Shigong hesitated for a long time, and thought that he would not agree. If this is the case, then he should also consider whether he should recommend Shang Shigong to succeed him as the prefect of Qingzhou.

The time was already noon, Shang Shigong thought about it, and took Du Yuzhang and his entourage to 'Yipin Xian' for dinner.

In the scorching summer, the dishes of 'Yipin Xian' have been adjusted, mainly crisp and refreshing, and cold dishes that dispel heat and relieve heat. Because of the large number of people, Shang Shigong deliberately took Du Yuzhang to the backyard of 'Yipinxian'. Although Du Yuzhang was born in a family, he did not treat his entourage harshly, he and Shang Shigong chose a small square table to sit on, and let the rest of the entourage also sit separately.

Tasting the mellow wine brewed by 'Yipinxian' and eating the delicious food specially cooked by the chef, Du Yuzhang couldn't help sighing, and then seeing Shang Shigong eating casually, it seemed to be commonplace, and he felt a little jealous of Shang Shigong in his heart.

Speaking of which, he is still the prefect of Qingzhou, and he is from a family, but he doesn't eat as well as a businessman! Of course, if you really want to talk about the patterns of the dishes, the chefs in the big family are all experts, and there are many tricks. But no matter how many tricks are good-looking, no matter how many good materials are used, Du Yuzhang still thinks it. The taste of those dishes is still a little worse than that of 'Yipin Xian'.

What's more, it can be seen from the price of 'Yipinxian'. These dishes are not like those of large families, and they are all seasoned with the best ingredients.

Du Yuzhang couldn't help but sigh. I feel that Shang Shigong really married an amazing wife. Although he was born in a business, this means of accumulating money is not something that ordinary people can have.

Because of Shang Shigong and Li Shuhua's deliberate protection of Shang Jinxiu, outsiders thought that the change of 'Yipinxian' was Li Shuhua's handiwork, and they didn't know that Lu Dao was completely from Shang Jinxiu's hand. Whether it is the decoration design, business model, or dishes, it was all thought up by Shang Jinxiu.

After Du Yuzhang sighed, he had the same idea as Bai Yujing back then. hopes that the merchant can open 'Yipinxian' to the capital, of course, he also has the same selfishness as Bai Yujing. Merchants have no foundation in the capital, and if they want to run a restaurant well, they naturally have to rely on the strength of the Du family.

At that time, the capital's 'Yipin Xian' will basically be controlled by the Du family, which can not only take the opportunity to make money, but also have more other uses.

So he hesitated for a moment, and then with the strength of the wine, he proposed to Shang Shigong: "Shigong." Have you ever thought about driving 'Yipinxian' to the capital? Don't you think it's a pity that a good place like 'Yipinxian' will not do anything if it is opened in a small county, and it won't make much money? ”

Shang Shigong is not a fool. Unable to think of Du Yuzhang's purpose, he smiled and said, "Don't hide it from your lord, the family's business is all in charge of the family." The lower officials never interfered. Neither Neiko nor Xiaguan have any ambitions, and they do some business to supplement their families. Xia Guan didn't want to go for a little silver. I'm tired of Uchiko. After all, money is something outside the body, and it is enough to spend it. ”

Du Yuzhang heard Shang Shigong's refusal. Although I felt a little regretful in my heart, I didn't continue to force it. He no longer continued to talk about this topic, but as soon as the topic changed, he inquired about the Grange with Shang Shigong.

Shang Shigong saw that he no longer continued to mention the matter of 'Yipin Xian', and he was secretly relieved. Where can he not see, 'Yipinxian' business is hot now, it is indeed easy to make people red, but the people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, once the 'Yipinxian' is opened to the capital, then the capital's 'Yipinxian' will fall into the control of the Du family, if something happens again, the merchant will not know how to die!

Even if he believed in Du Yuzhang's character, but there were so many Du families, he didn't dare to have the slightest luck.

A meal can be regarded as a happy meal, Du Yuzhang listened to Shang Shigong talk about the Grange and listened to it unbearably, it was the first time he heard that the Grange could be managed like this!

After eating, Du Yuzhang hurriedly urged Shang Shigong to take him to visit the Grange. Shang Shigong didn't refuse, anyway, he had already sent someone to send a letter to Li Shuhua before he went out, and at this time of eating, Li Shuhua must have already made it clear to him in the grange, what to say and what not to say, these people all understand, and they are not afraid of making trouble.

The group went to Li Shuhua's grange outside the city, and after they left, another group of people came out of the 'Yipinxian', which was Gu Haotian and his entourage. Gu Haotian came to Qingshan County this time to see the secret of Du Yuzhang's coming here. So he set up a secret post outside the county office to keep an eye on Du Yuzhang's movements.

Knowing that Du Yuzhang and Shang Shigong had come to 'Yipinxian', he also came with his entourage, but he couldn't go to the backyard, so he had to book a private room close to the backyard. After the bamboo curtain in the backyard was rolled up, he could see the situation in the backyard when he sat in the private room.

However, all the buildings of 'Yipinxian' have a lot of wind chimes hanging under the eaves, and when the wind blows, it will make a crisp and pleasant impact sound. In addition, Du Yuzhang and Shang Shigong's voices were not loud, even if Gu Haotian had good strength and excellent ear power, he couldn't hear what they were saying.

Although he couldn't hear it clearly, Gu Haotian still tried his best to distinguish a few words, and guessed that Du Yuzhang and Shang Shigong were discussing the Grange. He instantly thought of the various novel ingredients in 'Yipin Xian', and his mind moved.

After Shang Shigong and Du Yuzhang left with their entourage, Gu Haotian sent two clever entourages to follow him from afar, and he himself took the rest of his entourage to the merchant and handed over a letter of worship to express his visit.

Li Shuhua had already known about the conflict between Shang Jinxiu and Gu Haotian on the road, and her perception of Gu Haotian was quite bad, if Shang Jinxiu hadn't told her that she had extorted Gu Haotian for a thousand taels of silver, Li Shuhua would have been eager to take someone to teach Gu Haotian a hard lesson.

Seeing the greeting post sent by the subordinate, Li Shuhua didn't look at it, and directly asked the subordinate to send it back, and he didn't even bother to see Gu Haotian.

Gu Haotian is so big. It's the first time I've been treated like this. He pinched the prayer note that had been sent back by the porter, because it was too hard. Bai Ti was directly pinched and wrinkled by him. casually threw the crumpled prayer post to the entourage, and Gu Haotian turned over and got on the horse. Leaving the merchant with his entourage.

Since this road doesn't work, he has to take another path.

In the inner courtyard of the business, Shang Jinxiu was squatting on the roof, holding a palm-sized monocular in his right hand, watching Gu Haotian's every move. At this moment, she felt a breeze blowing behind her, and Shang Jinxiu's heart moved, and the monocular in her right hand disappeared.

The next moment, she was tapped on the shoulder. When I turned my head, it was really Lan Qi. Lan Qi took her right hand and looked at it, and asked suspiciously, "What did you just hold in your hand?" ”

Shang Jinxiu was shocked, could it be that Lan Qi saw it? However, her face was very calm, and a pair of eyes looked at Lan Qi curiously and innocently: "Your eyes are spent, right?" What's in my right hand? ”

Lan Qi wasn't sure, after all, Shang Jinxiu's sleeve was also partially blocked, and she only vaguely saw that Shang Jinxiu seemed to be holding something in her right hand, which was still black. But after checking Shang Jinxiu's hands, it was clear that there was nothing. She touched Shang Jinxiu's sleeve pocket unbelievingly. Or not.

Lan Qi then believed that she should have seen it wrong just now. She was used to messing around with Shang Jinxiu, but she didn't feel embarrassed, but just asked, "What are you doing here?" Soak up the sun? ”

It was noon. The sun is very scorching.

Shang Jinxiu immediately hugged Lan Qi and asked her to take her down, but Lan Qi didn't refuse, and floated down from the roof with her. The movements are unusually beautiful. It's just that when she went down, Lan Qi didn't forget to count Shang Jinxiu: "If you want to cultivate well, you just won't." Okay now, right? It's stupid to ask me to help you with such a simple thing! ”

Shang Jinxiu smiled and didn't speak. Anyway, Lan Qi said this out of concern for her, her ears heard the calluse, and there was really nothing to care about.

Lan Qi glared at her, and then became serious: "I think this kid surnamed Gu is not a thing, he must have a bad stomach." He definitely took the initiative to come to the door not only to apologize, but probably with other intentions. ”

Shang Jinxiu naturally knew this, she felt that Gu Haotian would come to Qingshan County to find out the reason or purpose of Du Yuzhang's coming here, but she was not worried about Gu Haotian knowing the matter of Lu Dao Grange. Anyway, Shang Shigong had already taken Du Yuzhang to the Grange, and when Du Yuzhang understood the operation mode of the Grange, he believed that this model would soon be popularized, which was not a secret at all.

Although after the promotion of this model, the business industry will be affected by some impact, and no longer has a unique advantage, but as the so-called 'wood show in the forest wind will destroy it', the business is too maverick, which is not a good thing. In terms of long-term interests, doing so can avoid businesses from becoming the target of public criticism in the future, and that small loss is really nothing.

Seeing that Shang Jinxiu didn't speak, Lan Qi was a little anxious: "Let's go, let's go and see, what the hell is this kid's idea!" ”

Shang Jinxiu knew that she was kind, so she didn't refuse. In fact, the weather was hot at this time, and if it was normal, Lan Qi would not go out at all. Now it's all for her.

Shang Jinxiu was very moved, she held Lan Qi's hand tightly, and made up her mind that no matter what Lan Qi wanted, she would try her best to satisfy her. Even if she is extremely poor all her life, she has to help Lan Qi live the life she wants.

The two changed their clothes, and Lan Qi pulled Shang Jinxiu out of the door. They didn't take the carriage, after all, the target was too big, so they only took an oil-paper umbrella and chased in the direction Gu Haotian left. (To be continued......)

PS: I saw a girl in the comment area asking questions about why the heroine can't cultivate internal strength. Explained here, it's not that the heroine can't cultivate internal force, but the internal force she cultivates has been transformed into an ability. Of course, this is my personal setup. The main reason is that I don't want the heroine to be too omnipotent, after all, she already has a spatial ability. In addition, it was initially set as a spatial ability instead of a portable space, so that the heroine could have the ability to protect herself. If you practice internal strength and martial arts, the setting of the spatial ability will become a chicken rib, what is the difference between following the body space, right? I hope the girls will understand this. However, you don't have to worry about the heroine's force value at all, the lethality of the spatial ability is definitely at the perverted level for a group of ancients who cultivated internal strength.
