Chapter 146: Li Dabai's thoughts and Lu Mingtao's arrival
"Master, Steward Li is back." In the Li family compound in Song County, someone reported to Li Dabai. "Well, let him come to the study and see me."
"Sir." Steward Li entered Li Dabai's study and saluted him first. "Got everything?" Li Dabai raised his head and asked.
"Yes, sir." Steward Li bowed down again and replied. The little one went into the room with him, and saw him take out the pamphlet, and then transcribe it in his presence. When he returned, he warned him not to tell him about it. ”
"Well, you're doing a good job." Li Dabai nodded. "Do you know who Lu Dao provided them with this method?" Li Dabai picked up the teacup and took a sip of water slowly.
"Yes," Steward Li's face was a little strange, and he looked a little speechless.
"What's going on?" Li Dabai stared at him and asked, "Didn't he say it?" Li Dabai was a little angry, he spent a hundred taels of silver, but he refused to tell the details of that person, it was too much, no one in Song County dared to play him like this.
"That's not it, the villain just doesn't know if it's true or not?" Steward Li said hesitantly.
"Speak up and listen." Li Dabai took a deep breath first.
"He said that this watermelon was first grown by a child about 10 years old, and after being sold to the Muyue Trading Company, he taught them." Steward Li briefly introduced Lin Zhu's life experience.
"Are you sure he didn't lie to you?" Li Dabai didn't believe it. At that time, the little one thought the same, but although he couldn't believe all his words, the little one thought that he shouldn't lie about this, in Linjia Village. Just find out a person to know the truth of the truth. ”
"Well, that's right." Li Dabai also agreed with Steward Li's statement. "Don't you think that's weird, though? What would a 10-year-old do? ”
"I can't believe it." Steward Li, like Li Dabai, secretly thought about it. "Or her family left it for her. Now this person has no parents to take care of her, and lives in the village courtyard in the west of the village, but there are two servants to take care of her. The little one wondered if it was the two people who left it? ”
"What you said also makes sense, but these are not important now, the method you brought will be sent to Zhuangzi tomorrow, so that Zhuangtou can take a look. Can watermelon cultivation be successful in this way? Li Dabai commanded. He couldn't just listen to what Lin Feng said, he had to find someone who knew how to take a look.
"There is one more thing," Steward Li continued, "this Lin Feng doesn't seem to be very good with the village chief of Linjia Village. And the seeds he uses to grow watermelons are different from others. The part of the people brought by the village chief sold all the watermelons to the Muyue Trading Company. People close to Lin Feng can only sell watermelons to other trading houses, and the price is also worse. ”
"And this?" Li Dabai was a little interested in this, "What is the reason? ”
Lin Feng said that it was Lin Zhu. Oh, Lin Zhu is the one who took out the method of planting watermelons and gave it to the people of Linjia Village. When she planted watermelons, some people said something that she didn't like, and then she wanted to use this method, so she hated them, so she didn't provide them with seeds. Steward Li picked up the words he heard from Lin Feng and said them, of course, he didn't say the words that Lin Feng said about himself.
"It seems that this Lin Feng is not an honest person." Li Dabai snorted. "In that case, then we also need to get those good seeds," he said and instructed Steward Li, "Butler, you go and inquire again, where did her seed come from, if you can buy it, we will buy some, and if there is no outside, we will find that forest bamboo." ”
"Yes." Steward Li nodded yes. "Master, what if that forest bamboo lion opens his mouth? After all, we are not from Linjia Village. ”
"Hmph, it's just a little orphan girl, master, I can crush her to death with one finger, if she plays tricks, it doesn't hurt to teach her a little lesson." Li Dabai faced the coming wealth, and no one was allowed to be a stumbling block to him. He didn't think about it at all, Lin Zhu wouldn't sell the seeds to him.
"Yes, the master used her seeds to look up to her, just a child, and it was okay to coax her." Steward Li also patted Li Dabai's ass slightly.
After that, Steward Li first went to the Li family's Zhuangzi, and asked Zhuangtou to see the method of planting watermelons, and after getting Zhuangtou's affirmative answer, he discussed with Li Dabai to find time to go to Lin Zhu to buy watermelon seeds.
didn't wait for Li Dabai to come to the door, Lu Mingtao from Muyue Commercial Bank arrived first.
Before everyone in Lin Zhu's house expressed surprise at Lu Mingtao's arrival, someone frightened him first. "Chang Tianlei?" Chang Tianlei, who had just opened the door, heard the unknown person in front of him call out his name, and his face changed suddenly. The door slammed shut with a whoosh.
"Eh, don't close the door." Lu Mingtao just wanted to step forward, but he was almost hit by Chang Tianlei's sudden closed door. He came alone this time, only a horse behind him, and he was very glad that no one saw him, or he would have made the unscrupulous fourth master laugh if he didn't go back.
He looked at the closed door and knocked again. And this time it is the gate of the ten days.
"Who are you?" Chang Shi's sturdy body was blocking the door, and Lu Mingtao happened to be a little shorter than him, so he couldn't see anything in the world world in the door.
"Below is Lu Mingtao from Muyue Commercial Bank, who came to visit Miss Lin Zhu." In order to no longer be treated as being locked out, Lu Mingtao first identified himself.
"Someone from the Kizuki Firm?" Chang Shihu looked at him suspiciously, "Just you?" ”
"That's right." Lu Mingtao nodded.
"Liar." Bang, the door was closed again.
"Ugh!" Lu Mingtao looked at the gate in astonishment, and said in his heart, his face is quite open in the capital, why did he get here, no one wants to see him? No, I had to knock on the door for the third time.
"Lu Gongzi?" A voice made the dejected Lu Mingtao suddenly come back to life. He looked up, "Steward Zhang?" "It turned out that Dr. Zhang's housekeeper came to open the door." Ha Luha, it's really Lu Gongzi. It was just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I also hope that Master Lu has a lot, forgive one or two. Steward Zhang respectfully invited Lu Mingtao into the door, and asked the people below to lead Lu Mingtao's horse over.
"Boss Zhang is also here?" Lu Mingtao asked as he walked forward with Steward Zhang. "Yes, the lord really can't live so many people over there, this newly built house by Miss Buzhu has many rooms, so they all live here." Steward Zhang explained with a smile, "Master Lu, how could you come here alone?" I didn't bring anyone with me. Steward Zhang looked at him and said in his heart, no wonder Chang Shi said that he was a liar.
"It's easy to attract attention if there are too many people, and now many people in the capital are staring at me." Lu Mingtao said helplessly.
"Hehe, the villain has also heard about Lu Gongzi's great achievements. Lu Gongzi is a good means. Steward Zhang said with a smile.
"Steward Zhang is laughing at me, others don't know what to say, don't you understand? If it weren't for Mr. Zhang's connection, how could I have been so blessed to meet Miss Lin Zhu. "Lu Mingtao's eloquence is quite good.
"Mr. Lu is too polite, please, the master will live here temporarily." When he arrived at the door of Dr. Zhang's room, Steward Zhang knocked on the door first, and then bowed down to invite him in.
"I've seen Mr. Zhang." Lu Mingtao gave a salute first. "Master Lu, it's too polite, come on, please take a seat." Lu Mingtao straightened up and realized that there were other people in the house. It was the people he had just seen who locked him out twice, Chang Tianlei and Chang Shi.
"Hehe, I was really sorry just now, they misunderstood you." Dr. Zhang apologized on behalf of Chang Tianlei and the others.
"It's okay, they should be cautious, but Lu is too abrupt." Lu Mingtao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care. "It's just that I didn't expect that the people who couldn't be found in the capital would actually be in this small mountain village. Hehe, what a great place. Lu Mingtao smiled.
"It's also due to fate, presumably Lu Gongzi won't spread the news." Dr. Zhang also smiled at him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, Lu is not such a broken mouth." Lu Mingtao immediately assured him.
"There's Lao Lu's son." Doctor Zhang nodded, "I don't know what Mr. Lu came here this time?" Dr. Zhang vaguely felt some thoughts, but he couldn't grasp them for a while.
"Lu came over this time, mainly to discuss the matter of the special white rice with Miss Lin Zhu. Presumably, Boss Zhang also knows that now everyone in the capital is staring at this special white rice, and the threshold of our Muyue Commercial Bank is about to be flattened by those dignitaries. Lu Mingtao sighed, "There are also people who are looking at Muyue Commercial Bank, what to do next." This time, the limelight is indeed a little bigger. ”
"Hehe, it seems that you guys have counted all the money." Doctor Zhang made a joke about Mu Qiyue.
"This is also a blessing thanks to Miss Lin." Lu Mingtao said with a modest smile. "It's just that this blessing and misfortune have always depended on each other, and the seed stores in the capital have been asked if there are rice seeds of this kind of special white rice, and I am also afraid that someone will find Miss Lin Zhu here, so I will come over quickly."
"Lu Gongzi came at the right time, and we are also looking for you." Dr. Zhang's words made his eyes light up. "It seems that Miss Lin Zhu wants to continue to cooperate with Muyue Commercial Bank."
"Of course, after all, Muyue Trading House has always been very interesting to the bamboo girl." Dr. Zhang said with a smile, and suddenly his tone changed, "It's just that I, the person who pulled the strings, was thrown aside." ”
"Hehe, where can it be, Mr. Zhang is really joking." Lu Mingtao didn't expect Dr. Zhang to mention this matter so quickly, but just laughed a few times. The pot of orchids is indeed a bit unauthentic for him.
"Jokes? The old man doesn't laugh. Doctor Zhang said with a straight face, "When will you return that pot of summer plums?" Doctor Zhang asked directly. (To be continued......)
