334 Praying mantis catches cicadas
In fact, Yun Fang was also hesitating about whether to start pickling radish strips.
Since the last time she learned that someone was secretly eyeing the Lan family, she quickly went home and cleaned up all the traces of boiling salt without permission, she was a little more relieved.
Seeing that two months have passed, everything is still calm, and the business of the shop is also rising steadily, but the inventory at home is decreasing day by day.
Now, it is the season of radish harvest again, and the radishes planted by the villagers will be sent to the Lan family in a steady stream, but she has not made up her mind, whether the salt of the pickled radish is secretly boiled by her own family, or bought from the housekeeper's shop at a high price.
This year's Lan family is no longer last year's Lan family, last year's Lan family was still a little-known mountain village, this year's Lan family is already a rising star in the business community of Ning County, their every move does not know how many people are staring at it openly and secretly.
But if he gave up boiling salt for free and went to buy those expensive and outrageous salts, Yun Fang was a little unwilling. And in this way, the cost of opening a shop has increased greatly, which is really a big loss.
Just when Yun Fang was in a dilemma, Xiao Quanzi, who had been around Li Yongzhuan all day, took the initiative to come to her.
Yun Fang looked at Xiao Quanzi's face that made people unable to see through her emotions, and asked vigilantly, "You, what are you doing here?" Didn't you promise my godmother to help take care of Li Yongshuan, what are you looking for me?"
Although Yun Fang found out that Xiao Quanzi deliberately left Li Yongzhuan that day, she never guessed his thoughts, and after a few days of cold eyes, she did find that Xiao Quanzi was with Li Yongzhuan almost every day, and even sneaked out with him, but she never figured out Xiao Quanzi's true intentions.
Actually, not only this one thing, but many things Yun Fang didn't understand, as she spent more time with Xiao Quanzi, the more mysteries she found in him, which made her more and more wary of him.
Looking at Yun Fang's defensive appearance, Xiao Quanzi's eyes darkened, and he said in a distressed voice, "You, don't worry, I won't hurt you." ”
"Don't worry?" Yun Fang raised her eyebrows angrily, "Do you think I can put my mind at ease?"
"I know," Xiao Quanzi didn't avoid it in a smooth tone, but hung his head a little guiltily, and said seriously, "Please give me another month, when the time comes, I will definitely know everything, say everything, and there will be no more to hide." ”
"One month?" Yun Fang's eyes rolled, and he still asked vigilantly, "What else do you want to do? Is it related to the godmother's sudden entry into the city? Or do you want to use Li Yongshui? Let me tell you, Li Yongshui is my godmother's youngest son, and I don't allow you to hurt him!"
Seeing that Yun Fang connected the whole thing so quickly, Xiao Quanzi's eyes lit up, and a trace of appreciation flashed on his face, but in the blink of an eye, he restrained his emotions again, and just seriously assured, "I know, I know, I just want to use his mouth to pass on a message, and I will never hurt him." ”
Yun Fang thought for a moment and raised her voice and said, "Okay, remember what you said. Say, what do you need me to do for a month?"
"Don't do anything," Xiao Quanzi was unusually serious, almost admonishing, "You, don't do anything in the shop, at home, just keep everything as it is." No matter what rumors are out there, keep it as it is!"
"Okay," Yun Fang nodded, "I'll trust you again, I hope you don't play with fire!"
As soon as Xiao Quanzi's eyebrows were raised, he unconsciously brought his momentum of a long-time high-ranking person, and spent a lot of money, "Don't worry!"
Yun Fang and Xiao Quanzi reached an agreement, Yun Fang really calmed down, and he decided to wait for the time being to see what medicine was sold in Xiao Quanzi's gourd.
Yun Fang went back to Songpotun again, and discussed his thoughts with his father, both father and daughter felt that Xiaoquanzi seemed to be different from the previous time this time, even for the sake of safety, the Lan family should not act rashly for the time being, and the big water radish sent by the villagers was temporarily buried in the ground first, and waited and watched.
Yun Fang and his father discussed it properly, and returned to the shop in Ning County, and as soon as they went back, they heard a rumor that it was a big water radish on the market, and the Lan family was ready to make another move to pickle the particularly delicious and crisp radish strips. The rumors spread that there were noses and eyes, and it was also said that Lan Xiaodong's family was preparing to go back to their hometown this time.
Even Brother Dashan ran over and automatically asked for help, "Fang'er, there are too many pickled radishes at home this time, so let me go home and help." ”
Yun Fang's eyes rolled, and she seemed to understand Xiao Quanzi's previous words, she paused slightly, and said ambiguously, "Dad will arrange things at home, Dad hopes that you can keep an eye on the shop, so that he can deal with family affairs with peace of mind." ”
"Yes," Dashan raised his eyebrows and said without doubt, "I have a father in charge of the family, and I am also dizzy, and my head is hot when I am so pampered by Brother Yongzhuan that I want to go home to help."
"Brother Yongzhuan plucked you?" Yun Fang rolled his eyes and said quietly, "He is really concerned about the things in the shop." ”
"I can't say it," Dashan recalled, and said with some doubts, "I can't see through him lately, and I feel that he is no longer the same brother he used to be, as if he is hiding something from me." Could it be that Aunt Ju said that he had met a lot of people, is it true?"
This is almost certain, where would Li Yongzhuan actively pry people in the past, Yun Fang said secretly in her heart. However, he looked at his brother's confused appearance, but he was thinking about what Xiaoquanzi said, saying that he wanted to use Li Yongzhuan to send a message, if she ordered her brother, would it ruin Xiaoquanzi's affairs?
After a brief pause, Yun Fang still decided not to say anything, and said vaguely, "People will always have their own secrets when they grow up, even good brothers don't know everything, the matter of my brother and sister Osmanthus, will they be yelling everywhere?"
Dashan 'Teng' blushed all of a sudden, and said hesitantly, "Let's talk about Brother Yongshui, how to pull the osmanthus tweed, forget it, forget it, I won't tell you, I'm going out to be busy." ”
As he spoke, Dashan ran out at a trot, for fear that he would run slowly all of a sudden, and Yun Fang would say something that would make him embarrassed.
After Li Yongshui and Mao Cuirou flew in the red waves, they were carefully told by her ear, and decided to find out when the Lan family pickled radish strips, and he had to behave well, and strive to be promoted to a famous and real steward as soon as possible, and get more salaries and beautiful marriages.
Therefore, Li Yongxuan went to the mountain to verify the news with Yun Fang, he hid not far away and stared, and when he saw the mountain coming out, Li Yongxuan hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Dashan, how is it?" Li Yongzhuan asked with some eagerness, "Are the rumors outside true, are we going to have those delicious radish strips in our shop?"
"Fang'er said, my father is in charge of these things, and he pickles the radish strips with someone, I just need to take care of the shop," the red tide on Dashan's face had not yet faded, and he asked a little perfunctorily, "By the way, didn't you just say that you would go to your mother to buy some fabrics?" ”
"Oh," Li Yongxuan agreed, leaving the Lan family's shop a little sullenly, and unconsciously walked towards the small courtyard where he and Mao Cuirou had a tryst, and what he didn't know was that there was a person behind him who had been staring at him not far away, knowing that he had entered the courtyard, and the figure also easily climbed over the courtyard wall and followed in.
Mao Cuirou is not uncommon, whether Li Yongzhuan can help the Lan family and whether she can get promoted, all she needs is to get the news that the Lan family has started pickling radish strips again. Although there are rumors about this matter outside, she is still cautious and hopes to be confirmed from the inside.
Listening to Li Yongshui's slightly apologetic words, Mao Cuirou suddenly became overjoyed, and even the perfunctory and frustrated Li Yongzhuan had no patience, and hurriedly went out under the pretext that she still had to go to the pharmacy to buy fetal pills, and threw Li Yongshui, who was a little confused, in the yard alone.
It's just that Mao Cuirou was in a hurry to deliver this definite news, but she didn't know that she was a praying mantis catching cicadas, and she was chasing a yellow finch behind her.
Mao Cuirou left Li Yongzhuan behind, swayed all the way into the back door of Wenji Oil Mill, and behind her, two light-footed people came up, straight to watch her walk into Wenji Oil Mill, one of them nodded at the other, and the two of them turned over and followed in, and the other walked towards another inconspicuous small courtyard not far away like a puff of green smoke.
There are cobwebs on the gate of the small courtyard, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time. However, the figure did not hesitate, and jumped straight over the wall with the familiar way.
And what was waiting for him in the courtyard was Xiao Quanzi, who was dressed in a dark robe, and the solemn Li Qisong steward was supporting him.
"Less owner. The man stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
"Very good," Xiao Quanzi nodded, his eyes were as sharp as ice, he groaned slightly, and ordered Li Qisong with a side eye, "According to the previous orders, let's deploy them." ”
"Yes," Li Qisong agreed, took two steps and suddenly stopped, and said with some embarrassment, "But, the old club is there,......"
"Grandpa, I'll go and say it myself," Xiao Quanzi's heroic eyebrows raised, and he commanded categorically, "This time you just have to go all out, don't let the net slip through, I want to live!"
"Yes, Shaodong, subordinates and others understand. Li Qisong finally leaned over and beckoned to the man, and the two of them climbed over the wall together.
Xiao Quanzi dusted off his long shirt, moved his feet slightly, and flew out like a gliding geese.
