Chapter 43 Selling raw materials

Two hours later, it was the darkest time.

Fang Yuan was as tired as a dead dog, lying on the carriage full of raw materials, watching Su Li skillfully drive the carriage to the depths of the mountains and forests, his heart became more and more strange, with the experience of Miss Su Jia, how could he have such a clever driving skill?

In his eyes, Su Li was like a fog, becoming more and more mysterious and unpredictable.

With a few gasps, he reluctantly sat up, looked at the back of the carriage and couldn't help frowning slightly, and blurted out, "Xiao...... Su Li, the carriage is very calm and will leave extremely deep ruts, and we will easily be discovered. ”

"No, it won't." In front of the carriage, there were three words of vow, and there was no follow-up.

Fang Yuan's brows couldn't help but furrow even tighter, remembering what had happened on South Street a few days ago, he didn't ask again after all, he turned around and lay down to recover his strength.

An hour had passed, and the sky had turned white, and the carriage had finally stopped with a creaking.

Fang Yuan turned over and jumped out of the carriage, looking around and not only shocked, this place was so hidden, he didn't expect that there was such a place in Dasu Town.

The two of them were in a naturally formed valley, the valley was extremely narrow, the mountain walls on both sides were smooth and towering, covering the sky and the sun, and there were vines everywhere, if Su Li hadn't brought him here, he would never have found this place.

"The carriage stopped here and we went back. After a while, the Su Mansion will be in chaos, and I have to rush back to join in the fun. ”

Su Li said lightly, Fang Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You still have to think about how to cover up the ruts." ”

With that, he walked out of the valley full of worry, only to find that the road was flat and there was no trace of it.

"What's going on?"

Fang Yuan was shocked, he obviously saw the ruts behind the carriage along the road, how could he disappear by himself? It's so weird!

"Hurry back."

Su Li's face was as usual, and he left the valley with a urge. Fang Yuan woke up and immediately followed, after walking along the way, he couldn't help but fall into even greater shock, the ruts they came over really didn't leave any traces, Su Li ...... How, exactly?

"It's just a little trick, don't ask too much."

Su Li said perfunctorily, entered the Su Mansion through the back door of Jinyuan, and his figure disappeared.

"Is this still a trick?" Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, such a magical skill was not even available in Southern Xinjiang, which was famous for its trickery.

When she returned to Jinyuan, it was just the time to get up, and before Su Li had changed her clothes and was lying down, Mama Li came over and called her to get up.

With cultivation in his body, Su Li didn't sleep all night and was not tired, he washed and ate as usual, went to the school to study, and only when he was alone, he would show a little distress.

"The strange soil that was cultivated with great difficulty was used up like this, but it's a pity that it's ......"

The method of making the Strange Soil was an accident in her previous life, as long as she sprinkled a little Strange Soil along the way, no matter how oppressed she was within three hours, it would return to its original state in a short time, and it also had the effect of covering up the breath.

Once the three hours have passed, the Strange Soil will turn into normal soil, and no anomalies will be detected. In her previous life, she relied on the strange land, and she didn't know how many pursuits she had escaped. Naturally, some were made early in this life, just in case.

After the morning class, Su Li returned to Jinyuan, and Su Mansion still didn't move at all, it seemed to be the same as usual.

"It seems that Su Huanli blocked the news, but he is not stupid."

Su Li put down the brush and dried the envelope ink, his calm face glowing with a little coldness.

At this moment, in the warehouse in the back mountain, Su Huanli looked at the corner of the warehouse where there were only a few small bags of spices left, his face was extremely ugly, he slammed his fist on the wall, and roared in a low voice:

"The location of my Su family's warehouse is extremely hidden, who did it? With only such a little seasoning left, Baiweilou can't last two days at all! ”

Li Yin also frowned, such an accident was really unexpected.

"Master, the guards are all stunned by the incense and don't know anything. And...... There was no sign of carriage passing outside the warehouse, which was really weird. ”

Li Yin analyzed and said sentence by sentence, and Su Huanli suddenly said angrily: "Could it be that these seasonings will fly by themselves, Lao Li, there is really no raw material in the mountains near Dasu Town?" ”

Li Yin hurriedly leaned over and bowed his head and said, "Master, after searching for this month, the maturity period of this spice plant has already passed, and all the raw materials are collected in the warehouse. Even if you find the mountains around other towns, you won't have it at all. ”

"Bastard, that's unreasonable!"

Su Huanli trembled with anger, "Time is too coincidental, there must be an internal ghost in the Su family!" Damn, if there are no these raw materials, the name Huaji will be gone, and the reputation of Baiweilou will plummet! It's really a good means, who is dealing with my Su family......"

The more Su Huanli spoke, the more he felt chills and despair. The enemy's methods are not only clever, their every move seems to be in the eyes of the other party, but their own side is still black-eyed, and they don't know who made it.

After taking a breath, Su Huanli calmed down and ordered in a low voice: "Don't make a noise about this matter, otherwise it will be difficult for the Yang and Zhu families to explain, you go to the second ...... Li'er asked if she could replace it with other seasonings, and if she couldn't, let her develop a new dish immediately! ”

Li Yin sighed lightly when he heard this, how could he say that there were new dishes, and Baiweilou was afraid that it was going to end.

Thinking so in his heart, Li Yin didn't say anything, and hurried to Jinyuan.

"Raw materials stolen? Developing a new dish? ”

In the study, Su Li stood up in surprise and said in shock: "Grandpa housekeeper, what happened?" Could it be that all those ingredients have been stolen? ”

Li Yin sighed and was about to explain, but he heard the shouts of the doorman outside, "Butler, there is an extra letter on the door, come and take a look!" ”

Li Yindeng's expression was dazed, and he hurried to the gate, took the envelope from the doorman's hand, and asked, "When did this happen?" ”

"I just opened the door when the letter fell through the crack." The doorman answered truthfully, which made Li Yin's brows furrow even more, this kind of statement could not be deduced at all to know the specific time.

With a sigh, Li Yin unfolded the note, his eyes swept away, and his complexion changed slightly. Without saying a word, he brought the note to Su Huanli.

"I'm lucky, I have to call hundreds of catties of seasoning raw materials for flower chicken! If the Su family intends to buy it, they can go to Sanhe Bridge to trade in the middle of the night. The price per catty is 800 taels, presumably with the financial resources of the Su family, a mere 10,000 taels of silver can still be taken out. Remember, if you Su Huanli bring your subordinates or officers and soldiers over, I will disappear immediately. If you still want Baiwei House, then come and trade alone! Don't wait! ”

Su Huanli finished reading it with trembling hands, and immediately tore the note to shreds in anger, "Naked blackmail!" Hateful! Hateful! ”

Li Yin shook his head helplessly, "Master, this person steals the spices with the front foot, and sells them blatantly with the back foot!" Obviously, I know that my Su family will never give up calling Hua Ji, one pound of seasoning raw materials can make 300 called Hua Chicken, counting Miss's treasures called Hua Ji, the gross profit is only about 2,500 taels, and my Su family accounts for 40%, which is worth 1,000 taels of silver. This person will ask for eight hundred taels when he opens his mouth, which is the bottom line, and it is really terrifying......"

After listening to the line, Su Huanli suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, when did their Su family provoke such a terrible enemy? God unknowingly took away all the spices, and he was able to completely find out the bottom line of the Su family's profits, this is no longer an internal ghost, this is clearly the roundworm in the stomach of the Su family!

"Still, there's something this person doesn't count." Li Yin said in a low voice, "The fake accounts made by the master before are vivid, and the Zhu Yang family didn't find anything abnormal at all, so my Su family's profit can reach sixty percent, and the loss of eight hundred taels, the Zhu Yang family accounts for most of it, and we actually don't lose much." ”

Su Huanli's face improved a few points, but it was still ugly, "You hide in the dark tonight, go with me, if you can capture this person, I have to skin him!" ”

Li Yin was silent for a moment, and finally nodded imperceptibly.

Su Huanli sighed and said helplessly: "Lao Li, I know that you are very embarrassed, but you also know that the Su family is not a martial arts family, this time I encounter danger, I can only rely on you, if you can help me capture the thief, you can take half of the Su family's property." ”

Li Yin was slightly startled, and hurriedly excused himself: "The old man is serious, the old slave has never thought of seizing the Su family's property, he just wants to retire here with peace of mind." ”

Su Huanli's eyes narrowed with a smile when he heard this, "Then I won't be reluctant, you have to be careful today." ”

"Yes, sir."

In the afternoon, the weather was excellent, and Baiwei Tower was still as lively as usual, but Fang Yuan smelled a trace of unusual breath, it seemed that under this calm surface, the undercurrent was surging, and it was impossible to predict what would happen next.

"What the hell is she going to do with those spices...... Fang Yuan had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to go to Su Mansion to find Su Li, for fear of exposing himself.

In the blink of an eye, the moonlight shrouded the Sanhe Bridge like a light veil, and the calm lake reflected a lonely figure.

Through the moonlight, Su Li saw himself in the lake, a black-faced man in his thirties with a scruffy beard, his face was extremely ordinary, tall, but thin and long as a bamboo pole.

Whoever sees it will never associate this person with Miss Su Li, the most beautiful lady in Dasu Town.

"Fortunately, I am already a ninth-level cultivator, otherwise I would have to cultivate for a few days if I stretch my bones like this."

Su Li muttered in his heart, and a figure finally appeared on the other side of the Sanhe Bridge, it was Su Huanli, who came alone.

When Su Huanli saw the man's face, his heart immediately tightened, this person's face was extremely unfamiliar, he had never seen it before.

"Who the hell are you? What grievances do you have with my Su family? Why did you steal my Su family's goods? ”

Su Huanli asked three questions in a row, Su Li chuckled, and a hoarse and ugly voice sounded: "Old guy, don't talk nonsense!" Do you want those hundreds of pounds of raw materials, or do you want them? ”

After speaking, Su Li turned his head to look under the bridge, and his tone was a few minutes, "Old guy, I obviously let you come alone, but you have to bring someone, could it be that the note I gave you is not clearly written?" ”

When the words fell, Li Yin, who had just dived into the water, suddenly felt his heart tighten, was discovered? Or do you want to lie to him?

"You talk nonsense!" Su Huanli's heart was weak, but his complexion did not change, "I came here alone, you don't want to spew blood!" ”

"Hehehe......"

Su Li sneered a few times, "I can't imagine that the old housekeeper of the Su family is still an eighth-layer master." Do you think that if you stay at the bottom of the lake, I will treat you like a fish? I'll count three times, and if you don't come out, don't blame me for turning you into a dead fish! ”
