Chapter 55: The magistrate came to the door

In the following days, although the murder of the Land Temple was vigorously investigated, there was no result, so that it finally became a headless public case.

And what surprised Ye Yu was that not long after the last trip to Zuichun Building, Oiran Liu Qianyu left Qingliu County.

As for where the beautiful woman Fang Zhi went, the answer given by the old bustard in Zuichun Lou was that a foreign businessman took a fancy to Liu Qianyu and ransomed her as a personal concubine.

Of course, Ye Yu would not think that Liu Qianyu was married to a businessman, but for this matter, he was inexplicably stunned.

Although the mood is complicated and difficult to sort out, the busy days have gradually made Ye Yu forget his troubles. Nowadays, the booming cloth business has made it difficult for the current dyeing workshop to support, because the demand for eighteen shops in Chuzhou is far beyond Ye Yu's imagination.

In addition, he deliberately lowered the price of cloth in the market, and dragged the price of cloth to 28 yuan per piece of cloth, such a cheap cloth was close to the standard price lowered by the imperial court.

For other cloth merchants, such a frenzied sale at a small profit is tantamount to suicide, because it is simply unprofitable.

But for Ye Yu, it is the opposite, for him, the amount of profit is not important, the important thing is to fulfill the promise made to Liu Yuanshan that day.

Moreover, with the grey fabric spinning loom he made, as well as the improvement of the equipment in the dyeing workshop, the cost of cloth has been reduced from the source in terms of output efficiency.

It is precisely because of the low price and high quality of Ye Yu's cloth that shops in other states have even come thousands of miles to discuss cooperation.

Ye Yu was naturally very happy to see this situation, but these incoming cooperation orders also made him breathless. After all, his strength is still not enough, and he simply cannot withstand everyone's orders.

Ye Yu is so unique, it can be said that he has disrupted the market in Chuzhou and other places, so he has also secretly suffered a lot of resentment.

Although the businessmen in the same company intended to jointly suppress it, they were helpless to hinder the relationship between Ye Yu and Liu Quan. Besides, even if they wanted to suppress Ye Yu, they had to have that strength.

Nowadays, in addition to Lai'an, the four counties of Chuzhou all have Chinese dyeing workshops opened by Ye Yu. In addition, with the high-speed operation of the equipment of today's dyeing workshop, it is already the beginning of the general trend.

Even if the cloth merchants in the entire Chuzhou united with the intention of reducing the price of cloth to defeat Ye Yu, the result was only to praise Ye Yu's mind.

Because if it is compared to small profits and quick turnover, with the alliance of Ye Yu and the Pan family, it has now occupied the dominant advantage in Chuzhou.

The so-called shopping malls are like battlefields, although Ye Yu's move reduced the price of cloth, but also made most people in the dyeing industry bankrupt.

Ye Yu actually understands this very well in his heart, but he is also helpless, because the shopping mall itself is a process of devouring and being devoured.

Moreover, in order to be able to win orders from all over the world and alleviate the increasing supply, he can only continue to expand.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year again, and before I knew it, I had been in Song Land for more than two years. In the past six months, Ye Yu has been in turmoil all the way and has acquired 16 bankrupt dyeing mills in Chuzhou.

In this way, the private cloth industry in the entire Chuzhou, until this moment, Ye Yu can be regarded as taking the place of the Pan family.

In this process, Ye Yu knew that he should be grateful to Liu Yuanshan's uncle and nephew, because without the influence of the two, it would be difficult for him to achieve what he has achieved today.

Therefore, after he decided to finish the matter at hand, he made a special trip to Lai'an Mansion to visit Liu Quan, the general judge.

Liu Yuanshan's term of office has expired, and he resigned due to old age and illness to retire, and is now temporarily living in the house of his nephew Liu Quan. Ye Yu could visit Liu Yuanshan to thank him, and he also wanted to go back to Lai'an to have a look, because he felt that it was time to go back.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year is extremely strong, the Ye family's house is decorated with lights, and the housekeeper Uncle Sun is busy ordering the servants to buy New Year's goods.

Qiulan, on the other hand, has been busy in the kitchen for a morning and has not stepped out of the kitchen for half a step. Everyone in the entire mansion was busy for Chinese New Year's Eve, and only Ye Yu was sitting idly at the stone table in the courtyard basking in the sun.

"Hey, let it go, let it ......" Just when Ye Yu closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare tranquility, a rush of footsteps, accompanied by a nervous shout, came to him.

Ye Yu opened his eyes helplessly, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Immediately afterwards, he saw Qiulan hurriedly running over with a dinner plate, first putting the dinner plate on the stone table, and then puffing out a sigh of relief.

looked relaxed and didn't forget to wipe the sweat stains on her forehead with her sleeves, but Qiulan didn't know that her face had already been stained with oil, and now this wipe has become a big flower face.

"Hahaha!" Ye Yu looked at Qiulan with a catly face, and couldn't help laughing before he could say anything.

Seeing this, Qiu Lan looked puzzled and puzzled, and glanced down at her clothes habitually, feeling that there was nothing wrong, so she asked suspiciously: "Young master, what are you ......?"

Ye Yu gradually stopped laughing, and then stretched out his hand to signal Qiu Lan to come forward and speak.

When Qiulan obediently bent down and wanted to know why the young master was laughing, Ye Yu took out a narrow sweat towel from her sleeve, gently wiped the stains on her face for her, and then smiled dotingly: "It's burning all day long, isn't there a cook in the kitchen?" You have been squatting in for most of the day and not coming out, so you are not afraid to set the kitchen on fire? ”

Although he complained about Qiu Lan's recklessness, he didn't feel the slightest sense of blame, Qiu Lan was a little stunned at first after hearing it, but then she was blushing with a hint of sweetness.

"Young master, this is the three-silk squid you once said, would you like to taste this dish?" Qiulan enjoyed the warmth, but also did not forget the delicious food she served.

"Oh? Will you make this dish? After Ye Yu wiped the stains on Qiu Lan's face, he turned his gaze to the plate on the stone table.

Qiulan saw that Ye Yu was suspicious, so she reached out and took away the big bowl on it, and then a burst of aroma hit, making Ye Yu feel a burst of drunken fragrance.

When I raised my eyes, I saw that it was really a three-silk squid, and I couldn't help but be surprised: "Just with this color, fragrance, and already there, I don't know what this taste like?" ”

As soon as Ye Yu's words fell, Qiu Lan had already handed over the chopsticks: "Young master, try it......"

"Hmmm! Good! Ye Yu happily took the chopsticks, picked up the delicious food on the plate and put it in his mouth.

Ye Yu chewed the dishes in his mouth, and slowly tasted the taste. Qiulan on the side looked at Ye Yu nervously, and said in her heart that she had been busy for a morning, so it didn't suit the young master's taste.

After a while, Ye Yu nodded slightly, and finally shook his head helplessly slightly, this wordless move made Qiulan, who was eager on the side, suddenly go up and down, and then asked nervously in a low voice: "Young master, you nodded and shook your head, is this dish not to your liking?" ”

Ye Yu turned his head and smiled gently at Qiulan: "No, it is very rare that you can make such a Sichuan dish with such color and flavor?" ”

"Sichuan cuisine?"

"Well, this Sichuan cuisine, it is the practice of this dish that originates from Sichuan, so it is called Sichuan cuisine!"

Ye Yu only found out at this time that he had made a mistake again, and Sichuan cuisine only became a system during the Two Song Dynasty, but it was not at the moment when it was really called Sichuan cuisine.

Qiulan sighed, then tilted her head and said, "Then you just shook your head......"

Ye Yu pointed to the dishes on the plate, and explained with pity: "The people in Sichuan Gorge and other places love spicy food, so the success or failure of this dish lies in whether it is spicy or not!" You add a lot of pepper, but you can't get the flavor! ”

Seeing Qiulan's lost look, Ye Yu also felt helpless. All you need for this dish is a chili pepper, which is unfortunately not owned in Middle-earth.

In later generations, chili peppers could be found everywhere in the pastoral bazaar, but at this time it was difficult to find them. Therefore, the kind of taste that Ye Yu wanted could not be achieved at all, unless he crossed the ocean to South America.

Ye Yusheng* eats spicy food, although he is not a northerner or a Sichuanese in his later life, but this preference makes him very fond of spicy.

A few days ago, he inadvertently mentioned the three-silk squid in front of Qiulan, but he never thought that this little girl would really make it.

"It's not your fault, because there's a lack of an ingredient that's extremely rare! Besides, I'm not the kind of person who talks about it, and I just talked about it casually......"

Ye Yu's comfort didn't work at all, Qiu Lan picked up the plate silently, turned around and ran back to the kitchen. This made Ye Yu suddenly feel that he was too sincere, so why should he be frank.

"Young master, don't you know, this girl has been practicing her cooking skills for your dish recently, and she has dragged the old man to collect a lot of recipes!" Uncle Sun, who walked into the courtyard, saw the scene just now, so he quickly came to the front and sighed softly.

"And such a thing?" Ye Yu couldn't help but feel a burst of guilt in his heart, and he regretted his previous sincerity. However, he knew that Uncle Sun must have something to do here, so he put the matter aside and asked softly, "Uncle Sun, what's the matter?" ”

"Oh, the official came to inform him, saying that he was going to come here as soon as the magistrate of the county magistrate came!" As soon as he mentioned the matter, Uncle Sun's expression became stern.

"Oh, Lord Magistrate?"

When Ye Yu heard that Yang was coming, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Although he met Yang Zheng a few times during this period and chatted twice, it was just a communication need for the occasion.

Moreover, Ye Yu never forgot the last reminder of Liu Qianyu in the Drunken Spring Building.

Afterwards, he also sent someone to investigate this Yang Zheng, and learned that this person was a local official in the capital, although he was a minor official, he was a hundred times better than this Qingliu Zhi County.

But now that he has been transferred to the magistrate of Qingliu County, there is indeed something suspicious. But fortunately, these days, Yang Zheng did not feel discord with him, and the two got along well.

It's just that now that the end of the year is approaching, what is the so-called matter of this Yang Zheng surrendering his identity and suddenly coming to visit?

Just when Ye Yu was thinking about Yang Zheng's intentions here, there was already a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and Ye Yu, who had excellent hearing, knew that Yang Zheng, the magistrate of the county, was here! So he instructed Uncle Sun to open the door in the middle, and he pushed the wheelchair to meet him.

Although the county is small, it is also more noble than the cloth merchant, and he does not dare to be slack.
