Chapter 163: The Mystery Within
"Lin San, is this true, is this true?" The eldest lady looked at her slender palm in disbelief, it was still so white and tender, as if it was just a simple handwashing just now, which was amazing.
"Don't believe me? You can go wash it again. But I can't guarantee that you won't be fried into pig's trotters this time. Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
The bubbles under the oil have been exhausted, and the oil in the pot is really boiling, and now ten little hands go down, and there are ten fried pig's trotters.
"No way, this can't be." Tao Dongcheng seemed to be crazy, and suddenly rushed forward, reaching out to go to the oil pot.
"Brother-" Wanying, who was following him, had been paying attention to his movements for a long time, and as soon as she saw him crazy, she immediately reached out and grabbed him, but it was still a little late, and Tao Dongcheng's fingers were already halfway in.
The scream of "ah" suddenly shocked everyone. Although the five fingers of Tao Dongcheng's right hand are only halfway in, the power of the hot oil pot cannot be underestimated. After a scream, his palm was quickly withdrawn, but his five fingers were already red and punished, and in an instant there were big blisters.
"You, you, how is this possible-" Tao Dongcheng's face was like ashes, and there was a heart-piercing pain in his fingers, pointing at Lin Wanrong and saying, "You are a demon law." ”
Tao Wanying hurriedly found sesame oil and bandaged her brother. The five fingers were connected to the heart, and the sharp pain in the fingers made Tao Dongcheng scream again.
Wanying took a look at her brother's injury, although her fingers were only half in, but the power of boiling oil was extraordinary, and this palm was good. I'm afraid it's not as sharp as it used to be.
"Lin San, you used demon magic to harm my brother. I won't let you go. Tao Wanying looked at Lin Wanrong, and angry flames shot out of her eyes.
The hall was full of strangers. This Lin Sanmo doesn't really know how to demons. Miss Fang Cai reached out to withdraw the money so easily, why did it take Tao Gongzi's turn to change his appearance?
"Demon law?" Lin Wanrong sneered: "Miss Tao, in today's competition, all the brothers and sisters in the hall have seen it with their own eyes, and there is Master Xu to do the notarization, where did everyone see that I used the demon law." Speaking of which, this competition was suddenly proposed by Tao Gongzi, he had already made sufficient preparations, but my Xiao family responded to the battle in a hurry, which was very unfair to the Xiao family. He bullied the Xiao family as women. and used his position and power in the Jinling Chamber of Commerce to force a weak female stream to compete with him, which is right and wrong. Everyone understands it. If Tao Gongzi wins, will you say that your brother has used some demon methods, and will you cry out for the Xiao family? ”
Tao Wanying glanced at him angrily, although she hated this Lin San, she had to admit that what Lin San said was reasonable.
"Everyone in the world has selfish intentions. It's understandable, but black and white like you are obfuscating. You can only win, but you can't lose, you will be the Tao family is really the first in the world? Heaven and earth jokes. Lin Wanrong glanced at Tao Wanying disdainfully.
"Then what's going on with this oil pot washing hands? Why is Sister Yuruo fine, but my brother is seriously injured. Tao Wanying said angrily.
"Everything in the world has physics, and this is the science of nature." Lin Wanrong said: "Besides, I have already given Tao Gongzi a chance before, and let him withdraw the money before the eldest lady, but he is afraid of it." Gave up the opportunity. On the other hand, the eldest lady, the Xiao family has been forced to a dead end by your Tao family, even if she doesn't want this hand, she will definitely take things from the oil pot. How can your brother be matched with such spirit and will? Then again, this test was proposed by your brother, and he took the blame for this lesson, but how could he complain to others? ”
This remark is reasonable, everyone in the hall nodded, today's matter of the chamber of commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang joining forces to coerce the Xiao family is what everyone has seen with their own eyes, and the competition was proposed by Tao Dongcheng first, and he really can't complain about others.
"Tao Gongzi, this competition was proposed by you, and the old man is fair, and he is willing to lose the bet, what else do you have to say?" Xu Wei looked at Tao Dongchengdao.
Since it is a best-of-three system, the Xiao family has won two games in a row, and there is no need to compete in the third game.
Tao Dongcheng's eyes were gloomy, this time it was really a complete defeat, the Tao family lost two games in a row in front of everyone's eyes, it can be said that stealing chickens does not become a counter-erosion, and the Tao family loses skills and loses. This Lin San seems to be a freak, these two battles, he fought by his own hands, but he lost in a daze. How could Lin San recognize this diamond, and how could he know so much about diamonds? Why are the same two people washing their hands in this oil pot, but they are completely different results? The mystery of this, Lin Wanrong doesn't say, I'm afraid no one in the world knows.
"Students are willing to gamble and lose, so they will step down as the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, and invite the brothers and sisters in the association to choose another meritorious." Tao Dongcheng said helplessly: "My Tao family's cloth village will be transferred to the Xiao family free of charge, and the student will make a note." ”
Under the supervision of Xu Wei, an old fox, Tao Dongcheng couldn't play any tricks, so he honestly instructed Tao Wanying to make a note, Tao Dongcheng made his left hand press a handprint, and the Tao family's cloth village became the property of the Xiao family.
The eldest lady looked at the things in front of her in a trance, all of this, as if she was dreaming, she glanced at Lin San and sighed: "Today's things are really weird, I still can't figure it out for a while." ”
Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Life is like this, changes will always only appear in a moment, and when you understand the place, everything is already a fact." ”
The eldest lady nodded, then collected her emotions and carefully considered how to receive the Taojia Cloth Village.
Xu Wei swept the people in the hall: "Today, President Tao of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce resigns, according to the old opinion, it is better to take advantage of the great opportunity for the two chambers of commerce to gather today, and then elect a new president to ensure the normal operation of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, what do you think?" ”
There was no objection to this, but Liu Yue'e was the first to stand up and say, "I propose that Miss Xiao be the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce." ”
Today's performance of the Xiao family is obvious to all, regardless of knowledge, bearing, and will, it is much stronger than the Tao family, and the Xiao family is a generational operation, and the previous chambers of commerce are led by the Xiao family and have rich experience. The most important thing is that looking at the attitude of Lord Xu Weixu, it seems that he is also on the side of the Xiao family. In this way, the Xiao family will no longer have any worries.
As soon as Liu Yue's proposal came out, everyone immediately responded, and Xiao Yuruo became the new president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce without any suspense. She was no stranger to this position. When she was young, Mrs. Xiao was the head of this chamber of commerce, but now she is a woman inheriting the position of mother, which can be regarded as a good story.
Tao Dongcheng had already gone out for medical treatment first with Tao Wanying's support, Xu Wei glanced at the pale Yu fat man, and said, "President Yu, your Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, what do you say now?" ”
Yu Fatzi saw the Xiao family, who was still being jointly suppressed by himself and Tao Dongcheng an hour ago. In the blink of an eye, he became the head of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, on a par with himself, and this suppression is impossible to mention. At that moment, he had to say: "Congratulations to Miss Xiao for taking the Niu Er of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce." I am a colleague of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce. I will definitely support Miss Xiao and make more contributions to the prosperity of business between the two places. ”
"That's fine." Xu Wei glanced at everyone in the hall and said slowly: "I've been here in Hangzhou for a few months, but I heard that Hangzhou has been making some White Lotus Festival recently, and those demons have used some seeds to sprout and grow Buddha statues. To deceive the people and to gain believers is to bring trouble to the people. Shake the foundation of my Dahua. ”
Everyone in the hall looked confused, it was obviously a chamber of commerce, but why did this Lord Xu suddenly get involved in this festival.
Xu Wei snorted and said, "Yesterday, I went to the White Lotus Festival venue and broke the deceptive spell. After overnight censorship, it was revealed that these people were all demons of the White Lotus Sect, and what they did was to trick ordinary people into joining the White Lotus Sect. His deeds are abominable. His heart can be punished. ”
Speaking of the White Lotus Sect, the hall was suddenly silent, everyone knew what kind of goods this White Lotus Sect was, burning, killing and looting were all evil, especially the people in the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, they all knew that the Xiao family had been robbed by the White Lotus Sect, and under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, they had no good impression of the White Lotus Sect.
"Lao Yu came to Jiangnan this time, and the emperor authorized Lao Yu to act cheaply. Yesterday, the White Lotus Festival was broken, and this morning, those stubborn White Lotus disciples have been beheaded on the spot to set an example. That's why the old man came to the land a little late today, but the old man came to the land by stepping on the blood of those demons. Xu Wei's body was filled with a burst of murderous aura, and his eyes swept everyone away like lightning, and many people lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him.
"According to the bandits' confession, there are many merchants in this Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce who are also their believers, and have provided them with a lot of money support, President Yu, do you know about this?" Xu Wei said casually.
The fat man's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "My lord, the villain doesn't know." ”
Xu Wei snorted coldly and said: "The merchant confessed by the bandits, the old man has ordered someone to register and make a register, and they are all under control, and they will be investigated one by one in the next few days, and they will not be tolerated." ”
The Zhejiang merchants in the hall were all nervous, they had also heard of Lord Xu's methods, half of the emperor's strategy was from him, but it was extremely simple to clean up a few merchants.
Seeing Xu Wei bring the topic to the White Lotus Sect, Lin Wanrong suddenly understood, Damn, this old man came completely prepared. He must have known that the Tao family had something to do with the White Lotus Sect, and today he secretly helped the Xiao family and defeated Tao Dongcheng, this hand is really beautiful, I really say that this old man appreciates my talent, but it turns out that Lao Tzu is a gunman, this Xu Wenchang is an old fox who is only more cunning than Luo Min.
Xu Wei saw everyone's expressions, smiled slightly, but said slowly: "But--who is not a sage, who can be without fault?" Considering that some colleagues will make mistakes only when they are confused for a while, I will give you a chance. No matter who you are, and no matter how deep your relationship with the White Lotus is, as long as you explain the problem clearly to the old man at the specified time and in the specified place, and how much money you have donated to the White Lotus Sect, you will hand it over to the treasury twice as the money to atone for your sins, and the old man will promise that he will not be responsible for the past, and he will keep it secret for you, so that you can continue to do business with peace of mind. ”
Lin Wanrong Khan, this old man really has a hand, even bluffing and deceit, coercion and temptation, these business people are all smart, but how can they be compared with a veteran of officialdom like Xu Wei, he will definitely be eaten to death by him. said that Xu Wei had the list in his hands, Lin Wanrong absolutely didn't believe it, how could he confess such important information when he caught those shrimp soldiers and crab generals yesterday, this old man was playing psychological warfare.
"Within three days, I will be in the Yamen of Hangzhou Futai, waiting for your arrival." Xu Wei said slowly: "But if someone dares to be lucky-" A trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "When the sword and axe are added, don't blame the old man for being ruthless." ”
The chambers of commerce in these two places ended in a fight, a competition, and a threat, and if it was lively, the annual meeting of any year could not catch up with one-tenth of this year. To say frightened. No year's land is as good as this year's one percent, especially for those businessmen who have ghosts in their hearts.
The others were almost gone, leaving only Lin San, the eldest lady and Xu Wei. Xu Wei smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't panic and leave." Tell me how to wash your hands in this oil pot, the old man is curious. ”
Fang Cai, the court with the power of life and death, the curious little old man in front of him, this Xu Wei, is really a strange person. The eldest lady was also full of curiosity and said, "Lin San, tell me about it." ”
Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "This method is worthless, but you have to keep it secret for me, and maybe you will use it again in the future." ”
Xu Wei said with a smile: "This oil pot will definitely grow the same as the stone statue." It's a trick in the middle. It's just a clever method, but the old man can't think of it. ”
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Actually, this is a simple application of common sense. The trick is to add vinegar to the pan. ”
"Vinegar?" The eldest lady exclaimed: "No wonder I smell a little sour." I also said that it was from the restaurant below, but it turned out to be you, the bad guy, who was making trouble. ”
Xu Wei said anxiously: "What's the use of vinegar?" Brother Lin, please go on. ”
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "When I go down to look for oil, I first mix the aged vinegar and oil into the pot, because the specific gravity of vinegar is greater than that of oil. The vinegar sinks to the bottom of the pan and the oil floats on it. In this way, everyone can see that the ground and Lord Xu scoop up oil, but they can't see vinegar. ”
Xu Wei smiled: "I didn't expect there to be a trick here." But I fell for you. So what's next? ”
"The vinegar is heated and quickly vaporized, and the gas is transmitted through the oil layer and rises upward, so that the surface of the oil forms a boiling shape like boiling away, accompanied by bursts of green smoke rising, which is very bluffing, but in fact, because there is still vinegar between the oil and the fire, the temperature of the oil rises, and the vinegar can only be relied on to transmit the heat. So it doesn't boil so quickly, and what we see is just bubbles, and the oil isn't hot at all. Therefore, when the eldest lady reached out to the oil pan to take the copper plate, everyone believed what they saw with their own eyes, thinking that the eldest lady would be injured, but in fact, it was a trick, in fact, the oil on the vinegar layer was just warm. ”
"I see." Xu Wei said: "But what is the use of you adding that scale?" ”
Of course, Lin Wanrong couldn't explain to them that it was calcium carbonate that met acetic acid and reacted chemically to produce carbon dioxide, so he could only say briefly: "The scale sinks to the bottom, and when it encounters vinegar, it will react and bubble, so that the oil pan you see is hot, but it is also more realistic." ”
The eldest lady said: "Then why did I go to get money and have nothing to do, but Tao Gongzi was seriously injured?" This is also what Xu Wei doubts in his heart.
Lin Wanrong said: "This is a matter of timing. Put an appropriate amount of vinegar in the oil pan, not too little, to ensure that the vinegar vaporizes and evaporates after being slightly heated. When the oil layer in the oil pot is tumbling and the green smoke is rising, there is actually not much vinegar left at the bottom of the pot, and the oil in the pot is not too hot. Of course, there should not be too much vinegar, too much vinegar is not easy to vaporize, and the temperature of the vinegar after vaporization is also very high, and it is also very easy to be burned. ”
"Lin San, in this way, you must have deceived a lot of people with this method before, otherwise how could you be accurate?" The eldest lady pouted.
Lin Wanrong smiled: "I'm not lying, there is another method here, and it is actually the easiest way." The amount of scale is small, "after a burst of bubbles, it has been used up, and the remaining bubbles are vaporized by vinegar." Therefore, I have to keep staring at the oil pan to see if there are still bubbles coming out of it, if there are no bubbles coming out, it means that the vinegar has been completely vaporized, and the oil temperature will come up quickly, and the oil at that time is really boiling. ”
The eldest lady clapped her hands and said, "I understand." When I took the coin, it was when the bubbles were at their thickest, that is, the vinegar had just begun to vaporize, and the temperature was just low, so I could take it out quickly. And when Tao Gongzi stretched out his hand later, the bubbles were gone, that is, the old vinegar had completely evaporated, but the oil pot was really hot, and he would be injured. ”
Lin Wanrong stretched out her thumb and said, "The eldest lady is so smart. ”
"Nasty." The eldest lady blushed and said softly.
"Brother Lin, you deliberately let Tao Dongcheng catch it first in advance, but it was a way to capture it, and you concluded that he didn't dare to catch it first." Xu Wei sighed: "The little brother is young, but he has a deep grasp of this human nature." ”
"Where, where," Lin Wanrong smiled cheekily: "Where am I as insidious as an adult?" If he really catches it, then he will catch it, and I will urge the eldest lady to catch it while the bubble is not finished, and it will be a big deal for everyone to draw. ”
The eldest lady smiled lightly: "You, if you go to the White Lotus Cult, you will definitely be a barefoot immortal, what is not good to learn, and you will learn from that magic stick." ”
When it came to the magic stick, she glanced at Lin San, her face was blushing, and her expression was extremely moving.
