"I'm going to go to Su Xinzhai and re-investigate the crime scene, Xiaoyu, you are familiar with the environment there, come with me."

"Okay." Wen Xiaoyu nodded and agreed.

"What about Lao Fan, you haven't come back after going for so long?" Meng Yan asked Tang with a smile.

"Lao Fan went home, I heard that the child was a little uncomfortable, and it was almost the New Year, so I didn't take care of the things in this family."

"Well, this is my negligence, the brothers who have a family and a family all go back, and everyone will be given an extra three taels of silver to subsidize, and those who stay will be full of wine and food!"

"Thank you, sir!" Tang Xiao and the others were happy.

"Childe, what about me?" Lin Tianxing asked timidly.

"You're my henchman, can I still starve you?" Meng Yan scolded with a smile.

"My lord, do you know that I am in the capital with my uncle and aunt, so I will also stay and celebrate the New Year with you?" Don laughed.

"You, it's better to go back and celebrate the New Year with your uncle, don't let your uncle mistakenly think that I kidnapped you!"

"It's okay, uncle, he knows I don't like to be with them!" Tang Xiao said nonchalantly.

"Then you have to go back and bring some New Year's goods to your uncle, shouldn't your nephew be filial?" Meng Yan said with a very face.

"Okay, I'll go back early tomorrow morning, and then come back?" Tang Xiao nodded.

"Lao Cai, Shen Cong, I'll leave it to you at home, I'll go to Su Xinzhai with Tianxing and Xiaoyu in the afternoon!" Meng Yan Road.

"Son, are you in too much of a hurry?"

"I don't want to be in a hurry, but the Holy One only gave me a month. I have time now, and when it comes to the first month, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time at all! Meng Yan also wanted to take his time, but this matter really couldn't be delayed, so he could solve it a day earlier and rest assured.

"There are only three of you coming, there are too few people, do you want to call two more?" Cai Jindao.

"No need, it's enough for the three of us!" Meng Yan shook his head and said.

"Okay, I'll get ready for the car!"

After eating. Meng Yan and Wen Xiaoyu both changed into smart clothes. Lin Tianxing drove and came towards Su Xinzhai.

Since Bai Suxin was arrested and imprisoned, Su Xinzhai has been seized by the official uniform, and the belongings inside have been almost moved.

These belongings eventually fell into the hands of the Jiao siblings.

Of course. If Bai Suxin is judged to be wronged. The Bai sisters and brothers want to return these goods to Bai Suxin.

According to Bai Xinyuan's will. Su Xin Zhai is owned by Bai Su Xin.

"This is Su Xinzhai?" Meng Yan stepped down from the carriage and was a little surprised, wasn't this next to the back wall of the Songhe Tower?

But. There's a small alley in between.

Songhelou is going to expand, and this Suxinzhai is also among them, it seems that intervening in Bai Suxin's case, Wen Xiaoyu is also mixed with a trace of his own selfishness.

It's nothing, helping others and achieving their own goals at the same time, which is not contrary to the original intention of being a human being.

What's more, the purpose of Wen Xiaoyu's relationship with Bai Suxin was not this.

Being a man is worthy of one's heart, and that's enough.

"A good location, even if it is not a shop, this land is worth a lot of silver." Meng Yan nodded in praise.

"There are a lot of people who like this place, many of them are powerful people in the dynasty, but because Bai Suxin's case is not understood, this place has always been seized by the Criminal Department, and it is not allowed to be bought and sold or rented!" Smell the light rain road.

"As long as Bai Suxin dies, the shop and the land will be awarded to the Jiao sisters and brothers to inherit, and when the time comes, whether they keep it or sell it will be up to them!" Meng Yan nodded.

It's been more than a year, and the seals affixed by the Criminal Department and Dongchang are still there, but the black letters on them have faded under the wind and rain.

"Son, why is there no one to guard it?"

"It's been more than a year since the case, and you look at the windows and doors because no one is taking care of them, and they're all leaking everywhere, so you're willing to stay here?" Meng Yan Road.

"That's what I said, if I want to stay here alone every day, I have to suffocate me!" Lin Tianxing nodded.

"Tianxing, open the door." Meng Yan commanded.

"Yes!" Lin Tian walked up the steps, and with a gentle push, he heard a "creak", and the door fell backwards!

There was a pop, and a puff of dust poured up.

"Son, I ...... this door"

Meng Yan, who had eaten a gray nose, waved his hand: "I know, it's not your fault, go in." ”

When the dust dispersed slightly, Meng Yan heard that Xiaoyu stepped in from the outside, a year ago, this place was still full of customers, and a year later, this place was already dilapidated.

"Husband, this is the counter, and Su Xin's sister is standing in this position to greet guests...... Wen Xiaoyu explained to Meng Yan as she walked into Su Xinzhai.

"This is the cash cabinet, and the money for finding customers is given from here, and the money is collected here." Wen Xiaoyu pulled gently, the drawer was empty, and the inside was already empty.

"Xiaoyu, take us to the scene of the crime." Meng Yan commanded.

"Go over here, up the small building in the back!" Wen Xiaoyu has been to Suxinzhai, and more than once, he is very familiar with the environment here.

After entering, there is a large patio, hundreds of square meters, and four large vats are placed in the four corners of the courtyard, which were originally used to store water and prevent fires.

Because of the snow, the yard is full of snow, which is half a person high, but fortunately there is no need to go through it directly, there are two corridors on each side!

"This kitchen here, the pastry making workshop there, at the most, there are twenty workers hired here!"

"So many people?"

"These people just make pastries, and the recipe and ingredients of the filling are in charge of Bai Suxin himself." Wen Xiaoyu explained.

"Can't you infer the recipe for a pastry from the filling?" Meng Yan asked.

"It's not that you can't, but the order and amount of each ingredient is different, the taste will be different, and there is also the mastery of the heat, which will change every season." Wen Xiaoyu said, "The same kind of pastry, there are changes in taste every season, so that customers can keep coming to buy!" ”

"Really, so exquisite?"

"The concubine in the palace has a mouth in her mouth. All the pastries here are made according to the requirements of the palace, but they are bought at the price of civilians. ”

"So much exquisiteness, how can Su Xinzhai make money?"

"Ingredients and small profits are quick turnover!" Wen Xiaoyu said, "If it is to make pastries for the concubines in the palace, then ordinary ingredients will definitely not work, but for the general public, there is not so much exquisiteness. Every day there are many guests. In addition to pastries, they also have other dry goods and preserved fruits for sale, which are of high quality and fair price. The daily sales volume is four to five times that of the same store! ”

"I see. In fact, Su Xinzhai's pastries do not make money. Or is it not much money that is being made, and what is really making money is something else? ”

"Yes, my husband is really smart!" Wen Xiaoyu gave a thumbs up.

This Bai Suxin father and daughter are really powerful. Actually proficient in the way of management, after making a reputation with quality pastries, small profits but quick turnover, even if his secret method was stolen by someone to learn the past, if you want to use it to make a lot of money, you can't do it, and finally have to cut corners, when the time comes, the quality is still not as good as Su Xin Zhai, and the guests will choose Su Xin Zhai.

After the name of the Su Xinzhai brand was removed, he bought other things, as long as the quality was not bad and the price was fair, he would definitely sell better than others.

Because the guests already trust you for this brand!

Pastry is the fist product of Su Xinzhai, it has defeated everyone else, invincible, as long as there are guests here, there is no worry that they will not buy other items, even if they don't buy, it has earned a popularity!

If on this basis, continue to innovate, it will be difficult for Su Xinzhai's business to not be popular.

However, from this point of view, it is not surprising that Wen Xiaoyu can become friends with Bai Suxin, they have a common language, and they are not competitors, so it is natural for them to become close friends in the boudoir.

Meng Yan is already thinking about whether to reshape the brand and diversify after buying Su Xinzhai.

"Childe, it's here!" Lin Tianxing, who was opening the road in front, suddenly stopped.

The stairs were covered with a thick layer of ash, and stepping on them not only left deep footprints, but also made a strange "crunch" sound.

"Who are you, do you know that this place has been confiscated?" Suddenly, there was a broken cry behind him.

Meng Yan turned his head to see that at the staircase, several Dongchang fanzi wearing brown cotton robes, pointed hats, and white leather boots appeared behind the three of them.

Turning around, because Meng Yan was wearing civilian clothes, the fans of Dongchang didn't recognize him, and his tone became more and more harsh!

"You kid is so bold, didn't you hear our captain ask you?"

"Bold, do you know who the person in front of you is?" Lin Tianxing stepped forward and stopped in front of Meng Yan.

"Boy, this Su Xinzhai has been banned by the Criminal Department and Dongchang, you trespass on the forbidden place, we will take you to Dongchang to ask for the crime!" The head of the stall snorted coldly.

"I see which of you dares!" Lin Tianxing showed the waist card of the Beijing patrol envoy Yamen inspection!

"A small inspection, dare to be presumptuous in front of us, left and right, take it down for me, and let your officials come to ransom people!"

"I am his officer!" Meng Yan said coldly, Bai Suxin's case has been handed over to the Beijing Inspector Yamen, according to the rules, the ban and custody of Su Xinzhai at the scene of the crime should also be taken over by the Inspector Yamen, and the East Factory is obliged to take care of it at most, but the other party sees the waist card of the inspector Yamen Inspection, and he still wants to take people, so he will be looking for trouble!

"You, little white face, I now suspect that you are pretending to be a patrol inspector in an attempt to destroy the evidence at the scene, left and right, take it down!"

"Yes!"

Several fans had already withdrawn from the chains that locked the people and rushed forward, ready to take the people.

"Presumptuous!" Meng Yan threw a token in his hand and smashed it on the face of the head of the stall, "Open your dog's eyes wide, who is this official?" ”

The stall head of the East Factory was in pain, and caught the token, and when he saw the words on it, he was immediately frightened.

"The brocade cloth is the treasurer of the hundred households, Meng Yan!"

"The villain doesn't know that it's Lord Meng of Jinyiwei, please forgive me!" The head of the stall hurriedly knelt down, who doesn't know Meng Yan's murderous Dongchang people, how many people are planted in his hands?

"This place has been taken over by the inspector Yamen, read that you don't know the identity of this official, and those who don't know are not guilty, quit!" Meng Yan was unwilling to embarrass these small characters, and he lost his identity by scheming with these people.

"Yes, Lord Meng, the villain will retire!" The head of the Dongchang stall breathed a sigh of relief, and led his subordinates to quickly withdraw from Su Xinzhai!

"Wait a minute!"

"What else does Lord Meng command?"

"I'm tired of you staying outside the gate of Suxinzhai, no one is allowed to come in without the order of the official!" Meng Yan commanded lightly.

The head of the Dongchang stall had a bitter face, very embarrassed, he wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to refuse.

"Why, don't you want to help the official with such a small favor?"

"No, no, the villain is willing!" The head of the stall only agreed to come down. (To be continued......)
