Chapter Eighty-Six: Follow the Trend

The news that Cheng Wencai was about to be transferred out of Sealand City was like a thunderclap, completely shaking the entire Sealand County.

On the streets and alleys, men, women and children, except for half-grown children, got together to do things, and the objects of small talk were all things that Cheng Wencai was transferred. Some are glad that this corrupt official is finally gone, some are indignant that this dog official made a lot of money before leaving, and some are worried about whether the new county magistrate will be more ruthless than Cheng Wencai.

Originally, Cheng Wencai's transfer was good news for Liu Chuanxiang. After all, with the arrival of the new county commander, there was hope that the idea of using official power to deal with Lin Ji Inn had been extinguished. But these days, he can't get excited.

All of this stems from underestimating the influence of Lin Kee Inn's signature dishes.

No way, after the big price cut, the business on the second floor of Fenglin Restaurant finally improved again, but after only a few days, it cooled down again. It wasn't until the price of wine and food dropped again and again that the meat of the spirit beast was almost cheaper than the Chinese cabbage, and the number of diners increased again.

But the problem is that the diners are all ordinary people in Sealand City, and although the big families also want to eat spirit animal meat as cheap as Chinese cabbage, they want to eat the stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves at Lin Ji Inn.

This means that big price reductions are useless.

"Shopkeeper, the guards who went to Autumn Wind City are back." A guy ran into the backyard.

Liu Chuanxiang's bitter gourd-like face stiffened slightly, and after carefully recalling his man's words, he suddenly bloomed like a peach blossom.

"How is it, what level of spiritual material is it?" Liu Chuanxiang asked anxiously.

"First-order spiritual materials, one or two pounds of silver."

Liu Chuanxiang's mouth suddenly opened to the point where he could stuff a fist.

After a long time, Liu Chuanxiang glared and said, "One or two pounds of silver?" Are you kidding me? Lin Ji Inn's maple leaves stewed soft-shelled turtle, I haven't tasted it, and there are at most four or five dollars of maple leaves in it. ”

"It's really a pound of silver, I've seen the maple leaves brought, and it's exactly the same as the one at Lin Ji Inn." The guy was very sure.

Liu Chuanxiang was stunned, how could this be?

Could it be that Lin Ji Inn launched this maple leaf stewed soft-shelled turtle not to fight the price?

After a brief period of consternation, Liu Chuanxiang came to his senses.

If the maple leaves are really one or two pounds, it is equal to the cost of the Lin Ji Inn, and a maple leaf stewed soft-shelled turtle sells for two taels of silver, what kind of price is this, this is a money grab! The profit of Fenglin Restaurant is already amazing, twenty times the profit, but only the main building in the capital has this kind of wine and food.

"What a Lin shopkeeper!"

Liu Chuanxiang had to admire how people did business, and the opponent desperately lowered the price and sold the spirit beast meat as cabbage. It's good that he actually sells cabbage as spirit animal meat in turn. On the contrary, it is still selling very hot.

The stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves in Lin Ji Inn is not taken out, but this does not affect Liu Chuanxiang to disguise himself to test the enemy's situation. Not to mention, after eating this stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves, I can indeed feel a lot better. If it weren't for the fact that all expenses had to be accounted for, the successive temptations were a little unreasonable, and he wanted to eat once a day.

can become the county-level shopkeeper of Fenglin Restaurant, Liu Chuanxiang naturally has some brains. He originally thought that this was because the maple leaves were caused by the medicinal effect of the fourth- and fifth-order spiritual materials, since the maple leaves were only first-order spiritual materials, the reason why they could enhance their physique was either because the stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves did have this effect, or the Lin Ji Inn had a secret recipe, and what auxiliary materials were added to it.

"Go, let the cook try." Liu Chuanxiang immediately ordered the guys on the side.

The guy nodded and trotted away.

"Hopefully there is no secret recipe!"

Liu Chuanxiang prayed secretly.

I have been waiting for more than half an hour, and the fragrant stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves was finally delivered, but after tasting it, Liu Chuanxiang was disappointed, bitter and fishy, this taste makes people want to vomit, and it can't be compared with Lin Ji Inn at all.

Holding back the nausea and eating the whole soft-shelled turtle and maple leaves into his stomach, Liu Chuanxiang became more and more disappointed, and after eating, he didn't feel anything else except for wanting to vomit.

Liu Chuanxiang sighed heavily, the stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves at Lin Ji Inn undoubtedly has a secret recipe.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chuanxiang resolutely made a decision: "Go, let the cook find a way to remove the fishy smell and bitterness as much as possible, and then give me one to sell for a hundred yuan." By the way, send someone to Autumn Wind City to find the shopkeeper Wang to inquire about who the new county commander of Xilan County is. ”

Lin Ji Inn sells two taels of silver a piece, and Fenglin Restaurant sells one for one hundred yuan, even if it does not have the medicinal effect of Lin Ji Inn, how can it be disgusting and disgusting Lin Ji Inn. dragged until the new county magistrate came to power, saying that there was no need to fight the price, and as soon as the eighteen thousand taels of silver were put in the hands of the new county magistrate, the Lin Ji Inn could be destroyed immediately.

In the evening, the news that there was also a stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves in the Fenglin Restaurant reached Lin Dong's ears, and he had no pressure on this, but just told Ma Chun to let the guys introduce the stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves, and add an extra one to add expensive rare spiritual materials.

Outside the inn, looking at the lobby that was still lively and lively at night, following Fu Chunjian, Zhou Zhengye was a little hesitant.

As long as he thinks about the possibility of seeing Lin Dong later, Zhou Zhengye will remember the scene half a year ago, Lin Dong handed the bench to himself lightly, but he didn't dare to pick it up, but a little fat man didn't hesitate to give Dou Changkun a few kicks.

People were upset and helped themselves teach Dou Changkun a lesson, but they only dared to watch.

Every time he thought about it, Zhou Zhengye felt that his face was hot and he was embarrassed.

In a trance, the guy who went to the backyard to report had come out, and the answer made Zhou Zhengye more and more flustered, the shopkeeper is invited!

"Let's go!" Fu Chunjian stroked his snow-white long beard, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Zhou Zhengye nodded and followed in a daze.

In the room, seeing Fu Chunjian coming in, Lin Dong got up and greeted him out.

"Shopkeeper Lin, fortunately, it has been done." Fu Chunjian said with a smile.

"What's the matter, Dean Fu has worked hard." Lin Dong hurriedly shook his head, and when he saw Zhou Zhengye behind him, he couldn't help but hesitate: "You are, you are ......"

Zhou Zhengye's mouth was bitter, and he still had the impression after half a year, his original unbearable situation was really impressive.

With a wry smile, Zhou Zhengye said respectfully: "Shopkeeper Lin, I am Zhou Zhengye, and you helped me during the civil and military competition half a year ago." ”

Lin Dong suddenly felt that Zhou Zhengye had a upright face and a steady and restrained demeanor, he remembered the incident of half a year ago at a glance, but he didn't think of his name for a while.

"Please come in, please come in!" Lin Dong hurriedly welcomed the two into the room, and vaguely understood in his heart that Fu Chunjian's candidate for the new county magistrate of Xilan City was Zhou Zhengye.

Waiting for Ma Chun to serve tea, he exchanged a few words with Fu Chunjian, and after learning that he would be officially demoted in half a month, Lin Dong arched his hand towards Zhou Zhengye: "Congratulations to the new official of Zhou County." ”

Zhou Zhengye's slightly dark face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Thanks to the dean and the shopkeeper Lin, otherwise, Zhengye is just a useless literati." ”

"Useless literati? When Zhou Xianling said this, he looked down on Dean Fu's eyes. Lin Dong joked.

Zhou Zhengye waved his hand in a panic.

On the side, Fu Chunjian was a little puzzled, this disciple has always been steady, why does he seem so restrained today?

Brushing his long beard, Fu Chunjian said slowly: "Zhengye, you can serve as the county magistrate of Xilan County, all because of the benevolence and righteousness of Shopkeeper Lin." If you want to get the approval of Shopkeeper Lin, tell Shopkeeper Lin today how you plan to benefit the people after taking office! ”

"No, no, I'm a little shopkeeper, how do I know how to govern places, and I told me that I was also playing the piano to the cow." Lin Dong stopped Zhou Zhengye, who was about to speak, thought about it, but asked: "Zhou County Order, when the new official takes office, there should be many big families who will bring gifts to visit, what are you going to do?" ”

"Shopkeeper Lin just calls me Zhengye!" Zhou Zhengye said with a straight face: "Shopkeeper Lin can rest assured, Zhengye can guarantee that as long as he is in the position of the county magistrate of Xilan County for a day, there will always be only the people of Xilan County in his heart, and he will never accept any bribes." ”

Really!

Lin Dong knew in his heart that although he didn't know how to be an official, he also knew that being an official in an environment where more than ninety percent of the people around him were corrupt officials, unless there was some terrible backstage, Taigang Zheng couldn't do it for long.

(Thanks to the Supreme People's Procuratorate, Zhang Liefeng, planting beans in the south of the mountain, and yi eyes for the reward of half the city, o(∩_∩)o~...... )
