Qi Niang looked at the fireworks in the sky, and knew that she had succeeded, and said with a smile: "It seems that the master is going to break the bill again, and the people of the government have already taken people down in one fell swoop." ”

Lin Mei smiled lightly: "Money is something outside the body, you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, you can still earn it if you don't have it, if you don't have it, you won't be happy if you make more money." ”

Qi Niang lowered her head and thought about it, it made sense, but as a killer, she would have looked down on life and death, and if she didn't accept it, she would do it, and she would do everything she could to achieve her goal, as for the life and death of others, it seemed that she had become numb.

"Let's go, let the news out, especially the people in the gambling house, the wicked have the wicked to grind, don't dirty our hands." Lin Mei took the tea set and said with the basket.

The spring breeze in March is slightly cool, many new shoots have emerged on the toon tree, and there is a faint smell of toon floating in the air, which makes people feel refreshed.

As soon as I entered the city, the bustling crowd was accompanied by the sound of people, and it was also lively.

Lin Mei sat in the carriage and watched that Qin San was escorted into the yamen by the people of the government, and then he was beaten back to the palace.

"Wronged, I am wronged, what does the matter of the Zheng family have to do with one of my shopkeepers?"

This familiar voice attracted Lin Mei's attention, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw a man dragging the two messengers out of the yamen.

Qi Niang looked at it, "Isn't that the shopkeeper of Longcui Pavilion?" ”

Lin Mei then remembered that when Qianweilou encouraged other restaurants to challenge Hongxinglou, she had a one-sided relationship, and she had a good impression of him at that time. I wanted Tong Dacai to find a way to hand over the olive branch, but Tong Dacai replied that the shopkeeper Bian was like evaporating from the world, and he couldn't find anyone for a while, and it seemed that the Zheng family didn't plan to let it go, but he became a scapegoat and was arrested and put in prison.

"Find someone to check, what happened to Shopkeeper Bian? Isn't everything in Longcui Pavilion over? ”

Qi Niang glanced out the window and replied, "No." ”

Luoyang said that it was not big, it was not small, and the news that Qin San, the manager of Manjinglou, pretended to be a bandit and killed people and oversold goods, spread within a day, and the owner of Manjinglou was also passed on by the government several times.

Before the matter was clarified, the storyteller on the street had already taken the lead in revealing what Qin San had done, as well as harboring Jiang Shangfei, the head of the bandits, and threatening him to do some ugly things, and finally the matter of wanting to use the Du family to design the Zheng Lin family also broke out.

The head of the gambling house rushed into Qin San's house with a group of people and horses, and searched the house inside and out, because of the huge amount of money owed, Qin San's wife and children were not spared, and they were arrested to pay off the debt.

Qin San was also uncomfortable in prison, and his body and mind were greatly devastated, especially after the Zheng family knew that everything was behind his back, they added fuel to the fire, and specially greeted the acquaintances of the official mansion, and they must "take care" of Qin San well. Within five days, I heard that he was dead in prison.

As soon as Qin San's matter was over, Lin Mei accelerated the process of opening a branch, and near the Manjinglou in the West Market, she bought the house with a garden in Sanjin, which was adjacent to the two squares, and asked someone to rebuild it, connected the two houses, rearranged it, and built a high platform in the garden, thinking that she would invite the opera troupe to sing Nanqu every other day, and it would open for business on the first day of the fifth month.

As soon as the plaque of "the world's first chef" given by the Queen Mother was hung out, the business of Hongxing Building in the West Market was full of friends, and it robbed most of the customers of Manjinglou.

Lin Mei was also worried that someone would come to the door to kick the hall, so she changed the place to the red apricot building in the West Market, but the first person she didn't want to usher in was Mr. Bai.

Lin Mei smiled lightly and had an elegant demeanor: "Mr. Bai is a distinguished guest, our Hongxing Building is really fortunate to have three lives." ”

During the competition in Luoyang, Mr. Bai had a good impression of her, and because the purpose of coming here was to be a lobbyist for others, his attitude was more kind, and he said with a smile: "The lady of the Lin family is everyone's demeanor, and her cooking skills are even more extraordinary, exquisite and profound. ”

Lin Meixi smiled, didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Mr. Mengbai can afford it, Lin Meiding will work hard to study the recipes and create more delicacies." It's just that I don't know why Mr. Bai is looking for me? ”

Mr. Bai didn't know how to speak, seeing that she was straight to the point, she was very open-minded, and she had a little more good feelings, "I think I used to call myself a Qingliu person, but I inevitably wanted to be a layman. ”

"Knowing the world but not vulgar, Mr. Bai was unwilling to bend his waist for five buckets of rice and resigned and hidden, and since then he has been faint and the city, such a high wind and bright festival is really amazing! Mr. Bai said that it didn't matter, Lin Mei was a layman. ”

These words made Mr. Bai suddenly look at her with admiration, and his heart was moved, but he secretly sighed that there were no children and grandchildren of the right age in the family, otherwise he really wanted to show his old face and ask her to marry back.

"These words of the lady of the Lin family, if it is a man's body, the old man really wants to harvest apprentices, and he will be the pillar of the country in time. Let's open the skylight and tell the truth, I came to the door for the Fu family this time, the Fu family originally wanted to ask the Lin family lady, but because the Lin family lady was too popular, I was afraid that you would misunderstand, so I wanted to marry the second miss of the Lin family and the sixth child of the Fu family. ”

"Fu family? But the owner of Manjinglou, the Fu family of the richest man in Jinling? Lin Mei was surprised, she still thought about waiting for them to come to the gym to kick the gym, but she didn't expect to ask for a match.

"Exactly."

"Don't hide it from Bai Lao, although I, Lin Mei, am a businessman, and I also pay attention to harmony and wealth, I never wanted to use the marriage of my younger brothers and sisters as a bargaining chip to make money. The sage said: A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. If you follow the way of the Fu family, I am afraid that no matter how many brothers and sisters there are in the family, it will not be enough. Lin Mei sighed helplessly.

Mr. Bai is actually not very optimistic about this matter, but it is not good for him to save face, so he deliberately went to talk about it.

"The old man is just passing on a word, the lady of the Lin family thinks this matter is inappropriate, then forget it, I will reply truthfully." Mr. Bai was also free and easy, and when he saw that she didn't even frown, he refused politely, and even felt that he was misjudging people.

Lin Mei saw that the opportunity was rare, if it was a weekday, I was afraid that I would not be able to invite it, and I sincerely wanted to ask for advice: "Let Mr. Bai bother, I heard that Mr. still likes to drink tea, Lin Mei is not talented, I learned some tea-making skills a few days ago, if Bai Lao does not dislike it, he will drink a cup and then leave." ”

"Then dare to be kind, I'm afraid the craftsmanship of the Lin family lady is extraordinary." When Mr. Bai heard that there were good things, he naturally stayed happy for a while.

Lin Mei smiled slightly, took the tea set, and washed the newly made tea leaves a few days ago with boiling water, and then brewed them.

Mr. Bai was overjoyed, holding the tea cup with great anticipation, taking a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the tea was fragrant, and couldn't help but read: "Bai distinguishes sour, salty, sweet and bitter, and his nose distinguishes fragrant and fishy." This tea is mellow and fragrant, although I don't know its name, it can be like a single plum, its unique taste is to make the limbs unspeakably relaxed and happy, good tea, really good tea. ”

"I can enter the eyes of Bai Lao, even if I don't learn this tea in vain, I don't hide it from Bai Lao, I have been thinking about getting a tea house, but unfortunately I can't find a suitable tea master, so I want to make it myself. And because there is no teacher to guide me, I can only ponder at home, and I don't know if this tea can be loved by others, and now Bai Lao's words have given me great encouragement from Lin Mei. "Lin Mei is a beginner, and she can get the praise of the legendary Bai Lao, full of joy, it seems that once this tea is put into the market in the future, it still has a great future.
