Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

"Shopkeeper Lu, that Zheng Chen... He..."

"What's wrong with him... You mean..."

"He asked people to go to the provincial capital hundreds of miles away to harvest green fruits, and they set off overnight last night to send them..."

"The next time I speak clearly, it scares me, it takes four or five days to go back and forth for a hundred miles, plus it takes one or two days to collect, that is, it will take seven days for them to pull the green fruits back, what are you afraid of?" Shopkeeper Lu looked very calm after hearing this, and he was not as anxious as his subordinates.

Zheng Chen had already said just now that his inventory could only make another 20,000 pieces of soap, that is, they would not have green fruits to make spices in six days, and the people he sent out could just rush back under normal circumstances.

But what if something happens? There are a lot of thieves these days, and the green fruits are so valuable now, they will definitely not let go of this opportunity, so the shopkeeper Lu is not worried at all that they can safely transport the green fruits back in the provincial capital.

For the sake of prudence, Shopkeeper Lu also planned to call those thieves and let them take down the batch of green fruits, and buy them at such a high price, so that the secret recipe would be in hand.

After Zheng Chen left the rouge shop, he made sure that no one was following, so he disguised himself, and then secretly entered the Fang Mansion to meet Fang Nengchi's father, handed him the method of making soap, and then chatted for almost an hour before leaving.

The next day, there was an extra batch of green fruits on the market, which was 10,000 catties, and the price was 25 wen a catty, so Lu Fu had to grit his teeth and eat it.

On the sixth day, Zheng Chen transported the soap to the Lu family's rouge shop, and after checking out, the Lu family placed another order of 10,000 yuan, and Zheng Chen and the Lu family completely tore their faces.

It was also on this day that the thieves let people transport 30,000 catties of green fruits, and the Lu family's family was also hollowed out at this moment, and then the Lu family received the news that the shops in several nearby towns stopped placing orders.

The Lu family is now relying on the sale of soap, more than a dozen shops stopped placing orders and made the goods backlogged, and the head of the Lu family personally came to the door and lowered the price, from the original 100 Wen to 50 Wen, and those merchants did not accept it.

Before, each of these dozen families ordered about 1,000 yuan one after another, and the amount of orders was more than one time, the Lu family actually did not have a backlog of soap, and 10,000 yuan in the previous three days could sell at least six or seven thousand, but the backlog of three or four thousand soaps, the Lu family still made a lot of money, but now more than a dozen suddenly stopped placing orders, so that the soap collected by the Lu family can only be sold by themselves, that is, about one or two hundred yuan a day, and the inventory is more than 40,000, I don't know when it will be sold, and more importantly, the Lu family is now short of money and funds.

After the news spread, those creditors came to the door, the Lu family couldn't come up with the money, and the shops and fields had been mortgaged to the money village, and in the end, the Lu family could only mortgage the old house to survive the crisis.

Of course, the Lu family is not desperate, as long as they can get the secret recipe in a few days, and then use the secret recipe as collateral, they can get a capital turnover, and then produce a large number of soaps and ship them to the provincial capital, and sell them in these big cities in Kyoto, the Lu family will not only not fall, but will be richer than before.

But on the third day, with the arrival of Zheng Chen, the Lu family's dream was shattered, and ten carriages were parked outside the Lu family's warehouse.

After the shopkeeper Lu checked that it was correct, the whole person seemed to have lost his spirit, and he sat on the ground and said to himself: "The Lu family is finished, the Lu family is finished..."

"Shopkeeper Lu, don't pretend, hurry up and settle the payment, I have to take the money back to settle the bill." Zheng Chen didn't have the slightest mercy, he just wanted to trap them before, but later the Fang family wanted to annex the Lu family.

"If you don't want the goods, you pull them back, and you won't have to supply them in the future." Shopkeeper Lu doesn't expect to get the secret recipe now, now he just wants the Lu family to be able to survive this crisis, this is basically a conspiracy against the Lu family.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, he doesn't think it will be Zheng Chen, he doesn't have that ability, the Lu family still has a glimmer of hope, the soap and green fruits in the warehouse are their last confidence, and even if the Lu family can't recover after selling these soaps and hundreds of thousands of catties of green fruits, they won't go bankrupt.

"Okay, since this is the case, the agreement will be null and void, let's go..."Zheng Chen could probably guess the idea of the shopkeeper Lu, and wanted to rely on the green fruit to turn over and dream.

Zheng Chen pulled the soap back, sold a sheep and a pig back to Zhengjia Village, and celebrated in the evening.

The next day, Zheng Chen gave the thousands of taels of silver he earned back during this time to the people of Zhengjia Village, and asked them to sell the land and record it in their names first.

A few days later, the money ran out, and dozens of households in Zhengjia Village received at least 100 acres of land each, and Zheng Chen did not let them transfer it to his name immediately, only let them pay some tenant rent every year.

The Lu family is also finished, everyone comes to buy their green fruits, and a large number of soaps appear on the market, which are only sold for sixty wen, and the soap in the Lu family's rouge shop cannot be sold.

When the creditor came to the door, the Lu family had no money to repay the debt, and in the end they could only hand over the title deed and real estate, and became nothing......

At this time, they knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was the Fang family, and dozens of people from the Lu family blocked the door of the Fang family, wanting to let the Fang family give an explanation, but the Fang family ignored them and reported directly to the official......

A few days later, a piece of news came out that the Lu family was able to have today because they offended Zheng Chen, and those green fruits were useless.

No matter what others think, anyway, those people who have benefited from Qingguozi are grateful to Zheng Chen from the bottom of their hearts, because the people of several villages near Zheng Chen have increased their income by at least five times today, which is more than the income of some people in a year.

This news was spread by Zheng Chen, in order to let more people know about it, and let these people know that this profit was because of him, so as to be grateful to him.

Zheng Chen did this because he saw that there was an extra progress bar on the stone gate in his mind, and because after the incident ended, the villagers of Zhengjia Village came to thank him, and the progress bar appeared, and it was still growing little by little.

After that, he took out a few thousand taels of silver to buy land for the people of Zhengjia Village, collected some tenant rent, and the progress bar increased a lot, so Zheng Chen let people spread the news and let more people know.

The result was obvious, the progress bar was full, confirming his guess.

Zheng Chen didn't communicate with Shimen immediately, but told his eldest brother and second brother that he was going to go on a long trip and come back after a while.

Leaving Zhengjia Village to find a remote place, and making sure that there was no one nearby, Zheng Chen began to communicate with Shimen, but his eyes were dark, and when the light appeared again, he had already returned to his rental house.
