Chapter 358: The Noodle Shop
Lan Yi, who was originally contemplative, couldn't help but smile when she heard Lin Yuan's awkward name, "It looks okay, more you have to get detailed accounts to know, let's discuss the next step when we meet at the end of this month." ”
Wang Linyuan nodded, "Well, my sister-in-law said that you have to use input and expenditure to speak, and you can't just look at it with your eyes." ”
Wang Linyuan has been learning to do business with Lan Yi for a long time, and subtly he also has the ability and rigorous spirit that many senior managers should have, which makes Lan Yi very satisfied.
"The third brother is right," Lan Yi nodded approvingly, "In addition to accounting, you also have to pay attention to our sales situation, which goods sell quickly, which goods are easy to backlog, etc., and talk to the guys more to understand their thoughts...... Of course, these are not necessarily for you to do in person, the two deputy stewards around you, I can use them just by looking at them...... Okay, I'm not going to be verbose, you've done a good job. ”
"Thank you sister-in-law for your teachings," Lin Yuan carefully recorded, his admiration and gratitude to his sister-in-law have never changed.
"Hmm. Does our firm have a merchant ship going to Meixian in the past two days? Lan Yi asked about the purpose of today's trip.
Lin Yuan nodded, "I heard from the second brother that there is a batch of fresh fruits to be transported to Meixian County tomorrow, and it is three big ships. As for whether there are any other ships, ask the steward. ”
"No need to ask, Aunt Yao plans to go back to Meixian to visit relatives, just follow the big boat back."
There are three big ships again, and the fresh fruit workshop has really shipped a lot recently, Lan Yi thought that this regular meeting should pay attention to the recent operation of the fresh fruit workshop.
It was now almost noon, and Lan Yi picked out a set of exquisite ceramic knick-knacks and a set of four treasures of the study. Let the guy wrap it up, "I don't know what Mother Sheng likes, these two Aunt Yao look good?" ”
Jia Shi looked at Lan Yi's gift with some hesitation. "Is it too expensive?"
There were only three of them in the room, and Lan Yi smiled slyly, "Aunt Yao, this is our own shop!" It's expensive to sell to others, but it's a lot cheaper for us to take it ourselves. Aunt Yao, if you have anything you like, just take it!"
Jia Shi smiled and shook his head, "You girl......"
Wen Xuan ate the small dried fruit given by the third uncle Wen Xuan, and interjected: "Grandma." Mother, let's go buy the candy man on the street, let's have one for each of us. Bring another one for my brother, okay? ”
Jia Shi naturally nodded again and again, and Lan Yi responded: "Okay." But wait, your dad said to take us to eat something delicious. We'll go back when he comes. ”
Zhou Weiji chose a clean shop and had lunch with Lan Yi and the three of them. The store is small but very clean. Seeing that Zhou Weiji brought people here, the store quickly beckoned them to sit down in a good position by the window, and pointed to the recipe on the wall for everyone to order.
"Although this shop is not big, the owner of the shop is from a big restaurant in Beijing, and his craftsmanship is excellent." Zhou Weiji pointed to the recipe written in italics on the wall and asked, "Lan Yi." Aunt Yao, what do you want to eat? ”
There are more than a dozen kinds of noodles on the menu, such as raw soft sheep noodles, tung skin noodles, big boiled noodles, dried noodles with shrimp, pig and sheep box noodles, silk chicken noodles, fish tong official noodles, salt-fried noodles, Zhai noodles, and Xiaotao noodles.
Lan Yi ordered a home-style three-knife noodle, Jia asked for tung skin noodles, and Zhou Weiji asked Wen Xuan, who was playing with sugar in his arms, "What does Wen Xuan want to eat?"
Wen Xuan was being distracted by the delicate transparent candy man at this time, and said sweetly to his father: "Daddy buys whatever the baby buys, the baby eats." ”
The shopkeeper in her forties listened to it, and said with a smile: "Oh, Zhou Bantou's son is amazing, not only does he look good, look at this little mouth is sweet!" The head of the class might as well order a river fish bun for the child, which is suitable for a child of this size. ”
Zhou Weiji nodded, "Okay." The home-style Sanchang Sandao noodles do not put coriander, and then there is a basket of noodles, a drawer of river fish buns, and a three-color crystal silk. ”
Indeed, as Zhou Weiji said, the pasta in this shop is light and delicious, which is very in line with Lan Yi's taste.
Lan Yi fed Wen Xuan first, and then ate a large bowl of noodles by herself, nodding uncontrollably. After eating, Wen Xuan was also sleepy, Zhou Weiji took him and sent Jia Shi and Wen Xuan to the grocery store to rest, and he and Lan Yi went out to see the dark river together.
The grotto at the entrance of the dark river is in the mountain north of the county seat, and Zhou Weiji led the horse to take Lan Yi over.
After leaving the city gate, Zhou Weiji took Lan Yi and rode for about half an hour to the foot of the mountain, tied the horse and began to climb the mountain.
Lan Yi looked at the rolling mountains in front of her and sighed, "Who would have thought that there would be grottoes hidden in such a quiet mountain, and I don't know how these Xiazhou people found them." ”
Zhou Weiji and the others also had doubts about this for a long time, judging from the people who caught, although they did not have local mountain people as guides, they were extremely familiar with the waterways of the grottoes. Later, the Yamen sent people to investigate, and the surrounding mountain people only knew that there was water under the grotto, but they did not pay much attention to it, let alone know where the water went.
"I don't know yet, but now that the thief has been caught, he will be able to interrogate him. Come, let's enter the mountain from here, and we will have to walk for about half an hour. Zhou Weiji was in front and took Lan Yi towards the grotto.
Lan Yi followed behind Zhou Weiji, and there was no way to go to the grotto, but after the accident, the yamen sent people over several times to check, and cut a passable mountain road with a machete, and it was not difficult to go up the mountain.
When they arrived at the water's edge under the grotto, Zhou Weiji and Lan Yi sat on the stone to rest for a while. Zhou Weiji took a water bladder, Lan Yi drank a few sips of water, looked at the mountain rocks in front of him that could still see large traces of fire, and sighed, "It's really hard to find." Fortunately, it is far away from our oil mill, otherwise it would be troublesome. ”
The oil mill is most afraid of fire, and such a fire will definitely burn all over the past, and there will be no place to cry when the time comes.
Zhou Wei looked at Lan Yi with great amusement, "Your oil mill is by the Luohe River, don't say that the water surface of the Luohe River can't be extended, isn't there a lot of people watching the oil mill day and night." ”
Lan Yi nodded, "Yes, the place in the oil mill is excellent." Qingshan Oil Mill was invested by Brother Xia, and the place was well chosen. ”
Her business partners are still very reliable.
Because the imperial court said that it would seal the dark river, officers and soldiers had been sent to guard the entrance, and Zhou Weiji greeted them and took Lan Yi into the grotto.
"Watch your step"
Lan Yi followed Zhou Weiji into the dark river and was shocked by the scenery in front of him. Dark River, it's so beautiful!
Dark river, also known as "undercurrent", refers to the river below the ground, and is a type of underground karst landform. It is mostly an underground channel formed by groundwater collection, or surface water seeping into the ground along the cracks in the underground rock, through rock dissolution, collapse and water transport. This dark river has plenty of water, and you can hear the sound of rushing water as soon as you enter.
Under the light of the torches, the stalactites hanging from the roof of the cave emit colorful light, reflecting the cave like a fairy tale. Lan Yi was shocked by the beautiful scenery and couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhou Weiji looked at her stunned appearance and smiled silently.
"This, that's so pretty!" Lan Yi touched a reddened stone on the side, "It's a pity that it can't be opened, it's better to talk to the yamen about how many months it will be open, so that everyone in our county can come and take a look, you will definitely earn a lot of money back by charging at the door!" ”
Under such a view, this little daughter-in-law of her own thought about how to make money! Ben remembered that Zhou Weiji, who was bloody and bloody, was pulled back by her, and couldn't help pinching her little nose and pulling her to the depths.
"Let's go inside, it's better to look there."
Zhou Weiji took Lan Yi to walk along the water flow to the depths, and Lan Yi, who didn't have a strong sense of direction, fainted in this beautiful scenery after a few bends, and followed Zhou Weiji into a stone room that had been artificially arranged.
This stone room is very quiet, illuminated by a lamp, with a stone table, a stone chair and a large stone bed covered with thick felt cushions to keep out the moisture.
Lan Yi looked at it and sat on the cushion, "This can't be the place where Li Jichong stays, right?" Even if you escape, you can enjoy it. ”
Zhou Weiji explained, "When I first came in to search, there were still a lot of exquisite jade ornaments here. Xiazhou is rich, they have been in Xiazhou for a long time, and they have wolf ambitions, so they naturally have a lot of good things in their hands. ”
Lan Yi nodded, looking around with wide eyes, hoping to pick up a leak, but disappointed that she didn't find anything. She unwillingly lifted the felt to check, Zhou Weiji shook his head and sighed and pulled her back, "Okay, the officers and soldiers have searched many times, and they can't miss anything." Let's go to the side and have a look, it's time to go back. ”
Lan Yi sighed, and as Zhou Weiji walked out, the stones here were no longer as beautiful as when they first entered the grotto, and Lan Yi looked around.
Suddenly, she saw a stone, stopped, and grabbed Zhou Weiji.
Zhou Weiji turned around, and Lan Yi excitedly pointed to the black and bare stone, "Weiji, look at the shape of this stone!" (To be continued.) )
