Chapter 256: Someone Poisoned
"Do you think you're joking when you see the silver?"
Xu Lizheng glared at his own lady angrily, and then said to his youngest grandson:
"Go, go and inform everyone, come to my house for a meeting in the evening."
Many men are doing things on Taoxi's island at this time, and Xu Lizheng is in a hurry, but he is also measured.
Tao Xi didn't know that Xu Lizheng was walking happily with the same hands and feet, and she was cleaning up the house with Jian Shirou at this moment.
"Later, we will move all the things to Fish Maw Village, and leave it to Tao Jun to live, and the vegetables collected by the villagers every day will be put here."
She plans to vacate it for the time being, and when the house on the island is built, their family will live on the island.
As for the houses here and in Fish Maw Village, they are left to Tao and Tao Jun, one to collect fish and one to collect vegetables.
Of course, there are fruit trees here, and when you are busy with the things at hand, the house here still needs to be enlarged.
Jian Shirou nodded hurriedly, but the livestock was not easy to bring, "Sister-in-law, we still have a lot of rabbits." ”
"Well."
Tao Xi touched her chin and thought about it, and her eyes rolled and she had an idea, it just so happened that there were still a few empty in her shop.
So Xu Lizheng hadn't had a meeting yet, and she told Xu Lizheng that in addition to vegetables, rabbits were also harvested.
Well, you can spontaneously raise rabbits at home, rabbits reproduce quickly, and breeding is not troublesome.
She plans to open another restaurant, Young Master Qiu, she has already offended, and she doesn't mind one more thing that offends him.
Tao Xi and Jian Shirou didn't spend the night in Taomu Village, the two went back to Fish Maw Village overnight, and she took out a money bag and handed it to Tao Jun.
"You are in charge of the vegetables over there in Taomu Village, and Tao You is in charge of the fish and seafood here.
In addition, I put some silver on Qing Gardenia's side, not enough for you to find her at any time, and all the account books will be handed over to Qing Gardenia. ”
Tao Xi looked at Qing Yu again, "Xu Niangzi will hand over the shop's income and expenditure account book every month, and you can check it and hand it over to me." ”
Tao Xi already has a simple management model, as long as the people below do a good job, she doesn't have to be too tired.
Qing Yu and they hurriedly responded, and their eyes were solemn, Tao He and Tao Jun had already been reused.
The other four men were all envious in their eyes, and Tao Xi said with relief: "You don't have to worry too much.
In the future, there will be things left to you, and you will assist the two of them for the time being. ”
She also has a lot of things to do in the fruit trees and Xiwang Island, and none of them will be idle, and they will all be her best employees in the future.
Hearing this, several men nodded busily, although their deed of sale was in the hands of the master, but the master was benevolent, and they also had wages to help with things.
The master also said that after doing a good job, he would remove the slavery and give them freedom, so everyone was very excited.
Everything is well arranged, there are vegetables in Taomu Village, and she doesn't have to get up early to smuggle so many vegetables anymore.
As soon as she was happy, the vegetables harvested in the space at night were dried into dried vegetables, and she even took the time to expand the fish pond a lot.
Before dawn on the second day of clinker, an exclamation sounded outside, and after a while, the voice of the green gardenia sounded.
"Master, something is wrong!"
"What's going on?"
Tao Xi rubbed his worried eyes, put on his coat and looked at Qing Yu who came in in a hurry.
"What's going on?"
"Tao You said, a big bucket of fish died outside!"
Qing Yu's tone was crying, this is what is going to be used in today's shop, and one less fish can make a lot less silver.
Tao Xi paused slightly in putting on his shoes, and then quickly put them on his feet and ran out.
The fish was kept in a wooden barrel in the kitchen, and when Tao Xi went in, Tao and a big man actually cried in annoyance.
"I'm sorry owner, I'm not doing this well!"
Tao Jun's first acquaintance with the five of them also looked depressed, obviously angry.
Qing Yu pushed the person away, "Okay, let's let the owner take a look first." ”
This kind of thing is naturally not what everyone wants, but at this time, we should think about how to deal with it.
She had already lit a candle and placed it on the side of the barrel, and Tao Xi took a closer look.
It was found that only one of the fish in the barrel had turned white, and the other barrels were still fine.
But there were dozens of fish in this big barrel.
Tao He blamed himself and said to Tao Xi: "Master, it was my unfavorable business yesterday, and it was still fine when Yu Niangzi handed over the fish to me." ”
"Alright."
Tao Xi didn't get angry, but said, "You guys should send these good fish to Yun County first."
I'll have people buy some more, just a barrel of fish, and the impact won't be too great, but remember to pay attention to the reaction of these fish.
You tell the shopkeeper that if anything is wrong with the fish, stop doing business immediately. ”
There is also such a long distance from Huamaw Village to Yunxian County, if those fish will have an accident, then it should be able to see.
"Okay, host!"
Although Tao He was sad, he also understood that he could not delay the business of the owner, so he drove the ox cart to the town.
And Tao Jun took Tao Chu to Taomu Village to buy vegetables, and from tonight onwards, they slept directly on Taomu Village.
The remaining two men spontaneously went to the island to help, and when Jian Shiwu and Jian Shiyi heard the voice, they came.
Tao and they had already left, Jian Shirou looked at Tao Xi suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
"Someone poisoned the barrel."
Tao Xi brought the barrel to the yard, Qing Yu was still holding the candle, watching these fish turn their stomachs abnormally, Tao Xi squinted his eyes.
Jian Shiwu, who was irritable, had already pulled up his bow and arrow, and said with a white face:
"Who the hell did it?!!!?"
"It's too vicious."
Jian Shiyi was young and didn't know much, but he knew that these fish cost a lot of silver.
You can buy a few herb seeds, damn badass!
"Bad people who have suffered from the plague, the sky is thundering!"
Huahua patted her thighs, making everyone stunned, and they all looked over, and the corners of Tao Xi's mouth twitched.
"Huahua, who taught you this?"
"I see that the aunts in the village are all so scolding, is there anything wrong?"
Huahua's smile was sincere, she looked a little dark, and she probably didn't look very similar to her mother, so the people of Fish Maw Village didn't have any suspicions.
Huahua, who was afraid of life at the beginning, is now not so afraid of the villagers.
Seeing that she was so serious, Tao Xi couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Huahua." Not everything can be learned. ”
"Sister Huahua, this is too vulgar."
Jian Shiwu kindly reminded him, even if the words were rough, the main thing was that the action of slapping the thigh was really unbearable to look at.
Huahua scratched her head in embarrassment, "Okay, I won't talk about this next time." ”
After saying that, she frowned and looked at the dead fish in the barrel, "Who did it, it's really bad!" ”
"Gardenia."
Tao Xi instructed: "You go find something to test the poison." ”
