Lin Xi looked at Zhuo Minghe.

I hadn't seen him for a few days, his face was pale and haggard, and he still looked a little embarrassed, but he was still in good spirits.

After listening to Zhao Dequan, um

He stepped forward excitedly and said, "Miss Lin, I finally found you!" ”

Lin Xiyan froze: "Looking for me?" ”

Zhuo Minghe nodded, "Yes, didn't I promise you to sell you all the goods I brought!" ”

Lin Xi was dumbfounded: "Do you still remember?" ”

"Of course!" Zhuo Minghe said solemnly: "The grace of dripping water should still be reciprocated by the spring, not to mention, you helped me a lot when I was in Haixian." County Lieutenant Chen told me that I could get out of prison unharmed, brother; It's even more because your father-in-law helped me clear my suspicions. I have to repay such a great kindness! ”

Lin Xi said: "Did you misunderstand? My father-in-law and I left the yamen that night and went back to sleep for one night, and left the next day, where did I get the time to help you? ”

Zhuo Minghe said firmly: "I must have helped." What County Lieutenant Chen said, how could it be false? ”

After the words fell, Zhuo Minghe suddenly looked behind Lin Xi, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Brother Shen, thank you for your great kindness!" ”

Lin Xi turned around and saw Shen Chen walking out.

She inquired with her eyes.

Shen Chen looked at Zhuo Minghe, looked away after a while, and said lightly: "I went to the yamen again later and said something to Chen Yunhe. Probably unintentionally helped him. ”

Zhuo Minghe looked grateful: "It's unintentional for Brother Shen, but it's a life-saving grace for you." Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to have a different ......."

Thinking of something, he glanced at Zhao Dequan, swallowed his words back cautiously, and said, "In short, I must repay you." Fortunately, Chen County Wei Renyi told me that you are in this county, and I inquired many times and learned that you live in Chenyang Village. It is also thanks to this kind-hearted person who took me a ride. ”

"It's nothing." Zhao Dequan waved his hand.

Lin Xixin said that fate is really wonderful.

Since Zhuo Minghe was released without incident, she naturally couldn't let go of Zhuo Minghe's channel.

Lin Xi asked Shen Chen to bring the four treasures in, and then said to Zhao Dequan first: "Zhao Zhangshi, are you here to get the hot pot ingredients?" ”

"Exactly."

"Then you wait a minute, I'll ask my husband to get it for you."

Lin Xi called Shen Chen, and soon Shen Chen came out with a big bag of hot pot ingredients.

Zhao Dequan asked the little maid to pick it up and said, "Miss Lin, seeing that you are going to talk about business, Zhao will leave first." ”

Lin Xi nodded, waited for Zhao Dequan to leave, turned around and asked Zhuo Minghe to go in.

Shen Chen had already made tea, Lin Xi took Zhuo Minghe to sit down under the shed, and said, "The family is simple, and I hope Brother Zhuo won't dislike it." ”

"Where, Miss Lin, you are already very happy to entertain me like this." Zhuo Minghe looked at Shen Chen, who went back to continue to be a maza, and wondered: "Isn't Brother Shen coming to talk together?" ”

Shen Chen didn't raise his head and said: "Everything in my family is in charge of the lady, and so is the business." ”

Zhuo Minghe looked surprised and said: "I see, Miss Lin's women don't let her eyebrows go, which is really admirable." ”

Lin Xi smiled, "Brother Zhuo, I don't know where your goods are?" What's there and how much does it cost? ”

Zhuo Minghe had already prepared, took out a notebook from his sleeve, and pushed it in front of Lin Xi, "Miss Lin, please look, I've recorded everything." ”

Lin Xi was satisfied, and opened it to take a closer look.

Zhuo Minghe wrote in great detail and was easy to understand, Lin Xi quickly finished reading it, and said, "These goods are all I need, I want them all." ”

Zhuo Minghe said: "I rented a house in the county, and the goods are all in it. If Miss Lin is free in the past two days, she can move with someone. ”

"It couldn't be better." The conversation went so smoothly, Lin Xi was very happy, and his voice changed: "Last time, I also said that I wanted to do another business with Brother Zhuo, I wonder if Brother Zhuo is interested?" ”

Zhuo Minghe: "What business?" ”

Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "Brother Zhuo, why don't you stay for a meal at noon?" After eating, Brother Zhuo understood. ”

Zhuo Minghe was puzzled, the other person was indeed hungry, so he didn't refuse.

Lin Xi asked him to sit down for a while, and immediately got up and went into the stove room to prepare the hot pot.

After a while, Shen Chen also came in and worked with Lin Xi.

"You go out, the guests need you to accompany them."

"It's okay, Erbao is here, Zhuo Minghe is playing with them. But he came suddenly, and you will be tired of making hot pot alone. Shen Chen said.

With Shen Chen's help, Lin Xi quickly got it done, and Shen Chen took the pot out to make a charcoal fire first.

Zhuo Minghe had never seen hot pot, so he asked curiously: "Brother Shen, dare to ask what this is?" ”

Shen Chen didn't speak, and Erbao naturally said, "This is a hot pot, haven't you eaten it?" ”

Zhuo Minghe was stunned, and then said in surprise: "Is it the hot pot in Keyunlou in the county?" ”

Thinking of what Lin Xi and Zhao Dequan said before, he was even more surprised: "Could it be that this hot pot was actually made by you?" ”

Only then did Shen Chen speak: "My lady made it." ”

Zhuo Minghe seemed to understand something, and he began to sit still.

It wasn't until he saw Lin Xi take out a piece of something, put it into the pot, add water, and the fragrance gradually wafted out, Zhuo Ming Hefu said in his heart: "Miss Lin, is the key to this hot pot what you put just now?" Is it the business you want to do with me? ”

Lin Xi put the shabu-shabu away one by one and asked Shen Chen and the children to wash their hands and eat.

Of course, Shen Chen ate the two dishes she had fried before, and he couldn't eat spicy food now.

Lin Xi said: "Brother Zhuo is smart, exactly. As the saying goes, it's better to see than to hear, and it's better to try it yourself. Brother Zhuo might as well try it himself, and let's talk about business again. ”

Zhuo Minghe nodded again and again, full of anticipation.

The facts also lived up to his expectations, the taste of the hot pot was amazing and top-notch, and Zhuo Minghe couldn't stop eating.

Lin Xi glared at Shen Chen, who was trying to eat spicy food quietly, before turning his head to Zhuo Minghe and saying, "I didn't expect Brother Zhuo to be able to eat spicy food, but many people can't." ”

Zhuo Minghe smiled coolly: "Don't hide it from Miss Lin, I am a northerner, and most of the northerners have heavy tastes. ”

Shen Chen's hand was stunned.

Zhuo Minghe continued to say excitedly: "Miss Lin, this will definitely be a good business!" It's cold in the north, and this hot pot can warm up after eating, and our people over there will definitely like it. ”

Lin Xi laughed: "That's good." Since Brother Zhuo is willing to do this business with me, let's talk about it formally when we finish eating later. ”

Zhuo Minghe nodded his head, looking like he really liked hot pot.

Lin Xi became more and more relieved, and only cleaned up the table after eating, and took the opportunity to pull Shen Chen to the stove room, and said, "I was busy before, and I forgot to ask." Shen Chen, have you found a place to find red peppers? ”

Shen Chen looked out quietly and said, "I've found it." ”

"Where?" Lin Xi asked happily.

Shen Chen: "Huming Mountain." ”

Lin Xi was surprised: "Can you plant it in the mountains??" ”

Shen Chen explained: "You are not familiar with Huming Mountain, there is a small area in the mountain, and the terrain conditions there are suitable for planting. I'll take you another day. ”
