Chapter 41: The Longwei Mansion that can't be avoided
Huang County, Donglai County, Qingzhou.
After Qin Li and the others came back with the caravan, Juxianzhuang became lively.
Although the people who came back from running the business, because the kitchen was too busy in the past two days, they had not eaten the celebration banquet promised by Lin Lin, but they were already very happy.
Because Lin Lin not only fulfilled Lin You's promise at that time, but even raised the standard, and issued a total of 50,000 yuan more "performance rewards", which is much more than the celebration banquet......
On the kitchen side, due to the effective coordination of Qin Li and Lin You, it has also begun to slowly get on the right track, not only expanding a lot of area, but also increasing the manpower a lot.
But now there are a lot of school children doing things on top, so Lin Lin plans to recruit some more people.
Now that the sales volume of the liquor store is still on the rise, she roughly estimates that when the efficiency of the kitchen is completely raised, there will still be a profit of thousands of dollars a month in the future, and there will be some savings after deducting the daily expenses of the village.
As for the expansion of the scale that attracted the attention of Longwei Mansion, Lin Lin couldn't control it for the time being, and the stalls were all spread out, so he had to make a mistake......
However, while recruiting kitchen helpers, she also asked Qin Li to secretly recruit some guards from other places, and it happened that Qin Li was about to pull the salt cubes again to go to Jiaodong to supply, so she only needed to hand over the goods and stay in Jiaodong for a while longer.
The key is to avoid attracting the attention of Huaxia wine shops.
This idea was put forward by Ning Sheng, and Lin Lin couldn't tell anyone else about the matter of Longwei Mansion, so he had to discuss it with him who knew the situation, and his advice after listening to it was to prepare early.
Now that everything has been done, it's too late to regret it, so instead of hoping that it didn't attract the attention of the other party, it is better to prepare the way back to deal with it.
In addition to giving advice, after Ning Sheng finished chatting about this, he went to stay with him in the cave where Yu He worked, and he didn't come back for several days, and he didn't know what he had in mind......
Lin Lin didn't have time to ask about this, because store manager Fan Jie came again.
He came under the pretext that the sales of new dishes were booming, and he came to check whether the supply of the house in Juxian Village was sufficient.
Lin Lin obviously felt that Fan Jie had a lot of moves and temptations to probe the information in the village today, and while shouting in his heart that it was not good, he could only be extremely cautious......
"Manager Fan, at present, the new house in the village has been opened, you can rest assured, it is enough to cope with the needs in the future!"
Lin Lin's words were full of the meaning of letting Fan Jie leave as soon as possible.
"In this way, I can rest assured, the owner of Lin Zhuang is so smart and capable, it is really a strange woman, and it is really enviable to ask Tianxiaoyou to have your help!"
Fan Jie walked all the way to the outside of the village, and praised all the way while still looking around.
"Store Manager Fan misunderstood, this village is the property of the elder brother, and the current things in the village are all explained by the elder brother before leaving, and Lin is just implementing it on his behalf."
Lin Lin knew that he was tempting again, and she immediately explained, she was not sure whether the other party believed it or not, but it was better than admitting it directly......
"I see, I want to disturb Zhuang Shang today, I hope Lin Xiaoyou will forgive me, Fan Jie will leave now......"
Fan Jie bowed slightly, and then took his leave.
After Lin Lin returned the salute, she was finally relieved to see Fan Jie's carriage and horse slowly leaving.
However, she immediately remembered Fan Jie's performance before, so she frowned and beckoned everyone to a meeting to discuss......
Now that Fan Jie has obviously begun to pay attention to the situation in the village, it is time for everyone else to take precautions.
————
"Let people keep an eye on this village, and report to me if there is any change."
Fan Jie got into the carriage and said to the deacon of the Longwei Mansion base on the side.
"My subordinates understand! The store manager, why are you so concerned about the matter of Juxianzhuang recently, if you want to get the secret of the flour, your subordinates have a plan......"
The deacon also thought that Fan Jie wanted to obtain the new dish making process so that he could hand it over to the government in exchange for credit, so he was ready to make a plan.
"You don't know the reason for this, just do as I tell you to."
But Fan Jie didn't have the patience to listen to his strategy, and directly interrupted.
He also had the idea of cooperating with Lin Lin to earn more credit, but now it is completely different.
Because he received a secret letter from the mansion yesterday, he asked him to closely monitor Juxianzhuang's every move.
Fan Jie was very surprised, he hadn't reported the "credit" he had received from Lin Lin's cooperation recently, how could Fuzhong care so much about Juxianzhuang?
What's even more unusual is that this secret letter was sent by the Internal Affairs Institute of Longwei Mansion!
You must know that the Donglai branch of the Huaxia liquor store under Fan Jie's jurisdiction, as well as the Qingzhou base hidden on the side, are all under the management of the Fuzhong Government Council on weekdays, and the person in charge is his own clan uncle Fan Shan.
The Internal Affairs Yuan is an agency directly under the lord Ouyang Qi, and usually does not give any orders beyond the level, but once an order is issued, it means that it is a very important matter......
Therefore, Fan Jie naturally did not dare to slack off, so he personally took the opportunity to check it out today.
Of course, in addition to carrying out orders, it was also because he had a strong interest in Juxianzhuang.
Originally, Fan Jie thought it was because of Chen Wentian, maybe he was deeply appreciated when he arrived in Yizhou, and it was normal for Nafuzhong to investigate his background and monitor his family.
But at the end of the secret letter, it was mentioned that the ship Chen Wentian was on when he returned to Yangzhou was shipwrecked, and all the personnel were silent!
At the same time, Fan Jie was also asked not to inform Juxianzhuang of this news.
The shipwreck is not the first time it has happened, Fan Jie knows that since he has been shipwrecked, it is probably a life of nine deaths, but he is strange that since Chen Wentian is dead, why do he still have to monitor Juxianzhuang?
This unexplained situation was the reason why he was really interested, and it also prompted Fan Jie to have a strong desire to explore Juxianzhuang......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shanyin County, Huiji County, Yangzhou.
Just when everyone in Longwei Mansion thought that Chen Wentian was already very lucky, he sat in the inner hall of the county guard's mansion.
Originally, he thought that it would take some twists and turns to meet Nie Zhen, but he didn't expect that he just reported his name to the gatekeeper of the county guard's mansion, and after a while, he was received by the county guard.
After chatting for a while, I learned that the mansion had already sent a message asking Nie Zhen to arrange personnel to search for his whereabouts, and even sent more than ten lords and guards......
In this way, Nie Zhen has nothing to talk to Chen Wentian, and those guards Nie Zhen guessed that it was the "Tianlong Task Force" rumored in the mansion, and they would only be sent out if they were involved in major matters in the mansion.
And related matters are not something he can know and inquire about......
Therefore, after Nie Zhen learned of Chen Wentian's news, he sent someone to inform those guards, and he drank tea with the other party in the inner hall.
Chen Wentian saw Nie Zhen's cautious and silent attitude, and he didn't speak, drinking tea happily.
Nie Zhen is an important intermediary of the Longwei Mansion in the Han Dynasty, and is now committed to successfully seizing Huiji County for the Fuzhong, and by the way, clearing the local scholars. He had known about this for a long time by checking the intelligence of Longwei Mansion.
And the other party did not dare to listen and continue his details and tasks, which was also expected by him.
It seems that Ouyang Qi is still a little jealous of the future, not only did he not tell others his identity, but he was also very nervous about his disappearance.
Now that he has taken the initiative to appear, it is estimated that it should be no problem for the people from Longwei Mansion to continue to escort him back to Qingzhou.
But all the benefits I wanted before have been lost, and these things are too important for the development of the state in the future to be given up.
"It's really not good, just send a message to Ouyang Qi and ask him to send someone to send some more, at most, it's a little longer, anyway, I have to find a way to help Shang Qing ......take revenge."
Chen Wentian drank tea expressionlessly, but he kept secretly thinking about it in his heart.
