The case is solved.

The money was indeed hidden by Lu Xiucai.

The reason is similar to what Zhan Hongya said.

After Lu Xiucai became a hero in Guanzhong, he couldn't help but show off his gold medal, and in order to maintain his reputation as a hero, he did a lot of good things with money, and spent money like water.

A hundred taels of silver is a lot.

The wages of the fellows of the Tongfu Inn for forty years.

A hundred taels of silver is very little.

If you want to repair the embankment of the Xiliang River, it is a drop in the bucket, but fortunately, Lou Zhi County is a clean official, and he did not embarrass Lu Xiucai, but simply strengthened it.

The cost is about forty taels!

Say too much, say a lot less, just to teach Lu Xiucai a lesson and let him not be too public.

At the same time, it also gave Lu Xiucai a prestige.

Don't look at Shen Lian as just a quick catcher, but the relationship behind it is extremely complicated, and there is a champion in the family, a little mention can be of great help.

Scholars are high, don't pay attention to this?

Bah!

Li Xunhuan won't believe this!

That's what a reader is best at!

Do you think those "second generations" are arrogant and domineering children who don't learn how to eat a vegetarian diet?

Miss by a mile!

The real second generation is a student of a certain Confucian, who has been seriously admitted to show off his talent and fame, is talented and talented, and his export is a chapter, and it is difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to find faults.

Unbelief?

Read Song Lian's "Sending Dongyang Horse to Life" a hundred times, and then you will understand!

Especially the title, remember to read it a thousand times!

Lou Zhixian's hard work, Shen Lian failed to understand.

Because in Shen Lian's heart, Lu Xiu is the talent of the hidden dragon in the abyss, not the pedantic sour talent.

At the age of more than forty years old, this master can become the prefect of Qingzhou, and when his term expires in three years, he will be promoted to the head of the household department, and the official is bigger than Guo Bujing!

Become a squire in your forties, become a scholar in your fifties or sixties, and stay up to seventy or eighty years old.

Li Xunhuan's eldest brother is almost like this.

What is the background of the Li family?

What is Lu Xiucai's background?

Lu Xiucai must have gotten the following scripts:

"Forty Years of Hibernation, Goldfinger Arrives"

"You can only see the plug-in after marrying a wife"

"My plug-in came a little late"

"My Goldfinger is a Late Bloomer"

"A Good Wife Help Me, Soar to the Sky"

Shen Lian was very suspicious, either Lu Xiu had a late-blooming plug-in, or Guo Furong had a Wangfu plug-in.

……

Zhan Hongyan finally left.

She's the catcher of six doors, and she's going to accomplish what she dreamed of when she was a kid.

Looking at Zhan Hongyan's back, Feng Siniang couldn't help but ask, "Can she be a good catcher?" ”

"It takes experience to catch fast."

"What about the troubles in the training process?"

"Of course, it's her teammates who clean it up for her."

"Her teammates, who's that?"

"Chasing the wind!"

Shen Lian said with a smile: "I have already passed the book on the flying pigeon, so that the chasing wind is ready, as a senior brother, I can only provide so much help, and there is nothing else I can do." ”

Feng Siniang asked curiously, "I heard that you have recently created a mysterious method?" Listen to Zuo Shi, you only need one touch to be able to knock me down. ”

Shen Lian twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this.

Thank you for the door rules.

If this martial art is spread out, Wei Qingqing will have to give himself a move of the Wind Sword and Frost Sword!

Even if it doesn't become meat sauce, you must abolish martial arts and expel them from the division, after all, this kind of martial arts ...... No matter how strange Wei Qingqing is, he is not surprised to this one!

Don't say that the decency of the Sutra Chopping Hall and the Freedom Sect, even the Yin Sect, the Heavenly Mandate Sect and other evil sects that specialize in studying these methods, have not created such wonderful methods.

"Senior sister, this martial art is very special, it is not suitable for display during the day, and it can only be used at night."

"A method dedicated to night fighting? I remember that the Storm Palm had a trick specifically used in night battles, but I didn't expect you to be able to create a similar move, it's really ......"

Shen Lian:\( T_T )/

Senior sister, don't say it.

This matter reached the master's ears, and what was waiting for me was the Storm Palm + Wind Sword and Frost Sword, if I didn't blast me into more than 19,000 pieces, I would definitely not stop!

What is the saying?

Your greatest filial piety to your teacher is that after you leave the teacher's door, don't mention the name of your teacher.

I can't afford to lose that person for the teacher!

Thanks again for the door rules.

As long as I am alive, this martial art will never be passed on, and it will always be my big secret.

……

Night!

Feng Siniang asked, "Why is it in the room?" Shouldn't it be in the wild? Hurry up, I still want to try your martial arts? Is it really that powerful? ”

Shen Lian smiled evilly: "Do you really want to try? ”

"That's still fake, I want to see what kind of mastery you have created, you can break the Nine Heavens Xuannu True Scripture!"

"Senior sister is optimistic!"

Shen Lian flicked his fingers lightly, popped out the soundproof air cover, and then his mind moved, the air cover contracted his fingertips, accompanied by muscle shock, and the air cover couldn't stop beating at his fingertips.

Feng Siniang didn't know what the mystery was, but she couldn't help but get goosebumps, she had a hunch that even if her martial arts were ten times higher, she would be knocked down by a finger.

It's not a martial arts trick!

This is a magic spell specifically designed to restrain her.

Shen Lian's fingertips touched Feng Siniang's body, Feng Siniang only felt that lightning swept through every cell, tens of thousands of thunderbolts rose in his mind, and the strength of his body suddenly dissipated.

It was an indescribable feeling.

This feeling is mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders, like thunder and lightning, like thousands of waves, Feng Siniang is the deepest part of the furious sea frenzy, drifting with the waves.

Up and down, up and down, up and down.

From far and near, galloping, the tide pushes and embraces, the sound is like thunder, thousands of horses galloping, and the waves are endless.

Feng Siniang finally understood Zuo Shi's words.

At the same time, he also understands one thing, if Shen Lian dares to leak his martial arts, Guo Bujing's Storm Palm will turn into a board, and Wei Qingqing's Wind Knife and Frost Sword will turn into thousands of steel knives, and Shen Lian on the board

- Finely cut into cheeks!

- The one without a little fat is on the top!

Anyway, the junior brother is so strong, his meat is obviously very chewy, it should be very delicious, right?

Feng Siniang couldn't help but want to taste it.

She opened her mouth and bit Shen Lian's left shoulder.

……

Opposite the Tongfu Inn, there was a Jiayi Red Building.

Generally speaking, this name is obviously Qinlou Chu Restaurant, but the one opposite is a serious restaurant.

The meals were delicious, affordable and well serviced.

In short, four words – good quality and low price!

Even Shen Lian and Feng Siniang also think that this restaurant is very good, and based on various conditions, this restaurant can be rated as first-class, and it beats Tongfu Inn.

In a short period of time, the diners of Qixia Town were accustomed to eating at the Tongfu Inn, and after half a month, most of the old customers who had come to eat here for a long time went to Yihong Mansion.

Diners eat food, restaurants sell craftsmanship, craftsmanship is not as good as people, that is the biggest flaw.

Li Dazui's cooking skills, in the big city town, can only wash vegetables and cut vegetables at most, but in Qixia Town, it is barely superior, and the taste of the dishes is not bad, the advantage is that the ingredients are very sufficient, and the disadvantage is that the dishes are very few.

No matter how delicious the dishes are, if there are only a few things back and forth, there will definitely be times when you get tired of eating.

If at this time, a restaurant with better craftsmanship, more variety, affordable prices, and good service is opened opposite, it is obvious that the business will not be saved.

In order to keep his business, Tong Xiangyu strictly ordered Li Dazui to create new dishes, the quantity does not need to be large, but it must be dishes that are not available in Yihong Mansion opposite.

Li Dazui studied hard for more than half a month, and finally confirmed one thing - he couldn't do it!

If you can't do it, you have to do it!

Under Bai Zhantang's suggestion, Li Dazui made a table of shocking dishes and invited everyone to taste them.

Shen Lian was also invited.

Of course, Shen Lian would definitely not eat it.

The dishes made by Li Dazui can only be eaten by another Li Dazui, and it is difficult for normal people to swallow it.

"First of all, cold dishes, spicy fish scales!"

When I opened the large bowl covered with plates, I was exposed to a plate of brightly colored dishes, and I didn't wait to pick it up, but I could feel the fishy smell just by seeing the appearance of the fish scales.

In fact, fish scales are edible, but it's best to eat them fried and served with a special dipping sauce.

Li Dazui's method is cold salad.

Not only fishy, but also spicy, sweet with sweet, sweet with bitter, bitter with spicy, spicy hidden in spicy.

In short, two words – unpalatable!

Who in their right mind would eat this thing?

"Next, wine-stuffed radish skin!"

"Next, braised fat sea!"

"Next, crispy fried gherkins!"

"Next, charcoal-grilled sow trotters!"

"Next, steamed yellow croaker!"

Every time a dish was revealed, Tong Xiangyu's eyes became a little more angry, steaming yellow croaker, and finally she found an excuse and slapped the table directly and asked angrily.

"There's a dish on the other side of the dish!"

"The name is different from the same dish, they steam the fish, they are all steamed with water, we steam the fish, we use swill, I keep all the vegetable soup left over from cooking over the years, and use these soups to cook into a thick pot of broth......"

Tong Xiangyu's noodles turned pale, and he pointed to the last two big bowls and said, "Look at the soup and desserts!" ”

Li Dazui lifted the bowl, revealing a pot of dirty egg drop soup, and said loudly: "Swill egg drop soup!" ”

Tong Xiangyu almost pulled it over, and finally there was one last hope, that is, the latest dessert.

"Dessert, rock sugar fat sausage!"

Tong Xiangyu laughed angrily: "Good dish! What a good dish! You eat it all, there is no soup left, I watch you eat! Eat! ”

"Shopkeeper, we ......"

"If you don't eat it, will the guests eat it?"

"I'm ......"

Li Dazui scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, how these things are made, he knows better than anyone else, if he eats them all, he will have to pull his stomach for half a month.

As the saying goes, heroes can't bear the three bubbles!

The big hero, pulling for one night, is basically the end of the calf, and after half a month of continuous pulling, he can pull out all the fat flesh of Li Dazui.

Shen Lian played a round for him, in fact, Li Dazui was not to blame for this matter, it was completely opposite to hurt people.

It's not that their dishes are cheap, but they deliberately sell them so cheaply, and when they collapse the Tongfu Inn, they can increase the price and quickly earn back the money they lost.

This kind of thing is common in all eras.

There is an idiom called "no sharp business", which describes the price war, which refers to the merchant who sells rice, and will make the rice sharp and protrude a part.

This part is a concession to customers, the higher the rice, the more profit it will make, the more customers it will attract, and the more money it can eventually make.

It can be understood as a cylinder with a cone with the same base area on it.

The cylinder is a normal sale of goods, the cone is a gift from the merchant, according to the cone volume formula, the bottom area is the same, the higher the height, the larger the volume.

So, whoever piles it up and stacks it high proves that there are more giveaways, and people are willing to buy them.

It's just that time has changed, and it used to be a good thing to make profits for customers, but now it has become a treacherous business.

The method of hurting people with this is a conspiracy, either admit defeat directly, or burn money, throw a lot of silver into it, and see who smashes the big splash.

Shen Lian picked up a crispy fried gherkin.

Among the dishes made by Li Dazui, only the cucumber can be eaten, if you modify it a little and then make up some strange stories, that is, tempura immortals!

"The taste of this thing is okay, but the ingredients and heat are not well controlled, and you can wrap the batter in fried cucumbers, but you can't fry anything else?"

"Fry something?"

"Fried shrimp!"

"What else?"

"Fried Ice Skate!"

The so-called ice skate is that after the snow on the roof melts in winter, it flows down the roof, but because the weather is too cold, it freezes when it flows, forming ice picks at the eaves, commonly known as ice skates.

Fried ice skates are a dish that obviously belongs to the northern cuisine, because ice skates are not seen in the south.

You can't let the cook learn how to be cold!

There is no special taste for fried ice skates, but the cold of the ice and the heat of the oil pan bring a strong contrast to the diners, and it also tests the level of the cook's hanging paste.

can make a fried ice skate perfectly, and the skill in hanging paste is basically a big achievement.

In addition, this is pronounced hanging paste (hù).

Shangguan Xue'er asked, "Master, is the fried ice skate delicious?" Also, the restaurant opposite, with the price so low, can it really hold up? ”

Shen Lian touched Shangguan Xue'er's head: "Tonight's homework, count the flow of Yihong Mansion, calculate their account books, are there any special problems." ”

"Master said so, that is, there is!"

"I don't count!"

"Who's up to say?"

"The evidence says yes!"

Shen Lian asked Shangguan Xue'er to settle the account, this is a math homework for her, a disciple of the Freedom Sect, and he is not required to be rich and rich, but he must not be illiterate.

Bai Zhantang asked in a low voice, "Shen Zhutou, is there really a problem with Yihong Mansion?" You're not lying, are you? ”

Shen Lian said: "Throwing so much money every day, and throwing it has not closed down until now, either the capital is abundant, or there are other means, if their capital is so thick, how can they come to Qixia Town to open a store?" ”

"How do they save money?"

"Taxes!"

"Why didn't you arrest them?"

"Not in his position, not in his politics, this is a matter of Lou Zhi County, he should have been staring at it for a while, didn't you find that Lao Xing went to Yihong Mansion every day?"

"Lao Xing is going to eat."

"Eating doesn't delay the case."

At the end of the month, Yihonglou received a ticket from Lou Zhixian, and in order to prevent imprisonment, he could only grit his teeth and fill the hole, and then found that the principal was lost.

Either the price rises or you leave!

It is absolutely impossible to keep throwing money around.

No matter how high the sunk cost is, they must stop investing, and the strong man will break his wrist in exchange for life.
