Chapter 212 Soup Rice Cake (2)
Cabbage is a seasonal vegetable at this time. It is pulled out from the ground on Zhuangzi and delivered here. It is naturally fresh and tight. When you put it into your mouth and take a bite, you can taste the unique sweetness of fresh cabbage; pickled The processed pork shreds are extremely tender; the shiitake mushrooms are delicious and smooth; but the most special thing is the rice cake that seems to be broken with a little force on the chopsticks, with a soft and glutinous texture and a milky white color. The rich soup was brought into the mouth along with the dense heat. After really taking a sip, the warmth can extend from the stomach to all parts of the body.
After a bowl of rice cake soup, Liu Yuan, who had completely warmed up, stood up and urged Wu Bucai, who had finished the last sip of soup in the bowl: "Let's go, Old Wu! Let's get to work!"
Wu Bucai put down the soup bowl in his hand, burped in response, and he and Liu Yuan got up and walked out.
The truth that has been buried for many years will eventually be revealed. Lin Fei handed over the affairs of the Wen family merchants to Liu Yuantong and Wu Bucai. He was flipping through the files at the desk. On the corner of the desk was the bowl of rice cakes with rice soup brought from the public kitchen.
The soft and glutinous texture makes people want it no matter whether it is sweet or salty. After picking up the last piece of rice cake in the bowl and putting it into his mouth, Bai Zhu walked in with the file.
"Lin Shaoqing!"
Lin Fei raised his head and said "hmm" to him, and asked, "How is the investigation of the Yuan family's affairs going?"
Miss Yuan San, who was "quickly knocked down by the wind", had woken up, but Lin Fei and others did not see her immediately in the past two days. This made the crab-eating Miss Yuan San who fainted uneasy. , I have sent my maids several times in the past few days, just because I wanted to come over and find out what happened.
Bai Zhu handed the file he had brought to Lin Fei and started talking about the Yuan family matters he had found out in the past few days.
"Although the successive failures in the waterway freight business have something to do with the incompetence of Yuan Erlang in prison, the bigger problem lies with the Yuan family itself!" Bai Zhu said, "The Yuan family's waterway business was initially operated through local people for many years. The connections were fought for by the same forces, but once he entered the water, his little help from the local forces was very little. The Yuan family itself was much worse than the merchants who were doing water freight business next to it, and naturally it became worse and worse. "
Having said this, Bai Zhu couldn't help but shake his head: "Not only is his vision and ability lacking, he also has bad luck. The money he earned with luck in the past few years has been lost in the past few years with his own ability!"
"The Yuan family naturally thinks highly of themselves for being able to raise young people like Yuan Er. They don't want to admit their shortcomings, they just think it's bad luck." When Bai Zhu said this, his expression became more subtle, "Said It's bad luck that his family's profitable tombstone business was pulled out of business. I heard that many people in the family have been saying that they want to stop this 'bad luck' business in the past few years, Genjiro is one of them!"
They don't know anything about Feng Shui and Kan Yu, but it's really hard to understand the Yuan family's thoughts when they stopped their profitable business and started a shipping business that has been losing money for many years.
"Of course, not everyone agrees, and those Yuan family members who run the tombstone business refuse." At this point, Bai Zhu paused and said to Lin Fei, "The Yuan family involved in the sword shop incident The boss just won’t wait!”
Therefore, the Yuan family is currently fighting among themselves, and the owner of the Yuan family, who is not dealing with Yuan Er, is involved in the sword shop incident.
These things look really messy at first glance!
Bai Zhu shook his head, sighed and continued: "Miss Yuan San has never taken over these matters because she has been sick since childhood. She has only been recuperating at home, raising flowers and plants on weekdays. I heard that Yuan Erlang I’ve always been nice to this girl!”
Of course, this can also be seen from Genjiro's various protections.
"By the way, in the past, when the Yuan family and the Qiandengpu Jiang family had not yet quarreled, the matter of deciding the marriage of their children was true, and..." Bai Zhu looked at Lin Fei, who suddenly stopped moving in front of him, and said, " And it’s decided…”
"Miss Yuan San and Mr. Jiang." Lin Fei spoke before Bai Zhu could tell their names.
As the investigation into the affairs of the Yuan and Jiang families deepened, there were more and more involvements. Whether it was Miss Yuan San or Mr. Jiang, they were involved in more than one thing.
"Then the two families fell out, and the in-law relationship was annulled!" When Bai Zhu said this, he paused, and then said, "The old servant of the Jiang family I found said that the in-law relationship was annulled. One is that the two families are at odds with each other over business, and the other is also related to Miss Yuan San’s poor health!”
Lin Fei, who was looking down at the file, heard this, glanced up at Bai Zhu, and said: "Looking at the name of Mr. Jiang, most people in the Jiang family will not agree!"
After all, he was named "Chengzu", how could he have a sick Miss Yuan San? Bai Zhushen agreed with this, paused, and then continued.
"When the old servants were at odds, the two families pointed at each other's noses and cursed each other. The Yuan family scolded the Jiang family for being unjust and robbing their in-laws of their business. It was really vicious!"
"The Jiang family believes that in business, everyone relies on their own abilities. The Yuan family's own skills are just inferior to others!" Bai Zhu said, "I heard that the Jiang family also mocked the Yuan family for doing such business and harming the health of their descendants. Who would dare to marry someone with such a disease? It’s like this!”
Now that we are at odds with each other, we naturally poke at each other's sore spots and scold him! But even though it's just poking a sore spot, I'm afraid it's also what the Jiang family really thinks in their hearts.
Lin Fei nodded, and after a brief pause, asked Bai Zhu: "How is the birth of Mr. Jiang?"
"Lin Shaoqing asked me not to alert others, so I haven't gone to look for Mr. Jiang yet," Bai Zhu said, "but I was pointed out by an old servant and took a look at Mr. Jiang from a distance. He looks very good. I heard that he is not All the young ladies admire this Young Master Jiang very much!"
Lin Fei said "hmm" and raised his eyes to look at Bai Zhu: "What is the relationship between Mr. Jiang and Miss Yuan San?"
ha? Bai Zhu was stunned by this question. After being stunned for a long time, he said: "The two of them were still young when the two families were at odds. What could they understand?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Lin Fei glanced at Bai Zhu and said, "Have you forgotten Master Wen's ex-fiancé?"
Bai Zhu: "..."
"It's hard to talk about this." Lin Fei said before Bai Zhu could say anything, "The relationship between these two people is most easily ignored."
This is true! Bai Zhu fell silent, thought for a while, and said: "Lin Shaoqing said this, Mr. Jiang is a very talented man, and Miss Yuan San may not fall in love at first sight when she meets her ex-fiancé."
Lin Fei glanced at Bai Zhu and said: "It's up to you who admires which. It's not impossible that Mr. Jiang prefers Miss Yuan San's attitude. I don't have to worry about these children's emotional affairs. I have to take care of them." What is the relationship between these two people, whether they have any personal contact, and whether they even did anything in this matter!"
Having said this, Lin Fei put down the file in his hand and tapped his finger on the desk: "I am waiting to ask Miss Yuan San about something that she cannot escape no matter how much she eats. Why did it happen at that time? Are you going to do something stupid like that?"
It would make sense to say that Miss Yuan San is stupid to begin with, but judging from his contact with their siblings on the day of the Lantern Festival, this Miss Yuan San is not as stupid as her brother Yuan Erlang!
