After Lin Ziyi left Bafang Teahouse, he met Mu Gu who was coming for a meeting.
"General, let him escape!" Mu Gu reported.
Lin Ziyi frowned. Prime Minister Qu was in the capital with one hand covering the sky. It would not be that easy to catch his son under his nose.
"Go back to the barracks!"
Not long after, they rode back to the military camp and were greeted by the deputy general before they even came in.
Lin Ziyi jumped off the horse, and the deputy general followed him. As he walked, he said: "General, a guest is coming!"
Lin Ziyi had already arrived in front of the camp, opened the curtain and went in, where he saw a man in blue standing in front of a sheepskin map.
"What kind of wind blew today to bring the Eighth Prince here?" He walked in.
"Zi Yi, your mouth looks like it's been eaten by a gun. What's wrong? Are you angry because of catching Qu Rongjie?" The man in blue turned his head and looked at him.
Lin Ziyi sat on a chair, holding his forehead with his hand.
"Prince, why did you come to my place for this matter?"
"You are investigating Prime Minister Qu. For such a big matter, of course I have to come over!" the Eighth Prince said.
Lin Ziyi suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him: "How do you know!"
The Eighth Prince looked at him, spread his hands helplessly, and said: "Your actions recently have been too obvious. First, you arrested Wangxi Town Magistrate Li Dacai and Master Qing. After returning to the capital, you began to investigate Lin Heshou. Who is the boss of these two people?"
, Anyone with a discerning eye knows that you did not investigate so many cases, but you focused on people who have something to do with Prime Minister Qu. This has to make people suspicious. My master asked me to come over and remind you that you should not be eager for quick success and quick gain recently, so as not to bring trouble to yourself.
!”
After saying that, the Eighth Prince stared at the wine bottle Lin Ziyi placed on the table.
"Is this brought to me specially?" He picked it up and shook it in his hand.
"Then I'll take it!"
After saying that, he walked out.
Lin Ziyi opened his mouth, thought about it, and let him take it, it's just a jug of wine...
Before the auction, he really thought that the wine could heal internal injuries, but when he saw that the person selling the wine was Xia Jin, he realized that he had been 'cheated'.
Recalling Xia Jin's repeated bids, it was obvious that he was trying to drive up the price of wine.
Thinking of this, Lin Ziyi felt that he was being played by Xia Jin, and his face darkened.
evening.
Xia Jin returned to the yard and carefully counted the banknotes she earned today. After excluding the banknotes for buying spices, there was still more than half left. These were more than enough for the decoration and furniture purchase of the Food God Hall.
The most difficult spice problem has been solved, and now we just wait for the opening.
Xia Jin was looking forward to it while eating homemade spicy strips, when Shiji hurried in.
"My boss, the general is here!"
Xia Jin quickly put down the spicy strips and found a handkerchief to wipe the oil stains on her fingers.
Lin Ziyi walked in, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on his back, leaving a long shadow on the ground, wrapping Xia Jin in it.
He walked in and sat at the table, "Tell me why you are with the Eight Wise Kings."
The Eighth Sage King was an idle prince who often wandered around the land of fireworks. Seeing Xia Jin with him, Lin Ziyi was furious.
At this moment, naturally he didn't have a good expression.
Seeing that he was angry, Xia Jin quickly smoothed his hair:
"General, don't be angry. I am with the Eight Wise Kings to enter the business banquet auction. By the way, I have something I want to ask the general."
"Say!" Lin Ziyi said with a cold face.
"General, are you bidding for my wine because you like drinking? I still have some here, give them to you!" Xia Jin quickly changed the subject!
It was okay if he didn't say it, but when he said it, Lin Ziyi's face turned even darker.
"You open your restaurant properly. The old lady and I both support it, but why do you go to the auction to sell unrealistic wine at inflated prices?" He looked into Xia Jin's eyes with a look of disappointment.
He turned around and walked out.
Xia Jin wanted to catch up and explain, but think about it, no matter what, just think whatever you want.
Although I thought so, I still went to bed early out of anger.
Lin Ziyi came out of the house, looked at the darkening sky and the extinguished candles behind, and thought to himself: Could he have spoken too harshly...
It's just some money, why should I lose my temper with a woman like this?
He sighed deeply, pinched his eyebrows, and then thought about teaching Xia Jin a lesson.
Otherwise, she would follow those profiteers and learn how to cheat people out of money.
He got on horseback and headed towards the general's mansion...
Early the next morning, the Eighth Prince rushed over in a hurry. The genius Meng Mengliang pulled Lin Ziyi over who had gotten up for morning exercises and asked excitedly:
"Wine, do you have any more wine?"
Lin Ziyi looked at him doubtfully. "What did you say?"
"That's right, do you still have the wine I got in the military camp yesterday?" The eighth prince shook the empty wine bottle in his hand.
Lin Ziyi looked at the wine flask. Isn't this the wine that Xia Jin brought to the auction? The eighth prince took it away yesterday and has finished it now.
"Is there something wrong with drinking?"
The Eighth Prince shook his head and said excitedly: "My master accidentally suffered some internal injuries while practicing a few days ago. Yesterday I gave this pot of wine to honor his old man. After the master drank it, the internal injuries were more than half healed the next day!
"
"Zi Yi, tell me quickly, where did you buy these wines from?"
Lin Ziyi was stunned, and after reacting, he hurriedly asked: "Is this wine really effective?"
"Of course, can my master still lie to others?" the Eighth Prince said.
Lin Ziyi stood up, remembering the outrageous words he said to Xia Jin last night, and walked out of the general's mansion in annoyance.
"Hey, Ziyi, where are you going? You haven't told me yet!"
Lin Ziyi didn't have the energy to answer him at the moment. He just wanted to find Xia Jin and apologize!
"You go back first, I'll come find you later!"
Early in the morning, Xia Jin went to the Food Hall, which was being renovated. With more funds, Xia Jin could decorate it as she pleased.
With the experience of decorating in Wangxi Town last time, Xia Jin was much more cautious this time. To build an open kitchen, the problem of oil fume must first be solved, and then a range hood must be installed!
Xia Jin found paper and pen to draw. There was no electricity here, so Xia Jin used water braking to make a range hood driven by a water tanker.
Drawing these drawings is not difficult for Xia Jin. In college, she majored in mechanical engineering and had knowledge of ancient machinery.
Combining modern and ancient manufacturing techniques, a drawing of the range hood was drawn up that allowed the craftsmen here to make it, and multiple parts were separated and processed separately.
Xia Jin was painting carefully, but she didn't know there was a person standing behind her.
Lin Ziyi stood behind her and watched for an unknown amount of time.
I originally wanted to apologize to Xia Jin for what happened yesterday, but when I saw the drawings drawn by Xia Jin, I was shocked!
Then, I stood here unknowingly and stared for a long time. When I looked at Xia Jin again, my eyes couldn't help but become shocked.
This woman is so extraordinary!
Even the Lu family, who claim to be descendants of Lu Ban, cannot produce such exquisite drawings!
