Chapter 146 Li Dabo's Thoughts and Lu Mingtao's Arrival
"Sir, Butler Li is back." A servant reported to Li Dabai in the Li family compound in Song County. "Well, let him come to the study to see me."
"Sir." Butler Li entered Li Dabai's study and saluted him first. "Have you got everything?" Li Dabai raised his head and asked.
"Yes, sir." Butler Li bowed again and replied. "The younger one followed him into the house and watched him take out the pamphlet and copy it in front of him. When he came back, he warned him not to copy it.
Tell this matter."
"Well, you did a good job." Li Dabai nodded. "Do you know who provided them with this method?" Li Dabai picked up the teacup and drank slowly.
"Yes," Butler Li's face looked a little strange, and he seemed hesitant to speak.
"What's going on?" Li Dabo stared at him and asked, "Didn't he tell me?" Li Dabo was a little angry. He spent a hundred taels of silver but refused to tell the person's details. It was too much. In Song
No one in the county dared to play tricks on him like this.
"That's not true. I just don't know whether this is true or not?" Butler Li said hesitantly.
"Speak out and listen." Li Dabai calmed down first.
"He said that this watermelon was first grown by a child of about ten years old. After selling it to Muyue Trading Company, he taught it to them." Butler Li briefly introduced Lin Zhu's life experience.
"Are you sure he didn't lie to you?" Li Dabai didn't quite believe it. "The younger one thought the same way at the time, but although he couldn't believe everything he said, the younger one thought that he wouldn't lie about this. In Linjia Village, whatever.
Even if you find a person, you can know the truth and falsehood."
"Well, that's true." Li Dabai also agreed with Butler Li's statement. "But don't you think this is too strange? A ten-year-old child would do this?"
"The younger one can't believe it." Butler Li, like Li Dabai, also thought secretly. "Maybe it was left to her by her family. Although this person does not have parents to take care of her now, she lives in the manor in the west of the village.
There were two servants taking care of her before. The younger one was wondering if it was those two people who left her behind?"
"What you said makes sense, but it's not important now. The method you brought will be sent to Zhuangzi tomorrow. Let the head of the village see if it can be successful in growing watermelons using this method?" Li Dabai ordered, but he couldn't.
Just to listen to what Lin Feng said, you have to find someone knowledgeable to take a look.
"One more thing," Butler Li continued, "It seems that Lin Feng doesn't get along very well with the village chief of Linjia Village. Moreover, the seeds he uses to grow watermelons are different from others. The people led by the village chief take the watermelons to
They were all sold to Muyue Trading Company, and people who were close to Lin Feng could only sell their watermelons to other trading firms, and the prices were a bit different."
"Is there such a thing?" Li Dabai was a little interested in this, "What's the reason?"
"Lin Feng said it was Lin Zhu, oh. Lin Zhu was the one who gave the people in Linjia Village the method of growing watermelons. When she was planting watermelons, some people said some unpleasant things, and then they tried to force her to use this method.
, so she held a grudge against her, so she didn’t provide them with seeds." Butler Li picked up the words he heard from Lin Feng, but of course, he didn’t say those words that Lin Feng used to gild himself.
"It seems that Lin Feng is not an honest person." Li Dabai snorted. "In that case, we must also get those good seeds," he said and then ordered Butler Li. "Butler, please go and inquire again.
Where did her seeds come from? If you can buy them, let’s buy some. If there aren’t any outside, just look for Lin Zhu.”
"Yes." Butler Li nodded in agreement. "Master, what if that Linzhu lion opens his mouth? After all, we are not from Linjia Village."
"Huh, she's just a little orphan. Master, I can crush her to death with just one finger. If she plays tricks, it's okay to give her a lesson." Li Dabai would not allow anyone to stand in the way of his upcoming wealth. He simply
I never thought that Lin Zhu would not sell the seeds to him.
"Yes, the master used her seed because he was interested in her. She is just a child, so it's okay to coax her." Butler Li also flattered Li Dabo a little.
After that, Butler Li went to the Li family's village and asked the village head to see the method of growing watermelons. After receiving the village head's affirmative answer, he discussed with Li Dabai to find time to buy improved watermelon seeds from Lin Zhu.
Before Li Dabai came to the door, Lu Mingtao from Muyue Trading Company arrived first.
Before anyone at Lin Zhu's house could express surprise at Lu Mingtao's arrival, someone scared him first. "Chang Tianlei?" Chang Tianlei, who had just opened the door, heard the unknown person in front of him shout.
As soon as he said his name, his expression changed. The door was closed with a whoosh.
"Hey, don't close the door." Just as Lu Mingtao was about to step forward, he was almost hit in the nose by the door that Chang Tianlei suddenly closed. He came alone this time, with only the horse behind him. He was glad that no one saw him.
Otherwise, the unscrupulous Fourth Master would have laughed out loud.
He looked at the closed door and had no choice but to knock again. This time it was Chang Shitian's door.
"Who are you?" Chang Shi's strong body blocked the door. Lu Mingtao was just a little shorter than him, so he couldn't see anything in the world inside the door.
"I am Lu Mingtao from Muyue Trading Company. I am here to visit Miss Lin Zhu." Lu Mingtao first identified himself in order not to be shut out.
"From Muyue Trading Company?" Chang Shi looked at him suspiciously, "Are you the only one?"
"Yes." Lu Mingtao nodded.
"Liar." Bang, the door was closed again.
"Uh!" Lu Mingtao looked at the door in astonishment and said to himself, his face is very popular in the capital, but why is he not welcome to see anyone here? He had no choice but to knock on the door for the third time.
"Master Lu?" A voice brought the depressed Lu Mingtao back to life. He looked up and said, "Butler Zhang?" It turned out that it was Dr. Zhang's housekeeper who opened the door. "Haha, it was really Mr. Lu. Just now.
It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I hope Mr. Lu can forgive me." Butler Zhang respectfully invited Lu Mingtao in and asked the people below to lead Lu Mingtao's horse over.
"Mr. Zhang is here too?" Lu Mingtao asked as he followed Butler Zhang forward. "Yes, the master's house really can't accommodate so many people. This new house built by Miss Bu Zhu has many rooms, so we can all live there."
Here we are." Butler Zhang explained with a smile, "Master Lu, how come you are calling here alone? You didn't bring anyone with you." Butler Zhang looked at his dusty appearance and thought to himself, no wonder Chang Shi
Call him a liar.
"It's easy to attract attention when there are too many people. Now many people in the capital are staring at me." Lu Mingtao said helplessly.
"Haha, I have also heard about Mr. Lu's great achievements. Mr. Lu is very resourceful." Butler Zhang said with a smile.
"Butler Zhang is making fun of me. Others don't know, don't you understand? If it weren't for Mr. Zhang who pulled the strings, how could we have been so lucky to meet Miss Lin Zhu." Lu Mingtao's eloquence is quite good.
good.
"You are so polite, Mr. Lu. Please, I will stay here temporarily." Arriving at the door of Dr. Zhang's room, Butler Zhang knocked on the door first, then bowed and invited him in.
"I have met Mr. Zhang." Lu Mingtao bowed first. "Master Lu, you are so polite. Come on, come on, please sit down." Lu Mingtao straightened up and realized that there was someone else in the room. It was the man he had just seen.
The people he locked out twice were Chang Tianlei and Chang Shi.
"Haha, I'm really sorry just now. They misunderstood you." Dr. Zhang apologized on behalf of Chang Tianlei and the two.
"It doesn't matter, they should be more cautious. Lu was too abrupt." Lu Mingtao waved his hands and said he didn't care. "I just didn't expect that someone who couldn't be found after searching all over the capital is actually in this small mountain village. Haha, really.
What a good place." Lu Mingtao smiled.
"It's due to fate that Mr. Lu will not spread the news." Old Doctor Zhang also said to him with a smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lu is not the kind of person who talks nonsense." Lu Mingtao immediately assured him.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Old Doctor Zhang nodded, "I wonder what Mr. Lu is here for this time?" Old Doctor Zhang felt vaguely that he had some ideas, but couldn't grasp them for the moment.
"Lu came here this time mainly to discuss the special white rice with Miss Lin Zhu. Mr. Zhang must also know that now everyone in the capital is eyeing this special white rice, and the threshold of our Muyue Trading Company is almost closed.
Those dignitaries have been crushed." Lu Mingtao sighed, "There are also people who are eyeing Muyue Trading Company. What are they going to do next? This time the limelight is really bigger."
"Haha, it seems that your boss is too weak to count money." Old Doctor Zhang made a joke about Mu Qiyue.
"This is also thanks to Miss Lin." Lu Mingtao said with a modest smile. "It's just that blessings and misfortunes always depend on each other. Seed shops all over the capital are being asked if they have this kind of special white rice.
I was also afraid that someone would find Miss Lin Zhu, so I came over quickly."
"Young Master Lu came at the right time, and we were just about to find you." Old Doctor Zhang's words made his eyes light up. "It seems that Miss Lin Zhu wants to continue cooperating with Muyue Trading Company."
"Of course, after all, Muyue Trading Company has always done a good job with Zhu Yatou." Old Doctor Zhang said with a smile, and suddenly his words changed, "They just threw me, the person who pulled the strings, aside.
"
"Haha, how could that be? Mr. Zhang is really joking." Lu Mingtao didn't expect Mr. Zhang to mention this matter so quickly, so he just laughed a few times. It was true that he did something unethical about the pot of orchids.
"Are you kidding? I don't know how to joke." Old Doctor Zhang said with a straight face, "When are you going to return that pot of summer plum?" Old Doctor Zhang asked directly. (To be continued. If you like this work,
