Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 397: There is also roast duck in Beijing?

Next to Lishui County is Jurong County.

It's not far from Lishui County, but it's not very close either.

When Li Mingyou came here, he was looking for Dongming Clothing Store.

This is the only cloth shop that was not knocked down when Su's Cloth Shop was rising. Instead, it stood firm.

Like Su's Clothing Company, it didn't take long to start, but it rose very quickly.

When Su Jing's Su's Cloth Company swept away other established cloth shops and disrupted the market, Dongming Cloth Company seized the opportunity, reformed with determination, and successfully transformed.

Now, in this Jurong County, it is considered the only one.

Li Mingyou didn't meet the owner of Dongming Clothing Store because of antique trading, as he said.

Everything was entirely his deliberate contact and active friendship, even before the Wang Jiafu incident came up.

"Shopkeeper Li, what brought you out?"

A fat man with a big belly walked out with a smile and said to Li Mingyou.

Li Mingyou cupped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, I'm here to disturb you. Please don't blame Shopkeeper Zhao."

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said: "If Shopkeeper Li is there, I welcome Shopkeeper Li here at any time. I'm just curious as to why Shopkeeper Li is here?"

Li Mingyou looked around and hesitated.

Shopkeeper Zhao immediately understood and said, "Shopkeeper Li, come with me."

As he spoke, he twisted his huge body and walked directly to the back room.

Li Mingyou followed closely behind.

In the back room, Shopkeeper Zhao poured a cup of tea for Li Mingyou: "Shopkeeper Li, it seems that you are here for something this time. Tell me, what is it that is worth your visit to me in person?"

Li Mingyou smiled faintly and said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, I have a business. I think it is very suitable for Shopkeeper Zhao. It costs nothing and makes a lot of profits. I wonder if Shopkeeper Zhao is interested?"

"Oh? Is there such a good thing? Shopkeeper Li, you need to talk to me carefully."

Shopkeeper Zhao immediately leaned towards Li Mingyou, with excitement on his face.

Li Mingyou said: "I think shopkeeper Zhao must know something about Su's cloth business."

Shopkeeper Zhao nodded and said: "Yes, I know one thing. It is said that there was an accident in the warehouse, and now we can't even deliver the goods."

Li Mingyou immediately said: "Shopkeeper Zhao is really well-informed. It is really admirable that he knows about Su's business in Jurong County!"

Shopkeeper Zhao waved his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Li's words are a bit ridiculous. Su's Cloth Shop is now the largest cloth shop in Lishui County and even the surrounding areas, but my biggest opponent naturally pays more attention to it."

"What does Shopkeeper Li mean by mentioning Su's Cloth Shop? Could it be related to Su's Cloth Shop?"

Li Mingyou picked up the tea cup, took a sip and then said: "Yes, shopkeeper Zhao is really keen. This matter really has something to do with Su's cloth shop."

Now Li Mingyou was secretly happy. Fortunately, Su Jing was very clear about the division of the shops under his control. Between Su's Cloth Shop and his antique shop, few people knew that they both belonged to Su Jing.

Otherwise, if Shopkeeper Zhao in front of me knew about this, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe it, no, he probably wouldn't be able to make friends from the beginning.

Shopkeeper Zhao said: "I don't know what shopkeeper Li is talking about. If we crack down on Su's cloth shop, there is no need now. After all, the goods can't be delivered. When the time comes, the reputation will naturally decline. When the time comes, I’ll just do some more promotions and publicity activities to get the popularity back.”

When Li Mingyou listened to Shopkeeper Zhao's words, he felt that they sounded familiar.

But he didn't think too much, because what he wanted was to bring down Su Jing.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, do you know who the boss of Su's Cloth Shop is?"

Li Mingyou asked shopkeeper Zhao.

Shopkeeper Zhao replied: "It's really not clear. The shopkeeper of Su's Cloth Shop is called Sun Ping, but obviously he is definitely not the boss Su behind it."

Li Mingyou said: "The owner of Su's Cloth Shop is named Su Jing, and he is just a young man in his early twenties."

"What? So young?"

Shopkeeper Zhao looked surprised, and the fat on his face trembled, looking very funny.

Li Mingyou had no intention of ridiculing, but said: "That's right, even though Su Jing is young, her methods are quite sophisticated. I'm afraid he also has a way to deal with the Su family's wedding this time, but it's just that Not quite yet.”

"As for me, I happened to know him, so I exchanged a few polite words with him. Unexpectedly, he wanted me to help find the goods. As soon as I saw this as an opportunity, I came to shopkeeper Zhao."

When Shopkeeper Zhao heard this, his face darkened, his brows furrowed and he said, "Shopkeeper Li, you mean that this Boss Su has begged you, so we can be on this batch of goods..."

Shopkeeper Zhao didn't make it clear at this point.

There are some things that everyone understands without having to explain them too thoroughly.

"That's right! Shopkeeper Zhao is indeed a smart man. I might as well tell Shopkeeper Zhao that tomorrow is the day when Su's Cloth Company will deliver the goods. It would be okay if the goods don't show up. Su Jing will pay according to the contract and may lose some money. But at least the reputation can be kept, but if...hehe!"

Li Mingyou smiled cunningly, obviously feeling excited about his evil plan.

Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Li Mingyou and said, "That's it. Shopkeeper Li's business is really a big business! I have to thank Shopkeeper Li."

Li Mingyou said: "Anyway, I just hit it off with Shopkeeper Zhao. This little thing is nothing."

"Since Shopkeeper Zhao also thinks this is feasible, how about we discuss the details?"

Looking at shopkeeper Zhao in front of him, Li Mingyou was full of confidence. This time he must let Su Jing feel the taste of frustration.

……

in the courtyard.

Su Jing's extraction of the rubber from the dandelion root bark is almost complete. Unlike the root pulp, the extraction of the root bark requires an alkali solution.

The extraction method is the same as that of root pulp. It is boiled first, then filtered, and finally the filter residue is dried.

None of these steps are difficult, you just need to be careful.

After working for a long time, Su Jing finally got about a pot of rubber.

Su Jing cut off a piece with a knife. The color was yellow, not the black that Su Jing had seen in her previous life.

I pinched it and felt it. It was very elastic, but not very hard.

At the same time, the recovery after deformation is not that fast.

"Sure enough, the ones made by hand are not as good as those produced by modern industry."

Su Jing sighed slightly, but there was no sadness at all.

After all, it’s pretty good to be able to rub it out.

He had already dismantled the carriage wheels and made the mold. All that was left was to heat the rubber and pour it into the mold to cool and solidify.

Su Jing didn't waste any time and started doing it immediately.

His yard originally had a lot of strange tools that could smelt iron, let alone melt rubber.

Gu~~~Gu~~~~
Su Jing was pushing the bellows hard, but her stomach growled.

"Is it this point?"

Su Jing took a look at the sky. The sun was almost setting and it was time for dinner.

However, the stove is still burning, and if he goes to eat, no one will look after him.

At this moment, a burst of fragrance reached Su Jing's nose.

"My boss." Sun Ping came to Su Jing's small courtyard carrying a food box.

Su Jing stood up and didn't look at Sun Ping. Instead, she stared at the food box and asked, "Is it roast duck?"

"My boss has a really good nose. I had someone seal it and bring it here, but you still smelled it right away."

Sun Ping placed the food box on the table and took out the food inside.

A whole roast duck, ruddy and quite attractive.

There are also three plates of stir-fries and two large bowls of rice.

"Master, I guessed that you haven't eaten yet, so I specially brought a portion here."

Sun Ping said to Su Jing.

Su Jing nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the food you delivered was quite timely, especially the roast duck. You know that I like to eat it freshly chopped, so I brought it whole."

"That's for sure. I've seen my boss's knife skills many times. Cutting up a duck is definitely not a problem. I'll get my boss a cutting board and a kitchen knife."

Sun Ping immediately went to the kitchen, while Su Jing reduced the flame in the stove.

Although he ate quickly, he had to be careful not to burn the rubber he had worked so hard to make.

In the small courtyard, Su Jing took advantage of the sunset and started to kill the duck.

This Jinling Roast Duck does not require very strict knife skills. It only needs to be cut into pieces. The most important thing is not to damage the skin too much.

boom! boom! boom!
Su Jing raised the knife and lowered it very decisively. The whole duck was quickly cut into pieces under his knife.

After simple stacking, it was completely presented on the plate.

At this time, add hot brine and the aroma will spread directly.

"My boss's knife skills are really amazing."

Sun Ping complimented and brought a ladle of hot water over to wash Su Jing's hands.

Su Jing said: "Sun Ping, don't flatter me now. It's just a duck. It's not a Peking duck. It's a hundred and eight pieces, each piece with meat."

“Is there roast duck in Beijing too?”

Sun Ping asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Su Jing then remembered that there was no Peking roast duck at the moment. It was only available after Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing.

"It's nothing, I'm just talking casually."

Su Jing made a random statement.

Sun Ping said seriously: "My boss is really knowledgeable. Sun Ping learned a lot today."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's eat. The duck won't taste good when it's cold."

Su Jing urged, and Sun Ping immediately brought out the food.

Because they were in a small courtyard and it was getting late, the two of them cooked the meal quite quickly.

Su Jing had eaten quickly in her previous life, but Sun Ping had been hungry and had eaten quickly.

In just one stick of incense, not only was the meal finished, but Sun Ping even cleared the table and dishes.

Su Jing continued to control the flame next to the stove, and the melting of the rubber was basically completed.

"Come on, help me, Sun Ping."

Su Jing shouted.

Sun Ping ran over immediately, and together with Su Jing poured a pot of burned rubber solution into the mold.

After closing the lid, Su Jing clapped her hands and said with satisfaction: "That's good, the rest will be left to time."

"Master, what are you doing? This smell is a bit pungent."

Sun Ping asked. In fact, he smelled a strange smell as soon as he came in.

Su Jing replied: "Making tires."

tire?

Sun Ping was surprised, but he was not that curious. There were many things that Su Jing did that he could not understand.

"My boss, you know, just like what you said, I was shocked today. Everything was taken care of by you, my boss."

Sun Ping said excitedly.

Su Jing nodded and said: "I know, shopkeeper Li came before you and told me."

Li Mingyou!
Sun Ping's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Su Jing and said, "My boss, this Li Mingyou is not a good person. He came to my boss to do something bad, right?"

Su Jing smiled and said: "I'm not doing this well, what can he do? Don't be so nervous."

Sun Ping said: "No, my boss, Li Mingyou is too deep-minded. Didn't I tell my boss about the matter that came to me before? I feel that the matter of the wedding this time may have something to do with Li Mingyou."

Sun Ping still had some intuition. After all, it was the business he had worked so hard to manage, and he was always a little angry when it was turned into this.

"Sun Ping, if you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense. It's not good to slander Shopkeeper Li."

Su Jing still responded calmly.

Sun Ping was a little anxious, but another voice interrupted him: "Yes, Shopkeeper Sun, is it a bit too much for you to say bad things about me in front of my boss like this?"

Sun Ping turned around, and it was Li Mingyou.

When he thought that what he just said to Su Jing was overheard by Li Mingyou, his face became a little ugly.

"Shopkeeper Li, I'm just telling the truth."

Sun Ping replied, still choosing to be tough.

Li Mingyou walked over slowly and said: "Shopkeeper Sun, I'm sorry about the business, and I understand, but you shouldn't take it out on me, but you should think of ways to solve this problem. You can't do it because of the boss." That's great, just let the boss handle everything, you are the shopkeeper of the cloth shop."

These few words left Sun Ping speechless and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Su Jing said lightly: "Forget it, Sun Ping, you can go back."

Sun Ping was obviously no match for Li Mingyou, and Su Jing didn't let him stay any longer.

Sun Ping was a little angry, but he still had to listen to Su Jing's words: "Yes, boss."

Sun Ping carried the food box and left the courtyard.

When he walked next to Li Mingyou, Sun Ping did not forget to warn: "Li Mingyou, you'd better not have any evil intentions!"

Li Mingyou smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Sun misunderstood, I am helping my boss."

Sun Ping snorted coldly, said no more, and left the courtyard.

Li Mingyou took a few steps forward and said to Su Jing: "My boss, I'm glad you did not disgrace your order. I have completed what you asked me to do."

Su Jing nodded and said: "Yes, Shopkeeper Li, this is all thanks to you. Otherwise, people will gossip about me tomorrow. Fortunately, I have you."

Li Mingyou immediately said: "As for the boss, this little thing is what I should do. It is my expectation that the boss is good. It is my honor to solve the problem for the boss."

Su Jing glanced at Li Mingyou, with a faint smile on her lips, but she didn't say anything else.
