At this moment, Zhang Buzheng called the waiter over.

"I heard that Chunfeng Restaurant has recently released new dishes and medicinal foods. People around me said they are good, so I held a banquet here to entertain everyone."

"Your Majesty, you are so polite. We should have invited you in the first place, why would you waste your money?"

The waiter said this.

They are all doing business here, and they need to be taken care of by the county magistrate, so even if he eats and drinks for free, there is no problem.

Zhang Buzheng was still talking loudly.

"You don't have to be restrained, just drink and eat. You have found me a profitable business, and I have to thank you very much."

Lin Chujiu Lin Chu knew that the county magistrate was coming, so he naturally cooked the food himself and prepared to serve it when it was ready.

"The county magistrate's first visit to our Chunfeng Restaurant really made our restaurant shine. I personally cooked a dish and specially served it. This is the specialty of our restaurant. Please give me some thin noodles."

When he saw that Lin Chujiu was so beautiful and well-spoken, and that as his boss, he actually gave him such great respect, Zhang Buzheng immediately beamed with joy.

"The dishes in your restaurant are good and taste good. The most important thing is that they are not expensive. I will definitely come and patronize them frequently in the future."

"Thank you, Lord Magistrate, so the common people won't bother you too much." After saying that, Lin Chujiu quietly retreated.

When she went out, she found Ouyang Hong eavesdropping in a corner on the second floor.

I remembered that Yuan Jing had reminded him that Mr. Ouyang was from the capital, Ouyang Hong was his subordinate, Zhang Bu was the magistrate of this county, and these two groups of people actually got together.

Lin Chujiu shook his head and walked down the stairs.

Ouyang Hong followed closely behind. He didn't hear any useful news, and he was afraid of disturbing the situation, so he had no choice but to leave.

This group of people are really clever. During the meal, they didn't mention anything except flattery and flattery.

It can be seen that Zhang Buzheng is a shrewd person himself, and the people around him are naturally aware of it.

After Ouyang Hong returned, he sat next to Ouyang Jianxiu.

He told them all about the few sentences he had just heard. After listening, Ouyang Jianxiu frowned.

"What kind of business can a county magistrate do?"

Ouyang Jianxiu thought about it and remembered the secret order he had received before.

The people Zhang Buzheng was treating to dinner this time were all business people. Collusion between government and businessmen must be a serious matter.

And as a county magistrate, would Zhang Buzheng personally participate in their business?

"These people are all businessmen. Next, you have to check their incoming and outgoing accounts. The source of funds must be clear."

Silver will definitely flow. As long as you follow the direction of the flow of silver, you can always find the source.

Soon, Zhang Buzheng left the restaurant after eating, and Lin Chujiu and Qian Lang saw him off in person.

When Lin Chujiu arrived, he asked politely: "Master County Magistrate, do you think our food is good? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

"It's done well." Zhang Buzheng opened his mouth to praise, then looked back at the signboard, "The dishes at Chunfeng Restaurant are good, I like them very much."

In the next few days, Chunfeng Tower's business was very prosperous because it received praise from the county magistrate.

After staying in the county for almost half a month, Lin Chujiu decided to go home for a visit.

Before leaving, she went to Hongfu Building to find Boss Wang and planned to say goodbye briefly.

Boss Wang felt a little shocked: "Your restaurant here is so profitable, why do you just throw away your sleeves and leave?"

"I am here mainly to make medicated diet. Since medicated diet has been promoted, I have to take care of my family affairs." Lin Chujiu explained, "I also wish Boss Wang a prosperous business." Boss Wang said with a smile: " If I were you, I would take root in the county. How good is the business in the county? Besides, you and Chunfeng Tower are just a partnership. If you don’t come to my place, will I give you double the share? "

"Ahem." At this time, Qian Lang was still standing on the side. Hearing Boss Wang's words, his expression was a little unhappy, "You are poaching in front of me, are you too shady?"

"Oh, am I kidding?" Boss Wang smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Since you are leaving, I have to give you a good send-off. Now, go to our private room upstairs and I will send someone to Prepare meals and leave when you are full."

Seeing Boss Wang's hospitality, Lin Chujiu didn't intend to refuse. Anyway, the two companies now have a cooperative relationship.

When all the dishes were served, Boss Wang was very happy and drank a lot one cup after another.

At the dinner, he said to Lin Chujiu sincerely: "Although your town is good, I think the county is more prosperous. There are many merchants here and business is easy to do."

"Miss Lin, aren't you considering moving to the county to start a business?"

“When you come here, you will make more money.”

When Lin Chujiu heard this, she felt that although it made sense, she also had her own thoughts.

"Making money is addictive. Of course I also want to make some money, but I have a contract with Boss Qian and I won't break my promise easily."

Upon hearing this, Boss Wang waved his hands repeatedly.

"That's not what I meant. Real money is not as simple as opening another restaurant. You are also in business. For us restaurant owners, what is the most difficult thing to make? It's salt!"

Although salt is not subject to purchase restrictions, it is expensive.

And although coarse salt is cheap, it is not that delicious when used in dishes, which makes people feel a little embarrassed.

"I have a way here where I can buy cheap and good salt."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

Qian Lang was drinking, but now he was so frightened that he woke up and quickly covered Boss Wang's mouth.

"Stop talking, waiter, bring me the hangover soup!"

Boss Wang is talking about nothing else, but the business of reselling illegal salt. If the officials find out about this, they will be arrested.

Moreover, those around them who knew the truth and failed to report it must also be punished.

Qian Lang just came here to see how his business was going, and didn't want to get involved in the private salt reselling business.

If you are implicated, it will be troublesome.

It doesn’t matter how much money you make, the main thing is that you have to make money with your life.

But Boss Wang was in the mood for drinking, and when he saw someone covering his mouth, he immediately became unhappy.

"What are you doing? Is what others said wrong?"

Yuan Jing was about to stand up and speak, but his subconscious reaction stunned him.

Everyone present advised Boss Wang not to speak, but his first reaction was to arrest Boss Wang and torture him.

"This kind of business won't last long." Lin Wenshan interrupted the farce first, and Yuan Jing also woke up.

Yes, everyone else was trying to persuade Boss Wang not to engage in the business of reselling illegal salt, but his idea was to arrest him.

In other words, his former identity may be related to the interrogation of prisoners.

How ridiculous.

But the waiter was also quick, and the hangover soup was quickly served.
