Chapter 649 The thief is an acquaintance?
On the tenth day of the lunar new year, the doors were open for business, and on the ninth day of the ninth day, everyone returned to the town to prepare for the opening of the doors.As soon as Lin Yuan's carriage arrived at the door of the store, she saw a lot of people gathered in front of Mo Sanniang's cloth store opposite. Looking carefully, they were all the bosses who were doing business together on the same street.

"Sister Mo, what's the matter? What happened?" Lin Yuan hurried over to ask Mo Sanniang's store, worried that someone might be making trouble in Mo Sanniang's shop.

Mo Sanniang was standing in front of her shop with a gloomy face, staring at the mess in the room in a daze.No matter what others said or asked, she didn't say a word. Everyone thought she had been hit, and hurriedly persuaded her in a gentle voice.

Hearing Lin Yuan's voice, Mo Sanniang came back to her senses, turned around and gave her a forced smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.

She didn't speak, and Lin Yuan could see the clues from the scene in front of her. The cloth shop was in a mess, with cloth and some ready-made clothes scattered on the floor, and the counter was even more messy. It was turned upside down, and the few pieces of broken silver and some copper plates that were originally placed inside had long since disappeared.

This is patronized by thieves.

Lin Yuan's face sank, her first reaction was that this Li Chang felt itchy again, was the lesson from last time not enough?The New Year's Eve didn't manage Zhuma Town well.

"Has everyone's shop been stolen too?"

Lin Yuan looked at the owners of several other shops, and saw that they were all shaking their heads, and she was relieved.But it was only for a moment, but it was brought up again immediately.In the entire West Street, there are thirty or forty shops open for business, some have better business than Mo Sanniang, and some have poorer business, and there are even a lot of shops opened by a woman like her.Then why did that thief pick her specifically?

"Sister Mo, is the door not closed properly?"

Mo Sanniang shook her head, and glanced at Lin Yuan with dark waves in her eyes.

Lin Yuan was taken aback, seeing that she had something to say.Turning her eyes, she said to the loud voice who came with her: "Seventh sister, go back and check carefully to see if the doors and windows in the shop are strong. What if the thieves belong to the same gang? If you stole it from here, you might come to our shop tomorrow."

With a loud voice, he frowned. Didn't all the doors and windows in the shop have been repaired when the shop was closed years ago? Even Ji Dong said it was very strong, so why do you need to check it?
Although he was puzzled, he responded with a loud voice and hurried back to the store.

When Lin Yuan said this, the bosses of several other shops were also quick-witted, and hurried back to the shop to check.

All of a sudden, all the people around the cloth shop left, only Lin Yuan, Mo Sanniang, and Meng Liangdong who came to help were left.

Seeing Meng Liangdong, Lin Yuan thought of something and asked, "Mr. Meng, haven't you lived in Daohuaxiang all the time? Have you noticed anything unusual, or seen any suspicious people?"

Meng Liangdong didn't have a home, and the only shop was given to Lin Yuan, so Lin Yuan let him live in the shop during the Chinese New Year, firstly to give him a place to stay, and secondly, he could help look after the shop.Although there is nothing valuable in the store, it is more reassuring to have someone guarding it than no one.

It's just that they didn't expect that there was no accident in their store, but something happened in Mo Sanniang's store.The two stores are not facing each other, but they are not far away. If there is any loud noise here, Meng Liangdong should be able to hear it.

However, to Lin Yuan's disappointment, Meng Liangdong really didn't hear it.

"This, this." Meng Liangdong hesitated with a red face, looked at Lin Yuan and Mo Sanniang, his throat slipped, and finally squeezed out a few words: "That, I, when I was here, did not something happened."

What is "while I am"?Lin Yuan looked puzzled, and looked at Mo Sanniang's red face that was almost as red as a monkey's butt, what else did she not understand?
No way, these two people are so open?

Lin Yuan looked at the two of them ambiguously, and looked at Mo Sanniang even more blushing, and then looked at her little eyes that seemed to be smiling, and Mo Sanniang let out an ouch, and quickly explained to her: "You, Don't think about it. During the Chinese New Year, I, my parents saw that he was really lonely by himself, so let him go to my house to spend the New Year. That's all, nothing else. "

As she talked, Mo Sanniang felt her voice was getting quieter, and her eyes also looked here and there, but she didn't dare to look up at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Well, there should be nothing else but to see him alone, so let him celebrate the New Year together. It must be very late for the New Year. Since it is late, then Just stay at home overnight.

puff.

Lin Yuan covered her mouth and grinned, turned her elbow on Mo Sanniang's body, and asked a little wickedly: "It seems that your parents like this son-in-law very much."

The corner of Mo Sanniang's lips curled up. Even though she didn't speak, the meaning was self-evident.

At the beginning, Lin Yuan was worried that Mo Sanniang's parents would dislike Meng Liangdong. After all, this Meng Liangdong was a bit pedantic, and he didn't have his own family. It would definitely be inconvenient for them to get married.However, Meng Liangdong also has his own advantages. First of all, he values ​​love and righteousness, unlike that Xie Zhiyuan, who has been waiting for him for several years, but he doesn't take it to heart at all. He is ungrateful.

Closer to home, since Daohuaxiang was robbed, Meng Liangdong has become more vigilant. He said that nothing happened when he was there, so it means nothing happened.In this way, it can be confirmed that the theft of the cloth shop should be when Meng Liangdong was celebrating the festival at Mo's house, that is, during the three days from New Year's Eve to the second day of the new year.

Lin Yuan looked inside the store again, and found that there was no sign of the door being smashed, and there was no sign of the doors and windows being pried open inside the store. In this way, how did the thief get in?Why does it look more and more like this thief has the key to the store and entered the door openly?
Lin Yuan blinked: "Sister Mo, let's report to the officials. Don't touch the things in this store. When the officials arrive, I'd better check them to see if there are any clues left by the thieves."

"Well, Yuan'er, why don't you just forget about it. There is nothing valuable missing from the store, so why don't you report it to the police?" Mo Sanniang was halfway through her words when she saw Lin Yuan squinting her eyes and tilting her head. For herself, Mo Sanniang's tongue was tied, and she pursed her lips a little guilty: "Yuan'er, you, why are you looking at me like this? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"Sister Mo, stop pretending, you don't want me to report to the police, do you know something? Do you know who this thief is, right?"

Mo Sanniang was taken aback, her face turned pale.

Meng Liangdong looked at Lin Yuan, then at Mo Sanniang, and said a little excitedly: "Sanniang, do you really know who it is? That's easy to say, let's go to the Yamen to report to the officials and let the officials arrest them. If we find the cloth from our shop in that man's house, we can convict him."

"Liangdong, I can't go!" Mo Sanniang became excited, and tightly grabbed Meng Liangdong's arm, lest he run to the yamen immediately on a whim.

"Why can't you go?"

Lin Yuan and Meng Liangdong exclaimed at the same time.

Mo Sanniang was a little embarrassed: "You guys, don't ask, anyway, it's just a few pieces of cloth and a few taels of silver, which are worthless at all, why should we go because of such a trivial matter..."

"A member of the Xie family?" Lin Yuan interrupted her suddenly, and the room was silent.

A member of the Xie family, could it be Xie Zhiyuan?
Meng Liangdong unconsciously dropped Mo Sanniang's hand, looking at his favorite woman with a complicated expression.

Mo Sanniang bit her lip, and quickly explained: "Yes, it's them, but don't get me wrong, Liang Dong, I don't want you to report to the police, not because I still have feelings for Xie Zhiyuan, but because I really can't bear it At such an old age, she will still be taken into prison and subjected to those inhuman tortures."

so old?
"It turned out to be Mrs. Xie, but how did you know it was her, not Xie Zhiyuan?"

Lin Yuan's words also revealed the doubts in Meng Liangdong's heart.

Mo Sanniang sighed, and said helplessly: "Besides me and Liang Dong, only she has the key to this shop. That was when I was in contact with Xie Zhiyuan, in order to win her Huanxin, let her accept the matter between me and Xie Zhiyuan, so I gave her the key to the shop, and said that as long as she was happy, she could come over to pick out the cloth anytime, and take whatever she liked. But after falling out with Xie Zhiyuan , I have already forgotten about this incident, if I hadn’t seen that the doors and windows in the store were intact today, I would not have remembered that there was such an incident.”

If you give the key, give it the key, but Mo Sanniang also said that you can take whatever you like, isn't it obvious that you want people to move things casually?With her words, even if they found Xie Shi, they couldn't do anything to Xie Shi.

It's just that Mrs. Xie is really cheeky, she has nothing to do with Mo Sanniang, and she has the nerve to secretly open the door to get things with someone else's key. she?
"The skin is almost as thick as the city wall!" I was really upset that I couldn't deal with the thief.Lin Yuan pouted unhappily, "Change the lock!"

Judging from Xie's behavior today, even if they came to the door to ask for the key, this woman who was greedy for petty gain would definitely not hand it over.Instead of going to the door to get angry, it is better to change the locks in the store directly, so that there will be no future troubles!
Mo Sanniang nodded: "I have already made this plan just now. If I had thought of giving her the key earlier, I would have replaced the lock a long time ago. Hey, it's all my fault, otherwise it wouldn't have happened today. thing."

Meng Liangdong held her hand tightly, and said in relief: "It's not your fault, it's Xie's fault. Who would have thought that she would actually come to the store to pick up things while you were away. What was even more surprising Yes, even the silver was taken away."

Meng Liangdong shook his head again and again, this kind of person really refreshed everyone's latest view on shamelessness.

Mo Sanniang also held Meng Liangdong's hand back, she was really worried that he might misunderstand her and still had unrequited love for Xie Zhiyuan, but now it seems that it should be all right, Meng Liangdong still believes in her.

Sensing Mo Sanniang's gaze, Meng Liangdong raised his head, hesitating whether to speak or not.Lin Yuan saw that he had something to say, so she asked casually.

Meng Liangdong looked at Mo Sanniang cautiously: "Well, after I came back from your house, I, I heard something about it, thank you Zhiyuan."

"His business has nothing to do with me, and I'm not in the mood to listen to his news."

Lin Yuan grinned and asked, "Mr. Meng, tell me first whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. If it's a good thing, forget it. It's annoying to hear. If it's a bad thing, hehe, just tell us and let us hear it. It's good to relieve the mood."

Mo Sanniang laughed happily, and stretched out her hand to poke her hard on the forehead: "You, why don't you look down on others like this?"

This is not true, this honor only belongs to Xie Zhiyuan, if it is someone else's, she still hopes that everyone will live a comfortable life.

Meng Liangdong swallowed: "If you say that, then you should listen to it."

It seems not a good thing!Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, she was very much looking forward to what bad things happened to Xie Zhiyuan again.

"I also heard from the ladies on the street that Xie Zhiyuan couldn't let Mrs. Xie go home during the Chinese New Year, and Ma Xiaoqian didn't allow him to send things to her mother-in-law. Mrs. Xie's life this year was not only desolate, but also very difficult. "

Lin Yuan interrupted him, curling her lips in disdain: "No wonder she has the audacity to come to the store to steal things."

"Yuan'er!" Mo Sanniang shook her head at her, signaling Meng Liangdong to continue.

"The bleakness of this year is not only Xie's, that Xie Zhiyuan's life is not good. On New Year's Eve, because he secretly looked at his mother, Ma Xiaoqian blocked the door, and that sturdy woman actually made him kneel in the snow. Bansu. On New Year's Eve, it snowed that night, hey, this Xie Zhiyuan is really unlucky, the man has gold under his knees!"

Meng Liangdong was still lamenting that good men don't kneel down easily, but Lin Yuan gave him a hard look. This idiot still sympathizes with Xie Zhiyuan. If Xie Zhiyuan is not so unlucky, you can still live together with Mo Sanniang ?
"Also, Ma Xiaoqian took Xie Zhiyuan back to her mother's house in Majiazhuang after New Year greetings on the first day of the lunar new year. No, it's been almost half a month, and she hasn't come back yet! Those ladies heard Xie say that this Ma Xiaoqian had long thought of letting Xie Zhiyuan join Ma's family, but Xie Zhiyuan was a scholar, with a tough back, and he refused to agree to marry before he got married. Unexpectedly, after getting married, he still could not escape the fate of marrying! "

No wonder Ma Xiaoqian is going to marry Meng Liangdong, but Xie Zhiyuan can't blame Ma Xiaoqian for becoming the son-in-law. If Xie's wife hadn't taken a liking to the Ma family, who is the latest rich family, they would definitely not agree to Ma Xiaoqian's entry .

Ma Xiaoqian is the only daughter in the family, and has a violent temper. When she was in the Xie family, she had already forced her husband to deny her mother.Now that Xie Zhiyuan went to the Ma's house instead, he must not be allowed to act recklessly, this Xie family, it is really a waste of raising such a son!

From what Mo Sanniang heard about the Xie family, it was the same as where she bought something from anywhere on the street, and she couldn't get any other emotions at all.

Mo Sanniang tidied up all the cloth in the store one by one, and Meng Liangdong went to the old iron shop to buy a ready-made lock and came back. The previous lock was no longer usable, so he threw it in the backyard.

After the fifteenth day, Meng Liangdong will go to the school to teach the children, so Daohuaxiang will not have an accountant.Originally, Lin Yuan planned to recruit another accountant, but she suddenly thought of someone, that was Uncle Wang who made cakes in the back kitchen. She remembered that Uncle Wang used to do small business in the village, and he was literate , So after asking Uncle Wang what he meant, Lin Yuan entrusted Uncle Wang with the important task of Mr. Daohuaxiang accountant.

Simply, after several months of experience, the few people in the back kitchen have been able to successfully make very delicious pastries that meet Lin Yuan's requirements. Even if Uncle Wang is not in the back kitchen, they have already been able to take charge of their own.

As for the school, Meng Liangdong has sorted out all the books that the children should study in the past few days during the Chinese New Year, and has also carefully considered how to teach them.Therefore, Lin Yuan was very relieved about this new gentleman.

The problem that needs to be solved is the students' books.Although Xia Zheng hasn't come back yet, Lin Yuan has received his letter from Feige as early as the first day of junior high school, and His Majesty has entrusted him with the job of printing the book, so the cooperation with Majiazhuang can begin up.

Majiazhuang also specially set up a kiln for firing movable type templates, and school will start in five or six days, so they have to make the books they need first.Time was tight, and it was impossible to get all the books out, so we had to print the ones needed for the start of school first, and then slowly burn the others.

Because Xia Zheng had promised not to meet Ma Junying alone, Lin Yuan handed over this matter to Shopkeeper Liu and Meng Liangdong.Meng Liangdong was responsible for selecting the first needed articles and checking the correctness of the movable type templates, while shopkeeper Liu was responsible for all the remaining affairs.

With the new year and new atmosphere, in order to pursue business excellence, Lin Yuan specially prepared some new changes for several shops.

Daohuaxiang's pastry has already made a name for itself in Zhuma Town, and it seems to have replaced the century-old bakery as the best pastry shop in Zhuma Town. Even the pastry shops in the surrounding towns are not as good as Daohuaxiang's.

After successively launching several pumpkin cakes and waterless cakes, Lin Yuan launched milk jelly and various drinks successively.Ice cubes are needed to make panna cotta, so the ice cubes that shopkeeper Liu had prepared years ago came in handy.

When Lin Yuan sent someone to shopkeeper Liu to fetch ice cubes, shopkeeper Liu was taken aback. How could he have thought that in just a few days, the new owner had already figured out how to use ice cubes.

As for various drinks, it is even simpler, because it is still winter, and many fresh fruits cannot be obtained.So they can only make some seasonal fruit drinks.For example, apple cider vinegar marinated with apples and white vinegar is different from traditional apple cider vinegar, but the taste is still similar.

In addition to apple cider vinegar, there is also hawthorn juice. Adding other alcohols of various strengths to hawthorn juice can make various drinks.Moreover, these new drinks are obviously very popular, and customers often go back with several boxes after they come.
