Chapter 130 Something's Wrong (Part [-])
Things here came to an end, and there is nothing to do here, Su Tang is going to pack up and go back to Fufengzhai, and come back when it opens.

The strawberries on the island are probably ripe by now, waiting for her to eat them.

When I returned to the Fulai Inn at night, it was dinner time. Since Su Tang sold the lemon to the shopkeeper, more people came to the inn to eat than before.

In this era of food shortage and lack of snacks, a strange new food will attract many people's pursuit, such as honey lemonade, the sweet and sour taste even Su Tang who has tasted all kinds of food can't stop, let alone It's the people here.

One or two lemons can make a big pot, and it is not expensive to sell. Many people are willing to come back after drinking it, which makes the business of Fulai Inn to a higher level. The shopkeeper is happy from ear to ear. He simply regards Su Tang as the lucky star of the inn.

When the shopkeeper saw Su Tang coming back from the outside, he rubbed his hands nervously and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Have you two eaten? What would you like to eat tonight?"

"I'm going to come back to eat." Su Tang smiled. Seeing that the shopkeeper is so attentive, it is likely that he has something to look for her.

The shopkeeper quickly said, "What do you want to eat, I'll treat you to this meal."

"Just eat whatever you want." Su Tang was not polite.

"The lobby is too noisy, both of you go back to your room first, and I'll take you there later." The shopkeeper invited him upstairs, and went to work in the backyard.

After a while, there was a knock on Su Tang's door, and Su Tang smiled knowingly, "Yingyue, go and open the door, let him send it in."

"Send it in?" Yingyue confirmed, she was the one who brought the food in before, and didn't let them enter the house at will.

"Yes." If Su Tang's guess is correct, the food delivery person must be the shopkeeper, and he might want to have a conversation with her.

Yingyue opened the door and invited people in. The shopkeeper brought roasted mutton, stir-fried vegetables, and small snacks. White rice was placed on the table. Eating these at night was quite a luxury.

Many people are reluctant to eat a meal of white rice every year, and they still eat brown rice and wheat with the skin on, because it makes them more full.

"I also prepared delicious food for Jingtuan, it's in the backyard." The shopkeeper said looking at Jingtuan beside him.

Jing Tuan was not in a hurry, and was going to eat after he left. This man had a smirk on his face, he didn't look like a good guy, he had to watch it.

"But the lemons are almost used up?" Su Tang asked.

The shopkeeper stood aside and smiled awkwardly, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you. I didn't expect this fruit to be so popular. If you still have it, I want to buy some more."

He had looked for it face to face, and asked about it, but he said he didn't know this fruit called lemon, and he didn't know where it came from, and he couldn't buy it. Now he can only come to Su Tang to ask.

"Yes, how much do you want?" Lemons are related to the shopkeeper's business, so it's no wonder he is so concerned.

"Twenty stones." The shopkeeper said carefully, he was afraid that he would talk too much and Su Tang wouldn't have it anymore, after all, this thing is quite rare, and he doesn't know how it grew.

"Then why don't you ask someone to move it up tomorrow." Su Tang replied.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed, and quickly took out a 100 tael bank note and handed it to Su Tang, "From now on, there will be no charge for the girl to stay in the store. This upper room is reserved for the girl, and she can come to live whenever she wants." Row."

Su Tang is a noble man, he brought him a lot of ways to make money, if he goes to another inn next time, it will be troublesome, and the rent is free to keep the noble man, this is a good deal.

The shopkeeper walked out of the room under the watchful eyes of the startled group, and closed the door carefully. This time he learned how to be clever. He wanted to see how Su Tang transported so many fruits upstairs, and took the little girl for a night. Sleeping, guarding the door and window.

Su Tang and the others left the room early in the morning and went back to Fufengzhai. The shopkeeper saw them walking away, so he hurried upstairs to have a look. He was very sure that no one came to deliver the fruit last night, and there was nothing unusual.

When he ran upstairs and pushed open the door, a mountain of lemons almost filled the entire room, which made his legs weak in fright.

"Damn it." The shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat, "Could it be that it fell from the roof?"

Xiao Er, who followed him all night, said with a trembling voice, "The roof is not broken, it must be true, shopkeeper, no one outside knows this fruit, and so many people love to drink it, it's weird, don't drink it." Is there something wrong, the evil things in the storybook are all so weird."

"Nonsense," the shopkeeper scolded, "We have no problem selling this fruit for a few days, but the girl still drinks it herself. There is no evil. The girl must have brought it up in some way, but we don't know it. , don’t guess, it’s definitely because we don’t want us to know the origin of the fruit, and to grab her business.”

Even he himself didn't quite believe this statement, but he couldn't help but sell it and make money, "Quick, move to the backyard."

How did he get it here? He didn't blink last night, and there was nothing unusual about it. Besides, there must be movement when transporting so many fruits, which is really strange.

Naturally, Su Tang didn't know about the little trouble caused by the lemon fruit in the Fulai Inn.

At this time, she went to the production plant on the South Bank for a tour. Yasu and Rongjin brought people to build kilns and houses, and brought some old masters from Fufengzhai to recruit people for training. It is estimated that even if mass production cannot start at the end of the month, Already on track.

Those old masters are dedicated to their duties one by one. They did not expect that the poor who were waiting to die in the first place, after settling down in Fufengzhai and learning the crafts, are now working as managers. In just one year, their lives have spanned several stages.

The guards that Su Tang asked Lin Qing to train before also came in handy, guarding the outside of the factory to prevent suspicious persons from approaching.

In order to prevent people from getting in, the staff working inside will issue a special small sign with their names and stick figures on it. They will be checked and checked every day at work before they are put in. Those who are suspicious will be arrested and interrogated. Strive to keep the work confidential and do your best.

In addition, the production of the product adopts the assembly line method, and one person is only responsible for one process. Ordinary employees have no chance to touch the entire production process and the production of glazes and pigments, let alone worry about them leaking out.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, Su Tang is very relieved and satisfied with this, so she took Yingyue happily back to Fufeng Village, and the strawberries she planted seemed to beckoning to her again.

Before the cargo ship arrived at the pier, she saw Wu Chong standing there waiting for her. She thought in her heart that nothing would happen to her. She really wanted to pick strawberries and wait until the mall opened easily.

"Village Master, something is wrong recently!" Wu Chong saw Su Tang getting off the boat and said to meet him.

"What's wrong?" Su Tang sighed secretly, as expected, it's not easy to live a peaceful life.
