A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family

Chapter 94 Conspiracy

In a room upstairs in Fugui Building, Lu Laosan looked at the gloomy shopkeeper Zeng, handed him a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile: "Brother Zeng, how are you? Isn't the younger brother right? Those stores People are just thorns in the side, and it’s very difficult to deal with.”

Shopkeeper Zeng took the hot tea from Lu Laosan, took a sip, slammed the tea cup onto the table, and said angrily: "The Gu family is really shameless."

He paid forty taels of silver, but they didn't sell it. It was just a few scraps, and it was worth such a treasure. He was really angry.

Lu Laosan glanced at Chef Li, with a smile on his lips, then looked at Shopkeeper Zeng and said, "Brother Zeng, don't be angry, those families live in Dafeng Village, and Dafeng Village is the territory of my Lu family. If they dare to refuse Brother Zeng’s request, I will go find them when they return to the village to vent their anger on Brother Zeng.”

The Lu Laosan who spoke was the third son of Mr. Lu. Shopkeeper Zeng couldn't help but go to the Gu family's tofu stall today to ask for the recipe. Lu Laosan had a share of the credit.

Lu Laosan told Shopkeeper Zeng in a sarcastic manner that the tofu stall was very profitable, earning nearly one hundred taels of silver in just over half a month. Fuguilou only made about 200 taels a month, but that shabby tofu stall made 100 taels in half a month, which was simply unbelievable.

Lu Laosan also said that the tofu is fresh and unique in the whole He'an Prefecture. If they can get the recipe, they can not only make a lot of money, but also dedicate the recipe to the county magistrate and make a great contribution. Shopkeeper Zeng You can be promoted and transferred to a restaurant in the county or prefectural city.

Although Qingfu Town is good, in the final analysis it is just a town. How can it be as lively as the county seat?

Shopkeeper Zeng was persuaded by Lu Laosan and took Chef Li, who was very interested in tofu, to the Gu family's tofu stall to buy their recipe, but the Gu family didn't sell it. It was really unreasonable.

When Chef Li heard what Lu Laosan said, he knew that the Lu family was very domineering in Dafeng Village, so he hurriedly said: "Lu San, you can't act recklessly. If you ruin the reputation of the county magistrate, I won't spare you."

Zou Xiancheng has been the county magistrate for decades and has great influence in Tianfu County. He will not pay attention to several victims who are fleeing famine, but Mrs. Zou cares about her reputation.

Mrs. Zou’s eldest son has already achieved the reputation of being a scholar. As long as the Zou family is more open and clear, after the Zou County Prime Minister retires, the position of the County Prime Minister will fall to Mrs. Zou’s son.

Chef Li and his family were brought by Mrs. Zou from her natal family, so they naturally wanted to help Mrs. Zou.

As for the Lu family, Chef Li doesn't like them. They are just a concubine's natal family, and they still act like the county prime minister's family. How can they have the dignity?

Lu Laosan knew that Chef Li was Mrs. Zou's son, and he disliked him very much. When he heard this, he said dissatisfiedly: "Old Li, what you said is wrong. Now it's not us who want to embarrass the Gu family, it's the Gu family who is giving face." Shameless, it’s just a few bad prescriptions, we paid for them, but they still don’t sell them, so naturally we have to teach them a lesson, lest they think this is the northwest and let them be arrogant.”

The victims of the disaster should behave like disaster victims, with their tail between their legs and their body bent. But Qin Guluotian and his family were too stubborn. They had been in the village for almost a month, but they only gave them a new year gift for the Lu family on the first day of the new year, and nothing else. They were very arrogant.

 And before the Lu family has broken their pride, they dare to start a tofu business, make money, and buy a yard. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Lu family?

If the Lu family doesn't show some respect to these other families, then people in Dafeng Village will follow these families in the future. How can the Lu family still walk sideways in the village?

The Lu family is aiming for the position of village chief. They must make all the villagers obedient and obedient without any thorns.

Chef Li frowned and pointed directly at Lu Laosan: "Lu San, don't try to persuade Shopkeeper Zeng. Honestly, do you, the Lu family, want this tofu recipe?"

Chef Li hit what Lu Laosan was thinking, but Lu Laosan refused to admit it and said with a smile: "Old Li, what you said is wrong. Our Lu family wants to dedicate this tofu recipe to the county magistrate. But I never thought of keeping it private.”

To be honest, when he knew that the Gu family's tofu stall was doing very well, he did think about monopolizing this recipe. But his father said that his sister was just a concubine in the Zou Mansion. The Lu family relied on Zou County Cheng, so they couldn't keep this recipe for themselves, they had to give it to the County Cheng. He could only suppress the thought of swallowing the tofu recipe alone. In order to get the prescription, he also asked He Dacai and a few gangsters to find trouble for the Gu family girl, hoping to make the Gu family compromise. As long as they hand over the recipe and listen to their Lu family in everything, their Lu family will no longer embarrass them in the future.

Unexpectedly, those families were so cruel that they beat He Dacai and the others so hard that they couldn't get out of bed, and they had to lie in the house for half a month.

His father said that those families were **** and had skills in their hands, so he came to the town to find Shopkeeper Zeng and persuaded Shopkeeper Zeng to think about the tofu recipe.

Chef Li didn't believe what Lu Laosan said. He wanted to speak but was stopped by Shopkeeper Zeng. Shopkeeper Zeng said: "Old Li, Brother Lu is the biological brother of Aunt Lu. For the sake of Aunt Lu, the Third Young Master and the Fifth Miss, the Third Brother Lu also I wouldn’t have such thoughts.”

Shopkeeper Zeng looked at Lu Laosan and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Just take it easy and don't make it too embarrassing."

This is what Lu Laosan was waiting for: "Okay, Brother Zeng, don't worry, our Lu family will not bully others. After I go back, I will tell them carefully that for the sake of the people in the same village, they will definitely give Lu For the sake of my family, hand over that prescription."

With the words of Shopkeeper Zeng, the Lu family can use the name of County Prime Minister to put pressure on the Gu family. If the Gu family really makes trouble in the Yamen, and the County Prime Minister asks about it, they can push the matter to Zeng The shopkeeper said it was the tofu recipe that shopkeeper Zeng asked the Lu family to snatch.

Lu Laosan quickly left and returned to the village.

Chef Li was very worried that Lu Laosan would do something outrageous. After he left, he said to Shopkeeper Zeng: "Lao Zeng, how can you leave this matter to him? He said he would buy the house, do you believe it? ? Did the Lu family buy it with money that time?"

Shopkeeper Zeng said nonchalantly: "The Lu family's robbery is the Lu family's business. It has nothing to do with us. We promised to pay for the son from the beginning. If the Lu family really brings the prescription, we will give him forty The two pieces of silver are considered as money for the buyer, and the rest is none of our business."

Lu Laosan is shrewd in calculations, and Shopkeeper Zeng is even shrewder than him. They only want the prescription, no matter who gets it, they will pay for it. As long as the money is given, it will be enough. If you want to cause trouble to them again, it will be impossible.

 After shopkeeper Zeng finished speaking, he didn’t give Chef Li a chance to speak and asked him to go to the kitchen to work.

Chef Li was very worried about this matter. He went home at night and told his wife what happened during the day.

Chef Li's mother-in-law, Mrs. Ge, said: "Don't worry about this matter for now. Let them make trouble first. When something happens, we will tell the madam. The madam can also take the opportunity to punish Aunt Lu, which is only good for us." No harm.”

Aunt Lu is very clever. She has been in the Zou Mansion for twenty years and she is still favored. Madam has long wanted to get rid of Aunt Lu. If the Lu family really does something that affects Zou County Cheng, that would be the best.

When Chef Li heard this, he put aside the tofu recipe and waited until the Lu family took action.
