Taking advantage of Chen Jun’s efforts to buy salt, Xu Cinian called for all the employees of the site to took out all the Houttuynia cordata stored in the warehouse together.
These pre-stored seedlings are all “defective products” specially selected in the field. Of course, this defective product does not mean that the quality is not good, such as rotting and deterioration, but is compared with the carefully cultivated in Xu Cinian’s field. For the high-quality seedlings, they are too weak or overripe, and are no longer suitable for breeding as seedlings, but the efficacy and quality are still very good, so they were specially selected and sold as medicinal materials after drying.
Although Xu Cinian said to Xu Xinnian that he would sell him the best seedlings in the field, he was not a fool in his heart. Even if the seedlings in his field were taken to participate in the agricultural product competition, they were all of the best quality varieties. Not to mention selling it to the Xu family, even if they touched it, they would feel distressed, that is, Chen Jun’s silly boy would believe what he said to coax Xu Xinnian.
He was thinking in his heart that all the tens of thousands of Houttuynia cordata in the warehouse had been soaked into the pond. At this time, Chen Jun’s salt was also bought.
He poured bag after bag of salt into the pond, lowered his head and tasted it, but it was still not salty enough, and then asked a group of people to buy back all the survival in the whole canteen, poured it into the water at one go, and waited until it was in the water. He couldn’t melt any more salt, and when it all settled to the bottom of the water, Xu Cinian clapped his hands and straightened his waist.
“Okay, let’s just soak it like this, and wait until tomorrow morning to take it out to dry the water, and then we can deliver it to the Xu family.”
An employee next to him pointed at the Houttuynia cordata in the pond and opened his mouth, “Boss, That’s it? Don’t say it’s the Xu family. If I were the buyer, I wouldn’t want it. Boss, are you mistaken?
The “defective products” that have been in the warehouse for a period of time are considered to be soaked. In the water, the surface has lost its original fresh green, and it has become dark and wilted. It doesn’t look like the “high-quality seedlings” promised by Xu Cinian. Then Xu Xinnian is not a fool, he can’t tell if it’s good or bad?
Xu Cinian smiled, “This is just the first step. After two hours of soaking, you can add 50 degrees of warm water. Remember that it must be 50 degrees, neither high nor low.
“Confused, they didn’t know what medicine the boss was selling in his stomach, and Chen Jun, who guessed Xu Cinian’s thoughts next to him, smiled, “You should just do as Brother Xu said, and it will be the moment to witness the miracle.”
The people around were confused, but they still pressed the boss
He ordered to act separately, Xu Cinian turned around at this time, patted Chen Jun on the shoulder and said, “Tomorrow morning, you can call Xu Xinnian directly, and then bring these fishy fishy smells that have been added with ‘material’. Give it to him, remember that Xu Xinnian must inspect the goods before releasing the goods, do you understand?”
Chen Jun nodded, “Don’t worry, Brother Xu, I understand how to deal with it, I will let Xu Xinnian accept it obediently. Goods, he still don’t know he’s been tricked.”
Xu Cinian glanced at him and laughed slyly, like a white-skinned fox with a belly full of calculations.
Two hours later, the employees who were busy mixing warm water in the pond suddenly exclaimed, “Look! Why did the Houttuynia cordata suddenly turn green in this pond!?
“The crowd watched, everyone stopped their work and came over, and when they looked into the pond, their eyes widened in shock.
In the clear pond, a layer of oily green Houttuynia cordata was floating. The original yellow and black leaves were all stretched out after being soaked in salt water, restoring the original fresh and tender color, as if they had just been picked. They are all watery, take a closer look at one, the fresh ones are eager to take a bite, and there are still water droplets on them. It is completely impossible to see that these are actually “defective products” that have been stored in the warehouse for a long time.
Everyone, look at this, they can’t help but sigh in their heart: “Our boss is really a God!”
*****
After he had ordered all the things that should be explained, Xu Cinian was in a good mood. Even though his stomach was still a little churning, eating Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets had no effect, nor did it affect his cheerful mood.
*Jianwei xiaoshi is a medicine to improve digestion, increase appetite, and relieve nausea.
He walked in the direction of the resort, humming a little tune all the way. When he passed the market, he saw red apples sold by the hawker. The saliva in it was secreted uncontrollably, which made him go all the way to buy, such as fruit tannin peels, hawthorn slices, and some small snacks that he usually likes and can’t touch by himself, all in bits and pieces. Bought a big pack.
It was only when he walked back to the resort that he realized that he had nothing to do with buying these things? He must know that he has always disliked sour things, let alone snacks, and he didn’t even want to touch vinegar a few times, so why did he buy so much at once?
Xu Cinian also felt a little baffled, but after thinking about it, he thought he had bought everything. No matter what the reason was, he wanted to spend money anyway, even if he bought it back and didn’t eat it, he could take it home to Wowo, that little bastard likes snack.
""
Thinking of the little guy who was “abandoned” at home by Qu Cheng, Xu Cinian couldn’t help but twitched his lips, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number at home.
It was Luo Xiaomao who answered the phone, and when Wowo heard that it was his father calling, the whole person jumped over, grabbed the receiver and whispered, “Dad, I miss you so much~ But this time he cried.”
The little guy’s tone was full of “come and praise me, come and praise me”, Xu Cinian couldn’t help laughing, and coaxed him and said, “Yo, Wowo you are so good, you are a little man, don’t cry. That’s it, so you don’t have to be ashamed when children younger than you see it.”
“No way, I’m the eldest brother, and they all cry to me.”
At three years old, he is indeed very old. “elder brother”.
Xu Cinian laughed lowly, and continued to tease his son, “Oh, you are the big brother, so powerful? Then big brother come and kiss Dad.”
Wowo giggled, lying on the bed with her little buttocks, and kissed the microphone, for a while, he deliberately made a “MUACHH” sound, followed by another smirk, feeling that he had been approved by his father, “I’m the big brother, oh.”
Xu Cinian couldn’t help laughing, thinking about this little fool in his heart, “My dear, today Dad bought you a lot of small snacks, as well as the apples from Qingyuan, which are crunchy, sour and sweet, you must like it.”
Wowo exclaimed “wow” on the other end of the phone, and seemed to be drooling.” Well… Dad, you have to get fat sooner, don’t steal it and eat it…”
“It’s coming back, not fat.” Xu Cinian reluctantly continued to correct, “Okay, Dad will be back at home in the morning, you have to listen to Grandpa Zhong and Uncle Luo, do you hear me?”
“Hmm.” Wowo nodded and nodded over the phone, tilted his head to think about it, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten a very important thing.
“Dad, why isn’t Chengcheng here? I miss Chengcheng too.”
Xu Cinian paused at his feet, then remembered that he had no contact with Qucheng that day. He didn’t see him in the room this morning. In the afternoon, he was busy dealing with Xu Xinnian and he forgot about it. It was already night.
“Qu Cheng… He’s very busy at work, and he’s still busy now, so he can’t call you. When I see him, I’ll call him, okay?”
Wowo was a little unhappy, and pouted, “He doesn’t even want me… I hate work, and Chengcheng hates it.”
“He works to buy you snacks little idiot. If he don’t work, he won’t have money, so how can he support you?” So chubby and plum?” Xu Cinian coaxed him with a smile.
Sure enough, as soon as Wowo heard “chubby and plump”, he immediately became energized, and suddenly put Chengcheng behind his head, flattened his mouth in grievance, and repeated for the Nth time, “It’s obviously Lightning BIUBIU… woo woo… ”
Alright, alright, kid Lightning, be nice, I’ll teach him a lesson from Qucheng, let him buy you a lot of snacks, and come back and let you ride a big horse, okay?”
“Uh…pull the hook.” “The little guy is really coaxing. As long as he says that snacks are basically a hit, Xu Cinian’s few words made him smile.
After putting on the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief and dialed Qu Cheng’s number again, but it was still the same as in the morning, no one answered.
It’s already night, are you still talking about business?
Xu Cinian was a little puzzled, so he planned to go back to the guest room to put down his things first, and then follow up with him. Ah Si got in touch, and happened to be passing by the leisure club in the center of the resort at this time, and saw many waiters gathered at the door, seeming to be taking a break from their busy schedules, drinking and eating at the same time.
“Do you think it’s hard work, brother Cheng?” One of the rough-hearted men with a loud voice suddenly said such a sentence, making Xu Cinian stop all of a sudden.
The person they are talking about is… Qucheng?
“Isn’t that right? It took ten years for the person to come back. Now that the beauty is in his arms, it is estimated that in a few days, we will have to change our name to sister-in-law.”
Ten years…?
Xu Cinian frowned, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He couldn’t help hiding behind the nearest tree, wanting to listen carefully to what they were saying.
One of the big men took a sip of wine, his face flushed, and he laughed and said, “I saw Brother Cheng with him when I was on duty this morning, how good to him, I heard that Brother Cheng and him are still in the house and haven’t come out for a day… tsk tsk, it’s really the spirit of a dragon and horse.”
The person next to him smiled and picked up a piece of meat. Putting it into his mouth, “Can you compare your grandson with brother Cheng? He has been holding back for ten years, and only one day is nothing. I guess he will have to work hard for three days and three nights.
They laughed, but Xu Cinian, who was hiding, suddenly changed his face.
It was as if someone had slapped his head hard, and he didn’t know how to react for a while, and even began to wonder if he had heard it wrong.
They must not be talking about Qu Cheng, right? Absolutely not… How could that guy have the guts to do such a thing?
Xu Cinian pulled the corner of his mouth vigorously, comforted himself, and turned around and left. He knew Qu Cheng and believed in his own vision, so there was no need to continue listening to these nonsense. There were too many such nonsense. Why listen to strangers babble here, but doubt the lover you believe in?
He took a deep breath, rubbed his ears, and felt that he was probably hallucinating.
“Hey, have you heard? It is said that Brother Cheng brought back a man this time. He was tall and thin, and he was very handsome. I heard that he was a small restaurant owner. He looked a bit like Yue Yue. Similar, you said that if these two people collide, what will Brother Cheng do?”
The person next to him sneered, “What else can we do? Who didn’t know that Brother Cheng was good to Yue Yue back then, if it wasn’t because of the Brother Long, Yue Yue has been his person for a long time, and now he has waited ten years for the master to come back, no matter what kind of small boss or handsome guy he is, don’t he have to stand aside?
“Yue Yue has grown up with us, so we can rest assured when we are next to Brother Cheng. Now that they are kissing and kissing, it’s really a happy event for us. Let’s have a toast with our brothers!”
“Okay! Anyone who doesn’t understand is not a man!”
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses together happily, but Xu Cinian, who was standing beside him, was like falling into an ice cave, unable to say a word for a long time, and the whole person was stunned.
Qu Cheng’s recent mysterious appearance suddenly appeared in his mind, and the evasive look he received a call in the middle of the night to avoid himself… It seemed that everything suddenly had an explanation.
Xu Cinian’s forehead hurt badly, and the nausea in his stomach came up again. He tried desperately to stop himself from thinking wildly, at least until he saw Qu Cheng and asked himself to understand, but he couldn’t control the appearance of Qu Cheng and his friends.
The disgusting things that Dong Feng and Xu Xinnian did in those days were vividly remembered, mixed with Qu Cheng’s figure, and his throat suddenly swelled up. There was a burst of grief, and he couldn’t help retching immediately…
The branches swayed with his movements, and the apples in the bag rolled to the ground. The few people who were in full swing heard the movement and stood up quickly, widening their eyes sharply. Eyes, “Who!?”
These people are brothers in the Qinglong Gang, and they are all good at it, but they are not the same as the Hao Ting gang. The two gangs are in charge of different jobs. Now the resort in Qingyuan has just opened, Qu Cheng sent new people to come to see the venue, so these people never saw Xu Cinian at all.
Xu Cinian wiped the corner of his mouth and felt a little more comfortable in his stomach. He stood up straight and walked out slowly. The person in front of him was stunned for a moment, and seemed to recognize that he was the little boss that Qu Cheng brought back yesterday.
For a time, everyone was dumbfounded. Obviously, the little boss heard what they said just now. It was really lively.
Xu Cinian felt uncomfortable, but his face was still calm, he bent down and picked up the rolled apples and put them in the bag, and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t want to disturb your drinking, you go ahead and I’ll pick it up.”
When one of them saw him like this, he was immediately a little angry, and no one wanted his words to be overheard, not to mention that these words had something to do with Qu Cheng, and it was taboo to talk about the boss in private.
“Brother Cheng is too busy to pay attention to you right now. Even if you come here to eavesdrop, it will be useless. Brother Cheng is not yours. Who the hell are you picking up apples?”
Xu Cinian was stunned. After a while, he asked back, “You said that I climbed Qu Cheng high?”
“Yes, that means you, don’t sneak around here and eavesdrop, like a girl, tell you, your set is useless, you’re not his type, it’s useless for you to chase after him.”
“I chased him instead?” Xu Cinian laughed angrily this time. It was definitely not him who was the one who stalked and chased him.
“It’s just a restaurant little boss, don’t think you can follow Yueyue…”
“Aqiang shut your mouth! Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by a stern voice. When he turned around, Ah Si hurried out of the hall at some point. When he saw Xu Cinian on the opposite side, his entire face changed color.
Elder brother? When the group saw Ah Si, they were stunned. Before they could react, he slapped Ah Qiang, who was choking with Xu Cinian just now, on the face.
Everyone was slapped by this slap Confused, Ah Qiang didn’t even know where he was wrong.
“Apologize, immediately apologize to Brother Xu. Ah Si didn’t have any accommodation, his face was ashen, and he kicked him.
The man was unconvinced and wanted to make a quibble, and Ah Si kicked over again, “Apologize immediately, get out after you apologize, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll tell Brother Cheng immediately, don’t mix in the gang!”
Several elders were really scared when they heard this, and they knew that they were wrong. They glanced at Xu Cinian, apologized gruffly, and left in dismay.
For a while, only Ah Si was left in place. Si and the expressionless Xu Cinian.
Ah Si looked at Xu Cinian’s face and couldn’t grasp his emotions for a while, and he just wanted to smash the mouths of those people. Xu Cinian went out, but he still didn’t hide it, it was really fatal!
“That… Brother Xu, you… don’t listen to their nonsense, these people just like to talk and don’t tell the truth, you mustn’t listen to them. really. ”
Xu Cinian looked at his nervous expression, he understood everything in an instant, but calmed down in his heart, “Where is Qu Cheng now?”
He…I…this…” Ah Si’s head was numb and he didn’t know how to explain it.
Seeing his faltering expression, Xu Cinian slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, “I’ll ask you again, Is he really talking about business? You tell me the truth. As long as you say yes, I will leave now and I will never ask any more questions. ”
Ah Si felt very guilty. He admired Xu Cinian from the bottom of his heart, and even regarded him as the owner of half of the Qinglong Gang. Looking at his calm, unpredictable eyes, he even lied for a while. Can’t speak.
“I’m sorry, Brother Xu, but…”
“Okay, I see.” Xu Cinian stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking. No matter what excuse, he understood that everything Ah Si did was just According to Qu Cheng’s instructions, so if he lied, he was lying. He wouldn’t blame Ah Si, but he didn’t expect Qu Cheng to treat him like this.
Taking a deep breath, his stomach was agitated violently, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his abdomen, then stood up straight, “Qu Cheng didn’t answer my call before because he was with that guy named Yue Yue, right? You didn’t let me go out in the morning, is it Qu Cheng’s meaning or your own?”
Xu Cinian guessed everything, Ah Si was speechless and could only bow his head in guilt, “Brother Xu… Don’t blame Brother Cheng, you must know better than me what he think about you. Don’t listen to those people’s nonsense. Brother Cheng… he is not such a person.”
“That is to say, it is Qu Cheng’s intention not to let me go out?” Xu Cinian did not response to his words, he nodded clearly.
At this moment, he couldn’t tell what it was like in his heart. The terrible feeling of being betrayed by Dong Feng came back, and he didn’t even dare to continue asking.
What is this? The man who slept with him last night lied to him in the blink of an eye.
He thought everyone could lie to him, and Qu Cheng would never, but now?
Xu Cinian rubbed his face, and always felt that he was dreaming. The joy of waiting for Xu Xinnian to throw himself into the net was completely gone. He couldn’t figure out what happened to Qu Cheng? Obviously it wasn’t like this yesterday.
His face became a little pale, and Ah Si was shocked when he saw it, and quickly explained, “Brother Xu, do you believe me? This is definitely not what you think. Brother Cheng and Yue Yue are not…”
Xu Cinian smiled, but patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, “Okay, you don’t need to say so much, this is a problem between the two of us, and I won’t be suspicious of Qu Cheng just because of a few words from others.”
You know this Yueyue too, right? Who is he?”
Ah Si scratched his hair with a confused look on his face. Qu Cheng urged him to never let Xu Cinian know about this matter, but now it has been completely can’t hide it anymore, in front of Xu Cinian, how dare he tell lies.
