Chapter 148
This set of rhetoric was compiled by Coriander a long time ago. Rural people are superstitious and believe in gods. In this way, the old lady and the others can accept it naturally and will not be suspicious.

"It's because of the good heart of Coriander that I got this treasure. Girl, you are really blessed. This time, thanks to you, our family can get through this difficult time." Chen embraced Coriander, very happy in her heart, always There was also a proud look on his humble and timid face.Who says daughters are not treasures?My daughter is a treasure.

"Yes, thanks to the coriander!" The old lady said happily.

"Where is it, Grandma, Coriander is just a girl. Sooner or later, she is someone else, and not like a kid like my brother. What's the use? It's right not to be seen by Grandma." Coriander said with a smile, but her tone was sour ridicule.

"Oh, what is this silly girl talking about? Daughter-in-law, look at this girl! Coriander, you and Dabao are both grandma's favorite meat. The palm of your hand is meat, and the back of your hand is also meat. You are an older sister, so it is inevitable that grandma will ask you to do more things." You are the hero of our family, who dare not love you? My old lady is the first to say no!"

Coriander pouted, too lazy to argue with the old lady.

With the Zijin Bowl, Xiangcai's family has so much food that they can't finish it. Her status in the family has risen sharply, and life with her mother Chen is much easier.In times of famine, whoever can get food is the strongest in the family.

Xiangcai took out a little money she had saved, raised some money from Xuanyue, rented a dilapidated storefront in a remote street in the town, and opened a "Xiang's Grain and Oil Store". The ink reads, "Free relief for the victims and distribution of rice. All poor villagers can receive a ration of rice grains according to the number of people in the family. Please consciously line up and receive them in order."

As soon as the news spread, it spread like wildfire, and soon, a long queue formed in front of the Xiangshi Grain and Oil Store, old people, children, young adults, women, holding various sacks ready to hold rice , Stretched their heads eagerly.

At first the old lady disagreed, but she couldn't resist the coriander.Coriander also called the old lady and Mrs. Chen to come to the store to help distribute. When she was free, Shuyun, Erdan, Luhe, and Xuan Yue would also come to help. By the way, she brought some food home to eat. Salaries of helpers.

With the help of coriander, the death rate of the villagers was greatly reduced, and the famine was relieved to a certain extent. Everyone was grateful to Hai's family and said that coriander was a living bodhisattva from Qingshui Village.

Just when everyone was very happy, but one person was not happy.

Who is this person?He is the young owner of the Lin family's rice store, the only son of the Lin family - Lin Youtang.

Originally, the rice grain business of the Lin family has been booming recently. It can be said that it is earning a lot of money every day and a lot of money every month. The money earned exceeds all other properties of the Lin family, including brothels and gambling houses that have always had high profits. I have blue eyes, and I am full of praise.But ever since the Xiangshi Grain and Oil Store, which came out of nowhere, opened to distribute rice grains for free, even rich ladies who have money to patronize on weekdays are reluctant to come, preferring to send the servants at home and wear Pretending to be poor in rags to receive free rice is a fatal blow to the Lin family's rice grain business!On weekdays, the entrance of the Lin Family Rice Grain Store, which is usually crowded with people, is completely deserted at the moment.

At this moment, in the comfortable and spacious inner room of the Lin Family Rice Grain Store, Lin Youtang was sitting on the grand teacher's chair with a dark face.Shopkeeper Gao carefully laughed along with him, a little trembling, he naturally knew why the Young Master's family was unhappy, so it was!Who would have thought of such a thing!
The inner room was very quiet, filled with a faint fragrance of rice.

"Young master, the business of this store is very good. Who knows... Hey, the one who runs the Xiangshi grain and oil store and works against us is actually a little farm girl! She comes from Qingshui Village. Although her father is a county magistrate, the family But it is poor, and it has only improved a little in the past few years. This little girl’s rice is free, so naturally our rice can’t be sold. The strange thing is that a little girl in the country is useless. Lu Zi, where did you get that much rice? We have a lot of rice in our stockpile, but she seems to have a steady stream of rice!" Shopkeeper Gao frowned suspiciously, and sighed worriedly: "These many rice , is backlogged in the warehouse, if it cannot be sold after a long time, it is easy to rot... What should I do?"

Lin Youtang's face was still expressionless, and he never looked at Shopkeeper Gao, as if he never listened to his ramblings, but those words reached his ears verbatim.Farm girl?In his cold eyes, an imperceptible interest flashed quickly.

"Dede———" There were no human voices around, only the sound of Lin Youtang's right index finger and middle finger tapping the coffee table gently and rhythmically.He furrowed his brows deeply and lowered his head slightly, just thinking about something, this is his habitual action when thinking about problems.Standing next to him is his capable follower, A Fei. He stands quietly, motionless, expressionless. excellent.

"A Fei, when did that store open?" Lin Youtang spoke slowly, breaking the silence.

"Back to young master, three days ago." Ah Fei returned, except for his lips moving, there was no movement anywhere else, if you didn't look at his mouth, you would hardly know it was him talking.Before Lin Youtang ordered him to investigate the matter, he had actually checked everything out. This was a good habit he had developed over the years.If you want to be a gold medal servant next to the eldest son of the Lin family, you have to put in more effort than others.

"Can you find out the background of the owner of this store?"

"Master Hui, this person's name is Xiangcai, 13 years old, from Shuiqing Village. Her father is a county magistrate, her mother and grandmother work in agriculture, and she has a younger brother. This girl did not go to a private school, and she used to do some small business."

"Where does her supply come from?"

"Unknown. A Fei has never found out that she has any rice transactions with the outside world." A trace of confusion also flashed in A Fei's unusually calm eyes. He would never allow himself to have any setbacks, but no matter how many methods he used , No matter how much thought was spent, it is indeed impossible to find out the source of the mysterious peasant girl's rice.

"Hmm..." Lin Youtang nodded in satisfaction. He is not suspicious of hiring people, and he is not angry because A Fei didn't find out the source of the opponent's goods. He knows his capable subordinates, and he pursues the ultimate. A meticulous person, this is very similar to himself, which is one of the reasons why he likes him.He said he couldn't find it, but he tried his best to chase every clue, but he really couldn't find it.Since he came to him at the age of 15, he has done countless things for himself. He has done everything beautifully and has never disappointed him. This time, he believes it will be the same.coriander?coriander?A character who can't even handle Hooligan... what would it be like?He became more and more interested in this peasant girl.
