Chapter 118 The Lion's Big Opening
Su Yue happened to step into the workshop at this moment, frowning slightly, "I am the boss here, why can't I afford to offend you?"
The man's eyes lit up, he turned around, looked around Su Yue, and smiled, "Are you Mrs. Su, the owner of Su's Fresh Food?"
Su Yue nodded, "It's me, I wonder who you are?"
The man breathed a sigh of relief, "You're here just in time. I'm a doctor from the Qingli Temple in the Ministry of War's arsenal. I'm here to inspect Su's fresh fish and meat products. Please untie me as soon as possible."
From the capital?
Su Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.
Sun subconsciously looked at Su Yue, "Brothers and sisters, do liars dare to pretend to be high officials these days?"
The man's face turned even darker, "Untie me, and I'll show you my belt tag."
Su Yue motioned for her to untie the man.
Mrs. Sun stepped forward and untied the rope, feeling a little unsure: "Are you...are you really a high-ranking official from the capital?"
The man took out a badge from his waist with a sullen face and handed it to Su Yue.
"This is my waist badge. Madam Su can check it."
Su Yue took the waist badge. The oval wooden plaque was engraved with complex patterns, with the word "Ministry of War" written on it, and below it was a row of small characters: Han Sheng, the doctor of the Qingli Temple in the arsenal.
She returned her waist badge, knelt down and saluted, "It turned out to be Mr. Han. Su Yue was blind and blind, so I collided. Please forgive me."
When the women in the courtyard heard that they had arrested an official, they all turned pale with fright, especially Miao, the woman who had just encouraged Sun to beat him up. She was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground.
"Sir... please forgive me, I... I didn't really want to hit you just now, I just..." Ms. Miao was so frightened that her hands and feet were trembling, and she couldn't speak clearly.
Han Sheng waved his hand and looked very easy-going, "It's not my fault if I don't know, it's also my fault that I didn't explain it clearly. You guys should get up."
Everyone felt a little more relaxed when they saw that his expression was gentle and he was not as blushing and thick-necked as before.
Su Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Han, for your understanding. You can go about your business first."
Everyone got up, but Miao's legs were weak and she couldn't get up.
Mrs. Sun picked her up and dragged her into the kitchen.
Su Yue invited Han Sheng into the main hall to serve tea, "My lord, you have come all the way from the capital. I didn't expect to arrive in Gaoping so quickly."
It had only been about ten days since her fish and meat products and instructions were sent out. Even if they took the He family's caravan, they would still have only arrived in the capital, right?
This Master Han has already arrived in Gaoping. When did he leave from the capital?
Han Sheng put down the tea cup and shook his head slightly, "I'm not from the capital, but from Jinzhou Prefecture."
Su Yue was surprised, Jinzhou Prefecture?
"I happened to be on errands in Jinzhou Prefecture and received a message from Fei Ge from the capital. I didn't dare to delay and immediately set off for Dayang Town."
Han Sheng paused and said, "The Ministry of War attaches great importance to the supply of food and grass to various David's offices this year. The canned fish and fish pellets you provided are rare items and need to be treated with caution.
I arrived yesterday evening, and the reason why I didn't reveal my identity was because I wanted to conduct a secret investigation first."
Su Yue looked at him calmly, "How did your inspection go, sir?"
Han Sheng smiled.
"I see that your workshop is clean and tidy. I went to the shop last night and bought a bottle of canned fish and tasted it. It tasted really good.
but....."
He suddenly changed the topic and smiled while stroking the tea cup.
"If you have something to say, it doesn't matter. If there are any areas that need to be changed, I will try my best to adjust them."
Han Sheng drank tea slowly.
Su Yue waited patiently.
After finishing the cup of tea, Han Sheng put down the cup and said, "I think Mrs. Su is a happy person, so I just want to say that your workshop is a bit small after all. If you want to supply it to various institutions, the scale is far from enough."
Su Yue has thought about this a long time ago, "I am already looking for a place to buy land to build a new workshop. As long as the things can be selected, expanding the scale is not a problem."
Han Sheng sighed, "Ms. Su, you don't know. How many merchants participate in the Ministry of War's grain and grass selection every year, but the ones who are actually selected are only a drop in the bucket. This is not determined by scale."
Su Yue heard something in his words and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Su Yue is a straight person. If you have something to say, Mr. Han, you might as well say it directly."
Han Sheng leaned forward slightly, "Let me help Mrs. Su point out a clear path. Mrs. Su can choose to cooperate with our Han family. Our Han family is a well-known family in the capital and also has a place in the Ministry of War.
If Mrs. Su is willing to cooperate with us, I guarantee that your items will definitely be selected."
Su Yue frowned slightly, "What do you mean by cooperation?"
Han Sheng raised his chin slightly, "The Han family is only responsible for the operation of the capital. We occupy 60% of the geographical advantage."
Su Yue took a breath of cold air.
Sixty percent! She has to be responsible for production, transportation, and finally, after deducting workers' wages and other costs, she will have no profit at all.
The Han family is not looking for cooperation, they clearly want to take over her business.
She sneered, "I've seen lions open their mouths widely, but I've never seen them open so greedily."
Han Sheng's face suddenly darkened, "Mrs. Su, don't you agree to cooperate?"
Su Yue stood up to see the guests off and refused without hesitation, "Of course I don't agree. Mr. Han, please go ahead."
"I advise Mrs. Su to think about it again." Han Sheng walked away with a cold face and waved his sleeves.
After Su Yue came out, Mrs. Sun came over with a worried look on her face, "Brothers and sisters, I saw that the official had a dark face when he left. Is he still holding a grudge against us for beating him?"
If it was because of us that we ruined our siblings' business, we would be guilty of a great crime."
Su Yue shook her head and saw everyone else standing in the yard with worried faces, waving their hands, "It's not because of this. Don't worry, it will be fine. Just keep working."
After leaving the workshop, Su Yue always felt something was wrong, so she drove to the county town to find Ho Hong.
"Han Sheng?" He Hong stood up in shock after hearing what she said. "Is this impossible?
I just received the letter from Fei Ge today. It is true that the Ministry of War wants to send someone to investigate, but the person sent is my uncle's confidant Yang Ping, not Han Sheng?
Moreover, Yang Ping just set off from the capital today, and he still has to walk for more than half a month. What on earth does this sudden appearance of Han Sheng want to do?"
Su Yue frowned, "It doesn't look like his badge is fake."
Things were more complicated than she thought.
Ho Hong also felt that the matter was not simple, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to inquire about Han Sheng first. I'll pay him a visit tomorrow. If there is any news, I'll find you as soon as possible."
That's all it can do.
It was already late when Su Yue got home, so she went to the workshop again.
Work has finished in the workshop and it is very quiet inside.
She turned around, finally called Chang You and Bai Hu out of the space, and ordered:
"The time has come to prove your ability. From now on, you two will take turns to be on duty and stare at the workshop.
Whenever strangers appear, scare them immediately, but don't scare the villagers, do you understand?"
Changyou nodded excitedly, with a cute expression on his face as if he believes in me, master, I can do it.
Bai Hu hummed, "Isn't it just that you stay up late and work overtime?"
Su Yue smiled lightly, "Bai Hu will be on duty tonight."
