"That's for sure. I guess it was half a month ago. The cloth merchant held an auction, and in the end, Mrs. Sun bought it. I heard that it cost a full six thousand taels! Six thousand taels just for some rags.
!Can you believe it!?"
"Ha..." Lan Chen felt a little uneasy. Why did he feel that the waiter was criticizing Huaihuai?
"But I'm always envious. Think about it, six thousand taels. I'm afraid the old lady is crazy."
"Old Mrs. Sun? I'm new here too. What's the situation like in Sun Mansion in Huadu?"
"You don't know Sun Mansion?" The waiter showed a little sarcasm, but the sarcasm quickly disappeared. Instead, he said patiently, "The Sun Mansion family has a great business. Half of the property in Huadu belongs to his family. The most important thing is
, the Sun family has good shipbuilding and repairing skills."
"This river in Huadu, that river, is the most suitable for traveling by water. The Sun family happens to have control of the checkpoints along the way. Of course they won't charge for official ships, but the major merchants and chambers of commerce will have to pay."
"Even the prefect is a member of the Sun family. It is not an exaggeration to say that this flower is surnamed Sun."
"Ahem." Lan Chen coughed lightly, raised his hand and patted the waiter on the shoulder and whispered, "In this world, my surname is Qin, and I am the current Holy Emperor."
"Ah...yes, yes! I'm stupid and I spoke too quickly! Thank you, sir, for reminding me!"
"It's okay, it's okay." Lan Chen waved his hand. "So, what happened to Sun Mansion recently?"
Sun Miaomiao had already returned to Huadu, but Xiaofeng, who was probably from the Sun family, returned yesterday, and even Sun Fan also returned to the family today.
Isn't it possible that these three of them are related in some way?
The juniors went back one after another, saying that nothing happened and it was impossible.
"This? There are rumors circulating that the Miss Sun family is planning to recruit a bride, and then the next head of the family will be confirmed on the big day."
"Oh..." Lan Chen nodded.
Could it be Sun Miaomiao?
He didn't know, and he didn't know why he felt a little lonely.
Perhaps she thought that if Sun Miaomiao got married, she would lose a high-pitched friend.
"Sir? Sir? Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Lan Chen shook his head and also took out some money. "Thank you for telling me so much and your thoughts."
"You're welcome then." The waiter happily accepted the unexpected surprise, but he had to do it secretly to avoid being seen by the shopkeeper.
"Ha, let me tell you a little tidbit. The cloth merchant will be knitting purple cloth in the near future. You must be prepared."
"Oh? How does this man know?"
"That cloth merchant is an aromatherapy cloth merchant."
"Yes."
"That's it. The purple dye should arrive today. With the dye, we can also weave cloth. Hey, if you ask me why I know it, I am the shopkeeper of the dyeing shop, and I dye all the purple!"
After saying that, Lan Chen raised his hand and turned around to leave.
The waiter was left stunned.
He would never believe that the man behind the scenes of empty streets and extreme fanaticism was actually this dirty, careless person.
Walking on the street, I was like a curious child, constantly looking around, sometimes stopping in front of vendors, sometimes wandering around in stores, buying some, eating some, and playing some.
After returning to Bafangke, the night was getting darker. After Lan Chen packed up his things, he also walked out again.
This time I came to Longhu Escort Agency.
After some inquiry, I found out that the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency is not far away, just in the west of the city.
Taking a closer look, there is no need to ask passers-by. The two strange stone sculptures in front of it are enough to explain everything.
"Tsk!" Lan Chen shook his fan and quickly covered his eyes, not daring to look directly.
Thinking of this beautiful county like flowers, there are also two ugly stone sculptures squatting... I envy the scenery, I envy the scenery.
"Sir! You are here!" At the door, Chang Qing recognized Lan Chen at a glance and trotted up enthusiastically.
"This stone carving of yours is too ugly." Lan Chen did not forget to complain.
"Ha, we can't say what the big shop owner thinks. Have you eaten? If not, let's go together. This meal is mine."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
"Wait while I get off and I'll get some things."
.......
"Come on, please. How do you feel about these flowers? Isn't it much more prosperous than Xuzhou? There are many people coming and going, and there are all kinds of new things."
"Yes, it seems good to move here and sit here."
"The mansion in Huadu is too expensive, I can't afford it." Chang Qing laughed at herself, "Here we are, even though this small restaurant is simple, the food inside is very delicious, especially the fried eggs, wow.
....."
Chang Qing swallowed unconsciously, which made Lan Chen feel a little embarrassed. Why not just scramble eggs? What's the fuss?
Take a seat, shout, it's very lively, the people coming and going are all rough old men, full of life, full of fireworks.
"Where does your lordship live?"
"Guests from all over the world."
"Well? It's a good place. Did you go out to play outside yesterday? Meet the women from Huadu?"
"Do I look like that kind of person? But I also met a friend and had some drinks with him. His name is Sun Fan. Do you have any impressions?"
"No." Chang Qing shook his head and said helplessly, "I'm not from Huadu."
"That's true..." Lan Chen nodded, expressing understanding.
"But throughout the whole day today, I also helped you get some information, and I've compiled it all here."
After saying that, Chang Qing also took out a booklet, which was exactly what he said he would bring with him.
Lan Chen opened it curiously and saw that it was densely packed with various records.
"To make a long story short, there are three people who meet the appearance criteria you mentioned. One appears in the city, one in the north of the city, and one in the suburbs." Chang Qing continued, "But I personally thought that Wang Katie disappeared inexplicably. If
Excluding the situation of being killed, it means he was kidnapped."
"But what's the purpose of kidnapping? Isn't it just for ransom? I'm not looking for you, Sir."
"Besides, they are all tied up. How could Katie Wang wander around and be found?"
"I learned this from my brothers. Sir, you have to make your own judgment as to what the situation is. If it doesn't work, you can go and report the case to the office first."
"Thank you, Chang Qing." Lan Chen looked at the heavy booklet. In addition to written records, it even included simple drawings and marked where he had witnessed it, which was enough to show his sincerity.
"Ha, we're seeing you? Sir, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to eat these scrambled eggs this time. Now, let's try it. If we're full and drunk, let's go find someone."
"okay."
A plate of scrambled eggs?
Bright in color, full of fragrance, steaming hot, and very appetizing just looking at it.
He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
Only then did Lan Chen know why it was called ‘explosion’.
Because all the delicious flavors suddenly burst out when they come into your mouth.
The fragrance is overflowing, and it is warm and lingering, seeming to warm people's hearts and soothe their souls.
I can't help but say...
Even the soul is reborn. This chapter has been completed!
