Chapter 915

Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the surrounding pedestrians gathered around. Lu Lu Qiuwei and others immediately brought out plates of candies and pastries, letting passersby take them, while smiling and saying loudly: "Our young master signed a contract with Elder Lu today to buy the Yangshan Archipelago! From now on, there will be food, drink, and fun there, please come to support!" The sugar cakes were all from the most famous pastry shop in Qu City, exquisite and delicate, looking very beautiful on the plates. Adults and children all came to grab a few to eat, and the scene was bustling and lively.

After a surprise, Lu Lu Qingan was both angry and amused.

The one surnamed He played such a hand, poking the transaction between the two sides into the broad daylight, was it because he was afraid that his Lu family would go back on their word in the future, so he let the elders of ten streets come to witness?

Thinking he was very smart? If he were really a sensible person, he wouldn't save his strength for this time, but would do a good investigation before buying the island, which could save a lot of unjust money; at least he should look at the agreement twice more and leave fewer loopholes.

What's the use of playing these little clever tricks?

The commoners were all stretching their necks to look at him, so Lu Lu Qingan had to smile and wave his hand while maintaining his demeanor.

This confirmed the shouting of He He Lingchuan's side: The Lu family really sold the Yangshan Archipelago to Young Master He, and the one who came to sign the contract in person was Lu Lu Qingan, Elder Lu.

He He Lingchuan also personally carried a plate out to send snacks, the children grabbed sugar generously, but the adults lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.

Old residents of Does Bailie all knew that the Yangshan Archipelago was not a good place. The Lu family sold it to an outsider who didn't know the truth, which was immoral.

But Elder Lu was in front, and Elder Lu's subordinates were all pricking up their ears and squeezing into the crowd, staring fiercely to see who would let it slip. So the villagers didn't dare to remind He He Lingchuan, just grabbed sugar and snacks, and turned away.

Those with thick skin also said "Congratulations, congratulations" to him.

Finally, Lu Lu Qingan couldn't wait, and smiled at He He Lingchuan: "Young Master He, the restaurant is at the corner ahead."

"Oh, oh, good!" He He Lingchuan threw the plate away and clapped his hands, "Go, I'll drink with Elder Lu until I'm drunk!"

The restaurant where Lu Lu Qingan treated big clients, the grade would naturally not be low.

There were mountain delicacies and seafood, and there were tastes stewed together from mountains and seas, such as the signature dish of Linglong Pavilion, which was very similar to Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and also needed to be stewed in water for more than four hours, but the taste was much more refreshing, and it could also be dipped in ginger shreds and red vinegar, which He He Lingchuan praised endlessly.

Lu Lu Qingan wanted to scrape 80,000 silver taels from his hands, so of course, he didn't care about the small money of treating guests to dinner. He also wanted to probe He He Lingchuan's tone and test his background.

He He Lingchuan, while gorging himself and spending more of Lu Lu Qingan's money, built himself into a noble from Fu Nation, claiming that his family also did business with Between Beijia and was the exclusive supplier of several hot-selling goods.

He had indeed traveled to Fu Nation and traveled thousands of miles with the second master of the Shimen Chamber of Commerce, so he had heard enough about the customs and business ways of Fu Nation, and at this time, he took them to blow the conch with Lu Lu Qingan.

There were too many small countries and forces on the edge of the ocean, and Does Bailie knew little about Fu Nation, which was inland and not by the sea. After Daofeng Port was "rented" by Qingguo, Does Bailie lost its most important seaport, and its exchanges with distant countries were even less.

Lu Lu Qingan tried to ask a few questions.

Regarding eating, drinking, and playing, He He Lingchuan answered fluently.

Regarding business operations, he began to stutter and get stuck, which was very consistent with the Lu family's positioning of him.

Fortunately, there was fine wine to help, and the atmosphere of the host and guest drinking was high, covering up some embarrassment.

Lu Lu Qingan gradually regarded He He Lingchuan as a second-generation ancestor who was swept out of the house, with a lot of money in his pocket but no business sense.

The key is that there is still a lot of money.

And then he asked He He Lingchuan: "Young Master He is already an island owner. How does the island owner plan to utilize the Yangshan Archipelago?"

He He Lingchuan ate a piece of milky fish lips and grabbed the wine glass to drink it in one gulp: "This delicacy, mellow and soft, what is this?"

"This dish is made specifically with the lips of the sturgeon and added with fresh milk, and only a few pieces of lips are taken from each fish, which is a rare delicacy."

"Rare" means expensive.

"You seaside people really know how to eat. This place, I think I came to the right place."

Lu Lu Qingan shook his head: "The sturgeon lives in a deep freshwater lake two hundred li to the north, not a sea fish. It is also very far from us."

Otherwise, eating seafood by the sea, how can you say the ingredients are rare?

Just this dish alone costs two taels of silver.

Seeing that the guest's topic was stuck on the dishes, Lu Lu Qingan had to turn his head and order the restaurant to serve another plate of fish lips, this time with a different cooking method.

He He Lingchuan then said slowly: "The Yangshan Archipelago, I see that its land is fertile, and both manors and farmland can be opened. Then fix the islands along the coast, and the shipping route will naturally bring me endless passenger flow!"

Buying an island just to farm? I'm afraid it will lose until the bottom is gone? Lu Lu Qingan laughed secretly and added: "If Young Master He has any needs, just speak up, we will do our best as hosts!"

He He Lingchuan took this polite remark seriously and patted the table: "Good, Elder Lu is atmospheric! I need high-quality materials and skilled craftsmen to build on the island!"

So far, he is still unfamiliar with the place here. To buy suitable materials and labor, he indeed needs the help of locals.

Lu Lu Qingan clapped his hands: "Small matter, I can find all of these for you. Does Bailie produces skilled craftsmen, whatever kind of buildings and palaces Young Master He wants, they can build them for you."

The largest timber firm in the local area is the Lu family's.

He He Lingchuan immediately toasted him: "Is it settled? Then I'll trouble Elder Lu to find me three hundred craftsmen first!"

"... A small matter."

The two toasted each other and then enjoyed the beautiful dancing.

The next morning, Lu Lu Qingan still felt his head a bit dizzy when he got up.

He had cultivation, but he was still dry-mouthed, and it took a lot of honey water to relieve it.

The kid surnamed He can really drink!

He was a bit confused after drinking later, and seemed to have patted his chest to the one surnamed He, but he didn't remember what he guaranteed.

Forget it, drunken words don't count.

He calmed down, found someone to order: "In the next ten days, secretly deploy defenses at the official office and the Lu Mansion. If anyone comes to provoke trouble, arrest them strictly! People in my family going out must also be protected by attendants."

The one surnamed He will find out the truth about the Yangshan Archipelago sooner or later. By then, he will either come to return the island and the contract, or find trouble with the Lu Mansion.

What kind of things can't such a lawless family son do? Otherwise, how could he be swept out of the family and driven ten thousand miles away? Lu Lu Qingan ordered this, and the people below naturally followed.

However, after being on guard for a few days, Qu City was still calm.

He He Lingchuan didn't come to the door angrily, didn't denounce them as liars, and didn't find anyone to block the gate of the Lu Mansion.
