Chapter 110: Ye Heng decides to expand and develop the Bi Hu Suo
After Lin Lin Mengye learned of this, she sneered and said:
"Serves you right, weren't you still badmouthing me behind my back for being black-hearted?"
"Now you're happy? The vegetables didn't make money, but instead let others steal them."
"I heard people say it was the villagers themselves who stole them."
"Not many households have installed surveillance in the fields, and it's impossible to guard them all the time."
"You steal, I steal, whoever sees gets a share, so no one files a complaint."
"Lin Lin Mengye had also figured out these people's nature; when asking them to purchase, she basically gave them no discount."
"Even giving them a 30% discount is already showing them favor."
"After this, several neighboring villages all came to know Lin Lin Mengye's reputation."
"Some big planters even proactively asked Lin Lin Mengye for contact information; Lin Lin Mengye naturally agreed to long-term cooperation, saving her the trouble of running to the market to buy this and that."
"Purchasing vegetables and fruits directly from the villagers without middlemen is indeed cheaper and more convenient."
"The next day, Lin Lin Mengye found several trucks, loaded all the purchased goods onto them, and prepared to transport them to the warehouse in Clear Pond Town."
"She drove a large Benz in the lead to clear the way."
"The people from the neighboring villages all came to see her off, making Lin Lin Mengye a bit embarrassed."
"She had only bought a batch of crops, yet these villagers were still overly enthusiastic."
"\"This girl is someone who does big things; look at how imposing her car is, worth over a million, yet she still diligently runs a produce business—what does that show? \""
"\"What does it show? \""
"\"It shows that as long as you work hard, anyone can drive a big Benz! \""
"\"... \""
"Moreover, some villagers from neighboring villages who had eaten the melons from Lin Jia Cun began to complain about those Lin Jia Cun people."
"From Lin Lin Mengye's background, they talked about how the Lin Jia Cun villagers had squeezed her, and then discussed how several of Lin Lin Mengye's relatives had been stingy toward her."
"In a short time, the livelihood committees of several neighboring villages all began to feel indignant on Lin Lin Mengye's behalf."
"\"That bunch of beasts, truly not human, Lin Lin Mengye this little girl is so good and practical—how did she become a jinx, a white-eyed wolf? \""
"\"What else can it be? Not having taken advantage of her, seeing her getting better and better, of course they're jealous. \""
"\"Those top-notch relatives of hers are also rare; if I had such a promising junior, I'd be delighted and couldn't be happier—yet in this world there are actually elders who resent juniors living well; if I were in Lin Jia Cun, I'd surely look down on them. \""
"\"...... \""
"Lin Lin Mengye would no longer often reside in Lin Jia Cun, and naturally she wouldn't bother caring how the Lin Jia Cun people viewed her."
"Before, she was penniless and in debt, everyone avoided her like snakes and scorpions; those who didn't gossip behind her back were already decent people, and she wouldn't begrudge them making money from her."
"As for those who verbally attacked her, or even kicked her when she was down, she shouldn't be blamed for not showing them mercy."
"There are still dealings; that's her magnanimity, as a punishment she has the right to vent her past anger by suppressing prices."
"If she were to again treat herself as a scallion……"
"That would be embarrassing; Lin Lin Mengye herself is not easy to provoke, she will use concrete actions to tell them, 'Old lady's life is good now, but I'm not playing with you, work~'"
"The convoy, with Lin Lin Mengye marching mightily, left Lin Jia Cun, passed through several other villages, and arrived at the warehouse in Clear Pond Town."
"After unloading the goods and closing the warehouse door, Lin Lin Mengye contacted Ye Heng."
"After several days without communicating with Ye Heng, as soon as their spiritual powers made contact, Ye Heng's side transmitted an excited voice."
"\"Lin Lin Mengye, these past few days I and several core members of the Bi Hu Suo have been devising an expansion plan day and night, deciding to expand and enlarge the Bi Hu Suo, recruiting other survivors from outside. \""
"\"I intend to turn this entire vast valley into a Bi Hu Suo; that way, our Bi Hu Suo will have greater influence, external material trade and intelligence gathering will be more smooth. \""
"Upon hearing this, Lin Lin Mengye couldn't help but feel happy for Ye Heng and the other members of the Bi Hu Suo."
"\"Wanting to gain more living space and resources in the Fe Tu Shi Jie, it's indeed necessary to build a strong force; you can seize this opportunity to firmly establish your leadership, I will fully support you—tell me what supplies you lack, and I'll first send over a batch of fresh produce. \""
"Ye Heng's side was still in a state of excitement; upon hearing Lin Lin Mengye say she would provide him with fresh vegetables, he was overjoyed, his speech becoming incoherent with happiness."
"\"Great, thank you so much, Lin Lin Mengye; everyone in our Bi Hu Suo especially loves the vegetables you send, they're incredibly fresh, even better than meat—no, wait, the meat you send is also delicious, everything is delicious! \""
"Lin Lin Mengye merely smiled without speaking, then began transferring the warehouse's supplies in batches into the First Space."
"Having experienced the previous large-scale material transfer, this time the two's coordination was quite tacit."
"In less than ten minutes, all the fresh fruits and vegetables, including the handicraft daily-use items Lin Lin Mengye had purchased from the villagers, were completely handed over to Ye Heng."
"Looking at the storage ledger, instantly piled with various familiar and unfamiliar vegetables and fruits, Ye Heng's heartbeat intensified."
"Suddenly, he thought of something, and hurriedly ran out of the ledger straight to the kitchen."
"Seeing this, everyone gathered around."
"\"Team Captain Ye, what's wrong? \""
"Not long after, a small bowl of braised pork appeared in Ye Heng's hand."
"This is the meat dish they've made these past few days to improve their meals; everyone ate it with relish, marveling that they had never tasted anything so delicious in their lives."
"Ye Heng cherished his friendship with Lin Lin Mengye and wanted her to also taste the Bi Hu Suo chef's skill, so he sent the braised pork into the space."
"\"Lin Lin Mengye, this is the braised pork cooked by the kitchen chef using the pork you gave and those seasonings; everyone hopes you can try it and give some pointers. \""
"Upon hearing this, Lin Lin Mengye was startled, entered the space, and indeed saw a small bowl of braised pork on the table."
"She couldn't help but curl the corner of her mouth, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth."
"For a moment, the unique pork aroma filled her mouth; after a few chews, the pork flavor intensified, the meat was also dry, getting stuck between her teeth and throat."
"Lin Lin Mengye instantly put on a pained expression; she had never eaten such terrible braised pork in her life."
"Through spiritual power, Ye Heng could only see Lin Lin Mengye's phantom in the space, making it impossible for him to know her current expression."
"In apprehension, Ye Heng asked:"
"\"How is it? Isn't it delicious? \""
"Lin Lin Mengye furrowed her brows, wanting to say a few good things, but really couldn't get the words out."
She felt that since these wasteland refugees already had her help, they shouldn't just boil these ingredients whole.
Although Lin Lin Mengye knew that for them, being able to eat meat was already an extreme happiness, they certainly weren't as picky as she was, and might even consider this a heavenly delicacy.
But since she had already helped them this much, she might as well let them live a truly good life.
So Lin Lin Mengye thought for a moment and said:
"This... the cook must be a good cook, but he probably has never made braised pork before; the taste is completely different from what we have here."
"How about this: I'll get you some cooking equipment suitable for open flames, plus a few detailed cookbooks, so the kitchen chefs can follow the recipes and surely make it just like in a restaurant."
Ye Heng froze for a moment, then felt embarrassed.
He had indeed eaten several of the meal-box delicacies Lin Lin Mengye provided, and their taste was indeed far superior to that of the Bi Hu Suo cooks.
But he thought the braised pork tasted fine; it seemed Lin Lin Mengye had strict standards for food.
On the goddess's preference note, a new entry was added: she has strict standards for food, and must avoid making a fool of herself.
Moreover, Ye Heng quickly found the head cook and told him to put more effort into his cooking.
Cook: "Alas, I've never eaten pork nor seen a pig run; who knows how to make braised pork?"
