Chief Hong asked: "Since Li Fu gave Brother Zhao the formula for MSG, why not sell it to me, Hong Shengde? As long as I have the formula, am I still afraid that he won't hand over the key ingredient?"
"Brother Zhao, please rest assured. After I get the key ingredients, I will definitely not hide anything secret. How about you and I keeping this secret together?"
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said: "Under Li Fu's instruction, I have signed a contract with Dashunzhai. It is too late to regret it now. If I break the contract and spread this incomplete formula, I will bear the risk of breaking the contract."
"Since Mr. Hong wants to get this formula, why not go to Li Fu? Even the incomplete formula in my hand was given to me by Li Fu."
Hong Captou was right in thinking that Zhao Cheng was just a middleman after all, and there was no point in embarrassing him.
"Brother Zhao can come to Hong Shengde and treat me so honestly, I am naturally very pleased. But..."
Hong Patou changed the subject and said, "Brother Zhao didn't lie to me, did he? Li Fu really has a formula in his hands?"
Zhao Cheng said quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Hong. I once saw Li Fu hiding this formula in a jewelry box beside the bed."
After seeing off Zhao Cheng, Hong Captou took a deep breath: "Li Fu, Li Fu, it seems that I haven't made a move for a long time. I really think Hong has a Bodhisattva heart."
When Zhao Cheng sold MSG to Dashun Zhai, Zhang Dashun once reminded that Hong Shengde was Hong Baotou's industry. Once Hong Shengde was damaged, Hong Baotou's counterattack was not something ordinary people could bear.
On the afternoon of the day when Zhao Cheng visited Hong Baotou, Li Si, a gangster from Qinghe County, went to the county office to sue Li Fu, a man from Liuxi Village in Qinghe County, for failing to repay his debts. Because Li Fu himself was the head of the village, Li Si filed a lawsuit. Arrive at the county government office.
After receiving the complaint, the county government fell silent and did not respond.
Because the county magistrate went on a trip to the mountains and has not come back yet, this case needs to wait until the county magistrate comes back for trial.
Hong Baotou waited for three days with his heart pounding in oil. During these three days, Dashun Zhai was still full of guests and business was booming. It was obvious that Zhang Dashun had more than one can in his hand. Analyzing from this situation, Zhao Cheng's words should be correct, but Li Fu obviously lied.
In fact, the warehouse located in the south of the city has successfully produced more than 40 kilograms of MSG, which is enough for Dashunzhai. Even if Hong Patou waits for another three months, it will be the same.
At the same time, Li Fu also searched for three days in the cart shop in Qinghe County, and finally found the ox cart that had gone to his house to collect firewood.
"You went to my house to collect firewood three days ago, do you still remember?" Li Fu asked with red eyes.
The owner of the oxcart nodded and said, "Yes, I did go to your house to collect firewood a few days ago. How could I not remember it?"
"Okay! Great! Who hired you? Tell me!" Li Fu grabbed the ox cart owner's sleeve tightly, just like a drowning man holding on to the straw floating on the water.
The owner of the bullock cart shook his head: "I don't recognize this person. He is only responsible for pulling firewood. Who would remember this?"
"But I still have a vague impression. He is a young man. He looks... ordinary. As for his name, I really can't remember it."
Li Fu took a deep breath and said, "Where are the firewood taken away from me every time?"
"Dashunzhai, everything has been sent to Dashunzhai." The oxcart owner looked at the crazy Li Fu with confusion. He didn't know why this man was asking this.
Li Fu hurried to Dashunzhai again. Today he had to find this person.
The words that Mr. Hong said to him while standing by the pit have been hanging in Li Fu's heart these days, like a glow on his back.
Just when he reached the entrance of Dashunzhai, he saw Zhao Cheng walking out of it. Li Fu was stunned: "Are you here too?"
Since that day when he tried to force Zhou Rushuang in the ruined temple but failed, Li Fu fabricated false news about Zhou Rushuang's affair with him in the village and publicized it. He hoped that Zhao Cheng would dislike Zhou Rushuang when he heard such rumors, and it would be best to get angry. Divorce her. In that case, Li Fu can marry Zhou Rushuang right away.
Of course, his plan didn't work, and then he wanted to set up a pig-killing bureau and let Zhao Cheng sell his wife in the gambling bureau, but of course he still didn't succeed.
So when he saw Zhao Cheng, he felt guilty and subconsciously wanted to avoid him.
Zhao Cheng looked very happy: "It turns out he is Li Dashan, why is he so free?"
Li Fu hesitated and said: "Oh, let me take a look and find someone."
"Oh, who are you looking for? Let me see if I can help you find it." Zhao Cheng held a book and stood on the steps next to the door with a smile, looking at the water tank under the eaves that collected rainwater. There were several lines in it. The little crucian carp is swimming happily.
Li Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Uh... Dashunzhai has been buying firewood from my family a few days ago. I want to find that person."
"That's me, so you're looking for me." Zhao Cheng smiled even happier.
Li Fu looked at Zhao Cheng, but couldn't say a word.
He thought to himself: Yes, Sun Xiaotie said in his reply that Zhao Cheng had seen through their pig-killing plan. The game was broken and there was no way to continue.
In fact, Zhao Cheng already knew who the person behind the gambling game was.
Moreover, on the day Zhou Rushuang ran away from the ruined temple, Zhao Cheng and Zhou Rushuang never went back, so Zhao Cheng must have known about it.
That's why he deliberately purchased firewood at a high price and framed himself.
Li Fu looked at Zhao Cheng in front of him, and a surge of anger ignited in his chest. This guy almost got himself killed by framing him, and yet he was still standing here smiling!
"Zhao Cheng! Don't think you are so arrogant because you are hiding yourself. I will go to Mr. Hong to explain everything right now. Just wait for death! It's strange that Mr. Hong will let you go!"
Zhao Cheng smiled: "Li Dashan, you don't seem to understand very much. Anyway, I will give you a brief explanation."
"You and I live in the same village. I am a prodigal gambler who almost died of illness without even a penny. You gave me a secret recipe and asked me to make a very delicious condiment."
Li Fu pointed at Zhao Cheng with trembling fingers: "It's really you! It's really you!"
Zhao Cheng said nonchalantly: "But this kind of seasoning can only be sold at a good price if it is sold to a restaurant in trouble, so you chose Dashunzhai."
"Because I had to deliver goods to Dashunzhai every day, I used firewood to cover up people's eyes. Unfortunately, Mr. Hong found out."
Li Fu said loudly: "It's nonsense, it's all nonsense!!" His somewhat crazy shout attracted the attention of passers-by.
"But you didn't expect that Chief Hong would actually find your head, so you lied to him and tried to blame it all on me." Zhao Cheng looked at Hong Shengde's gold-lettered sign across the street. superior.
"You...you..." Although Li Fu was standing in the sun, he felt a chill from the soles of his feet to the sky. Zhao Cheng stood on the street and told a vicious conspiracy as easily as if he were shopping for food in the afternoon. Listen to yourself, but you have no excuse.
