Chapter 1123: The County Buying Peanuts
Translator: Lonelytree
After arriving at the county town, Little Green could not help but feel excited!
He had followed his master here a few times before, but they were all in the shape of jade bracelets. He followed Lin Yuelan around to look around, but he didn’t feel any excitement or experience at that time.
However, now that he had become a human and could walk around, the feeling was different.
Excitement, joy and all sorts of emotions intertwined.
When they arrived at the county town, Lin Deshan and the others went straight to the restaurant.
The restaurant’s manager was originally Zhang Yuanbin.
However, Zhang Yuanbin was transferred to the restaurant in Zhoushan City by Lin Yuelan as the manager.
The current manager of the restaurant was still surnamed Zhang. He was recommended by Zhang Yuanbin.
When Shopkeeper Zhang saw the old man leading a three or four-year-old child into the restaurant, he was slightly stunned at first. Then, he quickly walked up to him and called out respectfully, I ‘ Old man, why are you here?
Lin Deshan said to Shopkeeper Zhang, ” Little Green has something to do in the city, so he came to take a look! ‘
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Little Green and said in surprise, ‘I Old Master, could this be Little Young Master?
“Yes!” Lin Deshan replied, ” Get the kitchen to prepare some food first. Little Green has been traveling for half a day. He’s a little tired and hungry.
Shopkeeper Zhang immediately said) ” Old Master, Little Young Master, then go to your room to rest first. After the kitchen is done cooking, I’ll send it to your room! ‘
Lin Yuelan, Lin Deshan, and the rest had their own rooms in the restaurant. As for the others, Liu Yichen and Lou Ye, who was following behind them, had Shopkeeper Zhang arrange another room for them.
There was no doubt that Little Green was in the same room as Lin Deshan.
Lin Deshan shook his head and said, No need. Just bring these dishes to the private room and then make an announcement that our restaurant is buying peanuts for three days.
When Shopkeeper Zhang heard about buying peanuts, he immediately asked in confusion, ” Buying peanuts? Old Master, how much do you want?”
“The more, the better!” Little Green interrupted.
“The more, the better?” Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Lin Deshan with some doubt as if he was confirming it.
Lin Deshan nodded. ” That’s right. The more, the better. Also, I don’t want any peanuts with worms or mold!”
Shopkeeper Zhang immediately replied, ” Yes, Old Master!
“Grandpa, I’ll be the supervisor for the next three days!” Little Green looked at Lin Deshan and said with a firm tone.
Some farmers were very cunning. They washed the moldy peanuts and cleaned them. It was impossible to tell that they had mold before. This way, it was easy to fool them.
However, Little Green could recognize it at a glance.
Lin Deshan couldn’t argue with Little Green, so he could only nod and agree, Alright, alright. My eldest grandson will be the supervisor, so it’ll be the same in Lin’s Garden! ‘
Little Green’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, Thank you, Grandpa!
Lin Deshan then instructed Lin Dawei, ” David, take care of Little Green these few days. The child is so young. Don’t tire him out!
Lin Dawei immediately replied respectfully, ” Old Master, of course!”
Lin Deshan nodded his head and instructed Lin Xuling, who was beside him, in a serious tone, ” Guard Ling, I’ll leave the young master’s safety to you for the next three days! You have to protect the young master well, understand?”
Lin Xuling replied respectfully, ” Even if Old Master doesn’t instruct me, I will definitely protect Little Young Master and Old Master!
Lin Deshan emphasized once again, ” Wherever Little Master goes, you must follow him closely, understand? ‘
Lin Xuling also said seriously, ” Yes, Old Master!
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at this fair, chubby, round-headed, and cute young master and could not help but fall in love with him. He understood the old man’s worry and nervousness.
Shopkeeper Zhang said, ‘I Old Master, Young Master, you’ve traveled for half a day. Go to the room and wash up first. I’ll get someone to immediately send out the announcement of the purchase of peanuts!”
Lin Deshan nodded.
Then, he led Little Green upstairs, followed closely by three guards.
Lin Dawei stayed behind and told Shopkeeper Zhang what kind of peanuts they wanted and what price they offered.
Shopkeeper Zhang noted down all of them. Then, he instructed the waiter to post a notice outside and beat the gong to announce the news.
However, he was very puzzled.
Peanuts were just snacks for farmers to eat. Why did the owner want to collect so many peanuts?
The more peanuts he bought, the better, but could he finish them all?
The moment they announced the purchase of peanuts to the restaurant, the people in the county immediately went into an uproar.
‘ Ni Lai Wo Wang Restaurant is buying peanuts. One catty costs eight copper coins, which is higher than the price of fine rice sold by farmers. No matter how many you have, as long as there are no worms, no rotten peanuts, and no moldy peanuts, the restaurant will buy as many as you have. The time limit is three days. After three days, there would be no more purchases!”
After confirming that the peanuts were real, many people immediately stopped shopping and buying things. Some of the street vendors quickly packed up and went back to their homes to bring the remaining peanuts to sell. Anyway, they were just snacks at home. One catty was eight coins. This price was not low. They might as well exchange it for some money.
Moreover, there were only three days. If he missed this opportunity, he did not know if this restaurant would buy it in the future.
No one expected that an ordinary acquisition would cause such a huge sensation.
Not long after the announcement was made, the villagers from the nearby villages came over with their peanuts.
However, it was similar to the situation in Lin’s Garden. Everyone didn’t have many peanuts in their hands. The smallest was just a few taels, and the largest was just a few catties.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the noisy crowd outside the restaurant, who were waiting to sell peanuts, and said, ” Fellow villagers, why don’t you sit in the lobby for a while? Or you can line up and wait for a while. The manager of purchasing peanuts is having his meal. When he comes out after his meal, he will see everyone!”
Ni Lai Wo Wang Restaurant was already the number one restaurant in Anding County. The level of luxury inside was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Therefore, in the eyes of these country bumpkins, the restaurant was very high-class. Usually, they did not even dare to set foot in it. Just standing at the door and watching made them feel inferior.
They looked at the clean and luxurious hall and did not dare to take a step forward.
Then, they went to line up.
Sitting in the hall and waiting made them very uncomfortable.
Only a few people were sitting on the chairs in the hall, curiously sizing up the good things that they had never seen before in the restaurant.
However, looking at the line that was getting longer and longer, they could no longer sit still and immediately went to line up.
By the time Lin Deshan, Little Green, and the others came down, the line had already stretched from the street to the alley.
Seeing Lin Deshan and the others come out, Shopkeeper Zhang immediately went forward and said, Old master, these people are here to sell peanuts.
What do you think? ‘
Lin Deshan waved his hand and said, Since you’re all here, let’s begin!
As he spoke, Lin Dawei took the scale from the carriage and brought the basket over.
Lin Dawei stood in front of them, tall and mighty. His stern face gave people a sense of fear.
He said, ” We won’t accept any peanuts that don’t pass the test! If anyone causes trouble, we will chase them out. There’s nothing to say!’ Then, he said to Little Green, ” Young Master, let’s begin!
Little Green nodded seriously. ” Yes! ‘
Then, when weighing, he carefully checked the quality of these peanuts one by one.
When everyone saw such a small and cute child being so serious, they immediately laughed.
“Young Master, you’re so young. What can you tell?”
Little Green had a serious expression on his face as he replied seriously, ” My eyes are good. No bad peanuts can escape my eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed out loud and did not take him seriously.
However, as Little Green took out the rotten peanuts one by one or picked out the fine sand and stones inside, everyone realized that Little Green was putting on an act.
“You can’t do this. You put some sand in it) ” Little Green pointed at the peanuts that the short man wrapped in coarse cloth seriously. ‘i Your peanuts don’t look more than a catty in total, but you only put one or two taels of sand in it! Let me give you a piece of advice. Why don’t you pour out the sand, wash it, and dry it? Come back next time, or you can go back directly. We won’t accept such fake things.”
The man’s expression turned ugly when he heard that, but he could only reply, ‘I I’ll go back and clean up first!
After this person left, everyone looked at this child with a strange gaze. Those who had ulterior motives immediately felt uneasy.
As expected…
“How long have you kept these peanuts? They’re all moldy.”
