Chapter 23 Big Fish

Everyone left Haidaiyuan, and Li Shuang, as the host, led Chen Zheng and Qinning to wander around Dongyang County.

Chen Zheng deliberately pulled Li Shuang and fell behind a little, and asked quietly: "Brother Li, are you interested in Miss Qinning?"

Li Shuang was stunned, her face turned slightly red, and she nodded gently, which was considered an admission.

Chen Zheng had long seen that although Li Shuang always talked to him along the way, his eyes always fell on Qinning.

"Then why don't you talk to her more?" Chen Zheng asked.

Li Shuang muttered, but Chen Zheng didn't hear it clearly.

"What did you say?"

Li Shuang looked at Qin Ning in front of her and found that the other party was not paying attention behind her. She raised the volume a little and said, "I'm embarrassed."

What? Chen Zheng was a little confused. Such a young man who was a little unrestrained in speaking would be embarrassed to talk to the girl! This is really an eye-opener.

The son of the dignified county magistrate is dressed like a playboy. I feel embarrassed, are you going to lose the face of the playboys?

"Do you know what the three elements of chasing a woman are?" Chen Zheng asked.

Li Shuang shook her head and said, "I have never heard of it before, would you like to hear it carefully?"

"I tell you, you remember, the three elements of chasing women: boldness, meticulousness, shamelessness!" Chen Zheng taught as if he was a person who had experienced it.

After thinking carefully for a while, Li Shuang asked, “Is it useful?”

"Is it useful? I have a wife, do you think it's useful?" Chen Zheng said angrily.

Li Shuang looked like she suddenly realized her mind, bowed to Chen Zheng, walked forward quickly, squeezed Yinyin away, and stood beside Qinning himself.

Yin Yin rubbed her arm that was hurt by Li Shuang, muttering in her mouth, and she knew she didn't say anything good.

Seeing that Li Shuang was finally not by his side, Chen Zheng was relieved.

Originally, Chen Zheng didn't plan to go shopping with them, but when he was having dinner, he just took over Li Shuang's big order, and he didn't get the sandalwood and deposit. Of course, he had to try his best to be happy with him at this time.

In this way, Chen Zheng and Yin Yin became two light bulbs, staying behind Li Shuang and Qinning.

On several occasions, Qinning wanted to communicate with Chen Zheng on his own initiative, but Chen Zheng handed a look to Li Shuang, who pulled Qinning away and continued to talk about the world.

After Chen Zheng's guidance from "three elements of chasing women", Li Shuang was obviously in a much better state than before. She talked around Qinning, which was also a way to earn some face for the county magistrate.

Chen Zheng was not idle. Now he has a huge sum of fifteen taels of silver, so of course he has to buy more.

When they were almost in Dongyang County, Chen Zheng was already wearing big bags. In addition to the many things he bought for his wife, he also had various foods to take back and share with each company.

Li Shuang wanted to send Qinning back to the inn, so Chen Zheng walked to Yuelai Inn alone, but they had agreed that Li Shuang would send sandalwood on the second day.

After Chen Zheng returned to the inn, about half an hour later, Wei Dayong and his group also returned.

As Chen Zheng expected, all the red pine wood on the carriage was sold out, but it was sold for less than fifty taels of silver.

The silver seems to make more money than Chen Zheng, but the cost-effectiveness is far inferior to Chen Zheng.

When Wei Dayong learned that Chen Zheng's slingshot had been sold for five taels of silver, he finally felt that the red pine was selling a bit cheaper.

"Son-in-law, why don't we change careers and make slingshots in the future, which will save trouble and make money!" Wei Dayong suggested.

Chen Zheng glanced at him and smiled and said, "How many people do you think can buy a slingshot for 5 taels of silver?"

Wei Dayong was stunned, scratched his head, and said, "Yes, why can't I meet such a sucker?"

"If you want to see this sucker tomorrow, you will see this sucker." Chen Zheng said.

Wei Dayong frowned and asked, "Will he come to withdraw his slingshot tomorrow? Then let's go overnight. 5 taels of silver are not a small amount."

Chen Zheng was covered in black and said, "What are you going to get out? I have a big deal with him. Tomorrow he will send some wood and ask me to make a piece of food for him."

Wei Dayong breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his eyes and said, "Since he is a sucker, it's better to kill more money, hehe."

"Second brother, when doing business, you have to look at it for a long time. Only by setting a long line can you catch big fish." Chen Zheng looked mature.

"It's still my son-in-law who thinks carefully."

Chen Zheng patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Second brother, you still have a lot to learn!"

After saying that, Chen Zheng went to the so-called "going room" to rest.

Early the next morning, everyone had just finished their breakfast, and there was a hustle and bustle outside.

Even the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn went out in person. Chen Zheng guessed in his heart that it must be Li Shuang.

Sure enough, after a moment, Li Shuang walked in and the shopkeeper next to her laughed all the way, but Li Shuang ignored her.

Chen Zheng nodded. This guy finally had a bit of a playboy and still had great potential.

Li Shuang glanced around the lobby for a while and saw Chen Zheng. He hurried over and sat down and said, "Brother Chen, I've brought the wood, you go and take a look."

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Put down the backyard of the inn, our carriage is also there, and it is just right to load the car."

After hearing this, Li Shuang looked at the shopkeeper in a blink of an eye. The shopkeeper instantly understood and arranged for the guy to move Li Shuang's sandalwood to the backyard.

The two got up and walked towards the backyard.

Wei Dayong pulled Chen Zheng down and asked in a low voice: "Son-in-law, is this the big fish?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this by Li Shuang in front of him, he returned to the country and said, "Big fish? What big fish? Oh, Brother Chen wants to taste the specialty steamed mandarin fish in our Dongyang County?"

"This..." Chen Zheng felt a little embarrassed.

Li Shuang waved his hand and said, "Brother Chen, don't be embarrassed. I came to Dongyang County and it's a pity not to taste this mandarin fish. Yesterday, Haidaiyuan was not the best, so I didn't order it. After a while, I'll invite you to eat the most authentic steamed mandarin fish."

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Chen Zheng smiled.

Wei Dayong was shocked behind him. My son-in-law went to Haidaiyuan yesterday? He knew that it was not something that ordinary rich people could enter.

"Shopkeeper, who is this person?" Wei Dayong quietly asked the shopkeeper again.

The shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn came to Wei Dayong's ear and said, "This is the young master of Dongyang County Magistrate. Your son-in-law looks like he has a good relationship."

The prince of the county magistrate is indeed very identifiable. No wonder his son-in-law said he was a big fish.

When he reached the backyard, Wei Dayong was shocked again. There were several neat squares of sandalwood next to his carriage.
