The wicked female cannon fodder has arrived home

Chapter 193 Unable to Enter the Mountain Gate

"What if one day a surprise attack hits my brother-in-law? What should I do?"

Rong Yi's eyelids couldn't help but tighten. This kind of master was really too dangerous.

If he really confronted him, he could not guarantee that he would be safe at all times and would not be defeated by the other party.

"Zhuo Chi is right. I was too impatient."

"Brother-in-law, tomorrow we can go up the mountain under the pretext of buying some fruit. I have already sent someone to find out. They are selling some new and exotic fruits and vegetables recently. They are selling quite well. They will occasionally sell them in the county town, but if they cannot find any, we can go up the mountain to buy them."

"This is our chance."

"As soon as I entered Daxiling, I heard the legends about this mountain and river being so magical, but I felt that it was strange everywhere. Perhaps I could understand the mystery by going up the mountain."

Rong Yi's eyes darkened. It was indeed strange.

Mountain God? How can you believe such a deceptive lie?

Ah!

The next day, Rong Yi and his brother-in-law Yan Zhuochi drove a horse-drawn carriage to the foot of the mountain.

Since Li Qingzhi moved to the villa at the foot of the mountain, he quit his original job and stayed here to do the work of guarding the mountain and the river. He earned fifty silver coins a day, which was easy and comfortable. He could also play with his wife and children every day. It was much better than working hard to earn ten silver coins a day.

Ever since Hua Xiang reminded him recently, he began to gradually improve the rules of guarding the mountain gate.

Every time someone comes in or out, they have to register. The control is very strict and no strangers are allowed in.

You can order any fruit you want here, and after you place the order, you can bring it down the mountain to buy it, or have it delivered to your door, but we will never let you go up the mountain.

Fortunately, Li Qingzhi and Li Xiangrong had learned to read, otherwise they would not have been able to do this job.

Rong Yi and his friends arrived at an unfortunate time, as they arrived at a time when the control was particularly strict and they were not allowed to enter at all.

"Excuse me, what are your names, where are you from, and what do you want? Just tell me and I'll deliver it to you right away."

Li Qingzhi had already taken out the register of people coming and going and was making records.

Rong Yi glanced at Yan Zhuochi. Didn’t he say that we could go up the mountain?

Why were you stopped here?

Still need to register?

Look at the style, it’s almost catching up with the royal aristocracy!

Still can't enter?

Yan Zhuochi was also confused. It was just a mountain and stream. What was there that was not allowed to enter?

Is there something shameful inside?

Is there really a secret?

Otherwise, why would entry be prohibited?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it became. Yan Zhuochi had already made up his mind that he must find a way to get in and find out what was going on inside.

"It's like this. We two are from outside, we are from Beiliang. This is my brother-in-law, Huang Dayi, and my name is Zheng Yan. I heard that there are some new and exotic fruits growing here, and they taste especially good. It is said that they are the divine fruits bestowed by the mountain goddess, so I want to buy some to try and see if they are as delicious as the legend says."

"I heard there is a fruit called strawberry, and another kind of fruit that is also a vegetable called cherry tomatoes. We want to buy two kilograms of both to try them out."

“I wonder if this guy could sell us some.”

Yan Zhuochi behaved extremely politely, spoke courteously and gently, and even registered and signed the names of both persons in person.

Li Qingzhi said with a smile.

"We are in Xishan for business, so of course we can sell them. You two wait here, I'll get you two kilograms of strawberries and cherry tomatoes."

"But the price of our strawberries and cherry tomatoes is no longer the same as before. The price has increased. It's ten taels of silver per pound. Do you still want to buy some?"

Rong Yi narrowed his eyes. Ten taels of silver per pound?

What a lion!

Why not grab it?

How is this different from robbing money?

He wanted to see the taste of the strawberries and cherry tomatoes and see if they were really worth the price.

"Yes, give me two pounds each."

Rong Yi took out forty taels of silver notes with great generosity.

Li Qingzhi took the money without changing his expression and registered the transaction.

"Shun Niang, go up the mountain and get two pounds of strawberries and the Saint Lady."

Now that he has this money, Li Qingzhi has been able to remain calm and composed.

Occasionally, a few customers would come here after hearing the news and buy a few pounds to take home to try.

He has become numb from receiving money.

Not long after, Shuniang came back riding an electric tricycle, carrying four kilograms of fruit.

It is very convenient to go back and forth with a tricycle. It goes up and down the mountain very quickly and the guests don’t have to wait too long.

The tricycle stopped in the back garden, and Shu Niang carried four pounds of fruit into the front courtyard.

"The fruits that the two guests ordered have been packed for you. You can also place additional orders if you need them. As long as they are in the nearby county town, they can be delivered to the guests on time. Take care!"

Returned to the private residence in Jishui County.

Yan Zhuochi gave Rong Yi an idea.

“Although Xishan prohibits outsiders from entering, there are still loopholes.”

"I heard that many farmers and workers have to go up the mountain to work every day, and Xishan only accepts people from Xiaohe Village. We can use the people from Xiaohe Village to go up the mountain to work, and then we can investigate the inside."

"Why not let Rong Feng go over there?"

Rong Yi's eyes lit up as he ate the fruit that the maid had washed and brought to him.

This fruit is indeed sweet, with a fresh natural fragrance.

"Zhuo Chi, try this fruit right away. It is really top-grade!"

"No wonder it can be sold at such a high price. If we can take over the business of Xishan, if we can take Xishan for ourselves, this will be the most legitimate way to make money."

Rong Yi ate as he spoke, eating cherry tomatoes one by one, and couldn't stop.

I was even more surprised when I ate the strawberries. How could there be such delicious fruits in the world?

It is really no worse than the tribute fruits in the palace!

Yan Zhuochi tasted a strawberry and his eyes shone with gold.

"It tastes great. It really is a good thing that makes money quickly."

"If there is a chance, we must take this mountain."

"It is said that there are more than just these two fruits in this mountain stream. There are also many new and unique foods that have never been seen before."

"I have also heard reports from below that rare roses have been planted on the mountain. Roses of various colors are blooming all over the mountain, covering more than a hundred acres."

"This mountain and river is truly a treasure land, a land that truly produces gold."

"This mountain and river is full of treasures."

Originally, he didn't want to have a conflict with the woman named Bai Zhi, after all, she was a master.

Besides, the other party is here, and it is difficult to hide if he provokes him. If the other party succeeds, his life will be in danger.

But if it is profitable and can take over Xishan, it might not be a bad idea to give it a try.

Staring at the strawberries in his hand with burning eyes, Yan Zhuochi's heart was filled with emotions.

If we take this thing to the Beiliang Imperial City, wouldn't we make a fortune?
