Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

When the baby Lin was born, the Chen family held a grand banquet.

From the entrance of Chen's house to the corner of the street, there were thirty tables of buffets. No gifts were required, just sit down and eat.

A high platform was also built at the entrance of the Chen Mansion. In addition to Xie Qinghuan and Pang Qiuyan, the two spokespersons for Chen products, Qi Meng from Tingxue Tower and Qing Cheng from Yanfei Tower also performed on the stage to celebrate the birth of their son to the Chen family.

In addition, the two major brands, Hongyanzui from Guhonglou and Qiuyi Nong from Xu’s Cloth Shop, also have discounts across the board to celebrate the birth of the youngest master of the Chen family.

Dean Ma of the Academy of Painting called on all the students in the academy to paint a huge picture of "A Son Sent from Heaven" and give it to Chen Lang as a gift.

Tang Kewei, the young master of Tang's cloth shop, sent eight bear paws, two tiger penises and thirty kilograms of blood bird's nest as gifts.

Ma Jiaqi, the young master of Tingxue Tower, sent a pair of jade ruyi as a gift.

Chang Anmin, the magistrate of Linshui County, and Wang Yunzhang, the director of the Market Administration, also sent gifts. Although they were not expensive, receiving congratulations from these two adults for having a baby was enough to make other merchants in Linshui County envious to the point of going crazy.

Through this incident, the merchants and people of Linshui County realized that Chen Lang's influence in Linshui County was even greater than they had imagined.

It can even be said that Chen Lang has become a tycoon in the business world of Linshui County, and is on the same track as the Ma family and the Min family.

While the Chen family was in high spirits, Min Qingshu and Rui Xin "ran into each other" by chance in a small teahouse by the Fen River.

"Brother Rui, Chen Lang is holding a banquet today. Why are you not going to the banquet but running to a place like this to drink tea alone?" Min Qingshu asked.

Rui Xin glanced at Min Qingshu and said, "You're asking even though you already know the answer."

"What does Chen Lang's son have to do with Xu Mengru? He wasn't her biological son." Min Qingshu said with a smile.

Rui Xin asked, "You came all this way here just to ridicule me?"

Min Qingshu said, "Brother Rui, please don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of mocking or ridiculing you."

"I just want to ask you, what do you think about the thing I asked you before?"

Rui Xin put down the teacup and frowned, "Could it be that the rumors outside are true? Is there something wrong with your family?"

Min Qingshu said, "Where did these rumors come from? Brother Rui actually believed these nonsense."

"Then why are you looking for me so urgently?" Rui Xin asked.

Min Qingshu said, "We are simply short of manpower. This is our first time as an imperial merchant, so we don't have enough experience. Several of our old stewards have fallen ill one after another, and we are suddenly short of manpower."

“So I thought, it would be nice to have more experienced people.”

Rui Xin took out a piece of silver and placed it on the table, saying, "I'm not interested. Goodbye."

Min Qingshu looked at Rui Xin's receding back, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more sharp.

Half an hour later, another person came to him.

This man was also a manager of Xu's Cloth Shop. His surname was Qian and he was hired by Xu Mengru in Linshui. He was not an old man from Nanhe County, so he did not have much loyalty to Xu Mengru. He was a person who did things completely for money.

When Manager Qian came in, he asked directly, "Master Min, is there really a problem with the Min family?"

Min Qingshu smiled calmly and said, "Manager Qian, if anything happens to our Min family, you will be in trouble too."

Manager Qian poured himself a cup of cold tea, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "I saw Jian Zhong yesterday and was shocked."

"He looked more than ten years older, his eyes were bloodshot, and his legs seemed to be unsteady when he walked, as if he would fall at any moment."

"Master Min, what happened to make Jian Zhong look so haggard?"

Min Qingshu said: "I should be the one asking you this!"

"Are you sure that the recipe was written by Xu Mengru herself?"

Manager Qian said, "It's absolutely true!"

"Although I didn't gain Xu Mengru's complete trust, Shopkeeper Hou completely trusted me. It was Shopkeeper Hou who showed me the original copy of that recipe."

Min Qingshu asked, "Are you sure you remembered the above content correctly?"

Manager Qian said, "Master Min, you can question me on anything else, but on this matter, please give me the damn respect!"

Min Qingshu took a deep breath and said, "There's something wrong with the recipe."

Manager Qian's expression suddenly changed. "It really is..."

Min Qingshu stared at Manager Qian: "What is it?"

Manager Qian said, "A few days ago, I was drinking with Shopkeeper Hou. He got drunk and said something."

"What did he say?" Min Qingshu asked.

Manager Qian replied cautiously, "He said...Mr. Chen is a genius who solved a major problem."

Min Qingshu suddenly clenched the teacup in his hand.

……

When I left the teahouse and returned home, it was already the first watch.

"Young Master, the master has instructed you to go directly to the side hall when you come back. The owners of the cloth shops are all there." A servant stepped forward and whispered.

Min Qingshu handed him his coat and walked straight to the side hall.

When I reached the door of the side hall, I heard a heated argument coming from inside.

"We agreed on three days, then three days, then three days, then three days again. It's been almost half a month, and it's still not resolved! What are you doing for a living?"

This was the voice of his father Min Tianxing. In Min Qingshu's memory, his father had not spoken so loudly and roared like this for a long time.

It is also because the consequences of this incident are too serious. If it is not handled properly, the whole family will be in danger.

"Master, we have tried our best."

"After receiving the formula, the chefs at home spent more than half a month analyzing it. During this time, they made various attempts, but they concluded that the proportions in the formula cannot be changed in any way. Even a slight change, like the thickness of a hair, will make a huge difference in the final color."

"There's really no way to solve this situation right now. Perhaps we can only hope for God's will..."

"God's will? God's will, your mother! I've spent a huge amount of money to support you all these years, not to let you pin everything on God's will!"

"If you don't rely on God's will, there is only one solution left."

"what?"

"Go find the inventor of the recipe and ask her to find a solution."

"You fucking..."

The room instantly fell silent, leaving only the anxious breathing of the crowd.

Min Qingshu took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and said, "Father, we must have been fooled by Chen Lang."

Min Tianxing stood with his back to the door. After hearing this, he turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

Min Qingshu said, "I went to see Qian, the manager of Xu's Cloth Shop. He said that Hou, the shopkeeper, mentioned after getting drunk that Chen Lang had solved a big problem."

"I figured the problem was the fading of the recipe."

Min Tianxing shouted, "That's impossible, Chen Lang, he knows nothing about dyeing and weaving!"
