Chapter 1070 Testing
"Then let's go back to bed. It's getting late, so we should rest quickly." After saying that, Lin Hao turned around and walked towards the backyard with a smile on his lips.

Qin Huairu stamped her feet, looked at Lin Hao's back, and finally followed him, but muttered:
"Master is so bad!"

This little girl's thoughts change so often. She just said that the master was good, but now she says that the master is bad.

······
The next day, when Lin Hao got up, Qin Huairu had already bought breakfast from outside.

The main items were soy milk, fried dough sticks and meat buns, and I bought a lot of each.

After Lin Hao finished washing up, these things had already been placed on the table by Qin Huairu.

"Be sensible!" Lin Hao patted Qin Huairu's chest gently as an encouragement to her.

This is what management science says. You cannot just spur your subordinates on, you also need to encourage and reward them.

"Old Zhou at the door didn't take your money, right?" Lin Hao asked while eating.

"No, Lao Zhou said that you still have a lot of food left with him. You can have breakfast like this for another month!"

He also asked me to thank you. The price of grain has gone up a lot recently. If you hadn't sold him grain, his stall would have closed down long ago!"

Qin Huairu repeated what she said exactly.

"Let's eat together. How can I eat so much?" Lin Hao hooked his finger at Qin Huairu.

"Master, how can I eat at the same table with you?" Qin Huairu refused to sit down to eat.

"What are you talking about? Doesn't what I say have any effect now?" Lin Hao pretended to be unhappy and said:
"Okay, why don't you go back to Qinjiatun by yourself? I can't order you around anyway!"

After all, it is 48, the new world has not yet arrived, and the concept of hierarchy is still stuck in the old era.

"No, sir, please don't chase me away. I can't eat." Qin Huairu also sat down and started eating breakfast with Lin Hao.

In fact, through these few days, Qin Huairu has discovered that this master really doesn't have any airs of a master at all.

As Qin Huairu was eating, tears began to flow. She felt so happy.

It is said that a daughter who is married off is like water poured out. In her case, no matter how the master family treats her, it is not wrong. In the past, most of those who worked as maids in wealthy families did not have a good ending.

It’s a pleasure to meet a good person like Lin Hao, and he even invited her to the table to eat with him.

This was not only good for her, she also felt a sense of respect she had never felt before.

In the past, storytellers always said that a man would die for his best friend, and a woman would dress up for the man who pleases her.

She also said that she should be grateful and repay the master for allowing her to live a real life as a human being.

How can I repay you in the future? Since I have no way to repay you, I can only give you my body.

"No, this is soy milk, not soy juice. Is it so bad? Why are you crying while drinking it?" Lin Hao deliberately joked.

"No, I'm just happy!" Qin Huairu quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeves.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. This voice sounded familiar. It was the voice of Old Man He from the tavern in the front door.
When I arrived at the front yard, I heard the voice of Old Man He outside the door: "Mr. Lin, your Erguotou has been delivered!"

"Old He, you're here quite early!"

Having said that, Lin Hao asked the other party's waiter to move the wine into the front yard room. At this time, Lin Hao discovered that there was a familiar-looking person sitting in the room where the wine was being moved.

He Daqing, no, it should be Cai Quanwu. I have to say, these two people look exactly the same!

Lin Hao suspected that these two people might really be related. It would be very interesting if they met in the future.

Then Lin Hao retracted his gaze, took out 5 silver dollars and gave them to Old Man He, saying, "Here's the money. 50 silver dollars should be enough!"

"That's enough, that's enough. Together with the beer that hasn't been delivered yet, forty-six silver dollars in total will be enough. You don't need that much!" Old Man He bent down to take Lin Hao's money, then prepared to open an envelope and give Lin Hao four silver dollars in change.

"Here, take it. It's hard for you to come all the way here so early in the morning!"

Old Man He shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin, that's really not necessary. We'll just pay what we should pay. We're a small business, so we won't take less, we won't be greedy, and we'll trade fairly."

As he said this, Old Man He was about to open a letter of silver dollars, wanting to give Lin Hao four dollars.

Lin Hao felt that Old Man He was a good person. Everyone had his own way of doing business, so he didn't force him.

So he smiled and said, "Okay, don't take the money. Keep the remaining money in the tavern and keep it in the account next time you drink!"

"Thank you so much for your generosity, Mr. Lin!" Upon hearing this, Old Man He did not open the silver dollar but accepted it directly.

"Mr. Lin, let's go now. We have to go to Niulanshan to get some wine back later!"

"Okay, then take your time!"

Lin Hao returned to his room, opened the wine jar and tasted it to confirm that Old Man He did not add water to it.

If grain liquor is mixed with water, the liquor will become turbid, and it can only be mixed with distilled water. However, if the distilled water production method is incorrect, or if the environment, tools and other sanitary conditions are not adequate, it can easily affect the quality and taste of the liquor.

After settling down at home, Lin Hao said to Qin Huairu:

"Huai Ru, let's go to Chen's Silk Shop on Qianmen Street. There are many kinds of fabrics there. Let's buy you a set of clothes today!"

"If you can make your own clothes, there happens to be a sewing machine at home, you can make them yourself."

"Okay, sir!" Qin Huairu said excitedly, "I'll listen to you!"

Afterwards, Lin Hao took Qin Huairu to Chen Xueru's silk shop, selected several kinds of fabrics for her, and made several sets of clothes for her.

However, it is quite troublesome for a woman to make clothes, so Lin Hao asked Chen Xueru to help, and told Qin Huairu to go back to the courtyard after measuring the size of the clothes.

Because Lin Hao was planning to go to Qinfangju to find Yan Zhensheng and find out what he wanted to talk to him about yesterday.

However, when they arrived at Qinfangju, Yan Zhensheng was not there. He said he had gone out early in the morning.

Since there was no one there, Lin Hao was too lazy to look for him and prepared to go back to his courtyard.

But at this time, Lin Hao saw an acquaintance, a young man named Fuzi. He was among the people who went to Tangshan with Yan Zhensheng to buy grain last time.

At that time, he left a deep impression on Lin Hao. He was calm, smart and a good material.

"Fuzi, where is your boss?" Lin Hao asked directly. "Oh, it's Boss Lin, didn't our boss come to look for you?" Fuzi asked back with a puzzled look on his face.

"You came to look for me?" Lin Hao then reacted and said with a smile: "I went to Qianmen Street early in the morning, and I guess I missed it!"

Then Fuzi suddenly realized: "That's really a coincidence, he came to you yesterday!"

Lin Hao nodded and said:

"How about this? Your Qinfangju is a well-known brand and a century-old brand. I'm curious about how you make the sauce. Can you take me on a tour and wait for your boss?"

"Sure, I'll take you to the backyard right now!" Fuzi said, and then said to the shorter, darker-skinned young man next to him:
"Heizi, you take care of the store, and I'll take Mr. Lin to visit the workshop!"

"Okay!" Heizi nodded.

Then the two men came to the backyard, where a middle-aged man with gray hair, probably in his forties, was demonstrating to some young people.

My goodness, this man is moving around on the jar of soy sauce, hitting the jar with the rake in his hand.

"Boss Lin, this person is our new chef from Qinfangju. His last name is Kong, and everyone calls him Kong Laochi!" Fuzi praised proudly:
"Especially in making sauces and pickles, it is definitely one of the best in the whole capital!" Fuzi gave a thumbs up.

"Old idiot Kong~!" Lin Hao seemed to recall it, then seemed to remember something, and gave a thumbs up and praised:

"I remember now. He is the number one pickle maker at Yue Gui Zhai. If you can invite him to Qin Fang Ju, then your boss Yan will be very rich!"

"Qinfangju is already a century-old brand. Now with the addition of this sauce-making expert, it is like adding wings to a tiger. It will surely soar to the sky in the future!"

"Thank you for your good words!" Fu Zi also said with a smile.

Then he led Lin Hao to the main room in the front yard, had someone serve Lin Hao some tea, and then started chatting with Lin Hao.

The topic had always revolved around food, but as the conversation went on, it turned to medicine, and finally to Lin Hao's sworn brothers.

Fukuko was particularly interested in Jin Hai, the prison warden. Finally, Fukuko said casually:
"By the way, Boss Lin, I have always had a question. I wonder if I should ask it or not?"

After hearing this, Lin Hao turned his head and stared at the young man Fuzi, then chuckled and said:
"Fuzi, let me teach you a lesson. Generally speaking, if you have something you want to say but don't know whether you should say it, or a question you don't know whether you should ask, then try not to say it or ask it."

"Because the question you are going to ask next is something that even you realize the other party is unwilling to answer, or the words you are going to say next are something the other party definitely doesn't want to hear."

"So, let's get straight to the point and be direct!" Lin Hao said calmly.

After saying that, Lin Hao looked at Fu Zi with sharp eyes, and Fu Zi immediately felt as if he was completely seen through.

But in order to complete the task, Fuzi decided to ask, because he didn't have much time left and Yan Zhensheng might come back at any time, so he had to seize this rare opportunity.

"It's not that difficult at all!"

"Stop, I know what you want to ask, but do you think you can ask it here? There are so many people talking!"

"I felt that something was wrong with you last time. Your behavior along the way was totally unlike that of an ordinary person."

"I actually already had some guesses about your identity, but I just pretended I didn't know."

"As for the questions you want to ask me, it's better for us to find a quiet place to talk alone, and it's better not to involve your boss!"

Fuzi was startled when he heard this, and immediately realized his problem, so he nodded solemnly and said:

"Then let's go out and talk!"

"Let's go!" Then Lin Hao followed Fu Zi and left the front yard of Qinfangju.

Afterwards, the two came to a teahouse. There were few customers inside, and the storyteller was still telling the same story he had told countless times.

After the waiter served the two of them tea, Fuzi looked at Lin Hao with a puzzled look in his eyes and said:

"Mr. Lin guessed who I am, but I don't know if it's true or not!"

"Haha, I guess you are from Yanzhou, right?" Lin Hao raised his eyebrows and said, the other party was weighing his quality.

"Then I wonder who Mr. Lin is?" Fuzi stared at Lin Hao and asked.

"I am just an ordinary person, an ordinary businessman!" Lin Hao said with a chuckle.

Fuzi was a little crazy. The last time he brought back food, he was able to take out so many arms to arm the convoy, and later he sold a large amount of penicillin. How could Lin Hao be an ordinary businessman, fooling a child?

So Fuzi got straight to the point:

"Mr. Lin, we want to know which faction you belong to. You have something in your hand that cannot be bought by ordinary businessmen!"

"Haha!" Lin Hao smiled faintly, then restrained his smile and said:

"I don't belong to any faction. I am just a businessman. As long as you ask for something, I can satisfy you!"

"A businessman who can boast that he can satisfy any request is not an ordinary businessman!" Fuzi raised his eyebrows, and then asked with some doubt:
"But I don't understand why you helped Boss Yan before? After all, there is no connection between you two!"

"And Mr. Lou, the boss of the steel mill, you sold grain to him three times. I heard you sold a batch of penicillin to the hospital!"

Originally, Fuzi wanted to ask Lin Hao if he helped kill Wu Youren and his brothers. After all, he told Lin Hao about Wu Youren that day, and their brothers died that night. How could it be such a coincidence?

Not only Yan Zhensheng was curious about this question, but Fu Zi also felt confused.

But that would be too direct and the topic was too sensitive. The key point was that his mission was to get the medicines and food in Lin Hao's hands, not to find out whether Lin Hao was dealing with the scum of society.

Lin Hao certainly understood what Fuzi meant. After thinking for a while, he said:
"In fact, I can't stand some people in the capital now. We ordinary people are already living a hard life, but those unscrupulous businessmen are taking the opportunity to hoard goods, and the officials are extorting money at will!"

"Don't even mention your boss Yan Zhensheng who was robbed by someone. Even Mr. Lou of Lou's Steel Mill was exploited by those grain merchants and officials."

"So, I punished those bastards a little bit, and at the same time, I sold food to Mr. Lou and medicine to the hospital!"

Lin Hao's words were very vague, but Fuzi already understood that it was Lin Hao who did it to the Wu Youren brothers.

However, this was not his mission, and sniping a bully like Wu Youren was a good thing. It was just that they were limited by the above regulations and could not take direct action.

Seeing that Lin Hao spoke directly to the point, Fuzi stated his purpose.

"Mr. Lin just said that as long as we need it, you can get anything. I wonder if we can purchase medicines and food from you?" After saying that, Fuzi looked at Lin Hao nervously.
