Folklore simulation, starting with the mortician

"Master, there's something I need to mention to you!"

Mr. Lin led Li Feng into the house and said something as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What's going on?!"

Li Feng frowned, wondering what Mr. Lin was trying to say in such a mysterious way.

"This wouldn't have been a big deal before, but now it needs to be put on the agenda. What are your thoughts on this, your plans for the future?!"

Mr. Lin's question really stumped Li Feng. Indeed, given the current situation, he needed to seriously consider how to make a living.

After all, he had now settled down in Gaoyin County, and the people around him were all counting on him. Thinking of this, Li Feng couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.

"We used to say that people in our line of work didn't need to put on a show, but things are different now. Take the Green Robe Gang of Beiding Prefecture, for example. They don't dare to make such a big show of themselves just because they have a waiter behind them."

When Mr. Lin said this, his expression seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Li Feng didn't pay much attention to Mr. Lin's expression. He felt that what Mr. Lin said made sense, but he didn't know what to do.

She glanced at Mr. Lin and knew that he must have made up his mind, so she smiled and picked up the teapot on the table to pour tea for him.

Mr. Lin hurriedly took the teapot and said with a smile, "There's no custom of letting the host pour tea for us. Actually, it's not difficult. It just so happens that the host got in touch with the leader of the Qingyi Gang in Beiding Prefecture. We just asked that leader, Mr. Lin, to recruit someone for us..."

Li Feng was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Mr. Lin meant. Although he had agreed on the rules with Manager Lin, that was a matter of internal and external affairs, and there was no need to have Manager Lin come directly over. Wasn't that just stealing his business?

"Master didn't understand. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye. Think about why those waiters didn't personally go out and do business. It's because they were afraid of taking on the consequences. Master's words back then made sense. Why did they just stand by and watch the people below live and die..."

"So, we need to break this down. The waiter is the one sitting in the back, and the one in front is the one in charge, also called the 'Kitchen Guardian Association,' who leads a group of people to manage things properly. Luckily, we're all exhausted!"

"I was thinking of inviting that Manager Lin over. Firstly, it would put the lord of Beiding Prefecture at ease, assuring him that this place is still his, just that we're using it. Secondly, we can leverage his influence to avoid a lot of trouble in the future!"

After hearing Mr. Lin's words, Li Feng nodded inwardly. Mr. Lin's thinking was indeed thorough, and he had taken every step carefully. He had brought over the leader, Mr. Lin, who could also provide assistance.

Li Feng thought that it was best not to let the leader of the Lin family come directly. It would be better to send a subordinate to make a show of things, that way they could look out for him.

Although Gaoyin County may not seem very populous right now, it is located near the Tianhe River and there are no ferry crossings nearby. Once things stabilize, it will naturally become prosperous.

This is a piece of lucrative business, and many people will surely be eyeing it. This first stake must be set up.

But it also depends on whether Lin, the leader, is capable. With that in mind, Li Feng made his decision.

After returning to the house, Li Feng lit an incense stick, and after burning half of it, there was no sound for a long time.

This immediately made Li Feng's heart sink. Could something have happened over there? Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been too obvious, and the land deed should have been collected by now.

Three hours later, when it was high in the sky and the sun was blazing overhead, a reply finally arrived.

"Master Chef? Oh dear, it's all my fault, it's all my fault! Why did it take so long to get the message! It's all because that Wang Zhuzi is useless, making us drink so much wine, which is why this matter was delayed!"

The captain's words still carried a hint of drunkenness, indicating he had drunk quite a bit. However, this put Li Feng at ease, as he must have received a reward; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten so drunk.

"I wanted to talk to you about something; I'd like to do a big business deal with you!"

Just as Li Feng finished speaking, Manager Lin chimed in, "There's something I also wanted to say to the head chef. I told the old steward about our trip, and he's very happy. If he could help us with something..."

After Lin finished speaking, Li Feng's face immediately showed surprise. He didn't expect that what Lin said was exactly what he had thought of.

After thinking it over carefully, Li Feng understood. It seemed that the lord of Beiding Prefecture was definitely worried about this place and was thinking of sending someone over to keep an eye on it.

Fortunately, they hit it off immediately, and Li Feng discussed a time with Lin, who originally wanted to postpone it, fearing that Lin wouldn't have enough time to prepare. But Lin was so anxious that he wanted to set off for Li Feng's side immediately.

They also mentioned that they set off early the next morning. They thought it was Lin's men who were sent over, but they didn't expect that Lin was so anxious and wanted to come over himself.

Li Feng didn't say anything more. According to what he and Mr. Lin had discussed, the sooner the better. They shouldn't delay any longer to prevent any unforeseen problems from arising and causing trouble. It would take a lot of effort and worry.

Needless to say, Li Feng had this person help him make some repairs, and also asked Yang Liuzi to help with the arrangements. After all, Yang Liuzi was the one who knew the situation in Gaoyin County best, so it was the most appropriate for him to come.

Yang Liuzi had nothing to say, but nodded and happily agreed. Over the past few days, Yang Liuzi's spirits had become more and more lively. In the past, he was always the one being bullied, but now it was his turn to stand on his own.

Three days later, Li Feng met Lin Zhangduo and his entourage, who had come from afar, at the temple.

It seemed that Lin and his group were planning to do some big business, as they brought out all sorts of things.

After Li Feng and Lin Zhangduo finished speaking, Li Feng finally understood why Lin Zhangduo had come to him in such a hurry.

Don't be fooled by the praise he receives from the people of Beiding Prefecture; they are actually plotting against him. He saw it clearly at the victory banquet. This time, they want him to stay here as a test.

If it works out, that's great; if it doesn't, there's more to say. The lord of Beiding Prefecture seems to have other ideas about this place, but even Master Lin doesn't know much about it. He only said one sentence, which made Li Feng perk up as well. It was the young man who came with him.
