189 Chapter 189 Sun Liang
After the harvest, other than the 2,000 acres of wheat, the rest of the dry land was planted with sweet potatoes.
Zhou Ying also collected some peach flowers. She planned to wait for this year’s coconuts, olives, and moon laurel to ripen and extract some oil to make some lipstick products for sale.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Chunhong came to the restaurant. Zhou Ying waited for her to show up and told Fang Qing and Chun Niang to keep an eye on her and try to understand her purpose for coming here.
Two days later, Zhou Ying learned from Chun Niang that Chunhong had asked about the hotpot recipe more than once.
But this was still in Zhou Ying’s hands, and everyone told her that.
After Zhou Ying got the news, she guessed it probably wasn’t Mrs. Liu and her son coercing Chunhong.
Who could it be, then? She called Fang Qing over and said, “For the next two days, you and the little beggars will keep an eye on Chunhong and see who she will be in contact with.
“Remember, just keep an eye on them and don’t take any risks. As for the rest, we’ll discuss it after you come back and decide what to do.”
“I understand. Leave this matter to us.” Fang Qing immediately went to find the little beggars to make arrangements.
When Chunhong knew that the recipe was in Zhou Ying’s hands and that the spices would be ground into powder every time, she knew it was impossible for her to steal the recipe.
Therefore, after finis.h.i.+ng her work at noon, Chunhong left the restaurant with the excuse that she needed to help Widow Hua buy some spools.
Seeing this, Fang Qing immediately followed her. However, he soon realized that Chunhong was being watched. In order to prevent the other party from discovering him, he had to send a little beggar to follow her.
The little beggar was brilliant. He didn’t go alone but found a friend who was begging outside to follow him.
His companion was young and dressed in beggar’s clothes, and they followed Chunhong to a small courtyard without a hitch. He inquired around the courtyard before returning to Gra.s.sland Taste Restaurant through the back door and informing Fang Qing of the news.
Then, Fang Qing led his friends to Zhou Ying and told her about it.
“Sun Liang? Who is this person again?” Zhou Ying was confused after hearing that. No matter what, she still cooked a bowl of beef noodles for his friend and said, “Eat first, but you have to remember that you can’t tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, it will put you in danger. Do you understand?”
“Manager Zhou, don’t worry. We understand.” His friend said with a smile as he chewed on the beef.
Zhou Ying looked at his lively eyes and said, “Little guy, how old are you? What’s your name?”
“My name is Zhu Zi. I’m seven years old today. Don’t worry; I’m very tight-lipped.”
“I believe you. Hurry up and eat.” Zhou Ying rea.s.sured him and turned to the kitchen. She took out two pounds of rice and handed it to him, saying, “This is the reward for this mission.”
“Thank you, Manager Zhou.” Zhu Zi immediately stood up and bowed.
Zhou Ying smiled, pinched his little face, and then went to work.
When they got home in the evening, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about the matter. “Rui, do you remember a person named Sun Liang?”
“I don’t have any impression of it. I’ll go back and ask to see who he is.”
“Alright. It’s fine if they only want to steal the recipe, but I’m afraid they’ll use some dirty means.”
Gu Chengrui nodded thoughtfully and said, “Remind the people in the kitchen to oversee the ingredients. I’ll find out as soon as possible.”
However, Zhou Ying was still worried the next day after telling everyone the news. Finally, she simply installed a camera in a hidden corner and connected it to her mobile phone.
This way, she could check it every day to prevent any accidents.
On the other end, Chunhong knew that since it was not easy to get the prescription, she had to drive a wedge between the couple first. So the next day, she was thinking of ways to get close to Gu Chengrui, causing her to be distracted.
