Chapter 2688: Looking for Master Xu
, The fastest update of the goddess’s son-in-law (also known as: Goddess’s super son-in-law, protagonist: Zhao Xu) !
While Zhao Xu was busy refining the "Fuyuan Pill", he asked Wu Zhengjun, who was in the provincial capital, to help him collect various medicinal materials needed to refine the "Body Body Strengthening Pill".
This time, Zhao Xu needed a lot of medicinal materials.
Just Jiutang and Beizhu Gang, there are at least a few hundred people.
Wu Zhengjun told Zhao Xu that it would take at least half a month to collect all these medicinal herbs.
Zhao Xu calculated the date. It was almost time for the pill to be completed.
Refining low- and intermediate-level elixirs, the last day and three days are the key dates. Refining medium- and high-level elixirs in the last week is the key dates.
By that time, Zhao Xu would not dare to walk around casually, and had to watch the alchemy room carefully. So, while he asked Wu Zhengjun to collect medicinal materials, he was waiting for Su Rou's news.
As long as Xu Fangtu can be found, there will be a furnace and cauldron to refine the pills. Otherwise, so many people need to take "body-strengthening pills", and Zhao Xu only has one pill furnace, which is not enough.
Two days later, Su Rou called and said that Xu Fangxu's family had moved to L Province, Dan City.
After Su Rou gave Zhao Xu a detailed address, Zhao Xu was worried that the alchemy would be a mess, so she asked Chen Xiaodao to go to Dan City to find Xu Fangtu.
Chen Xiaodao knew that this matter was very important to Zhao Xu, so he drove straight to L Province and Dan City with Nongquan.
With the detailed address given by Su Rou, it is easy to find Xu Fangtu's home.
What shocked Chen Xiaodao was that the Xu family actually lived in a dilapidated house.
When I visit someone for the first time, I have to bring some gifts.
After Chen Xiaodao stepped on it, he brought Nongquan to buy a gift and came to the Xu family again.
Before Chen Xiaodao could shout, Nong Quan shouted: "Hey, is anyone here?"
Nong Quan's voice was already loud, which made Chen Xiaodao's eardrum buzz.
Chen Xiaodao said to Nong Quan: "You can't just say something lighter, be careful to scare others!"
Nong Quan smiled and said, "I'm afraid they won't hear it!"
At this time, the door opened and a man, who was about fifty years old, walked out.
The man was not shaved, his green stubble was covered with his mouth, and he looked unkempt and down.
Seeing that Chen Xiaodao and Nong Quan were two strangers, the man frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Chen Xiaodao said politely to the man: "Uncle, is this the home of Master Xu Fangtu?"
"Yes!" the man nodded and asked immediately, "Are you..."
Chen Xiaodao explained: "I heard that Master Xu is good at casting furnaces and cauldrons, so we came here to ask Master Xu to help cast the cauldrons."
"I'm sorry, my father is gone!"
Chen Xiaodao was shocked when he heard this and asked, "When did it happen?"
"Five days ago!"
"Please mourn me!" Chen Xiaodao saluted the man.
"Then, who can still cast a tripod in your Xu family?"
"Sorry! Our Xu family will not cast a tripod in the future."
"Why?"
"because......"
Before the man could explain it completely, a loud shout came.
"Xu Tang, how are you preparing?"
Chen Xiaodao and Nong Quan looked back and saw four people walking into the alley.
They all have a tiger-back and bear-bearing waist, wear big gold chains around their necks, and wear marten coats. They look like they are not good at sluts.
The man named Xu Tang was obviously afraid of these people. He replied carefully: "Brother, have I told you about it? My father just got buried and had to go to your place to work after the first seventh."
"Hmph! Don't think of running. I owe us so much money, enough for you to work for decades. If you dare to run, we will break your legs."
"Don't worry, I will definitely pay back the money."
The leader glanced at Chen Xiaodao and Nongquan and asked, "Who are you?"
Nongquan glared at his eyes and shouted, "Who are we? It's all your business!"
"you......"
The man didn't expect Nongquan to have such a hot temper. He warned Nongquan and Chen Xiaodao: "The Xu family owes us a lot of money. If you don't have a relationship with them, it's better to stay away from them."
"You try to glar at me again?" Nong Quan was about to take action when he saw this.
Chen Xiaodao immediately dissuaded Nongquan and said, "Nongquan, shut up!"
Nong Quan glared at the other party fiercely, wishing to beat the other party to the ground and rub it immediately.
When the other party saw that the Nongquan man was tall and big, he didn't dare to say anything mean.
He let out a heavy "hum!" in his nose, then turned around and left the Xu family.
After these people left, Chen Xiaodao asked Xu Tang: "Uncle Xu, what's going on?"
Xu Tang sighed and said, "You also know that my Xu family is a craftsman. But these days, craftsmen are starved to death! After we moved here, we originally wanted to make a living by Zucheng's craftsmanship. I borrowed money from those people and started a foundry company. But because we were made by hand, the production cost was extremely high and we could not deal with the market, so people didn't buy our accounts at all. In this way, the debts owed more and more."
It is a fact that business is difficult to do now.
Because, easy-to-do businesses are monopolized by some large companies.
It’s okay for some large companies with conscience to support some small companies in disguise. However, some large companies only care about their own interests and ignore the lives of others.
Traditional craftsmen like the Xu family are expected to lose money when doing business.
After all, the furnace and cauldron handmade by the Xu family not only has high production costs, but now, except for some temples and temples, there are few places that require furnace and cauldron.
It can be said that the furnace and tripod have become an unpopular product.
It can be seen from this that although the Xu family has good skills, it is not suitable for business.
Chen Xiaodao said to Xu Tang: "Those people are specialized in lending companies, right?"
Xu Tang nodded and said, "It would be fine if it was a company that specializes in lending. The company's background is very strong, and our Xu family can't afford to provoke it."
"oh?"
Chen Xiaodao became very interested and asked, "Who is their background?"
Xu Tang shook his head and said, "I don't know!", only knowing that the other party can't afford to provoke him.
"Then how much money do you owe them?"
"More than three million!" Xu Tang said.
As a private detective, Chen Xiaodao naturally understands the ways of these loan companies.
This kind of loan company has much higher interest rates than bank loans. If it is more than three million, it will make the Xu family owe more and more money.
"Uncle Xu, where do they ask you to go to work?" Chen Xiaodao asked casually.
He always felt that it was a bit unrealistic to ask Xu Tang to go to work to pay off the three million debt.
Xu Tang said: "Go to a company that makes weapons by hand. I don't know what kind of company it is. Anyway, they told me that my Xu family's construction technology is good. I can help build handmade weapons."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaodao felt "sudden!"
Hand-made weapons are like swords, swords, etc.
