Chapter 162: Among the mysteries

"Lin San, is this true, is this true?" The eldest lady looked at her slender palm in disbelief, it was still so white and smooth, as if it was just a simple wash of hands, this is amazing .

"Don't believe me? You can wash it again. But I can't guarantee that you won't be fried into a pig's trotter this time." Lin Wanrong laughed.

The bubbles under the oil have been exhausted, and the oil in the pot is really boiling. Now ten little hands go down, and ten fried pig's trotters will be fished out.

"Impossible, this is impossible." Tao Dongcheng seemed to be crazy, and rushed forward all of a sudden, reaching out his hand to go into the oil pan.

"Brother—" Wanying, who was following him, had been paying attention to his movements all the time. When she saw him going crazy, she immediately stretched out her hand to hold him, but it was still a step late, and Tao Dongcheng's fingers had already been halfway in.

The scream of "Ah" immediately shocked everyone. Although the five fingers of Tao Dongcheng's right hand are only half in, the power of the hot oil pan should not be underestimated. After a scream, he quickly withdrew his palm, but his five fingers were already red and prickly, and big blisters formed within a short while.

"You, you, how is this possible—" Tao Dongcheng's face was ashen, with piercing pain coming from his fingers, he pointed at Lin Wanrong and said, "You are a demon."

Tao Wanying hurriedly found sesame oil and bandaged it for her brother. Five fingers connected to the heart, and the severe pain from the fingers made Tao Dongcheng scream again.

Wanying took a look at her brother's injury, and although her finger was only half in, the power of the boiling oil is no small matter, this palm is just fine. I'm afraid it's not as neat as before.

"Lin San, you have used demonic methods to harm my brother. I will not let you go." Tao Wanying looked at Lin Wanrong, with angry flames shooting out of her eyes.

Everyone in the hall is strange. It's not that Lin San really knows how to demonize. It was so easy for the eldest lady to reach out to withdraw the money just now, why did Mr. Tao change his appearance when it was his turn

"Demonic method?" Lin Wanrong sneered: "Miss Tao, today's competition, all the brothers and sisters in the hall saw it with their own eyes, and Mr. Xu notarized it. How did you see that I used the demonic method? It was Mr. Tao who suddenly suggested that he had already made sufficient preparations, but my Xiao family rushed to fight, which was very unfair to the Xiao family. He bullied the Xiao family to be full of women. He also used his status and power in the Jinling Chamber of Commerce to force a weak There is right and wrong in the confrontation between the hostile girl and him. Everyone can see clearly. If Mr. Tao wins, will you say that your brother used some evil methods, and will you call for grievances for the Xiao family?"

Tao Wanying glanced at him angrily. Although she hated Lin San, she had to admit that Lin San was right.

"Everyone in the world has selfish intentions. It's understandable, but like you, you don't distinguish between black and white and confuse the public. You can only win, but you can't lose. You just think that your Tao family is really the best in the world? It's a joke." Lin Wanrong disdain She took a quick look at Tao Wanying.

"Then what's going on with this frying pan to wash your hands? Why is my elder brother seriously injured while sister Yuruo is fine?" Tao Wanying said angrily.

"Everything in the world has physics. This is the science of nature." Lin Wanrong said: "Besides, I have given Mr. Tao a chance to withdraw money before the eldest lady, but he is timid. He gave up the opportunity. On the other hand Miss, the Xiao family has been driven to a dead end by your Tao family. Even if she does not have this hand, she will definitely be able to fetch things from a frying pan. How can such spirit and will be compared to your brother? Having said that, this The competition was proposed by your elder brother, he learned this lesson, he deserves to be blamed, but how can he blame others?"

This remark made sense, and everyone in the hall nodded. Today, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chambers of commerce jointly threatened the Xiao family. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. Tao Dongcheng proposed the competition first, so I really can't blame others.

"Young Master Tao, this competition was proposed by you, and there is an old man who is just and willing to admit defeat. What else do you have to say?" Xu Wei looked at Tao Dongcheng and said.

Since it is a best-of-three system, the Xiao family has already won two games in a row, and there is no need for a third game.

Tao Dongcheng's eyes were gloomy. This time it was a complete defeat. The Tao family lost two games in a row under the watchful eyes of the public. This Lin San seemed to be a weirdo, but in these two rounds, he lost in a daze. How could Lin San recognize this diamond, and how could he know diamonds so well? This oil pan washes hands, why the same two people have completely different results? If Lin Wanrong doesn't talk about the mystery, no one in the world will know about it.

"Students are willing to gamble and admit defeat, so they will resign from the post of president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, and invite brothers and sisters in the association to choose other talents." Tao Dongcheng said helplessly: "My Tao family's cloth village will be transferred to the Xiao family for free. Make a note."

Under the supervision of an old fox like Xu Wei, Tao Dongcheng couldn't play any tricks, so he honestly asked Tao Wanying to make a written statement. Tao Dongcheng used his left hand to press a fingerprint. lost the Xiao family property.

The eldest lady looked at the things in front of her in a trance, all of which seemed to be a dream, she glanced at Lin San, and sighed: "Today's things are really weird, I still can't figure it out for a while."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "This is the way of life. Changes will only appear for a moment. When you understand it, everything is already a fact."

The eldest lady nodded, then put away her emotions and carefully considered how to take over Taojiabuzhuang.

Xu Wei swept all the people in the hall and said, "Chairman Tao of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce resigned today. In my old opinion, it is better to take advantage of today's great opportunity for the gathering of the two chambers of commerce to elect a new president to ensure the normal operation of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. Everyone how about?"

There is no objection to this point, but that Liu Yue'e stood up first and said: "I propose that Miss Xiao be the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce."

The performance of the Xiao family today is obvious to all. Regardless of knowledge, bearing, and will, they are much better than the Tao family, and the Xiao family has been run for generations. The previous chambers of commerce were all led by the Xiao family and have rich experience. Most importantly, judging by Master Xu Wei's attitude, it seems that he is also on the Xiao family's side. In this way, the Xiao family will no longer have to worry about the future.

As soon as Liu Yue'e's proposal came out, everyone immediately responded, and Xiao Yuruo became the new president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce without any suspense. She is no stranger to this position. When she was young, Mrs. Xiao was the head of the chamber of commerce, but now she is the daughter of the mother. Speaking of it, it can be regarded as a good story.

With Tao Wanying's support, Tao Dongcheng had already gone out to see a doctor first. Xu Wei glanced at the pale fatty Yu and said, "President Yu, what do you say about the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce?"

Fatty Yu saw the Xiao family that was suppressed by him and Tao Dongcheng an hour ago. In a blink of an eye, he became the leader of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, on par with himself, and there is no way to mention the suppression. At the moment, he could only say: "Congratulations to Miss Xiao for being the leader of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. I am a colleague of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce. I must support Miss Xiao a lot and make more contributions to the prosperity of the two places."

"That's good." Xu Wei glanced at everyone in the hall, and said slowly: "I have been here in Hangzhou for a few months, but I heard that there is a white lotus ceremony held in Hangzhou recently, and those demons are using some seeds to germinate A small trick to grow Buddha statues. Deceiving the people and recruiting believers is actually a disaster for the people. It shakes the foundation of my great flower."

Everyone in the hall looked puzzled, it was clearly a chamber of commerce, but why did Mr. Xu suddenly get involved in such a dharma conference.

Xu Wei snorted and said, "Yesterday, I personally visited the venue of the White Lotus Ceremony and broke the deceiving spell. After an overnight review, these people are all evildoers of the White Lotus Sect, and what they did was to deceive ordinary people." The common people join the White Lotus Sect. Its deeds are abominable. Its heart can be punished."

Speaking of the White Lotus Sect, the hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone knew what the White Lotus Sect was. They committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting, especially those in the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. They all knew that the Xiao family had been looted by the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect has absolutely no favors.

"The old man came to the south of the Yangtze River this time. The emperor authorized the old man to act cheaply. The White Lotus Puja was broken yesterday. This morning, those stubborn White Lotus believers were beheaded on the spot to make an example. That's why the old man came late today. It’s a little bit worse, but this old man came here stepping on the blood of those monsters.” Xu Wei’s murderous aura burst out, and his eyes swept over everyone like lightning, and many people lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

"According to the thieves, there are many merchants in the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce who are also their believers and have provided them with a lot of money support. Chairman Yu, do you know about this?" Xu Wei said casually.

Fatty Yu's face turned pale from fright, he hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "My lord, the villain doesn't know."

Xu Wei snorted coldly and said: "The old man has ordered people to register and register the merchants that the gangster confessed to, and they are all under control. They will be investigated one by one in the next few days and will not be tolerated."

The merchants from Zhejiang in the hall were all uneasy. They had heard about Master Xu's method. Half of the emperor's strategy came from him, and it was extremely simple to deal with a few merchants.

Seeing Xu Wei bringing the topic up to the White Lotus Sect, Lin Wanrong immediately understood, shit, this old man came here completely prepared. He must have already known that the Tao family had something to do with the White Lotus Sect, so he secretly assisted the Xiao family to defeat Tao Dongcheng today. This move was really beautiful. I really knew that the old man appreciated my talent, but it turned out that I As a spearman, this Xu Wenchang is an old fox who is more cunning than Luo Min.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xu Wei smiled slightly, but slowly said: "However - people are not sages, who can do without fault? Considering that some colleagues only made mistakes when they were confused for a while, I will tell everyone An opportunity. No matter who you are, and no matter how deep you are with Bailian, as long as you explain the problem clearly to the old man at the prescribed time and at the prescribed place, and how much money you donate to the White Lotus Sect, you will be handed over to the national treasury twice , as a redemption money, the old man will promise not to blame the past, and will keep it secret for you, so you can continue to do business with peace of mind."

Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely, this old man is really good at it, even bluffing and deceit plus threats and lures, these business people are all smart, but how can they compare with Xu Wei, a veteran official, and he will definitely be eaten by him. Lin Wanrong absolutely didn't believe that Xu Wei had the list in his hands. How could those shrimp soldiers and crab generals caught yesterday give such important information? This old man is playing psychological warfare.

"Within three days, I will be in Hangzhou Futai Yamen, waiting for your arrival." Xu Wei said slowly: "But if someone dares to take chances—" A stern look flashed in his eyes: "When the knife and the ax are on the body, don't be surprised." Corrupt and ruthless."

The chambers of commerce in these two places ended in a fight, a competition, and a threat. In terms of excitement, no year's annual meeting could keep up with one-tenth of this year's. To say frightened. No year can compare to one percent of this year, especially for those businessmen who have ghosts in their hearts.

The rest of the people have almost left, so only Lin San, Miss and Xu Wei are left. Xu Wei smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't be in a hurry to leave. Quickly tell me the secret of washing your hands with oil, I'm curious."

Just now that first rank of the imperial court who holds the power of life and death, this curious little old man in front of him, this Xu Wei, is really a strange person. The eldest lady also said curiously: "Lin San, tell me quickly."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "This method is worthless, but you have to keep it a secret for me, maybe you will use it again in the future."

Xu Wei smiled and said, "This oil pot for washing hands must be the same as that stone statue. It was a coincidence. It's just that I can't figure out what kind of clever method it is."

Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Actually, this is a simple application of common sense. The trick is that I added vinegar to the oil pan."

"Vinegar?" The eldest lady was surprised: "No wonder I smell a little sour. I thought it was floating up from the restaurant below, but it turned out that you, a bad guy, were making trouble."

Xu Wei anxiously said: "What's the use of being jealous? Brother Lin, please continue."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "When I went down to look for oil, I first mixed vinegar and oil into the pot, because the specific gravity of vinegar was greater than that of oil. The vinegar sank at the bottom of the pot, while the oil floated on top. In this way, everyone can see What Dadi and Mr. Xu scooped up was oil, but there was no vinegar."

Xu Wei smiled and said, "I didn't expect there is a trick in it. But I was fooled by you. Then what's next?"

"Vinegar vaporizes quickly after being heated, and passes through the oil layer in the form of gas and rises upwards, making the surface of the oil boil like boiling, accompanied by bursts of green smoke rising, which is very bluffing, but in fact , because there is still vinegar between the oil and the fire, the temperature of the oil rises, and the heat can only be transferred by the vinegar. Therefore, it will not boil so quickly. What we see is only the effect of the bubbles, and the oil has not yet heated up. Therefore, when the eldest lady reached out to the oil pan to take the copper plate, everyone believed what they saw with their own eyes, thinking that the eldest lady would be injured, but in fact it was a deception. In fact, the oil on the vinegar layer was only warm. land."

"So that's how it is." Xu Wei said, "But what's the use of adding that limescale?"

This old man Xu observed carefully, and he never let go of the scale. Of course, Lin Wanrong couldn't explain to them that the calcium carbonate met acetic acid to produce carbon dioxide. He could only briefly say: "The scale sinks to the bottom. There will be some reactions and bubbles will come out, so that everyone can see that the oil pan is hot, but it is also more realistic."

The eldest lady said: "Then why is it okay for me to fish for money, but Mr. Tao will be seriously injured?" This is exactly what Xu Wei was puzzled about.

Lin Wanrong said: "This is a matter of timing. The amount of vinegar in the oil pan should be appropriate, not too little, so as to ensure that the vinegar evaporates after being slightly heated. When the oil layer in the oil pan boils and green smoke rises, There is actually not much vinegar left at the bottom of the pot, and the oil in the pot is not too hot yet. When you put your hands in it, it feels the temperature is right, so the young lady can easily take out the copper coins. Of course, there should not be too much vinegar, too much vinegar is not good. It is easy to vaporize, and the temperature of vinegar after vaporization is also very high, and it is also very easy to be scalded, there is a problem of grasping the degree.”

"Lin San, in this way, you must have used this method to deceive many people before, otherwise how could you be sure?" the eldest lady pouted.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "I'm not lying, there is another method here, which is actually the easiest way. The amount of scale is less." After a while of bubbles, it is used up, and the remaining bubbles are the vaporization of vinegar up. Therefore, I have to keep staring at the oil pan to see if there are any bubbles emerging from the bottom. If there are no bubbles, it means that the vinegar has been completely vaporized. At this time, the temperature of the oil will rise quickly, and the oil at that time is truly boiling. "

The eldest lady clapped her hands and said: "I understand. When I took the coin, it was when the bubbles were the thickest, that is, the old vinegar just started to vaporize, and the temperature was low, so I could take it out quickly. At that time, when the bubbles are gone, it means that the mature vinegar has completely evaporated, but the oil pan is really hot, and he will be injured."

Lin Wanrong stretched out her thumb and said, "Missy is really smart."

"I hate it." The eldest lady blushed and said softly.

"Brother Lin, you deliberately asked Tao Dongcheng to catch him first, but it's a way of playing hard to get. You're sure he won't dare to catch him first." Xu Wei sighed: "Brother is young, but he is very sure about this human nature." Deep."

"Where, where," Lin Wanrong said with a cheeky smile: "I am not as sinister as an adult? If he really catches him, he will catch him. I will urge the eldest lady to catch her while the bubbles are endless. , At worst, everyone will draw."

The eldest lady smiled lightly: "You, if you go to the White Lotus Cult, you will definitely become a barefoot immortal. What is wrong with learning, but to learn from that magic stick."

When talking about the magic stick, she gave Lin San a slight look, her face blushed, and her expression became extremely moving.
