Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 67

Hu Sanniang checked in the kitchen before leaving in peace.

A woman said: "It's strange, our lady doesn't come to the kitchen all year round, why did she suddenly want to visit the kitchen? The lady is still beautifully dressed, with a red flower on her hair and rouge and gouache on her face. "

Another woman said: "You don't know yet, my lady has a date, and shopkeeper Li went to introduce her yesterday."

"real or fake."

"It's not true. I heard from Shopkeeper Li that he seems to be some kind of landlord, handsome and rich." The women said.

If people in the Song Dynasty could not go out by boat, most of them had to rely on the eleventh road, so they mostly chose the morning when they went out.

After breakfast, at the gate of Hujiazhuang.

A round of red sun shines from the east, the earth is full of sunshine, and the birds are chirping in the treetops.

Chai Lin and Chai Meng were saying goodbye to Hu Cheng, and Hu Sanniang was standing behind her brother, looking reluctant to leave.

Chai Lindao: "Meetings are always short-lived, and they are parting in a blink of an eye. Brother Cheng and Sanniang. Let's leave here. After a while, I will go home and settle down, and I will send someone over."

Hu Cheng said: "Yun Cong, don't worry, here is something for you."

Speaking of which, Hu Cheng took a bag from Zhuang Ding behind him, handed it to Chai Lin, and said, "This is the reward of [-] coins I received from the county government yesterday, and I exchanged it for gold, [-] taels a piece, a total of [-] yuan. You take it."

Chai Lin hurriedly pushed back and said, "Brother Cheng is too polite, he is not short of money. Hurry up and take it back, keep it as the capital of the business."

"Otherwise, Hu's family still has tens of thousands of taels at the end of the day. The business roads are familiar and the stores are mature, and the basic income is still stable. Yuncong is a person who does big things. You take the money. Recruiting talents and introducing projects are too much to be desired. Money is gone. Alcohol is a hero’s courage, money is a shameless person’s hair, and if you don’t have money in your waist, you will not be courageous when you go out.” Hu Cheng said.

As soon as Chai Lin heard what Hu Cheng said, he immediately took the money, "Thank you Brother Cheng, I will be the first to cooperate with Hu's Village in the future if there is a profitable project."

Hu Cheng said with a smile: "When Sanniang gets married, we will be a family, and you will be my brother-in-law. At that time, we will naturally make a fortune together. Well, I won't keep you until it's too late. Let's send it out as soon as possible."

Chai Lin said goodbye: "Brother Cheng, Sanniang, let's just say goodbye."

Chai Lin and Chai Meng waved goodbye and walked along the main road towards Dongping Mansion.Originally, Hu Cheng had prepared horses for the two of them, but the two relied on divine skills, and having a horse would get in the way, so they didn't need it.

Although San Niang has some love for her children, she is helpless. This is how life is, and there are not so many wishes to come true.

Hu Cheng slapped his head and said, "I gave them 100 taels of gold, but I forgot to arrange to hide it. Will bandits worry about it?"

Hu Sanniang smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, when the bandits come, they will deliver food. You don't know Chai Lin martial arts, and you are as fast as a leopard in the mountains."

In addition, the two of them walked more than 50 miles in the morning, and at noon they were unwilling to go any further, so they found a big inn and slept all afternoon.In the evening, when there was no one around, he used his magical powers to rush to Dongping County, Dongping Prefecture.At this time, Lin Chong had been in Shuibo Liangshan for almost a year.Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others will rob the birthday card next summer.

Of course, Chai Lin would not be so bored as to come over to Chao Gai to discuss about robbing the birthday card, so for a little money, just sell a few more pieces of soap.

In fact, the distance was very short for more than 100 miles, and we started running after dark, but we arrived outside Dongping County at around nine o'clock, and there was a relatively large inn on the side of the road.

When the two entered the inn, the clerk was dozing off behind the counter. When Chai Lin knocked on the table, the clerk was startled.

Chai Meng said: "You little girl, what time is it, you just want to sleep."

"The guest officer laughed. I was on the night shift last night. Today I didn't sleep well at home during the day, so I was sleepy. Are you two going to stay at the hotel?" Xiao quickly said.

"Of course you have to stay in the hotel. There are two guest rooms that will be cleaned." Chai Meng paid the money and took the room card.

The man turned on the light and took the two of them to check the room, and prepared warm water for washing before leaving.

The next morning, the two left early.Hire a small boat to drive to Shijie Village from Xiaohe Fork.

The boatman talked a lot, he was familiar with it.

The boatman said, "Be careful when you go to Shijie Village, it's not peaceful there recently."

"Oh, it's not peaceful? Could it be that there is a tiger?" Chailin asked.

"The guest is joking. Shijie Village is a lake village, and there are no trees and forests. Where do tigers come from? It is very close to Liangshan, a water pond in Jeju. In recent years, a white-clothed scholar has gathered in the water pond, and thousands of people have gathered. ?” said the boatman.

Chai Lin was surprised and said, "Does the government not care about such a thing?"

"Although it is said that fallen grass is a bandit, Wang Lun keeps a low profile. He rarely comes out to rob village shops, and the troubles are not big. As for the government, they don't know. It's better to have less than one thing these days. Who wants to meddle in other's business? Wouldn’t it be nice for him to earn some extra money with that kind of skill.” The boatman sighed.

Chai Lin said: "It's okay, if you are afraid when you get to Shijie Village, you don't have to wait for us."

"No, how can I do that, I'll find a place, and I'll just take my boat back after you visit your friends." The boatman said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid of bandits?"

"I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of the government. Now the imperial court has very heavy taxes and fees. For example, we have to pay a monthly fee for running a passenger ship, otherwise we will go to prison if we are caught."

It's really a tyrannical government that is fiercer than a tiger, and the boatman would rather risk encountering bandits to make money.

We sailed and chatted all the way, and after a while, we came out of the river and came to the sparkling lake. The boats on the lake were very busy. There were huge cargo awning boats, small passenger boats, and fishermen scattered on the lake. Singing on the net, the land of water towns has a different taste.

"Didn't you say that Cheng Zhifu is a good official? Why are the taxes and fees so heavy?"

"He's a good official, but he can't hold back the little officials below, each one is more tricky than the other. Forget it, what do I tell you, Shijie Village is ahead." The boatman stopped the boat and Chai Meng paid the boat's fare. People boarded the ship.

This road is still relatively slow. Get up early and start, and it is already past breakfast time when you arrive at Shijie Village.There are several shops in the village that are open for business. Chailin chose a delicatessen, and the owner is hanging the roasted goose.

Chai Lindao: "Four roasted geese, four roasted ducks, four roasted chickens, and four catties of sauced beef. It must be fresh."

The boss was very happy when he heard it, and a big deal came just after the door opened. The villagers are not so willing to eat, unless there is some happy event.

In fact, Chailin generally does not like to eat beef, because the imperial court strictly forbids killing cattle without reason, and the cattle killed are basically old or sick cattle. The quality of this beef can be imagined, but most people still like beef, thinking that beef is chewy , tastes refreshing.

The boss's knife skills are top-notch, and he cut four catties of beef.It is packaged together with roast chicken, roast goose and roast duck.

"Chenghui, a total of [-] Wen." The boss said.
