Joe's Farming

Ling Lie was almost amused by Xu Yuan, and said bluntly: "Your family is the richest in Taoyuan, who else should I rob if not yours?

Even if we robbed all the wealthy families in Suining, we might still not have as many as your family."

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then explained seriously: "I mean why would the people from Qingfeng Village come here from so far away? Someone must have passed on the message."

Ling Lie raised his eyebrows, thinking that this young master was not stupid.

"The second in command of Qingfeng Village likes to make friends with businessmen. Maybe he is your family's mortal enemy or something like that, and you promised him some benefits.

It is also possible that Suining really cannot squeeze out any more money this year.”

Xu Ning rocked the cradle thoughtfully, but ultimately said nothing.

After Ling Lie left, he said to Xu Yuan with a firm look:

"Husband, I will do my best to protect our family. Don't be afraid."

Xu Yuan: ...

"Silly Aning, your husband doesn't need you to risk your life. You just need to stay by my side and let me see you. I know what to do."

Later in the afternoon, Ling Lie met up with Xiao Si, Xiao Jiu and government officials. They chose an inconspicuous inn as their temporary home.

Ling Lie told the county lieutenant Zhang Quan the latest movements of the four people in detail, and Xie Changyu arranged for him to bring officers and soldiers to set up an ambush.

The portraits of Tian Qi and others have been passed down.

This time, Zhang Quan also brought a painter with him and asked Ling Lie to assist the painter in drawing all the important figures of Qingfeng Village one by one.

Now everything is ready, all we have to do is wait for the people from Qingfeng Village to take action.

Tian Qi and others did not spend the whole day gathering information. Since it was a rare opportunity for them to go out, they just wandered around Qingyuan Town.

Finally, we found a snack bar.

Tian Qi stopped and said, "Wait, what's going on? Why is there a snack bar?"

Zhang Tie: "Isn't it the same boss?"

Tian Qi: "Let's go and ask."

It was not mealtime, so there were few customers in the store. Li Li Niang and Li Qiu Ju were sitting at the door chatting.

Li Qiuju saw a guest coming and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "Would you like to eat something? Please come in and sit down."

Li Qiuju is not very pretty, but she has a good figure and a friendly smile. After working in the town, she pays attention to her dressing style.

So she must be prettier and more attractive than the average country woman.

Li Zhuzi's eyes greedily glued to Li Qiuju's chest: "This young lady, is she the shop owner?"

Li Qiuju had never heard anyone call her like that before, and she immediately knew that she had met a lecher. She immediately took a step back and hid behind Li Li'niang.

Li Li Niang looked at Li Zhuzi coldly: "I am the manager of the store. You four can eat if you want. If you don't want to eat, please leave."

Li Zhuzi got angry when he heard this and was about to argue when he was stopped by Tian Qi.

Tian Qi said politely, "Manager, may I ask if your store and the snack bar in Taoyuan Town have the same owner?"

Seeing that Tian Qi spoke gently and politely, and knew the snack bar in Taoyuan Town, Li Li'niang's attitude became better.

"Yeah, yeah. Have you been there?"

Tian Qi smiled and nodded, then found a table by the window and sat down. This store was obviously not as big as the one in Taoyuan Town, but it seemed to be quite famous in Qingyuan Town. I heard people talking about it several times at noon.

"What would you four like to eat?" asked Li Li'niang.

Tian Qi looked around and found a lot of skewered food. He pointed and asked, "What is that?"

"Oh, this is our signature dish, called Chuan Chuan. The one in Taoyuan Town only has Bobo Chicken, no Chuan Chuan. Do you want to try it?"

Tian Qi nodded, remembering the pain he felt when paying this morning, and asked the price of the skewers again.

"A skewer of vegetarian dishes costs one cent, and a skewer of meat dishes costs two cents."

Chen Man heard this and said: "It's not expensive, you can eat meat for only two cents."

Tian Qi nodded calmly: "Then let's serve this dish."

"Okay. Do you want clear soup or red soup?" Li Li Niang asked again. Seeing their confused faces, she explained again, "Clear soup is not spicy, red soup is spicy."

Tian Qi: "Red soup."

"Okay, everyone can choose the vegetables by theirselves. They are on the shelf over there."

It was the first time for Tian Qi and his three companions to eat skewers. They found it really novel. After selecting the skewers, they handed them over to Li Li'niang.

Not long after, Li Qiuju brought a pot of cooked skewers to the table, which smelled spicy and delicious.

Tian Qi: "Just eat like this, no rice?"

Li Qiuju: "The rice is not cooked yet. Customers can order egg fried rice."

Tian Qi asked again: "How much is the egg fried rice?"

Li Qiuju: "Eight cents."

Tian Qi thought about it and thought, eight cents for a bowl of rice, too expensive! He refused.

Li Qiuju didn't like this group of guests and wanted to go back quickly after saying that, but Tian Qi stopped her.

"This skewers are really delicious. The ones we had in the morning were fried dough sticks. They are all new and novel. Is your boss not a local?"

Tian Qi thought that since he was already here, he might as well find out more information about the wealthy families. After robbing the Xu family, he could rob this family as well.

Seeing that he was asking about Brother Qiao, Li Qiuju said proudly, "Of course, our boss is very powerful. Yipinxuan in town knows him, right?"

Tian Qi and the others actually knew it, so they nodded.

Li Qiuju was even more proud when she saw this: "That's the business of our boss's brother-in-law. Besides the snack bar, our boss has many other businesses. He's really powerful.

In our village, a very beautiful villa was built, and many wealthy people from the capital went there to play."

Tian Qi signaled Zhang Tie with his eyes.

Zhang Tie smiled and asked Li Qiuju: "Does your boss also live in this town?"

Li Qiuju snorted and said with a smile: "No, our boss is from the country and lives with us in the village. To be honest, he is our neighbor."

Tian Qi asked, "Oh, so where is your home..."

Just as Li Qiuju was about to answer, she was called away by Li Li'niang.

Li Li'niang asked her why she was standing there for so long.

Li Qiuju: "They said they had fried dough sticks in the morning and praised Qiao Ge'er for being so good, so I said a few more words."

Li Li Niang: "That's all?"

Li Qiuju nodded: "Oh, they also asked where Brother Qiao lived, but you called me back before I could finish."

Li Li'niang looked at the people who were eating happily with suspicion, and always felt that there was something wrong with these four people.

So he told Li Qiuju, "Don't tell Qiao Ge'er where he lives. I don't think they are good people."

Li Qiuju thought of the patrol team selection in the village a while ago, and suddenly covered her mouth and whispered to Li Li Niang:

"Are they not bandits?"

Li Li Niang frowned: "I don't know. We won't be selling braised pork rice this afternoon. We'll go back after we sell all the skewers. I'm a little nervous."
