Ministers made me a male queen

Jiao Yun is also decisive, he is afraid of missing this opportunity, and it will not be easy to see Mrs. Li next time.

But it was inconvenient for him in front of Wanniang. Looking around, he saw that there was no servant in the entire garden of Li's mansion. He pretended to be curious and asked, "Auntie Li, this mansion is so big, why can't I see you?" servant?"

Mrs. Li poured another glass of water, added some for Wanniang, and replied to Jiao Yun: "There are servants, but in the outer courtyard, I can't enjoy the blessings. I'm not used to being served by others. I'm used to being free. It’s uncomfortable, so generally they can’t come if they don’t get summoned, only a few wives follow.”

And those women who were going to distribute the stewed meat at this time were naturally not here.

Jiao Yun suppressed the light in his eyes, and when Wanniang and Li Shi started to talk about buying tens of catties of pork from Li's family every time, Li Shi naturally had no objection, why not make money when they are rich?Because he is a long-term customer, Mrs. Li gave a very reasonable price, which is a few cents cheaper per catty, and it is calculated at fifty cents per catty.

Wanniang didn't expect that it would be so much cheaper to negotiate. A few pennies per catty may not seem obvious, but she has to buy dozens of pennies every day, so it's hundreds of pennies.

Wanniang was grateful and poured water for Mrs. Li in turn.

After eating a few bowls of braised pork, Mrs. Li naturally felt thirsty, so she didn't give in.

Just when Wanniang was about to speak and go back, Jiao Yun saw that Mrs. Li had almost drunk, and suddenly jumped off the stone bench, clutching her belly: "Mother, I want to go to the toilet, hurry up! Nie Xiaobai, are you going?"

Nie Baichang had been listening quietly, and at this moment he finally had a reaction. No matter what Jiao Yun said, he would listen, and replied, "Go."

Jiao Yun took Nie Baichang with him, of course it was of great use, he pulled and ran, and after running two steps, he seemed to "remember" something, raised his head, and said pitifully, "Mother, I don't know where the toilet in the house is."

Mrs. Li is a hearty person. She laughed twice when she heard the words, and she stood up: "I just want to go too, Mrs. Jiao, is it okay for me to bring the two little ones there?"

Wanniang quickly waved her hand: "Of course it's no problem, it's just that Mrs. Li is too much trouble, or I..."

"Hey, it's okay, it's not close there, Mrs. Jiao can rest here." Upon hearing her agreement, Mrs. Li strode forward along the gravel road with the two little ones.

Jiao Yun waited for them to go far away, looking at the figure of Mrs. Li in front of them, trotted to follow, and struck up a conversation: "Aunt Li, is your pork domestic pig or wild pork? I heard Nie Xiaobai say wild pork Pork is delicious."

Nie Baichang was taken aback:? ? ?

But he just glanced at Jiao Yun, but he lowered his eyes obediently and said nothing: Brother Yun is right in everything he said, although he didn't say it, but... the wild pork meat is really delicious according to his mother.He had eaten it when he was a child, but he was too young to remember it.

Mrs. Li didn't take it seriously, but she was very patient. Her sister Qian was only six or seven years old. Hunting, a rare item, is much more expensive than domestic pigs, one or two hundred cash per catty."

After Li's business started, Mrs. Li also thought about opening a butcher shop specializing in selling wild boars. After all, although Changyang County is not big, there are quite a lot of wealthy households.

This person sometimes wants to eat something rare or delicious.

However, she couldn't find a way out. Even if there was, it was far away from Changyang County, and the cost of traveling back and forth was one of the reasons. It's not fresh when it's shipped over, so the taste is naturally greatly reduced.

Because of these reasons, Mrs. Li gave up this idea.

Jiao Yun opened his mouth wide, and sighed regretfully: "It turns out that wild pork is so expensive, forget it, so I still wanted to tell my mother to use wild pork as a raw material for braised meat, but the cost would be too high, and the business would be in jeopardy." Oh no."

Li's original casual expression paused, but she caught the key point: "Huh?"

She stopped, turned around, and looked down at Jiao Yun.

Jiao Yun was not afraid at all, he had never lost in the momentum at this moment, raised his head, wondering: "Aunt Li, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Li didn't know if she was thinking too much: "Brother Yun, do you...know if there is any place here that sells wild pork?" His family needs dozens of catties every day. At least dozens of catties per day are available.

Jiao Yun nodded seriously: "I know, it's the hunter that Nie Xiaobai's father used to hunt together. He privately made a wild boar business with a few companions and sent it outside. Before Nie Xiaobai's family had an accident, he came to pay homage to know me. Mother took Nie Xiaobai in, so she wanted to take care of her, and when she heard that my family was going to be in the stewed meat business, she offered to offer it at a lower price, but I didn’t dare to tell mother.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Li suppressed her excitement, "You said that there are Orion in Changyang County who do wild pork business in private? Why have I never heard of it?"

Jiao Yun said: "I don't know, Uncle Orion said that the wealth should not be exposed, and Changyang County does not have a good market in Fucheng, and the place is not big enough, fearing that wild meat is too expensive, so it is not located here at all. It turns out that wild boar meat is so expensive, I thought it was all the same..."

There was a small drum in Li's heart, and then he squatted down and said, "Brother Yun, can you help me find that Uncle Orion?"

Jiao Yun: "Aunt Li, why... why did you see him? He said that it is difficult to reveal his identity, for fear of being missed by others, and besides, he is not in this town."

Li's persuasion: "But I have a big business to talk to him, if he can really provide wild pork, I... I will give you the purchase price of our butcher shop, but this is the purchase price of more than a dozen butcher shops, 35 Wen How about a catty?"

Jiao Yun's face turned pale with fright: "This, is this a bad thing? My mother has always said that she can't take advantage of others, and she won't agree. Besides, I promised Uncle Orion not to tell him, he I just want to help Nie Xiaobai secretly, and besides, my mother is alone now, and he is a man, so it is not good to get involved with my family, so as not to be gossiped about."

Mrs. Li is not willing to give up this opportunity, maybe this is an opportunity for their Li family to start a new business.

Although Li's butcher shop is indeed very good in Changyang County, there have been many butcher shops opened in the past two years, and the business competition is high, so it is not very easy to do, but if it is paired with wild pork, the business will definitely improve by [-]%.

Mrs. Li thought about Wanniang's side: "Shouldn't we keep it from your mother?" But it seems that Wanniang is indeed a dead-headed person, and the news she inquired about is also consistent.

The reason why Jiao Yun took Nie Baichang's father as a breakthrough was because he knew very well that the Li family had investigated them. Several generations of Jiao's family lived in Songjun Village, but Nie Baichang's father was different. They came here a few years ago. People, there are variables, and it is understandable to make friends with some people that Li Shi can't find out.

Besides, this is just an illusory person, even if Li Shi tried to find out, he couldn't find out.

But as long as he took out the wild pork, Li would definitely believe it, and he would never have imagined that all of this was the wild pork that he conjured up out of thin air.

Jiao Yun thought for a while: "Auntie Li, are you sure you don't want to tell my mother? I'm afraid my mother will be angry, so you can guarantee it, otherwise I won't believe it."

Mrs. Li was anxious about this business, and immediately raised her hand: "I will guarantee the reputation of my butcher's shop, I will never tell your mother about the wild pork, and I will never tell others that Brother Yun led the thread. Don't worry, When this line is really connected, your pork will be at cost price. If your mother is not willing, I can save the rest of the money for you. When you give your mother a large amount of money in the future, your mother will definitely be happy. "

There is no one who doesn't love money, it's just that children have unique ideas, and they don't want to tell their mother.

Jiao Yun still has trust in Li's character, since she made an oath, she wouldn't say it, so he nodded: "That's fine, I'll tell you when that uncle comes to Nie Xiaobai next time. He just happened to come to deliver food to Nie Xiaobai tomorrow, Aunt Li, you finally sneaked here to avoid my mother looking for me, I will tell you the result."

Li naturally had no objection, but Jiao Yun successfully achieved his goal.

It's just that Nie Baichang who was on the side was completely confused:? ? ?Brother Yun said, why don't I understand?When did his father have such a powerful brother?

Knowing that Nie Xiaobai was strict, Jiao Yun went back to Wanniang after going to the toilet.

Wanniang took the two little ones to leave, but when she left, I don't know if it was an illusion, she always felt that going to the latrine, why is Mrs. Li so enthusiastic about the two children?Even when he left, he gave them a pack of snacks in a daze.

Jiao Yun and Nie Bochang walked back with Wanniang, Wanniang was in front, he turned his head to look at Nie Bochang who was curiously looking over, secretly held his hand, scratched his palm, blinked: I will explain to you later.

Nie Baichang also learned to blink: good.

Jiao Yun knew that Nie Xiaobai would be closer to him, after all, they exchanged eggs and had a little secret brotherhood.

When Wanniang and the others returned to the booth, a few regular customers came over after hearing the news, but only saw Wanniang came back with two empty wooden barrels, "Little lady, this... is gone?"

Wanniang smiled apologetically, "It was bought by one family."

The regular customers were disappointed, and only left when they were sure that Wanniang would come tomorrow.

Wanniang went to clean the wooden barrel, and told Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang to stay well and not run around, and left with the barrel and bowl after seeing Jiao Yun's response.

Not long after Wanniang had left, Jiao Yun saw a person running here in a hurry, and when he got close, he saw an empty stall and two children lying on the table with their heads on their hands, and lowered their arms: "I hear you I came here as soon as I came home again, but I didn’t expect it to be too late.”

Jiao Yun sat up and smiled: "Brother Tao, you are late, why don't I leave a copy for you tomorrow?"

There was no stall in the past few days, so Tao Wuzuo didn't know about it, and they weren't sure if Tao Wuzuo would come, so naturally they didn't stay.

Tao Wuzuo naturally agreed, he was so greedy when he heard it before, but he was delayed by those who came.

Tao Wuzuo sighed, went next door to buy a bowl of small wontons, sat across from Jiao Yun, and saw that Nie Baichang's spirit improved a lot, rest assured: "If it wasn't for the delay from the county government, I would definitely be able to catch up." of."

Jiao Yun looked at Tao Yu's work and said that he didn't know what to think of between his eyebrows. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if with a hint of sadness and regret, he poked his head curiously: "Brother Tao, did something happen to the county government?"

Tao Wuzuo probably couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he secretly asked Jiao Yun to get closer: "Actually, it's nothing to tell you, I will pass by later, I'm afraid you will see it too. Those people just came to inform Lord Hou in advance, Let Lord Hou and the others be on guard."

Jiao Yun listened carefully to what he said, puzzled: "What happened? Could it be that some powerful official wants to come here?"

Tao Wuzuo shook his head: "No, it's... Forget it, I guess you will hear the news when those people pass through Changyang County later. It's not some high-ranking officials, but some officers and soldiers transporting a corpse back to Beijing Just pass us here."

Jiao Yun became even more curious: "Who is gone?"

Tao Yuzuo didn't hide it, and if it was later, he would know his identity from the vendor: "It's...a criminal. He was sent to work as a coolie in a bitter cold place seven years ago. He disappeared a few days ago, but because he committed a crime back then For the crime of exterminating the nine clans, the clansmen have indeed been killed, so the people above are afraid that he will fake his death, so they must be transported to Beijing to verify his integrity, so he is so cautious along the way."

But Jiao Yun felt that Tao Wuzuo would not say this rashly if he was a good person. Since small traders would say it later, Tao Wuzuo specially emphasized that he was sent by criminals to work as coolies, so he lowered his voice: "Brother Tao, is this person you are talking about? Wronged?" That's why Brother Tao didn't want him to misunderstand, so he said it in advance?

Tao Yuzuo's voice was also low: "Don't say it after being wronged, just know it in your heart, and don't mention it to your mother when you go home, you know?"

Jiao Yun was taken aback: "Why?"

Tao Yuzuo: "The one who died...was General Bai who rebelled against him seven years ago. It's just that the truth is not what you heard, but don't tell outsiders about it. The reason why you are not allowed to tell your mother is because of this. General Bai had a close guard back then, he was a life-and-death brother who entered the barracks with your uncle Jiao Xiusheng... your mother has heard of it." The reason for reminding him is that he doesn't want Jiao Yun to hear about it in the future He misunderstood his uncle; second, he didn't want to mention the sad things that touched Mrs. Jiao later.

After all, Jiao Xiusheng's death was really a pity.

Jiao Yun didn't expect this to happen again. He agreed, but was even more curious: "Since being wronged... is considered to be treason and extermination of the nine clans, why...is he just a distribution?"

Tao Yuzuo didn't expect the child to be so curious, he said it after thinking about it, and he snorted his head: "Actually, if I tell you, you probably don't understand. When the accident happened, General Bai's sister was The concubine Bai, who was being favored in the palace, felt that her elder brother could not do such a thing. The emperor ordered the beheading of all members of the Bai family if he didn't believe it. , I burned myself with a fire. Later... for some reason, the emperor spared General Bai's life, but the bitter cold land is still gone."
