Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

Luo Ding left this time to go to Wubei Mansion in Wuwei to find his old Shangfeng.As his business in Fengcheng grew bigger and bigger, he planted more and more pastures, and the number of people who raised pigs for him also increased a lot.

These days, as usual, he has consolidated his business. The first thing he does is to determine the number of pig farmers and the expected number of pigs this year, so that after the pasture is planted, the number that will be kept and sold will be allocated.

But Luo Ding was dumbfounded when he pulled out the family who wanted to join the pig farm this year.Excluding the old households, the number of newly added households alone exceeds 100 households.In this way, the number of pigs to be slaughtered by the end of this year will at least increase by more than 500.

In this way, adding the previous number, it would be more than 2000 heads. Luo Ding estimated that Fengcheng would be difficult to consume such a number.

After all, the people in Liangzhou are still more accustomed to eating beef and mutton. On the tables of rich families, beef and mutton are the staple food, while pork is only used to adjust the taste when they want to change their taste.

Although the common people here do not have much difference between pork and beef and mutton because of the price problem, but at the same time, most of their silver is limited. I just bought some meat once or twice, and used it for tooth-beating sacrifices for my family.

But these extra pigs must be disposed of, otherwise, it will ruin its reputation, and no one will help him raise pigs in the coming year.

For those extra pigs, Luo Ding has spent a lot of time these days. Not only did he find a lot of local wine shops and restaurants in Fengcheng, but he also paid attention to Wubei Mansion in preparation for a rainy day.

The Armed Officer is the Quartermaster of the Wuwei Army, and he has quite a lot of power in his hands, although small soldiers are not qualified to eat meat.But those high-ranking officers are different. Among their meals, meat is absolutely indispensable, so Luo Ding came here this time to find someone to sell.

However, Luo Ding is obviously not the only one who has this idea, so the gate of the Wubei Mansion is not so easy to enter.Fortunately, Luo Ding didn't just come over in a daze, he still knew that he had to contact the Second Generation Tao first.

In the afternoon, Luo Ding drank in a restaurant in Wuwei with Tao Erdai who was invited.The second generation Tao can no longer be called the second generation. He is now a guerrilla general in the Wuwei Army. Although his grade is only the sixth rank, at his age, this is already a very good position. up.

While drinking, Tao Guerrilla said to Luo Ding who was sitting beside him: "First of all, it's really meaningless to stay in this team. When there is a war, you are worried every day, and when there is no battle, you are so idle." Soft, no matter what, it’s really hopeless.”

Hearing this, Luo Ding chuckled and didn't answer, and let him complain all the time, but he filled the wine glass with some wine when it was empty.

Tao Guerzhe drank one cup after another, and soon his tongue became a little big, but his mind was still clear, so he said to Luo Ding: "You just asked me, I will go to the old man to ask you when I go back. Ask. But this matter is really big or small, how much the old man is willing to ask, it still depends on his mood. "

Luo Ding replied after hearing the words: "Of course I know this, but for comparison, pork is indeed more suitable than beef and mutton. It has thicker meat and more oil, making it more hungry after eating, and the price is relatively cheap. For a place like the army, I would like to give it a try." Personally, I think pork is better than beef and mutton.”

Tao Guerrilla heard the words and said drunkenly: "I know everything you said, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go to the old man to talk to you. However, the suitability of military supplies is never the most important thing. There are you and me on the side, and there are people on the other side of the cattle and sheep."

Luo Ding was amused by Tao Guerrilla's metaphor, but he was already mentally prepared for what Tao Guerrilla said.After all, military supplies have been supplied for many years, and there should be a chain already formed.He was added later, and if he wanted to go in, he would definitely touch the interests of some people, which cannot be escaped no matter what.

Seeing that he already understood, Tao Guerzilla didn't say anything more. He patted Luo Ding on the shoulder and said to him, "It's good that you understand, and it will save me a lot of talking."

Seeing this, Luo Ding took out a stack of silver bills from his pocket, handed them to Tao Guerrilla and said, "Please trouble me to run around for us, and you can take the money to drink tea."

Who knows that after Tao Guerrilla saw the bank note, he said to Luo Ding angrily: "What is the relationship between us? We crawled out of the dead together. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many times I would have died." , then there is still a chance to appear here. You give money for a little thing now? Isn’t this looking down on me? Hurry up and take it back.”

Hearing this, Luo Ding pushed the banknote to Tao Guerzhan and said, "This trip has to be processed back and forth. You are doing things for me. You can't let you pay for these trivial matters, so you just take it."

Who knows that Tao Guerzilla laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Others may need to clear it up. I have the same surname as the old man. When the matter is done, it is considered filial piety to pick a gift. I promise to keep the old man's mouth open." Everyone laughed crookedly."

Tao Guerrilla really deserves to be such a second-generation person, and he really has a second-generation temper. If Shen Chenai was here, he would definitely have the word cheating in his heart.

Tao Guerrilla still works very quickly. He returned home yesterday afternoon, and Luo Ding brought back a promise letter today. The two of them still made an appointment at the restaurant where they had dinner yesterday. Tao Guerrilla said to Luo Ding: “I I went back and talked to my father. Although he didn’t nod directly, he didn’t say anything negative, so I think this is almost interesting. But if you want to squeeze out the beef and mutton completely, I It is estimated that it is unlikely for the time being, after all, it has been used for so long, and there is still a foundation, and the things on your side are new this year, so everyone should take a look."

Luo Ding smiled and replied: "I'm not afraid of comparing myself with others, as long as Brother Tao can open a hole for me, the rest is my business."

Tao Guerrilla glanced at Luo Ding when he heard the words, and said, "Be brave to fight, you still have the same personality as before, and you haven't changed at all. If you want me to tell you what kind of business you are in, you have worked hard all day and are exhausted, otherwise you will return Come back to me, and I promise not to treat you badly."

Luo Ding laughed and said nothing when he heard the words, but offered another glass of wine to Tao Guerrilla. Seeing this, Tao Guerrilla said discouragedly: "Okay, okay, I know what you mean."

Tao Guerrilla, who had failed to recruit talents again, was slumped on the table. At this moment, a group of people suddenly passed by under the restaurant.

Horses are not allowed in the various cities of Dagan, so this group of people are all walking on the street with their horses. Luo Ding and the others are sitting on the second floor, with a very wide view, which is just right for the group of people and horses to walk on the street. see clearly.

Seeing that Luo Ding was watching out the window, Tao Guerzhan poked his head out to have a look, then retracted his head and said to Luo Ding, "The pair of people are the new Vice General Xu and his soldiers. One has quite a background, it is said that he is the son-in-law of General Fengtian, and he came to Liangzhou just to get a layer of gold, and when the time comes, he will naturally be promoted back."

While listening to Tao Guerzilla's explanation, Luo Ding looked at the leader of the cavalry. When the pair of horses were out of his sight, Luo Ding turned to Tao Guerzilla and asked, "You said the leader's surname is Xu. General Fengtian's son-in-law?"

Tao Guerrilla nodded when he heard the words and said, "Yes, you don't think that General Fengtian is a first-rank general defending the country, but the daughter he gave birth to is not only savage, but also extremely ugly. Round ball, only ears are the only facial features that can be seen clearly at a glance. Because of her image, everyone secretly calls her 'Yipinrou', which means a piece of meat in the family of a high-ranking official."

Seeing that the person sitting across from him was interested in listening, Tao Guerzilla, who was aroused by Luo Ding's question, hurriedly continued, "I don't know what the origin of that Xu is, but you just saw When we arrived, he was still handsome, tall, and of good physique. Standing there was like a human petting a dog. Wouldn't he be treated as a 'yipinrou' who could never get married? He won, and General Fengtian, who was still Marshal of Xilu at that time, was recruited as his son-in-law."

Hearing this, Luo Ding lowered his eyes, took a sip from his wine glass, and then continued to ask: "When did you just say that?"

Tao Guerzhe heard the words and thought for a while and replied: "I can't remember the exact time. When he married Yipinrou, I was still very young. It must have been more than ten years at least. Hey, Why are you inquiring about him?"

Luo Ding replied, "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious."

Tao Guerzhe immediately said: "Not only you are curious, but we are also very curious. The two of them have been married for more than ten years, and they still don't have a son and a half daughter under their knees. There are many wretched wives around Discussions, it must be the relationship between the 'first-class meat'. Think about it, a hen that is too fat can't lay eggs, let alone a human?"

Luo Ding almost spat out the drink he just drank, he glanced at Tao Guerzhan, shook his head and said, "You, you, let's accumulate some virtue."

Tao Guerzilla not only didn't care about Luo Ding's teasing, he was quite complacent, but after the joke, he still said to Luo Ding seriously: "Although you are my brother, I should clear it up for you. Have something to say."

Luo Ding replied very politely after hearing the words: "Of course, it's just that I don't know what the old man likes?"

Tao Guerzilla thought for a while and said: "Our old man has recently started to imitate those literati's arty, isn't your Qi brother recently famous in the calligraphy and painting circles? Just pick one of his calligraphy and paintings and send it to the old man. Like this Although the gift is not too expensive, it is worth thinking about it. Even a person like me who doesn’t understand anything has heard of your Qidi’s name. There are quite a few people in Wuwei who are interested in his works. , if you ask me, you can be regarded as returning with a good wife this time."

Hearing this, Luo Ding accepted Tao Guerzilla's praise with a smile, and said that he understood, and the two of them stopped continuing this topic.
