My princess is the national flower

Chapter 20 Hidden Functions

Thinking of the hidden function of the big caterpillar, not only can it deal with some Gu worms, but also gnaw bones, Yu Mujin is a little serious, thinking that the little chicken must have discovered something.Don't underestimate the animals in nature. They have their own survival wisdom, and they can often avoid danger and make themselves invincible.

The little bright yellow paws stepped on the light golden soil, and the round buttocks were fluffy, like a ball of hair.Yu Mujin focused on the little chick, who stretched out his head to observe for a while, and lived up to everyone's expectations and yelled at Yangshu twice.

With a thump in his heart, Yu Mujin felt that the critical moment had come, and the little chick must have discovered something.

...Then Yang Shu took out the little chicken and put it on the window sill.The latter immediately turned around, with his head inward and his buttocks outward, and began to poop.

It's hard to describe the feeling in my heart, Yu Mujin didn't bother to care if someone happened to pass by downstairs, but with the eaves, the poop pulled out by the little chicken should not fall to the ground... right?Hang Chi Hang Chi solved the big chicken birth problem, the little chicken became lively again, returned to the flower pot and lay down next to the hibiscus, stretching out its claws to play with the big caterpillar.

Yang Shu continued to lie at the window and looked at the passers-by outside, and soon said to Yu Mujin: "Father, I saw three people who looked alike, but they were of different ages. Are they a family?"

The way children think about problems is often the most direct, which is different from adults.Yu Muqin thought for a while and soon suddenly realized that he had preconceived that Hongcheng was strange, so he thought that the three people who looked very similar were weird. If he followed Yang Shu's thinking, he would think it was just a family, nothing strange.

If there is an old man with a goatee at the beginning, then a middle-aged man with a goatee, and finally a young man with a white face and no beard, the more complicated the mind, the more weird it will be, thinking that they are just a person in disguise and can show it in front of you.

It was almost noon when Yang Qianhao came back, his face was not very good-looking, and he ordered Xiao Er to put the food on the table, close the door, and go to the bed to carry Yu Mujin out.Stir-fried pork slices and stir-fried pork loin, the white noodle pancakes are split from the middle, and some fresh and spicy pickles are sandwiched, which tastes very delicious.

Although the white rice here is big and full, it is also delicious, but Yu Mujin instinctively doesn't like it very much, as do Yang Shu and Yang Qianhao, they all eat pancakes.After wolfing down his stomach, Yang Qianhao began to talk about what he had seen and heard, "The places where businessmen can go are limited, but the rice is very good."

When he left the inn in the morning, Yang Qianhao asked someone about the food store here, but he didn't expect that the local people who were inquired looked at him strangely, then found the yamen servant who was patrolling the street, and brought Yang Qianhao into the county yamen.It turns out that you can only go to the Yamen to do business here, and the county magistrate is the middleman. The two front lines, businessmen and locals do not meet, and everything is handled by the county magistrate.

The rules here are very strict, even if a businessman wants to find a seller in private, he will never find it.Otherwise, the county magistrate would definitely not be able to slap in the face. Yu Mujin felt that he was just cooperating with the locals here.

The local people did not want to contact outsiders, so they introduced the county magistrate as the spokesperson, and the grain was sold and the money was collected.

Yu Mujin also told what she had seen and heard. Yang Qianhao pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "I also think the people on the street are very strange. I understand it when you say that. We saw people on the street Although there are many people, it is completely different from Yangzhou City or Jiang County."

"Yes, they came out as a family, so there are more people on the street." Yu Mujin finally expressed his guess, he thought for a while and continued, "I want to know the weirdness here, go to the nearby private houses at night Just have a look at home."

Without the pressure of breaking into a private house at night, Yang Qianhao nodded, feeling that what Yu Mujin said made sense.But Yang Qianhao still had to go out. In order to be more realistic as a businessman, he ordered a batch of grain with the county magistrate, and went to see the grain in the afternoon.

Rice is produced here, and of course only rice is sold. There are two forms, one is rice with husks, and the other is white rice without husks, and the prices are different.Some merchants choose these two kinds of grains considering the transportation route and storage conditions. For merchants who are hesitant, the county magistrate will show these two kinds of grains to others.

Some merchants are more cautious and will temporarily take some rice back to the inn to steam the rice or cook porridge for a taste, but the food here is famously good, most merchants will be satisfied, and the commission for the county magistrate will be indispensable.

Originally, this matter was very simple, as long as Yang Qianhao went to a formality, looked at two kinds of grains at random, and then made up a reason, and bought one of them, so that the time of staying in Hongcheng could be extended appropriately, and it could also eliminate other people’s worries. Suspect.It's just that when he came back at night, the expression on Yang Qianhao's face was obviously not very good-looking.

"What's wrong?" Yu Mujin turned into a human form, sat on Yang Qianhao, and asked worriedly, "Is it the county magistrate or who discovered something?"

Taking the bag he brought, Yang Qianhao opened it without saying a word, grabbed a handful of food from it and sent it to Yu Mujin.The latter slowly widened his eyes, grabbed a handful of grain and looked at it, and said quickly: "Yangshu, bring our family's burden."

"Oh." Yang Shu ran to the bed and took the bundle.

In the bundle was a small handful of grain brought from Jiang County, wrapped tightly with oiled paper.After adding the rope on the top and opening the oiled paper cloth, Yu Mujin grabbed the food inside and put it together with the food brought by Yang Qianhao. After careful comparison, it was found that they were exactly the same.

The environment in Jiang County is not as good as that in Hongcheng. No matter how skilled the farmers outside are in farming, it is impossible to grow the same rice as Hongcheng.When leaving Yangzhou City, Yu Mujin also ate the rice in the inn, and he could easily see the difference. First of all, the rice grains are relatively small and slender, with a unique fragrance of grain, while the rice in Hongcheng is white and fat Fat, without the unique aroma of grain, and it tastes weird.

"Part of Jiang County's grain comes from Hongcheng?" Yu Mujin expressed his guess.

"Maybe." Yang Qianhao sighed, "There are a lot of businessmen who come to Hongcheng, and today I met many colleagues from all over the world. Taxes here account for a large part of the entire girder, and many officials in the imperial court receive their salaries from Hongcheng. food."

This can only show that Hongcheng's grain yield is high, and the growth of three crops a year is equivalent to the three-year yield of some cold places.Yu Mujin rubbed her chin, and decided decisively, "Take me out to see at night, Hongcheng is getting weirder and weirder."

Yang Qianhao didn't refuse, with his hand, going in and out of ordinary farmers' homes is the same as walking on a flat road, even with Yu Mujin.Yang Shu naturally wanted to stay in the inn, and the child patted his chest to promise that he would sleep seriously!

For convenience and to reduce its own weight, Hibiscus hibiscus is in a flower pot.The little chick and the big caterpillar stayed with Yang Shu. When they were transferred to the pillow, they were still sound asleep, showing no signs of waking up.

Jumping out of the window, the whole flower of Yu Mujin swayed, a little regretted leaving the little chick, such a soft fur cushion can not only absorb shock, but also keep warm.Yang Qianhao's speed was very fast, the courtyard walls of the private households did not need any effort at all, and Yu Mujin felt a "swish" fly up, then fell to the ground, and quickly entered and exited each room.

I don't know what method Yang Qianhao used. When he opened the door, there was no sound at all, and his movements were very fast, and he exited with a glance.The two of them walked down from house to house as if they were walking through empty doors. When the moon was on the branches, Yang Qianhao had already approached the innermost part of Hongcheng.

Speaking of which, the development of Hongcheng is really good. Even the houses where farmers live are very tall, which looks similar to those in Yangzhou City.From the outside, these peasant households looked similar to other households. When Yang Qianhao climbed over the wall and passed by, Yu Mujin quickly discovered the difference.

At night, there is light in the room. It is not unusual if someone wants to come out for convenience, but it is very strange if there are voices in the room.Quietly approaching the house, Yu Mujin's heart also lifted, and he held his breath, as if the flowers were not breathing.

"Father, what should we do?" The middle-aged man's voice sounded.

Looking into the hole poked by Yang Qianhao's finger, Yu Mujin almost exclaimed, well, he is a flower now, and he can't scream without a mouth.It's such a coincidence, although only one profile can be seen, Yu Mujin can be sure that the two people in the room are the goatees that he has paid attention to during the day!

"Send the mountain baby out of the city tomorrow." The old man sighed and said helplessly, "The higher-ups told us to stop for the time being, but Hongcheng has been here for so many years, how can we just stop, even if I agree, no one else will." would agree."

"Father..." The middle-aged man's voice was choked with sobs.

Yang Qianhao held his breath and stepped aside, jumped to the roof, and landed silently.After a while, the door opened, and the middle-aged man came out. He looked a little stooped, but his eyes flashed from time to time, and Yang Qianhao saw them all.

Not long after, the lights in the old man's room went out, and he seemed to be asleep. The lights in the middle-aged man's room were not turned on, but there was a low voice.Because the voice was too low, Yu Mujin couldn't hear clearly, but Yang Qianhao was a martial artist, so it didn't affect his hearing.

After listening to the middle-aged man's voice, Yang Qianhao carried the flower pot in his arms and slid to the next roof like a swallow. After checking the last farmer, he quickly returned to the inn.

What Yang Shu said was right, he was still soundly asleep, the little chicken lay on the pillow like a ball of hair, and the big caterpillar huddled under his stomach.Yu Mujin discredited and went back to the next door, lying on Yang Qianhao's body and sleeping until dawn.

It was during dinner during the day that Yang Qianhao said what the middle-aged man said last night, "The father and son are not of the same mind as the old man."
