Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Although the young owner is obsessed with food, he is not without brains. No matter when he has a piece of craftsmanship, he will not starve to death. As long as the chef has an exclusive secret recipe in his hand, he can ensure that the future generations will have no worries about food and clothing, so it is not a last resort. No one will sell the secret recipe in their hands.

Although Xiao Zirong was dressed in ordinary clothes, she had a delicate appearance, and her expression didn't look like she was in any trouble. How could she just sell this prescription casually?

Xiao Zirong said: "Don't worry, Young Master, this recipe is my exclusive secret recipe. Although it is exclusive, it is not very precious. I have too many prescriptions in my hand. The reason why I want to sell it to Young Master is because I am just passing through here. , I still have to leave and I want to ask the young master to help me sell another prescription."

The young owner swallowed his mouth when he said that he had a lot of dishes in his hand. The salt-baked chicken is so delicious, but in the eyes of the other party, he just sells the recipes just to help others. Then the other dishes in his hand How delicious should the recipe be?

Shaodong's family is a person who has no resistance to delicious food. He knows that Xiao Zirong's request is a bit strange, but he can't help but agree to it when he thinks that he will be able to eat delicious food all the time in the future.

In the end, he managed to remain clear and said, "This is not a place to talk, come with me."

Xiao Zirong took Lu Liu and Bai Yan and followed the Shaodong's house, and the Shaodong's family took them directly to a room in the backyard of the restaurant, which seemed to be a study.

It's just that Xiao Zirong took a glance and found that there were not many books in the study, and each one was somewhat dusty, as if he didn't read it often.

After being seated, the Shaodong family asked someone to bring a pot of honey water and asked, "Brother, what prescription do you want to sell?"

Xiao Zirong said directly: "It's a new type of acacia, um, I call it soap, it's cleaner than ordinary acacia."

The Shaodong family was at a loss for a moment. This could be regarded as touching his blind spot of knowledge. He asked, "Soap? This thing... I don't know much about it."

Xiao Zirong looked at the salt-baked chicken brought over by him and said directly: "You can eat it with your hands, and I will try it for you after eating."

He came out with a sample this time, and the Young Master rubbed his hands in embarrassment when he heard that, and said, "That works."

He just peeked at the plate of salt-baked chicken while talking to Xiao Zirong just now, feeling regretful that it might not be so tasty if it got cold.

But if there are guests here, especially if they hold the secret recipe in their hands, they must be treated well.

Now that I finally have an excuse, how can I not eat it?

The Young Master was quite reserved, and asked the waiter to tear the chicken for him, "Do you want to eat?"

Although Xiao Zirong was also drooling, he still tried his best to pretend to be calm, shook his head with a smile, and said lightly: "This thing is nothing to me."

As he spoke, he defined himself: slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

However, their situation is also special. There is no shortage of salt, but there is a lack of meat. The chickens do not grow very fast, and they have to breed again. After all, many people have lined up to exchange points for chickens to go back to raise. Always let everyone raise them first and then eat when there is excess.

The Shaodong family had no doubts about him, and nodded while eating, and used chopsticks when eating chicken, and started to eat chicken wings and chicken necks directly.

And this one is quite down-to-earth, even chicken feet.

Sitting there watching him eat, Xiao Zirong finally knew how the Shaodong family came to have such a body shape - a whole chicken went into his stomach in such a short while!

After eating, the Young Master's family was still a little unsatisfied. He hadn't eaten such a delicious chicken for a long time. If it wasn't for the presence of outsiders next to him, he wished he could tremble with his fingers.

After Xiao Zirong waited for him to finish eating, he asked Bai Yan to bring up a small bamboo box. When the small bamboo box was opened, there was a boxy piece of soap inside. Xiao Zirong got it up because he originally wanted to form his own trademark, but now...forget it.

He handed over the soap and said, "Your hands are full of oil, right? Use this to wash off."

The young master took it over and looked at it carefully, and then washed his hands under Xiao Zirong's explanation. When foam was formed from his hands, the young master's eyes widened: "This... what is this? No, no No, what's going on here?"

Xiao Zirong smiled and said: "This is a normal phenomenon, and it is because of this that I can wash more cleanly."

After washing his hands, Shaodong's family found that they were much cleaner. Of course, they can be cleaned with acacia or other natural things, but they need to consume a lot, and some of them don't smell very good.

This thing has no smell. The most important thing is that he washed his hands carefully just now, and found that the soap didn't seem to have changed at all, except for a little water stain on it.

The Young Master was keenly aware of something, raised his head and asked, "How much do you plan to sell that recipe and this recipe?"

Xiao Zirong was a little surprised to hear his tone and asked, "Does the Young Master want to buy them all?"

Doesn't their family run a restaurant?Soap is a daily necessities item, so the two sides don’t quite match, right?

The Shaodong family seemed to know his question, and said with some embarrassment: "My family has been in business for generations and sells everything. I am running this restaurant for fun."

Xiao Zirong: ...

Opened the largest restaurant in Yanzhou City Mansion just for fun?This is not only what the rich second generation can describe.

Oh, no, people who have been in business for generations should be rich N generations.

Xiao Zirong said, "So you want to buy this?"

The young master was very generous: "You can make a price."

Xiao Zirong said with a smile: "I'm afraid you'll just blow me away when you hear my asking price."

The Young Master's complexion changed, and he hesitated: "Then don't charge such a high price."

Xiao Zirong said: "Actually, it's not very high, these two recipes cost twenty guan."

The Young Master wanted to bargain at first, but when he heard what Xiao Zirong said, he was taken aback suddenly: "So cheap?"

After he finished speaking, his face flushed, and he deeply felt that he was sorry for his father's teaching. Back then, his father told him not to be so straightforward, especially when talking about business.

Xiao Zirong nodded and said, "It's so cheap, but I want cash."

The corner of Shaodong's mouth twitched after hearing this: "This...can't be done? Can you take it away?"

Twenty pennies is a lot of money. At the beginning Xiao Zirong took ten pennies to the market to load a car, but at that time, no one in Liangxiang County expected that someone would bring so much money to buy things, so for putting I didn't care much about the rattan box holding the money, thinking it was ordinary goods.

But the state capital is different from Liangxiang County. There are people coming and going here, which can be seen at a glance. What if they are robbed?

Of course, the most important thing is that no one will put so much money.

Xiao Zirong said: "If you don't give cash, let's convert it into goods. You also said that your house sells everything, so it happens that I buy some things, so that's fine."

Only then did the Young Master breathe a sigh of relief: "Then tell me what you want."

Xiao Zirong wrote a list when he came out, and he was not sure about the seller, so he didn't write more. Now that list has been taken away, Xiao Zirong can only write another one.

Fortunately, Shaodong’s house has a pen and paper here, so Xiao Zirong picked it up and began to write while thinking slowly. His list is different from the one given to Yuan Jia. Many things have been deleted, such as iron, which is more sensitive. But a lot of medicinal materials were replaced, as well as saltpeter and sulfur, and the seeds were no longer needed. Some fruit trees, mulberry trees and silkworm babies were replaced, but there were not many things, and it looked like a joke.

Seeing Xiao Zirong's way of writing with a pen, the Shaodong family couldn't help but straighten their backs, mainly because the opponent's posture is too standard, and it seems that the family has laid a good foundation.

And after Xiao Zirong wrote the pen, Shao Dong's eyes lit up when he saw it: "Good writing!"

Xiao Zirong paused his hands, and the calligraphy he wrote was a little crooked. He learned this calligraphy from Xiao Xuexing at the beginning. Xiao Xuexing's calligraphy is really beautiful, and he only learned a little shape, and the strokes of the brush can't be imitated at all.

But just like this, the young master thought his handwriting was beautiful, and Xiao Zirong was a little distracted.

But he quickly came back to his senses and continued to write down what he wanted.

And I had already thought about how to answer the Shaodong family's question, but I didn't expect the Shaodong family to take a look at it and smiled after receiving the list: "There are so many pots, it seems that your family really has ancestral cooking skills."

Well, in his opinion, it is normal for Xiao Zirong to ask for a lot of pots, and Xiao Zirong actually thought of this excuse, so he doubled the number of pots many times. He originally planned to explain directly when the young master asked. Different dishes use different pots to avoid taint, but the other party explained it directly for him, which is really worry-free.

The Shaodong family didn't say anything but said: "The things you want are a bit complicated, I can adjust them, but I can't get them until tomorrow."

Xiao Zirong had already made preparations that the other party estimated that it would take ten and a half months to get there, but now he was a little surprised to hear that he would arrive tomorrow: "It's already very fast, I will stay here for two days, you If you are ready, just come and find me."

The Young Master said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to ask."

After he finished speaking, he ordered someone to inquire. He didn't know where he was going, but he quickly replied that they would be able to find them tomorrow afternoon.

Xiao Zirong made an appointment with him directly, Fang Zi certainly didn't stay, and when he returned to the post house, he said: "This time is also just right, I will go to see Yuan Jia tomorrow morning, and after the deal with the Young Master's in the afternoon, we will leave here."

Bai Yan was a little surprised: "Leave tomorrow night? Don't you want to stay one more night?"

Xiao Zirong shook his head: "If you stay one more night, you will be at risk for one more night. We'd better go back early."

Bai Yan and Lu Liu didn't say much, anyway, when they came out this time, Lu Liu was in charge of protecting, Bai Yan was in charge of making connections, and for the rest, just listen to Xiao Zirong's words.

Xiao Zirong's transaction went smoothly. After he handed all the salt to Yuan Jia, Yuan Jia said, "I don't have any cash here. I'll give you an IOU first, and I'll give it to you together with the next transaction."

Of course, it wasn't that Yuan Jia didn't have cash here, he was worried that Xiao Zirong would never have another deal with him once, and he needed to press something to ensure that the other party could continue to trade with him.

Xiao Zirong could somewhat understand Yuan Jia's thoughts, and said directly: "Give as much as you have, and give the rest next time."

Yuan Jia was also very happy. It was impossible for him not to give the money. In the end, he gave [-]% of the money, and converted the rest into things, and gave it to him together next time.

And the two parties agreed on the following quantity. At first, Yuan Jia opened his mouth and asked for ten rock salts. After hearing this, Xiao Zirong got up and left without thinking about talking to him.

Yuan Jia was taken aback and quickly pulled him back: "Wait... talk to me if you have something to say."

Xiao Zirong looked at him unkindly: "I treat Your Excellency sincerely, but Your Excellency wants to put me to death, what else is there to say?"

What he told Yuan Jia was that he obtained all these salts secretly with his own pockets. Since the tricks were done secretly, it must be a trickle. If there is too much salt all of a sudden, how can it not be discovered?

What does ten halite mean?One stone salt converted into catties is about 120 catties, and ten rock salts is [-] catties. Is it true that such a large team can't be seen by others if they are blind?

As for the real situation... Xiao Zirong's side definitely can't produce so much salt. The salt factory not only sells salt but also feeds his own people, and the priority of supplying his own people is definitely the highest, so he can sell it in a year. It would be nice to give Yuan Jia a rock salt.

They don't have many people, so they can only produce salt during the slack season. It is inconvenient to do anything during the rainy season.

Yuan Jia touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Young Lord, don't blame me. I'm used to it. In this way, you can give as much as you can."

Xiao Zirong stared at him for a while and finally said slowly: "One transaction every three months, one thirty catties."

Yuan Jia frowned: "Thirty catties... that's too little."

Xiao Zirong laughed lightly: "Things are rare and valuable, the less you have, the more you can sell them at a higher price? What's more, there may be more or less, anyway, every time I will keep what I need, if there is too much salt Just make up for it with money.”

Yuan Jia wanted to get some more out of his hands. Most of the people he met in the past were like this, and he had to bargain back and forth. In the end, he met a Xiao Zirong who didn't play according to the rules. He said as much as he wanted, even if you It's useless to talk about it.

In desperation, Yuan Jia had no choice but to agree, Xiao Zirong thought for a while and added: "If Wei Guo deploys troops on a large scale, please give me a message."

Yuan Jia looked up at Xiao Zirong sharply, and Xiao Zirong said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to sell military information, or give me a message. After all, this place is too close to Wei Guo. If it's dangerous, I won't come here."

Only then did Yuan Jia understand what Xiao Zirong meant. After thinking about it, he felt that it was okay to just give news. Xiao Zirong really couldn't have any problems.

So Yuan Jia directly agreed to his request, and Xiao Zirong heaved a sigh of relief.

In fact, he was planning ahead. If he remembered correctly, there should be a battle between Qi State and Wei State this year or next year, which is the famous Huai-Han Battle.

In that war, the Northern Wei Dynasty took advantage of the frequent changes of the emperor of the Qi State and sent troops to the south when the state was in turmoil. However, although the State of Wei took the initiative to attack, it was the State of Qi that won in the end.

Xiao Zirong studied the route. According to the theory, the offensive route of the Northern Wei Dynasty would not be able to reach them, but at that time, Qi State must definitely defend in an all-round way, and South Yanzhou must be strictly defended as the front line. At that time, Xiao Zirong would not plan to Continue to trade.

But the problem was that the place where they traded was Maomaotou Mountain, which was not considered a very dangerous place. He needed a good reason, and now it could be regarded as an early vaccination for Yuan Jia.

After discussing the time with Yuan Jia again, Xiao Zirong was about to get up and leave.

At this moment, Yuan Jia, who hadn't spoken a few words to Bai Yan, suddenly turned to look at Bai Yan and asked, "You...do you want to stay?"

Xiao Zirong's heart tightened. The conditions here in Yuanjia are much better than those in the residence. It's normal for Bai Yan to stay. Now Xiao Zirong is not worried about Bai Yan betraying them. He only worries about where he will go if Bai Yan leaves. Find an accountant.

Well, Bai Yan's current role in the resident is that of an accountant, registering and filing points, and checking the treasury, all of which are done by her.

She is also really good. Xiao Zirong originally wanted to train one or two to help her as soon as possible, but she didn't expect this girl to survive on her own, and everything was done in an orderly manner. Every time Xiao Zirong checked the accounts At that time, the ledgers were clear and refreshing—although the ledgers at this time were definitely not as clear as those of later generations.

But Xiao Zirong didn't even know how to read the account books of later generations, and now he is slowly learning to look at the account books, but it doesn't show much.

If Bai Yan were to leave now, the financial system of the entire state capital would be paralyzed for a while and would need to be reorganized.

Xiao Zirong was a little nervous, but he didn't say a word and handed over the choice to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan couldn't see the expression on her face, but she could see her shaking her head at Yuan Jia and saying: "The favor you owed me has already been paid, and we don't need to meet each other in the future."

The expression on Yuan Jia's face seemed a bit complicated. He forced a smile and said, "Why don't we meet? Aren't I going to do business with Xiao Xiaolang?"

Xiao Zirong paused for a moment before realizing that Xiao Xiaolang was referring to him, looked up at Yuan Jia and said nothing.

Bai Yan still shook her head: "No, I won't be the one to make a deal in the future, you and I... don't need to see each other again."

Yuan Jia wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed, Xiao Zirong stood up and said, "Since that's the case, let's leave without disturbing you."

Yuan Jia silently sent them to the door. He lived in a rich area in the state capital, and there were basically no pedestrians on the road. Xiao Zirong led Bai Yan and Lu Liu all the way to the corner, and when he turned around, he could still see Yuan Jia Stand at the door and watch them.

Xiao Zirong was very curious about the relationship between Bai Yan and Yuan Jia, but felt that the two of them just talked as if they had had a bad time with each other, so she held back for a long time before saying, "Why didn't you stay?"

Bai Yan was already prepared to be interrogated, and she didn't intend to hide it. She had a relationship with Yuan Jia back then, but it was impossible for Yuan Jia to marry her. Even if she married, she would be a concubine. With pride, how could she be willing to be a concubine?

During the years when the two of them were together, Bai Yan helped Yuan Jia a lot. It can be said that half of Yuan Jia's current status is due to Bai Yan's credit. After knowing that there was no chance, Bai Yan simply withdrew without bothering Yuan Jia. No resentment against him.

Yuan Jia felt sorry, so he promised Bai Yan a favor.

When the Bai family was involved in the treason case, Bai Yan wanted to go to Yuan Jia, so she wrote him a letter, but Yang Wu caught the clues, and then there was a series of blows. After writing back to her, Bai Yan herself gradually became hopeless. If it wasn't for their city lord's actions, she might not be alive now.

But Bai Yan didn't expect that the little city master held back for a long time, and finally asked such an almost irrelevant sentence, knowing that the town's master sticks to her and doesn't want to expose her scars.

Bai Yan was in a better mood, those sufferings in the past could no longer affect her, and the life in the station was getting better and better, it was indeed very inspiring.

She chuckled lightly and said, "I've already sold to Mr. Lang, and I'm now Mr. Mr.'s man. How can I go with someone else?"

Xiao Zirong stared instantly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Hasn't the deed of selling your life been returned to you?"

He had promised before that those who performed outstandingly would return the deed of sale, and among this group of people, Bai Yan was indeed very outstanding. Coupled with the rough past, Xiao Zirong was worried that the deed of sale would be in the hands of others. Without a sense of security, it was not easy to get out of the setbacks of the year, so when the time came, he returned the deed of prostitution to her.

Bai Yan didn't speak after hearing this, the contract of selling her body was a shackle, Xiao Zirong did raise her hand to help her get rid of this shackle, but it made her want to stay there even more.

What she said just now was a bit out of bounds, and she could see that their little city lord was a little embarrassed, so she said: "Maybe it's not bad materially to stay with him, but... it's not good, after all, my face is already gone. Ruined, he can see that he treated me well at the beginning in terms of the friendship back then, what about in the future? If he doesn't come to see me, I will wait for him all the time. If he doesn't take care of me, I may not be as good as here. I missed it once, although it was a last resort, but this time I can choose myself, so I won’t choose him.”

What Bai Yan said about missing the election should be about the incident when she married Yang Wu back then. Xiao Zirong wanted to pat her on the head and tell her that it had nothing to do with her, but he still didn't do that and just nodded and said : "Well, we will be fine in the future."

Bai Yan also felt the same way, especially after they found the Young Master's family to complete the deal, handed over the cookbook and soap formula to the other party, and also brought pickled vegetables along the way, the Young Master's family immediately wanted to worship Xiao Zirong.

It's just that when the Shaodong family read the recipe, they were all shocked, looked up at Xiao Zirong and asked seriously: "I said, what is your origin?"

Xiao Zirong was startled. It was just a recipe, which had nothing to do with the royal family. Could it be that the other party discovered something?

He asked calmly, "What do you mean?"

The Shaodong family said with a wry smile: "Your food is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

This kind of eating method is not affordable for rich and wealthy families. Even if the young master thinks that the family is already good, but it is estimated that they can only eat it during the New Year and holidays. On weekdays... ordinary people can't eat it.

Xiao Zirong understood what he meant after hearing this, smiled and said: "The origin of this recipe is not simple, you can use it as a signature dish, and no one said that you will sell one chicken at a time, won't you sell it separately? ?”

After all, Shaodong's family has been in business, and after hearing Xiao Zirong's words, he understood what he meant, and immediately smiled and said: "Brother, you have a good brain, come on, take this well, your things are not lucky to come in." , The main reason is that you have to pay taxes if you bring it in, so I put it in the warehouse outside the city, and you can pick up the goods there with this token."

Xiao Zirong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was also asking for the help of the young owner to send out of the city first. When he entered the city, he brought so many pickles and paid a lot of taxes. It was also eye-catching. This time he sent a lot of things out , I'm afraid it's not an eye-catching issue, maybe Xiao Xuexing will catch him by the tail again.

He deeply felt that his life was too difficult. He had to consider everyone's quality of life, and he had to avoid Xiao Xuexing's investigation. If you come out, you won't come out.

The Shaodong family did him a great favor, he smiled at the other party and said, "Thank you."

The Young Master looked at him eagerly and asked, "Do you have any other recipes? I'll buy them all, and I'll find whatever you want... oh, just... I can find you whatever I have."

Well, it's not bad, Xiao Zirong didn't directly praise Haikou, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to sell indiscriminately, my family will be angry."

The actual reason is: My friends and I haven’t tasted it yet, so how could we sell it to you right away?

After exchanging greetings with the Young Master's family, he was about to say goodbye and leave.

The Shaodong family looked at him reluctantly and gritted their teeth for a while and asked: "Then what... I invite you as an offering, will you come?"

Xiao Zirong was slightly taken aback when he heard the word enshrining, subconsciously, the image of a middle-aged man with a serious face flashed in his mind, he coughed lightly and asked, "No."

Seeing that he refused without asking anything, the Young Master couldn't help but said anxiously: "The price I gave must be suitable, and I don't want you to do anything, you won't lose money."

Xiao Zirong smiled and said, "Why do you ask me to go back as an offering if you don't want me to do anything?"

The Shaodong family held his face and said: "You are good-looking, you can write well, and you can cook delicious food. If you are with me, my parents will definitely not watch me so closely, and you don't need to do it." What, just write me a few copybooks, and cook me a dish once in a while."

Yes, although the Shaodong family has always shown that they are more interested in salt-baked chicken, but in fact he fell in love with Xiao Zirong at the first sight, otherwise he would not be able to make a deal with the other party so smoothly.

Xiao Zirong originally thought that he had won the Young Master's family with the secret recipe, but who would have thought that the Young Master's family valued his face and writing more?

For a moment, he felt rather dumbfounded, his handwriting was barely passed by Xiao Xuexing before, but now someone asked him to write a copybook.

However, no matter how much money the young owner pays, he will never agree. No matter how good the other party says, it can't conceal the essence of him wanting to let Xiao Zirong work three jobs for a penny. Sure enough, no matter what year the capitalists squeeze the workers' surplus value No effort was spared.

Xiao Zirong very politely rejected the Shaodong's invitation. Under the heartbroken eyes of the Shaodong's family, he took Bai Yan and Lu Liu to leave the city as if fleeing. He naturally didn't know how to deal with such an enthusiastic person.

After walking far away, he looked at the mule cart behind him. The cart was full before, but now it is empty. It can be regarded as a successful completion of the task. The mood is very good.

Not bad, he temporarily forgot the pressure of being searched by Xiao Xuexing, and even began to think about how to change the economic system when he went back.

It’s time to end the era of points. People don’t have real things in their hands. They don’t show up when they are poor and white. After everyone has savings, I’m afraid they will feel uneasy. I’m afraid that the state government’s records will be wrong. It’s much better to have money. .

But now they have a stable source of income, even a lot of income, which is fully supportable.

Thinking about this, Xiao Zirong hurried out of the city, and after he got out, he said with a smile: "Fortunately, we travel fast, otherwise the city gate will be closed if we wait a little longer."

Bai Yan felt a little strange in her heart and said, "Why doesn't it seem like you're going to close the city gate at all?"

Just as Xiao Zirong was about to say something, he saw a team of yamen servants coming out of the city and driving the passers-by to places where there was no road.

Xiao Zirong and the others just left the city, so they happened to be within this range.

He subconsciously protected Bai Yan and Lu Liu, let them lead the mule cart to the side and asked, "Lang Guan, what's wrong?"

The yamen servant who was forced to work overtime was in a bad mood, but when he looked up and saw Xiao Zirong's face, his attitude became much gentler, and he said, "Go to the side and make way, wait for a big man's convoy to enter the city. Clean Street."

Xiao Zirong was very cooperative and asked curiously as he walked to the side: "Big man? Is the envoy here?"

The yamen servant looked around and said in a low voice: "I tell you, don't talk nonsense, this one, even the envoy will bow his knees in front of him."

Xiao Zirong suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Who is so domineering?"

The yamen servant made a booing gesture to him and said, "Keep your voice down, that's the regent, are you dying?"

Xiao Zirong: Shit!

Xiao Zirong never expected that it would be Xiao Xuexing who came. This person is simply haunted. Could it be that he came here this time to capture him back?

Don't the government care about it?

The expression on Xiao Zirong's face was indescribable, and finally he coughed lightly and asked, "The Regent? That's really a big shot, and I don't know what he's here for."

The servant's attitude is still gentle: "I heard that it is patrolling on behalf of the emperor, hey, you must be careful not to go to the official way when you leave."

Xiao Zirong nodded quickly: "Thank you, brother."

The yamen servant smiled and was about to say something when someone saw them chatting happily and came over and asked, "How long will the Regent stay here?"

The yamen servant turned his head hard, and said fiercely: "What are you asking for? Is this something you can know?"

The man was taken aback by him, and he glanced at Xiao Zirong, who was originally very unconvinced, but became helpless after seeing the other's face.

Xiao Zirong didn't want to know how long Xiao Xuexing was going to stay, he just wanted to leave quickly, it was best not to meet this person, so even if the yamen servant didn't remind him, he wouldn't walk on the official road.

It's a pity that there are too few roads these days. There is a flat road next to the official road, but the distance is not too far, and mule carts are not easy to travel further away. Xiao Zirong can only try to stay as far away from the official road as possible and try to go back Hurry up, anyway, their destination is the warehouse outside the Young Master's house, not far from here, he can hide in the warehouse first, and wait for the team to pass.

However, before he got to the warehouse, he ran into Xiao Xuexing's team face to face. Xiao Zirong's heart was raised at that time, wishing to take off Bai Yan's scorpion and put it on his head. In the end, he still asked Bai Yan for a mask He picked it up and took another look at the clothes on his body. Well, he came out this time wearing the linen clothes made for him by the girls, not the ones he wore when he ran out at all. He looked like an ordinary person. The probability of coming out should be infinitely reduced.

In addition, he was already in the growth period. Although the past few months have not been very good and his nutrition is not very good, he has grown a little taller and lost a lot of weight, so there is a high probability that it will not be because of The figure was recognized.

Xiao Zirong continued to walk forward very reassuringly. While walking, he looked out of the corner of his eye and found that the core of the whole team was the bullock cart in the middle. He was even more relieved. It seemed that Xiao Xuexing did not choose to ride a horse, but I took a bullock cart.

There is nothing to worry about if you don't need to meet Xiao Xuexing face to face. Xiao Xuexing is the one who is most familiar with him. Others probably don't remember what he looks like at all. As long as Xiao Zirong doesn't show guilt and make people suspicious, there shouldn't be any problem.

Xiao Zirong pretended to be calm and kept his eyes fixed, but he still couldn't help but glance at the ox cart as it passed by.

At this time, Xiao Xuexing was sitting in the bullock cart drinking the medicinal diet, because Xiao Zirong had not been found, and he did not dare to let something happen to his body, so he was very cooperative with things like eating the medicinal diet, perhaps because of this obsession, but also It may be because of the clues, even though the environment on the road is much worse than health, Xiao Xuexing's body is actually better than when he was in Jiankang, at least he can eat well, and he won't feel uncomfortable in his stomach.

He finished his medicinal meal slowly, and when he put down the bowl, a gust of wind blew over, and a corner of the car curtain was blown up, exposing the outside world.

There were people coming and going on both sides of the official road. Although it was late, there were not many people. From time to time, some people secretly looked at this luxurious carriage. Xiao Xuexing was used to it and would not care about it, but for some reason, he still looked out. .
