Jin Jinming asked Hu Envoy to get on the horse, and he personally held the rope for him from the horse. The two looked like they were familiar with each other, and they left hand in hand.

No one cares about the two warring parties behind him, who seemed to be unable to stand, the shopkeeper of the Tang family moved his throat, his throat tightened, and his voice was hoarse: "Hu... Hushi?" He spit out these three words He became a dying patient in despair, so weak that he had no strength to support his body, and fell down with a snap.

No one knew what happened to the shopkeeper of the Tang family in the end, but since that day, no one has seen the shopkeeper of the Tang family in Tokyo again.

This turn of events was not done deliberately by anyone, it was actually Hu Shi's sudden whim.Because Hu Shi deliberately concealed his identity and sneaked out, no officials followed to clear the scene. Therefore, when this farce happened, many people gathered around to watch.When Hu Shi's identity was found out, the people in Tokyo were terrified. It turned out that the Hu Shi who was hosted by the officials in person just now.

That is, the official palace banquet is used to entertain the Hu envoy, and the Hu envoy wants to buy it back. The things that have been carried for thousands of miles are naturally good things.

Since then, the Taohuayuan Yaxiang and Yaxiang Chips sold in Jin's shop have a momentary prestige, and their position is firm and unshakable.

No one dares to spread derogatory words anymore.

All of a sudden, the threshold of the Jin family was almost broken again. This time, there were more people begging to come to the door, and they were also more powerful.The word "Peach Blossom Spring" has become a brand recognized by the little lady in Tokyo.

Officials are using it, can it still be bad?

The letter from the Jin family was quickly delivered to Xinghua Village. Tang Shou smiled slightly after reading it, but stopped in the garden where he planned to rest, and bought all the spices and medicinal materials with the little money left in his hand, and made a batch overnight Tooth sticks.

At the same time, Xiong Zhuangshan and Tang Shou visited the county magistrate. The county magistrate has a cooperative relationship with them. This matter has been exchanged for the first time. Tang Shou has always been in no hurry. The county magistrate considers that he must also ensure his own interests. There is no urging.

"Xiong Erlang, Xiong Fulang, please sit down." Xiong Zhuangshan and Tang Shou were directly invited into the inner house of the county magistrate in the backyard. The magistrate smiled sincerely when he saw them, and was happier than seeing his old mother. "Quick, serve tea to the two of you."

Although the two were dressed in coarse linen and dressed as peasants, none of them dared to neglect the enthusiastic attitude of the county magistrate. Even when serving tea, the maidservants served with a smile.Xiong Zhuangshan had a fierce face, no one dared to provoke him, so they turned to treat Tang Shou with extra hospitality.

This little lady smiled at her husband for the third time. Whatever she wanted to do, she dared to hook up with his husband when he was still alive. It seemed that he was too easy-going.

Xiong Zhuangshan didn't say a word, but his eyes became more sinister, which only scared the little lady who poured tea for Tang Shou into a cold sweat, which drenched her thin clothes.

What did she do wrong? Why did that vicious Yan Luo look like he was going to kill her alive, woo woo, it was so scary, she was going to be scared to death.

When the servant girl was frightened, her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she knocked over the tea cup when she was serving tea.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, this villain didn't mean it." The servant girl's face turned pale, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Xiong Zhuangshan quickly got up to check, but fortunately, the tea only slightly soaked Tang Shou's hem, and did not spill on his body.

The county magistrate silently sighed in his heart, waved his hand and told the maid to go out.Don't blame her for this, it's because Xiong Zhuangshan is too scary, if he didn't rely on his official status, he would have to avoid such a person.

"The servant girl at home should be less timid, please don't blame me." The county magistrate said.

Timid?He is very big, and he dares to seduce his husband right under his nose!

Xiong Zhuangshan thought angrily, it seems that he hasn't killed anyone for a few years, and he doesn't even smell blood on his body, even a little lady can't be frightened.

But he didn't know that the little lady was almost scared to death by him, and she fell ill when she returned home. After taking several medicines, she didn't take it seriously. Later, she was an experienced old woman. , Please ask the lady-in-law to dance.

Tang Shou had nothing to say to Xiong Zhuangshan, who was still immersed in the emotion of disliking himself for not being scary enough, and only patted his arm lightly.

"It's nothing." Tang Shou didn't intend to pursue it at all, "Caomin came here this time to discuss the official affairs with the adults."

The county magistrate naturally knew that he was here for this.

"Just ask the county magistrate to call the officials back and say that the grassroots agreed, but don't say that the ordinary people donated voluntarily, just say that they were expropriated voluntarily."

One dedicates, one collects, this is very different.Even if in the future some people are dissatisfied with the disclosure of the law of the Kang Kang, so what, not only will they not resent Tang Shou, but they will feel sorry for him.After all, such a treasure that makes money is still a unique handicraft handed down from the ancestors, and it was confiscated by the yamen, so it will not be able to do unique business in the future.But so what, expropriation, you can pay it if you want, and you can’t pay it if you don’t want to, it’s just a nice word.

Tang Shou continued: "But please rest assured, the magistrate, the grassroots are just in the name of expropriation. As for other things, no matter who asks, the grassroots will only say that this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. The grassroots are expropriated voluntarily. He loves the people like a son who is very grateful to the officials and the county magistrate. From the mouths of the grassroots, he will never swallow half a word of no."

The county magistrate also understood what Tang Shou meant, he wanted to get out of the way.As long as it is expropriation, no matter how much money the rich family spends, they will admit that they are unlucky, what if they don’t admit that they are unlucky, they are making trouble, with whom, the things are taken by the court, and if they dare to make trouble with the court, they probably miss the Lord of the Underworld. Going to drop by.

The county magistrate is willing to sell Tang Shou's face. After all, it is not a big deal. As long as Tang Shou agrees to voluntarily expropriate or not, no matter how others speculate, it is just hearsay and has no effect.In addition, it is impossible for him to take all the benefits, and push the Xiong family to the forefront, that is, cooperation, the county magistrate must pay attention to sincerity, and he can't do that kind of thing.

The county magistrate smiled meaningfully and said, "What does Mr. Xiong say? The law of this kang was originally collected from you by the Yamen of Yulin Town. You are righteous, benevolent, and voluntarily expropriated. The money and the official handwriting The plaque with the inscription is for your willingness to reward you."

"Thank you sir."

The atmosphere in the room was warmer than the sun in the middle of summer. Tang Shou and the county magistrate stopped talking about business, and Yan Ran became the second pair of Zhong Ziqi Boya, and they hated seeing each other late.

After leaving the county magistrate's mansion, they bought some things in the town. The two of them rushed back to Xinghua Village in the evening. They unexpectedly saw a businessman from outside Tokyo, and they were also foreign merchants at their door.

A total of six Hu merchants knew that they were from the Xiong family when they saw Tang Shou's ox cart parked at the door with a plaque on the Peach Blossom Spring.

One of them, a big and round man with a ferocious beard, seemed to be the head of these barbarians. He strode towards Xiong Zhuangshan and Tang Shou.Xiong Zhuangshan took a step forward, protecting Tang Shou behind him.

The Hu people were very angry, even if they were not angry, they were a bit oppressive.In fact, Tang Shou is not afraid, although this person is also fierce, but compared with Xiong Zhuangshan, he is just fierce, Xiong Zhuangshan doesn't need to make more expressions, when he only has an expressionless face, he looks like a vicious Shura.But even if she wasn't afraid, being so protected by someone made her feel unspeakably warm.He had no intention of rejecting Xiong Zhuangshan, so he obediently grabbed the corner of Xiong Zhuangshan's clothes, and poked out a small head from behind him to look curiously.

This person came to stand in front of Xiong Zhuangshan, he was actually one centimeter shorter than Xiong Zhuangshan.

"This is the owner of Taohuayuan. The next few people are serious Hu merchants. They just look a little fierce. This time, they came here without any malice. I heard that the Xiong family's Yaxiang and Yaxiang chips are well-known throughout the Yu Dynasty, so I come here to buy."

Famous throughout Yu Chao, this is too exaggerated.Now it's almost as good as being famous in the whole Tokyo, but because of this, Tang Shou guessed that these people should come from Tokyo.From Jin Jincheng's letter, he had long guessed that the word "Taohuayuan" must have caused quite a stir in Tokyo.And this storm is enough to make the whole of Tokyo and even the whole of Yuchao come all the way here just because of the business emblem of Taohuayuan.This business badge is used by officials, princes, and even Hu Shi. It is a great honor to share the same brand with Yuchao officials. Peach Blossom Spring is simply a symbol of status.A business emblem represents great benefits, enough to attract businessmen from all over the world.

Xiong Zhuangshan nodded, and invited several people into the yard.

Just now when he was waiting outside, Hu Shang knew that Xiong Zhuangshan's house was the only high-end compound in the village, but now he came in and found that the inside of this Xiong's house was even brighter than a farmer's family.

The courtyard is obviously under repair and has not been completed. It may be because the owner is in a hurry and the work has been temporarily suspended (in fact, the money is not enough, so the repairs have to be stopped). However, only part of the courtyard has been repaired, and the beautiful scenery after construction can still be seen.There is a winding gravel road at the foot, a small peach blossom forest in the distance, a small second floor hidden behind the peach blossom forest, and a small building that looks like an inn in the other direction.But the Xiong family doesn't live in these two places, they live in a small building not far from the door.

When they entered the small building, they were even more astonished.Although the interior of the small building is not extravagant and extravagant, it shows wealth and luxury everywhere, but it has extraordinary taste. It is obvious that it is only the most common objects, but it is noble and elegant.

After Hu merchants were seated, Tang Shou poured a bowl of sugar water for each of them, and instead of selling a lawsuit, he directly brought the toothbrush, tooth incense and tooth incense sticks together.

After those people took it, they looked at it carefully for a while, but it was still not enough, so they even took out the samples they carried with them and compared them carefully.

When Tang Shou saw the three samples, he was 100% sure that they must have come from Tokyo. He didn't care about their behavior, and he didn't think it was questioning his character, which was not respectful enough.People who don't know you, come all the way to buy goods, you should be cautious.

Several Hu merchants gathered together for a long time, chattering in a language that Tang Shou couldn't understand, after a heated discussion, the man named Shouhu said: "It's what we're looking for, I don't know how much it's worth."

"Brush your teeth for five cents a piece. There are three kinds of tooth fragrances, five hundred coins for freshness, three taels for gentlemen, and four taels for breathing like orchids. Tooth fragrance chips are a little more expensive, four taels and three hundred coins."

After hearing Tang Shou's quotation, several Hu merchants looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes. Why is this thing so cheap?If it weren't for the person who asked them for information, he would never make mistakes, and they all thought they were asking the wrong place.

It's not that Tang Shou asked for less, he gave Jin Jincheng the same price, but later discounted the price, this is his price, no matter who comes, it's the price, as for what price they sell after buying, Then Tang Shou didn't care about it, and each showed his own skills.Now it seems that Jin Jincheng's price for this thing in Tokyo should be quite high.However, Tang Shou will not be jealous. The most important thing in doing business is integrity.

Tang Shou saw the confusion in their eyes and said with a smile: "You can rest assured that the Tokyo Jin family bought the goods from me. Of course, the purchase price cannot be the same as your selling price." He seemed to have no intention of saying: "By the way, I also heard that the officials also highly appreciated the Yaxiang chip produced by my family, and even used it to entertain the Hu envoy, who also liked it very much, and there was a misunderstanding. Jin Jincheng specially wrote this matter to me. Letter delivered."

What happened in Tokyo has not yet spread to Xinghua Village. They came here overnight on the night when the incident happened.Jin Jincheng's letter arrived one morning earlier because Jin Jincheng's dog couldn't hold two taels of ghee in his stomach. After his brother told him, he wrote the letter immediately and sent someone to deliver it quickly.

Only then did the barbarians completely believe that they had found the right place.

"Xiong Fulang, I don't know how much stock you have left, can you sell it to us?" Hu Shang dared to say that because he had already inquired about it, and Xiong's things were very tight, and he couldn't get much every time.Furthermore, the price was much lower than they expected, and the silver they brought could be eaten.

Tang Shou got the wind and made preparations. The cost of something that cost more than 200 taels became more than 400 taels after the price was doubled.

"That's it, we want it all." The Hu people wanted it immediately.

Tang Shou counted the things for them, and the inventory was gone immediately.Even brushing teeth, which has always been spare, was taken over by a few barbarians.

Hu Ren said: "It's a long journey, we've worked hard all the way, can you stay at Xiong Fulang's house for a night, but don't worry, we will definitely pay for the accommodation."

Tang Shou said with a friendly smile: "To tell you the truth, our restaurant and inn business is all done, but it will be more expensive because my family's environment is good. For example, the accommodation fee, if you stay with someone in the village, you It costs one penny per person to stay, but it’s not the price in my house. The small courtyard house in the backyard is one tael of silver for three days. The reason why it’s so expensive is because after you live in, even if other guests come, you won’t be charged. On the other side The small building is not a single courtyard, if there are other guests coming tonight, they will also live there, but it is cheaper, fifty yuan per person, but the environment must be equally good." Tang Shou did not hide it, and made it clear in advance. Whether you want to live or not is your choice.Still the same sentence, business people pay the most attention to the word integrity.

"Xiong Fulang, don't laugh at us for being cowardly. We are new here and we are not familiar with the place, so we don't dare to borrow and live in the villagers' homes. We live in your house. We choose the small building with a single courtyard, but we may not live for three days. price……"

Tang Shou said with a smile: "If I can't stay for three days, I can only pay this price. It's the same for everyone. I hope you will forgive me."

"Okay then, we'll live in a small building in a single courtyard." The Hu merchants didn't bother outsiders. Through the transaction just now, they believed in the behavior of the Xiong family, and they knew that they treated them equally, and they didn't deceive them just because he was a foreigner.Furthermore, they carry a lot of money with them, so it is really inconvenient to live with others.

When asked about the food, Tang Shou also quoted the price directly, and told the price of the dish, not hiding anything. Although he felt that the price of the dish was too high, but seeing Tang Shou's open and aboveboard attitude, he knew that the price was only this price.What's more, Xiong Fulang also introduced the price of vegetables in the village, and bluntly said that if they think his home is expensive, he can help find the villagers to cook, and more than 20 yuan can fill their stomachs, but the taste is not guaranteed.This upright attitude made several Hu merchants have a particularly good impression of Xiong's house, so they ate at his house. Because it was expensive, they only ordered a few dishes, and they all ate rice, which was cheap.

After Hu Shang finished their work and they finished their meal, it was already dark, but Tang Shou didn't sleep. He asked Xiong Zhuangshan to light a few more oil lamps and started something in the dark.

"Fulang, I've been tired all day, what do you want to eat, you can make it tomorrow when you get up." Xiong Zhuangshan felt sorry for Tang Shou, afraid that he would be tired.

Tang Shou shook his head, "These Hu merchants will probably get up early tomorrow, and they may eat the dry food they brought for breakfast, but I still want to sell them food, so I have to make it tonight."

Xiong Zhuangshan wondered: "If they don't eat here tomorrow, what's the use of you making this thing?"

Tang Shou smiled and said: "You will know when I cook this food, even if they don't eat here, I have a way to make them eat."

Seeing his sly and mysterious smile, Xiong Zhuangshan asked cooperatively, "What method?"

"I make this food called Camellia Noodles, which is like flour, but I can drink it with boiling water. The Camellia Noodles are sweet and hungry, high in calories, and small in appetite. The big and thick ones can make you hungry. Even if there are no vegetables, you can eat dry food without swallowing." Tang Shou said: "You get up early tomorrow morning, watch them order, and watch them get up and make a bowl for each of them, just say Our family gave it away for free. As long as they have eaten it, they will know that the camellia oleifera noodles and running merchants are a perfect match, and they will buy it without our introduction."

Tang Shou's idea was very simple. After finally catching another bully other than Jin Jincheng, of course it would be a waste of money, and swallows would have to pluck their hair when they passed by his door, hum.

Those Hu merchants didn't have any idea whether they wanted to eat Xiong Zhuangshan, anyway, he wanted to eat it, and he liked every fresh food made by the little husband.

Camellia oleifera noodles are very easy to make, but Yuchao did not appear because at that time, Yuchao, like the Song Dynasty, just became popular to eat noodles. In the past, wheat only made wheat rice, but now many places still eat wheat rice, so the pasta is limited to Simple approach, not so many tricks have been developed.

There are not many things needed, just wheat flour, cooking oil, white sugar, nuts, preserved fruits, sesame seeds, etc. Yu Chao has all these things, but his house does not have them for the time being.However, because Xiong Zhuangshan likes to eat walnut cakes and other pastries, he often makes them, so he has sesame seeds and walnuts at home, and now he can only use these two to make them.

"Erlang, you smashed the walnuts and picked out the walnut kernels into walnut pieces."

"it is good."

Tang Shou himself puts the wheat flour into a clean pot and stir-fries. Stir-frying is the main step, and it must be evenly stir-fried to break up some dough.The heat is high first and then small.

After the fried flour is rolled out evenly with a rolling pin.

After that, add oil to the pan, and when it is seven minutes hot, pour the dry-fried flour into the pan and continue to stir-fry until the oil is completely dissolved in the noodles, and the noodles become oily and shiny, with an attractive burnt yellow color. up.

In terms of oil selection, the camellia noodles fried in different oils have different tastes. Tang Shou likes two kinds of stir-fried soybean oil and butter.According to the eating habits of the Hu people, he felt that butter would be more to their taste.

The fried flour should be poured on the panel and spread out, otherwise it will be easily mushy due to residual heat when piled together.

While drying the flour, add oil to the pan to fry sesame seeds and walnuts. You don’t need to fry these two things too hard, just let the fragrance waft out.

Then pour the walnut and sesame seeds into the fried flour, and then add some sugar. At this time, sweets are very popular and precious. If you are not afraid of sweetness, you can add a little more. After stirring well, the camellia oleifera noodles are ready.

The finished Camellia Noodles has a rich flour fragrance, walnut and sesame fragrance, mixed with sweetness, slightly moist in color, just looking at it, it feels sweet and delicious, it must be delicious.It seems to be able to drill into the bottom of the stomach along the nasal cavity of a person, arousing the deepest greed in people.

Xiong Zhuangshan was already too greedy when Tang Shou was stir-frying, and asked Tang Shou to drink it after the frying was finished.

"We ate late for dinner today, and you have a big appetite. You don't drink a lot of camellia noodles, just a small bowl." Tang Shou said very seriously: "Eating too much at night is not good for the heart, and it is easy to get heart disease. No, in the future you will have a limited amount of dinner, our family already eats three meals a day, and we don't need to work hard, so it doesn't matter if we eat less for dinner..."

"Fu Lang, you drink." Tang Shou's rambling was interrupted by the camellia noodles that suddenly reached his mouth.

Husband must not be allowed to continue talking, otherwise Husband will starve him, what to do, Husband at home did not give Langjun enough to eat, and if I tell it, others will laugh my ass off.But so what, he didn't want to kill him, so he could only rely on him.Then the best way is to make Fu Lang forget about it.

Tang Shou looked at Xiong Zhuangshan's usually fierce eyes, which were innocently opened with all his strength at the moment, as if to say that I have no other idea, just to give you a taste.

Huh, man.

Tang Shou had already seen through everything, so after he took a sip, more than half of it was poured into the food bowl of the wolf dog beside him.The wolfhound has long been greedy because a few threatening-looking people came to the house today and didn't go out for a while. As soon as Tang Shou poured it for it, it would go up and drink it.It's delicious, it's delicious.It's just why it's suddenly a little cold, and the dog hair on its body is blown up, it must be its very vicious master glaring at it again.It doesn't matter, let's have a full drink first, the gluttonous appearance of its owner must not be snatched away by him.

This plastic dog owner will break if it is broken.Hey, I can't stand the test of half a bowl of camellia noodles.

After three or two mouthfuls, the camellia oleifera noodles were eaten lazily, and Xiong Zhuangshan's eyes were already bursting into flames.

He couldn't direct this anger at Tang Shou, so he directed it all at Lanlan.He pinched the hair on the back of Lanlan's neck and threw the dog into the yard.Lazy came to Xiong's house and hadn't slept outside yet, so she felt infinitely melancholy for a while.

It is so loyal, it seems that many people who came to the family today did not go out to look for its husband, and guarded at home, what a sacrifice, that is its husband, you can’t see it during the day, and you can’t see it at night. The most tragic sadomasochism is affectionate, but his master kicked it out just because of half a bowl of camellia noodles. Isn't it as important as half a bowl of camellia noodles?

Lazily licked his mouth, not to mention that the camellia oleifera noodles are delicious, one day he will steal some for his husband.Now, uh, sleep, hoo hoo...

When Xiong Zhuangshan threw the laziness out, Tang Shou realized that it was not good, the big bear was about to get angry, he was so scared that he almost flew up, and after a while, he spread the quilt, took off his clothes, got into the bed and pretended to be asleep.I hope that the big stupid bear will let him go because he is already asleep, but he doesn't know that this is clearly a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Xiong Zhuangshan raised his brows at this young husband, and smiled inexplicably.

After pawing himself and blowing out the oil lamp, Xiong Zhuangshan lifted the quilt and leaned into the little husband's ear and said, "Fulang, I think you are right, eating too much at night is not good for the heart, so Let's do something to eat."

"Fulang, I don't want to eat camellia noodles now, but I'm still hungry, so I'll eat you. Camellia noodles are not as delicious as you."

Digging his own grave! Right now, Tang Shou's mind is full of these four characters. He feels that this idiom was born for him. Why can it explain his current situation in such a comprehensive way.

Hehe, big stupid bear, you wait for me, you will definitely not be allowed to have dinner tomorrow, and also, you will not be allowed to drink camellia noodles!
