A young husband dressed as a violent butcher

Chapter 59 The Unexplainable Wood

Those runners who bought camellia oleifera noodles from Xiong's house didn't worry that the three to five hundred catties would be too much to sell. In fact, as long as they left the local prefectural city, even Lincheng would be frantically snapped up.However, because it is too close to Xinghua Village, the price is relatively low, and the income is too little, and there are almost no running merchants to ship here.As long as they move forward, the price will be one price per prefecture.If it can be shipped to the south, or even further afield, the price will double.

Now the camellia oleifera noodle has been advertised by officials and Hu envoys, and it is popular in the whole Yuchao. It is not afraid that there will be no market, but that Xiong's artificial labor will not be able to keep up.Moreover, the camellia oleifera noodles are simple if you know how to make them. If you don't know how to make them, you just rack your brains and can't figure out how to fry oil into camellia oleifera noodles.

An experienced restaurant chef knew that it was fried with oil after seeing it, so he smiled contemptuously, thinking it was so simple and too childish. With his 50 to [-] years of cooking skills, he must be better than Tang Shou, a young husband.As a result, the self-confident old cook will suffer from Waterloo and receive the most severe slap in the face.

These old cooks used oil to fry wheat flour directly, but none of them made it, and none of them thought that the first stir-fry could not be done with oil, and a dry pan was needed.

After all the fiascos, I have to admit that the reason why Taohuayuan Camellia Noodles became famous is indeed worthy of the name. It is not something that can be made by just picking out a random person, so you can only accept your fate.If you want to eat camellia noodles, only Taohuayuan has it.

There is nothing unusual about unique skills, and there is no shortage of people who know unique skills in Yuchao.But the unique craftsmanship and world-renowned reputation are too scarce, and the orders of the Xiong family are soft.

"Erlang, I can't do it anymore. This shoulder is going to hurt like hell." Tang Shou beat his arm and fell on the kitchen chair.

The iron pot of the Xiong family is big, the kind of cauldron that is common in the north in later generations, and it can curl up a child.This kind of large iron pot can stir-fry up to ten catties of wheat flour at one time, and if there is more, it will be easy to burn if it is not stirred in time.

Poor Tang Shou's descendant, a city college student who can't lift his hands or shoulders, has never done heavy work here, but now he has to fry one or two hundred catties of flour every day. After half a month of continuous work, Tang Shou finally couldn't bear it.

Xiong Zhuangshan came over to rub his husband's shoulders. Under Tang Shou's guidance, Xiong Zhuangshan had already mastered the strength and technique of this massage. He pinched Tang Shou twice and then enjoyed it with half-closed eyes.

Seeing Fulang tired like this, Xiong Zhuangshan felt distressed.

"Fu Lang, our family is not short of this money now, if not, let's not do this business, or do less."

Tang Shou, who was enjoying with his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly, like a cat that was robbed of dried fish and meowing.

"How can we do that? How can we not earn money!" Tang Shou said: "We must strike while the iron is hot and make money as soon as possible while the residual heat of official praise is still there. What should I do with the merchants, they traveled thousands of miles just for this item, but they couldn’t buy it here. If things go on like this, these runners spread word of mouth, and they all know that our Taohuayuan is a firm that often lacks goods. Wouldn’t it be a loss of reputation? Once it’s all over, there will be no more runners coming here on purpose. At that time, it will be difficult to restore the reputation.”

"But it's not a way to be so tired every day, and I can't learn it." Xiong Zhuangshan said in a muffled voice. Once I was sad and hated myself for being clumsy and unable to learn.

"Or, let's find a few honest and reliable households in the village and sign a confidentiality contract with them."

Tang Shou thought for a while before vetoing it, "The benefits of camellia oleifera noodles are too great, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand such a big temptation with a confidentiality contract. As long as one person leaks out, the loss to us will be immeasurable. Then We will seek compensation from him in the future, so how can we make up for the loss."

The two of them stopped talking for a while, Tang Shou suddenly lost his mind, there was no way to go on like this, he couldn't be busy at all, and all he was wasting was money.

"Erlang, why don't you buy two laborers at home?" After much deliberation, this was the only way out.

Xiong Zhuangshan vetoed with unprecedented sternness: "No!"

Tang Shou didn't expect him to have such a firm attitude. Why is Xiong Zhuangshan, an ancient person, more difficult to accept this feudal system than he, a modern person.

Tang Shou held the attitude of asking for help with an open mind, and prepared to hear a bunch of truths that soothed his soul and asked piously: "Why?"

Xiong Zhuangshan said straightforwardly: "You and I are enough for the family, there is no need for a third one, at most there is a lazy dog."

Tang Shou: "..."

This reason is impeccable, and he can't find a place to refute it at all.

But most people are like this, if he says something wrong to someone he doesn't like, he will feel that this person is really annoying, and he won't speak at all.But for the person you like, if the other party says something wrong, you will subconsciously defend the other party.

Tang Shou looked at Xiong Zhuangshan and came up with a hundred reasons for him, among which he thought the most likely one was that Xiong Zhuangshan's previous brutal battles on the battlefield caused him to be tyrannical, cold, and disgusted with human relations such as frivolous camps and trivial matters.The most supportive of this speculation is that after Xiong Zhuangshan retired, he lived alone for several years.

In fact, most of Tang Shou's guesses are correct. Xiong Zhuangshan hates contact with people, but for him, Xiong Zhuangshan is willing to turn his home into a homestay, as long as he can afford to run a business, he can live there.In this case, there is nothing wrong with having two more laborers at home.

What Xiong Zhuangshan really didn't want was what he meant literally, that no third person was allowed to intervene between the two of them.

In such a short time, Tang Shou thought a lot in his mind. Under the thought that he could not pierce the window paper, so as not to cause secondary harm to Xiong Zhuangshan, Tang Shou carefully and euphemistically said: "Erlang, do you think this is okay? Don't let them live at home?"

You can reduce contact by not living at home, so maybe Xiong Zhuangshan can accept it.

"Don't live at home?" Xiong Zhuangshan didn't understand what Tang Shou meant. The labor bought by his family didn't live in his house, so where did he live?

Tang Shou explained: "Actually, I am only short of two helpers, but I am worried about the villagers, so I wonder if I can buy back two laborers to help us, but the form can be as hired."

"We rent a house for them in the village, come to our house every day to help, and let them go back at night. The form is the same as employment, the only difference is that we hold their contracts in our hands."

Xiong Zhuangshan thought about it, and although he was reluctant, Fu Lang would not give up the business of camellia oleifera noodles, so he must not be able to do it if he is so tired all by himself.Since Fu Lang took a step back for his sake and didn't allow anyone to live at home, he thought that the two of them lived together, so he had to take a step back, so he nodded.

Tang Shou fried all the camellia noodles needed for the order in hand, and after seeing off the group of guests, he and Xiong Zhuangshan drove the ox cart to the town.

The two first bought the necessities of life such as rice noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for the family, and bought some meat, bones and vegetables, etc., before going to the tooth shop.

There are quite a few people selling their bodies in the dental shop, there are more than ten, but they are either too thin or too old, and there are two delicate little ladies.

Tang Shou didn't dare to glance at those little ladies at all, that's not enough.When the two little ladies looked at Xiong Zhuangshan with watery eyes, their eyes just drifted past Tang Shou, which made Xiong Zhuangshan furious.

"Where are you looking, if you look around, your eyeballs will pop out!" Xiong Zhuang Shan was originally vicious, and when he was so angry, the two little ladies were scared to cry on the spot.

Xiong Zhuangshan is a big stupid bear who doesn't understand the style! Tang Shou shook his head and sighed. It's a pity for those two little ladies. They really flirted with the blind man.

If there is no suitable one, no matter how much the family needs someone, the two of them can only go out to the dentist.

Just two steps away, I heard the noise in front of me, and the crowd automatically separated and squeezed on both sides.

In the middle of the avenue, a few people in official uniforms walked towards a group of prisoners.

The group of prisoners must have been exiled from a rich family for committing a crime, because there were men, women, young and old, masters and servants, about 20 people.

Among these people, the two who were obviously the Lord and Mistress were supported by several young people. Although they were not wearing shackles, every step was as heavy as gold, and their faces were heavy and depressed.Even so, the guards escorting them didn't slow down, they still shouted loudly, if someone slowed down by a step, the whip would be pulled down, without any mercy, the flesh would be ripped apart immediately.

Tang Shou had never faced such a terrifying scene, so he trembled in fright.Xiong Zhuangshan beside him hastily pulled the man behind him and covered him with his burly body.

The group of prisoners happened to be passing by Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan at this time, two of them deviated from the other prisoners, and one of the two who was walking alone suddenly staggered and ran towards Xiong Zhuangshan and Tang Shou.

Xiong Zhuangshan reacted quickly, quickly pulled Tang Shou away, and the young man fell to the ground.

"Big Lang!" The one beside him didn't realize it for a while, but it was obvious that it was a servant who shouted, and rushed over.

"I'm fine, Mo Yan panicked...cough cough..." After the gentleman was lifted up, he still didn't forget to comfort the servant beside him. Seeing his gentleman like this, he didn't seem to be fine, it was clear that he was about to die.The servant looked like he was crying, if he hadn't been concerned about his husband and looked at him, he would have burst into tears.

Attracted by the servant's yelling, the two servants at the front and back cracked their whips.

"What are you doing?" The guard didn't seem to see the pale to transparent face of the man in front of him.

The servant said: "My lord, let's take a rest, my Da Lang really can't move anymore."

"When is it time to return Da Langjun, and now he is worthy?" The guard shouted: "It's just ahead, be honest with me, otherwise don't say I'll whip you down."

The servant was still pleading, "My lord, I really can't walk anymore, please let the little people rest for a while."

The servant got impatient with pestering the servant. He came from Fucheng, and he was waiting to send him to the Yamen of Yulin Town before returning to his command.Furthermore, being made such a fuss by this servant, more and more people watched the excitement, and the pointing and pointing also made him upset.

"Rest? I think your husband is doing well, but he doesn't need to rest! Is it because someone here is waiting for you and wants to escape!" The guard asked indiscriminately: "I think that's the case. Who stood there just now?" here?"

In an instant, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Xiong Zhuangshan and Tang Shou.

Tang Shou was fine, with delicate features, thin and frail, with twins, it was impossible to intercept someone at first glance.But Xiong Zhuangshan is different, he is sturdy and burly, vicious, and there is a bloody smell all over his body, he is frightening to look at, he really looks like a prisoner.

Seeing his fierce face suddenly, the guard took a few steps back in fright like the others. After barely standing still, just as he regained his composure, he realized that he had been frightened into such a loss of composure. Swipe the whip and go down.

In mid-air, he was pinched by a hand full of strange strength. He couldn't help letting go of the hand in pain, and the whip fell out.

The officer cried out in pain: "Presumptuous, who are you waiting for, you dare to attack the official officer, I will definitely order you both to go to jail..."

Other officials gathered quickly, some colleagues from Fucheng were about to step forward to help, but were stopped by the escort from Yulin Town.

The guards in Fucheng were wondering what Yulin Town meant by doing this, so one of them cupped his hands at Xiong Zhuangshan and said, "Xiong Erlang, this is a misunderstanding, please let go."

Xiong Zhuangshan saw that he was someone who knew him, so he let go.

The officer who was let go was pinched green at the first sight, and it hurt even the slightest touch, so he was willing to say, "Don't think you are a local snake in Yulin Town so you dare to be so presumptuous to the officer, we are not waiting for you in Yulin Town." Helping useless servants, we are from Fucheng, so I have to call you no matter what..."

He couldn't tell what it was called Xiong Zhuangshan, because a servant from Yulin Town was afraid that things would get worse, so he hurriedly explained: "My lords, this gentleman is the one who was announced by the government last month. Xiong Zhuangshan who offered the method of pan-kang, Mr. Xiong Lang."

These people are servants of Fucheng, so they can be regarded as the bosses of Yulin Town, so it is reasonable to call them adults.It's just that even though these servants are from Fucheng, they don't dare to provoke the officials who have just rewarded them.

The man's face turned green and white immediately, but after all, he came from a big place, and his face changed quickly.Immediately apologized to Xiong Zhuangshan, "I misunderstood Mr. Xiong just now, please don't take it to heart."

The people don't fight with the officials, and the two of them are not at a disadvantage. Tang Shou said: "Everything you say is a misunderstanding. You must not delay your business."

Seeing that they were sensible, the guard nodded to them with satisfaction, and continued to chase them away with a whip.But the servant next to Da Langjun was loyal and knelt on the ground.

"Lang Junfu, Lang Renshan, please save my Da Lang. My Da Lang has been suffering from high fever for several days. If you don't invite Lang Zhong, he will die of illness." Please.Seeing that even the guards from Fucheng are respectful to Xiong Zhuangshan, and hearing that he is the gentleman who was praised by the officials in the first month, he regards him as a big shot, a life-saving straw.

The guard was afraid that Xiong Zhuangshan would get into trouble because he didn't know the truth, so he explained to them in a low voice: "This family used to be a rich man with a little money in Fucheng, but then he became crazy. He lost his leg, and his eyes were almost blind. How could the only son of that family tolerate him, so he went to the yamen to file a complaint. Originally, it would be enough to pay some money for this matter, but the only son of that family was so old. A cripple, unable to swallow this breath, and begging for a family fortune to a Tokyo descendant, the whole family was sentenced to exile and sold."

The guard went to Xiong Zhuangshan, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm afraid that going out of Fucheng and exile to a remote place will cause trouble, so the eunuch plans to settle it in his jurisdiction. No, As Yulin Town is the poorest, people are exiled here to sell."

"Thank you for letting me know."

The officer smiled and said: "It should be, thank you for talking about it."

Tang Shou knew that this was trying to save their face, so he asked his name. The man knew that Tang Shou wanted to thank him behind his back, so he shied away and said it.

Later, when Tang Shou went to find him and brought a catty of beef, the man explained everything in detail.

The sick Da Langjun was originally the son of the first mistress of the family, but he was pissed to death by the family's concubine within a few years after giving birth to his son.After the death of the mistress, the concubine helped her upright, and Mr. Dalang, the child born to the previous mistress, was naturally made things difficult in every possible way.

Fortunately, Mr. Da Lang has been resilient since he was a child. Knowing that there is no future at home, he planned to take the imperial examination.Seeing that he will be able to take the imperial examination next year, he did not expect to be troubled by the younger brother born to his stepmother.

Tang Shou had wondered earlier that when the Da Lang fell down, except for one servant, the attitude of that family was so indifferent, so there was such a reason.

That servant is a personal servant who has served Mr. Da Lang since he was a child, so his feelings are naturally different from others.

Tang Shou bid farewell to the guards, and returned to Xiong's house with Xiong Zhuangshan in an ox cart.

Tang Shoudao: "Erlang, I want to buy the big man and his servant. Although the big man is thin and sick, he has been educated. How can we find a scholar who sells himself these days? Our family They are all illiterate, and someone who reads can save a lot of trouble. And that servant seems to be able to bear hardships, and he is just right to do manual work. We saved him, Mr. Wang, and with his temperament, he must be devoted to us."

"Furthermore, with their identities, they are not simply slaves, and they dare not escape, so they can be controlled." Tang Shou said, "We can put them outside our home with peace of mind, and we don't worry about them leaking secrets."

"As for the person they offended, they didn't die after all. It's enough to vent their anger if they make a fuss like this, and they won't pursue it any more. Even if they really pursue it, the relationship between Mr. Da Lang and his family is considered an enemy, and he can't be angry." It won't be spilled on him, the main thing is his stepmother's younger brother."

After hearing this, Xiong Zhuangshan thought about it carefully, and agreed that this Da Langjun was indeed a good candidate.

When the two were publicly sold by the government, Tang Shou bought them and brought them back to Xinghua Village.
