Chapter 29 Lamb Buns
After meeting Ding Yuan for a secret talk, Jiang Feng rushed back to Yanmen County again and explained some ways to deal with Ding Yuan. Then Jiang Feng ordered the reduction of taxes in the entire Yanmen County to encourage the people to open up land and farm, and sold sheep at low prices to encourage the people to breed, allocate financial subsidies to dig deep wells in each county town and village, and collect related medicines to effectively kill locusts and prevent plagues. After doing all this, Jiang Feng reminded Gao Shun again and took Xia Ying to leave Yanmen County quietly!
The natural disaster of the Great Sweat has begun to appear. The scorching sun in the north is hot and rainy in the south is continuous, and various insects and poisonous insects are growing. The lives of the people are already extremely difficult and they have to pay huge taxes. The food they grow cannot even guarantee their lives, but fortunately, they can barely live with wild vegetables and game!
Xia Ying, who was traveling far away for the first time, was extremely excited and chattered and kept talking to Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng smiled and listened to Xia Ying's words and then silently observed the living conditions of all the villages passing by. When he saw the so-called Yellow Turban Heavenly Master Bu Fu Shi rescue Jiang Feng, he would also watch it curiously, but after seeing that he had no technical content, he could no longer be interested.
Jiang Feng and Xia Ying were dressed almost in ordinary clothes, but the clothes on the two were brand new, and their weapons were inserted into the weapon cover on the butts of the war horse. However, Jiang Feng's weapons were guns and halberds, while Xia Ying's weapons were guns and ring-headed swords. Along the way, some robbers who were starving guest appearances were ready to move, but after seeing the strong and heroic bodies of Jiang Feng and Xia Ying and the weapons hanging on the butts of the war horse, they all continued to hide in the woods as if they had not found the two.
There were also some robbers who were not long-eyed or were starved and starved to take action, but Xia Ying was responsible for solving them all. However, Jiang Feng kept pointing out the flaws and shortcomings in Xia Ying's shooting skills, which made Xia Ying want more robbers to come. The only thing that made Xia Ying unsatisfied was that Jiang Feng asked him to show mercy, otherwise these robbers holding wooden sticks, hoes, and kitchen knives would be killed or injured.
The living conditions of remote counties and villages along the way made Xia Ying, who could not rest free, gradually became silent. The people with difficult life were not covered, and their thin bodies would be blown down by the wind at any time. The hungry children chased Jiang Feng and Xia Ying, trying to get some food to fill their hunger, while Xia Ying silently threw his dry food to these poor children.
"Xia Ying! A person's power is limited. Although you helped them today, the current situation will be repeated tomorrow and in the future. Do you know why the people live so hard?" Jiang Feng asked the silent Xia Ying.
"Of course it's the good things done by those corrupt officials! You can't do anything except plunder the people's wealth and ointment! There are also those aristocratic families who are worse than beasts!" Xia Ying said angrily, thinking of those corrupt officials and the unscrupulous aristocratic families Xia Ying was furious.
"Xia Ying, the root cause is actually the corruption of the Han court! If you want to change the fate of these people, you must first change your own destiny! Maybe it was us who changed the fate of these people! Let's go! Xia Ying!" Jiang Feng said with a smile at Xia Ying. When Xia Ying heard Jiang Feng's words, she immediately stared at her eyes, and her big round eyes were full of passion and admiration. Xia Ying understood Jiang Feng's words!
After a few more days, Jiang Feng and Xia Ying's dry food had almost been consumed. Xia Ying's dry food was given to the hungry children, and they all relied on the dry food carried by Jiang Feng to satisfy their hunger. When they found that there was an inn not far ahead, Jiang Feng immediately decided to take a break and replenish some dry food.
"Is anyone?" Jiang Feng and Xia Ying rushed to this inn without any guests. When they saw that no one was receiving them, Xia Ying immediately shouted loudly.
"Here! Come! Please come in!" A fat man dressed in a guy hurriedly ran out of the inn. After seeing this guy, Jiang Feng was stunned. The difference between this guy and the thin people in the remote mountain village was too big!
"My man, put a few of your specialty dishes and prepare some dry food for us." Jiang Feng said lightly to the man. Jiang Feng, who had been eating dry food, also wanted to reward his stomach. Seeing the man's body shape, Jiang Feng estimated that the business of this shop should be good.
"I'm sorry, we only have buns here! Big meat stuffing buns! So delicious!" The guy hurriedly introduced to Jiang Feng attentively.
"Oh? What else is the stuffing?" Since there is only buns, Jiang Feng has no choice, and when he heard the guy introduce the meat stuffing, Jiang Feng asked casually, although Jiang Feng was a little surprised why this inn only has buns.
"Sorry, we only have meat-filled buns! Scented meat-filled buns! How many of them are you two going to come?" The fat guy continued to smile at Jiang Feng.
"Twenty buns first! If they taste delicious, we will bring some dry food!" Jiang Feng told the clerk lightly, but Jiang Feng always felt that this clerk was very abnormal. The villagers in the surrounding mountain villages were skinny, but this clerk was fat and big. Moreover, such a large inn actually only sells buns, and it was made of meat!
"Kei Guan Baozi is here!" The man walked to Jiang Feng and Xia Ying's tables with a large wooden tray and shouted loudly. He heard the guy's shouting, and there was a hint of professionalism.
"Man, what kind of meat is this bun filling?" Jiang Feng frowned and asked as he looked at the bun that had obviously been placed for several days and was simply hot. Although the bun could be from a few days ago, this bun was indeed a delicious big bun as my friend said.
"Customer, it's mutton buns, you two can use it slowly!" The guy said with a charming smile, then put down the buns and turned away from Jiang Feng and Xia Ying's tables.
"Mutton buns?" A sneer flashed in Jiang Feng's heart. How could Jiang Feng, who had eaten mutton for many years, not smell the mutton smell? All signs indicate that there is something wrong with this store. Jiang Feng knew that this store should be the so-called black store, and the filling of this bun? Thinking of this, Jiang Feng's stomach churned!
"Is the mutton bun? Why doesn't the mutton smell at all? Let me try it!" Xia Ying said as she reached out to grab the buns on the tray. Xia Ying, who had eaten dry food for many days, also wanted to improve the food.
"Bang!" Jiang Feng knocked off Xia Ying's hand that grabbed Baozi, and Xia Ying suddenly blushed. Recently, Xia Ying has started to get up casually when she gets along with Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng knocked off the hand that caught Baozi, Xia Ying thought Jiang Feng was dissatisfied with him.
Jiang Feng looked up and saw that there was no one in the store. Even the fat guy returned to the kitchen to work. Jiang Feng quickly grabbed three buns and threw them outside the inn door. Then he divided the bun in half, threw half of them in front of Xia Ying, and then threw the other side in front of him.
"Lying on the table, don't move, it's like falling asleep!" Jiang Feng said to Xia Ying and lay on the table, and then did as he did except breathing!
The two of them lay on the table for a while and the sound of "slap" footsteps came, and then Jiang Feng and Xia Ying heard the fat guy's voice.
"The fat sheep has been brought down! Come here with you guys!" The fat guy shouted loudly in the inn. Soon, the footsteps of three or four people were heard, and Xia Ying, who was lying on the table, suddenly turned red with shame. Xia Ying already understood what was going on.
"Bang!" Xia Ying stood up angrily and grabbed the tray on the table and smashed it hard at the fat guy. The tray and more than a dozen buns hit the fat guy's face. The thick wooden tray was smashed into pieces by Xia Ying's huge force.
"Ah! My face! Ah!" The fat guy fell down. The fat guy's face was smashed by Xia Ying, and the bright red blood couldn't stop flowing out through the cracks of his fingers.
The two men and one woman who just walked in from the back of the inn happened to see this scene. The two men and one woman were similar to the fat guys. They were both fat and strong, obviously very nutritious. The two men were each carrying a wooden stick and the woman was holding a rope in her hands. They were obviously planning to tie Jiang Feng and Xia Ying and then carry it to the kitchen!
"Go up, kill them!" The two men holding wooden sticks were stunned, and then shouted and rushed towards Xia Ying with the wooden sticks high. Jiang Feng was still lying on the table. The two men thought Jiang Feng had eaten the buns.
"Wait!" "Ah!" "Bang!" Xia Ying put down two men holding wooden sticks in two neat ways, and the woman holding a rope and the fat guy who kept wailing suddenly looked at Xia Ying in amazement. Both of them couldn't believe that the man in front of him was so powerful.
"Lord! How to deal with them?" Xia Ying's anger was relieved after putting down the two men, and she asked Jiang Feng for instructions.
When Jiang Feng heard Xia Ying's request, he stopped pretending, but just raised his right hand and gestured around his neck, without even turning his body.
"No!" Xia Ying immediately responded in a deep voice when she saw Jiang Feng's gesture, and the fat guy and the woman were immediately panicked. They could understand the gesture.
"Crack!" "Crack!" Xia Ying cut off the two unconscious men like a god of killing, and then walked towards the fat guy and the woman with a grin.
"Hero, please spare me! Hero, please spare me!" The frightened fat guy immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Xia Ying was not ruthless at all, and Jiang Feng would not agree to let these beasts continue to live.
Only that woman still has a trace of backbone, she never begs for mercy or runs away. Although there was fear in her eyes, she still had a trace of relief. This woman obviously had a trace of conscience, but Xia Ying would not show mercy without Jiang Feng's order.
After finding some semolina from the kitchen of the inn, Jiang Feng did not use the inn's kitchen utensils but looked for a farmer. After making some edible dry food, the remaining flour was given to the farmer. After the farmer's wife's gratitude, Jiang Feng took Xia Ying to continue on his way.
"Master, what kind of stuffing is that bun?"
"Must filling!"
"Lord, but why is that mutton not smelly at all?"
"Didn't you hear the fat guy say 'The fat sheep has been put down, and you're all bringing the guys over'?"
