Chapter 91: Getting Fang Zi to save money and avoid disasters

Li Xun picked this path so as not to delay people coming and going on the road. There were already people in front of the path to check if there was any danger. Usually no pedestrians came, but there were two small mountain buns on the road, saying that they were mountains or soil buns. There were a few trees growing on it and there were no cliffs.

Today I will get there after walking forward. It will take a lot of time to cross the mountain. Zhang Xiaobao spoke and accelerated a little. According to his calculations, most people would rest on the mountain at night.

He didn't talk to Wang Juan, and Li Xun and the people around him were also rushing to the road. Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi behind him could not remain silent. The two of them were a little further away from the team and got together to discuss matters.

"Brother Xingyi, I can't figure out why the three of them were caught? Will you give me the gift when you say it?" Han Yongyao rubbed his hands anxiously, hoping to get something from Yuan Xingyi's mouth to comfort him.

Yuan Xingyi was also worried. When he heard this, he whispered, "Yes, those yamen runners' methods are great. I'm not afraid of this. If I ask, we don't admit it. So what can they do? We are not from Sanshui County, so they dare to go there to arrest people?"

"Is it okay to say so?" Han Yongyao was delighted.

"It's okay? It's a big deal. The two villages of Zhang and Wang will remember us. If they don't do it well, they will make trouble for our two families. No, I have to arrange someone to go back and tell me, so that people can watch more at night."

Yuan Xingyi was talking, and suddenly thought of this. He didn't care how Han Yongyao asked Zhang and Wang how the two villages would retaliate. He quickly found the guard who accompanied him here and waited for the man to take the order back. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Han Yongyao, who had just asked someone to go back to report the news, said:

"It's good now. Come and contact Mr. Li more in the future and give me some benefits to avoid Mr. Li helping them. I think Mr. Li is not bad with the two families of Zhang and Wang, and somehow I don't think about buying a restaurant and a farm. I have the opportunity to take this matter up."

As he spoke, perhaps he felt that his idea was good. Yuan Xingyi laughed sinister again. Han Yongyao nodded suddenly when he heard it, thinking that this method was indeed good.

"When I was eating, I gave the good things I brought in my bag to Mr. Li for food." Han Yongyao thought of such a close and pleasing way.

Yuan Xingyi shook his head, "No, Mr. Li is trying to get something this time. You give him what you eat. He won't eat it. He has to feel the details of survival in the wild. If he really gives it, he will be angry."

"Brother Xingyi said, I was neglected, yes, I won't give it." Han Yongyao felt that he was much worse than Yuan Xingyi, and was even more grateful, and learned to imitate.

Li Xun was rushing the road and looked up at the sky from time to time. He felt that it was too dark today. He was thinking about what Zhang Xiaobao said and discussed. In his opinion, this was not Zhang Xiaobao's words to him, but the master from Zhangjiazhuang was passing the message through Zhang Xiaobao's mouth.

In this torment of mood, the sky finally darkened slowly, and they also walked to the second small hill. When the round sun eyes, which looked like an egg yolk, watched the mountain set, the team stopped, and the people who were rushing forward had already taken out the things and started eating.

Li Xun and others also started to eat something. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took out the things. After seeing them, they were all surprised, and Li Xun was also a little puzzled.

He thought Zhang Xiaobao and the other two would take out the same fried noodles as him, but unexpectedly, the two of them took out raw rice from their backpacks.

"Xiaobao, you want to..." Li Xun asked, pointing at the rice.

"Cooking, at night, Juanjuan and I ate some snacks at noon. If we don't eat them, we will be hungry." Zhang Xiaobao looked as if he was taken for granted.

One of the two men took out a small pot, put the bowl in it and put it in the pot. One was like a large spoon and the other was steamed the same, which was much smaller.

Wang Juan was responsible for adding water to steam rice, Zhang Xiaobao dug a hole to pick up firewood, and a small foldable three-legged iron ring was placed on the fire.

When the rice was steamed, the two of them took out the long-cut radish and beef, put it in another pot, poured some oil, stir-fried the pot with chopped green onion, and then stewed the radish onion and cooked it.

Everyone was stunned when they saw it. At this time, they were still in the mood to cook. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took out two big goose eggs in their surprise eyes. They actually put the goose eggs in their backpacks.

"Xiaobao, eat one, we two are enough." Wang Juan looked at the goose egg in his hand, then looked at the one in Zhang Xiaobao, and said.

"Okay, just eat one." Zhang Xiaobao took his own back, took out the largest iron set of bowls, lit a bunch of fire, put oil in the bowl, Wang Juan came over and knocked the goose eggs on the edge of the bowl, and with a 'wow', the egg whites and egg yolks inside entered the bowl.

"Raw?" Several people spoke at the same time, thinking that it was salty and cooked, but they didn't expect it to be raw.

Li Xun watched from the side, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he was, how could Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan not bring food that was convenient to carry? They made it on the way, so there was less stuff in their backpack. I couldn't help but be curious and asked:

"Xiaobao, do you have any tricks on what you bring?"

"Teacher? No, Juanjuan and I came in too haste. I came from Xiao Luoshui, so I didn't have any other things I prepared. I could only bring some of them and stewed radish together after a while? There was a special seasoning from my family. I like to dip this beef into garlic sauce the most, Juanjuan didn't want to."

Zhang Xiaobao explained to Li Xun that in fact, he and Wang Juan came here to trouble Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi. It was not really a wild survival. If you can enjoy it, enjoy it.

Li Xun naturally didn't believe it anymore. Xiao Luoshui had nothing to do. Seeing Zhang Xiaobao say this, he could only keep his words in his heart. What should I do if the two of them ate the food when they saw it? Will they rely on eating that thing all day in the future?

The dish was stewed in the pot, and Zhang Xiaobao's thirteen fragrance was added. The fragrance floated everywhere in a while, and the rice fragrance was the same. It made those who could only eat fried noodles or cooked food swallow their saliva secretly, even if they could drink a sip of the stewed soup.

Li Xun thought for a while, and finally decided to eat something from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and said, "Put some more meat, just a little more soup later. You two can't eat rice, right? Get some for me and I'll soak it in the soup. Are you... cucumbers?"

As he was talking, Zhang Xiaobao took out two cucumbers from his bag, buckled an iron bowl, pulled out a smaller kitchen knife, and slapped it on the 'skirt'. Wang Juan also handed a few cloves of garlic over.

Hearing Li Xun's words, Zhang Xiaobao kept moving his hands and said, "Well, cucumbers, take them for garlic cucumbers, and I'll order them later. Unless you are transported from other places, ordinary people will not be able to eat them."

"I know, it seems that your farm has auspiciousness again this year, right? In winter, your house will give me some and I will sell it for you? How about it?"

Li Xun understood that this cucumber is auspicious, but Zhangjiazhuang had a method to grow cucumbers. He guessed it last year. He wanted to come and snatch it, but his father stopped him and said that he could not cut off his wealth and could be content with it. Zhangjiazhuangzi hoped that cucumbers would make more money.

Later, I heard that Zhangjiazhuangzi had already been prepared, and as long as someone came over, the place would be destroyed. This gave up the idea. Now I am familiar with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and I am even more embarrassed to ask for the method, so I can only buy some and go back.

Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand, put the cucumbers and garlic in a bowl, sprinkled some salt, and said while swaying there: "There is no need to sell it. This year, my family grows a lot, and I can eat cucumbers in one go next year, and I will allocate them to you. When I go back, I will send some to you. You must respect the elders and learn the method of planting, and give them to the prince. This can also be considered as doing some good things for the people."

"Your family wants to hand over the method? Then..." Li Xun didn't expect that Zhang Xiaobao was willing to hand over the method, which was all money.

"Well, my father said, "I'm going to hand over, I'm going to hand over, but I'm going to find out the method I suddenly found out. I don't know if it's easy to use. Xiangrui, I've mastered the method this year, so I'm so relieved. In fact, it's the person in my family who said that I can't keep it anymore. I can get some benefits if I hand over, and I dare to sell it if I don't hand over, and I dare to say Xiangrui?"

Zhang Xiaobao said helplessly, once the method is revealed, it is not just about growing cucumbers, but about trying to plant other things. How much does it cost to lose?

But this thing is like a bomb. With the arrival of the new county magistrate, Xiao Luoshui's income has so much, and Zhang and Wang's family have been targeted. Let's lose money and eliminate disasters.

Li Xun pondered for a moment, "I understand. You just said that you have something to discuss with me. This is the matter? What benefits do you want? Give your father and Wang Juan's father another grade?"

"If you don't get promoted, it's a false position. It's enough to have a seventh-rank official position. Juanjuan's father will find a way when he says he can't get promoted. No matter what his father says, it's hard to make arrangements after the promotion. As long as you help spread my father's reputation, you must grow vegetables in Yongcheng."

Zhang Xiaobao doesn’t want to ask for an official position for his father now. If he really gives it, how can he arrange the grades after the imperial examination? Now he has obtained a sixth rank official. Will he be a high-ranking official at that time be a county magistrate? That is the county magistrate of Chang'an, the capital city. Just use this method to change his reputation. Then, help promote it everywhere, and County Magistrate Cheng finds good people, so it will be smoother to post.

Li Xun didn't know that all these were discussed by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and thought that it was the guidance of the master Zhangjiazhuangzi.

"Mr. Li, I just said something about it. It's not this one, but another. Let's build a few restaurants next to the Shuiyunjian. Let's go back and tell you the detailed plans. Another one is to ask you to help." Zhang Xiaobao said again.
