Santan finally gave Erlang a very good result after more than ten days of inquiry.

In this Pingliang City, there are really characters that Luo Hao did not expect, and Luo Hao's perspective as a serious businessman is different.

Pingliang City is mixed, and there are some small branches in addition to the few big families that Luo Hao has inquired about before.

For example, the horse gang, which is a separate gang. Although they are called horse gangs, what they do is to kill people and sell goods. Usually there is a job such as buying a murderer or being a bodyguard or even fighting for others.

The beggars, in fact, are not professional beggars. They are made up of a small group of displaced people, small but in groups.

As for individuals, the peacock Jin Xiangyu of the Gentle Cave, the fire phoenix Helian Nalan, and the second lady of the Mabang White Fox are the three most famous women in Pingliang City.

Jin Xiangyu is famous because she has the most news in her hands and knows the most heroes from all walks of life; The white fox is Jin Xiangyu's sister, and although she is an aunt and wife of the leader of the Ma Gang, she is the most powerful; The fire phoenix stands on its own, relying on its brother to be rich and favored, arrogant, domineering, and willful.

"In this way, this fire phoenix is quite powerful. Why did we let our family Huanhuan clean up and not dare to say anything? Erlang sneered, not taking her seriously at all.

"Silent? Didn't anything happen to Wei'er? Isn't this called revenge? Even with that small inn, we dared to touch our people. If no one breathes out of his nostrils, would he dare? Dong Xiaoman crossed Erlang, and sure enough, in his eyes, women are disadvantaged.

"I'm going to see how to win over this beggar gang and the horse gang, everyone is Han and it shouldn't be a big problem." Erlang didn't discuss this issue with Dong Xiaoman, and directly changed the topic.

"Look at how you can get close to the white fox of the caravan. Isn't there a lot of topics to talk about in a woman's house! Erlang looked at Dong Xiaoman with a provocative expression. Not to be outdone, the latter raised his head: "Okay." Since Lord Zhao Dagu needs backup, we can't hold back! ”

"As for Jin Xiangyu, it's not easy to show off the women in the party!" Erlang frowned, as if this golden girl had stumped him.

Dong Xiaoman learned that this Mrs. Ma usually likes to go to the cloth shop the most, but she didn't talk to her after looking for a few opportunities.

The fastest way Erlang found the caravan was to entrust the caravan to escort their goods from the capital to Pingliang City, which was not a big deal in Pingliang City. But because this business can be done for many years, in order to keep this long-term business, the gang leader personally received Erlang.

The two had a good conversation and soon drafted and signed a cooperation agreement. Soon their first cooperation is coming, and Erlang and Dong Xiaoman Xingshi are invited to a banquet in Xiaoyaoju.

When the people and horses gang along the way, the food was also given by Xiaoyaoju. Dong Xiaoman's handmade Yi noodle soup cubes, Yi noodles, dumplings, and pickles. On the way, you don't have to eat the hard steamed buns, and when there are no people, you can camp while cooking, and when the fire is fired, you can boil noodles and drink soup with a pot of mixed water.

On the way, there are also merchants who meet Lu and are curious, and they will also introduce them to them. Slowly going to the northwest businessmen will settle down in Pingliang and then buy some easy-to-carry noodles.

After that cooperation banquet, everyone outside knew that the free house was now involved with the horse gang.

The upper-class people in every city have their own social circles, and Erlang started with Lord Liu and the leader of the Ma Gang, and slowly began to come into contact with these people.

On this day, Lord Liu's father celebrated his 80th birthday, and all the people in Pingliang City came to celebrate. Erlang and Dong Xiaoman both felt that this was an opportunity, and the husband and wife acted separately to prepare for each defeat.

As expected. The female representative of the Ma Gang is the actual second lady of the family, the white fox. In the midst of the greetings of everyone in the backyard, the white fox noticed Dong Xiaoman, who was speechless.

"Mrs. Zhao" The white fox greeted Dong Xiaoman with a smile.

"Madam" Dong Xiaoman naturally omitted the word "madam". Let the white fox can't help but look up and down.

"I have long heard that Mrs. Zhao is a heroine, and I thought that I could visit him once when I had the opportunity, but I didn't expect it to be such an occasion." The white fox and Dong Xiaoman chatted together, and they would naturally be looked at by others.

"Madame has won the award, and when it comes to heroines, I have always heard of the three well-known women in Pingliang City. Madame is ranked first, but she is the indispensable right-hand man of the horse gang leader. There are women everywhere who can get into the kitchen, but there are few who can get out of the hall. Looking at it, it is even more difficult to become the right and left hand of your own man. The two of them praised each other, and they were very outstanding.

The two of them gossiped for a while, and Mrs. Liu came out to meet everyone.

The banquet officially began, and Dong Xiaoman and the white fox sat at Mrs. Liu's table as guests. And there are several female dependents at this table, namely Fire Phoenix Helian Nalan, Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Ping, and Mrs. Shen.

"The dishes on Liu's house are really exquisite, but my sister looks better than ours?" Mrs. Yan picked up a piece of lotus root and winked at the fire phoenix.

"Your food doesn't taste good? It's ridiculous. It's a hundred times better than those stores that boast of never getting tired of eating, and some people just don't know what they can do. Then again, your family is also divided. The fire phoenix tilted the corners of her mouth, as if she was exhaling from the same nostrils as Mrs. Yan.

Dong Xiaoman thought to himself: Yes, I also encountered two troublemakers today.

"Mrs. Zhao, do you think that this Liu family's cook is better than your family? I've eaten your food, tsk, it's not worth mentioning! The fire phoenix directly pulled the topic to Dong Xiaoman, and everyone began to look sideways when they saw this dispute.

Dong Xiaoman was not annoyed when she stood still, but saw her put down her chopsticks and smiled slightly: "The chef in Liu's Mansion makes very good Northwest dishes, which are second to none in Pingliang City." As for our family's dishes, most of them are cooks from the two borders of Jiangnan and Liaodong. Miss Helian doesn't like it, that's because you have never been to Jiangnan or Liaodong, so you don't care about it. ”

In a few words, the fire phoenix can be dismissed? Sure enough, the grumpy Fire Phoenix sneered: "What does this food have to do with never going to Jiangnan, if it's not delicious, it's not delicious, what's there to talk about?" ”

Dong Xiaoman said with an innocent look: "The exquisite taste of Jiangnan side dishes is fresh and peaceful, with moderate salty and sweet shades. And our chef was specially invited from Huaiyang at a high price, and the knife work is first-class and the cooking skills are exquisite. The girl has eaten three sets of duck, his specialty, and you have seen a cook who is even better than his knife skills? He has reached the point of cutting into hair, carving a melon into a flower. ”

After speaking, he asked curiously: "Could it be that the girl doesn't like to eat such dishes?" That's a pity, my chef's ancestor is the imperial chef in the palace. His deep family heritage is quite famous in Jiangnan, otherwise my lord would not have spent a lot of money to hire him. Alas, it can be seen that the girl's mouth is more tricky than the nobles in the palace. ”

The fire phoenix couldn't hear the irony in these words, and raised his little neck without thinking: "That's nature, my mouth is notoriously tricky." ”

Dong Xiaoman sneered: "Why didn't that girl taste the half of the tofu in your bowl from our cook?" That's our signature dish of Wandering House, crystal meat. ”

After speaking, there was immediately a burst of laughter around them, and the faces of the Fire Phoenix and Mrs. Yan were very unhappy.

Mrs. Yan paused and asked strangely: "Why can't your store send out the monthly money, do you want the cook to go to Liu's Mansion to beg for a living?" ”

Mrs. Liu didn't want the fire to get stronger and stronger, so she explained: "My cook suddenly became unwell yesterday, so I had to invite a cook from Xiaoyaoju to take charge. ”

Fire Phoenix muttered: "Then you can't invite their family, this Jiangnan cuisine is the most unpalatable." After pouting, Dong Xiaoman couldn't help laughing and said: "I heard that the old birthday star is from Jiangnan, so he chose our family." Otherwise, I will choose the people from Mrs. Yan's place, but unfortunately there are not many guests at Mrs.'s house, and there is no such entry now, I don't know, do you have to pay the monthly money on time? ”

Mrs. Yan couldn't sit still any longer, her face suddenly fell, and she pointed at Dong Xiaoman and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Dong Xiaoman rolled his eyes and said coldly: "It's boring, I just think that the two of you don't seem to be here to congratulate, but like you're here to smash the field." When I came up, I said that the food of the master's house was not delicious, and I really couldn't understand your etiquette~"

The fire phoenix was furious, and shouted as soon as he opened his mouth: "Who said that, we are talking about your cook's cooking, which is really unpalatable." ”

The sentence is unpalatable, although it is aimed at Dong Xiaoman, but in the end, this cook is still cooking in his own kitchen. Mrs. Liu's face became more and more ugly, and Dong Xiaoman stopped talking when she saw this, and turned to the white fox and said, "I heard that Mrs. got a good-looking jade bracelet a while ago?" ”

The white fox had the heart to give Mrs. Liu a face, and pulled open his sleeves to reveal his white and tender wrists: "This is the one, which my lord bought from the capital with a lot of money." ”

"The bracelet looks at the species, and the pendant looks at the color. This jadeite bracelet has a gorgeous color and a very good head, which is a rare quality. It can be seen that the helper really loves Mrs. very much! Dong Xiaoman's witty words are full of flowers, and the white fox who said it feels like he has been ironed in his heart, which is very refreshing.

It may be that the fire phoenix can't see Dong Xiaoman's goodness, and he said sarcastically: "If you want to pat yourself on the back, you have to see it clearly, what lady, that's the second lady." I don't even know the title, and I'm still patting some sycophants! ”

Dong Xiaoman was not unhappy when he said this, but the white fox lost his face. If nothing else, isn't it just scolding her for being a concubine and not being able to be on the stage.

Except for the girl who has not left the cabinet, the rest of the people present are in the main room. At the same table with one of their concubines, do they feel embarrassed and embarrassed?

Dong Xiaoman saw that the white fox was not good-looking, and the more he wanted to open his mouth to muddy the pot of water. Raising his wine glass and saying to Mrs. Liu: "There is a saying among us Han people that heroes don't ask where they come from. Since he is Mrs. Liu's guest, he is a distinguished guest in the eyes of Mrs. Liu. We are all people who have accompanied our husband all the way, and only we know the taste. ”

Seeing Dong Xiaoman playing a round, Mrs. Liu raised her glass approvingly and said, "Come, have a drink for our wives of the chaff." Without us at home to help, how can those stinky men outside have the ability to spend all their time drinking? (To be continued......)
