Chapter 200: The Treasure of Li Yuan
Thanks to Xiao Yi, bored to see SHU, cola milk instant noodles and other brothers for their tips, and thank Xiao Yi brothers for their monthly ticket support.
"Mr. Chen, this is the understanding agreement you signed just now, although they are not right, they can't bear your anger, I think this matter is over!"
The young policeman raised the letter of agreement in his hand and said, it seems that he had expected this to happen, so he took precautions.
Although it is wrong to slander people, their lives are also difficult, if the family conditions are good, who would want to do such a thing?
"Ugh!" Han Peacock and the others, who were cheering, were all stunned, this policeman is really smart.
"Okay! Little brother, this is my business card, call me if you have something in the future, our brother still has some way to help you, what the fuck, today is unlucky, let's go. After Chen Jiayi finished speaking, he directly took off his wet clothes and walked into his car.
"It's not easy to walk on a rainy day, there is a small restaurant not far from here, the things are very good, you might as well go and have a good meal, rest for a night and then leave." The police didn't expect Chen Jiayi to be so easy to speak, and immediately reciprocated.
"Thank you, brother." After arriving at the end of the day, there was such an unexpected result, and they would have called the police a long time ago.
"Ciao, we don't have a professional driver here, if there is, it costs so much." The dragon scales are thick.
Indeed, if there is a professional driver, the driver knows that there is a recorder on the car, so can he still be blackmailed by the old man?
"Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, but. Today is really fulfilling, I really don't see that Brother Chen is still a good young man who acts bravely. Zhu Feiyu said with a grin.
Chen Jiayi said: "Cut, I knew that Lu Dao would be like this, and I won't get out of the car to send kindness to death, what do you eat at noon?" Now that it's done, I'm really hungry. ”
It's hard to be a good person! No wonder no one wants to be a good person in this world now! What happened today, Chen Jiayi is still very emotional.
Zhu Feiyu said: "We are eating a big meal brought out by Xiao Han, you don't know what to do, there are chickens, fish and pig's trotters." But it's abundant. ”
Han Peacock looked at Chen Jiayi's puzzled eyes and smiled: "It's just some bagged food." Originally, it was just to prepare just in case, but I didn't expect to use it on the first day, and we will have a good meal tonight, and tomorrow there will be nothing. ”
Not far from the side of the road. There is a small restaurant. It's called the Li family's bullwhip stewed grass chicken. Although the name is a bit of a word, this should be the hotel that the police said.
"It's a big man who came out this time, and he won't get angry if he eats this, right?" Zhu Feiyu said with a smile.
Dragon Scale said: "It's not too late to find someone now. Just make a call and let your mistress catch up. ”
"If you don't object, I can call someone to come, and I'll ask them to wait for us in West Lake City." Zhu Feiyu said without shame.
Originally, because it was inconvenient, I didn't bring women, but it's really not interesting to take women without women in this kind of road trip.
Originally, no one was embarrassed to mention it, but now that Zhu Feiyu mentioned it, naturally no one objected.
The hotel is very small, only one small house, because this is the countryside, so there are not many people on the roadside, so the owner of this hotel, around their cottage, built a lot of pavilions, each pavilion placed a table to entertain guests.
Han Peacock They were divided into three tables, one table for every ten people, and soon the hot pot of stewed chicken was delivered, due to the rain all day today, the dishes in the restaurant did not sell much.
The family-style of the restaurant, the father and son are the two people who cook the dishes, surnamed Li, an old Li, a little Li, two women in the family as waiters, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very diligent, and the whole small restaurant is cleaned up.
"How's it going, boys?" Since the business of the restaurant is very good every day, they will stew about a dozen chickens in advance every day, so that customers can eat them when they come.
I didn't expect it to rain all day today, and the processed chickens, if they don't go out of the pot, they will eat tomorrow, and the taste will not be good.
"It's delicious." Han Peacock: They almost said in unison.
There are not too many people who eat chicken in the south, of course, this is for the north first, and the famous stewed chicken made by southerners is even rarer, after all, there is more water in the south and more ducks.
"Old man, it's a pity that your craft is here, if you go to a big city, it will definitely become popular." Chen Jiayi said.
Lao Li said: "No way, I don't want to go outside at this age." ”
"You're really good at this craft, ancestor?" Han Peacock asked curiously.
Lao Li smiled: "What is an ancestral heirloom, I learned it from my master when I was young." ”
"Huh? Is there such a secret recipe still taught by the master? Didn't the original people pay more attention to the inheritance of secret recipes? Dragon Scale said curiously.
The original person, the broom cherishes itself to a perverted level, there are many people's secret recipes, all of which are passed on to children but not to daughters, this Lao Li When he was young, he should have been an apprentice to learn things, right?
How miserable were the apprentices at that time?
If you go to call someone for a few years, you don't count as working, and you still beat and scold, even so, you may not be able to learn anything.
The dragon scale family is a restaurant, and they know the importance of a good dish to a restaurant.
It's like this small restaurant, which is completely dependent on this dish to support, and running such a small restaurant is enough for their family to live a good life, which is the importance of having a skill.
At this time, Xiao Li spoke: "My father used to work in a collective restaurant, and he learned it from his master at that time, and the unique skills in the hands of craftsmen at that time were not valuable. ”
Lao Li said: "I remember that my master was the chef in the restaurant back then, and his good dishes, especially the stewed grass chicken with cowwhip, were even more famous.
At that time, my master was old, so I wanted to find an apprentice to inherit his unique skills.
Unexpectedly, at an internal meeting of the hotel, when he proposed to accept apprentices, unexpectedly no one was willing to learn. ”
"Ugh!" Han Peacock: They were all surprised. No one wants to do such a good deed yet?
Now if Lao Li is willing to teach, at least half of the ten people here are willing to learn, regardless of whether they will use this method to make a living in the future, but with such a inheritance, few people are willing to let go.
"When my master said that he wanted to accept apprentices, the kitchen machine in the restaurant started to talk about everything, and many people said, what's the use of learning this, anyway, they all said the same salary.
And there is a master with a unique skill in his hands. Do more work. And the salary is that, what's the use of learning this?
Will you be tied to chickens and bullwhips for the rest of your life?
Because of this, almost no one wants to learn.
I was young and an apprentice. It doesn't matter if you follow the master.
Unexpectedly. Now it's not just me who has to rely on this craft to eat. Even my sons and grandsons have to rely on this craft to eat.
That's something we never thought we'd ever have, and now some old guys get together and they're envious of my good fortune. ”
Han Peacock and the others were all speechless. This is how such a unique craft has been passed down.
And in the era of economic planning, doing more and doing less, doing a good job and doing a good job, it is because of this, how many crafts are extinct because they are unwilling to work more?
Han Peacock picked up a piece of bullwhip, the bullwhip was only as thick as a little finger, it looked like a slender chicken neck, and it didn't taste at all, but with a sweet fragrance.
Southerners like to eat sweet, so it's normal to have this kind of taste, but this bullwhip stewed grass chicken has a strong spicy flavor, which is more suitable for the taste of southerners.
Because of the man's dampness, eating spicy food is already a habit of southerners.
This kind of bullwhip stewed grass chicken has a sweet, spicy taste, and moderate saltiness, which not only meets the taste of southerners, but also northerners will like it, and those who are willing to eat spicy will like it even more.
It can be said that such a dish has a wide audience, and it can be said that it can be promoted anywhere in the country.
Since there is only one special dish in the Li family restaurant, and the others are all small stir-fried, Han Peacock and his group of 30 people ate ten chickens in one night, almost eating all the chickens prepared in the restaurant at night.
Even if they ate so much, it only cost more than 3,000 yuan, the wine they brought their own, and the other small fried dishes were not worth much, only the stewed chicken cost 300 yuan.
Full of wine and food, Chen Jiayi said: "Uncle, how far is it from West Lake City?" ”
Lao Li said: "It's not far, but you have walked into the fork in the road, if you are not familiar with the road, you may not be able to go around the road, I think you might as well rest with us for a night, if the rain stops tomorrow, the road will be easy to walk." ”
"Do you have any bigger hotels here?" Dragon Scale Road.
Lao Li said: "We really have one here, if you don't plan to leave, you can go to Li Yuan for one night, if the weather is good tomorrow, it will be good to play in Li Yuan for a day tomorrow." ”
"Oh! What's there to do in Lee Garden? Han Peacock asked curiously.
Lao Li seemed to fall into memory: "It turned out to be really good, and now there is nothing to see, but for you outsiders, it's okay to go and play for a day." ”
"Dad, just say it! It's not early. Xiao Li didn't want to listen to Lao Li talk about the ancients, so he directly interrupted him.
Lao Li smiled: "You little generation have never seen it, it turns out that Li Garden is a very famous garden in our Suzhou and Hangzhou states, but it was destroyed in the war in modern times, but even now, there are many people who come here to play, do you know what they are doing here?" ”
"Since it was destroyed in the war, it shouldn't be to see the scenery, is it here to hunt for treasure?" Chen Jiayi thought of the words hanging on Liu Mingyu's lips, and said with a smile in his heart.
Lao Li said: "You are really right, most of the people who come to Li Yuan are here to hunt for treasures, this Li Yuan turned out to be a big family of our generation, and I don't know what era Lu Dao was inherited from, I heard my grandmother say that when the Li family's last young grandmother entered the door, it was really ten miles of red makeup!" ”
"You know the way of ten miles of red makeup, right? Compared to you young people getting married and getting a convoy, in your words, it's weak. Old Man Li said.
The so-called "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" is the scene of marrying a girl in the old days. People often use "thousands of acres of fertile land, ten miles of red makeup" to describe the richness of the dowry.
"Dad, don't blow it, if it really goes ten miles away, how many things will there be? Li Yuansheng's next? Xiao Li said.
Lao Li glared and said, "What do you know?" Even if we open a restaurant now. It also belonged to Li Garden, you look at the highway in the south, and the hill in the distance, this place belongs to Li Garden.
Don't talk about ten miles of red makeup, even if it is a hundred miles of red makeup, the Li family can put it down, he is our thousand-year-old family here! Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the Taiping Rebellion. ”
"Is there really a treasure there? Is it the treasure of the Li family? How do you know that the treasure of the Li family is hidden in Li Yuan? At this time, Liu Mingyu was in good spirits and immediately began to ask about the treasure.
"Of course there's a treasure, and it's in the Li Garden." Lao Li said categorically.
Xiao Li said at this time: "I don't believe in this kind of legend, the Li family is rich and rivals the country." It is said that only in but not out. The treasures are piled up, but after so many years, Li Yuan is almost the same as being dug three feet into the ground, who have you seen find the treasure of the Li family? Xiao Li said.
Lao Li said: "What do you young people know? A thousand-year-old family like the Li family. Is it comparable to the average small door? I had heard a legend. It is said that there is a huge labyrinth underneath the Li Garden. At the end of the labyrinth is the treasure of the Li family.
Before liberation, this was always a legend, but when I grew up. After the Li family was destroyed, we entered the Li Garden, only to find that the legend is true, the current labyrinth of the Li Garden has been developed into a tourist area, what do you say? ”
"That has nothing to do with Ten Mile Red Makeup." Xiao Li said unconvinced.
"How does it not matter? A big bed of the Li family's grandmother back then is still in Li Garden! It hasn't broken until now, and the bed is not much smaller than the room, so I really don't know how Lu Dao put it in back then. Lao Li sighed.
After listening to this conversation between their father and son, whether it was Han Peacock or Chen Jiayi, they were all aroused.
Chen Jiayi said: "How do you know that the wealth of the Li family is still hidden in Li Yuan? ”
Lao Li said: "Although the Li family is rich, but there is no good reputation in the local area, one of the main reasons is that the rich are not benevolent, not a dime, his family's manor, built very strong, if it is during the day, you will see, there are still some ancient city walls on the mountain over there, that is the outer city wall of Li Yuan."
The Li family's manor is more solid than that of West Lake City, and it can also be said that it has a lot of wealth from here, and it has been inherited for thousands of years, and the Li family has made money doing business for generations, only to transport it into Li Garden, and no one has ever seen it shipped out.
Whether it was when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom broke through Li Yuan, or when Japan occupied here, even if the modern founding of the country, after ten years of destruction, the Li family in Li Yuan was ruined, but no one found much from it, whether it was Changmao or the Japanese, they did not take advantage of the Li family.
I heard that the Li family was attacked for the first time. It was Li Xiucheng, the loyal king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, when Li Yuan was besieged for several months, and Li Yuan was only broken after the bullet was exhausted.
Since Li Yuan was breached this time, the Li family who was in Li Yuan at that time disappeared, and although the Li family's family members outside the family came back, they did not support the family again.
Because the loyal king Li Xiucheng was once stationed in Li Yuan, it was later occupied by the Qing army, and later, the Kuomintang Party, the Japanese army, and even the People's Liberation Army once stationed troops in Li Yuan.
However, since Li Yuan was broken, no one has found a large amount of property from Li Yuan, which caused a great sensation at that time.
You must know that the accumulation of Li Yuan's thousands of years is not trivial, even if their family background has been lost, it is impossible for their finances to disappear on the bright side.
But since Li Xiucheng broke through Li Yuan, no one has ever seen the wealth of the Li family, not even a tea bowl has been found, do you think it's strange?
So many people speculate that the Li family's treasure house is still hidden here, and if anyone can find the Li family's treasure house, it will really be rich overnight, and the wealth will rival the country. ”
"Is this true?" Everyone was enthusiastic by what the old man said.
Of course, the Han peacock inside is no exception, the inferior root nature of the Chinese is too clear, a little good thing has to dig a pit to hide, at that time, whether it is a large family or a flat-headed people, it is this problem.
If Li Yuan's things were really not snatched in the war, then they were really hidden here, but they hadn't been discovered after so many years.
"Just listen to it, over the years, I've seen a lot of people come here to hunt for treasures, and there are many people who have stayed here for months without getting anything, so don't take it seriously." Xiao Li saw Han Peacock's eager eyes, and immediately poured cold water on them.
"Hehe, why are so many people looking for it? It's because of the ten-mile red makeup I mentioned just now, we don't know anything else about the Li family, but the ten-mile red makeup is too eye-catching, so many things are carried into Li Yuan, but no one has ever seen it carried out.
That's what a woman can use for a lifetime, from pots and pans, to clothes and jewelry, what can make a woman use for a lifetime, how many do you say?
Besides, the houses built by Li Yuan are all earth and stone structures, such houses have not been damaged until now, so there is no sign of being set on fire, since there are no traces of destruction, why are these things gone? "The old man of the Li family really believes in the legend of the treasure.
Han Peacock smiled at this time: "Could it be that it was snatched away by the loyal king Li Xiucheng?" ”
"This is impossible, I heard that after Li Xiucheng captured Li Yuan, not only did he not transport things from Li's family, but he transported a lot of things into Li Yuan.
I heard that after Li Xiucheng captured Suzhou and Hangzhou, all the captured property was transported to Li Yuan, and he wanted to buy guns from foreigners after occupying the magic capital.
But we all know that the magic city was not occupied by Li Xiucheng, and when Liu Xiucheng retreated, he followed the car lightly and did not transport things away.
Since then, Li Xiucheng has never come to Li Yuan again until he was executed by Zeng Guofan, let alone let anyone transport anything out of Li Yuan.
I heard that after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, Zeng Guofan's Hunan army had been stationed in Li Yuan for a year, but they obviously did not get the slightest gain. The old man of the Li family said a little triumphantly. (To be continued......)
