The two shopkeepers went to Shuzhou in person, not only the two shopkeepers, but also more than 200 guys from two shops, and the group went on the road in batches.

This is Gu Qing's plan.

When faced with external enemies or pressures, there is more than one solution to the dilemma. There was a joke in my previous life that said that money can solve 99% of the world's problems, which is not entirely true, but there is some truth in the end.

Having money, coupled with an idea that doesn't follow the rules, is a way to break the game.

Standing at the door of the Changlong Ji shop, watching Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing go on the road together, the two shopkeepers walked side by side, each with an indifferent face, but the distance was very close, occasionally a carriage came in the middle of the road, Shi Daxing also pulled Hao Donglai's arm to avoid the carriage, like a pair of old husbands and wives who were arguing, angry, but still in love.

"Let's go too, back to the village." Gu Qing greeted Song Gensheng.

The two lived in Qingcheng County for several days this time, and Gu Qing didn't feel comfortable for some reason, but he still felt that Shiqiao Village was good, and the mountains and rivers were good.

Gu Qing bought a lot of things in the city, most of which were related to the kitchen and eating. Bought a square pot, or should it be called "Ding", bought some sauces and various seasonings, Song Gensheng bought a few feet of very fancy cloth, the cloth was very soft, and even gritted his teeth and bought a few feet of green silk.

Gu Qing knew who he bought these cloths for, and when he bought them, he tried very hard to persuade him to give this kind of cloth with too fancy colors to a girl who had not left the cabinet, and it was very likely that people would refuse politely, after all, now Xiu'er's mother and daughter are not too short of money under Gu Qing's care.

Song Gensheng is very persistent, and the straight man's aesthetic tells him that the more fancy things are, the more they can get the girl's favor, and the girl's family just likes colorful things.

So Gu Qing didn't stop it.

Sometimes persuasion is useless, tugging on his arm and telling him hoarsely that there is a pit in front of him, a pit, a pit! He still won't believe it, he has to go into it himself, and only after he falls with a blue nose and swollen face will he suddenly realize, oh, it turns out that it is really a pit. So I instantly found myself growing.

Adults call this "experience".

Gu Qing calls this kind of person a "fool", and the meaning is actually the same.

When he was about to walk to the city gate, he saw two rows of errand officers opening the way outside the city gate, separating the crowd, behind the errand was an ox cart, and a simple shed was built on the ox cart, which looked shabby, Song Gensheng hurriedly pulled Gu Qing to avoid the roadside, and whispered to him that this was the honor guard of the county order.

Gu Qing was a little surprised, the county order actually used such a shabby guard of honor, it seemed that he was really an honest official.

The civilians along the way all got out of the way, standing quietly to let the guard of honor pass, the ox cart walked slowly, and when it passed in front of Gu Qing, the carport on the ox cart opened a corner curtain, and Gu Qing raised his head and looked at the eyes of Huang Xian Ling on the car.

Both of them were a little stunned, and then Gu Qing's eyes became a little mocking, Huang Xianling's expression was also gloomy, and the eyes of the two collided and staggered in an instant.

After the ox cart, Gu Qing patted Song Gensheng on the shoulder and signaled to continue going out of the city.

Inside the ox cart, Huang Xian Ling closed his eyes with satisfaction. He saw Gu Qing's eyes just now, and in the short meeting, he only saw a hint of mockery, but so what?

The porcelain kiln has been sealed, and it will never be unsealed, the eyes of a mere civilian, whether it is anger or ridicule, in his opinion, are just helpless and useless catharsis, after catharsis, nothing can be changed.

How do the people fight with the officials? Funny.

Huang Wenjin exhaled slowly, raised his hand and stroked his beard. The official robe on his body is a little old, this official robe was made when he took office six years ago, and now there are some worn holes in the cuffs.

It doesn't matter, it is an honor to serve the people wholeheartedly and be an official impartially, and the shabby official robes are a kind of glory.

…………

It was already evening when he returned to the village, and Gu Qing sat down on the futon in the middle of the courtyard when he entered the door, exhaling a long breath.

The mountain road is too difficult to walk and very tiring. In the future, if you have the wealth of the country, you must build a smooth road to Qingcheng County.

The gate creaked, Zhang Huaiyu poked his head out of the door, looked around carefully, and found that Gu Qing was the only one in the courtyard, so he pushed open the door and came in.

Still dressed in white, still with an indifferent face, Gu Qing looked at her with interest.

"Changed your style today? The front door has been swaggering, why is it sneaky today? ”

Zhang Huaiyu was dissatisfied: "You are sneaky! …… Hasn't that Jiannan Dao Jiedu envoy left yet? ”

"No, he and his entourage live in another villager's house."

"Why didn't you chase him away?"

Gu Qing was surprised: "Are you crazy?" I'm just a farmer, and that is the Jiedu envoy, do you think I have the courage to drive him away? ”

Gu Qing stared at her face and said, "Do you know that festival envoy?" I found out that you have been avoiding him since he came to our village, you are a long-lost father and daughter? ”

Zhang Huaiyu sneered: "You really dare to think about it." ”

"Or did you rob him in the course of your chivalrous deeds? Beat him? ”

Zhang Huaiyu didn't want to speak, and threw a bloody piece at him.

Gu Qing subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it: "What?" ”

"Beef."

Gu Qing hurriedly turned his head to look at the cowshed on the north side of the yard, where there was a live cow that had been brought back by Zhang Huaiyu.

"You've stuck out your clutches on it after all......"

"I bought it! I bought it from a restaurant in the county seat, and you said you would make beef, so do it. Zhang Huaiyu said impatiently.

Gu Qing was suddenly pleasantly surprised, beef, it doesn't matter how much you ate in your previous life, but the beef in this life is too precious, strictly speaking, this is illegal meat, the taste is already secondary, and it tastes like the pleasure of doing bad things in the rebellious period of youth, the more illegal it is, the more excited it is.

This time you must do it well.

Gu Qing, who was originally a little tired, immediately cheered up, first cut the meat, cut the beef into shredded meat and put it in a large bowl, and then mixed it with sauce and salt to marinate it, but unfortunately there was no cooking wine this year, and the taste was inevitably a little tarnished.

While pickling, Gu Qing turned around and prepared some wild vegetables, green onions, ginger and garlic, and cooked the rice by the way.

Zhang Huaiyu watched Gu Qing busy back and forth, and a little smile appeared in his indifferent eyes.

"You're such an anomaly, I haven't heard of a man cooking in these years, and this kind of thing is usually done by women."

Gu Qingtou didn't look back and said, "Do men have to starve to death before marrying a wife?" ”

"Before marrying a wife, I have a mother to do it."

"I don't have a woman in my family, besides, it's not me to brag, the women in the world cook are not necessarily more delicious than me."

Zhang Huaiyu's eyes changed a little, and he suddenly sighed: "You must have had a hard time alone all these years, right?" You don't have your parents around to take care of you, so you have to rely on yourself, is this how you learned your cooking skills? ”

Gu Qing smiled: "I didn't add drama to myself, why do you have to force me to add drama?" I was not mentally prepared at all for such a forcible sensationalism, and I had to brew tears to have it. ”

Zhang Huaiyu said dissatisfiedly: "I'm just caring about you on behalf of your parents." ”

Gu Qing's action of washing vegetables suddenly paused, turned his head to look at her, and said seriously: "You know my parents, and you took the initiative to come to the village to meet me, to be honest, you shouldn't be the daughter-in-law that my parents recognized back then, right?" ”

Zhang Huaiyu was furious: "Nonsense! ”

Gu Qing's shoulders were obviously relaxed, and he could see that he was relieved: "That's good, I'll treat you as a brother, if you want to sleep with me, it will be too rude, and the sky will thunder." ”
