[Brothers and sisters, today is the first day on the shelves, thank you for your continued support, please don't be stingy with the tickets in your hands, throw them at me! ] 】

Annam Province is located in the middle of the nine provinces of Hwakoku, and its prosperity is second only to Gyeonggi Province, where the imperial city is located. Therefore, this has also created another strange scene, and the infiltration of various forces into Annam Province has become more and more intense, whether it is the officialdom struggle or the business layout, it is shocking. Even so, ordinary people in the market are not aware of it, and it seems to have become an unwritten rule, and anyone who breaks this rule will be kicked out.

Anjiang will now have five industries, four in the west of the city and one in the east of the city. They are Fenghua Building in the west of the city, the Receiving Dart Bureau, Anyi Pharmacy, Huimin Grain Shop and Huixin Grain Shop in the east of the city, although five stores are open to welcome customers, but four of them belong to the opening of new stores, in addition to the profit of Fenghua Building, the remaining four stores are operating at a loss.

For Ye Chen, with the unattainable goal of Vientiane Hall, accelerating the development of the Anjiang Association and expanding the territory of the Anjiang Association has become the most important task of the Anjiang Association. This is not only reflected in the economic strength of the Anjiang Society, but more importantly, the comprehensive strength shown in response to external pressure.

After Qin Xiaoqin's order, Ye Chen's travel has been forced to reduce a lot, all of this is the final say of the Chen housekeeper of the Anjiang Society, and everyone below fully supports it, and people who don't know the truth still think that Ye Chen, the boss, has been hollowed out.

In the study room of the small courtyard, Ye Chen sat in front of the desk and stared at Chen Bing and said angrily: "I'll just go out for a walk, why don't you even have this bit of freedom now." ”

Chen Bing also said angrily: "Then I can't control it, you are now being hung with a dark flower, 50,000 taels of silver, big brother, you can imagine how many people outside are waiting for your life." I wondered why someone was hanging your dark tweed all of a sudden, and there was no sign before. ”

Ye Chen actually couldn't figure out why, according to Qin Xiaoqin's analysis, it shouldn't be Yan Er, the king of the black market, but apart from this Yan Er, Ye Chen couldn't think of anyone else.

At this time, Wei slowly walked in, with bandages still wrapped around his legs, and listened to Song Xueyi say that if the person with the knife used a little more force, he would hurt his muscles and bones. So far, the situation of fighting alone has not been dispersed in Ye Chen and Wei's minds for a long time.

"Boss, Mei just told me that someone hung your dark flower?" Yu asked.

Chen Bing said and stood aside and said: "Yes, he still wants to go out every day, I don't know what to think, I don't want my life!" ”

Ye Chen smiled bitterly: "I'm almost suffocated, I used to stay in Anyi Pharmacy to recuperate, and then I couldn't get out after I came to the small courtyard, it's been almost half a month, you say I don't have to hurry!" ”

"Bingzi is right, it's too risky for you to go out now, besides, I'm still wrapped in bandages, I'm not worried about the three of them, let's wait until I'm better!" Yu said seriously.

Ye Chen had no choice at all, if he wanted to sneak out, he couldn't get around the big King Kong at the door, and he couldn't escape the secret whistle outside the courtyard over the wall, these individuals were all talked to by Chen Bing alone, which probably meant that the boss didn't go out for a month, and each person would be given an extra five taels of silver, otherwise he would be deducted from the silver for three months.

Ye Chen, who has nothing to do, always feels that time is very difficult, and he can't always run, box, and practice skills from morning to night. finally stayed up until dinner time, Ye Chen, who had nothing to do, had a whim, and arranged for the brothers to set up a big pot in the middle of the yard, found a lot of small peppers, peppercorns and other seasonings from the kitchen, and ordered people to buy a lot of lard and all kinds of vegetables, of course, mutton and pork are indispensable, and a pot of hodgepodge without appearance is presented in front of everyone.

Chen Bing and Wu Youtian held the empty bowl on the edge of the cauldron, just quietly looking at the bubbling pot, stunned and didn't dare to move the chopsticks, the two of them had never seen such a way to eat when they were so big.

Ye Chen also likes to eat spicy things, but a group of old men can't open a small stove for themselves alone, so they can only rely on the only few seasonings in the kitchen to stew in a big pot. The fat chef looked at the bubbling soup in front of him, and tasted it with a spoon, except for the spicy and no strange taste as he imagined, he felt that it was not bad when he tasted it, but it was not salty.

The fat chef turned around and ran into the kitchen to make a fuss, and after a while, he ran out and sprinkled something into the pot, Ye Chen hurriedly asked, "Fatty, what did you put it?" ”

"Boss, you didn't put salt." The fat man smiled innocently.

After speaking, he went to bring a large pot of steamed buns, and beckoned everyone to find a stool to sit down and eat, seeing Chen Bing and Wu Youtian's strange expressions, no one dared to be the first to eat crabs. There is everything in such a cauldron, just like the food of the fat pig raised in the backyard, which makes people want to vomit when they look at it.

Ye Chen didn't care so much, he and the fat chef each loaded a bowl of rice, you and I ate one bite at a time, and kept wiping the sweat on my head in the cold weather, and after a while, I finished two steamed buns. Looking at the fragrant appearance of the two eating, Chen Bing couldn't help asking, "Chenzi, is it really so delicious?" How do I feel that you and the fat man are trapping us, I see, you want to use this pot of pig food to put us all down, so that you can sneak out at night? ”

Looking at Chen Bing's seemingly reasonable rhetoric, Ye Chen just smiled and ignored him, picked up a piece of pork belly stained with a little chili pepper and chewed it with a mouthful of steamed buns, which made Wu Youtian swallow his saliva.

"His grandmother's is out, and I'll have a piece of pork too." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of pork belly that was still dripping with soup and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly the whole person seemed much more energetic, looking at Wu Youtian's appearance, Chen Bing still didn't dare to put down his chopsticks. Wu Youtian ignored him, directly picked up the big steamed bun in the basin and took a bite, chewing and saying with a smile: "Boss, don't say it, this pot of stewed is really fucking fragrant!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Bing couldn't bear it, tried to bite the steaming sheep scorpion that Ye Chen gave him, and gave Ye Chen a thumbs up.

A group of old men have meat and no wine, and the left and right jars of reed wine were poured dry, I don't know how much they drank, and they lay drunk on the bed until dawn.

On the third pole of the sun, Chen Bing's small eyes narrowed into a line were so illuminated by the sun that he couldn't open them at all, and pushed open Wu Youtian, who had to rely on his room to get drunk and rest with himself in his room, and there was no one in the courtyard when he walked to the courtyard, and it was not too early to look at the hour, so he knocked on the door one by one. It wasn't until he saw Ye Chen's door half-covered, that the whole person suddenly came to his senses, immediately pushed open the door and rushed in, and sure enough, he found that Ye Chen was gone.

Chen Bing didn't care so much, and immediately rushed to the room and stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Get up for me!" The boss slipped away! ”

A group of big men slowly opened the door in twos and threes, looking at Chen Bing, who was standing in the courtyard, with a blank expression. Chen Bing patted his thigh and was about to cry, and yelled at everyone: "What are you doing in a daze, the boss is gone, and someone will die!" At this moment, he saw the four of them slowly coming out of the room, and he was even more angry, and muttered: "Even a few people dare to go out without taking them, Chenzi, Chenzi, you really don't let Lao Tzu worry." ”

Wei looked at Chen Bing, who was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, and then looked at Ye Chen, who was still standing at the kitchen door behind Chen Bing in an apron, and said with a smile: "Bingzi, isn't the boss behind you!" ”

Chen Bing immediately turned his head to look behind him, and his face was suddenly filled with his unique honest smile, which made everyone laugh. Looking at Chen Bing, who thought he was about to cry when he sneaked away, Ye Chen felt indescribable warmth in his heart, and pretended to smile and scolded: "Call the soul early in the morning, hurry up and wash and eat." ”

"Okay!" The honest butler ignored everyone's laughter and ran into the room.

In the early morning after drinking, a bowl of white rice porridge with a boiled egg, chewing white steamed buns and dried radishes pickled by the fat chef made everyone deeply appreciate how beautiful a sunny morning is!

After the meal, Ye Chen pulled Chen Bing aside and said with a smile: "Bingzi, I heard that Lin Wu is back, why don't we go and see him?" ”

Chen Bing looked at Ye Chen vigilantly and said, "Who did you listen to, why don't I know." ”

"Isn't that what that said yesterday, you see that I drank too much wine and my brain is not good." Ye Chen said with a smile.

Chen Bing squinted his eyes and smiled: "Chenzi, you don't want to see Lin Yanyan, right?" ”

was guessed by Chen Bing's thoughts, Ye Chen's little face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Just say whether you go or not, if you don't go, I can take my brothers with me, besides, the brothers are all present, who can do anything to me!" ”

Chen Bing thought about it, it is estimated that there is no problem with the safety of more than a dozen people together, and there are also the four masters of the Charm and Spirit, so he smiled: "That's not impossible, just take the brothers out for a walk." ”

Seeing Chen Bing's mouth, Ye Chen struck with a hot iron: "That's right!" And there are too many things that have happened during this time, the brothers are nervous all day long, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be problems if this continues, just take advantage of the good weather today and we will go out for a walk together, so it should be a holiday for the brothers. ”

In fact, Ye Chen also understands in his heart that Chen Bing, this kid, has never seen each other since the last Lantern Festival gave a small lantern to the green leaves, plus he has been busy buying goods and opening stores, and Chen Bing is also very busy.

In this way, a large group of people walked towards the direction of the Lin Mansion, and Wei and Wei took a step ahead of them to open the way, in case there were wrongdoers who could warn them in advance.

Lin Mansion, Lin Yanyan looked at Ye Chen and the others who had not seen him for a long time, he was full of joy, and he couldn't wait to trot in front of Ye Chen, and took Ye Chen's shoulder and asked: "What have you been busy with lately, why haven't you heard from you for so long, I have also been to Fenghua Building to look for you, and that stinky Wang Si says that you are busy every time." ”

Chen Bing, who was on the side, quipped: "Yo, Miss Lin, haven't you seen your lover miss him for so long?" ”

Lin Yanyan found that his hand was still tightly tugging on Ye Chen's cuffs, and he hurriedly let go, glaring at Chen Bing angrily. Ye Chen was embarrassed, and his little face was as red as a monkey's ass.

At this moment, the voice of the maid green leaves came from behind Lin Yanyan: "Miss, I found the green dress you wanted." ”

Looking at the green leaves that came over, Chen Bing unconsciously lowered his head, and looked carefully at the fat face, which was no better than Ye Chen.

Seeing this, Lin Yanyan smiled and said, "Chen Bing, what's wrong, what's the blush, haven't you seen our family Ye'er for so long, do you miss her?" ”

The green leaves who walked behind him just heard Miss Lin's words, and saw Chen Bing with his head down, and unconsciously thought of the scene where Chen Bing gave her a little rabbit lantern that night, and his little face turned red unconsciously. This scene happened to be seen by Lin Bo who was passing by, Lin Bo stopped and smiled: "Ye Chen and Chen Bing are here, why didn't the eldest lady invite them in to sit?" What are you doing here? Hey, are you guys hot? Why are you so red? ”

Lin Yanyan hurriedly turned his head and pushed Lin Bo to another direction, and muttered: "Oh, Lin Bo, you go get busy!" "Limber has never seen any scenes in his life for most of his life, and he is like a mirror in his heart about these little guys.
