Chapter Forty-Three: The Return
Compared with Tu Lichun, Tu Hu's whole person is smaller, Tu Lichun belongs to the type of domineering leakage, go there and stand there, not angry and self-imposing, Tu Hu's name is much more domineering, but in fact, the first feeling is to be more rounded, with a gentle smile on his face, his beard is neatly trimmed, and he doesn't look aggressive.
But this is just appearance, in fact, Tu Hu's mind is much more meticulous than Tu Lichun's, and his methods are much more ruthless, otherwise, Li Ze would not dare to hand over this big mess outside to Tu Hu to take care of. In this era, it is not easy to lead a caravan to run around, not only to deal with the government, but also to deal with local tyrants, as for the mountain bandits, there are even more.
Within a few years, Tu Hu opened up the situation under the rule of the Henghai Navy, and achieved leapfrog development on the basis of the original small sales channels of Yixingtang, which shows its strong ability. That caravan, to put it bluntly, is another armed force.
"I've seen Childe!" Seeing Li Ze standing at the door looking forward to it, Tu Hu hurriedly took a few steps, clasped his hands into fists, and slammed them to the ground.
Grabbing Tu Hu's hand and holding it up, Li Ze looked at the other party's chapped hands, and said with some distress: "Why did you make it look like this?" Is there a dispensing available? ”
Tu Hu said with a smile: "Lao Gongzi is worried, this is nothing, and there is no need for any medicine, as soon as the weather is warm, it will naturally be fine, Lu Long's side, it is too cold compared to ours here, after leaving where it is, it is actually much better." ”
While taking Tu Hu's hand and walking into the house, he shouted loudly: "Xia He, Xia He, find out the lard and honey ointment, Tu Erye's hands are all human." ”
"Thank you, Childe!" Tu Hu looked at Li Zedao gratefully.
"Come up to the kang, let's sit down and talk. It's hot on the kang! Li Ze said with a smile.
Tu Hu looked at the fire kang in the house, there was already a thin old man entrenched on it, looking at himself with a few rat whiskers and smiling, and when his mind turned, he already knew that it was Gongsun Changming, he went to Lu Long this time, and one of the tasks was to check this Gongsun Changming.
"Childe, I'm still not on the kang!" Tuhu Road. "Actually, it's warm in the house!"
"I've got some food and drinks in the kitchen, let's talk while we eat. Shang Kang, Shang Kang, this is Mr. Gongsun, you know each other. Li Ze couldn't help but pull Tu Hu on the kang together.
Tu Hu looked at Gongsun Changming with a smile: "Hello Mr. Gongsun." ”
"Second Master Tu is good." Gongsun Changming smiled and returned the salute with his fists without smiling.
The eyes of the two people touched in the air, sparks flew everywhere, of course Gongsun Changming knew what Tu Hu was going to do, this guy might have inquired about his glorious deeds in Lu Long, and he didn't know how to despise himself!
"Second Master Tu is back! Our lord thinks of you every day! Xia He, who was holding a box of lard and honey paste in his hand, hurriedly walked over from inside and said with a smile. This is a peace of mind, that is, I also look forward to the second master's return every day, every time the second master comes back from a long trip, there are always gifts for me to bring back. Second master, I'll put an ointment on you. ”
Li Ze smiled and snatched the ointment from Xia He's hand: "You girl, you want to knock on the bamboo pole of the slaughtering tiger again, every time you do this, go and go, give me the medicine, I will give him medicine." ”
Stretched out his hand and pulled up Tu Hu's hands and put them on the kang table, opened the ointment box, reached out and dug a big stone, and carefully smeared Tu Hu with wide eyes.
Gongsun Changming on the side looked at Li Ze with a smile where he won people's hearts, and said that the trick was very shallow by Li Ze but there was no fireworks like a cloud of peers, everything seemed natural, which made Gongsun Changming admire it very much, that little girl is also a wonderful person, gags, interspersed in the meantime, so that the atmosphere of a warm family is even more present. Looking at the slaughtering tiger, his eyes were red.
"Second Master forgot this time?" Xia He's eyes widened, pretending to hide his disappointed look: "Also, it's so cold over there, and the second master is coming and going in a hurry this time." ”
"Miss Xia He, no matter how busy you are, I don't dare to forget to bring you a gift." Tu Hu said with a smile: "I collected a few good ginseng sticks for my son, the real good things have a human form, at least a hundred years ago, Miss Xia He, I found you a white mink coat, it is very rare." ”
"Oh, such a good thing, where can I be blessed, let's give it to Madame!" Xia Ho Road.
"Don't pretend, how could Tu Hu not bring something to Madame?" Li Ze rolled his eyes and gave it to Xia He, "Look at your eyes, I can't wait to take it out and put it on now." After applying, you will move your hands around, and after a while the ointment will be absorbed, you can do it, this ointment is specially asked to be matched by the master, and the effect is good! ”
"Thank you, Childe." Tu Hu said gratefully.
Li Ze patted Tu Hu's shoulder: "One family, don't talk about two families, like you just said that you bought me a few old ginseng, I won't thank you." ”
"How can this be the same?" Slaughtering the Tiger Ne Tunnel.
Li Ze laughed and said to Xia He: "Girl, don't stand here and worry about your mink coat, go and bring the wine and food first!" It's yours and you won't be able to fly again."
Xia He happily went out to greet the food on the table.
A cup of scalded rice wine is in the stomach, and in the hot pot made of brass, the thinly cut mutton is soaked in it, and then dipped in the sauce in front of the saucer, stuffed into the mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed it, and a few more blood colors immediately appeared on the face.
"It's still delicious food at home, but it's really unaccustomed to eating outside, every time I go out, what I miss the most is the food at home." Tu Hu said with emotion.
Because of the existence of Li Ze, the food in the Zhuangzi has always been extremely exquisite, after eating in the Zhuangzi for a long time, and then going out to eat, it is not right to eat anything, just like Gongsun Changming, and now his appetite is raised day by day, even if he used to be a guest of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, the food is more, and the more expensive is expensive, but when it comes to doing fine and eating well, it is really not as good as this small Zhuangzi.
"If it's delicious, eat more, the second master won't be able to come back a few times a year." Xia He, who was standing under the kang, diligently gave Tuhu cloth vegetables again and again, and Li Ze laughed.
"This little girl must have secretly gone to see her mink coat when she just went out here, and she must have been very satisfied, so she came here to be courteous."
"Not really!" Xia He blushed, "I just went to take a look, and I didn't touch it!" ”
The crowd burst out laughing.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, his body was warm, and there were already some beads of sweat on his forehead, Tu Hu put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Ze and said: "Childe, the situation on Lu Long's side is indeed as predicted by Childe, it is not good, it looks like it will be in the past year or two, and it will be next year soon, and it will not be the year after next at the latest." ”
That's down to business. The faces of several people in the room were also serious, and Gongsun Changming's face was even more solemn, after all, he had stayed there for many years, and there were still a lot of old ones.
