Chapter 63: Liu Wuzhou
"Team Liu, I don't know what happened to this?"
Seeing the person who came, Wei Chigong hurriedly put down the work in his hand and greeted him.
The person who came was also a military man, not as tall as Captain Chi Gong, but he still looked strong.
This person is none other than Wei Chigong's boss Liu Wuzhou.
This kind of difference and rank is often more obvious in the strict demanding army.
Therefore, Wei Chigong was very enthusiastic about his sudden visit.
In addition to this, there is another reason that this Liu Wuzhou, like him, is also from Mayi County.
It's just that Liu Wuzhou's background is much higher than him.
Before entering the army, he was just a farmer and a part-time blacksmith, but Liu Wuzhou was one of the wealthy local families.
Although he was expelled from the house by his brother because he liked to play and was brave and ruthless, he thought that he would eventually affect the family, but after all, he still couldn't change his background, and he belonged to the kind that our ancestors had also been broad.
This difference in origin also made Wei Chigong have some indescribable respect for him.
"It's nothing, it's just that today I suddenly remembered that you weren't worth it, so I thought about coming over to see you."
Liu Wuzhou laughed and laughed.
Wei Chigong caught a glimpse of the small jar of wine that Liu Wuzhou was carrying in his hand, and knew in his heart that this Liu Wuzhou coming today would definitely not be as simple as he said, but he didn't know what he was talking about?
Thinking like this in his heart, he didn't ask, he was not a person who couldn't hold his breath, and even if he took Liu Wuzhou to the house, let him.
Liu Wuzhou was not polite and took the lead in entering Wei Chigong's residence.
"I heard that Jingde, you know a country boy who sells salted fish?"
After coming to the house, after the two talked for a while, Liu Wuzhou looked at Wei Chigong and asked with a smile, looking like he didn't care much.
Wei Chigong couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, he had been guessing Liu Wuzhou's intentions in his heart for a while, and he also thought of several possibilities, but he didn't expect that this person actually came for the young man who sold salted fish.
However, the surprise in Wei Chigong's heart did not last long, because he remembered that the Liu family also had a salt business.
I heard that when the boy was selling salted fish in the county town, it caused quite a stir, and many people were still waiting for the salted fish seller to go again.
Under such circumstances, the Liu family inquired about the young man's situation and said the past.
As for why Liu Wuzhou, who had been expelled from the Liu family two years ago, came to inquire about this matter to himself, Wei Chigong didn't want to delve into it.
Because there's no need to be surprised if anything happens in the big family.
Thinking like this, the strange boy also came to mind.
"I don't know it, but when he entered the city, he checked twice and talked twice."
Wei Chigong said loudly, without denying it, because this matter could not be denied, Liu Wuzhou found himself directly here, which means that he already knew about this before.
"Then Jingde, do you know what his surname is and where he lives?"
Liu Wuzhou poured a bowl of wine from the wine jar with Yu Chigong and himself, picked up and motioned for Yu Chigong to share a glass with him, swallowed two sips of wine, and asked.
"This ......"
Wei Chigong thought hard, and after a while, he shook his head with a wry smile: "It's been some time since this happened, and I am on duty at the city gate, and I see many people every day, and I haven't paid much attention to it before, so I can't remember these things clearly."
But there is one thing I remember, that young man is our Shanyang people's clan, and it doesn't seem to be too far from the county seat. ”
Wei Chigong did not forget the name and surname of the young man, the young man's name was Han Cheng, and he was a native of Qingqueli, Shanhe Township, Shanyang County, and he could recall all of this.
But he didn't want to tell Liu Wuzhou.
The Liu family runs a salt shop, and this young man sells salted fish, but now he has come to inquire about this young man's news, and he doesn't need to think about it to know that there will definitely be nothing good.
Of course, this was not because the young man's words of 'standing up to the sky and standing up to the earth' made him useful, but because Wei Chigong himself hated the high price of salt.
His family is not wealthy, after being a soldier and eating, life is a little better, but it is still tight, and now the price of salt has risen wildly, and the hard-earned income is not enough to eat salt, it would be strange if he had a good impression of the high price of salt.
The salted fish sold by the country boys, they had one in their house, which was purchased by the family a few days ago.
Although it is only salted fish, it tastes not much worse than real salt, and it is salty enough.
When cooking every day, add some crushed salted fish foam to it to make the meal salty.
Because the salt used is green salt, and the taste of the salted fish itself is not bad, the porridge boiled with minced salted fish as salt has a different taste when drinking, and it is much better than the original yellow-brown coarse salt.
The price of fifty yuan a pound is indeed expensive, but compared with the soaring price of salt today, it is already an extraordinarily conscientious price.
It can be said that it is very rare to be able to sell such salted fish at such a price at such a time.
He Wei Chigong is not a person with overflowing good intentions, but the conscience in his heart has not been extinguished, and if he can't meet it, forget it, and now this matter has just fallen on his own head, and if he can, of course he wants to help.
But if you directly say that you forgot to be clean, it can't be justified, after all, Liu Wuzhou is his boss, and now for this matter, he specially came to his place for a trip, and also brought a jar of wine.
To help others is to help, but you can't trap yourself in it.
So Wei Chigong said that the young man was from Shanyang County.
However, there is not much difference between this point and not, and the fact that the young man was able to come to the county town to sell salted fish shows that the place where he lives is not particularly far from the county seat.
Even if he doesn't say it, Liu Wuzhou and they can also know.
"That's right."
Liu Wuzhou said with some regret, then looked at Wei Chigong and said, "Jingde think again." ”
Wei Chigong thought about it for a while, still shook his head with a wry smile, and then came up with an idea: "Presumably that kid will come to sell salted fish, if he comes again, I will definitely interrogate him clearly." ”
Next time? It's too late next time.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything here, he sat here for a while, Liu Wuzhou got up and left, and Wei Chigong sent him to the outside of the courtyard gate.
Liu Wuzhou left Wei Chigong here with a heavy heart and walked to another place.
He didn't have any doubts about what Wei Chigong said, because what Wei Chigong said was the truth, he was on duty at the city gate, and he had to see so many people in a day, and the other party was not a particularly conspicuous figure, so many days had passed, and it was normal to not remember clearly.
Moreover, he also knows Wei Chigong's character very well, he was born as a blacksmith, he is a loyal and honest person, if he really knows, he will never hide anything from himself.
