Chapter 166: Exploring the Environment
Cheng Minghu thought about Qi Ying's appearance, and said coldly, "He is far from Yang Gongtian, let me tell you not to have anything to do with Qi Ying in the future."
"Yes, Daddy"
The person who feeds the horses in the granary is called Ah Cai, Ah Cai is very poor without wealth, otherwise he would not do such a job, Zhang Zhongping is in Ah Cai's dilapidated wooden house, Ah Cai looked at Zhang Zhongping in surprise and asked, "You said someone wants to feed the horses for me?" No, if that person makes a mistake, I'll be gone."
It is not easy for Ah Cai to find a job with little knowledge, Zhang Zhongping understood that Ah Cai was worried and said with a smile, "It's not for people to rob you of your job, just this afternoon, since you have time, I will invite you to Yingchun Tower"
"Yingchun Building!" Ah Cai's saliva was about to flow down when he heard these three words, and he swallowed and salivaed, "How long have we not seen each other?"
Zhang Zhongping was stunned, this matter really hasn't been carefully calculated, and the other party can only roughly estimate "three or four months, if you don't say it, it's three or four months"
"It's half a year!" Ah Cai looked at Zhang Zhongping carefully, and seemed to blame this friend for not being authentic, Ah Cai didn't give Zhang Zhongping a good face and said, "I haven't seen anyone for half a year, and suddenly came to me and said that someone wanted to feed the horse for me, and said, what do you want to do?" ”
Suddenly asking for help is also abrupt, no matter what, you have to find a way to convince the other party, Zhang Zhongping said with a smile, "What are you doing?" What are you thinking, what can you do in a place where you feed horses?"
Don't look at Ah Cai just as a horse feeder, there is still vigilance, Ah Cai is full of confusion and asks, "What are you not doing?" Don't do anything, who wants to do this work for me, you think I only feed the horses and clean the horse manure, I haven't seen anyone take the initiative to come to the door because of this"
Zhang Zhongping saw that Ah Cai didn't agree, so he could only mention the old things, and said with emotion: "Last year, the gale blew off half of your roof, who gave you the money to repair the house?" Are you saying that I also know that you are in difficulty, and I asked you for money? ”
When it came to this, Ah Cai was of course very grateful, at that time Zhang Zhongping had a quarrel with Yuan Lingsu for this matter, no one borrowed money at the beginning and almost didn't even have a place to live, if it wasn't for Zhang Zhongping to help, then now he is homeless. This distraction is in my heart.
Since it is Nian En, then Ah Cai is now very embarrassed, "Anyway, I." I'll pay you back, I can't promise you this, don't think I don't know what you want to do."
Ah Cai looked like he thought Zhang Zhongping had other plans, and Zhang Zhongping said at first sight, "What do I want to do?" What do you think I'm going to do? ”
Ah Cai looked like he had an insight into the opportunity and said, "What are you going to do, you see that I can't pay the money, and you want someone to go in and steal the horse for me to pay off the debt."
Zhang Zhongping cried and laughed, "What do you see you thinking, who doesn't know those horses in Bei'an, and someone dares to collect them if they steal them?" ”
Ah Cai thought about it, but he was still skeptical, "I won't agree anyway, who knows what the hell you have ideas"
Zhang Zhongping saw that there was no way but to say, "In this way, as long as you help me with this, we will write off the money."
"Write-off!" Ah Cai stared at Zhang Zhongping with a tempted look: "Is it really a write-off?" ”
Zhang Zhongping smiled and said, "It's not just a write-off, I also invite you to Yingchun Tower, it's always okay."
Ah Cai thought for a while, "You really won't hurt me?" ”
"Look at what you said, what do I do to hurt you, what do you want, what do you want" Zhang Zhongping looked at Ah Cai with amusement.
Ah Cai thought that there was someone guarding the door, and even if the horse was so big, he couldn't hide it, "A write-off, and go to Yingchun Tower?" ”
Seeing that Ah Cai was tempted, Zhang Zhongping smiled with confidence, "Go, go today"
The granary used to be one of the most capable buildings in Bei'an, how many people had to rely on it to hoard food to feed, even if there was a time when it was high-spirited, since it was abandoned, the shape of the building has not been so high-spirited, and it has become insignificant, like a person who has fallen out of favor.
People and buildings fall out of favor when the performance is different, people fall out of favor and work hard maybe there is a chance to come again, the building is not good, once it falls out of favor its fate is only deserted, the granary has not yet been deserted into a stable, it is a frightened standing, if the granary can speak, then someone will definitely hear its satisfaction, can be a stable in front of it, at least it will not be demolished.
Ah Cai is now drinking with Zhang Zhongping in Yingchun Building, and the cost is naturally paid by Lu Kai, Zhang Zhongping replied to the song and told Lu Kai that he was Ah Cai's substitute, the insignificant granary was in Lu Kai's eyes, and there were two insignificant people standing in front of the granary.
The people who watch the stables are not the people of the Beishu hussars, the soldiers of the Beishu hussars will not come to see the stables, and the people of the city defense department will not come, watching the stables is the lowest job, and the salary will not be very much, so this person looks sullen from the look of his face.
The sullen person is called Ah Le, Ah Le saw that Lu Kaimian was very raw, Lu Kai walked towards Ah Le, Ah Le looked at people and asked, "Something?" ”
Lu Kai does not despise Ah Le, the person who can find ways to support himself is the most respectable, Lu Kai said with a smile, "I am a friend of Ah Cai, he has something to do for me today"
Lu Kai made a makeover, his face was dotted with pockmarks, his mouth was full of yellow teeth, and his clothes were so old that he was even more depressed than the sullen Ah Le, Ah Le looked at Lu Kai and asked, "Substitute work?" Why haven't you heard him say it? ”
No one is more likely to make excuses than Lu Kai, "Ah Cai is a little anxious to find me, I have done this work before, and he will come tomorrow"
Ah Cai doesn't come to the stable, those jobs can't be done by himself, Ah Le said, "It's the best to do it, don't grind if you are good"
Lu Kai nodded in response, Ah Le turned sideways and let Lu Kai in, inside the door was a courtyard, the granary was in the innermost, there was a room in the yard, lit by candlelight, Ah Le did not follow up, Lu Kai walked to the door of the house and looked inside, there was only one bed inside, which means that there was only one person guarding here, and Lu Kai did not delay for long to take a look at it and walked to the granary.
Three cart covers are placed outside the granary, which can also indicate that at least three or six horses belong to other coachmen, and when they enter the warehouse, of course, they can't do fake work, but they must really do it, and observe the granary while feeding the horses.
Beishu hussar rides thirty horses in the left horse pen, the coachman six horses in the right horse pen, see six horses, that is to say, three horse sets each set of two, in the Beishu hussar and the coachman's horse pen there is a big bucket containing horse food, in the Beishu Hussar riding pen side of the bucket put a lot of grass and carrots, and the coachman's bucket is filled with grass, no carrots, if you want to say in detail that the grass in the two barrels is different.
The grass in the Beishu hussar barrel is very green, it has just been cut not long after a look, and the grass in the coachman's barrel is a little yellowish, and you can know that the sun has been exposed at a glance, and the price is different for different colors, and there is no listing in the horse pen to say which is the Beishu hussar riding horses, which are the coachman horses, but it is very clear from the horse food.
Lu Kai first fed the horses riding in Beishu, and as soon as the horse food was put into the manger, he saw Ah Le also come in, Ah Le looked at Lu Kai curiously, "I really haven't seen Ah Cai's friend, he often goes alone"
Lu Kai heard Ah Le come in and talk, and at a glance, he knew that he usually chatted with Ah Cai, but also, it was boring to look at the granary alone, and Lu Kai couldn't help but reply when he had spoken, Lu Kai smiled while feeding the horses, "I don't know Ah Cai very well, I just live on the same street, and it was very unexpected to ask me to help this time."
Ah Le smiled, "He has been working here for three years, and he has never seen anyone called to replace him, what is the matter with him?" ”
Lu Kaidao said, "I don't know very well, I just happened to have nothing to do when I came to me in a hurry, and the neighbors and neighbors could help."
Ah Le said, "You are also very kind-hearted, if you change to someone else's work, I am afraid that you will not come."
It would be better for Ah Le to talk to him himself, and Lu Kai took the opportunity to ask, "You and Ah Cai are working here?" ”
Someone chatted Ah Le was very happy, and would not take the initiative to stop the flower head, "No, this warehouse is the second master of Nancheng, who used to open a grain store in Bei'an, and the wars have been continuous over the years, and the above often comes to ask for grain, sometimes it is for the offering, sometimes the grain money is half deducted and half is deducted, how can the grain store be closed for a long time"
Lu Kai asked with a smile, "Close the grain store and use the warehouse as a stable?" ”
"That's not what I said," Ah Le said with a smile, "Now this warehouse is not the second master's, it is the boss of the East Medicine Hall, it turned out to be a medicine storehouse, and I don't know how to let people ride and release horses for Beishu Hu."
This is interesting, Ah Le can't guess it, but Lu Kai can guess some, the medicine car must have a lot of fees to enter and exit the city gate, a little to let the Beishu hussars get a little less, and use this medicine warehouse as a cage for warmth.
This is also speculation, whether it is this explanation or not, only Boss Ji knows.
