"Big brother, the meal is ready, and today there are pancakes you like to eat." Early in the morning, as soon as Li Zhang came down from upstairs, he saw Xiuxiu talking to him while serving everyone a meal, and his little face was always filled with a happy smile.

"It's too troublesome to make pancakes in the morning, just buy some cooking cakes and make some porridge later." Li Zhang said with a smile on his face when he saw Xiuxiu.

In the past, there were not too many requirements in Yizhuang, as long as they could fill their stomachs, but now that life is comfortable, Li Zhang also has higher requirements for food, so he has been cooking breakfast during this time, and the ugly girls have also learned, but it is estimated that there is no talent in this area, and the dishes have been unsatisfactory, until Xiuxiu came, but he showed superhuman talent in cooking, Li Zhang did whatever she cooked, she only had to look at it once, so in just a few days, she replaced Li Zhang as the chef at home.

"Don't bother, big brother, the frying pan you let you make is really easy to use, frying the pancakes is a matter of a while, it doesn't take much time to move quickly, and the cooking cakes bought outside always cost money." Xiuxiu also put the rice neatly at this time, and smiled while swinging the chopsticks.

At this time, Douzi and the others also went downstairs, and when they saw the prepared breakfast, they also screamed and rushed up to eat, but they were all rushed to wash by Li Zhang, he had already set a rule for the family, don't want to eat if you don't brush your teeth or wash your face in the morning.

In addition to pancakes for breakfast, there are several large pots of cool wild vegetables, Li Zhang likes to eat pancakes and vegetables, which are delicious and nutritious, and there is also rice porridge to be fed, many people think that rice is a specialty of the south, but in fact, there is rice in the north, such as Yuanwu County next to Kaifeng City, which is famous for its abundance of rice, Zhang Liang assassinated Qin Shi Huang in Bolangsha in the Qin Dynasty, in fact, it was in Yuanwu County, and later Yuanwu County was renamed Yuanyang County, which is the famous Yuanyang rice production area in later generations.

Li Zhang's group of children are growing up, the amount of food is big, and the pancakes with a big basin Li Zhang can eat five or six in one breath, plus two large bowls of rice porridge to eat, because of malnutrition in the past, their children are thin and small, but now that nutrition has kept up, they have begun to jump up.

Of course, no matter how much Li Zhang and they can eat, they can't compare with wild dogs, half a pot of pancakes has entered his stomach, when Xiuxiu first came a few days ago, he was also taken aback by the amount of food of wild dogs, and now he is no longer surprised, and there are wild dogs, and there are wild dogs, and there are no leftovers at home.

After breakfast, Li Zhang and they also opened the door to do business, Douzi led people to greet guests in the store, Huozi led people to cook braised meat in the back, and the ugly lady led people to clean all kinds of raw materials, now braised meat is not only pig water, but also better pork, mutton, etc., but don't think about beef, killing cattle in the Great Song Dynasty is the same as killing people, of course, there are many people who eat beef in private, and even some shops sell it behind their backs, but Li Zhang doesn't want to cause trouble for himself for this little profit.

The wild dog is relatively free at home, mainly to carry water, but with his strength and speed, several water tanks in the house will be full after a while, and he will start to practice after picking, and occasionally there is some strength work at home, and all of it is covered by him.

The business in the store was also busy as usual, but now that Douzi and Huozi had grown, he didn't have to worry too much, so he sat behind the counter and planned what to teach tonight, during which Douzi and they studied every day at night, usually five words a day, and mathematics, which are all things that can be used in ordinary times.

In addition, Li Zhang is still planning to wait for some more money, so he will invite a gentleman to come to his house to teach these people to read, because he has already figured out that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the Great Song Dynasty, he must have a certain amount of officialdom power, so he wants to see if there are any seedlings of reading among his children, and if there is, even if he does his best, he will send the other party to the officialdom.

It was a very ordinary morning, everything seemed busy and calm, but at this moment, I suddenly heard a heart-rending woman's cry from the alley in the backyard, which made Li Zhang jump up all of a sudden, and the other courtyards in the yard were also startled.

"Look at the store, I'll go see what's going on!" Li Zhang immediately gave an order to Douzi and Huozi, and then walked quickly to the back door, because the woman in the alley was still crying, and the voice seemed to be a little familiar, and I didn't know who it was?

Li Zhang pushed open the back door and walked out, and the wild dogs followed, and the ugly girl and Xiuxiu also stuck their heads out of the door one by one and looked out, only to see a woman sitting there in the alley with her hair disheveled and crying.

"Sister-in-law of the Zhou family? What are you crying about here? When Li Zhang got closer, he found that it was the sister-in-law of the Zhou family of the Hun family who was crying, that is, Cai Niang's mother, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise, and at the same time stretched out his hand to help the other party up.

"Cai Niang...... Cai Niang was snatched away! When the sister-in-law of the Zhou family saw Li Zhang's acquaintance, she also seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and grabbed Li Zhang's arm and shouted.

"What? Who captured it, and in which direction did the thief flee? Li Zhang also hurriedly asked when he heard this, Cai Niang is not only a playmate of Tanuki, but also their friend, especially Huozi is talking about abducting Cai Niang home as a daughter-in-law every day.

"That'...... There! The sister-in-law of the Zhou family pointed forward with a distorted face at this time, and when Li Zhang turned his head to look, he found that it was the sewer at the mouth of the alley, which was originally sealed with a stone slab, and a small hole was opened on it to pour dirty water into it, but now the stone slab was removed.

"Ghost beggar!" Li Zhang saw the sewer and immediately understood what was going on, after all, during this time, there were rumors in the entire city of Tokyo that ghost beggars were robbing women and children.

"Whoosh~" As soon as Li Zhang's words fell, a figure rushed out of the side and got into the sewer, it was the wild dog that came out with Li Zhang just now.

Seeing the wild dog rushing into the sewer alone, Li Zhang was also a little worried, and immediately rushed to the mouth of the sewer, only to find that it was pitch black below, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and he didn't have the ability to see things at night, so even if he jumped, it wouldn't help much.

At this time, the cry of the sister-in-law of the Zhou family also attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors, especially Zhou Laoshi, who was greeting guests in the store, also rushed over, and when he learned that his baby daughter was captured by the ghost beggar, he rolled his eyes and fainted, and the people around him were also in a hurry to save Zhou Laoshi, but they couldn't do it, and Li Zhang couldn't take care of the wild dogs, so he could only run back to rescue Zhou Laoshi.

Zhou Laoshi just fainted in a hurry, and was quickly rescued, but when he woke up, he immediately rushed into the sewer, but was pulled by the people around him, although the sister-in-law of the Zhou family was crying breathlessly at this time, but also stepped forward to hug Zhou Laoshi and not let him go down, because they all know that the sewer is complicated, and it is not easy to get out if you go in, and those ghost beggars are ruthless, even if they catch up, they may die in the hands of the other party, she has lost her daughter and does not want to lose her husband again.

Zhou Laoshi ignored the persuasion of his wife and the people around him, and still tried his best to drill into the sewer, usually so honest and honest a person, but at this time his face was as hideous as a ghost, he had such a daughter in his life, but now he has no more, and then think of those legends about Sanssouci Cave and ghost beggars, Cai Niang is probably worse than death in their hands, which makes his heart also dripping blood.

But just when there was a mess at the mouth of the alley, I suddenly heard a strange sound from the sewer, and then the wild dog crawled out of the sewer covered in mud, holding a little girl in his hand, who was already unconscious.

"People are fine!" I saw the wild dog holding Cai Niang to Zhou Laoshi and his wife, and then handed Cai Niang to them, Li Zhang also hurriedly stepped forward to check at this time, and found that Cai Niang was only unconscious, and there was no danger to his life, so he was relieved.

"Thank you...... Thank you, little brother, you really saved our family's life! Zhou Laoshi and his wife thought they were dreaming at first, but they didn't react until they received their daughter, and when Zhou's sister-in-law hugged her daughter and cried bitterly, Zhou Laoshi jumped up and grabbed the hand of the wild dog and kept thanking him.

"Little brother is really powerful, I've never heard that the people captured by the ghost beggars can be saved!" The people around also reacted at this time, and they were full of amazement and praised the wild dog, but the wild dog was obviously not used to other people's thanks, and at this time it seemed very uncomfortable.

"Uncle Zhou, Cai Niang is fine, but she must have been frightened, you better hurry up and find a doctor to prescribe him a calming medicine!" Li Zhang opened his mouth to persuade at this time, and he also found that although the wild dog's body was full of mud, it seemed that he had deliberately made it, and the wild dog's face seemed to be splashed with some dark red stains, which looked more like blood stains than sludge.

Zhou Laoshi also felt justified when he heard Li Zhang's words, and hurriedly took Cai Niang back to see the doctor, Li Zhang also beckoned the neighbors around him, lifted the stone slab of the sewer up again and covered it, and also asked people to find a few stones to press it, of course, this is just an expedient measure, Li Zhang is ready to wait to find a blacksmith and seal the stone slab with iron bars, so as not to have any ghost beggars from here in the future.

After doing the above, Li Zhang took the wild dog and returned home in the praise of the neighbors, the ugly lady and they also saw the wild dog to save Cai Niang, and they all chattered around at the moment, and the raccoon dog was even more energetic to thank the wild dog, but it made the wild dog even more uncomfortable, and it was best to be driven by Li Zhang, and the ugly girl and they dispersed.

"Are you hurt?" After the people around him dispersed, Li Zhang asked the wild dog.

"Nope!" The wild dog replied very dryly, only to see him hesitate for a moment, and then said with a cold face, "I killed two just now, and one of them escaped with an injury." ”
