Section 5 The Mysterious Man (1)

The whole county belongs to Shao County, is a small county town built by the mountain, because of the remoteness, the main cities are far away, although the territory is under the jurisdiction of Shao County, in fact, there are few officials to ask. Originally, it was just a small village of a few families, but because the mountain was rich in golden locust, people often came to pick it, and the medicine farmers also came to the mountain to plant, and the population under the mountain gradually increased, so there was a whole county.

Yao Jin thought that this was just a small county, and there were not many people on the street, so she drove her horse into the town briskly, but a few steps away from the wide road, a carriage with sacks and cages parked on the side of the road, many coachmen and stewards were busy carrying, covering tarpaulins or counting the quantity, and some had a very happy conversation with the medicine farmers, and it was very prosperous. The shops and inns on both sides and the dim sum stalls on the street were also very bustling, and Yao Jin asked curiously: "What are these people transporting? Is it the harvest season? It doesn't look like fruits, vegetables, and grain." ”

At this time, Liu Xiaolong came briskly from the other side of the street, he had already booked a room at the inn in advance, and he came to greet everyone at this time. While holding Yao Jin's horse, he replied: "My subordinates have inquired when they first came, most of the people in this town are mainly planting, harvesting and selling golden acacia, which is a commonly used medicinal material, and today is the day they agreed to deliver the goods, and most of these cars and horses are from all over the world pharmacists and dart teams to pick up the goods." By the way, Childe, his subordinates have taken a turn in the town, there are two inns in the town, the front one is larger, and the subordinates have booked the best upper room on the second floor, Childe must be tired of riding horses all the way, why don't you go to the inn to rest first?"

"Not busy, not busy, it's very lively here, I'll take a look first. "Yao Jin likes such a small market full of fireworks, busy looking left and right, suddenly glimpsed a wonton stall on the side of the road, the stall owner about a pot of wontons is just right, is lifting the lid of the pot, a moment of hot heat spread, the pot soup one by one fat wontons crowded and scrambled to float up, the appearance is very attractive, next to a row of bowls in the condiments have been placed, the soy sauce color is bright, green onion and garlic white dotted in the meantime, a strong fragrance came, Yao Jin suddenly felt hungry, so he turned his head to greet Xuannu," This wonton looks good, why don't you sit down and use some together, are you cute to eat?"

Xuannu smiled and nodded, turned over and dismounted and walked to the stall to talk to the stall owner; Liu Xiaolong beckoned a team of capable guards to stay, and the others and the carriage and horses went to the inn to settle down first; at this time, Lin Yuebai had already got off the carriage, and she was also dressed as a young man when she went out this time, with a silver-gray shirt inside and a white dress outside, and she was a handsome young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. She saw Yao Jin standing in the middle of the road looking at the other side in a daze, and stepped forward and pulled her sleeve: "What are you looking at? Quickly stand to the side, there are cars coming and going here, and I will hit you again if I don't pay attention for a while." ”

At this time, Yao Jin looked at a shop opposite, furrowed his brows slightly, touched Lin Yuebai with his elbow, and said, "Look at the carriage in front of the pharmacy opposite." ”

"Which one?"

"The largest one, the wheel of the car is painted with a circle of gold, you look carefully at the box on the car, is there a 'Jiang' word on it?"

"Yes, it's painted with a river character, it seems to be ...... It seems to be still gold paint, and it seems to be a big buyer. Lin Yuebai had just finished speaking, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said in surprise: "That's Jiangmen?"

"Well, it must be Jiangmen. Yao Jin was silent for a moment, and then said: "We came here, and Jiangmen also came here, isn't it a bit of a coincidence?" ”

"Jiangmen is already in the medicinal herb business, and it is not uncommon for us to come here, don't you think too much? Besides, we came out quietly, and no outsiders know about it, and Jiangmen is not an enemy, so it doesn't matter if we come here. Lin Yuebai stretched out her hand and brushed a leaf on Yao Jin's shoulder, "Don't guess, let's go eat wontons, Xuannu is watching us." ”

Yes, Jiangmen is not an enemy - in fact, Jiangmen has nothing to do with me anymore, what do I mind? Yao Jin shook his head, and was about to turn around, when an old man suddenly pushed him out of the shop on the opposite side, and saw that the guy in the store was pushing him out of the shop with all hands and feet, while shouting to go quickly, but the old man seemed to refuse, and he was about to rush into the store between pushing and pulling, and several coachmen who were originally standing next to the Jiang family's carriage saw this, so they went up to help the old man, and for a while the two groups of people scuffled at the door of the store. Some people pointed to the shop and said that this black-hearted shop was not reputable, and some people said that the old man forced to buy it, and chattered about it, but no one was willing to step forward to pull the rack.

Yao Jin didn't care about this kind of business in the business, and after a few more glances, he turned his head and left, the two returned to the wonton stall and sat down, seeing that the stall owner had put bowls of steaming wontons on the table, and enthusiastically wiped the table with a rag, Yuebai smiled and thanked the stall owner, then pulled Yao Jin to sit next to Xuannu, and took out the silver needle in the wonton, The soup and bowl were tried, and when they saw that they were fine, they nodded to Yao Jin, Yao Jin beckoned the stall owner to add a spoonful of vinegar to himself, and then he ate with a smile, and the two tables next door were Liu Xiaolong and a group of guards, and everyone saw that Yao Jin moved the chopsticks, so they followed.

This wonton has a thin skin, although the meat is a little fat, but the filling is filled with a full amount of green onions, and it tastes fragrant, and everyone is hungry after a long time, and most of them are young and strong men, one by one eating very energetically, Lin Yuebai saw this, so he got up and beckoned the stall owner to make another pot, and turned his face, but saw that Yao Jin's chopsticks were getting slower and slower.

"What's wrong? Didn't you like to eat small wontons the most in the past?" Seeing her thoughtful look, Lin Yuebai touched her elbow, "Isn't it greasy?"

"No, I always feel that something is wrong-" Yao Jin put down his chopsticks and looked back at the shop opposite, still making a crowd of people around, and from time to time there was a loud quarrel between the shopkeeper and the old man:

"Ben has said so much, even if you Jiangmen are big, there is no such unreasonable!"

"You have a lot of rotten and miscellaneous things here, you can open it and take a look, and you can see for yourself! How many catties and taels can be used in it?"

"You're talking nonsense! There are so many pharmacies that come to get the medicine, and everyone else can take it and leave, you pick and choose, and if other people can use it, you can't use it? I think you're just trying to find fault!"

"Others don't understand because they are not doctors, so they are deceived by you, I have been practicing medicine for several years, how can I be deceived by you! If you say that I have wronged you, then you will open all those pockets, let's pick them out one by two and recalculate, and see how many usable goods you can give me!"

"You, you old stubborn! I have been supplying to Jiangmen for several years, and every year it is the steward who comes to pick up the goods, and every time it goes smoothly, there is never a problem! Why did I send you here this year-you say, are you pretending to be from Jiangmen, what are your intentions!"

The loud quarrel reached Yao Jin's ears, and she pricked up her ears to hear the last sentence, and at this time she had already put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, got up and said, "Don't eat, go back to the inn." ”
